This naijatech dude you have a penchant for posting exaggerated figments of your tiny little twisted fantasy.


Having all those numbers just don't give you cash...there are alot of other variables involved.

I'm sure it was you that posted that story about cr7 getting paid per picture on instagram. Anyway, in Nigeria they'll believe anything .

Didn't you read the part where I asked people to contact brands.. . You're living in your own world of fantasies.

Surprisingly I dont think I was debited and later they said I'm owing debts and I credited my zenith bank account and tried to updat the payment but it just hasn't worked anymore. I've tried even my diamond and uba bank still same end product. What can I do or what can you help me do please?

I recommend using a GTB card. It's the best for online transactions. Then disconnect your current account from the ads

most users won't like it but the company has to do what it can to be alive.

A disgruntled user base is the last thing Facebook wants. But they're heading in that direction slowly.

This had always been cooking in the kitchen, they did the test running with the messenger story thing.

So expect it soon, I just pray it's cheaper to advertise on Messenger than any other Facebook product.

I never really liked the idea of advertisements on messenger

Perhaps you and I may open Facebook one day and half the screen is covered with ads.

Facebook is working on adding advertisements on its standalone messenger app. As you know, there are already quite a lot of ads on Facebook. So it's quite unsurprising to see Facebook want to place ads on Messenger

These Ads will be displayed in the home screen of Messenger, where you can see your most recent chats. The ads will be placed in a way that it matches the U.I of messenger but the space the ads will take up is definitely not going to be unnoticed.

This feature will be rolled out globally within a couple of weeks. It might also take up to a year as well for the feature to be available globally.


I must say that the idea of ads on messenger is really going to be annoying. I certainly hope they don't decide to add ads to Whatsapp. What do you think?

majekdom2:
it is, tho he is a smart guy. You really can't sign in to most apps without the facebook account. Thats a good one if you ask me

yeah.. The expansion begins.. Just imagining when you won't be able to travel without a Facebook account

Cool.

But, zuckerberg loves to dominate anything social media

Cus Facebook is already fading off

The story of Whatsapp founders is very inspiring and intriguing and it is one every programmer needs to know. Whatsapp founders, Jan Koum and Brian Acton were colleagues at Yahoo, and their experience in Yahoo made WhatsApp one of the most popular and used messaging app.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WPmUz95OLNw/WU-xu5GkKDI/AAAAAAAAJeA/IC2ZjKU92Xko_GQWvcfjkw96JJMIe4inQCHMYCw/s640/%255BUNSET%255D.jpg


The pitfall of Yahoo as a result of advertising was a lesson Koum and Acton learned and they imbibed the philosophy that ADVERTISING SUCKS for their company. Jan Koum interest was that their Whatsapp app will know little about the user, the system was designed so you won’t need to submit your name, gender or nationality. With no advertising and marketing, their company, Whatsapp Inc grew organically.


JAN KOUM’S SHORT BIOGRAPHY.



Jan Koum was born as the only child to his Jewish parents in Ukraine in 1976. His household was without no running water nor hot water to take a warm bath in the freezing cold. He best described his life in Fastiv, the hometown he grew up as,

"It was so run-down that our school didn't even have an inside bathroom. Imagine the Ukrainian winter, -20°C, where little kids have to stroll across the parking lot to use the bathroom. Society was extremely closed off: you can read 1984, but living there was experiencing it."


At that period Ukraine was a communist, political and anti-Semitic country in the Soviet Union. Jan Koum described his society and I quote him,

“I grew up in a society where everything you did was eavesdropped on, recorded, and snitched on. Nobody should have the right to eavesdrop, or you become a totalitarian state – the kind of state I escaped as a kid to come to this country where you have democracy and freedom of speech. Our goal is to protect it."


In 1992, Jan Koum with his mother and grandmother migrated to California, the United States leaving behind his father. They lived in a small 2-bedroom apartment at the Mountain view, California. Koum assisted financially by sweeping the floor of a grocery store while his mom took up a babysitting job, yet they still lived on government support and food stamps.


Jan Koum lost his mom to cancer when he was 24, and his dad died in Ukraine in 1997. At high school, he was not that good in math and computer science, but at the age of 18, he got interested in computer and network programming. He taught himself by reading books he rented from a local used book store and then returning them when he was through with them.


Jan Koum then attended San Jose State University and worked as a security tester at Ernst & Young to help pay his tuition fees. Soon enough, while working as a security tester, Jan Koum met Brian Acton(co-founder of Whatsapp) and in 1997, Koum got a job as an infrastructure engineer at Yahoo while still attending San Jose State University.



One day Jan Koum was in class when David Filo, Yahoo co-founder called him requesting him to come to work immediately because they had server issues. This incident eventually led Koum to quit his college education, He even admitted that he hated school.


Koum joined woowoo, a group of hackers that focused on security. He even called on the group to help him when a Canadian teen launched a cyber attack on Yahoo. Brian Acton also experienced a financial setback in Yahoo as he lost millions of dollars in the dotcom boom era of 2000.


THE STORY OF WHATSAPP.



Koum and Acton continued working at Yahoo for nine years and then quitted their jobs in 2007 to explore a new adventure in the ever changing world of the social media. So they both applied for a job at Facebook and Twitter after taking a break in South America, but they were both rejected. Brian Acton tweeted about the ordeal. His tweets were,

“Got denied by Twitter HQ. That's ok. Would have been a long commute.”


”Facebook turned me down. It was a great opportunity to connect with some fantastic people. Looking forward to life's next adventure.”


https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jFRjzTgBmHA/WU-xvTvaQ1I/AAAAAAAAJeE/sgjD1jyqax4I1Jr2UO2CFDl4rKp1Z7YPwCHMYCw/s640/%255BUNSET%255D.jpg

While they were still jobless and living on their savings from Yahoo, Jan Koum bought an iPhone in January 2009 and realized that the old Apple App store of then offered a potential market for applications compatible with the iPhone. In Alex Fishman’s house, at his kitchen counter, while drinking tea, they brainstormed about Koum’s idea of an application.


First Koum wanted an app that people will set status updates on their mobile phones. The status update would show whether you were on a call, your battery status, or where you are to those that have your contact on their phone’s address. Koum also told his buddy Brian Acton about the idea and they incorporated their company and called it WhatsApp Inc in California on the 24th of February,2009, Koum’s birthday.


But Koum and Acton later made up their mind that they will build a messaging app and Koum called it WhatsApp because it sounded like “what’s up”. Koum painstaking wrote the backend code of his app and synchronized it with the international dialing prefixes so that anyone could join Whatsapp in any country of the world. Koum’s Russian Friend, Alex Fishman introduced him to Igor Solomennikov, an iPhone developer, to develop Whatsapp for iPhone.


Once the app was developed, Alex Fishman’s friends would use the app to update each other, send and reply messages and that’s how instant messaging started.

In June 2009, Apple launched push notification, enabling you to receive notification when you are not using an iPhone
app. Koum updated his app so you would have a notification when your friend changes his/her update.


In early 2010, Koum and Acton launched the WhatsApp messenger app. Although there were not many messengers during that time apart from the Blackberry’s BBM, Skype, Google G-Talk, Whatsapp messenger grew more popular and was different from other instant messaging app because anyone could log in with their phone number.


WHATSAPP'S CHALLENGES AND BREAKTHROUGHS


It was challenging to promote Whatsapp, it crashed several times that Jan Koum wanted to give up but his buddy, Acton encouraged him to keep trying. Whatsapp shared office space with Evernote and their employees had to bring along their blankets to work in order not to get cold. With the help of funding from their ex-yahoo colleagues, WhatsApp active users grew to 250,000.


Koum and Acton received tons of emails from individuals requesting WhatsApp to be launched on Nokia and Blackberry platforms. Koum hired Chris Peiffer to develop the BlackBerry version of WhatsApp. Jan Koum and Brian Acton worked for the first few years for free and the cost of sending their verification message was a burden and to reduce the rapid growth rate of Whatsapp, Koum and Acton made users to pay for the instant messaging service, but that didn’t stop the progress of the growth of their user base.


Whatsapp went viral in 2013, its user base grew steadily up to 200million active users, and its staff to 50, Koum and Acton needed more funds. They held secret fundraising and with the money that came in they were able to double their staff and get a better office apartment.

Whatsapp popularity attracted the attention of Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook‘s founder who first contacted Koum in the spring of 2012. Zuckerberg and Koum had series of meetings to come to a deal for the acquisition of Whatsapp but it was not successful.


On the 9th of February, 2014, Koum had dinner at Zuckerberg’s home and Zuckerberg purposed a deal for Koum to join Facebook’s board and also presented an acquisition offer of Whatsapp. Koum thought of the offer and finally signed the paperwork for the Facebook acquisition of Whatsapp. Facebook acquired Whatsapp for 19 billion dollars. This deal made Jan Koum and Brian Acton the newest billionaires in the block.


The Whatsapp group celebrated the Facebook acquisition deal with bottles of Cristal champagne. In Barcelona, at a Mobile World Congress, Koum celebrated his 38th birthday with Acton at Boujis nightclub. Jan Koum, a billionaire now says he does not want to be known as an entrepreneur but prefers bringing better products to the market rather than accumulating money.


Jan Koum donated about 556 million dollars to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, he as also donated secretly to undisclosed individuals.

henryobinna:
I would only agree with that of YouTube to a certain degree because there's clear monetisation method for YouTube, but the rest...
you're totally wrong for so many reasons

Many reasons how... Explain

abdeiz:
So how does one get so many followers, can you drop some tips on that? naijatechguy

Create Viral Content, (Comedy, Inspirational Videos, News Report) and run ads on various social networks.

Jiang:
Too anybody thinking that you get paid just for having followers, dont let this op confuse you. It depends on the ads running on your channel, it depends on the partnership you signed up with and it depends on your niche.

so don't get dis idea like just having followers will bring dat much money otherwise the op would have already being rich using his ideas

I never said they're getting paid for the number of followers. It simply depends on the brands they work with and the statistics are just an estimate of what people with similar number of followers are earning averagely.

gidimasters:
Lol... Someone cannot book space again?

Lol... Not with that kind of confused emoji

cyberdurable:
theories without practical is rubbish. How do we earn it?

I said if you have many followers. You can simply email brands that you want to work with them. Google also pays youtubers. My brother you have access to the largest library on Earth - The Internet, make use of it wisely.

gidimasters:

what's the problem

Source - http://www.naijatechguy.com/2017/07/see-how-much-you-can-earn-on-social.html

A social media influencer is simply a responsible individual that can communicate with brands and their audience effectively. There are many opportunities for users to earn a lot of money online if they have a large number of followers on any social media platform and in this post I'm going to be looking at the average earnings on different social media platforms.


(The statistics below are estimated average earnings, the actual earnings may be higher or lower). So you actually don't have any excuse to say you're broke.

If you're looking for more money, YouTube is your best bet, you can earn an average of $125,000 if you have over a million subscribers. Now I'm already imagining how much Mark Angel Comedy is already making off their YouTube Channel.


If you have up to 7 million subscribers you can earn almost $300,000. Now imagine what your favorite artistes are probably earning.

Getting a million subscribers seems quite difficult but the minimum number of subscribers you can get before earning up to $25000 is a 100,000.

Next up after YouTube comes Facebook with $6,250 for a minimum of 100,000 followers and $187,500 for up to 7million Followers.


Then there's Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter. (P.S : Twitter closed Vine) check the infographic below for more details. Don't forget to share. Got any questions.. Use the comment box
