Yeah. Here covers don't show what genre they are, they're short and she didn't make readers know, and her description needs working.

It's a start though and she can surely become better.

Thank God for him.

How I Made 300+k On Nairaland In a Day [Picture]

The title should've been Romance + Craziness + Fun + Money.

On Nairaland, the Romance Section, I'm the most abused and secretly, the most loved.

If you're a man or woman and you find yourself to be the most abused, count yourself lucky.

If you end up as the most loved, also count yourself lucky.

If you end up with both, you're the luckiest.

All that matters is not the love or hate, but the exposure/attention.

In this day and age, exposure/attention is the key to digital wealth. You need to seek for attention and when you get it, exploit your way to greatness.

If no one knows you or your product, no one will buy from you and you'll feel bad for not being patronized or recognized.

Unfortunately, most of us don't want to be hated — we only want to be loved by everyone. This is where failure starts. (Yes, I still believe failure doesn't exist, but that is in a different context).

Trying to be loved will lead you to frustration because after doing things to please others, when you wake the next morning, you won't be happy with yourself. You'll keep doing this and won't turn back because you don't want people to hate you.

If you want to be successfully, stop trying to please everyone — have some haters and have some fans. Without these two people, you're doomed or at most, you'll end up in a 9-5 job that you don't like.

Surprisingly, at your workplace, there are co-workers who won't like you. So, the haters you're running from on the Internet, you still met them at work — they are everywhere. Some like to call themselves advisers or critics, haters.

The summary is: Haters are everywhere (in different clothing), so suck it up and enjoy the free attention they give you even though they may hurt (yes, some do). After pains, come gains. So, stay strong and don't let them get to you.

As an Internet business man or woman, your mission is to gather attention, exposure, haters, and fans as you dish out helpful/entertaining contents to people for free.

While doing this, stay honest, stay happy, stay crazy, stay fun, stay focused, and stay consistent until all is achieved.

The hard part is being consistent like a mentally deranged man/woman until all is achieved. This is the stage people give up because they can no longer handle the attack from people calling them p.sycho, de.mented, stu.pid, idi.ot, etc. 

Time To Cash Out

Finally, package and introduce a product to sell and your fans will buy while your haters help you promote it by trolling/abusing/stalking you.

They'll think they're doing you, but no, you're using them to gather more attention and reach a wider audience.

When you become successful, don't forget to help your haters (even if it's just recharge card) the same way they helped you (in reaching a wider audience) and don't forget to appreciate your fans/clients for patronizing you and standing on your side.

Psychology Behind the 300k+ Per Day.

These books were once threads posted for free on Nairaland, but packaged as books at last.

If you have gone through all the stages above, do a bonanza where your digital product will become extremely cheap for anyone to afford.

Using my book as an example, they normally sell for 7k, 10k, and above and they have been making lots of sales at that price every day.

Now, what do you think will happen if you reduce each to just 1k per book on the first day of your birth month, 2k on the second day, 3k on the third day, and on it goes until they return to normal prices?

There is something called "rush hour" or "cheap hour" and humans love to take advantage of them.

Since these people know the second day will be 2k, the third day will be 3k and so on, they rushed on the 1st day to patronize me for 1k per book. Some of them bought all our books (15 at the time).

At the end of the day, 90+ people patronized me on the first day and generated more than 300k in a day.

The reason it was low was because  Nigeria was recovering for recession and most Nigerians didn't have money for food let alone to purchase a book. No be person wey dey alive dey read book?

The second promo was in 2020 and it was worse because of COVID-19 and a second recession. I only realized 130k in that one.

If not for all these recessions, pandemic, poverty in the country, and me only doing the promo on just Nairaland, we would've been talking about millions per day in these bonanzas. This is where a wider audience comes to play.

My local audience is just on Nairaland and that's why it's hard for me to deactivate and leave run away from this forum. If I leave, I'm leaving lots of millions on the table.

The total I have made selling these books on Nairaland, considering all the hundreds of people that bought Lasticle for 10k, ChatDîcted 2.0 for 10k, TDFG for 10k, etc. is in the millions.

Deactivating and leaving more legit millions on the table is hard to do. If it was a fra.udulent money, I would've gone, but this is legit and made from the confine on my home without paying tax.

So, I'm pleading to anyone who had read this far not to take haters seriously, but see them as a blessing to greatness even if they say hurtful things to you.

Endurance to pains is one of the keys to growth.

What I explained can be applied in different products, not just in books, but in any BAYURBARs method of money making.

So, the benefit of all the abuses I have received on this forum are

1. 100k to 300k (on my birth month)
2. They made me popular for free (I'm more known on this forum than those who abused me — combined)
3. I don't slave for money anyone — money slaves for me.
4. The girls these unpopular haters are crushing on are secretly crushing on me (fame comes with lots of free gifts).
5. There is money to share 1k card on a regular basis — thanks to haters.
6. I can even write a bestseller book by sharing the story of how I enjoyed Nairaland and how I used abusive people to grow financially, socially, and more.
6. And the list goes on.

Finally, haters are not obstructing you from success, you're the one obstructing yourself because you lack emotional intelligence and can't handle "words people say."

Wise up and stay woke so you can finally sleep in the morning when others are awake slaving for money.

That's all for today.

I wish you could do this sort of topics more often. You've done well for me. I just learned something I've been wanting to ask you, but not sure you would answer.
Thanks, ILegend.

Lorayne:
The YouTube channels pls!.... And I love your diary... It's hard being introverted in this part of the world.

Yeah, it is. I can tell you it has not been easy.
For the process of publishing, including designing your covers, look for Keith Wheeler.
You could also get Jeff Goins' YOU ARE A WRITER.
Jonathan Greene also has a book, although I cannot remember the name again. It's something about firing your boss. There he outlined all the steps he uses in publishing his books. He's easily the most prolific nonfiction author I've come across. He also has a book, "20k a day_How to Launch More Books..."

The books I have are mainly for fiction writers. With nonfiction, you just need to outline the table of contents, research on each chapter, and then fire ahead. It helps when you already have everything figured out so that nothing can distract you when you eventually begin the writing process.

Good morning, ILegend

Sorry to bother you. I just needed to learn something from you. A couple of months ago, you made a thread explaining your writing method.
The part that caught my attention was that aspect of dictation. I noticed your threads are usually long and I just came from one of your threads from 2018 where you said you had a 200k book. I reasoned it must be because you dictate. I've tried dictation in the past. It didn't work very well. Could you be so kind as to letting me know how you do yours?
I'd be really grateful for this, I promise.

Lorayne:
non-fiction..... both if possible.

For fiction, it would help if you got all of James Scott Bell's books.

For nonfiction, I'd recommend some YouTube channels. Although, there are books, too. I would have to boot up my laptop to get their names

Lorayne:
Ok... I want to go into writing but I've never written anything before.... any tips, books on writing you can recommend to a total beginner?

I just realized now that I didn't reply you. I'm sorry. Well, it would depend on the type of writing you want to do. Is it fiction or nonfiction?

Lorayne:
pabon...,.. how much do you earn monthly on average with writing?

I do different kinds of writing. So, I can't really put it at any given average.

iLegendd:
I have written lots of books on different topics, but don't advertise most.

In Nigeria, there are only 2 types of books most can buy easily

1. Relationship/sex books
2. Make money books

So, I promote only what the market I'm targeting wants. Giving people too many options is bad, so I curtail my ads to what the geographical location needs the most than trying to bombard them with everything and end up with nothing.

Noted.
More of these information, please.

Let's go there.

Schoolshoe:
