For a lot of Nigerians, becoming a published author would be a dream come true. Unfortunately, so many have not been lucky to have the coveted title either due to financial restraints or other issues which makes traditional publishing out of reach for them.

If you're one of these people, with platforms like Amazon Kindle, your dream of becoming a published author and sharing your ideas with the world is about to become a reality. And if you're wondering why I sound so sure about this, then maybe you should know that about five years ago, I was also in this same position, until I stumbled on Amazon's Kindle Publishing...

To cut the long story short, for me, Amazon was my life saver. It gave me my first shot to becoming a published author. It has also done same for a handful of young Nigerian authors and many others around the world. And if you're a fan of digital publishing, you could also publish your books on Amazon, FREE no matter your location.

The following are some reasons you may want to publish on Amazon.

1. Publishing on Amazon Kindle or ACX is free. You don’t pay anything before getting published.

2. No one asks you to wait for some time or provide any credentials before getting started. You or any internet John Doe can get published on amazon whether you just wrote your first ever article today or you’ve been writing for a millennium.

3. Publishing on amazon is fast and simple. It takes approximately less than 30 minutes to get your book published on the amazon platform.

And it’s so easy that even a non-techie person can upload his books and get published in minutes.

4. It takes just a maximum of 72 hours to get your published book live on Kindle and accessible to people all over the world right there on amazon.

5. Make money. Yes! Make up to 70 percent royalty on amazon when people buy your books. Earn some money when people borrow your books.

6. Update your books anytime notwithstanding the fact that it’s already been published.

7. Fix your selling price at any amount you feel like and publish in digital format, print copy or audio format.

8. Free traffic and ready to buy audience to market your books. (especially when you use appropriate keywords).

I can go ahead and list out the many benefits of publishing with amazon but taking a look at these ones I’ve mentioned here, let me ask you some honest question here, who doesn’t want to get published on amazon?

Have you come across any one? I doubt if you have. Because we all want to publish our books.

I mean you and me. Yeah. We don’t just want to write for our local audience we want to gather our thoughts together and have it read by people around the world. You want your name to be written behind a book. And I understand that perfectly.

Of course you and I know that waiting for that local publisher around here will not help you one bit. Because they don’t know you. I mean you’re not some Bishop Oyedepo, Rev. Sam Adeyemi, JK Rowling, Stephen King or even Seth Godin. So why should they care?

That your publisher friend is after his maximum gains. So he’s definitely going to hunt for established names that will bring him more money… And this is not some personal beef. It’s a business strategy.

That’s why you must read this complete guide to publishing on Amazon, if you’re ready to get your book from an idea to a collection of thoughts that will boost your brand and pay your bills.

Step by step process on how to publish on Amazon as a Nigerian

Okay. So in today’s tutorial, I’ll be focused on publishing a digital book or what we call an eBook on Amazon.

So the platform used for publishing ebooks on amazon is the Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP).

The KDP from Amazon is divided into two, the basic Kindle Direct Publishing and Kindle Direct publishing Select.

These two programs will give you the chance to publish your books to millions of Kindle users but they are a bit different.

One only allows you to publish on Amazon while the other still gives you the chance to publish both on Amazon and any other platform you’d want.

You see while self publishing on your website is a great thing to do (if you have one), gaining access to the massive audience on Amazon is even a greater reason to publish on in there…

So let’s check out the step by step process for publishing on amazon below…

1. Write and finalize your book. [/b]The first thing you’ll want to do before publishing is writing down your ideas. And putting everything in proper shape.

You’ll not want to be perceived as an incompetent author so you’ll want to edit your books and fix all the typos completely before getting ready to publish on amazon.

[b]2. Create an account on Kindle. Head over and create your publishing account on kdp.amazon.com. Giving them all the necessary details.

3. Format the book to meet digital publishing standards. Since we’ll be focusing on digital publishing here, your formatting should also be done in a way that complies with Amazon publishing guidelines.

That’s because the layout and format of an eBook is not going to be the same with that of a print copy because of the platform it’s going to be read with.

Also, if you’re writing your book on a Microsoft word processor, you’ll have to re-format it so it can be properly displayed on the electronic reader.

Read details formatting requirements for publishing on Amazon here (https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G200645680)

4. Choose a preferred plan between Kindle Direct Publishing Select (KDP Select) and Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP).

Although Both programs connect you with millions of Kindle users around the world. KDP select allows you to publish exclusively on the Amazon kindle platform…

This means that If you choose to publish on KDP select, your books can only be made available on amazon stores alone. You can’t publish it on any other online book store..

Also if your book is available for free or pre-order on any other platform, it is not eligible to be published on the KDP select program.

On the other hand, if you’re settling for the ordinary Kindle Direct Publishing, you can also publish your book elsewhere including your website and any other retail platform of your choice.

Alright.

So you ask yourself, which publishing program should I choose between Kindle Direct Publishing and KDP select?

Well, there’s actually no wrong or right choices here.

If you want to publish on Amazon and other online publishing platforms, then you should go for the normal KDP.

Although when you choose this program, you will not have access to most of the free Amazon promotional services for publishers but you will be able to publish on any other platform you’d want.

On the other hand, in a situation where you want to publish exclusively on Amazon, and use the promotional services among other few benefits, then the KDP select program is the best way to go.

Another thing you should note as you get set to publish on Amazon is that if you’re settling for the KDP select, you can still promote your books on other platforms even when you can only sell it on amazon.

And the goodnews about the KDP select is that you can opt out of the program after 90 days.

This gives you the chance to publish your books elsewhere. Although you’ll also give up the benefits that comes with KDP Select the moment you opt to publish elsewhere.

5. Adding/Listing your book on KDP. From your dashboard area in your KDP account, where there are certain forms you’ll have to fill and add some details about your book, before uploading it.

Right on your book shelf (still within your account), select + kindle eBook.

Next, you’ll be prompted to enter your book details. This should include the name of your book, title, short description etc.

You’ll also need to categorize your book in a way that will help you reach your exact target audience by selecting the right category based on your book's genre and topic and also, adding the keywords that will be most likely used when people are searching for your kind of books on Amazon.

* Also, to gain some decent visibility for your book in Amazon search engine, be sure to Include your target keywords in your short description. Extend this to the description for your book in Amazon's author central.

Be sure to pay close attention to this aspect of the listing process because this will to a large extent decide the success of your book.

Also if you’re not very conversant with this, you can get an experienced friend or expert’s help.

6. Create your book cover. After filling out the listing, you’ll have to create a book cover for your work or upload a pre-made copy if you have any,

If you don’t have any cover designed for your work, the KDP platform can guide you as you create one for your book right on the platform.

Otherwise you can use a free platform like Canvas to design some cool book cover from pre-designed templates or get one for 5 dollars over at Fiverr.com, or get the services of a graphics designer for your book cover.

If you're engaging an external graphics designer, you should note that for best quality, Amazon requires your cover design's Height/Width ratio to be fixed at 1:6. Be sure your design falls within those limits.

Also, make your cover design catchy and attractive to potential buyers. And well illustrative of the content of your book.

7. Upload your book on Amazon. Finally you’re done with adding all the necessary information on your about to be published book. Now it’s time to really upload it on Amazon.

Before we continue, note that Amazon accepts only the following document formats, Doc, PDF, HTML, MOBI.

Also, for me personally, I prefer you upload your books in the PDF format. It helps in keeping your book's interior design and styling intact. Although Amazon prefers you keep your book in the word format for ease of formatting.

Now, to upload your finished book, click on “browse” and you’ll be taken to your device (computer or smart device) where you’ll begin the uploading process.

When you’re done, use the “preview function” to preview your book, see what it will look like on different devices when it’s being read and then make adjustments as appropriate.

After you’re satisfied with the preview of your yet to be published book, you can now settle on a price, taking into account, the depth of the information you’re passing across, your audience, it’s marketability, etc.

Once you’re done fixing your pricing, you can now click on "publish" and then your book will be forwarded to the Kindle Direct Publishing Team.
Usually, it will take a maximum of 72 hours for your book to be reviewed and uploaded for purchase on Amazon.

Now before your book is uploaded, you can use the time to create promos for the book and get the word out even before it’s live on amazon. There are more tips on how to style and promote your book on the second link below.

You should note that details for publishing a Paperback on Amazon is slightly different from this especially when it comes to choosing your book's size and cover details. Your book cover for instance has to meet their specifications before it can be published. Outside these, the whole process is quite similar for both e-books and paperback.

Alright. So, there you have it; your complete guide on how to publish on Amazon from Nigeria. I hope with this guide, you’ve been able to learn a lot on how to publish on amazon?

AirFireEarthH20:
Election is very close. Get ready to see more Chukwus, Obinnas, Edets, Okons etc, being appointed into irrelevant positions and media praising and dancing about it. Also get ready to hear media makes loud and loud noise about corruption in previous government and people returning imaginary trillions of naira everyday .


They can only deceive the gullibles

You see well jare

One must be extremely careful with information stored on phones

You've been wondering why most people don't subscribe to your email even when you're making huge free offers? This is the best answer you'll ever get.

Yes! And first of all, you have to understand, you're not alone at all.
Most digital marketers are in your shoes. And of course it's not out of place.

For a culture that expects more and more digital freebies handed out from the free (internet) world, you should expect they’ll gladly thank you for every little free gift sent their way…

Especially during festive periods.

But No! This is not to be. You think I’m not smart they say.

Instead of grabbing your free stuff with two hands, they have their eyes opened to screen every little thing you send their way.
Lest they don’t give you something bigger in return for the freebies.

Something as cool as their freedom from receiving unwanted emails.

So like the German shepherd dog, they sniff every gift you send down their feeds, looking for unusual tricks that will expose them to undue disadvantage.

At the slightest idea about anything sleazy, they dump your sales (gift) pitch in the nearest virtual trash bin. Right in their feeds.

Can you just stop it?

Can you start making them eat their cake and have it instead?

They can smell it from afar. Whenever you send that half hearted update through your blog and social media feeds, they can smell your insincerity and the fact that you’re all in for getting something from them.

So can you make your freebies a bit more beautifully selfless?

Can you evolve something like a giveaway without any strings attached?

These were the line of thought that went through my mind just as i read one promotional post about a Christmas giveaway from a marketer.

As i went through the sales message, i wondered how many people will really feel excited giving out their emails in return for some unknown Christmas freebies.

Because for one, i wouldn’t try that. Buy me something better! I am not interested in some Greek gift.

You know your audience is becoming more sophisticated. They’ve had enough spam messages in their inbox to last for a lifetime so they are already averse to submitting their emails for more unsolicited messages.

As a smart digital marketer, getting more email subscribers in exchange for freebies is a great way to grow your sales. I know.
But you’ll have to do more than request for something in return for everything you do for your audience …Because everyone wants to eat their cakes and have it!

Accepted you’re in business. By right, you have to earn from what you do.

Yes! It’s a bit unfortunate because when it comes to the business world, what you earn as a digital hustler is directly proportional to how much you can make your audience see what they will earn.

You can only really gain after you’re able to convince your audience on what they can gain. That’s why your audience’s self interest has to precede yours if you’re ever going to buy them over.

So Stop selling. Start giving!

It doesn’t matter how beautiful it is. You can give that free stuff totally without strings attached, every once in a while.
This doesn’t mean you have to keep giving free things every now and then.

It means every once in a while, you have to let your tribe realize it’s not all about you and the stuff you’re selling to them.

Let them see you really care. Let them have a feel of your magnanimity. And they’ll be your best advocates.

It doesn’t have to get to everyone. Package it in excellent shape. Get it to the ones you can but… Make it genuinely FREE!

And then even when you sell, you have to let them see how they can eat their cake and have it without much effort.

Wishing you all the best in your hustle.

Doerstech:

eodavids:
Am interested.
I really need your coaching so I will create an educational niche here in Nigeria. But can you elaborate further for me, especially on the step-by step procedure?

Thanks a lot!

Send me an email let's talk.
ask victor winners at gmail dot com.

Are you a coach or someone that loves teaching people stuff?

Here's Goodnews for you!

Starting an educational blog in Nigeria that helps you reach out to your audience directly is not only a good thing to do, it's one of the best decision you'll make as a blogger.

Reason is because not only is the educational niche one of the most diversified blogging niches, every single day, there are virgin areas cropping up all over the place in the educational niche.

So as an edu blogger, you have so many options to choose from.

And it doesn't just stop there, here in Nigeria and Africa per se, the educational niche is one of the most under-utilized niches in the blogosphere.

Many people are yet to go in there because it looks less lucrative compared to Entertainment, Tech and other niche areas.

One good thing about starting out as an edu-blogger is that you don't really need to get some Professorial recognition or doctoral degree. All you need is share your expertise with people around the world.

And if done well, you could get to places so many people with doctoral degrees are yet to dream of.

On the contrary, All you need to start an educational blog in Nigeria or anywhere is...

1. Tushing up the necessary skills on the niche topic you choose,
2. Understanding your target market,
3. Getting a business plan and working up your brand…( Yes, you'll want to approach your blogging as business).

You can develop your content and kickstart your online educational website based on your expertise and experience with these steps I mentioned up there.

Yeah. it’s that simple.

In fact you can maintain a daily blog while including a full fledged academic website on the same domain.

It’s simple. To be honest, I think this is even the simplest way to evolve a successful academic website especially on a small scale.

So what kind of an educational blog should you start?

You can start an educational blog focused on any of the niche below…

1. Tips for doing well in school.
2. Tutorial blogs.
3. Blogs offering advice to campus students.
4. Blog to train students on specific subject areas.
etc.
5. Blog for advanced tips on specific scholarly areas...
It's almost unlimited. You can add whatever you want here.

Alright. So below are the step by step process that will help you set up your educational blog.


1. Decide on the niche: Besides those topics I listed up there, there are other niches you can settle for, depending on your goals and purpose of blogging.

So the first question to ask yourself here is why am I blogging?
What do I want to achieve with an educational blog?

If you can’t easily find a reason why you should set up your academic blog, you can ask yourself, is there a particular profitable need in the educational niche that I can fill?

In a situation you still want to go further, you can ask yourself;

Do I have a specific experience or training in this field that can add value to someone else’s life?

By the time you’ve genuinely answered this question, you’ll be able to find yourself a sustainable area where you can focus your educational blog.

2. Domain Name and Webhosting. The idea you come up with from step one above will then guide you as you go about choosing your domain name and web hosting account.

So supposing you want to focus on Writing tutorial for students from a particular institution, you will then choose a domain name that will reflect the niche area you’re focusing on.

This will help you when you’re creating a brand for your blog. And also for Search engine optimization purposes.

Again, the idea you came up with on step one will help you settle for a particular kind of web host.

Depending on the nature of the academic blog you’re looking at, you may decide to use a shared or dedicated hosting.

Also this will help you to decide where to host… If you’re going to use a well known hosting companies like Bluehost, Liquid Web, Smartweb etc or some local web host especially if you’re not doing something serious.

3. Installation. [/b]So after settling for your domain name and web hosting account, you can then move on to choosing a particular Content Management System for your blog.

Although there are a handful of CMS in existence today. And most of them are free to use. One of the most outstanding CMS is still WordPress.

So you can get over to wordpress.org, download the software and upload it on your web hosting account.

Or simply install it through the control panel from your web hosting account.

You can also Install the necessary addons and design your site exactly as you’ll like it.

There are a few walk-through tutorials that can help you through the process as you go about setting up your educational website.

Although if you find the learning curve difficult, you can get help from experts (like Victor Winners Digital) and have them help you set up the site in a few hours.

[b]4. How to promote your educational blog.

There are so many ways you can promote your educational blog and get the words out there both for your intending readers and clients.

One of the important ways of promoting your academic site is through content marketing, that is writing content relevant to the subject matter of your blog in such a way that drives repeat traffic to the site.

There are also many other ways including writing guest blog posts on other established sites.

As part of strategies for growing your educational blog you’ll also need a strong social media presence.

This doesn’t mean you have to be active across all major social media. Instead you can choose a few of those popular social media platform your target audience hangout.

There are also paid promotional services for blogs.

You can use these too. Ranging from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Google paid ads, you can choose a social media strategy that suits your blogging goals.
And then you can write a paid promotional post on an established blog with your target audience.

Alright. So like I said earlier, starting an educational blog is a great thing to do because the educational niche is not saturated at all.

There are so many sub niches where you can get to dominate in the educational niche based on your locality.

And you’re going to work! Because the success of your blog is going to depend on you.

With the above guideline, a realistic business plan and hard work on your part, i can assure you, you'll certainly evolve an educational blog that is not only recognized in Nigeria but other part of the world.

You’ve probably heard about Influencer marketing. Especially in the Nigerian online sphere.

So you’ve been asking yourself, what exactly is influencer marketing and why is it so trendy on the internet.

As a matter of answering the second part of your question, influencer marketing is now a trendy phrase on the internet because the internet has liberalised the marketing industry, giving people who previously didn’t have the chance, an opportunity to market to their target customers with almost zero capital. Yeah!

Ok. Before it looks like I’m talking above your head. This is what we're talking about...

Before the revolution of the digital era, people used to pay big media organisations (like the popular Punch Newspapers, AIT, Silverbird etc) so they can get to market their products to their target audience.

Right now with the influence of digital and social media, ordinary people like you and I can now command as much influence as the media.

Yeah. And when I’m talking about this, I’m sure you remember those actors, musicians, super star bloggers and internet personalities right?
If i should mention names maybe ii could mention the Omojuwas, the Linda Ikeji, etc of these world. And even you (yeah, if you got some influence you're using rightly)

These guys are now replacing the almighty media organizations little by little.

So what’s that got to do with influencer marketing you ask?

This is it...

Influencer marketing is a situation where marketers leverage the influence of popular personalities to market their product to their target audience.

These personalities can exist either online or offline. Though we’ll be focusing on the online influencer marketing in this post.

How’s influencer marketing done?

Influencer marketing is what happens when you reach out to people/celebrities (who command a certain level of influence in an industry you’re targeting) to promote your work, books, products/services or share it with their audience.

Why do people engage influencers?

People engage influencers to market their product because these influencers command some good standing in the industry.

Because of the personality and trust they’ve built with their personal brand, people trust them and can make buying decision based on their recommendations.

So with this in mind, marketers needing to reach their kind of audience can now target these influencers with the hope that if they (influencer) recommend their product or services, it would be more easier for the audience to buy the product.

So is influencer marketing taking over marketing?

You can’t pointedly say an influencer or a celebrity is going to entirely determine what people buy or what they don’t.

Of course they have the persuasive power, the audience and the brand image that can command action, based on their strong brands. And they are make serious inroads especially when it comes to digital marketing.

On the other hand, one thing you have to understand when it comes to influencer marketing is that majority of their impact is based on the audience they have so that means as a digital marketer, you may be limited to your influencer’s audience.

This is why for instance if your product is targeting a religious sect like Islam it would be absurd to engage a Pastor just because he’s highly influential.

Comparing this with mainstream digital marketing like using Google ads for instance, you can reach as many new audience as your marketing capital can afford based on the particular keywords.

Again, when it comes to influencer marketing, you can contact as many influencers as you want. Their audience and endorsement can really boost your marketing efforts.

So that’s it about influencer marketing. It helps you helps you leverage other people’s established influence to kick start your marketing without having to labour from the scratch.

Before we call it a day anyway, I want you to understand that for this kind of marketing to be effective, you have to be able to choose the right influencer so you can reach out to the right audience.

Without that, it might be really difficult to break even with your product.

Although influencer marketing is relatively new in Nigeria, a few people are catching up with it. You can get on the bandwaggon and establish your brand before the niche gets saturated.

Have you experienced influencer marketing before?

Let’s hear you…

Hey Nairalanders, it's your fav blogging coach Victor Winners.

So today we're going to be talking about why you should own a blog, if you're a writer.

Of course, we're all familiar with the importance of having a blog especially when it comes to establishing your brand as a writer.

Now, as a newbie writer you might say...

Oh forget it Vick. Blogging as an amateur writer is not worth the try. I have a Facebook account and i will publish my stuff there. After all I'm not making any kobo with writing so why bother.

You know what? Today, we're going to bust these myths.

And yes, the first thing you should know is that having a writer's website or blog doesn't necessarily have to cost you a dime.

Okay, let's pause here a bit.

I was just discussing with my friend Chukwuemeka some days back then he suddenly asked me, can you tell me the long and short term benefits of blogging please?

And then i was like, really? Benefits of blogging?

Here I was. I never thought about individual benefits of blogging in a long while though I was enjoying it. So I didn’t give him an answer instantly.

After some minutes, I was like, what’s actually the benefit of blogging?

Of course you can't invest in something you're not benefiting from, can you?

Like i asked myself, I’m also asking you, what’s the benefits of blogging and why should you even bother yourself becoming a renowned blogger even when you’re already a writer?

Well, you don’t really have to answer that question because I’ve done that for you already.

Below are the benefits of blogging as a writer and a list of 12 Reasons Every writer Should Own A Blog. Enjoy.


Long term benefit of having a writer’s blog.

1.You can make a business out of your blog. You’ve probably come across writers that have a huge platform on the internet right?

Can you think of why they built those platforms or what they are doing with it?

Actually you don’t have to bother your head thinking so much. Writers blog because they want to set up an online platform to expand their influence and take their craft to the next level.

So you tell yourself… I’m also an established writer. But, how can i also enhance my craft or even grow my influence on the internet. How?

And i tell you…

Get a blog. Write content on a particular topic you know a lot about. The better the depth quality of content you write, the more people see you as an expert that can fix their issues.

The more you’re seen as expert, the more they share your posts (because it’s worth sharing) and tell other people about you. With this more people get to know and recognize your brand.

Over time, they recommend you to others who then bring their problem to you so you can help solve it for them.

The more problem you solve, the more you smile to the bank. I’m sure no business beats this.

2. Publish your book and promote on your blog. Yes you read that right. As a writer, it’s possible you’ve written a book already or you’ll one day write a book.

And err… It’s not just books I’m talking about here. You could have ideas about products too. Or even services, inventions, innovations etc.

You can also promote all these things on your blog instantly.

I’ve seen a lot of blog and websites designed solely for the purpose of promoting one of these. In fact the four hour work week by Tim Ferris is a classic example of this system.

The site is basically used to promote his book, the 24 hour work day. And so many people have come to know about the book because of the blog.

Besides Tim, Jack Canfield, Rick Warren and many others are also promoting their other products and services right on their writer’s blog. And why shouldn’t you?

3. Blog to improve your writing skills or establish yourself thought leader in whatever field of expertise you’re good at.

Everyone sees a writer with a blog as someone that’s a bit advanced in their writing. Of course this is not necessarily true in all cases. But that’s what comes to mind most often.

And you know what?… As a writer with your own blog, you can even be even more popular than most published authors if you know your onions.

Because unlike an author who doesn’t have a blog, you won’t have to depend on the people in your locality to know about your books.

With your blog, you can take your destiny in your hands. Market your books. Get the word out about it. And share your story with people all around the world.

You can do all this right on your blog, in your room, your kitchen or anywhere you’d want to, without placing a call on anyone.

And besides blogging, you can publish series of articles on your blog and have them collected together as books whenever you feel like.

4. You can blog to promote an offline business. For instance as an educational consultant, let’s say you’re into helping young adults get admitted into A-list universities.

You can offer solutions on how to get started, how to perform well in University Matriculation Exams and so on then inform readers you’re available for further paid assistance in your contact or services page like this (link to your services).

Trust me everyone love free things but the more quality solutions you offer, the more they will most likely come back to you for your paid services or recommend you to others when they need further help.

So many digital entrepreneurs like Neil Patel use this approach.

5. Blog to expand your influence. Unlike your fb account, a blog gives you access to millions of people on the web and all over the world to read your content.

If you’re a politician, an activist or even the guy next door. This is one way to build influence, large follower ship, and change the world.

For instance, my site VictorWinners.com was read by over 370,000 people, from more than 126 countries as at 1st May 2016 (when i first wrote this post) And the number is growing still.

Your ability to influence people from different countries, tribes, religious groups, right from the corner of your room is worth a hundred books that could only be published and sold in your local community.

6. Make passive income promoting or recommending other people stuff on your blogs: when you own a blog as a writer, you can also promote products, books etc from other writers like you, including your friends and even people you don’t know.

And they will pay you for it when your readers buy the products following through your blog.

Now the interesting thing about this is that you don’t have to do anything actively. You just use links to the products on your blog posts or write a review about the products, then share it with your friends. That’s all.

7. Your writer’s blog helps you get instant feedback. Unlike an author without a blog who has to wait for months or even years after publishing so he can get feedback.

With your writing blog, you get instant feedback from readers in the comments section of your post, whenever you try different writing styles, or new ideas.

You can use this to test run your stuff so you can get instant reaction from readers then make adjustment where necessary until you get what you’re comfortable with.

8. Establish yourself as an expert in your field: Like I said earlier, you may not gain attention just because you own another blog out there on a particular industry but overtime, as you keep publishing quality and helpful content, people will begin to see you as the expert and go to person for consulting deals, advice and interviews.

I’m sure you’ve heard about outstanding bloggers like Daren Rowse, Jon Morrow etc… These guys are world known experts in copyblogging and blog traffic respectively. All thanks to their blogs.

Short Term Benefits of opening a writer’s blog.

9. Improved credibility: As someone writing on the internet, there are certain things you’ll have to learn before you can blog successfully.

Learning these things will improve your writing skills. And in the long run your confidence will grow just as you build up your brand and credibility.

Because you have a larger audience and both Google to please, you will research and write better high value content so your blog can rank higher on search engines.

This will not only boost your blog, it will enhance your brand. With time you can also use your blog as some portfolio of sort.

10. Become Online Guru: Like i mentioned earlier, When you set up your writer’s blog, you will learn skills that will help you manage your blog.

As time goes on, you will become more internet savvy as you will get more experience on how to make the internet work for you and your business.

Personally, I’ve learned so much since I became a blogger. From graphics to website designing, content marketing and then search engine optimization, I’ve learnt 101 skills through blogging, in the process of seeking improvement. And I’m sure you’ll learn so much more.

11. Your blog will give you more liberty to express yourself. Express Yourself. Let me confess. So many things I couldn’t say on my social media platform, I found my blog a more better place to share it.

Why? Because my blog readers are much more diverse and different people.

When i first got my blog back then, i began to write and express myself with more liberty. Because i was like, Ok fine, my close friends and family may not even read this so what? And even if they do? It’s my blog!

Seriously, if you’re a writer that’s always scared of saying your mind either because you feel someone will report your Facebook post and get it down, then you really need to start a blog.

Because when you do, your blog will always be yours. No one will be able to report your write ups to anyone or even question your right to express your opinion. And no one will take down your blog posts.

I learnt to write and express my thoughts with more confidence. So much so that this confidence began to be felt even in my social media posts.

[b]12. Your writer’s blog gives you the chance to change many lives even from your little corner of the world.[/b]If you’ve been passionate about changing lives through your posts then owning a blog is one of the best things to do.

Because just like what I’m doing here, every quality post you write about will be able to change other people’s lives and help them in ways you may never know. Yes.

I have had people call, send emails etc to thank me for my articles, telling me how it changed their lives. And this is something you can do as well.

So these are just 12 of the 101 reason every writer should own a writer’s blog.

Do you have any other reasons why writers should open a writer’s blog? Share with us.

Do you need help setting up a blog as a writer? Let’s help you.

You’re the “boss lady” when it comes to fashion.

You know all the colour combination that works.

Your friends consult you whenever they have an occasion. And recently you’ve been thinking of reaching a wider audience with your fashion skills…

Right now, you’re a bit confused because you feel it’s not really possible to set up some fashion empire. I mean, how can you ever start your fashion label right now.

Of course you don’t have that steep capital to build up the next Versace, Gucci or the Armani’s of this world.

And I perfectly agree with you on this.

On a second thought really, there are so many successful fashion icons in Nigeria today like the Sayedero Enitan Of this world who started out as personal style bloggers and went on to be featured on international media like CNN.

Besides, according to a report by Huffington Post. So many smaller clothing lines have turned to bloggers to spread the words about their clothes. And here in Nigeria, this niche is largely untouched.

So let’s assume your market is already set up waiting for you to play the game and make your fashion blog the next successful blog. You get what I’m talking about right?

Now below are the step by step process you’ll need to start a successful fashion blogging career.

Set up a Plan: People usually say, “if you fail to plan, you’re planning to fail”.

I don’t really have to agree or disagree with the wise saying because I know you know the truth.

The only thing is, sometimes I wonder why someone will expect that success would just fall on them by chance…

Because it if it did, so many people would be successful by now.

So since success doesn’t happen by chance, you have to start your fashion blog with success in mind.

You have to ask yourself, what exactly are other fashion bloggers doing that’s making them successful?

Is there anything that’s unique about my fashion sense?

How can I develop on that and make it stand out as my unique selling point (USP)?

When you find this, you can then go ahead and develop a brand for your fashion blog around your unique selling point.

Get a domain name and web hosting: After finding out your USP, it’s now time to go settle for a domain name.

Now, your domain name should not just be anything catchy, choose it in such a way that it projects your brand and USP and your readers will be able to know what your fashion blog is all about without much stress.

Next, get over to a web hosting company and check if the domain name is available.

Once you find out it’s available, place an order for the domain name and obtain your web hosting plan as it suits your budget.

You can get both domain and web hosting at a single spot from reliable web hosting companies like Smart Web.

Just as your domain name is activated, get over to wordpress and set up your fashion blog.

Yeah. And because wordpress is the most popular and easiest to use platform, you’ll get to understand and use it without much stress after the blog is set up.

Although setting up your blog on wordpress could be a bit technical, you could read up tips like this or get professionals to help you set up your website and also train you on blogging like a pro.

The next thing after this is to decide what kind of post you want to update on your blog and how often you will be updating it.

After you settle on this too, begin writing blog posts in advance.

Writing blog posts in advance will help you publish on the specified dates without fail. And before you run out of the prewritten post, you would have already come up with ideas for new posts.

How to make your fashion blog stand out: If there’s one thing that will decide the success or failure of your blog, it’s going to be your originality.

Most fashion bloggers blog basically about their personal style. That’s why most times these fashion blogs are regarded as personal style blogs.

So here is the time to bring your USP into play like we mentioned earlier.

Blog about your personal style. Be creative and innovative about the pictures you’re going to be sharing including the inspiration behind it.

If you were inspired to create a local style by another trending or popular fashion, tell your readers about it. And show them how it can be done exactly like you did it.

Write about famous celebrity styles: [/b]Naturally, so many people see celebrities like their role models.

And because of this some of the celebrity fans want to dress like them, be like them or even act like them. You can take up the job of satisfying this cravings by writing about celebrities and their fashion sense.

Since there’s perhaps so many other bloggers writing about these celebrites, you can Share those beautiful pictures of them from a different angle and tell a whole new narrative about it.

[b]How to get readers for your new fashion blog: It’s starting out on any new project, you’ll have to tell people about it before they get to know about it.

So for you to have readers for your blog, you have to go where your readers will be found and tell them about your fashion blog in a language they’ll want to hear.

Here’s what I’m talking about…

When it comes to fashion, the number one go to place for finding readers is the social media.

And your best social media if you’re a fashion blogger is going to be Instagram.

So you’ll have to get over and be active on the platform.

Update beautifully engaging pictures (just as you’re updating your blog and use the right tags whenever you’re making a post.

Also, don’t forget to include a link to your blog on your profile.

Set up a platform on Pinterest and put up your pins right there on the popular boards too.

Follow a blogging schedule and write regularly… Be posting quality and inspiring stuff on your blog at a regular interval.

Some fashion bloggers make more than one post in a day, others settle for 5, 4 or less in a week, choose a posting schedule that will favour you and stick to it.

How to make money with a fashion blog: Okay. So we all understand that one of the most important reasons why fashion enthusiasts open a blog is because they are passionate about taking their passion to a wider audience.

Now besides being a hubby fashion blogger, you can also become a professional, monetize and earn from your blog.

So how do you monetize your fashion blog?

Sponsored posts: Write about your favourite fashion items, how they are affecting you and how you’re using it.

Yes this could be you sharing honestly about what you use with your readers. And it can also be your review post which you get paid for.

Affilates: Yes affiliate! When it comes to fashion blogging, using affiliate ads means so much more than getting mere links.

With fashion affiliates, you can blog about the particular brand you want to promote after getting the product.

For instance if it’s a handbag, you can get the bag from the affiliate, dress up with it, take photographs, update an inspiring blog post about it and post it on your blog with a link to to the affiliate product.

Now, you’ll make money when someone makes a purchase through your link or per click on the link.

You can get affiliate products from international sites like commission Junction (Now CJ), Google adsense, Shopstylecollectives, Amazon etc.

You can as well apply for affiliate programs from other smaller websites.

Collaborate with other brands: Once you keep updating great stuff with a handful of readers, brands will be hooking you to get featured on your blog.

Before then, you can include a separate page on your blog, a contact email and a notice about your readiness to collaborate and feature brands on your blog including all details.

Do you have a fashion product as well? Promote it on your blog.

It doesn’t have to be all about your dresses, you could include other fashion accessories like your private jewellery, home made perfumes, beauty products etc.

Now there are so many other ways to make money out of your blog and your brand as a fashion blogger but this list is a good place to get started with.

So now up there is a complete guide that can help you build up the next most successful fashion blog.

But, if you’re not going to get started today, nothing’s going to happen.

And as you’re embarking on this, remember it’s going to take effort and time but in the end, it won’t only be rewarding you’ll have a handful to teach others.

Wow! This is awesome.
It's not that we don't have great ideas in this country, most of the time, we prefer to focus on the problem forgetting that every problem carries within it, a seed of solution that will give someone some breakthrough.

Bravo my friend. We need more of this.

Gallant Soldier. May his soul rest in peace.

One beautiful thing about music lovers is that we're so passionate... And not just that, we're damn expressive.

Music is not only like a way of life or some sort of soothing balm to us, it's become like a culture we really want to share with other people including our friends and family.

Now if you're as this drawn to music like myself and so many others then let me inform you, you can't only make music and share it with as many people as you want, with a single blog, you can now make music, share other people's songs and even make some good income owning a successful music blog.

And if you’re still doubtful about that then this complete guide on how to start a successful music blog is for you.

Okay. So I’ve been asked this again and again, Victor how can i upload my video online.

How can i promote my song on your blog. And how can i get my podcasts to many people out there.

So many people don’t realize it’s now possible to get your music, audio or even videos out there or help others get theirs done too and even get paid in return.

Yes. You can own a rock star music blog.

Besides the side benefits of owning a music blog in Nigeria like getting free songs before they are even released, getting to hangout with artists in some cases and perhaps earning a free pass for shows, you can also make money from your music blog or use it to launch a musical career if you want.

Of course there are already so many successful music blogs in Nigeria like Not Just Ok Dot Com, mp3 bullet dot ng among many other successful blogs for music and videos around the world.

Also, if you're a music artist i think it’s unusual for you not to have a music website…

Because if not for the fact that it can hurt your brand, you won’t have a personal platform where your fans can connect with you and get your stuff.

And even if you’re a fan of good music, you can have a collection of your favorite kinda songs all around the world on your blog, bring like minds together and create a business out of your passion in the process.

So having a music blog is something important. And trust me it’s not cut in stone. It’s very simple to get your music blog up and running.

Maintaining it may be the other part that needs some more work but having your music blog all set up gets you half way through the work.

So here we go… How to start a music blog in 60 minutes.

[b]Fix the preliminaries: [/b]Looking at starting a music blog, you’ll first want to get done with the preliminary.

The preliminaries include the general things any business man would ask himself before setting up his business. Because you will have to take on blogging as a serious business too.

So you’ll get to ask yourself all this, questions like, why do i want to do this?

Is there really a need for setting up a blog in the music niche? Are there people doing this in my geographic location?

If so, is this niche saturated already? Is there a specific kind of music i should focus on.

These questions will give you a clue about what’s in the whole thing. And you’ll be able to find your feet.

[b]Write a business plan: [/b]After that, you’ll have to move on to writing your business plan. Yes. Because for every successful business you’ll need a plan that will set out the specific goals you need achieve at specific intervals and how you’re going to achieve those goals.

Your Music blogging plan should also contain strategies from launching your blog to making your first bucks from the website.

It should also include a step by step approach you’ll use in growing your blog and achieving your dreams generally at every single time frame.

Now this takes us to the next segment…

Branding : This is where the next segment in planning your music blog begins. Branding has to do with creating a unique name and perceptive image for your music blog in the mind eyes of your readers.

Ok let’s be a bit more specific. You’ve probably heard about big company names like Coca-Cola, Forbes, Apples etc right?

What comes to your mind when you hear about such companies? Is it about their products, the taste or the way the company relates with their customers?

Now this feeling is what you’ll aim to create with your music blog as a brand.

You’ll have to create a particular brand for your music website in a way that whenever people hear about your blog, the brand image comes to mind.

So creating a brand for your music website starts with positioning your music blog for the particular kind of music you want to share up there…

You can start with asking yourself… What genre of music do i want to focus on?

Is it oldies, contemporary? Hip Hop, RnB, Blues, or all of the above? Find out the exact kind of music you’ll want your blog to be known for.

Sometimes the kind of music on your blog can determine or influence the domain name you’ll use for the music blog.

Because for instance if you’re looking at targeting a particular regional kind of music on your blog, let’s say African Gospel songs for instance, you might want to find a way to include the branding in your domain name.

Also, you’ll think up plans to design your music website to reflect the brand especially in terms of usability.

Because for instance, the design you’d use for a Hip Hop music streaming website will be far different from the one you’d use for a blog about country music.

Domain name and hosting. [/b]After settling your branding, you can then move on to securing a domain name and finding a web hosting company that will host your music blog.

A domain name is most times less than 10 dollars per year in most companies.

There are certain companies that will give you a free domain name for the first year, if you buy a web hosting account with them.
[b]
Blogging Platform. There are so many different platforms out there you could use to design and develop your music website like Joomla, Drupal, WordPress etc.

But one of the best shot you can always get started with is WordPress. Because WordPress is not only the most popular Content Management System with a good deal of options, it’s also the simplest to manage especially for beginners.

So you can go ahead, install WordPress on your website and go about designing your blog or you can a WordPress expert like me, to get it done for you.

Now if you have completely set your music website, congratulations. The next thing now is for you to go about uploading the songs you want and filing them in the correct categories they should be filled.

Promotion. Since you’ve completely set up your music blog, now the next thing you’ll be thinking about should be, ”how can i get this blog to the knowledge of people out there”?

How do i evolve into an influential music blog or make my blog one of the top music blog in my locality?

There certain ways you can really get the word out about your stuff especially when it comes to advertising online.

You can do this through content marketing like i discussed here ( http://www.victorwinners.com/2017/08/31/what-is-content-marketing-in-nigeria/ ) advertising on other websites, offline and social media.

There are many ways you can really promote your website which i might not be able to list in this post but i want you to realize that your music blog will certainly need a social media strategy and digital marketing strategy.

These two will help you list out the way you should go about promoting your posts across both social media platforms and other websites.

Making money with your music blog. So after the whole thing, it’s important to understand that one of the reasons for being in business is to make profit.

So whether your blog is about country music, hip hop or whatever genre of music you’ll want to blog about or update on your website, you’ll want to make some profit out of it.

This is why it’s important you monetize your music blog.

Now besides the strategies i listed out here when i wrote about how to make money with your blog generally, you can also use some other strategies below:

Sell music directly on your blog if you’re a producer, Music writer or have rights to the songs.

Ask for donations through a donation plugin.

Set up a subscription only area where your paid members can stream live music video or audio.

Sell featured advertisements spot on your site and encourage artistes to advertise their latest song.

The End.

LOL. How then will we ever have 14 and 13 year olds in the university?

So what if the result is not ready?

I think the best thing to do is to allow the status quo and then make it mandatory for people to present their o'levels after a certain number of years before graduation.

Are you planning to set up an entertainment blog in Nigeria or any part of Africa?

If your answer is yes, then this free blogging tutorial is for you.

Yeah. The thing is. An entertainment blog is not just a blog, it’s a platform you can use to do a whole lot of things. Starting from personal to corporate aspirations.

For example, with an entertainment website, you can launch your own media house and then move on to the traditional media (if you want), after making waves.

Also, you can even start a syndicated media, build a global or geographic audience and earn good income right from your entertainment blog.

Of course you know of certain media personalities like Arianna Huffington of Huffpost, Linda Ikeji, Uche Pedro, Perez Hilton among so many others who have gone ahead to build global entertainment brands with their blogs.

They’ve build blogs that have been able to influence political movement, set up social changes and get people talking.

Not only can you do more with time and practice, you can really excel in your career as an entertainment blogger in Nigeria, Africa or any part of the world you reside.

Because the world is getting digital, every single day.

You can do even more than that with your blog as the platform.

Now before even start, i want to get this out of your head. Linda ikeji did not just start and got to her destination. She worked up to where she is now.

So before we even get started, you need to understand that there’s work involved. Yeah. You’ll work. But the good news is, the effort will be worth it in the end.

Also as an entertainment blogger, there’s this advantage you have over someone with an offline entertainment outfit.

The advantage is focused on the fact that most of the time all you need to start your entertainment business is a blog and your laptop.

Unlike an entertainment entrepreneur from the digital world, you don’t need all those processes of business registration and all that.

Get your blog ready and you’re good to go. With that you hardly get into any business risk.

Alright. So how can you really create an entertainment blog and make money either in Nigeria, Africa or any part of the world?

Aside from the business model, the following are the list of things to put in place before setting up your entertainment website.

The first thing you’ll need is a business mindset.

So you need to ask yourself…

“am i in here for the long run or do i want to make a business out of this?

With a business mindset in place you can then come up with a business plan that will include your brand description, blogging goals and strategies you’ll use in attaining the goals.

After this, you can get started on setting up your entertainment website be it in Africa, India, China, United States or wherever.

What’s the niche? The next thing you’ll have to consider after setting up your business plan is the niche.

A niche is something like a broad topical area folks would love to write about.

When it comes to entertainment blogging, so many people go into different areas of entertainment without focusing on a specific area.

It’s very important you set up your niche before getting started because when you do that, you’ll streamline your blog to a particular area of interest and this further gives you a particular set of readers over time.

So you can decide for instance to focus on entertainment news, gossips, Hollywood or Nollywood News, Religious entertainment etc.

Doing this streamlines the process for you. Helping you Focus on a certain kind of readers with a particular interest.

In the long run, you can target a set kind of advertisers when you want to advertise on the blog.

A domain name. As an entertainment blogger, your domain name is what people will use to access your blog on the internet.

It could be any name you’d want to call it. Most bloggers in Nigeria prefers to call their entertainment blogs by their personal names.

So if i wanted to blog for instance, I’d call it victorwinners.com, victorwinnersblog.com or all that sorta thing.

Well, it’s not wrong to call your blog by your name. But what if you want to sell the blog after sometime?

There are also other people who have been able to call their blog specific names that depicts their target niche.

Like Nollywoodnews.com, Hollywoodgossip.com, religiousentertainment.com etc.

With names like that any new reader will immediately understand the niche that your blog is focusing on.

Also it can help the owners of such blog a lot when it comes to search engine optimization.

So you’ll have to choose both a domain name that reflects your entertainment blogging niche and your business goals as a digital entertainment media.

Hosting: After setting up your domain name, head over to a reliable web hosting company like Smart Web, choose a web hosting plan that reflects your blogging goals and then head over to setting up your blog.

PS: Besides smart web, you can host your blog with any web hosting company of your choice. Although smartweb is one web hosting company i recommend a lot because i host most of the blogs and websites i design with them.

Alright. So after choosing your web hosting plan and the web hosting, head over and choose a blogging platform.

There are so many blogging platforms to start up your entertainment blog. But the number one blogging platform is WordPress.

According to research, half of the blogs on the internet is powered by WordPress, the world’s leading blogging software. So that’s always my best recommendations for bloggers.

You can set up your blog on WordPress and start blogging right away, if you understand the technicalities involved.

Or you can contact a WordPress expert like me and I’ll get your blog designed, set up and train you on blogging so that you’ll get started and achieve your blogging dreams without wasting time.

Do you also wonder why people write stuff on the internet?

When i was a bit new in the digital world, i used to ask myself, why do people write on the internet?

Like why do we even have to search for something on Google and find it free of charge?

Who pays those guys that write for Google?

It took me a long time to get to understand this. And the simple reason was so mind blowing. That any person that hears about it will just be amazed. And trust me, it wasn't funny.

But what did i find out?

This is it... You see all those answers you have on the internet when you search google?

90 percent of those stuff are there because someone wants to stimulate your interest about their stuff.

From blogging to vlogging and writing on the internet, we call it different names but the thing is, this is content marketing.

Now, before we proceed, i want to tell you something important…

People don’t like to be sold to. Yes. I don’t like it when you bombard me with messages about your latest stuff which i might not even be interested in. You don’t like it either. So what’s the need for marketing then?

As in, how do i tell people about my product or services without actually trying to inspire them to buy from me?

Because humans really don’t like to be sold to, people had to devise a means to sell their stuff without sounding salesy. That’s how people started writing free quality content on the internet. And then we began to have content marketing started.

So when you ask what is content marketing, you evoke an answer which goes like this…

Content marketing is the art of writing quality, useful and consistent content on the internet in such a way that the content will benefit both the marketer and the reader.

So how does content marketing benefit the writer and readers?

This is it…

According to wikipedia, content marketing (or call it writing on the internet) is done for the following purposes:

Attract attention and generate leads
Expand their customer base
Generate or Increase online sales
Increase brand awareness or credibility
Engage an online community of users.

Ok. Let's be a bit more specific here. If you search for the term, “what is content marketing ” on the internet… Google brings out this post in the search results page and then you click and read it.

After reading it, you see links to other related posts and you read them if it interests you.

During the process, You noticed that my blog (the place you're reading the post) is all about content marketing. And the next time you need anything on that topic, you come to victorwinners.com

Over time, you subscribe to my email newsletter. Through out this period, you keep reading my content and because the stuff i post continuously solves your problem, you begin to see me as a credible person.

After a while, your friend needs stuff that’s related to what I’m doing say WordPress website design for instance.

He tells you about it and immediately you’re like, OK i got this guy that can help you. His name’s Victor Winners. This is his contact.

Now your friend hooks up with me and probably i help him out. He purchases my services and I get paid.

You see with my content marketing, i end up giving you great value for free. You feel excited and share the stuff with friends.

In the long run, this value i give to you projects my brand as an expert in the field.

And based on how we interact, your familiarity with me makes you to give me preference over other folks doing my kind of stuff because you trust me. With this trust, selling my stuff to you becomes easier. Because I’m not just real, you now have enough reasons to buy from me.

You see the online world is full of stuff. I mean there are millions of digital marketers competing to get our attention at the same time.

So instead of telling the guy that wants to buy a baby toy for instance,”come and buy from me, the smart content marketer gives him great contents on “5 best baby toys in 2017” for instance.

The guy reads the post and gets inspired. At the end of the post, he sees an option like place an order and he quickly gives it a try without hesitating.

Because he’s seen what he wants and his interest has been stimulated. He contacts you for a sell…

Truth is, content marketing promotes engagement and encourages conversions. And the main objective of content marketing is to meet the need of the audience you’re trying to reach.

Now there are several other things about content marketing and how to go about it. But, that’s where we’ll pause for today.

I'm sure this post explains why people write on the internet. And perhaps why you should too… If so, please share it with your friends.
