Has anybody who applied for the innovative music distribution under gem project gotten an email for induction?

Closing date extended to 9th September, 2016.

There isn't induction for this one. They are going to evaluate the business plans submitted. Successful candidates will then be visited for inspection and then final awardees will be selected based on the outcome of the visits.

Did you apply?

Drabrah:
Pl, how does one get active and functional email list?

You build it using aweber, getresponse and others

corjiakor:

Have you seen a business that has no secret, even politics has secrets?

I know what I'm saying when I say there's really no secret! The point I'm trying to pass across is that people looking for secret strategies already have more than enough strategies on how to make money online. There problem is sitting down to actually implement what they know.

Those who are newbies should seek proper knowledge!

corjiakor:

To make it online is not that easy, many are just claiming while few that are making it will not reveal the secret.

Is there any secret? The problem is that most people who want to make money online think making money online is just about clicking a magic button and when they join an opportunity and discover they need to work to earn, they back out claiming it doesn't work.


There's no secret. Just get the right education and work things out. You'll make it.

Student125:
Nice one but I have one problem with some online client, they cannot be trusted. how can one deal with that?

Do a scam test on whoever it is you want to deal with online thus:

person or program + scam

Search that on Google

Or Program reviews on Google as well

Explained it on my blog:

Good points.

But unfortunately these are not the type of things Nigerians are interested in. Like easy and quick money like MMM Nigeria. But I have a warning from SEC for them:

A friend of mine posted this on facebook:

To all my friends that have been brainwashed into investing into MMM, the Federal Government is warning you to run for your life...

fatiaforreal:
You guys should pls move the induction matter to the appropriate thread.
Any contact with monitors pls?

Yeah. I think it would be betteer for the induction guys to open a separate thread. That way you're discussions will be more relevant.
The guys here didn't go through induction before they got their grant.

And I've come to understand that the induction matter is diffeerent from the Innovative Online Distribution of Music I was talking about.

This GEM have grants in categories. The next one I believe is going to be institutional grants. Watch out!

I wish all who applied for the Innovative Online Distribution of Music good success.

neksummi:

They didn't quite specify. If you can come with a proposal that shows them you have the capacity to distribute music online, you could scale through irrespective of what sector you're into.
But I feel some sectors may not just fit in. You cannot be in Agricultural sector or construction and you say your company wants to distribute music online.

I've answered this question in the past!

Two days to go. Anybody applying for this?

Onyioguz:
I was selected too ...
Have you received any email for the induction?

Is this about the innovative online music distribution? If so, let's discus on the thread below and allow awardees here to discus business and tranche payment.

belovedaja:
I don't understand is it for only business in music industry.

They didn't quite specify. If you can come with a proposal that shows them you have the capacity to distribute music online, you could scale through irrespective of what sector you're into.

But I feel some sectors may not just fit in. You cannot be in Agricultural sector or construction and you say your company wants to distribute music online.

darexkey:
The portal is not working fine. Showing an error 'CANNOT ACCESS PAGE 1' when you try to move to the next page after completing your profile info. Is there any solution to this?

Have you resolved your issue? The site is working fine. I worked on my application yesterday and I had no problem.

23 days to go

25 days to go!

Do I have a witness?

Another opportunity is open at GEM Project:
www.nairaland.com/3231051/good-news-govt-grant-opportunity
Beneficiaries here can encourage people to apply.
Have a lovely Sunday.

The Growth and Employment (GEM) Project run on the Business Innovation and Growth (BIG) platform is most likely the government programme that has replaced the YouWiN programme of the last administration. Though the GEM project has been around since 2013, it just came into limelight last year and it appears this government is using it in place of YouWiN. So you’ll want to take this post seriously. Who knows you may become one of the next set of awardees of business grant.

In December last year (2015) I recived an email from YouWiN inviting me to participate in the GEM Project grant window. All I needed do was to indicate interest to participate as my business plan (submitted during YouWiN) was already with them ready for evaluation.

Fast forward to February 2016, I was notified of my non selection. Those who were successful have since starting receiving their first tranche payment. You may wish to verify here and those in the house who are beneficiaries can comment below to bear me witness.

Two days ago, I decided to go take a look at the BIG portal and I discovered there was an announcement on 12th July, 2016 calling FOR PROPOSALS FOR INNOVATIVE ONLINE DISTRIBUTION OF MUSIC UNDER THE INNOVATION GRANTS WINDOW.

Eligibility: Nigerians 18 years and above with businesses running in Nigeria.
Closing Date: 12th August, 2016.

Congrats. Wish you God's guidance as you utilize the fund.

And which one are our banks supposed to use? I was charged N304.95 to a dollar by Access Bank for a payment I made today!

fatiaforreal:
The passivity on this thread alarming.
Are we not happy about it? Then try a Microfinance bank for a loan N300,000 and see what you will go through before and if you eventually get it.
The whole validation and agreement took hours. It was stressful and happy day.

True talk. Hope everyone got back home safely. All the best.
