Business › Google Ads Specialist Shares Important Insights On Ads Scaling by ojasweb(op): 9:27am On Jul 15, 2023

When you scale your ads, basically you put more money to push your offers to more people.

Of course, scaling can be done using multiple strategies and tactics that can help you get more results from your ads.

However, in reality, it doesn't mean that you'll get more results at a cheaper rate. In fact, you'll most likely get more results at a slightly higher CPA, profitably.

It is possible for you to think that you're getting more results at a cheaper CPA if you pay more attention on the compounded profits without looking deeper at the actual CPA.

One thing is certain when you scale your ads. Your offers will probably be reaching more cold audiences than your regular ads.

Even when you don't change your audiences, the granularity of the targeting becomes less strict with the availability of more budget.

Additionally, the frequency at which your ads show to users will likely increase except you have implemented a frequency cap.

If you observe these two conditions; REACHING MORE COLD AUDIENCES and INCREASE IN ADS SERVING FREQUENCY PER USER, you'll expect a more expensive CPA even if the end result is profitable.

However, if you scale your ad and you're getting more result at a cheaper CPA, it is probably because your initial budget is not sufficient to deliver your ads efficiently to your target audience.

Education › Re: Naira Devaluation: Nigerian Students Face Tough Times In UK,Tuition Soars By 60% by ojasweb(m): 8:37pm On Jul 12, 2023

APC2:
Mumu, read before typing. The exchange rate has increased and made it difficult for many students to afford school fees in dollars. Nobody is talking about subsidy. GTB is currently selling dollars at 800 naira. A dollar that was 480 at bank rate before Tinubu come to Power.

You don't understand his point enough.

We have to tell ourselves the truth sometimes. Government floating the currency and letting the market force determine the rate is not a bad decision.

Let's look at it this way.

Majority of these people outside of Nigeria don't have the plan of coming back after their study, yet they are the major consumer of the forex. Why should the government be pumping out forex to defend the Naira when it is majorly being exhausted by the Nigerians in diaspora that are not willing to come back home even after using the country's resources to fund their education abroad, benefiting the host country?

Now, many people will develop some patriotic trait by investing their money in Nigeria.

A wrong move indeed.

I am just smiling at the numerous replies saying very good move, long overdue, etc.

Even in the Western countries they are copying, the women don't divorce and remain single.

Most of them divorce and remarried multiple times. I hope they won't push her into her own major regret.

They should investigate her properly. I think she's not capable of such, someone somewhere is behind all these unknown to her. Her parents and older siblings should be arrested for questioning

She's capable of doing it.

I have had first hand experiences with these young students. They contact me in numbers to ask for their results to be upgraded, and whenever i tell them to stay away from such fake promises, they resort to insulting. Many of them are even below 18.

Here's a link to the article i published about this issue of result upgrading over a year ago.

Only him with three wives.

But it seems only African men marry plenty women, you will hardly see European or American man doing this, I'm not even sure.

But you will frequently see American and European with 3 - 5 babymamas. Married to one wife which is probably number 5 and waiting to divorce so that he could get married to number 6 woman.
You want Africans to be that unstable?

Politics › Re: Banks, Telcoms, Oil Firms To Lose 2% Revenue For Data Breach – FG by ojasweb(m): 10:34am On Jun 20, 2023

ivolt:
This is a myopic move all in the name of revenue.
No organization is 100% protected against data breach, not even the government itself.

Affected organization will now choose to deny and hide any attack from the public to avoid paying fines.
The right thing to do is to provide framework for data security and fine any organization which refuses
to follow the rules as obtained in other countries.
Also, they should let affected individuals sue the companies instead of the government cornering the
compensation meant for the victims as usual.

Mention the countries that does according to your suggestion and maybe with the source. And also, prove to us that Nigeria does not have a framework for the companies.

The government is not entirely responsible for telling the citizens how and when to take legal actions against data breach. Most of the citizens are even lazy to read about the laws that are protecting them.

In the western countries, the government fine companies, yet it doesn't stop the individuals from filling a case against the same companies.

If you as a citizen see a breach in your data, you can still file a case irrespective of whether the government has fined them or not.

Hello bro, I have an ecommerce site with the price of items between $3.5 - $6 (digital downloads). Can I still make profit with Google ads? Would they charge me as though I were selling stuff worth a thousand dolls?

Yes you can make profit depending on how the offer is presented and the ad creative.

YouTube ads might be the best for this.

I intend to Manage myself, I will have a room in the Hotel.

I will employ a Manager and an Accountant but I will make sure I oversee their activities as seriously as possible.

And for Location, I intend to do a very thorough feasibility study on this.

I will also cooperate well with the Police and local security in the Location.

Seems we both share the same interest.

I have been doing some research about hotel business and i hope to venture into hospitality in full.

Do you also think having it situated behind the road is a good choice?
I feel I should start working on Location now but I think I should wait till I have at least 20m savings. I just dey pray make God help me

Well said.
I have never been convinced by their sweet talk before.

Before an average Nigerian will decide to teach you a money making skill for free or for a fee, best believe that the main reason he's doing that is because he's not making as much money as he would want.

You're right to some extent, but not in all cases.

Here on Nairaland between 2015 - 2017, i was teaching people how to make money on Fiverr.
I was teaching them for free and i was making between $2000 - $3000 per month on Fiverr.

Here's the link to one of the threads >>> https://www.nairaland.com/2947212/exclusive-how-make-level-2

It is not always true that Nigerians won't teach you what is making them money. Still on this Nairaland i got many people sharing testimonies about how the information i provided helped them.

There are people with values and integrity.

When i announced whether i should make a birthday offer for my training courses on Facebook, people didn't allow me rest until i made it live for them, and within just 48 hours i sold 700k.

But still, i have personally seen a lot of people selling garbage in the name of training.

Sincere apologies for the late response.
If you choose Naira, you will need an approved agency with consolidated billing to help you pay. It will be worth it if you find one.
However, if you have to pay by yourself, you need to choose USD.

lekeshoow:
Hello my great specialis, i must commend the good job you are doing here for your fellow country men, kudos to you sir.
Please which currency would you suggest i choose, usd or naira while filling the google ads manager billing info, i'm in Nigeria. Naira cards has been failing on international payment in recent times, so I'm just sceptical if I should wait till my gtb dollar card is ready or proceed with the naira gtb card i have.

My house is almost same as yours I think both in sharp and size . thank you sir.

I’ve just completed the roofing ,
Everything cost me around 3.3m plus or minus .

I spent 840k for woods ( ayin ), nails, chemical for spraying , knapsack , transportation and workmanship ..
I spent 1.9m naira for 390 sqm of stone coated black Milano plus accessories, transportation and workmanship
I spent 460k for the parapet and workmanship ( these guys did a great job ) .

While the roofing was going on , I felt like I wasted money ( spent around 3.3m to roof 3bedroom ( two sitting room) flat). I Thought I shoulda added small change and buy correct lexus ..
But when it completed omo I’m really really satisfied .. as in I love it so so much . So beautiful .

Another downside is that the area is not yet developed to what I’m used to and it looks odd, bush bush everywhere ., but I don do am I don do am. Tbh na force dem force me o grin grin

If you don't encounter serious dry spell on freelance platforms, you won't know how it feels and what it cost to acquire clients.

While you're getting steady inflow of orders on platforms like Fiverr and Upwork, do everything possible that can help you to acquire clients outside of those freelance websites.

This "very" cheap advice is coming to you from my own personal experiences. And i am sharing it with you wholeheartedly!

I didn't drag girlfriend with Fiverr CEO when they decided to stop me from getting orders.

And yes, they did.
I moved from TOP to BOTTOM on Fiverr

The only issue that crumbled my orders inflow in 2017 was my declination of cancellation from a novice buyer who doesn't understand how Fiverr works.

However, since Fiverr favour buyers more, i got hit hard and that single issue marked the beginning of dry spell for me on Fiverr.

It can happen to anyone.

Some people become former freelancer because of similar issue.

Not that they have other things that are earning them more money, but because they couldn't bounce back after being hit so hard.

It is a very sorry situation. How i wish they can see this post.

You may be doing so well on those sites today. I hope you'll continue to do well for so long.

Nevertheless, if you have the resources needed to build yourself outside those sites, do not ignore it.

My personal experiences have led me to discover a lot of things about freelancing online, and that is why i decided to create a new course that reveal my exact strategy for acquiring clients without depending on freelance websites.

The course will not be available to everyone, but if you want to gain access, stay turned to this page.

Cheers!
