The cold hard truth is that no matter what you do or don't do the income of a cyber cafe is limited to the number of hours in a day and you can never have more than 24 hours a day.
Thus if you have 20 computers in your cafe and you charge N100 per hour, all you can make is N48,000 in a day and the reality of course is that you will most likely NEVER make that as there will always be times when a computer or the other is free even if you open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Most Cafe's close shop after their first year in operation. Very few stay open for up to 5 years and I do not know ANY cyber cafe that was operating in 2003 that is still operating (I may be wrong).
There is lots of cashflow in cyber cafe business, but very little profit.
The are only two ways out:

1) Customise your browsing services
2) Add other services such that browsing pulls in less than 5% of your income. Services like Training, E-Commerce services, Web Hosting & Development, Computer Sales, Ebay services, Information products distribution, Online & Merchant Payment services.

Does anyone know where I can get tapes of Gospel singers-Lorine Okotie and Ori Okori ?

Ori Okori released an album in 1989 or 1990 (when I was in JS2/JS3) .She used to attend the only RCCG in Victoria Island that used to meet at Engineering Close in the early 90's.She also used to sing at the Redemption Camp during the Holy Ghost nights.

Lorine Okotie is the sister of Rev Chris Okotie and released her album in 1990 with tracks like "Jesus I love You"

If you have a copy of the songs of either of these singers, I will be more than happy to pay whatever you want for the tapes. Or if you know where I can get them.

Thanks.

Mail tundecraig99@yahoo.com  or click on the link at the top of the homepage (that says---LAPTOPS FOR URGENT SALE TODAY-N25K EACH-CLICK HERE) at www.ebaynigeria.com If the link is no longer there,then the laptops have been sold.

Neikid-
1) Google will send you cheques at the address you used when you regsitered your account.You can process your cheques with any bank in Nigeria using a domicillary account.
2) When you opened your account, you were given an online account with Google.Login to this with your email and password you chose and you can view how much you have earned in a day, week or any time frame you choose.You will also be able to know how many clicks you had, page impressions, etc.

While there was mass hysteria concerning Y2K, rememeber there was also mass preparation. The vast majority of people with computers were prepared and corrected what needed to be done.
The chaos was largely prevented, because every sensitive agency ( traffic lights, the military, power supply, etc) had made all the neccessry changes long before Jan 1 2000.If they had not, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN CHAOS, and many machines would have ceased to work or worked in the wrong way.

While Dr Emeagwali may not be the greatest computer scientist of our time, he is certainly an eminent scientist who has made achievements that are worthy of note.

Please also note that while the IQ of a genius starts at 160, Dr Emeagwali's IQ is 190. Bill Gates has an IQ score of 160.

As far as I know, that article by Time was and is correct.

alcophonsu & asiri-guy
What exactly are you involved in Adsense or Adwords.I ask this because you mentioned something about advertising on Google.

THE BASICS
1)Google Adwords
Google Adwords allows people to advertise on google.com ( probally the website with the highest number of visits along with yahoo.com) When people search for anything on Google, your advert will come up if it has to do with their search.E.G. If someone does a search for "vaction in Africa", or " Making Money" or "Laptops" your ad will come up if you selected that phrase as one of your keywords for your adwords campaign. If more than one person selected any of those keywords, then the adverts will come out with preference for the highest bidder. That is why when you search on Google, you see that there are only ten adwords adverts to your right, the others are on the next pages.

Google Adwords is a cheap way and fast way to advertise your services and products and get people to come to your website.

2)Google Adsense
When Google saw that more and more people were demanding its Adwords service, it decided to place some of the adverts on other people's website in exchange for a fee.
Thus if you have a website, you can apply to Google and it will place adverts on your website that have to do with the content on your site. When anyone clicks those ads, you get to earn money.

Maximising Adsense
Don't expect Adsense to make you millions of naira, but you can expect to earn from $20-$200 every month on the average if you have a website with frequent visitors. And if you have solid traffic, you just might be able to expect revenues of over $1000 a month.

Important Things to Note
i) To make money from adsense, you need to make sure people visit your website and keep coming back to it. That means your content must be attractive.
ii) Never click on the adverts on your site or ask people to do that for you.Google will find out -you wont get any money and you will be banned from ever using the service.
iii) Look for content that will bring in the right ads.Some ads can get you 5 cents a click and some ads can get you $5 a click.Of course 100 clicks of a 5 cent ad will give you $5, while 100 clicks of a $5 ad will get you $500.
iv) Most people involved in Google Adsense, have website simply because they want to earn money from Adsense.They end up not really making much money if anything. It makes more sense and you will make much more money, when your website has a purpose and design beyond just tapping into Adsense.
When you have a website that has its own purpose, adsense just serves as an addition.

Let me know if you have any questions.

P.S. I didnt proof read this, before posting-so accept my apologies if there are errors.

Interested in making money from selling laptops?
Have clients who you can sell laptops to quickly?

Then lets talk and do some business together.

We have access to a wide range of laptops and in some instances we get new laptops for as cheap as N48,000 ( cost price that is) and used Pentium M laptops for as cheap as N12,000. This is not always the case, but it happens on a regular basis.

We deal mostly based on price, thus when we buy what we consider is the end price we can sell to people.

If you are interested send an email now to tundecraig99@yahoo.com or if you live in Lagos, you can visit us at our Isolo office.

When sending a mail, please include the following information:
Name
Cell Phone
Location ( i.e. city you live in Nigeria)

That article was written over a year ago. At what point do we expect a correction from Time Magazine to its article on Dr Emeagwali? Its certainly not in the new edition that came out today Friday October 10th.

Time Magazine is regarded as the world's number 1 news magazine. This is a link to an article they wrote on him.Are we then to believe that Time didnt do its home work properly or they are lying?

Note the 2nd to last paragraph where it says:

"The discovery earned him the Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers' Gordon Bell Prize in 1989, considered the Nobel Prize of computing, and he was later hailed as one of the fathers of the Internet. "
