I’m good. Broke my SIM card and changed my phone number

Hey, can I get your phone number or email? Got a writing gig for you. Thanks.

yungEX:
The phone is mad! It isn't amoled sadly

That's why it's selling for a budget price. You people want all the features of an iPhone XS Max in a 50k phone!

Conspiracist:
You are probably right, its been around for quite some time but it just got to be classified as an organ last year

Hey! I just saw your post in which you stated that you're a freelance writer. How can I hook up with you for some gigs?

uprightman:
Brother , don't generalize. I am using .com.ng from domaianking.ng and is working. They always respond to issue through email or live chat. My blog is www.footballnews.com.ng

And you don't know Domainking is owned by Indians? Who told you it's a Nigerian company? Because they have offices in Nigeria?

Finally! I've found someone in the game. I'll love to connect.

Got a couple of sites making good $$ i want to sell sometimes next year.

Happy to connect and discuss ideas and strategies. Got some pretty good stuffs going on.

About writing , not sure that's the best relationship for us. I would imagine something better.

Nice to know you've got some money-spinners under your belt already.

I also have some in the "incubator" at my end here.

@your last line, I can only LOL!

I'm fed-up of spending so much money on a shitty writer i've been managing for almost 2 years now. We've probably done up to 1m worth of deals during this time yet i'm not satisfied with his service.

I pay really good (#2.7 for 1,000 words) yet the articles i get are upsetting , and i have to spend a good amount of time editing to make them "Readable". If i have to spend time editing to make it worth reading , then it defeats my aim of content outsourcing.

I'm tired. I want to try someone new next year.

Before i go and spend heavy $$ on American writers , i want to give our Nigerian counterparts one more chance.

I am looking for a Nigerian writer that really knows how to write. My articles are mostly "best Bleep
" product reviews articles (e.g https://10beasts.com/best-wireless-chargers/) , so you should know how to research and write copy that sells without sounding like an as*******e.

If you think you're good enough , send me an e-mail : kelvin.ogwu25@gmail.com

I totally understand your pains, bro. I had the same experience while managing my Amazon niche sites. After getting loads of shit from Nigerian writers, I had to write the stuffs myself. And when I observed that the sites were practically "suffering" from neglect due to my busy schedule, I sold them off on Empire Flippers last month.

Now, I'm left with informational sites targeted at Nigerians. Of course, those ones don't require world-class writers.

I can write for you, but can you pay N10 per word? That's the rate that can compel me to come out of "retirement".

Silvermoney:
If your English is above average, and you have very good writing skills, with an understanding of what it means to effectively integrate focus key words/key phrases within articles for SEO purposes, then I might consider you. I'm talking about very long term engagement, with loads and loads of articles to be written, so you should know that there's no room for mediocrity.

When do you intend to start? I have a fine writer you can work with

Silvermoney:
Thanks big boss. The content strategy and promotion strategy are often tricky.

Okay let's say you want to spend 500k on content. How many high quality articles can this amount deliver over the course of one year, and most importantly, how do you hire and manage writers who can deliver everything right (from topic ideation, to seo writing, to infusing your affiliate links within articles, to finding and using the right featured images, etc). I feel most of these freelance writers are very problematic, having worked with a few of them. One ends up editing, re-editing, looking for another featured image, etc. What's the best and most sustainable approach to this?

With N500,000, I can look at 500,000 words of good content. Since we are talking about a Nigerian audience here, you don't have to been keen about getting world-class quality. At N1/word, you should be able to get good content that should serve its purpose perfectly.

The toughest part is getting a good writer. But if you can take your time to sift through loads of applications, you'd get a few good ones that you can work with.

But please, don't make the mistake of expecting them to come up with topics or doing all those other things you mentioned. Most freelance writers are just what they are: Writers! If you expect them to also handle publishing, embedding of affiliate links, on-page SEO, etc, you'll get yourself badly burned in the end.

Since you're planning to start. This isn't the time to sit back like a boss while others ruin your site gradually. You should be the one to handle publishing, link insertion, and SEO on your own. No one can do it as you would want it to be done. Let your writers write and send to you, while you do the publishing.

Better yet, hire an editor to handle the publishing aspect plus link insertion and on-page SEO. But that would eat deep into your budget. It's not too much of work, so I think you should do it yourself for now.

Most people get messed up by Nigerian writers because they try to use them for roles they're just not cut out for.

frankyskyboi:
Please I would like to know if a budget of 150k can create a potential affiliate marketing blog that can generate income..
Cc webincomeplus and other experts please I need your inputs

Well, yes, it can. But you really need to invest a lot of time into learning the ropes first, so you can play your cards right. In fact, in that case, you might not even need up to N150,000.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
But some of these cancers are chronic, causing gradual irreversible havoc (tissue & cell destruction) over a prolonged period of time

I agree with you. But a cancer that is already "active" enough to send cough as a symptom will never wait for 4 good years without following it up with other worse related symptoms, which would vary depending on the organs affected.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Cancer
Most naija hospital cannot diagnose cancer, that is why the test is coming out negative

Would you just shut up? Ah, just like that?

No cancer that will present with cough can give you the luxury of up to 4 years. And if it does, by now it should have been accompanied by terrifying symptoms like bloody sputum, hoarseness, or difficulty in swallowing.

@OP, your best bet is to see a consultant respiratory physician in any of the reputable teaching hospitals in the country.

Silvermoney:
Let's say you' have N1m to invest strictly on a Nigeria focused blog (online publishing/authority site kind of business so to say), what would you do with it? How would you invest it? What strategies would you use and how much in monthly earnings would be feasible if managed right, within one year of starting the website?

Cc: webincomeplus
Cc: kelvinnaira

After deciding on a lucrative/promising niche, I'd come up with a nice content strategy that I'll stick with for the next one year. I'll also outline my promotional strategies for the next one year.

I would recommend 400k-500k for content, 250k-300k for promotion. And the rest would be kept for other necessary expenses.

With that I should have reached the N200k/month mark at least by the end of the first year.

The analysis above is for someone at the beginner or intermediate level. I can get the same results without spending that much.

tuzle:
What won't we see. Back when I was in school that was how some room mate put weed in the food I was cooking, that day I slept like an idiot. Not until two weeks later I was told it was weed that caused my sleep

LOOOL!!

PlayerMeji:
Hmmmm... There is a meltdown already in the economy of Africa so I am not suprised if countries are avoiding to host any major tournament. But dot be surprised when you see Big Brother (Nigeria) coming to form papaz now.

Of course, it's another opportunity for some crooks to milk the country dry.

Interesting! This is the kind of objective data we need on Nairaland, not some shitty beer-parlour or agbero analyses.

mictima:
And I'm suuure Google does the surgery too!

Brilliant!

Lol!

NLEFCC:
Will it sell or not?

I doubt. People usually prefer single compact units, not a collection of multiple components.

What makes this different from a normal freezer plugged into a installed solar power inverter? I was expecting to see a freezer with all its solar components built in (of course, except for the panel).

HenryDion:
Webincomeplus.. My role model when it comes to the blogosphere... You're supposed to know what to do nah.. It's your field!

It's an old thread, bro.

What's difficult to understand here? Serena is black, while the fan is dark black.

Otunba2004:
primary ticket election is different from general election oga Ade

Many read, Sir, but only few understand. Don't mind them.

Benz4pimp:
The OP is stupid,he feels every one is gullible like him.Since Nigeria returned to democracy in 1999, Oyo has had a new leader, every four years. Dr Lam Adesina won the first election that year, but he was replaced four years later by Rashidi Ladoja. Although Ladoja had political troubles which led to a temporary impeachment (that lasted for almost a year before he was reinstated), it was clear he was not going to win a second term as the Ibadan people could not ‘serve a leader’ twice. Ladoja’s successor, Alao Akala also lasted one term.Not until they elected Ajimobi!!!

You're the stupid one here. What the OP wrote is "beaten to a second term ticket". That is, denied the chance to represent their parties the second time, not defeated in the elections by the opposition.

Both Adesina and Akala got their parties' second term tickets (that is, approval to contest again) but were defeated by the opposition. That approval to recontest is what Ambode just lost.

Joseid:
Nice thread, Ladywriter. Your style of writing has really improved. I envy your writing skills.

Please, I've sent you an email. Kindly reply.

Hey, kindly reach me on basicfreelance@gmail.com or 08062357604. I'm considering hiring you for a writing gig.

logadims:
Please, if you are an SEO expert and can help my blogs post rank on Google. Please, drop your contacts let's begin. I'm in need of someone who is very good at it.


The site is all about dogs. we need to get to work, immediately!!

you'll help me run the site...
drop your contacts, I'll call you!

I can help with my experience. Is the site an informational site or ecommerce site? Is it targeted at Nigerians? And is it based on WordPress? I need answers to these questions because SEO strategies vary depending on type of site and target audience.

Infantino head be like Isi Beans

You're not even nice at all.

This woman's story is a big lesson to those who always readily pay other people to help them process or obtain vital documents such as company registration papers and other licenses and certificates.

Always double-check to be sure that you've been given authentic papers. You never know which fake document will haunt you later.
