N.B av tried freelancing it just not my way.

please help a brother, I say no to poverty.

please dont call for scammers for your head. You can start blogging. It is the best i can offer to a begineer like you

The perfect reason for starting your blog with every other blogger is to live the dreams of a writer; to work from home, live the internet lifestyle we hear the famous success stories.
All you need to do is wrist in front of your keyboard and type out words.

You feel you are just very close to reaching your dream as a blogger.
Everything seems like fun. Relatively easy to start: purchase a second domain and host it for less the price your shoes cost.

Moreover, with the advancement of technology you can now get a free blog thanks to Blogger, WordPress, Typepad and others that host custom domain free.

At first, the reality didn’t hit you. You follow the great advice and the steps of similar bloggers.

However, as time rolls you find that you can’t pass a ceiling wall on your blog. You struggle with your blog to get traffic, to get comments, to install ads on it.

In short, to make a penny with your blog becomes a torment in hell.
The lifestyle you want to live as a blogger becomes a nightmare. It seems impossible to achieve your goal as a blogger.

Probably you’re guilty of these mistakes beginner bloggers make on their blog that cause them so much pain along the road. You are probably struggling to make ends needs as a blogger not because the blogging gods are against you

But because you’ve made some terrible mistakes as a beginner

Every professional blogger made same mistakes at some points, but they did eventually repent of their sins later on.

Want to find those mistakes let’s continue;

Using a free sub-domain name:
While it’s okay to use a free sub-domain if you’re just keeping a diary on the web(like yourname..com, yourname .worpdress.com). A free subdomain has limitations, which can hinder your blog success.
When you host your sites on a subdomain like blogger.com, or typepad.com, you limit your blog. You can’t use the necessary themes and plugins to grow your blog
Neither can you build your email list. Somebody else’s owns your blog, and they decide to keep your blog on the World Wide Web or not.
Believe me, it's hard, painful and requires special abilities to build a business, “you don’t own.” A sub-domain blog is like a business you don’t own. While there are 2 out of 10000 bloggers who succeed with a sub-domain. 200 of 10000 are likely to succeed on their domain - Is not a numbers game- Is the reality.
Exceptionality can only make you reach your blogging goals on somebody else’s host. However, in this age that everyone and their dog is blogging - it's mind taking to become exceptional?
Except you have some magical powers, it is nearly impossible!
Imagine you woke up one morning and all the hard work, the sweats, the sleepless nights all gone. Your host provider has shut down your blog. Worst, if you spent years building this blog and everything just disappear overnight. How do you intend to bounce back from scratch?

Not investing in their blog;
Many bloggers feel it's okay to start with all free things at the beginning. They use a free theme, a free domain name (if possible), free hosting.
They convince themselves this is right until they start generating profits on their blog. That’s a huge mistake.
Quitting your Job, and blogging full time can’t happen if you don’t go premium on your blog. Investing in your blog is equivalent to investing in yourself.
Not just the tools, you need professional services for your blog, how do you intend to edit your write-ups to spot grammatical errors and wrong sentence structure? Thus, the role of an editor or a proofreading tool comes in handy.
Sure, you can choose to edit your work by yourself but how do you intend to spot grammatical errors. Except you have a background in editing. It's quite difficult to modify one own write-up to detect grammar errors.
Next, how do you intend to deal with your blog design? A professionally designed blog gives readers the ease and sleek of your blog. Does your ad matches with the content of your blog that readers don’t get confused. For a professional blog, everything has to match. If when reading the contents of your blog, the ads distract you readers, you risk losing them for life.
What about your blog logo, banners, and header image, They pass across your blog message and forces people to decide to hop on your blog from the logo.
Images are also important because they simplify things.
You can quickly pass on a complicated message through a picture. No wonder images are the backbone of social media. Pictures get more shares because of the connection between the sense of sight and the human memory

Getting images for your blog is though if you don’t use stock or royalty images. Most free stock image providers give low-quality images free, holding back the high-quality images for premium users.

Don’t forget your internet expenses; Laptop maintenance, adequate power supply, and office space are essential ingredients. We won’t be on the web without them. A crappy laptop filled with viruses can slow down your work. You might not have an office space since you're blogging on your bedroom. However, you do still have to pay your bills to work.
Build it, and they will come;
Flee from such deception. People will jump head and shoulders over each other to read your blog post is a myth completely. The world d works in a very deceptive manner, which you may not know.

A famous writer once shared a story of a very incredible lesson he learned in his childhood.
His father was late. He didn’t have a dad to support him growing up and to worsen the whole situation he had paralysis. It so happened that they didn’t have enough money to pay their bills and feed themselves. His mother had lost her job as a cleaner in a local restaurant.
In fact, they had to go from house to house begging for their next meal.Not sure, where their next meal will arise. The writer brought out a signboard that reads “please help we need money,” at the front of their house. He waited for passers-by to stop by their house and give them money but that didn’t happen. His mother was emotionally touched when she was her son trying to raise funds for the family even while paralyzed.

he wept that day, then he looked out the window and saw a girl selling cupcakes from house to house and within some minutes she was done counting all the money made for the day.

He thought of this, but the didn’t have the resources to bake a cake. They didn’t even have food to eat. He thought of what he could give people in exchange for their money. Then he tried something ridiculous. He brought out some small empty notes and wrote each poem on them. He had the passion for writing songs.
Then he went round the houses, and when they opened the door, they found a 5-year-old kid on their door spot selling songs in a wheelchair.
What were the results?

he ended up selling all the poem books within a few hours and surprised his mother by coming home with enough food that could feed then for at least a month.

What many bloggers are doing in the blogging world is that they are putting “a sign board” for people to donate them some cash, instead of going out to the world and offering something in exchange for people's wallet.
How to take your blog to glory as a beginner
Don’t expect the world to give you money for your writing, Or, worst still come to you. Instead, go out there inspire people, solve their problems, and answer the little questions they’ve got tinkering in their heads.
Blogging is only a means to an end, not an end to a means. Blogging involves more than writing to succeed; It's where the world gathers to hear you voice out your capabilities.
So are you ready to go out there and apply this stuff on your blog? Run ahead and make the necessary changes to avoid sending your blog to the grave at the beginner’s level.

well written. I have bought 2 laptop I regretted. I was lure by cheap price and portability. I've learnt my lesson now.
but OP you forgot to add BATTERY LIFE.
In Nigeria, you should consider battery life on any tech device you're buying. Nigeria power supply can do wonders.

KvnqPrezo:

I can bet you've nothing to show for it....
.
It's not how long but how well..

it was consistence that put the top blogger earners where they are today. they could have achieve that same results with half the effort on WordPress

KvnqPrezo:


Maybe you should scroll up and read the topic of these thread before saying rubbish...
.
Blogger is totally dedicated for bloggers that makes it totally different from WordPress. Just like xenfore is for forum and you can't compare it with blogger...
Talking about forum(lolz) then compare WordPress to top forum software and see if it'll survive it..(are you a learner?)
.
WordPress is totally made for blog and not forum....forum is only achievable with some external software that's why its called plugin. Forum is not a core feature in WP (please get sense)
.
WordPress is for blog and blogger is also for blog, lets keep the plugins aside, Can WordPress beat blogger without plugins(answer with truth) but without gadgets blogger will still beat WP hands-down ...
.
Linda Ikeji is using blogger without any customization that proofs that blogger is easy to use but I bet you can't do anything useful with WP without customizing...
.
Yes I can index my site with blogger. Ask me to teach you if you don't know how...
.
Yes I can run affiliate links on blogger( Maybe you're a newbie) ...
.
Please we are not talking about forums and ecommerce site here but blog..
.
What's the use of members in a blog(please read more about blog) yes I can create membership site with blogger with lot of codes(that proofs you're learning)
.
Blogger is for blog only...(get sense).

Sorry I'm always rude in my post (I mean no harm)... That's me for you...

Still in for argument Lets go that's my hobby...

I laugh..
I guess you're comparing blogger to and not WordPress.org.
you're the type who is spreading the fact that blogger is better than WordPress.
frustrated blogger bloggers will always use Linda as a backup not themselves. while I can pick more than 1000 successful WordPress bloggers at your face.

i will like to know? am planning to go full time into it. and even hire people to work for me.

KvnqPrezo:
Blogger is the best

This are two different platforms..
.
One man food is another man poison....
.
Nobody should quote me!!

mtcheew...
can you create a forum on blogger? you can on WordPress
can you index your site for google and other search engines on blogger? you can on WordPress.
can you can run affiliate links, membership site on blogger?
WordPress can't be compared to blogger because you can create any kind site yo
u want on WordPress be it forum, blog, sales page, gaming site, download site, ecommerce store.
you can install live customer care, countdown timer, animations. there are more than 3 million theme and plugins for that.
in conclusion your platform can't make you successful. hard work does

KvnqPrezo:

Guy please Recap again. Did I hear you say nothing?
Mehn I disagree...
.
Yes WP is good but not everyone likes it just as some people still choose twitter over facebook.....
..
Even if the Op said Blogger is the best he is right in his own way...

NOT EVERYONE LIKE WORDPRESS

how many WordPress site do you own. stop comparing yourself to people who started blogging before internet arrived Nigeria.

techinfong:
It is of no news again that we have many blogger bloggers in Nigeria,though i created a topic Wordpress vs blogger but many aspirant bloggers want to know the main reason why many choosed blogger over self hosted wordpress.

1.It ir free : We all know it will be hard to maintain wordpress blog during this recession most especially those using premium plugins that requires renewal,with blogger you don't need need to start searching for host companies since blogger is free

2.You can test blogger blogs before you start lavishing money on it :
This is one thing that is really superb for new bloggers since you have the opportunity to test and that's why we have many blogger blogs that doesn't even have owners again but you can't try that with self-hosted wordpress since you're counting down to another one year hosting sub

3.Lindaikeji and ogbonge are using it: One of the basic reasons why many ventured into using blogger was because those two popular bloggers use blogger platform,the mosy annoying thing is that many won't let you rest disturbing everywhere with "I need ogbonge Template"

4.Advertisment it has over Wordpress : Since blogger is owned by the giant google,they have a step ahead over wordpress and they can use any medium to advertise their platform and even apart from that their users even help in expanding the advertisments

5.It is easy to customize : Every blogger users that haven't tried wordpress will think Wordpress is easy to customize since they have plugins but believe me blogger is more easier to customize that wordpress,incase you don't know there isn't any wordpress plugin that doesn't have editor panel you can use to shape the plugin to your taste.

We have various things that are in built in blogger but in wordpress you will have to download plugins and even after downloading you must edit the code because the default look might not be appealing

Source : http://techinfo.com.ng/2016/10/01/5-reasons-many-bloggers-choosed-blogger-wordpress/

op you are a learner. Nothing beats WordPress. most of your points are false. WordPress is free. you only pay for hosting. most of the plugins are free too.
almighty blogs like CNN. BBC, Huffinpost post, use WordPress.
Google favours WordPress over blogger. because users can navigate easily.
Remember how google took down Linda blog. that wouldn't have happened on WordPress

true

hmm

oga,no body is clicking on that link. post it here

seriously. you don't need any business idea. look for how and where you can
add value to peoples life in this recession.
people are suffering from hunger. you get my point??

You nail it op...kudos

Iam glad you like it.

There are many ways to drive traffic to a website. but not all of them works so good. I will list 5 ways, i personally use to drive traffic to my site.
1. Facebook pages and group;
facebook is one of the biggest largest social media network in the world has over 1,0000000+ users in the world and 16,0000 people in Nigeria.
i could remeber when i wanted using facebook to drive traffic to my site. i created a facebook page and linked it to my site. the page ended up having over 13k likes drive more than 50 to 100 visitors daily to my website.
create a fan page and invite your friends to join. you can use tells friends to invite people to your website. but note that not everyone will like your page . infact, if your lucky, you can get 10 to 20% of your friends who will like your page. so at 500 friends, i got 50 likes to my page.
i was disappointed, and i decided to try another approach, i created a more account and added more friends. i inivited all of my friends to like my page and got over 3000 likes from this approach which was way more better than 50 friends.
you can increase likes to your page by posting interesting content that people will have no option than to share with their friends, giving you more likes.
post articles, pictures, videos, and quotes. make your page an interactive community and people will propel to share your content with their friends. make sure your contents connect deep into an emotional level with our fans.
"one way to post contents that drives shares is to post shocking facts, funny clip videos, and extraordinary images and your fans will share your contents to their friends".
the facebook group is a huge one. infact the advantages are outrageous. one great cons of using facebook group is that your fans can post contents to the group, they can interact with one another and can post questions.
Group members also recieve notifications of posts in the group. this is a very great way to drive traffic to your site, but you must build relationship with your group members first by being of great help to them. if not, on one will click on your links.


2. SEO is your site optimize for search engine traffic; like google, yahoo, bing... if not you are missing out on a great way to drive traffic to your site. do you know that visitors that come from search engine are all already prequalified, they are already looking for what you have to say on your site?.
i can remember back in those days, whenever i did a search on google. Nairaland always appears on the top results. and by always visiting nairaland, i became used to the strange site. and not before long, i became a member of the forum and many other nairalanders too registered on this forum from nairaland.
do your keyword research, keywords are words someone puts into a search engine when tryin to search for an information.
for example, when some is looking for a job. they might type " job posting in Nigeria" . there are many advanced tools for keyword reasearch. but there are less complicated and easy tools like the google keyeord planner, Ubersuggest etc. a couple of play around those tools will make you a master at them.
when you've found the keywords for your site. optimize your site for it. put the keywords in your title, create more contents around those keywords and your site will appear in google when ever someone searches for that keyword.
for instance a quick search on google for nairaland produces 673,000 results. if 50% of people click on the results. it means an extra 300,00 + visitors for nairaland.
Most popular blogs get most of their traffic from seo. seo will get you more targeted traffic for free.

3. Direct traffic; what made linda ikeji blog very successful is because she gets more than 20,000 visitors from direct traffic; so does nairaland. direct traffic is when someones goes to his or her web browser and types in the name of your website. it mans that person must have your website name offhat. no one will remember your website, if they dont get any thing significant from visiting your site. what is it that they can get on your blog , that they wont see else where on the internet. Linda ikeji shares her own stories with her viewers. she put herself before her taffic viewers and leads by example.

4. mobile traffic; this is the most neglected source of traffic by blog owners, you have a list of contacts, do you think some of them will be interested in visiting your website if you send them sms. if you are selling ecommerce. there is no better way to drive traffic to your website than this method.
Research shows that 90% of people open their sms within 10 minutes of reieveing. why not tap into this potential goldmine of drivinf lots of traffic to your website.

5. Networking; how many people can even talk of their blog offline. can you tell someone you met somewhere about your site. Having a blog isnt about siting on the computer everyday ( Iam guilty of this myself sometimes). you must go out and network. Linda ikeji has big connections today, because she choses to network unlike most bloggers, who just sit on their laptops day and night. that is not a good way to build a business.
if you run an entertainment blog, you can network with music industries, comedy shows and concert.
if you run a health blog. you can network with Gym companies, diet film, food nutrionist.

With all these killer startegies on your finger tips, i hope you take action on any of them and start implementing them today.
please leave any questions in the comment box and i will answer them
