Muslims are entitled to four wives at a time and can divorce any of the wives to marry another yet rape is an epidemic in the Muslim world.

This shows that a woman is not to be blamed for her husband's infidelity. A man that will cheat will cheat.

Please desist from making shitty statements out of pure hate! Google is your friend. Why not do a quick search on worldwide rape statistics and see the number of Muslim countries among the top contenders.

Look at the articles that rank the Top 10 Countries in the World with the Highest Rape Rates and tell me how many of them included a single muslim country. Personally, I found only one that included Pakistan. Only Pakistan of all the many muslim countries -- and even just one article included them, while others didn't.

Now, let me help you. Here are some links:

So, be duly enlightened.

Now, I never implied that Muslim countries are saints. I only detested your baseless claim that rape is an "epidemic" in the Muslim world. That's a huge one. Learn how to get your facts right.

Basically I'm an entrepreneur. I'm into transportation and I also organise tours within Nigeria.

I decided to change my business model recently so I plan to work from home.

My writing talent is very little but I can try my best. So I will like to embrace blogging.

I can focus on transport, tourism, small scale businesses or any other aspect.

Basically I need someone to teach me:
how to blog, how to monetize a blog, SEO, adsense and basically all I need to know.

I'm in Lagos and can learn one on one or online.

I will be glad if I can get some help.

My number : 08028052100

Download the free ebook in my signature. It will teach you how blogging works and all the basics you need to know about it. Then read all posts on my blog that are about blogging, and you'd be good to go.

As far as blogging is concerned, choosing the right niche is the most important of the first steps. Get it wrong, and you'd fail at blogging. I can help you decide the best niche from among the options you're considering.

EntMirror:
Lol.. Perhaps you're among those who claim to have only to end up selling e-books.. Your signature says it all.. I'll pass.

Simple English, you can't comprehend. The link in my signature redirects to a FREE ebook. And the blog it leads to is not even among my affiliate niche sites. I've wasted enough time with you. Just swerve!!

EntMirror:
As for affilate marketing.. Those who claims to have made millions didn't make a dime.. In fact, the only way they made money was by selling e-book on how they made money from affilate.. Funny..

Please, i'm done with the argument. Lemme use the strength to write a more helpful and impacting article..

Shalom

I'm only interested in this statement of yours, which proves not just your ignorance but also your resistance to knowledge. You love to generalize and make blanket statements based on your limited knowledge and experience.

Well, just so you know, I've been making money as an affiliate marketer since 2014. And I've been into various schemes from Markethealth to web hosting affiliate programs, to Jumia and Konga affiliate programs, and Amazon affiliate program, which I'm focusing majorly on at the moment. I just cashed my earnings for last month from the program ($1750) 2 days ago.

So, if you've failed at it, or you've landed in the hands of fake self-proclaimed affiliate marketers who only sell shitty ebooks that only scratch Clickbank and nonsense programs by the surface and teach old-school techniques that don't work, know that it's your own experience. Rather, affiliate marketing is bliss ... far better than Google Adsense. I earn from both, so I know.

Bottom line: Stop making generalist statements based on your own experience. No matter how much you think you know, you'll always be a learner to many other people out there. So, don't ever say it again that affiliate marketing doesn't work. Don't!!

ElizaVeta:
Webincomeplus,that boi never agrees. He want his own to be disgested fully.

He claims making money is easy and expecting him to mention affiliate mktg,Google adsense as source of income.

Only to mention freelancing ... lol
Even when I didnt have a blog. I sold ebooks and cordinated fb adverts for people n took my own share etc.

Let him venture into affiliate marketing and contretrate in adsense earnings,then come back after that 3 months he claimed and give us feedback.

I stopped replying him because of this long arguements! He never wants to accept n believe!

Entmirror,venture into affiliate mktg n adsense, we want to hear your sucess on those,because thats what 80% nigerians knows.

Some of them may not know how to perform other freelance job but depends on affiliate n adsense.

Join them,give us feedback after the 3 months you mentioned and you'll realize what every blogger needs is more traffic.

Because even with 15 visitors a day,one or two persons can contact you for freelance jobs!

Come into the real blogging world!

Thanks for the additional exposition. I guess he's still basking in the euphoria of his "N100k within 2 months".

It's left to him to agree or not. I've been blogging since 2012 and I run at least 6 money-spinning blogs at the moment. But he just started out. I think he'd soon realise how inconsistent freelance earnings can be and that passive income channels like Adsense and affiliate marketing are the real deal.

At this point, I'd stop the argument. Seems you already knew him more than I do

What do you mean by playing your card well? This isn't rocket science bro. Play it well and get it well.. If you play your card well and yet, no positive outcome, then you're doing something wrong. One thing with online business is, get something wrong and watch the whole process fail.

What I mean is that there are times you do everything correctly, and perfectly and you still won't get the results you expected due to the dynamism of the online business game. Most pro bloggers understand this, and that's why they always place disclaimers on their blogs. There are times in the past when I achieved success with a blog in a niche, and another blog created in the same niche failed to make headway even with all strategies replicated exactly as is. This happens in both online and offline business. There are times you'd do exactly what you yourself did earlier or what someone else did, and you won't get the same results. The replica might achieve bigger success, and it might end us as a failure!

For the first time, I agree with you. It's necessary to do keyword research before sitting down to write an article. But this shouldn't be a restriction when writing. Are you writing for Google, or for humans? There's a chance that all your readers won't come from Google. Refusing to write an article because the keywords, whether long or short are competitive is unwise. Focus on your readers and you won't struggle at all.. They won't even have to find you anymore through google.. They have you on speed dial already.

I never stated that keywords have to restrict your writing. In fact, if you writer for search engine bots alone, you'd get your fingers burned. But even at that, I have blogs earning solely from SEO, and they're grossing over a thousand dollars monthly.

Offer a content of value and you will reap the result. Fvck google keywords.

Don't be myopic. Google keywords is what forms the basis of the success of many pro bloggers I know. I have at least 3 blogs right now that are each earning hundreds of dollars monthly, and are modeled around specific Google keywords. So, the fact that you don't know much about how it works doesn't mean you should discredit it.

I still maintain my stand, making money within three months is easy. The problem most bloggers face is HOW? If you can pass this stage of HOW, then you're on your way to making money online. If I got the cash through freelance, isn't it the same making money from my blog? It's been up to a month I got accepted into Adsense and my earnings are enormous. The secret is, know what you're going into and you won't struggle to make a dime..

Yes, I'm telling you it's only realistic through the means I already explained. What I'm trying to tell you is that it's not in all cases that you can start earning within 6 months. The word "enormous" is subjective and anyone can throw that around. I also have a high traffic blog (Alexa around 60K) that earns thousands of dollars monthly.

Problem with most bloggers is this, they delve into blogging without any knowledge.. There's a different between experimentation, and being in business. You can take a year and do your experiments, but when it gets to business in blogging, it shouldn't take you more than 3 months to earn money.

If you really understand business, you'd know that experimentation is an integral part of it. Seasoned online marketers don't downplay A/B testing, which is the most common form of experimentation done in online business. That you're experimenting doesn't mean you're not in business. You experiment to test the waters of expansion or diversification.

Lemme say this again.. I have made enormous already since I placed Adsense about a month ago.. I don't do affiliate.. I doubt if it works at all.. Earning reasonably from Adsense is traffic. If you know about marketing, you don't need paid ads or promotion to start seeing tremendous views.. If you play your ball well, you would have build a huge community within six months.

You doubt if affiliate works at all. That's because you really don't know how to make it work. The same affiliate marketing has been fetching me over $1000 for months now. And I can show you screenshots of my Amazon affiliate account. So, this clearly shows that no one can make a blanket statement as far as online business is concerned. Remember, I once corrected you when you stated with certitude that ANYONE can start earning millions from palm oil business with 4 months (or so)? That's a huge claim, just like your statement that making money online within 3 months runs true for everyone.

Here you just confirmed my statement by stating "within six months", which is obviously longer than "within 3 months". It's all down to traffic and monetization strategies.

EntMirror:
Linda's case is different. She never knew she could earn a dime from it... If you read her success story, you'll discover that she was doing that just for the fun.. Her eyes cleared when someone offered to place an Ad on her blog.. That was the beginning of the business side of her.

So now, having known the route of making money; when applied will make you money within 3 months or less.. It's about treating blogging as business and employing everything you have learnt. The problem with most bloggers is that they don't even know what blogging is, because they heard it can make money, they delve in without thinking twice.. That's when you see a blogger asking a fellow blogger what templates is.. It's laughable.

Making money from blogging is no longer rocket science.. Like I said, the duration however depends on the niche and how hard you work. Let me take myself as a case study, my blog is only 2 months old since it went live. But I've made over 100k from it.. Through design jobs, donation.. Excluding my Adsense earning which I haven't cash..

Making money is easy.. The problem is: Do you know how?

SEO is good.. Any serious blogger shouldn't joke about this.. Whenever I'm writing, it's at the front of my head.. But that doesn't mean we should write purely for googlebot.. Sometime we just write without being hard on ourselves about keywords. It pays off.. The primary aim is to glue your reader.. You might succeed in driving them to your blog, you might not succeed in compelling them to come back.. Write 80% for human, then maybe 20% for googlebot.

My personal WordPress blog, I once wrote an article about how to overcome clash of Kings addiction, I knew nothing of keywords.. But will you believe that the article is on top of Google first page..? It's the first result there.. Funny part is, it's ranking for numerous keywords at the same time.. But I knew nothing about SEO. Blogging is fun....

Even for business, it's not in all cases that you start earning within 3 months or less.

As for your statement that making money is easy. I disagree with you. One of the harshest realities about online business is that there are no guarantees. There are times you'll play all your cards right and your blog still won't make headway for reasons you can't explain. I've experimented with that severally, and I know my onions as far as blogging is concerned.

I agree with you that blogging isn't all about SEO. But SEO in this age isn't about being aggressive about keywords. And in fact, keyword stuffing no longer works.

But then, you can rank a post without having keywords in mind for real. And you can claim to rank for some keywords. The question is, which keywords? I can guarantee you that they are low competition keywords with little monthly search volume. If you disagree, you can provide few keywords, and I'll fetch you the monthly search volumes and competition strength.

In short, your assertion that earning from a blog within 3 months is easy is wrong in most cases. You only achieved that because you monetized through freelancing. Who doesn't know that freelancing is the quickest way to start making money online? And you don't even need a blog for that. When I was still working as a freelance writer, I got my first client the within 3 days, and started earning decently from the first month.

If you'd decided to bank on monetization strategies like Adsense and affiliate marketing, you sure won't make money that quickly unless you spend some cash on ads and other promo campaigns or you already built a massive followership even before launching your blog. If you doubt this, start counting from today how long it would take to start earning $100 consistently from Adsense or affiliate marketing.

EntMirror:
Even a blog about Stones has the potentiality of making money. In the blogosphere, the major factor used to measure profitability is time. A blog that takes 20 years before it starts breeding money is not profitable. The minimum time frame a blogger should start earning is highest, 3 months. If after 3 months and you haven't earn a dime, then you're doing something wrong.

My blog isn't up to 2 months and I've earned over N100k from it. That's excluding my Adsense earning cause I haven't cash it yet. That's profitability.

Bros, so what do you have to say about Linda Ikeji who didn't earn a dime from blogging until after 3 years.

Most pro bloggers didn't achieve success that early. Aside your niche, dedication, and hard work, another important factor that determines how soon you'll start earning is your traffic strategy. For SEO, it takes nothing less than 6 months to start seeing tangible results. For some, it takes even longer.

This reporter keep saying it was due to fence that collapsed on the adjoining street on the pumping machine, what if it was wrong ? Now this claim will circulate everywhere in that neighbourhood and that fence owner will be in trouble. R.I.P .

That's why you should always do the right thing at all times, so that when things go wrong, you won't have played into the hands of enemies you never knew you had.

If only the poultry owner had repaired his fence, no one would point fingers at him now. Or would they say the odour from his poultry farm electrocuted the casualty?

While scouring the education section earlier in the day, I stumbled on a shi.tty post, in which the OP listed the universities in the country that charge the least school fees.

Going through that list, I saw the the cheapest university fees according to the OP is around N21,000. That's gross misinformation! I'm a UNILAG student, and my school fees last session was N18,500. Someone else on that thread who is an ABU student also added that his last school fees was just N19,000.

I've created this thread so we can get the facts right. So, just like I already did, tell us the name of your school and how much exactly you last paid as school fees. This will help indigent admission seekers make the right decisions.

My school fees last session was less than N19,000, yet UNILAG isn't even in the top 10. Myopic, shitty posts everywhere!

The seo issues has being a problem , even though after purchasing YOAST SEO premium you still not rank in google search . Please explain better , Please help a bro , explain more about SEO . Even if i search for my blog name i do not come first in google search .
Searching for naijaloaded he has all his page there like this
pls help

Whoever told you that buying Yoast SEO Premium would fetch you top rankings is an i.diot.

All Yoast SEO does is to ensure that you've left no stone unturned when doing on-page or on-site optimization. Nothing more.

But your chances of ranking prominently in SERPs depend largely on factors like the level of competition for your target keywords, the uniqueness and length of your content, and the total number of backlinks pointing to your domain.

Even without an SEO plugin, you can rank prominently if you play your cards right. So, get back to learn more about SEO and do the right things.

After comparing both articles, I figured that all what you did for the most part of your article was paraphrase the article on Wealthresult. And the truth about plagiarism is, it's not enough to change someone else's words -- you must give them credit in as much as the idea came from them. Whether Google or any authorities would be right to penalize your blog if the guy goes ahead to report is something I'm not sure of. But when next you write articles, try to credit some of the source you consulted while crafting it. That adds credibility to your blog and your personality. The only person who can write that kind of post without necessarily searching the web is someone who has been in the palm oil business and has made money from it for years. If that doesn't describe you, then you certainly must be gotten the info from other sources, which you should have cited, regardless of whether you have used their sentences word-for-word or you change them to your own words. Even pro bloggers don't forget to do that.

While going through your post, I saw the line which read, "Earning a substantial amount, that is N1million in your first four months is guaranteed." And I was like, "Whaaaooo!" You see, in business, you don't give guarantees -- no matter how lucrative it might seem. There is more to success in any business than just following some articles online. Most of those articles don't reveal the real-life realities that come with such businesses. The word "guaranteed" is a heavy word that you shouldn't just throw around anyhow. What you implied by that sentence is that ANYONE/ EVERYONE who starts the palm oil business would earn N1 million in four months. Isn't that a huge one?

When I was in JS3, my Yoruba teacher then said he scored all A's in his WASSCE. He gave the impression that he didn't know jack, and did one kind of jazz. How this jazz worked was that, when he sits in the exam hall, on the top left corner of the black board, a funny looking face will appear, telling him all the answers correctly. The catch to it though was, if he laughed at how funny the face looked at any time, he would run mad for life.

Useless Nigerian Banks. They now want to Increase demand for Dollars so that there would be scarcity again.

CBN should do something to curb these savages or else Naira would be back to N500.

I don't agree with you. During GEJ's regime, there were no restrictions, and dollar price didn't fly upwards.

It means she got it from the seller for free. YouTubers get stuff like that for free from these guys

She didn't get it for free. She clearly stated in one of her videos that she usually gets the device from an authorized outlet on the condition that it must be returned after she's through with her review. And that's the common thing. Only very cheap devices are given to reviewers for free, not stuffs like this.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS

We have android laptops, does that change the fact that Android OS is a mobile OS

Now, you're digressing from the root of our argument. What I'm telling you is about the full meaning of iOS. Whether it extends to other devices or not, the word phone isn't part of the meaning. That's why Apple deleted the word later on, as the OS had to extend beyond phones.

As for Android laptops, they haven't been widely accepted yet. When they are, the root definition of the word "Android" would be devised. Mind you, some people regard laptops as mobile devices based on the fact that they are also mobile and portable.

femi4:
Lol, you still don't get it. You still fail woefully

iOS = Interactive phone Operating System

The OS configuration is for phone fyi

Oga, the word "phone" is not part of the full meaning, since that would mean it's restricted to their phones. Meanwhile, same iOS runs on iPads and iPods, not just phones.

Read the Wikipedia entry on iOS to get more enlightened.

femi4:
Olodo, I never defined " i" cos the post before mine already did

That even shows how daft you are. You already saw a post explaining that i stands for interactive, and you still went ahead to give a different answer.

Why did you say iOS means "iPhone operating system" when you already agreed that the i stands for interactive? Do you need a tutorial to understand that iOS means "interactive operating system"?

Now, you can see who the olodo is.

femi4:
you are wrong.

iOS is different from IOS

iOS is iPhone Operating System

IOS is Internetwork Operating Systems

You're also wrong.

The small letter "i" that starts Apple's products and software packages stands for "interactive".

So, iPhone means interactive phone, iOS means interactive operating system, and iPad means interactive pad.

If iOS stands for iPhone operating system, as you stated then the OS should run only on iPhones and not on their tabs and PCs.

And what does anyone stand to gain from showing fake views. Traffic can't be faked. A blog with lots of traffic is usually popular, so people can tell you're fake when your unknown blog claims to generate millions of page views.

Besides, nobody trusts plugin stats. Advertisers would ask to see Google Analytics screenshots of your so-called traffic. That's the standard everywhere. Let me see how you'll fake Google Analytics figures.

Brow biko stop talking nonsense........... The obasanjo price increment took years, under bubu prices of ALL goods n services either Doubled, Tripled or quadrupled.




Stop defending bubu

How much did oil sell for at the international market during Obasanjo years? I'm not defending Buhari, but people should try to be a bit reasonable when criticising.

Prices doubled simply because the naira crashed against the dollar. The naira crashed because world oil prices crashed and oil is Nigeria's only financial backbone. It wasn't Buhari's fault that the country foolishly depended on oil for decades.

And just so you know, what we are experiencing in Nigeria has little to do with Buhari because during the oil price crash, other countries like Venezuela who depended solely on oil were also badly affected. They still haven't recovered, just like Nigeria.

Buhari might not be a saint, but the truth is, the present economic woes would still have happened no matter who is president. The problem is more than any president can handle in few years.

Show proof of the suicide rate in this administration than others.

Don't mind them. They have forgotten that social media is the reason why we are aware of more suicide cases in this era. People have been committing suicide from time immemorial, even in countries where everything is abundant. Many suicide cases have nothing to do with the economy.

I use GTB, and my account gets credited about 24 hours after Adsense pays.

This is what I hate about this country. The late police officers were just fortunate to have the incident covered by security cameras, and to have the clips go viral on social media.

If the clips hadn't gone viral, I'm sure the police force wouldn't have succumbed to public recommendation to promote those officers and take up the welfare of their children.

The whole development is a good one for the officers involved. But what about those who were killed in circumstances hidden from the public, while showing the same degree of gallantry? Must the social media be involved before our government and its agencies do the right thing?

bigtt76:
Very sad! The man was an experienced officer having being in Yobe and other Boko Haram hot spots. I wonder why he panicked when tackling the robbers.

I saw the video and I was like he could have first demobilized the car by shooting the tires, take out the driver who was walking out of the car majestically.

After taking out the first robber, one was about coming out of the car to attack him, he could have waited to take that one out too, leaving just one who will be forced to flee and the policemen would have been a hero.

I guess poor training and welfare caused him to panic.

Don't jump to conclusions. He could have ran out of ammunition, thus having no choice but to run for cover.
