Nwanne abum onye Igbo mana zuzuru gi mechie onu.

Una chest beating too much for this forum. Tufiakwa.

You set of generational rettards disgust me a lot and I fear for the future of Igbo nation.

Learn to strategize and build. Stop attracting unnecessary heat and negative attention to yourself.

Even if some hopeless people insult you, learn not to insult back. Achieve quietly and move on with your life.

Most of us on this forum have travelled the world and made a little money. But we don't see it as anything. We don't even see it as money because its nothing compared to real money.

In Switzerland, you see so many European business men rolling in millions but they still drive bicycle and are very quiet. Because they know that someone sitting close to them maybe far richer than them and is ready to make even more. So why the noise?

Ordinary 20 million an average Nigerian maggot will see in his account, noise everywhere. Its big money to you because most of you are very myopic on what goes on at the international level. Lets learn to be humble in life.

20 million is just 14,000 euros on the international scene. You can't even survive 1 year in Denmark with that if you are not working. I said surviving not living. To live, you need far more above that.

Ordinary Emmanuela you see on comedy videos maybe making more than 50 million naira a year from all her social media channels. But you hardly see her come online to boast or show case material accumulations.

Even that small boy called Kirikun is smart too.

There is a reason you don't see the likes of Allen Onyema, Peter Obi, Dangote, Alex Otti, Soludo, Otedola, Jim Oviah making noise. Its because they are real achievers. Real achievers don't show off what they already have because who are they really trying to impress?

Life has taught me that me one thing. Empty vessels make the loudest noise.

God bless you, sir!


These guys that claim to be Igbos here are very annoying and sénsèless! When we are trying to achieve great things, they're here igniting a war against others forgetting that the others are needed to patronize us.

Don't be surprised they don't even use any of these Igbo products but are busy destroying everything all in the name of "chest beating".

Eish, how pathetic!

Prettygirl200:
Thats too harsh

... I suggest you say something encouraging or sweet because there are a lot of us that relate to what the OP is talking about.

MONEY247:
You get money ooo..
I don't even have upto seven thousand in my account.... really depressed the... prayed taya....


Sometimes I laugh at my self people think I am mad....
I usually pray I sleep and don't wake up...I do it everyday...

it's not easy sir... I pray you find a way to overcome..

I'm laughing hard because we're all in the same boat — which is very depressing

Handsome guy with an empty pocket

NBAjunior:
I’m a 22 year old male staying alone as at the time of making this post I have only 54 thousand naira in my account with no hope for the future…

I have no job, no friends, no girlfriend, I have no hope of getting money cuz the work I do is no more


My house rent is becoming due I don’t want to go back staying with my mom it would add more to my depression

Please I need a word of encouragement from you guys

I almost screamed when I saw 54k , you should see my own account balance.

Nevertheless, I'm in the same boat as you but 21, all you have to do is to endure and pass through this path full of thorns. It might seem like living in hell forever but you will overcome.

Get any job to keep you busy and start learning a digital skill...

oxiide22:
how much will you pay me?

Bro, you're a man but act like a b!tch. While going through ilegendd's threads before I started kdp, I saw your comments in almost all of his threads. All of them were unreasonable or basically you begging for money...

How can you enjoy posts like this for years and still choose to live like this?

JoeClefAuthor:
To partake in the Procrastination and Distraction ( P & D ) program, reply this with I'm interested.

I'm interested...


Mr. ilegendd, thank you. Although I got into kdp publishing, I have been unable to make a sale because i haven't mastered keyword and niche research. It's discouraging but I will never give up, I'm also going into buying and selling expired domain soon. Thank you.

iykepromotions:
where do you digged thus up? Days of early beginning in my domain journey.

Going through the beginning of others who have gone far in what I want to venture into, motivates me...

iykepromotions:
hahaha, this was when am still struggling to sell my first domain name. how time flies. $550 USD exchanged hands, before then, i was begging a nigerian to buy it any amount.

Interesting

iykepromotions:
On September 15th, I picked up an expired domain at N2,185 ($4.99 dollars), contacted several end users and resold it $499 exactly after 7 days after registration. $461 Dollars was paid after commissions. My exchanger paid me N144,080. Screenshot for those that may doubt.

Boss, is this business still profitable? I remember going through the other thread years ago as a teenager but I couldn't go into it because of my condition then. It was really painful.

dreamxhaser:
Okay, its not like I'm killing it big though. Just enough to sort my bills.

Let's connect via whatapp.

Also, can we specifically create a thread to beg obamartins for mentorship next year. He did something like this in 2023 January.

Most of the KDP gurus are no longer active including him.

If we can attract his attention, we he might help us out. I noticed he is a good man.

That's a good idea. Are you on telegram?

dreamxhaser:
Hello,!

Can we relate?

Started Amazon kdp in 2019. But I dumped it and focused on freelancing. Tbh freelance has been profitable but I now want passive income. Hence I am going back to kdp with full force this December.

I will like us to motivate each other.

I also tried to get into freelancing but couldn't go far because I felt I didn't have a marketable skill. Can you show me how it works?

Greenscientist:
There are two ways to searching for title to write;

1. Modelling for an already selling book

2. Using amazon search bar and suggestion expander.

Either of the two, there are two thing you should look out for;

1. Competition
2. Profitability - First 3-5 books BSR

For example, the new book i want to write hava a competiton of around 1000 and BSR of average 30k.

Thanks boss.

Thanks boss... I will check it out

Greenscientist:
Nothing special bro. I'm still a learner too.

I don't count words, but my book are usually above 100 pages on a Statement book size.

Why exactly am I doing wrong? You mean 100+ pages on a 5*8 book size? So, you just check out top books on a certain category and replicate?

Hmmm, anyhow, thanks.

I just downloaded Google Keep Notes and after a little research, I decided to use HabitNow as my accountability app.

This accountability app is flexible and cheap compared to others, the premium version is 3.999 Naira and you get access to it forever. It's easier to set goals like habits, tasks, and you don't even need to fill up any form because they already have your personal information as soon as you click on "install".

I'm looking forward to getting back to kdp publishing, programming, learning a new language, and another goal (which makes it 4). I'm going to take my time to write down my goals before I select my 2024 goals. As long as I am alive, I will live and not just exist!

iLegendd:
After you've done your research, tell me the accountability app you chose and why you chose it. The person with the best reason or best app gets a gift.

Thank you for this thread.

These days, I've been lazy and feeling hopeless. I will certainly do this, I don't like the fact that I haven't achieved that financial freedom through book publishing. This is because I've haven't mastered keyword and niche research, it breaks my heart I wouldn't be able to go see my mother after 5 years of being away from home.

I get scared every time it's a new year because something keeps telling me I am where I am today because I have not fully discovered whom I am. I didn't choose to be born but since I'm already on Earth, I want to truly love and not just exist but somehow, I feel like I'm a lazy bum even when I work hard like a donkey. But it's stupid and useless to work like a donkey and earn like a newbie beggar.

Thank you for threads like this, since I've being watching my laptop for weeks now but the motivation to open up msword vanishes as soon as the fact that I haven't mastered keyword and niche research hits me hard like an avalanche. I will overcome this phase but it feels like forever and I hate myself...

Sorry for the rant, everyone!

Oh boy, Black people keep giving aliens more excuses for colonization 2.0 . This is brutal and seems like a fact, good sir! I felt anger and frustration as I read through it.

iLegendd:
Lol. That entity is also compromised. Most Nigerians will never reach 99 years old. We are being cheated and not only that, we consume lots of expired and fake products.

I like how you've been enforcing some of my beliefs since your return — certainly, this country is unworkable.

I've been trying to make people understand how things like this work, but they're all engrossed in their own ways and understanding of the world. This is why the rest of the world look down on us with pride!

These days, I have been watching Korean Dramas like Jumong (I rarely watch movies) and I'm just full of pride and at the same time shame seeing how these guys proudly display and sell their culture to the world.

I've been able to catch few phrases and their meaning. If only Nollywood was making movies like this (just like the Chinese and Indians), instead of making low budget movies about "village witches".

But I digress, everything you wrote is 100 percent correct! Let me stop here before I go 'kamakaze' on black people.

Religion can unite or destroy — there's a high probability that it might do the latter to humanity.

evb2000:
This trend is for those who genuinely went into kdp to write and publish their intellectual works and are finding it difficult to scale. It is not for those who purchased those fake courses flying around on facebook and twitter and want to hammer overnight.

I have been writing and publishing on amazon for a while have been getting so much mentions, and emails from followers of my japa diary. I have decided to dedicate one week to answer some questions. Just one week, so you can drop your questions.

No one should DM me, i won't respond. So, now is the time to ask your questions.

Hello boss.


I'm a fan of your diary, please how can I master keyword and niche research manually? I can't afford these softwares that make kdp publishing easier...

I'm really trying to use kdp to save myself from this storm before it sweeps me away but being unable to understand how keyword and niche research makes me depressed.

SweetBuns:
You're NOT NwaAmaikpe

Huh?

Greenscientist:
.

Bro, please how do you do your keyword and niche research? And how many words do your books normally contain? I follow your diary

The great ilegendd! Indeed, the mind is a powerful weapon but nowadays, I've been stuck in stagnant waters and lost my purpose because of how I watched my neighbor die.

I've been unable to get back to writing, the only thing that give me purpose — the drive isn't there anymore, maybe because I haven't mastered keyword and niche research.

Shiver99:
Igbo goods were traded across modern day Nigeria and beyond and much like today Igbos were known in dealing with luxury and necessary household items.

For various parts of west Africa it wasn't uncommon to see Igbo cloth being traded. It was expensive and treated as luxury items. To the delta states it was a significant preserve of their elites and nobles. Igbo weavers worked with various textiles such as linen, cotton, barkcloth , silk, raffia, etc, etc...

A European traveller noted many civilians wearing this distinctive Igbo clothing in a town in modern day Northern Nigeria, but wasn't able to get a sample.

Some styles of Igbo cloth below.

Please what part of Igboland produced these fabrics? Some of the pictures I've seen had scantily dressed people or maybe it was their own style of dressing back then.

I really want to learn.
