Obaseki500:
I have never been this confused in my entire life...

I have a girlfriend that we have been dating for 6 years now... We are not married because I was not stable financially but now things seems to be much better and next year should be the year....I reside in Ibadan so she came in last year after her education to get a job, she's a nurse and we were staying together up till now.

Sex has never been an issue between us up until December last year. We sleep on the same bed and we live in the same house but we have not had sex since December 2020 till date. She's right beside me as I type this message. Each time I go close to her, she tells me I am not entitled to sex because I have not paid her bride price. I just could not understand the sudden change in her attitude towards sex when wedding is next year.

She also locks her phone and even WhatsApp. Now, I am beginning to have doubt about marrying her.
She belongs to the streets. dump her asss

Another ignorant uneducated illiterate Nigerian youth!
Educate yourself first before coming here to expose your illiteracy.
Do you know what a CONSTITUTION means?
Go and find out and then come and correct the nonsense you spewed up there!

Nigerian youths will completely bury this country!
Hahahahah just logging into NL to see this piece of trash in my mention. Before i start. "Illiteracy means someone who cannot read or write" while "ignorance is someone who does not know". For someone to be educated they have to know the difference between Ignorant and Illiterate.

Since, you clearly do not know the difference, i have no desire to wallow in the gutter with you and educate you without fair compensation.

Lastly, while you're swimming in the quagmire of your ignorance, I have 3 i repeat "Three" degrees from Universities in the United States. I'm a guest lecturer at one of them. And i now have been working with several other on a consulting basis remotely earning an eye watering amount of money.

I'm pretty sure wherever you are in your poverty stricken state, you do not have 1% of my achievements.

When you're able to lift yourself and your family to a desirable status then get back to me and we can argue and debate. till then, chop Shyte.

BusinessHow To Build A Badass Brand Without The BS And Get Your Freedom With Pia Silva by Newdaddy7(op):
http://odogwu.com/piasilva/
https://bulletproofentrepreneur.com/


In today’s episode of The Bulletproof Entrepreneur, we chat with Pia Silva of Worstofall Design. Pia shares the story of how she and her partner went from $40,000 in debt to building a 6-figure business in under six months. Pia notes that when she and her partner started the business, they did everything “the right way.” They charged similarly to their competitors, approached business development and lead generation just like their peers and even hired personnel to achieve the look and feel of a “Big” firm.

Sadly, these tactics hurt their business. They were still losing money and lacked specificity in their actions because they catered to any client willing to sign a check. As a result, they were not nearly as successful they would have liked. It wasn’t until she and her partner sat down to thoroughly analyze their business and make tough decisions before they started to make progress and get traction.

After narrowing their focus and only specializing in working with a particular type of customer and offering a limited range of services, Pia and her partner were able to turn around their business from the brink of bankruptcy to profitability within six months. They not only became profitable but were able to create the more free time and generate more money while working less.

Pia notes that though the journey has had many ups and downs there’s nothing she enjoys more that working on her business and helping her clients succeed. She shared her personal and professional struggles, dealing with the impostor syndrome and advice for young entrepreneurs coming to grips with the challenges of building a new business.

In her new book “Badass Your Brand – The Impatient Entrepreneur’s Guide to Turning Expertise into Profit” she narrates the story of how she and her partner Steve were able to hit upon a winning formula for creating lasting business success and how they were able to apply these lessons to the benefit of their clients. We discuss a few of the strategies she relies on to help customers become Badass Brands and how any small business can tap into their inner Badassery. You will want to listen attentively and take notes because there’s a lot of subtle wisdom shared in this episode. Pia is a featured contributor on Forbes.com and a participant in the Entrepreneurs Organization accelerator.

Venzal:
MONDAY MORNING MOTIVATION

You can call this 'M raišed the power of 3' and you'll be right on point. wink

Well, I was compelled to do this, this morn.

This is especially for newbies.

Every difficult skill you try to learn in life, takes some time to get good at.

No one that I know of just hopped on a bicycle, bike or car and rode/drove it perfectly at the first time of asking. They learnt. They toiled. They fell. Yet they NEVER GAVE UP. For each time they fell (and prolly even bled), they got up dusted themselves and tried again until they became perfect or good enough.

If ever you try (or have tried) making money on Fiverr and things didn't work out well, there's no need to give up in despair.

Great things take time, so they say. But you can shorten that time that is needed to become great by being persistent and dedicated.

Remember the story of Olajumoke? She hated that job like mad, yet she turned up everyday! Imagine if she'd decided to sleep at home on that fateful day because "I'm tired of this damn thing - it isn't working".

So it is. Go online everyday even if you're not getting orders yet. Use the buyer's request page. And have a positive mindset always.

Action Taking sets you on the path of success, but only persistence and focus brings the result in.

I know a mentor created a gig and had no sale for 1 month (even back then when Fiverr was not as saturated as it is today). He went back re-evaluated himself and within 3 months became a TOP RATED SELLER on Fiverr. You can download this report to learn his 5-step formula for Fiverr success ==> http://onlinecashwindfall.com/TopRatedSellerFormula.pdf

You've got what it takes to shine, But will you? That is up to you!

I wish you a fruitful and blessed week ahead.
Like the OP said you can't just do the usual naija copy and paste "email marketing gig" and read the pdf's and write "pro" on your profile and not get caught up and exposed as a fraud if you dont have the necessary skill. Writing requires skill. You gain mastery by habitual repetition and practice. If you're going to do sales and marketing , digital marketing , copywriting , email marketing research the best and learn from them. learn about buyer psychology, learn about emotional triggers, learn about the science of persuasion. People like Clayton Makepeace etc who write one sales letter get paid $300K and up. Why ? because of the aforementioned factors. I'm happy to see people jump on Venzal's posting and emulate his work. But it should end at emulation. Make it your own and you will be golden. I write on Fiverr also in 2 niches. I'm now on retainer as a marketing consultant with my 2 biggest clients on a monthly basis. Less hassle, more money and i have time to do other stuff. FIverr should be your spring board. not your end goal. DOnt get in the trap of the race to the bottom in terms of pricing.

Jobs/VacanciesHow To Find A Job In Nigeria by Newdaddy7(op): 9:07pm On Jun 21, 2016
Recently, the Nigerian newspapers and blogs carried the story of a young Ph.D. student who took to the streets of Port Harcourt with a placard outlining her academic achievements in an attempt to beg for a job as a lecturer in a university, or any other tertiary institution
(Footnote A). This act was perceived as a novel “idea,” at least in Nigeria, and as such it received media attention and was immediately replicated by numerous people across the Nation.

In fact, one lucky copycat was able to gain the attention of the Vice President Of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, as well as Tony Elumelu, the
billionaire benefactor of the Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Program.She held meetings with both men, but as of June 20th, nothing has come of this publicity Footnote B).

So, if the copycat got a meeting with such prominent people, then whatever happened to the “pioneer” of this new trend you ask? Well, upon seeing the media frenzy and attention given to the copycat, our pioneer became outraged. She was so incensed that she did not get the same level of recognition from the VP and Mr. Tony E, despite being the “first to do it.” And of course, as some of us are guilty of doing, she laid the blame on her lack of fame on the ever-present doorstep of tribalism. Yes, she complained that it was because of some "tribal bias" that she was not picked to meet with Tony E, and the VP.

I empathize with the young lady concerning her current predicament. Being jobless can be frustrating when you’re able and willing to work, but can’t get a job due to external factors beyond your control. In such cases, it is incumbent on the job seeker to take
drastic actions required to turn around a desperate situation.

However, looking at the issue from an objective point of view there are many parts of her pitch lacked the sophistication I would expect from
a doctoral candidate. Here are some of the critical issues I've identified in her pitch, and my suggestions for addressing them. I
hope these tips will help others in the same situation who are looking to stand out in their job search.

1) Lack Of Clarity:
Her placard was a hodgepodge, shotgun approach to achieving her goal.It was not clear, succinct and to the point. It just stated a few facts and features. Yes, having degrees are nice, but there are millions of people with the same credentials. Why should anyone pick her and not some other person? She should have done a better job being concise about her background and highlighted the keywords that are immediately
recognizable to professionals in the industry.

She should have approached this like a sniper trying to take out a target from over 1000 yards with only one shot. The information should have focused on a particular job that matched her current skills and abilities.

2) Lack Of Specificity:
Ok, she wants a teaching job, but does she have teaching experience? What has she done to prove she has the temperament, poise, and skill
required of a teacher. What exactly does she want to teach? Where has she lectured in the past? You see, this open-ended request raises more questions than answers.

3) Lack Of Track Record
A quick look for her on LinkedIn shows that she has not registered on the social network of choice for professionals. How would anyone
verify her ability? More importantly, how would anyone be able to see Her track record of excellence if they come across the same article that featured her in the future?

In this day and age, she should have tried several things to position herself online as a preeminent Ph.D. student in the psychology department. For example, she could have documented a history of her organizing free public lectures on mental health. Perhaps she could have directed us to her psychology blog, and introduced us to various issues ranging from the potential mental illnesses that occur as a result of being jobless in Nigeria to the seven coping mechanisms for dealing with stress in the workplace.

She may have also put herself out there even more by offering free psychology evaluations for job seekers, interpersonal coaching, etc. I could go on and on, but I think you get the point.


4) Lack Of Marketing/Sales Ability:
Most graduates seem to take for granted the tremendous marketing skill required to stand out in a competitive environment. Here she is
selling her one and only product, herself. The entire placard is all about her and her issues. It fails to indicate what she brings to the
table and why she’ll be an asset to an organization.

People are selfish by nature. The preeminent interest is self-interest. Employers do not care about your personal issues. Therefore,
trying to use a sad story to get hired for a job is a waste of time.

The world does not owe you anything. No one owes anyone anything, particularly in our highly competitive job market. In such a challenging economic environment, companies, schools, and non-governmental organizations are dealing with a lot of issues. It is also apparent that these issues won't be easy to solve with conventional solutions. If only she had focused on how she can help the employer as opposed to focusing on HERSELF, HER PROBLEMS, AND HER NEEDS, the results, and the responses would have been dramatically better.

5) Lack Of Expert Positioning (PERSONAL BRANDING)
In this case study, we do not see her positioned as an expert or rising star in the field. She positioned herself as a typical job seeker "begging" for a job to meet her personal obligations. The better way to go about it, given the massive free publicity she generated, would have been to position herself as a highly desirable candidate that just happens to be on the market for a short span of time.

Thereby stimulating and tantalizing the proverbial "greed glands" of her potential employers. Turn the tables around. Let them fall on themselves to interview her or give her a job. For example, if you drive to the US Embassy in any country, especially Nigeria, you will see long lines of people queuing patiently under the sun or in the rain, for the chance of getting a visa to go to America. Whether their documents are works of fiction or not, there is eternal hope living in those long lines.

People are glad to pay the nonrefundable visa fee over and over again, even if they are rejected, just for that long shot of beating the odds. Why? It’s because of positioning. The USA (thanks to Hollywood and the Media) has positioned and marketed itself to the point that even if reality does not match expectations, there will always be long lines of eager applicants willing to take the chance and try again. Compare that to the lines at the Nigerian Embassy in Washington D.C. or NYC. The difference is telling.

6) So, What If You Did It First?
The story above noted that the pioneer of the "placard marketing campaign" felt slighted because although she was the first to hold a sign, she did not receive the same attention as the fast follower(Footnote C). My rebuttal is, so what if you're first? Pioneer status does not equate to being the best.

Many pioneers have been soundly defeated despite their “first to market” status. Look at Google! Google was late to the search engine
market by all accounts. There was Altavista, Lycos, Yahoo, MSN, Ask Jeeves, and a whole host of other players who have since crashed and burned along the way. But, today Google has a market cap of $475 billion while the pioneer of it all, Yahoo, is on life support and practically selling itself piecemeal to any bidder.

Unfortunately, pioneers will always be at the mercy of fast followers, unless, the pioneer moves quickly and innovates at a
rapid pace that leaves all other copycats in the dust. Such is the case with Uber and Airbnb. Both are pioneering companies with a lot of copycats, but they still retain their dominant market leading positions because they’re willing to take the time to study their environment/market and innovate aggressively.

In conclusion, I would like to say that while I commend our placard pioneer for her guts in taking action and putting herself out there. I would advise that she apply her zeal and creativity to mastering how to sell herself better by learning copywriting or direct marketing. She can gain some related experience by either hosting free counseling sessions, freelancing on the internet as a psychology teacher, or even becoming an editor of psychology journals and publications, thereby creating an online presence for herself.

As I stated earlier, my goal is not to bash anyone for taking the necessary drastic actions required to change your situation for the better. I applaud action takers and doers. I only want to ensure that such relentless effort is backed up by a solid strategy.
