Hi, I did a bit of GAds too early this year and I used my barter visa card (it's a virtual card), the rate is high af btw!

Intellab:

I got payment suspension on First Bank, FCMB and UBA mastercard. I will get UBA africard.
Do you choose manual or automatic payment?

ojasweb:


Africard too has limitation on amount you can spend per month. I don't know the amount though but it should be more higher than the regular cards.

Alright, thank you

Google didn't accept the card. Card declined kind of error. I created another vcc, used fresh email, but still got the same error.
Same error in Google playstore.

I think the error could be from you.

Happy New Month to you all.

Let me quickly drop this update to keep the readers informed.

So yesterday, September 30th, 2021, someone called me to complain about his frustration on Google ads.

Basically, each time he created a new Google ads account, it got suspended within a few minutes.

According to him, he has created more than 10 accounts within a week and all of them are being suspended before running ads. Now he is confused and doesn't know what next to do.

If you're in similar situation, the possible reason could be because you are owing Google.

Very simple.

In case you are wondering how possible it is to owe Google, i will tell you what most people are doing.

On Google ads, payment methods are different from country to country. In Nigeria, the acceptable method is manual payment and monthly invoicing*. I asterisk the monthly invoicing because it is actually not working as at the time i discussed with my dedicated support team at Google.

For countries like USA, Canada, UK, etc, there are multiple payment methods allowed. Google support threshold in these countries, hence what most people do is to create an account for that country so that they can use the threshold and abandon the account for the next one without paying.

This issue has been on for years, however, recently Google has been doing everything possible to deal with those people that are doing it.

So, if you're facing this issue of repeated Google ads account suspension, this could be the reason.

How to solve it?

I will talk about it later.

Greetings to everyone following the thread.

While i do think that the CBN limitation on international transactions is not a major challenge when it comes to advertising in Google ads, i have noticed that many people are complaining about it.

For example, people whose advertising budget is a couple of thousand dollars will always complain about the limitation except they have other stable means to pay for their ads.

Why do you think CBN limitation isn't a major challenge when it is? Is there a way you can help us out with it and you're not talking about it?

I have clients that spend between $1000 and $7000 per month here in Nigeria, and they are paying with only one card.

That tells you it's possible in Nigeria.

ojasweb:


That tells you it's possible in Nigeria.

But costly.

samuelson06:


But costly.

What exactly is costly? If you mean the cost of $$$, then the blame is not on Google.

ojasweb:

Of course. It's not Google. I don't know if banks can sell dollars to someone for this purpose. I wouldn't mind if they make it non-withdrawable.

How can i reach you privately please ?

I doubt if they will sell.

There are a lot of good online skills but the major thing you need to consider is the ease of monetisation.
Personally, i like website optimization for conversion. I also like funnels design and optimization. I like web analytics. I like anything that have to do with automation such as email autoresponders.

For me, i usually learn based on the things I have passion for and my personal ability. So if you're looking to build a career around a skill, i suggest you look for the ones that you won't easily get tired of.

I recently got into the bolded, are you also a pro in the same way you are in Google ads as well? I have some questions I want to ask you either here or in dm

No, I'm not a pro in that. You can still ask your questions because other pros on the forum might be willing to provide answers.

Dear Ojas ,
Can I ask what kind of ads do well in this Nigeria hostile economic conditions ? I mean both goods and services from your clients ?

ojasweb:

Are these people marketing to just Nigerians or to the international community?

Yes, Nigerians living in Nigeria.

Your past activity on Google ads is the main reason.

ojasweb:


Your past activity on Google ads is the main reason.

I used fresh account and portable chrome browser.

One major thing i have learnt from managing ads for clients for the past six years is the changing of mindset.

Back then, if you mention earning 10,000 Naira per day legitimately, it is not easy for me to believe it because of the mindset.

But with working and personal experience, the mindset has changed.

I have worked with a couple of people who spent $10,000 per day on ads, and many who spent between $100 - $1000 per day. These experiences have changed my view.

In this virtual world, the opportunities are just too diverse.

Nowadays, if i hear people talking about how to make $50,000 per day online legitimately, i believe it is very much possible.

The most important thing is to learn, associate with the right people and implement whatever you're learning.

PS:
The screenshot is for my new client who's now doing between $1500 - $2500 daily, and i am highly impressed with the result.

I am the Google ads specialist, #Ojasweb
Cheers!

Quick update on this thread.

On one of the posts i was mentioned on Facebook, someone asked why his account is being suspended for unpaid balances.

Basically, his Google ads account is suspended due to unpaid balances despite the fact that he has money in his bank account and the card he added to the ads account is still active.

I don't want to beat around the bush before answering him, so i simply told him that he owes Google money.

He could not argue because he knows i am right.

When people use Google ads threshold account and abandoned it at the point of making payment, and proceed to creating new accounts, this is the kinds of issues they could be facing.

Google is a giant company and they might still be able to track your activities even when you buy a new laptop.

Cheers!

Just yesterday, I just saw a subject on my email that my google ad account has been cancelled (didn't read the mail, was busy on some other project) due to non use for a while. True I haven't used it for a while but can I open another ad account with same email account when I wanna place another ad or its completely cancelled for that email account forever?

***Tried to go read the email now but found out I deleted it!

You may be able to reactivate the account. Just visit ads.google.com and login with the email. Ideally you should see the option to reactivate it in the Google ads account settings.

ojasweb,

can you train someone on google ads manager and how to manage 3rd party advertisers...i have a UK ad manager account just seating there.

could be put to some use.
