Spent over 75k promoting a clickbank product. Got hundreds of clicks but no single sale. The saving grace is that the Facebook ad account is a USD post-paid, I just dumped it. However, in the process, I learnt the nitty-gritty of FB ad.

Please bro explain more of your ordeal.......... This is the real story behind online marketing.

People thought is something that is easy. Funny enough with those guys that say c9me to my dm for free.

See nobody in life will ever willingly tell you his strategy, especially online stuff, except it is about to cast or the marketis saturated.

I run an online clothing store and it's been a blessing , the only negative experience I have encountered is people asking for payment on delivery and not turning up when the item arrives their destination and some asking for discount knowing fully well that money has been spent for shipping. I stopped all that by insisting on payment before shipping, although it reduced the daily orders but I'm happier now.
Most customers don't read , that is why they always fall victim to scammers . Before you buy anything from anyone on social media , ensure they are registered with CAC and also google verified. Everyone claims to have been scammed before and that makes it hard for me to convince people to pay before shipment.
Another issue is Instagram , they shut down your page for little reasons that should be discussed and settled easily. They cause a lot of problems for us for example after printing your business card and flyers with your Instagram page names they suddenly close it because of a post that you may not even know when you posted it . This means that you have to print another set again and it's very expensive. Facebook has been marvelous and sometimes I think they assist me .
please can I buy old facebook with payu from you ,the old facebook I get have only visa/ mastercard without payu, if I create new one
it have payu but it will be restricted... PLEASE HELP.

Excerpt from my new book

In 2017, I created a classified ads website similar to . The name of the website was sellersng.com. Since I know about Google ads and I can handle the advertisement by myself, I built the website to provide an alternative platform for business owners to sell more of their products and services and also provide another source of income for me.

I went to approach car dealers and real estate agents to list their offers on the website for free on agreement to share commission from sales that come via the website. None of the people I approached agreed to list their offers. It was one excuse or another.

I also approached some of my Facebook friends who are in the ecommerce niche to list their products for free while I handle the advertisement without any commitment from them. They never respond. I decided to use my money to run ads to encourage people to list their offers on the platform.

I was earning my regular income from my Google ads services, and I started putting my income on Google to advertise the classified ads website. Within a period of five months, I had spent one million Naira on advertising. What did I get in return?

Junk listings. Spamming, and scammers looking for who to scam. These people even made managing the website a hell for me. I learnt a big lesson and I dumped the website.

No online business is bad if you're ready to follow the lay down rules.

Most people are not patient to learn the rudiment of online business.

Online business is not a ponzi scheme(MMM) that will tell you to invest #10,000 to get #20,000.

Learn to do online business rightfully.
So, MMM is offline business?

This is a well calculated scam. I can’t believe this is a scam. It looks like magic. When you register, it is as if they use charms on you. It was when I invested about 25 USD and earned 1.6 USD that I began to think am. So if I go Ketu market buy a bag of Garri for 17k, after selling it, there is no way I will not realize 17,100. But in the case of SFI, I could not even get any where close to my capital. That was when their juju clear for my eyes. My main regret was that I had involved other people in it. So I had to call everyone I brought into the useless SFI to explain and apologize.

I purchased some items from an online vendor on Instagram. She received my payments and started avoiding me. I was able to get her full details via my contact that work in the bank she uses.

I submitted her details to EFCC for over 3 weeks now and nothing has been done. I am even about to resort to self-help and run it the street way.


Last year, I lost about 1m to some fraudsters who disguised as OPay agents and added us to a telegram group filled with fake members and fake credit alerts. Till this moment, nothing has been done despite submitting their account numbers to EFCC and CBN.

Nigeria is a cursed country

You're the cursed one. Go for deliverance.

As a girl don't ever pray for Indian men to be on your Facebook list, because you must do online business of showing them your nudes, whether you like it or not except you use the block button immediately

And they're ever ready to send theirs immediately you ask themcheesy

Seeing these fools dicks, I immediately pity their women, because I can't imagine how such small , short, tiny dick can satisfy their women. All Indian men have baby dick, I don't know the reason for this.

While our broke Nigerian men pride themselves with royal stallion horse dick.
They Indians that show you their dick are actually very broke too
