Guys, you will not succeed if you do not write good sales copies. Learn how to here https://www.nairaland.com/5886887/finally-how-write-copies-actually#90033373 Thank you OP |
Let me begin with a myth buster. Wants are more powerful than needs. Did you know that? I'm sure you've heard this cliche a lot, "highlight how you can meet their needs and they will buy". Here's the problem with that. If you only sell to someone's needs, they will always buy the lowest cost solution to meet those needs. Think about it, how much can you possibly sell water (under normal circumstances), compared to selling champaign? Would you go to a hotel and buy a N5,000 bottle of water when you can have one for N500? Not really, right? But you can go to a hotel and buy a N50,000 bottle of champaign even if you have the option of a N3,000 champaign. In fact, you would most likely desire the most expensive. Headlines? How important are they? Looks at these quick stats; 80% of your potential customers read your healing as compared to only 5% who read the actual body of the text. How can you get more people to read the body of your copy? How can you create headlines that captivate your audience and gets your copy read? Here are a few tips; 1. Know your media. Print or online? if it's online, keywords are important 2. Online? you MUST keep your headline at 70 characters or less. 3. Don't use full stops. People will do just that 5. Use the power of numbers 6. Offer - then squash objection 7. ? 8. ? 9. ? 10. ? 11. ? *I'll complete the list for the next five reservations I get ![]() So here's a quick way to structure your copy. It's called, AIDA A - Attention I - Interest D - Desire A - ? Wonder what the last A stands for? Can you guess? Well, I'll be sharing this principle and more in a special zoom class. It's going to be a very small class (maybe 5 people max) and yes, it not going to be free? But hey think about how this will entirely transform your sales and triple your profits. Send me a Whatsapp message now if you want to be a part of the "select few". Send a message to 09091772274 now and reserve your seat. Make this urgent! Your business needs it. |

How will this money be tracked to ensure it meets its goal. I just think this is another way to have ASUU eat its own part of the aids so everyone can keep shut! Or maybe I don't just trust the government. |
Congratulations to them. Another insanely fast human is born. |
The Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, on Tuesday, said a study carried out by a research institution in the Federal Ministry of Health revealed that not all sanitisers in circulation are up to standard. Ehanire said this while addressing journalists at the Presidential Task Force (PTF) briefing on COVID-19 in Abuja. He also gave an advisory on identifying standard sanitisers in the market stressing the importance of checking the NAFDAC number and ingredients used in producing the sanitiser. “I will start by using the opportunity to issue an advisory on sanitiser. You will see a lot of sanitisers out in the market. A study carried out by research institution in the Ministry of Health has shown not all of them are up to standard. “In buying sanitisers, there is an advisory I will like to share. You must look first of all at the NAFDAC number. A sanitiser should have a NAFDAC number. “Secondly, it should have a place where the ingredients are displayed. You must see that it contains a minimum of 60% alcohol. If it is anything different from that, the sanitiser is not going to do the job you think it is doing,” he said. The Minister also gave an update on health workers who have recovered from COVID-19. He said the health workers are currently being observed for a period of 14 days before they return to work. https://www.channelstv.com/2020/05/19/not-all-sanitisers-in-circulation-are-up-to-standard-health-minister/

Mine is Konko Below. I love him. Real Legend. |
LOL! |
I subscribed to this YouTube channel recently and I learnt very interesting history about Africa. Highly recommend. Meanwhile the Oku people of Sierra Leone are descendants mainly from Yoruba liberated Africans. 99% of the Oku people are muslims. Africa is basically one large family. I hope we realise this. |

No it doesn't, however, it doesn't also sufficiently credit Africa enough for its input in world development. Blakjewelry: |

I sat down in front of my laptop, taking another sip from my cinnamon, mango, and pineapple-infused tea, wondering again why, after so many years, memories of my first home still clung to me like an extra limb. I found myself marveling once again at the concept of home which has remained an elusive shadow while at the same time persisting like an invisible rode to my mental, emotional and psychological anchor. As I clicked on AllAfrica.com on the laptop, I took another sip of tea as my eyes began to look for news from various parts of Africa. I searched through several encouraging news about Ghana, Ethiopia, Rwanda – countries that seem to be slowly but surely clawing their ways out of poverty by taking simple, commonsensical actions with the help of reasonably responsible leaders. Then I turned to news about a police raid on girls in Abuja, the capital of the country of my birth and my smile turned into a frown when I read the list of things that could get a person arrested under some stupid law about indecent dressing: transparent tops, miniskirts… I patted my head, fingering my short, cropped, salt and pepper grey sisterlocks and would have chuckled if I wasn’t so mad at the thought that people could get arrested, for deciding like me, to wear their hair the way God made it when my phone began to ring. I gave up trying to see who it was on the caller ID and reached to take off my glasses that had become foggy from the steam of the tea when I first made it. I tried to clean the glasses with a paper towel quickly and then noticed it was my old friend, Aminu Saladin on the phone. “Hello madam, I hope I didn’t wake you?” He sounded apologetic. I smiled, recalling how I had failed at convincing Aminu to drop his informal way of addressing me as “Madam”. I should be used to this typical Nigerian way of addressing one’s superiors and elders. So what if I am much older than him and once served as his direct boss? We’re colleagues! We have also known each other for so many years. I smiled recalling how I also find myself addressing people as sir, madam, uncle, and aunty as soon as I arrived in Nigeria. “No Aminu,” I replied to his question. “I find that as I get older, I’ve become more of an early bird. How are things in Lagos? I was just reading about some not so interesting things happening to women in Nigeria.” “Do you mean Glopol had already contacted you? We just found out…? “No Aminu, no one has called me about anything to do with Nigeria. I was just referring to something I read in the papers …” “Papers? Did the press…?” “Aminu! What I read has nothing to do with your case, at least I don’t think so. Why don’t you start by telling me why you called?” I asked, trying not to sound too impatient. I’m the one who was supposed to be notorious for my wondering mind. It turned out that he was calling to invite me to help with a case which might have international diplomatic implications. He told me the details of the case and even though I explained to him that I was retired and had moved to Canada to be close to my daughter and her family, he insisted he wanted me to help with this particular case given my connection with Nigeria. He would call Glopol and tell them he had brought me on board. After talking to him, I hesitated before calling Rola to let her know I might be going to Nigeria to work on a case. She and my two grandchildren were the reasons I decided to move to Canada after retirement. I also knew she was going through a period of adjustment since her divorce. “Mum, should you be taking on a case right now?” She sounded disappointed. “Honey, I know we both agreed that after I retire, I’d not travel so much and simply spend my time with you and the children while writing my memoirs but…” “But what mum? Have you changed your mind? Are you now going to be working as a private investigator? So what’s the use of retiring?” I found myself chewing the sides of my lower lip. “Well?” she asked when I didn’t say a word. “Honey, I really don’t know how to explain this to you. I love you and the boys but…” “We’re not enough to keep you occupied.” “Don’t sound like that. You know how much I enjoy spending time with you all. And writing my memoirs is going a lot slower than I thought. I’ll still come over this evening for dinner and bring Mo back here with me for the weekend as we planned.” After hanging up with Rola, I noticed that Aminu had sent me the email he promised to send with some preliminary details about the case. Do walls really have ears? Do they have the desire to talk? Do houses have memories and secrets? Well, the house in Ikoyi, Lagos, the reason Aminu called, certainly did. The building was one of the several results of the attempts of the British in tropical West Africa to provide inexpensive alternatives to the adobe structures that they found on the ground when they colonized Lagos. The desire to provide housing for their local staff led the British to import huge amounts of cement, and corrugated iron sheeting. No 27, Lady Laggard Street, started out life as a standard colonial-issue tropical house with a deep veranda, overhanging eaves, and classical forms. It stood for decades in the upscale neighbourhood of Ikoyi. Unlike neighbouring houses on Lady Laggard Street, however, number 27 had more than just memories. It had a secret which might cause people, who are superstitious, to imagine that it must have haunted its inhabitants for many years. It was tucked away in a drum. But I am not one of those people and I was determined to pry the secret open. From the onset, I found the fact that number 27 Lady Laggard Street had housed diplomats from Germany, the UK, Switzerland, and the Netherlands at various points fascinating. It had played host to middling dignitaries who wined and dined there from virtually every country on earth. On my way from Toronto to Lagos via Amsterdam, I took the opportunity to read through the pile of documents that I printed out from the barrage of emails I received from Aminu. From the reports he sent, May 8th, 2003 was the third day of excavation for a construction team that was working to dig the foundation of No 27 after the old colonial story building was demolished. The demolition was to make room for a new block of flats that would house 16 apartments on 8 floors. On the morning of that third day of excavation, the backhoe loader that was being used to dig a new foundation hit something which the operator thought was unusually solid. He backed the tractor up and disembarked in order to take a closer look at the cause of the obstruction. The obstacle turned out to be a steel drum that had been sealed and buried in a rather shallow grave. When it was lifted and pried open, astonished construction workers were first hit by a stench and then noticed what appeared to be the crown of a human head with large bald patches from where hair had fallen off. Who's body could this have been? Could this have been a crime? If so, who's responsible?

WHAT WAS THE REST OF THE WORLD DOING WHEN EUROPEANS WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING THE WORLD? The answer to this question raised by people like John Henrik Clarke is in not too far-fetched. In order to justify slave trade and colonization, Europe needed to fabricate a history that emphasised its presumed superiority and minimize the contributions of all other groups of people. The easiest way to justify slavery and colonization was through the fabrication of a history that glorified the role of the white race as the only race which had the ability to civilize the world. To do so, they had to deny the roles of all other peoples and in the process dehumanize them. Those of you like me who are naturally skeptical might also ask when and how did this false claim gain ground? There are some historians who shed light on these questions: John Henrik Clarke and John G. Jackson identity the 15th and 16th centuries, the same period when Europe extended itself to Africa and Asia as the period when this claim became institutionalized. These views were reinforced by people like Hegel who described the African as ‘undeveloped, still involved in the conditions of mere nature; devoid of morality, religions and political constitution’. Beliefs like Hegel’s helped justify Europe’s enslavement and colonization of Africa because Europe’s territorial ambition needed a deliberate policy to colonize minds by falsifying history. So they put forward Ancient Greece as the cradle of civilization. However, as Prof Ali Mazrui points out, the civilization of Ancient Greece would have been impossible without Egyptian civilization, which predates it and from which it borrowed heavily. Even when some western historians are forced to concede that Greek and Roman civilizations borrowed heavily from Ancient Egypt, they are quick to push forward another falsehood: that Ancient Egypt was completely isolated from other parts of Africa and so the Egyptian civilization should not be construed as having originated from Africa. Some even go as far as trying to claim that Egypt is an extension of the European continent! This is why other historians, like Robert. R. Palmer and Joel Colton start their account of world history by first, it is wrong to point to Greece or Rome as proof of European influence in civilization because the idea of Europe as an entity is a very recent phenomenon. These historians also show that on the other hand, it is more historically accurate to trace the contribution of black Africans to Ancient Egypt than to link Europe’s claim to any Greek or Roman civilization which followed the Greek one as evidence of their contribution to world civilization. In other words, they challenge claims by Eurocentric historians who project the idea of Europe as the forerunner of world civilization. Palmer and Colton prove that even the very word Europe did not exist during the Greek civilization and it was hardly used by Ancient Romans. As a matter of fact, Romans considered other Europeans as Barbarians. There is evidence to support the fact that in spite of Ancient Roman snobbery, and they were famous for looking down on all other people, they did not discriminate on the bases of race. Rather, their system was based on Roman citizenship. Many of the neighbouring people in what is now known as the European continent whom they conquered were subjugated alongside people of other races who came under Roman rule. So, I hope that answers the question about when history as most of us know it became skewed. My next posting will further challenge the idea of Europe as the cradle of civilization.
