1.. You can't make money overnight


You 've seen adverts like, "start making thousands of dollars within 24 hours", or "fill up your bank account at the click of a
button." Yes, I'm sure you've come across them. But do you need someone to tell you that they're nothing but blatant lies and scams?

See, you can't make money overnight from online business. .
Now, I'm not saying you can't start making money within a shorter timeframe. In fact, you can start making money few months after
starting your online business, or even sooner, depending on the type of business. But bear in mind that you won't start making money immediately.

Dump the idea of making money right from the start. Rather, focus on building a large audience, building trust, and positioning yourself as an expert in your chosen niche. Once you've achieved all these, you'll easily convince people to take whatever action you want from them. And that's when your profit will start flowing in ceaselessly.
But you can't achieve all these overnight.


2.. Online business is not rosy, especially from the start

Have you been thinking that all you need to do is create your web page, publish some articles you scraped from other sites, litter your sidebar with ads and affiliate links, and sit back to watch your income soar? My friend, you've been dreaming! So wake up now.

Online business isn’t that rosy.
You'll need to set up a web page or blog that looks very professional and attractive. You'll need to write and publish several articles.
Now, not just articles – unique, valuable, and error-free articles that will engage your audience and position you as an expert in your chosen niche.
You'll need to spend time on monitoring your analytics and traffic, keyword research, finding new post ideas, experimenting with SEO techniques, and so on.

In short, you'll need to spend lots of time, energy, and money. That's
the fact!

3. Specificity is the shortcut to online business success

If you're thinking of starting a blog on general health and wellness,
I'll advise you to drop that idea. Do you know why?

Because that niche is very huge and already dominated by some monster sites (like WebMD, Mayo Clinic, Medline, etc.) that you can never topple in the rankings for most keywords, no matter how hard you try.
Instead, streamline your focus by blogging on a smaller niche like health tips for pregnant women, weight loss tips for busy and lazy
people, etc. This way, you'll quickly achieve success due to the specificity of the niche.
So, it's either you narrow your focus, or you fizzle out!


4.. Online business involves lots of trial and error.

Yes, you'll need to carry out many experiments if you want to succeed in online business. Sometimes, you may have to risk losing money, just to find out what will bring results and what will not.

As I stated below , not all proven techniques will work for you. So,you need to keep trying different ones to know which works. If you're the type that hates experimenting, I'm sorry, online business isn't for you


5.. Tactics that worked magically for others may not work for you .

That's just it! If I should reveal how I've been making a living from cryptomarketing for the past two years, and you were to adopt all
my tactics perfectly, you still may end up not making any money. So,no tactic guarantees success in online business.

(I think that's where some traces of luck come in.)

Creating a viable investment plan requires a little more than simply establishing a savings account and buying a few random shares of stocks. In order to structure a plan that is right, it's important to understand where you're at and what you want to accomplish with the investments. Then, you'll define how to reach those goals and select the best investment options to reach them. The good news is that it is never too late to create and implement a personal investment plan and begin creating a nest egg for the future.

1 . Select an age-appropriate investment option.

Your age will have a significant impact on your investment strategy.
Generally speaking, the younger you are, the more risk you can take. That's because you have more time to recover from a market downturn or loss of value in a particular investment. So, if you're in your 20's, you can allocate more of your portfolio to more aggressive investments (like growth-oriented and small-cap companies for example).

If you're nearing retirement, allocate more of your portfolio to less aggressive investments, like fixed-income, and large-cap value companies.


2. Understand your current financial situation.

Be aware of how much disposable income you have available to invest. Take a look at your budget and determine how much money is left over for investments following your monthly expenses and after you have set aside an emergency fund equivalent to three to 6 months' worth of expenses.


3. Set goals for your investments.

What do you want to do with the money you make from your investments?
Do you want to retire early?
Do you want to buy a nice house?
Do you want a boat?[
As a rule of thumb, you're going to want a diversified portfolio no matter what your goal is (buying a house, saving for a child's college education, etc.). The idea is to let the investment grow over a long period of time so that you have enough to pay for the goal.

If your goal is particularly aggressive, you should put more money in the investment periodically rather than opting for a more risky investment. That way, you're more likely to achieve your goal rather than lose the money that you've invested.

4. Establish a timeline for your goals. How soon do you want to reach your financial goals? That will determine the type of investments you make.

If you're interested in getting a great return on your investment quickly, and you are prepared to take the risk that you could also see a great loss just as quickly, then you'll select more aggressive investments that have the potential for significant return. These include undervalued stocks, penny stocks, and land that might quickly appreciate in value.

If you're interested in building wealth slowly, you'll select investments that generate a slower return on investment over time.


5. Decide on how you want to diversify.

You don't want to put all your eggs in one basket. For example: Every month, you might want to put 30% of your investment money into stocks, another 30% into bonds, and the remaining 40% into a savings account. Adjust those percentages and investment options so that they're in line with your financial goals.

6. Ensure that your plan is in line with your risk profile.

If you put 90% of your disposable income into stocks every month, then you're going to lose a lot of money if the stock market crashes. That might be a risk that you're willing to take, but be sure that's the case.

7. Consult a financial adviser.Consult a financial adviser. If you're uncertain about how to set up a plan in line with your goals and your risk profile, talk to a qualified financial adviser and get some feedback.

Confirm.

The All Progressives Congress, Peoples Democratic Party and All Progressive Grand Alliance candidates for last Saturday’s rerun governorship elections in Taraba, Imo and Abia States on Sunday kicked against the results in their respective states.

The candidates- Aisha Alhassan(APC), Emeka Ihedioha(PDP) and Alex Otti(APGA) told journalists that the elections in their states were charaterised by irregularies.

While Alhassan and Otti said they would go to the tribunal to challenge the outcomes, Ihedioha, said he would leave the decision on whether to challenge the result to his party.

Alhassan was defeated by PDP’s Daruis Ishaku while Otti lost to Okezie Ikpeazu, also of the PDP. Ihedioha, who is the deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, lost to Governor Rochas Okorocha of the APC.

In Jalingo, Taraba State, the candidate told a news conference that the entire electoral process was like a “daylight robbery.”

She said, “The governorship election in Taraba State was characterised by violence, massive rigging, ballot snatching and abuse of the card readers in substantial parts of the state by the PDP and their allies.”

Alhassan contended that results ascribed to Wukari, Donga, Takum, Sardauna, Zing, Yorro, Kurmi and some parts of Ussa, Karim-Lamido, Bali, Ardo-Kola and Lau local government areas were not acceptable as they did not reflect the true outcome of the election in Taraba.

Alleging that all the complaints about irregularities and abuse of the election guidelines were reported to INEC, she said she would challenge the outcome at the tribunal.

INEC Returning Officer in the state, Kyari Mohammed, said Ishaku scored 369,318 votes as against Alhassan’s 275,984.

Mohammed said there were 1,461,645 total registered voters in the state, of which 787,516 were accredited for the election.

He explained that the total valid votes cast were 681,166, while the total votes rejected were 174,131.

The April 11 governorship election in the state was declared inconclusive due to what INEC described as widespread irregularities.

In Umuahia, the APGA National leadership claimed that like the April 11 polls in the state, Saturday’s exercise was marred by irregularities.

The party’s Chairman, Mr. Victor Umeh, told journalists that INEC colluded with the PDP to rig the election in favour of Ikpeazu

He expressed shock that INEC ignored APGA’s earlier call for the outright cancellation of results from three Local Government Areas in the April 11 poll but instead reinstated the cancelled results.

Umeh, who contested and lost the senatorial election in Anambra State on March 28, said, “The controversy that was generated by the returning officer in reinstating the election results he had cancelled in Obingwa, Osisioma and Isialangwa North necessitated APGA’s earlier call for the cancelation of the “ out of the reality figures from the affected councils.”

He insisted that INEC ought to have sustained the cancellation of the results from the three councils as it did in Imo State in 2011.

Umeh alleged that “ even the re- run was held under incoherent preparations as up till Friday night, details of polling units remained speculative. “

He said, “APGA rejects the result of the poll as announced not because we cannot lose elections. We can accept losing an election through a credible process. We won the election clearly but our mandate was stolen.

“Accordingly, we will not resort to self help; we will challenge the result at the tribunal.’’

“APGA will firmly stand by Otti until he reclaims his stolen mandate.’’

Umeh called on the President – elect, Muhammadu Buhari, to probe electoral fraud in the South-East after his inauguration because “while other parts of the country are celebrating democracy, INEC used the zone for an experiment.’’

Otti thanked Abians for “their massive support “for him, and appealed to them to remain calm and prayerful as he prepares to head for the tribunal.

He said, “ Election has come and gone but the battle has just started. Evil cannot prevail over good but if it seems to prevail, it is only for a while.

“Weeping can only endure for a night, joy comes in the morning. We will not resort to brigandage because two wrongs cannot make a right. “

Otti alleged that voters were intimidated and scared from the polling units by coffins paraded in Aba by suspected PDP sympathisers on the eve of the election.

He also alleged that the rerun was fraudulently cancelled in Umunneochi after it had been listed by INEC.

The APC candidate, Nyerere Anyim and his Progressive Peoples Alliance counterpart, Chikwe Udensi, came third and fourth respectively with 10,244 and 4,381 votes .

Governor Theodore Orji, who welcomed PDP’s victory at the poll, denied that Ikpeazu was his stooge.

“I can’t manipulate a person who has a Ph.D. He has been in government for long and the era of manipulation is gone. He is intelligent enough to reject what he does not like,”he added.

He attributed Ikpeazu’s victory to people’s quest for power rotation.

Orji, therefore, called on those who lost to close ranks with the winner in the overall interest of the state.

The Police in the state however denied reports by some online news portals that there were violent clashes between the supporters of the PDP and the APC in Aba on Sunday.

Some of them had claimed that “some angry youths who felt cheated over the outcome of the poll have taken to the streets blocking major access roads leading to the home of the PDP candidate.”

According to one of the reports “PDP supporters dressed a coffin in APGA flag while chopping off a fowl head which is a symbol of the APGA”.

Also, while the APC supporters trooped to the streets celebrating Okorocha’s victory, Ihedioha alleged that INEC officials conspired to rig the governorship election in favour of the governor.

He said he was not prepared to congratulate the winner because the election was marred by massive irregularities perpetrated by the APC.

He said, “In spite of instances of identified electoral malpractices, including the arrest of over 25 members of staff of Imo State INEC, who conspired with the opposition party to manipulate and change the results of the elections already declared in favour of the PDP, incident of swapping of PDP votes in favour of the APC, all of which eroded the validity and credibility of the exercise, INEC has gone ahead to declare the APC candidate as the winner.”

However, he maintained that as a law abiding citizen, he acknowledged the declaration of the results by INEC. But he added that his party would deliberate on the details of the result and act appropriately in future.

Our correspondent in Owerri however saw jubilant APC supporters wielding brooms and chanting pro-Okorocha slogans.

They converged on the Government House chapel where Okorocha was having a thanksgiving service to congratulate him.

The elated governor dedicated his victory to the masses of the state who he described as the main victors of the election.

He said, “I have asked God to bless me so that I can bless others, I asked him to honour me so that I can honour others; give me leadership position so that I can impact on my people. This victory is for them.

“I have redeemed my campaign promises; now my people can enjoy free education, kidnapping is now a thing of the past, now it is time for job creation and setting up of industries. The first beneficiaries would be my 25,000 youths waiting for employment. One thousand others will go to Turkey for industrial training.”

He however appealed to his opponents to join hands with him to build the state.

“I suffered a lot of campaign of calumny and hate speeches from my opponents but one thing they would never say is that I did not work; now I am the governor of APC, APGA and the PDP; so I call on them to join hands with me to build this state.

Former governor of Kwara state and a
chieftain of the All Progressives Congress,
Sen. Bukola Saraki, has said that he never
collected any money from the Minister of
Petroleum, Ms Deizani Allison Madueke to
fund the campaign of the president-elect,
Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buahri (retd).
Bamikole Omishore, the Special Assistant on
Media and Advocacy to Sen. Saraki made
this known in a post on the social media
following allegation that Deizani Maduekwe
funded the campaign of Buhari through
Saraki.

Read his reaction below:

The attention of Senator Abubakar Bukola
Saraki’s media office has been drawn to an
online article alleging that the controversial
Minister of Petroleum. Ms Deiziani Allison
Madueke who has been engulfed in series
of questionable transactions made
contribution to the All Progressives
Congress through Senator Abubakar Bukola
Saraki.
This office usually will ignore such reports
as we find it completely laughable, baseless
and lacking any iota of truth. However, for
the avoidance of any doubt and to keep
with the renewed mandate of accountability
and transparency, we find it necessary to
assure the teaming Supporters of APC and
Senator Saraki that at no time did Senator
Bukola Saraki meet, discuss or had any
dealings in any form or nature with Ms
Deiziani or her agents.
Senator Saraki hereby challenges either
the Minister, her agent, associates or any
other person that might have any evidence
or information contrary to the above to
share same with Nigerians.
The last time Senator Saraki met with Ms
Deiziani was in year 2012 when the Minister,
her mother and her sister visited the
Sarakis’ on a condolence visit over the
death of Dr. Olusola Saraki, the father of
Senator Saraki.
The alleged publication is total falsehood
and completely mischievous therefore, this
story can not fly or sell, rather, the
promoter should find something else to
cling on as they remain with a drowning
party.
The credit of the success of General
Buhari, and our dear party APC across the
country can only be claimed by Nigerians in
every nook and cranny of the federation
who sacrificed their resources, time and
energy to bring about the change this
country deserves and that should not be
tainted by any individual or group of
people who stood as stumbling block to
every step taken towards achieving this
noble and worthy struggle.

Signed,
Bamikole Omishore
SA Media and Advocacy.
