ibietela2: For FREE or $60??

@ibietela2 again!!!!!! . Anyway the awof time don pass shaa. Head straight, back to business.

spikes C: ok, thanks for the opportunity.
So, when do a professional like you answer your emails. 30 mins, 1hr, 1 week or probably 2 months.

Or you just ignore emails?

Lol. For today, I will answer almost immediately, but subsequent days I will answer during my email hours. Guy you too funny

Last week was super great and I believe God that this week is going to be super super great. In the mean time, I decided to have a little vacation from work today and will love to assist any company, developer, designer or agent achieve something not so huge today. I will go back to work tomorrow. So tell me your challenges and I will surely assist you freely or you can email me at winexviv@gmail.com. Goodluck

Akuko Uwa. All liers go to ....?

I tried synchronising my current database with phpmyadmin and mysqllog but it ain't going through. I even downloaded Heidi Sql but no way. I'm a bit confused on this.

I'm currently working on a huge web project and will launch it soon. When the project goes public, i don't want to see my self in the situation of dropping the entire database just to add few updates. Do anyone know how to update remote mysql database from your local mysql database automatically or with software and not the usual dropping of entire table and updating with the new ones from cpanel.

ibietela2:

Answer the question yourself.... Where you not the one that charge me $60 just to help see why my shop has a blank page?? You also developed a plugin or Module and you said it's 15k.

Lol. I'm contributing in my own own little way by building plugins and selling them. Its my business nah and you don't expect me to give it out for free. No vex bro.

The admin sales end is perfect with all responses triggering respective sales notifications. As you can see Cashenvoy has approved the account to LIVE phase and have been recommending my plugin to clients using woocommerce.The Price is 5k. Thanks

Using free templates is not a bad idea when working on low budget jobs. But incase of High budget jobs, you really need to think outside the box.
Before you even start using free templates you need to be a pro, meaning that templates should be sources of inspiration and not a limitation. As a pro you can doctor it to a level that even the owner of the template will never recognise it.

But wait ehhhh. When will Nigeria developers start giving back to the internet? like building free templates for people to download, building stuffs like jQuery....

Good evening Nairalanders,
Hope you guys are doing great. For sometime now, my new clients from GTPay requesting for my GTPay Opencart Payment Extension have been experiencing difficulties with the system because the new transaction request url https://ibank.gtbank.com/GTPay/Login.aspx is having countless issues while processing sent parameters. This was a big challenge to me because the clients enjoying my extension are the ones having a later merchant ID e.g 227 or people that registered few years ago.
Finally, it took me lots of sleepless nights to figure out the exact issue and by the special Grace of God it is now fixed. You can do a test at www.latushng.com to have a look at it and also do a test at www.siodleather.com.ng to have a look at the one that works for the later.
In case you want to purchase my payment extension, you can email me at winexviv@gmail.com.

Goodluck

Piero007:

Ok. I'll be buying the extension today but I also need to know if you have other payment gateway extension for woocommerce like cashenvoy,payu,eyowo. I'm thinking of adding 2 payment gateways to my store which will be voguepay and 1 out of the other 3 I listed above.

Please respond ASAP

I have written that of cashenvoy and it works at www.myneriah.com . You can send me an email at winexviv@gmail.com .

esmeralda1: @winexviv when u say u make money thru nairaland what do u mean pls i dont understand, do u advertise?


Secondly, i develop payment extensions(GTPay, Interswitch, Cashenvoy and Eyowo) for opensources like Opencart and Woocommerce and different clients especially from Nairaland keep buying them. I sell my payment extension for 15k but for custom jobs i might charge 50k and above depending on the task involved. Many clients keep purchasing them.

This is how I get jobs through Nairaland. As you make constructive posts and give intelligent answers to different questions, prospective clients reads all your post and if they find you worthy of their project they will contact you and possibly give you the job.

mj: Time to explain, although I do get little jobs through nairaland but most of my jobs come from Web companies here in Nigeria, i have two I work with in Lagos, one in Abuja and one in Ilorin. When the get the jobs, they outsource it to me, which has helped me gained lots of experience. Since some webmaster take 10k for jobs, I stop Web designing greatly, i focus more on custom solutions, building ecommerce, cms,scrips, portal, seo, link building campaigns, etc.
I totally agree with Dual_core, myogaatthetop.

Great. I think building custom solutions is a silent oil well for high-level developers.

talk2me006: @winvix
Thank you very much for sharing your styles..
I have known you since for that your kind knowledge sharing..But i want to ask which programme language did someone need to write wp plugin?

Greenmouse,graphicplus,Yawatide, we are expecting your own also

To be able to code plugins you need to master PHP, AJAX and PHP (OOP). With that you can build and extend opensource plugins.

Y the amusements @Activeman?

Godwin10: Brief me on hw u made such amount monthly or do you develop for facebook? Just curious pls.

Thanks for your question. This is how i make my cash.

Firstly i build different websites for different clients and satisfied clients keep referring new people to me for new jobs. The minimum i charge for a web job and that is a static website is 50k and that one might be many (can't be specific) per month. Most big jobs i get which are above 500k come but not too often shaa but my agents take their cut too.

Secondly, i develop payment extensions(GTPay, Interswitch, Cashenvoy and Eyowo) for opensources like Opencart and Woocommerce and different clients especially from Nairaland keep buying them. I sell my payment extension for 15k but for custom jobs i might charge 50k and above depending on the task involved. Many clients keep purchasing them.

Finally, i do web programming consulting of upcoming developers and they pay for that. Most of the developers that consult me are my friends shaa, so i charge them small but most times free.

The last but not the least, everything i do is by the special Grace of God, and not by my might, experience or wisdom. This is how i make my money as a freelancer. Goodluck with your career.

NB: You can email me at winexviv@gmail.com

My intention for this is not to show off but rather encourage new comers. I'm still a full time freelancer but currently I earn an average of 300k per month as a developer. sometimes it will be more but at worst this is what I earn shaa.
So feel free to share your monthly income and let the tread continue or email me at winexviv@gmail.com . Goodluck

Good evening everyone,
I just thought of this now shaa. In previous weeks, we have had cases of ailing Nigerians that need financial assistance but their is no organised way we Nairalanders could help.
Many of us have made huge money from Nairaland and I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea if we can give back to the society in our own little ways through Nairaland.
My thought here is that the owners of this group should create an account dedicated for charity purposes. We can easily contribute money in there but the owners of this group will do us a favour of publishing the account statement daily. once someone is in need we can consider and possibly help to save lives.
God has helped me countless times through this forum with lots of web development deals and clients purchasing my payment plugins. Many people have similar testimonies like me. Your N500 could save a future president. Thanks

Goodmorning Nairalanders,
I have successfully improved on my GTPay payment extension for Opencart. I completed the porting to Opencart version 1.5.3 and above and its being tested at www.latushng.com . Fell free to check it out. The earlier version is being tested at www.siodleathers.com.ng .
I got contacted yesterday by another client requesting I build Interswitch payment extension for Opencart but I will like to know how many of you that are interested so it can boost my interest to explore the new challenge.
Also, I will advice nairalanders who wish to create custom payment extension for any open source to feel free to contact me regarding that and we will achieve it together.

My email is winexviv@gmail.com .

Alex.

@Yawa-ti-de you have spoken well. For me pricing in most cases could be determined by level of experience and great projects done in the past. Every client wants the best and believe me they can pay huge just to get the best.
Once a client approaches me for a web project, what I really consider is the time/labour/financial involvment to get the task done before I can actually state a price which in most cases I don't give room for lenghty bargaining.
Challenging projects earns more millions, so we shouldn't in most cases charge so much when they come but rather look at the future.
Amatur developers are allowed to charge low so they can build their portfolios and experiences before they can actually start charging heavily.
I will advice most developers to try as muh as possible to save more money so that poverty will not lead them to the temptation of charging very low just to survive. The last but not the least, prayer will get you much more jobs than your countless exposure can. Goodluck

greenmouse: Where will this hold, enugu, lagos, abuja, ph?
Lets start from picking up a venue first.

I pick Enugu.

yawa-ti-de:
^^^ I think for it to be a success, and to get the right exposure, everything from venue to costing should be done at the corporate level. Otherwise, it will just be a group of people hooking up over a beer, imho. I envision something like a trade fair where we all have booths to advertise ourselves, intermingled with speeches and panel discussions every now and then

Are you ready to fly to Enugu?

I will sponsor if we agree it will be hosted in Enugu.

Believe me this will work. Its a great idea. In fact i can sponsor it if it will be held in Enugu. Lets plan in details and fix a date.

Finally here comes the link to play/download "A little" by Mish http://www.hulkshare.com/5cds1pcg7ydc . Have fun.

Please what could possibly be wrong with this function. I've been constantly getting this error "Database query failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '='' AND password='' LIMIT 1' at line 1". Your kind comments will be of great assistance.

Since its not expensive why not keep it to yourself... None of the WooCommerce extension is $100

As you can see alot of clients have opted for my payment extensions. If you feel mine its expensive kindly develop yourslef or purchase from another develper if their is any that have built similar product.

How is 15 expensive for a payment extension for an opensource like Woocommerce? Haba

Konga was built on Opencart platform. They just bought a template possibly from here http://bossthemes.com/ and customised their website. None of them wrote a single line of code. Don't be deceived.

Here we will describe the many types of modeling you will find in the modeling industry. Some models only fit into one category, while another model may fit into multiple. Below we briefly give each modeling genre a definition. In the future, we will follow up with much more in-depth articles/blogs for each respective type of modeling/modeling genre. For now, however… we will keep it simple. Here are the modeling categories at a glance:

FASHION MODEL: This category is the most exclusive and most difficult of all categories for a model to get into, much less succeed in. As a whole, a fashion model MUST be tall, young, and thin. In addition, there are fashion model “size requirements”, and hardly any exceptions made in terms of that. While there is no universally-agreed upon, OFFICIAL “fashion-industry size-standard”, the size requirements in fashion modeling are TYPICALLY as follows:

Female Fashion Models:
Model Height Requirement: 5’9” to 6”.
Model Measurement Requirement: 34-24-34. (There are exceptions within one inch, and MAYBE two, of this standard. Anything beyond that is extremely unlikely to be considered.)
Model Age Requirement: 16-21 years old.
Model Size Requirement: 0-4.
Model Weight Requirement: 105-130 lbs, directly proportional to height
Male Fashion Models
Model Height Requirement: 5’11” to 6’2”.
Model Weight Requirement: 140-165 lbs, directly proportional to height.
Model Measurement Requirement: Waist between 29” and 32”. Shirt size between 15-15 ½ neck, sleeve size between 32 and 34. Jacket size between 40 and 42.
Model Age Requirement: 18-25 years old.

EDITORIAL FASHION MODEL: These models are the ones you find in the editorial spreads of pages like Elle, Vogue, Glamour, etc. You MUST fit the modeling requirements for a “Fashion Model” (listed above) in order to be considered for this category. Almost all editorial fashion agencies in the US are based in New York, but agencies/jobs can be found in other major cities (LA, Chicago) and overseas.

FASHION CATALOG MODEL: Slightly less restrictive than fashion modeling in terms of requirements, but catalog modeling still has rigid standards nonetheless, and is also difficult to get into. Catalog models are the ones you see in the clothing catalogs, posing in a variety of outfits. Typically, only female models between 5’8” and 6’1” will find work here. Male models should be between 5’10” and 6’2”.

RUNWAY MODEL: Models that walk the catwalk or runway; a “live model.” Runway models are hired to use their bodies as a mechanism to display the fashion garments of a specific clothing designer. They MUST be tall (5’9” and up for females, 5’11” and up for males), slender, have measurements that fit the standard clothing size, and know how to walk the runway.

COMMERCIAL MODEL: Most agency models work in this category. Commercial models work MANY different jobs, including: print advertisements, catalogs, campaigns, television shows, magazines, trade shows, and much more. There are no height or size requirements to be a commercial model. So even if you are DYING to be a fashion model, but simply do not fit the size requirements for mainstream “fashion modeling”, you can still find work and book great jobs as a “COMMERCIAL fashion model”, doing fashion print and things of that nature. Not interested in being a commercial fashion model? No problem. This category of modeling accommodates MANY types of looks: from the girl-next-door, to middle-aged men, to those with very “unique/interesting” faces.

PRINT MODEL: Print models are used for many different types of publications, such as: magazines, print advertisements, billboards, posters, calendars, campaigns, booklets, flyers, banners. Print models must have an attractive face, good skin, a nice body, and a pretty smile. Print models can find modeling work in one of two ways: through a modeling agency, or by freelance modeling.

GLAMOUR MODEL: Glamour modeling focuses much more on the model’s appeal, beauty, and body than it does anything else. Models in this category are considered very pretty; able to book work simply by being attractive, a nice body, and having a sort of “sex appeal”. While there are no height or size requirements, glamour models DO have to be at least 18 years old. Glamour models can work as non-nude models, or as nude models.

Non-nude glamour models: are typically hired to appear in swimsuit, bikini, lingerie, and form-fitting attire. Often times they will find work in magazines, music videos, calendars, etc. They can find work as a freelance model, and they can also find other work through modeling agencies as a print model, commercial model, or promo model.

Nude glamour models: are almost never represented by a mainstream modeling agency, and most always they will find modeling work through their own means (internet, friends, referrals, casting calls, networking, etc.)

PROMO MODEL / PROMOTIONAL MODEL: A promotional model, also known as a promo model, is a model that is hired to represent a brand, product, or service. This category of modeling does not have a height or weight requirement; thus making it much easier to get into promo modeling than it is to get into many other types of modeling. While there are no height/weight requirements, there are other general requirements for booking paid promo work: a great attitude, outgoing nature, a nice smile, and the ability to easily adapt/learn.

SPOKESMODEL: A spokesmodel is a more lucrative form of promo modeling. These models tend to have signed contracts with a specific company; acting as the face of the brand, being paid to attend events and make special appearances, appearing in advertisements, and traveling the country.

TRADE SHOW MODEL, OR CONVENTION MODEL: Tradeshow or convention modeling is another form of promo modeling. These models are hired by a company to represent their brand, product, or service specifically at a trade show or convention. There are no height/size requirements, but these models need to be outgoing, reliable, work well with others, and take direction well. They also will be expected to work long hours, readily engage with other people, to quickly learn/accurately relay the company’s mission (or products or talking points) to consumers.

CATALOG MODEL: A catalog model has the same job description as a “fashion catalog model”, yet none of the same size requirements. General catalog models are needed in all shapes and sizes. There are tons of clothing designers in the world offering a variety of options, many of which cater to petite, plus-size, or alternative buyers. These designers need models of the same variety to pose for their catalogs. Almost any category of model can be used as a (general) “catalog model.”

PETITE MODEL: These are models that are on the shorter side- typically 5’4” and under. While they will not be able to find work as a fashion model, petite models can still find work in other categories, such as a print, commercial, glamour, or promotional modeling. Petite models can be sought after for their small hands/feet for print work as well.

FREELANCE MODEL: A freelance model is one that is self-represented: they are not signed exclusively to any one modeling agency, they do not have an agent or a manager, and they are responsible for finding their own work. In addition, they are responsible for their own marketing, promoting, networking, and branding. This might all sound overwhelming, but in this day and age, freelance models have many avenues to get a career started. The internet is their main weapon/source; if properly harnessed, freelance models can still make a name for themselves without an agency.

FITNESS MODEL: Fitness models are toned, in-shape, healthy, and have good muscle tone. There are no size/height requirements, but you MUST be in shape! There are modeling agencies with “fitness modeling” departments. Fitness models seeking representation should focus on these first, but fitness models can also be self-represented.

PARTS MODEL: These models typically model their “parts”, such as their hands, legs, feet, stomach, etc. There are modeling agencies that represent parts models, and the best way to get started in this modeling category is by finding an agent rather than attempting to freelance.

PLUS-SIZE MODEL: These models, also known as “Full figured models”, are models that do not fit the size requirements for mainstream modeling. They weigh more, have fuller figures, and have pretty faces. They can be hired as catalog models for plus-sized clothing brands, among many other job opportunities. Plus-sized models are able to achieve representation with modeling agencies that have a “Plus-Size” division.

ART MODEL: Art models work with visual artists. The model is the subject of the intended art piece, usually being required to pose while the artist interprets and creates a piece of art. They are able to use the model as a real-life visual aid. There are many mediums an art model can be asked to participate in. Some of the more common include paintings, illustrations, sculpture, and photography.

NUDE MODEL: Nude models typically only find work in photoshoots. Occasionally they will do videos/films, but the most common medium they work with is photography. They can pose topless or fully nude. Nude models rarely have modeling agencies. There are no height or weight requirements.

PINUP MODEL: Pin-up models first gained notoriety in the 1940’s and 50’s, with the term “pin-up” referring to a physical photo of an attractive model, which could be “pinned up” on the wall. In the past, pinup models were more risqué than their current era. Today, modern pinup models (posing in the same manner and outfits of the 40’s and 50’s), seem to be less risqué than their current era, as times have changed and so have social standards. To explain: modern pinup models can be seen wearing classic 1-piece swimsuits, while modern glamour models can be seen wearing barely-there string bikinis.

ALT MODEL, or ALTERNATIVE MODEL: This genre of modeling does not conform to “typical” modeling standards. The models used in this genre are not the mainstream, cookie-cutter models. Many of them have tattoos, piercings, unusual hairstyles, etc. They can work in this industry with the help of internet websites, networking, and niche magazines.

FETISH MODEL: A fetish model will be hired to model/display various fetishes. For example, latex clothing, bondage, foot photoshoots, etc. Almost always, these models are self-represented.
