Nairaland / General / 4 Reasons Why You Should Choose Offshore Fishing Over Inshore Fishing by mohtan: 4:34am On Dec 24, 2020
When it comes to fishing there are different ways someone can decide to go about the process of catching a fish. You can either opt for inshore fishing, which is fishing while remaining onshore, either from a pier or a boat that is relatively close to land. And then you have offshore fishing, which is when you sail in a boat at least 9 miles away from shore.
[center][/center]
Of course, it comes back to preference and what you are fishing for but at the end of the day, offshore fishing tends to be better than inshore fishing. And here are the 4 ways that offshore fishing is better than inshore fishing.

#4- Chance of a Bigger Catch

The deeper you head out to sea the better chance you get of running into some big fish. And if you’re looking for a trophy catch then you want to opt for offshore fishing. Make sure to pack a steady rod and enough bait, you’re going to need them.

#3- You Make More of an Activity of it

Going offshore fishing requires that you rent a bigger boat for the long trip. It also requires that you pack more luggage and gear. As opposed to inshore fishing where a bucket of bait and a small rowboat will probably make do. But with offshore fishing, you can make a big activity from it. Whether you bring your group of friends or make it a tradition of family fun fishing trips, offshore fishing is a wholesome and holistic activity.

#2- You Won’t Get the Chance to Go Offshore Fishing Often

Like I mentioned above, offshore fishing requires more preparation, planning, time, and money. A lot of things can come in the way of you going on your offshore fishing trip. For example, you can plan for the trip and purchase all the essentials and the gear, be ready for it, and with the bad luck of bad weather, have your trip canceled.
The opposite is true for inshore fishing. It doesn’t require that much preparation. In fact, you can go inshore fishing whenever you want as long as the weather is willing. That is why whenever you have the choice between offshore fishing or inshore fishing, it’s best you choose offshore because you never know when you might get that chance again.

#1- Bigger is Better

With offshore fishing, everything comes in bigger sizes than inshore fishing. Bigger boat, a bigger group to go with, bigger catch. And so that is why offshore fishing most times beats inshore fishing because bigger is better. Make a full-blown trip out of it and enjoy your time at sea. You can go fishing off the pier whenever you want. But it’s not often you will get to tackle the tide and hunt for a big catch in the middle of the ocean.

Food / 3 Food Industry Trends Driven By Digital Transformation by mohtan: 9:53am On Oct 20, 2020
Digital technology has transformed nearly every aspect of life, and the food industry is no different. Running a business in today's world is all about making use of the latest technology and following modern trends. If you want to stay ahead of your competitors, you have to be in a position where you are well aware of all the trends and know how to use them to your advantage. If you belong to the food industry, this article is going to give you a brief rundown on how you can use recent trends to optimize your operations.

Use of AI to Optimize Food Supply Chains
When it comes to market research, AI plays a very vital role in assessing data. According to the reports, almost 40% of the food produced is wasted due to inefficient planning. Through the use of AI, industries can gauge market demand and fix the issues that cause inefficiency in the food supply chain.

Logistics and Warehouse Management
Running a food business isn't only about making sure that you produce quality food, but you also have to ensure that it reaches the consumer on time. An efficient Food ERP software will help you eliminate almost all of your warehousing errors by optimizing the process of picking, packing, and shipping while keeping track of inventory and eliminating any downtime related to logistics.

Food Quality Management
When talking about B2B food companies, if there is one metric that makes the most difference, its food quality. Where food quality and quantity have always been important, with the current regulations and guidelines, businesses have to make sure that nothing gets past them without proper checking. By employing sensor technology in your business, you can monitor certain conditions like the food's temperature to make sure that it is stored and transported accurately.

Phone/Internet Market / Three Absolute Benefits Of Using Geolocation API by mohtan: 9:42am On Aug 08, 2020
You can track the location of the people that use your website or mobile application. Programmers can either build this feature or integrate an API for the same task. There are many benefits of using a geolocation API, and here is a brief of them.

Personalize Experienced
Knowing the location of your visitors allows you to provide a personalized experience for them. A personalized experience improves user interface according to the needs of the visitor. This ensures that the visitors easily find what they were looking for and keep returning to the site.

Prevention of Theft and Fraud
Stolen debit or credit cards can be easily used for online purchasing. With a geolocation API, you will be able to identify and record the location of the buyer. This helps prevent card theft and online frauds. Online websites can block such cards or report it to authorities when needed.

Targeted Advertising
Geolocation is a great way to learn and identify the visitor and use advertising that relates to him. Many websites have to show different pages and content to people from different countries and cities. A geolocation API gets the IP address of visitors so businesses use it for targeted advertising.

Properties / Smart Practices To Get More Real Estate Clients by mohtan: 5:02am On Jul 09, 2020
Businesses rely on customers. If you are not getting sales, you can’t run a business. That’s why you need to have more than one medium of getting work and expert marketers to ensure the clients keep coming in. Here I have shared some practices that will help you get more real estate clients.

Build a Consistent Brand

Half of your job is already done in every sale when you are a brand. You have to ensure the customer that you are reliable and trustworthy before they work with you. If you are a brand, you won’t have to work very hard on it. Be sure to create a brand value and uphold it at any rate. This takes time and investment, but it returns way more than you would expect.

Create a Responsive and Attractive Website

Billions of people use the internet and many of them are your prospects. If they are looking for a real estate professional, they will search it on Google and land on someone’s website. That could be your website and digital marketers will ensure that people keep coming there. You have to make sure that your real estate business website is not only attractive but also responsive on all devices, including mobile phones, tablets, and laptops.

Use a Lead Nurturing Tool

Lead is a visitor or viewer who has provided his contact information. Many become a lead even though they are not serious about becoming your customer. They lack knowledge or trust, and manually nurturing them takes a lot of time and effort. Use a tool for real estate leads to make this process more efficient and save your time. It will nurture leads for you and submit them to you when they are more likely to make a decision.

Business / 3 Ways To Use Tiktok For Business by mohtan: 1:26pm On Jun 25, 2020
There’s no denying of the fact, TikTok has become a rage across the world. Ever since inception, this social media platform has opened up a plethora of opportunities for many businesses across the globe. Although platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube are also ruling the digital industry, TikTok is a different kind of medium. If you have noticed, several brands across the world have created official accounts on TikTok to promote their business. Search for anyone, from politician to an actor; everyone will be omnipresent on this platform. Here are a few ways to use it for promoting your business;
1. Always Rely on Your Own Content

Even if your brand has recently debuted in the market, you can use TikTok for promoting your business. It all begins with planning unique content. The first ingredient for carving amazing content is to be authentic, and second is to showcase the side of the business that is actively involved in the welfare of society. This way, the audience will easily relate to your business. Sift through once + more homepage to know about their services.
2. Market Your Product or Service on TikTok

Whenever you are close to launching a new product or service, use TikTok to do it. You will be surprised to know, TikTok is also monetizing brands that can pay for the advertisement of their products. This means, once you pay for a promotion, your content will appear in the feed of an individual. You can also settle for marketing consulting before deciding to work on this platform.
3. Follow Competitors

If you want to join the bandwagon of selling your products fast, there is no harm in following your competitors. Because they're already on the platform before you, so it is imperative that you go through their social media profile to know how they have worked throughout the platform. This will help you in learning from their mistakes and working on the strengths.

Nairaland / General / Four Types Of Tools Every Business Should Have by mohtan: 4:14pm On Jun 07, 2020
Softwares are there to help and avoiding their use is not a very smart decision. They help us make management easy and get things done faster. Even if not for your personal use, you should at least not compromise the integrity of your business by doing everything manually. Here I have shared four types of useful tools every business, big or small, should have.

Task Management Tool

Task management tools, as you can judge by name, help you manage all minor to major operations. It shows what projects are pending, what you or your team member are working on, and ones you have completed successfully. For example, Trello and Microsoft Team are some of the most popular tools for this job. I would suggest the use of Google Sheets if you are looking for something flexible and free.

SMS Marketing Software

An SMS marketing program is not only cost-effective but also useful. It allows you to reach out to people on mobile phones and manage all contacts. Many businesses, especially ones targeting local audiences, use text message marketing to keep their potential and existing customers up to date about their latest products, offers, and discounts.

Employee and Record Management

While it’s not a bad idea to use Excel or Google Sheets to store employee records, it’s not efficient and there are many limitations. You can only add a short amount of information and in an unfriendly interface. You can create writer’s profiles, but you will have to connect MS Access with Excel and be very good at using them. It’s easier to get software that also allows you to keep track of the performance of each employee.

Accounting Software

Most companies only buy accounting software when they have a professional accountant working in the office. I believe it’s more needed when you don’t have a professional for this job. Numbers can be very confusing and it’s important to keep track of return on each investment. You should know where your money is going and where it’s coming from. A company doesn’t survive for long when its leader doesn’t have control of its finances.
Nairaland / General / Why Should You Use A Pen Name To Highlight Pressing Issues? by mohtan: 4:03pm On Apr 03, 2020

Despite all the technological marvels that humanity has achieved, we are still living in a world where tolerance, morals, empathy, and compassion are reduced to mere words. What makes it all even hopeless and disappointing is seeing people choosing silence over the pressing moral dilemmas of the modern world.

Why Is It So?

People who can bring a change by talking and writing about these issues often choose to turn a blind eye because they are afraid of being vulnerable. They think that expressing their raw thoughts in such an intolerant society can put them and their families in danger. Indeed, it is a very justified and wise thing to think about. One should never put the safety of their loved ones at stake.

Is There Any Other Way?

Yes, there is, and it is easier than you think it is. You can call it Nom de plume, Pseudonym, Pen name, or John Doe. A pen name can help you write your heart out about the issues that you think must be discussed. You can generate a discourse that can evolve into a solution to someone’s misery.
Here are some important reasons that make using a pen name critical in modern society:

A Complete Sense of Freedom

Nothing is more empowering than the freedom to write whatever you want to write. Sadly, almost all media platforms are biased in one way or another, and you don’t get to express your unbiased versions of the story. Choosing a pen name and an anonymous platform is the ultimate way to enjoy your freedom as a writer.

Ability to Be Vulnerable

A writer who is not allowed to be vulnerable in front of his reader is like a bird in a golden cage. You can break the cage by choosing a platform that helps you to be your true self without revealing your identity.

The Taste of Anonymity

Once you can pen-down your pure and raw thoughts without any fear of backlash from society, you start to understand the perks of anonymity.
So, if you haven’t made your mind to pick a pen name and start writing to make the world a better place, then do it now.

Business / How A Charging Station Can Make Gatherings Easy For Your by mohtan: 6:58am On Jan 28, 2020
You wouldn’t want to end up in a situation where people run out of mobile charging and blame you for that. You can arrange an event for as many people as you want, host late-night parties, and even call urgent meetings; people won’t have an issue as long as you can provide suitable arrangements to charge their phones.

Believe me when I say a cell phone charging station is a must-have if you are gathering more than four people at someplace. Be it your house or be it any place else, if you are having a reasonable gathering, you are never going to have enough charging ports for all of them.
There’s always going to be a bunch of people that are only worried about charging their devices. You cannot have their attention as long as you don’t provide them with what they need. Therefore, getting rid of this problem once in for all is a wise choice so that neither you nor your guests feel uncomfortable.

You might think you don’t need it because people usually have their phones charged. That’s not true, and people get anxious when their phones and other devices are dying. You can’t afford an anxious audience if you have arranged something which requires their full attention.
Therefore, you need to have a phone charging station both at the events you might arrange and at your workplace. It will help you to gain more audience if you’ve arranged something in a public place.

Nairaland / General / How To Bring Your Pet To Turkey? by mohtan: 1:44pm On Dec 02, 2019
You want to go to Turkey but no way to leave your pet on the tarmac? Here is some information that may be useful beforehand.
First of all, beware that you will not be able to travel with more than two companions per person. Beyond this limit, any transport takes commercial value in the eyes of Turkey and you will, therefore, have to submit to more draconian rules than those which we will enunciate below.
In recent years, Turkey has adopted most of the European Union's animal health rules; also any animal to be accepted must:

1. Have a look at the vet before the big departure:

First, the animal must have been checked by a veterinarian less than 96 hours before leaving for Turkish territory. The latter must have certified by a written document that the animal is in good health and does not carry any contagious disease or any infectious germ. This document will be requested upon arrival at the airport, port or border.
Regarding dogs, any canine must be up to date in his vaccines against hepatitis, leptospirosis, canine parvovirus, distemper, and rabies of course. The anti-rabies treatment must have been given to him at least one month before the trip besides if you are travelling to Turkey in winter, don't forget to bring dog outfits, clothes, sweaters, collars, or any helpful dog accessories, since the winter could be a bit harsh for your fragile home dog there.
Cats traveling to Turkey must be more than four months old and must be vaccinated against viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, panleukopenia, and rabies (same condition as dogs for the last booster).

2. Have the right documents:

Your pet is perfectly healthy and healthy, you now need documents to be able to identify him. Because even if Turkey does not yet ask for ID to travel, some papers are still necessary to pass customs and veterinary control. Among them: the photocopy of the passport of the owner of the animal, the certificate of vaccination and the health certificate issued by the veterinarian (see point above). Without this, it is the quarantine area insured for your pet.
PLUS: If you have a European passport, you are advised to take it to simplify your arrival. Finally, even if the Turkish administration does not insist on this point, it is recommended that any animal traveling across the borders can be identified thanks to an ISO chip (compulsory since 2011 for all trips across the European Union). Some animal transporters do not tolerate animals without this one.
Now if your pet is traveling without you, you will also need an import permit - which can only be issued by the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. Without this, he will be refused.
3. Have the right to travel:

You have gathered all these documents, you are ready to fly with your quadruped in the luggage, be careful, make sure that your animal is tolerated on Turkish territory. Indeed, Turkey does not tolerate so-called "dangerous" dogs, ie Pitbulls, and tosas for example. If this is not your case, take the time to contact your travel company to make sure you make arrangements (the purchase of a mandatory cage or not).
You are now ready to reach Turkey and the customs post. Ultimate test (sometimes very long) before enjoying the country. In this regard, plan cash as a sum may be required when passing your pet.
4. To be able to return to France (or to another country of the European Union except for Ireland, Great Britain):

To return home with your pet, the papers and conditions stated above are sufficient.
Now if you want to bring back a dog, cat or ferret bought on the spot, make sure to fulfill the criteria stated above as well as those specific to the European Union, namely:
- Three months before the return, have a serum titration of your animal's anti-rabies antibodies done in an approved laboratory (list of laboratories).
- The animal must be chipped or tattooed and accompanied by a health certificate issued by an official Turkish veterinarian.
Without these conditions, remember that bringing an animal back to Europe is an offense punishable by three years' imprisonment and a fine. The animal will be returned to his country of origin, at the expense of the owner, or he will be quarantined or euthanized.
