wisewordd: You can actually outsource. I know of my guys who freelance, they get the job and outsource it for a lesser amount. Indie publishers who have never written a book. Search for emeka ossai on youtube |

Writercruze: There are Very few jobs that can pay 400k a month, but with the Internet, 400k is achievable. No need to go into crime just take advantage of videos on youtube to horn ur skill and people will demand for it. I moved from 16k a month to between 300k to 400k every month. Don't wait for things to happen, it's a rat race in this country and to survive you must think differently. The millions is in your laptop connected to the Internet. Not yahoo yahoo o. Get Skills that white folks will be ready to pay for ur service. A friend of mine just 25 earns over 800k working on fiverr, upwork and he is also a self publisher on kdp. Please Nigerian youths, u only have one life, think outside the box and earn something decent, take advantage of the cyberspace. My 2cent. 3 Likes |

Passive because you can still earn money without actively working. Books i published in 2017 are still bringing in cash. That's making money while u sleep. generationz: |

generationz: Ofcourse. Spreading your reach is the name of the game. But you should have a core niche where you write with ease. Just in case you want to build a following. I write in over 4 niches with pen names. |

mayim:Just walk to where they change dollars, you will also find hausa men that buy and sell gold. You can buy the engagement ring separate from the wedding bands or get all together if u can afford it. Go for the one without much or huge stones as the weight determines the price. |

generationz: 1. Do you write your books yourself? Yes, I write my books. But if you can't write, you can outsource. A good book can go for as much as N25,000 for a 15k Word file on upwork.com. 2. like how many per month? When i started, i wrote up to 4 in a month. These days i am lazy, from January till March i have written six. I am presently writing my 7th for the year which by God's Grace i should conclude before mid-May. |

Events / How Much Did You Spend on Your Wedding? by obamartins(m): 4:59pm On Apr 23, 2019 |
I just stumbled on my marriage note where I wrote down all my expenses while I prepared for my marriage and decided to share. This topic is to guide those planning for their wedding on how much on the average they should budget for their marriage. Although the amount you will spend depends on what you want and the tribe/family you are marrying into. I actually budgeted N1,200,000 (1.2 million) but ended up spending close to 2million. I got married November 2018 to my beautiful esan girlfriend of 4 years. Here is the breakdown: Pre-wedding 1. Lab test for HIV, Genotype and pregnancy (as instructed by the church) - N5000 2. Transportation to take her to see my parents - N10,000 3. Ring 18 karat gold (engagement, and wedding rings) - N75,000 (from aboki) 4. Wedding certificate - N4000 5. Wedding seminar organized by my church - N4000 Federal Registry: 1. Affidavit for spinsterhood and bachelorhood-N2000 2. Main fee - N34,000 Traditional marriage 1. Drinks - N140,000 2. Yams - N40,000 3. Salt - N4,000 4. Bride price - N10,000 5. Make up - N20,000 6. Food - N200,000 7. Transportation - N20,000 8. Photograph - N6000 9. Canopy - N6000 10. Palmwine - N2000 11. Palm oil - N12,000 12. Native kola - N3000 13. Introduction - N12,000 (did introduction same day as traditional marriage) I love esan marriage, they don't put hole in one's pocket White Wedding 1. Drinks and food - N300,000 2. Reception hall - N105,000 (a Catholic church event hall) 3. Decoration - N50,000 4. DJ plus MC - N35,000 5. Guest house accommodation for my parents - N15,000 6. Souvenir 100 unit (Jotter, bag and notebooks) - N93,000 7. Photographer - N20,000 (soft copies) 8. Video coverage - (Hmmmm! Money no reach) 9. My wife's wedding gown - N35,000 (rent) 10. Me and my bestman's shirt and suit - N36,000 11. My wife's makeup and accessories - N50,000 12. Hotel room for after wedding panpangolo - N18,000 for 2 nites 13. My shoe - N2,000 (it's a long story) 14. Cake (4 steps) - N15,000 (my wife baked it if not e for pass that amount) 15. Transportation for my parents back home - N10,000 This are the little I could remember, I will update as soon as I get them. It was supposed to be a budget marriage but I spent close to N2,000,000 despite cutting off as much expenses as permitted. What was ur marriage budget? Did you stick to your budget or did some unforseen expenses prop up? Please share for the benefit of those planning theirs. 270 Likes 23 Shares |

yeah! i do train, but your determination to work hard will determine if i will continue to train you or not. If i am to train you, you will have to sacrifice your nights. It is important you do that to attain success. Note: I don't do fictions, non-fictions only. hawwal84: |
Investment / Re: What Guarantied Sure Businesses/Investments Are You Venturing Into This Year? by obamartins(m): 8:25pm On Feb 14, 2019 |
Grupo: There are tonnes of materials on youtube that will help you, just take your time. But a simple tip I will give you is this, don't write fiction, go for non fictions. Secondly look for books that are doing well in the non fiction niche and map your books using their table of content in the "look in" to write yours. Finally, avoid plagiarism by all means to avoid termination of account. Tools that will help you scale are (1) Kdprocket - this will help you in your research for titles that are converting (2) copyscape or plagiarismchecker - this will help you avoid plagiarism and (3) Grammarly - this will help you avoid grammatical and punctuation errors. Then watch all videos on keywords. With this, you will scale faster as a self publisher. It is great not depending on Nigeria's economy for your income. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Already publishing my books on Amazon and my audiobooks on audible and itune. Adding an author's blog to get those email list rolling. That should raise my sales to minimum $2,500 per month. What else can I say. I have control of my time and making good money from the comfort of my home. Will be investing up to N70,000 on an author's blog to keep my readers/fans. Finally, I will diversify by the second quarter of 2019 by pushing at least one million naira into treasury bills. What more can I say? 2018 was beautiful, 2019 is already making sense with so much prospects. 3 Likes |

Men! this life is funny until God opens your eyes to see the billions of dollars on the internet. I have done several crazy jobs and received peanuts called salary until I asked God for direction and He came to my rescue. I worked in a place where the owner of the company treated everyone like shit. I took the bold step to walk away in 2017 despite having nothing to fall back on. A couple of months ago he called as was Like "Can you please come back, I will increase your salary and pay you guys regularly. I asked him a simple question. Sir, can you pay me up to N500,000 a month? He was proposing N80,000 a month from 60k which he was paying but not regular. I told him, sir, you can't pay me. Today, I earn over N300,000 a month from the comfort of my home. I am not cut out for 8am - 5pm jobs God forbid. Folks no need to search for jobs, you can make it on the internet without defrauding anyone. All I do is write books and publish on Amazon. All the materials you need to write on any topic is on Youtube, stop the laziness and get your butts down to work. Serve no master. The problem with our so-called graduates is lack of research and laziness. They don't have the energy to research on what will put food on their table. I will never search for a job any day any time. Targeting N1,000,000 a month from book sales before June 2019. Will be spreading my tentacles to Amazon FBA very soon. By The end of 2019, i should average N5,000,000 per month by God's Grace. The millions is in your laptop connected to the internet. PS: Nobody should PM for any tutorial or guide. I won't respond. All you need is on youtube and the internet, Take your time say one month to research and you will be glad you did. Convert Youtube Videos into books and sell on Amazon. Final comment: Any computer scientist looking for a job in this era of ICT is a fool. Attached is my sales report for last month. 25 Likes 7 Shares
