sneakerblogger:
I wanted to start a blog about car which platform should I use either blogger or wordpress, also I want to ask this question how can I start a car blog in nigeria, pls I need every dime of ur advice, pls help me out,am so confused.

If we must say, you have chosen a very lucrative niche.

Diving not from your major question, Wordpress is your best bet. Talking of the flexibility and features, coupled with your niche, you just shouldn't avoid it (wordpress).

Now, how to start a blog is pretty simple.

DESIGN YOUR BLOG
If you don't know or you are not ready to learn your way around wordpress, though simple, you can hire a designer to get you blog done for you at a considerable fee.

CHOOSE A NICHE - Which You Already Did
The most successful auto industry blogs have a specific angle. You can choose to blog about anything and everything related to cars, but this can make it hard to draw in a loyal audience or compete with larger car blogs like motoring.com.au or cars.com. If you choose a certain brand of cars to write about, electric cars, or classic cars instead, you can refine your focus and make sure that your content is truly unique. This will make it easier to build your audience and eventually start making money using targeted advertising.

WRITE WITH YOUR READERS IN MIND
At the heart of any money-making blog is quality content. When it comes to car blogs, quality content could include photographs, video, news, or reviews. Just be sure that you have a definite audience in mind and tailor your content to meet what you think they will be interested in. If you’re not sure where to start, you can derive inspiration from existing reviews. Your audience may be friends and family, or it could be fellow classic car enthusiasts.

GET ORGANIZED
Many bloggers enter into the game with loads of enthusiasm, spending money on a domain and filling it with top-notch content for the first month or two. It’s common for enthusiasm to wane after this point, however, and your blog may languish without any new content for weeks or months at a time. This will cause you to lose readers and any potential for income. As a result, you’ll want to define your goals and set a schedule. If you don’t have a great deal of spare time, commit to something as simple as writing one new car review per week. Regular posting helps boost your readership and search engine rankings.

SIGN UP FOR RELATED ADVERTISING
One of the easiest ways to make money as a car blogger is to place car-related ads on your site. You can do this by signing up with Google Adsense, Amazon, or other retailers. When a reader of yours clicks on their advertisement, you get reimbursed. This won’t make you rich overnight, but it will add up over time as you build your readership.

SELL PRODUCTS
Another way to make money off of your car blog is to start selling products that suit your niche industry. If you write a blog about Porsches, for example, you could have an online ecommerce shop which sells Porsche accessories on the side. Many blogging platforms, Wordpress in this case includes themes that make it easy to set up an online shopping cart system on your main website.

By taking the time to blog about car niche, which I presume you’re passionate about, you could end up with a tidy sum left over each year. Staying true to your interests and creating high quality content for your readers will ensure that the experience is rewarding at the same time.

UCHEUKAGWU:
We want a website that will be used to sell pdf to people. We want a situation whereby if the person purchase the pdf and download it. He can not share it with another system. It can only open in the system they first download it on.

If you can do it. Contact me on 08064478774 or hopeukagwu@gmail.com

Your best bet is to use a software to encrypt all the pdf files, this way only one man can use them, it can not be shared to someone else and at the same time cannot be edited.

This is not the first time my clients are running away!

This one that just happened now almost left me in tears.

I just received a call from a lady asking for advert rate for my blog. after bargaining, we settled for the price.

Now she asked if I had an office!
My God, that is always my problem.

I don't have an office. I'm still a student that his blog is just progressing.
I tried explaining to her but to no avail.

This is not the first time.

They got my number from my blog, so why would they think it's a scam?

Nairalanders, what do I do?

Nairaland has no office, LindaIkeji has none either. If they are really serious, they will advertise.

Based on experience over the range of 3 years. In Nigeria, Whogohost and Trudigits are good to go with, concerning customer support and uptime. Where as, staying off Nigerian hosting companies, Namecheap and Vastgig.net are good to go with.

Hello pls, am having an issue with my blog,

What cause 403 error on a site

Google webmaster tools has been complaining of 403 errors on my site and my site is opening normally from my end

Do you have an idea of what might be the cause and the solution

If you're already in Google Webmaster Tools console, try the 'fetch as Googlebot' function to see if that is also returning a 403.

Double-check your robots.txt file, then your page heads for incorrect robots meta, and your server headers for incorrect configuration.

If you find nothing wrong, it could be an issue with Googlebot at a time when there was some network issue. Re-submit the XML sitemap, ping, and wait/review.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

Webmasters › Re: Twitter Or Instagram ? by OnlineMercenary: 11:39pm On Jul 13, 2016

osile2012:
Twitter or Instagram, which is better for marketing ?

It's really going to depend on your audience, goals, budget, and the kind of content you think you can/should provide based on your audience and goals.

If you want to reach teenagers, for example, I wouldn't recommend Twitter or Instagram but Facebook as the primary tool for social media marketing.

If you deal more with entertainment and politics, go for Twitter.

For fashion, sports and phone reviews, Instagram will work if you play your game right.

In short, there are a lot of different factors that will determine which tools are the best fit for a social media marketing campaign.

God bless team fynestboy.......

What are the things I should do before applying for adsense

Thanks for the question, before applying for adsense, here is the checklist.

1. Write High-Quality Content:

The #1 thing you need to do before applying for Google AdSense is to write high-quality content. This is very important thing which you can’t ignore at any cost.

2. Create Privacy Page for Your Blog:

One of the common mistakes that most new bloggers. Even though there are people out there who say that having a privacy policy for a blog doesn’t make sense but they are wrong!
The first thing you will need to apply for Google AdSense and get approval is the privacy policy of your blog or website. If you don’t have it you cannot get approval simple is that.

3. Create About Page:

Like privacy policy, you must have an about page so that you can get approved. This also shows that there is a real person behind the blog.

4. Setup A Contact Us Page:

Create a contact page, if possible add your email that you are going to apply for Google AdSense. If possible do get some professional email address like ammar@allbloggingtips.com and your social profile links too.

5. Verify Your Name and Email:

When you apply don’t forget to put your name and email address in some easily visible area like about and contact pages. It will confirm to Google AdSense team that it is the same person who applied for AdSense and not some spam, crappy bots.

6. Have Some Good Number Of Posts:

What should be the minimum number of posts before applying for Google AdSense? There is no confirmed answer. Just have some good number of posts.

7. Improve Your Blog Design:

As mentioned earlier, you blog design matters a lot. It should be professional and not like a messy photo gallery. A clean, professional and fast-loading design is appreciated by Google.

8. Check Your Content Type:

Be careful with what type of content you are publishing. Because it is something that truly matters.
Here are some common content types that are not accepted by AdSense.

Pornography/Adult materials
Pirated Content
Hacking or Cracking Tutorials
Illegal Drugs/Paraphernalia
Any Other Illegal Stuff

9. Use Top Level Domain:

Google has made changes to their policies. If you have a blog with and the domain is yourblog..com then chances are you will get approved quickly.
But you will not be able to use that on any other domain like .com. You’ll have to submit the request to upgrade your AdSense account.

10. Remove Other Ad Networks:

If you have any other ads placed like Chitika, Infolinks, Clicksor or anything, it’s time to drop them off.
Make your blog free from ads.

11. Check Your Traffic Sources:

Google hates the sites that are getting paid traffic and mostly penalizes them so there is not a damn chance of getting approved by AdSense for a site that is getting paid traffic. You can bring traffic from search engines or any other way you want but if you want to earn via Google AdSense the right way, paid traffic is not a solution.

Hope this helps.

But with 20 unique posts of at least 500 words each, you are good to go with adsense, well maybe with a little bit of luck.

And future AdSense on the new domain won't be affected?

Pls I needs your view in this.

It will work.

Gurusloaded.com experienced the same thing and moved to gltrends.com - They are still using adsense till now.

Naij.aloaded.com experienced same and moved to nai.jaloaded.com.ng - They were not as lucky as the second one was banned again.

Alexander1370:
Help please,i have a very good idea to make a game but i dont know the standard format to make a game plan and storyline please how do i make a game plan and a story line,help.its an action shooting game.

Well,

Making a game, though isn't as easy as it sounds, at the same time isn't as hard as it might turn out to look.

Answering your question , I shall list them out in steps :

Step 1: Create the world

The story starts with the world. Geography is important, and it gives you a whole range of ideas to work with.

Step 2: Create the characters

The characters are the most important asset. A good character is someone the player can relate to. This means that he or she is “human” (even when they’re not). What makes someone “human”? They have flaws, a history, and somewhere deep down they have good intentions, no matter how messed up they are.

Step 3: Write the Grand Storyline

The grand storyline is the overarching conflict. You probably don’t want to reveal this in your game all at once, but with little bits.

Step 4: Write the Game Story

When you have your world, your characters, and your Grand Story, it is time to take a tiny little piece of all that fluff. It is like framing a photo so that only a little bit is visible. You zoom in, and leave things out. Only tell the things that are important.

Step 5: Make the Storyboard

The next step is to make the storyboard and show yourself how it should all look on screen. There is not much to be said here, but storyboarding is an art in itself and it takes some skill to communicate cutscenes clearly.

Step 6: Implement the story in the game

When implementing the storyline in your game, you are in charge. The trick is to mix and match the game mechanics with the narrative.

Step 7: Iterate!

Hope this piece helps.
