Life is not easy and will never be. It’s not ANY’s fault.


Let’s be frank, it is hard and I know it.

But right now you can make some money, not much to blow your mind but enough to add value to you.

While I am not over exaggerating things that be not, all I will do is to quickly show you how to add some value to you. I am not teaching you how to make $1,000 a day because I have not made that for yet but soon.

Now the truth is, I know what it means to search for how to make money online since 2011 now and beyond, not counting the money sunk into courses by said, Nigerian gurus.

What these guys do not do is telling us what we need to do because we may not buy the course if revealed.

And let me tell you, if I give you 10 ways to make money and you don’t do any, no need to join others who joined yesterday, just settle down and go for topics such as make $6700 in two days.

If you want to hear my story of that line, in just 30 days, I have been scammed by 2 whites men of hundreds of dollars, so, if you won’t take action on any of these, you can read my WRITINGS here on nairaland (perhaps you will gain something there).


How this will work.
What I will do is give us the insight today with examples, then you are free to get started for free.

I promise not to PROMISE any short metrics.

See what I have done.

#1. I closed my social media accounts just to mind my business and succeed first.
#2. I downloaded more videos on the areas of my interest to study more (see attached)
So, you may not do the #1, but if you are not willing to do #2. I mean, learn more, then, basic inputs results in basic outcomes.

The point is to paint this BLACK & WHITE – no gemming’s.


It’s hard?
Life is not easy and will never be. Don’t just try to make it that way. At times life is more rewarding when we break the swat to get the things we need.


1 OUT OF 10?
Perhaps you do not have anything to offer as a product or service. I will give you 10 things to choose from. After our tutorials, you should be able to stand your ground on 1 and use that.

Platform
Fiverr do[i]t com.
There are other places we can jump in but the simplest always make the most sense. [/i]
10 gigs to choose one you want. 1/10.

If you are ready, you can get the insights and if you don’t want to take action you are free to exit.

I will add you up if you leave your number here.

On my recent session here - https://www.nairaland.com/5283574/research-shows-lose-more-money

, I talked about how to make your website super-fast, or at least see what makes Nairaland first page thick - super fast. Today, I want to discuss one of the factors that make a website/blog dull.

#1. Leverage Browser Caching

What is browser caching?

Every time a browser loads a webpage it has to download all the web files to properly display the page. This includes all the HTML, CSS, JavaScript and images.

Some pages might only consist of a few files and be small in size – maybe a couple of kilobytes. For others however there may be a lot of files, and these may add up to be several megabytes large. Twitter.com for example is 3 MB+.

The issue is two fold.
1. These large files take longer to load and can be especially painful if you're on a slow internet connection (or a mobile device).
2. Each file makes a separate request to the server. The more requests your server gets simultaneously the more work it needs to do, only further reducing your page speed.

Browser caching can help by storing some of these files locally in the user's browser. Their first visit to your site will take the same time to load, however when that user revisits your website, refreshes the page, or even moves to a different page of your site, they already have some of the files they need locally.

This means the amount of data the user's browser has to download is less, and fewer requests need to be made to your server. The result? Decreased page load times.

How does it work?

Browser caching works by marking certain pages, or parts of pages, as being needed to be updated at different intervals. Your logo on your website, for instance, is unlikely to change from day to day.

By caching this logo image, we can tell the user's browser to only download this image once a week. Every visit that user makes within a week would not require another download of the logo image.

By the web server telling the browser to store these files and not download them when you come back saves your users time and your web server bandwidth.

How to leverage browser caching

I was scammed by WHITE MEN.

One of them.

He convinced me that he is a blockchain expert. Meaning, they introduce new Alts to the market while they are paid for their work as a developer. With his proofs, he quickly demanded my email which I gave, he sent a wallet ID saying it was a developer wallet I needed to invest to start earning 5-10% daily (I was fooled again? Hmmm).

Immediately I transferred the money to the wallet. (note, I locked it with SMS AUTH), he transferred the money same minute to his wallet. In fact, I logged in again to see a 2/3 confirmation before it was 3/3.

Anything I can't use my hands and do or work on, I can't invest again, I have lost so much in crypto.

Never trust NO CRYPTO GUY you don't know online because BTC transactions are irreversible.




P.S: if you are tired of scam and you are ready to dedicate the time to make something meaningful, read what I have got for us.

My journey with Fiverr had been bloody.

This was just after buying the eBook I was promised a Fiverr solution. To cut the long story short, since I didn’t have a gig (a product or service to offer), all I was given was a WSO material to sell as a gig. (Sorry, poor dude).

The funniest part was that, when the first person ordered the gig, the WSO material was a bloody sucker to what the client wanted, but what could I have done? Since the solution wasn’t my brainchild, the client complained.

Worse, since I couldn’t proffer a solution, he dashed me the $5 (with pity) wherefore Fiverr took $1 and $4 was mine. That was the last gig I sold on Fiverr (because I had no SERVICE of my own to provide).

But now, I am vested with up to 3 GIGs + I can Offer.
Now, if you were just like me and have no GIG to offer on Fiverr, this is for you. Not for the experts that promise you the best gig of their lives. but nothing.


One of my gigs is here on Nairaland - https://www.nairaland.com/5283574/research-shows-lose-more-money


So,
The BEST GIG?

It’s offering what you have inside you – AKA. Service.

HOW TO GO ABOUT IT?
I will give you #10 Gigs to choose from. If you can work with any of them then you will make some money before December comes.

WHAT I WILL DO?
• I will give you the Gig (to choose from)
• Show you WHAT AND HOW to do.
• Tell you what I did (Secret site to get impression on your Gig)
(Just dedicate some hours and master the gig). No fast approach.

WHY DECEMBER? #1.
I hate FAST RICH SCHEMES. In a space of[b] 30 days,[/b] I have been scammed HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS by WHITE MEN (OYINBO), so, anything I can’t use my hand and do is NO forever.

WHY DECEMBER? #2.
I have discovered that no one cares about you, not even on Social media where things seems overrated. I closed down my Social Media accounts to dedicate 6 months to what I can do (GIG) – LEARNING HOW TO.
You can if you want, for DEDICATION.

No MORE long story, if you are interested, DROP your numbers and I will add you up to the Training group. Training is tonight by 7:30pm.


Note: I am showing how to do it, not what to do and leave you hanging.

Here is a verified link - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1olQaJLVi-hjzPOj2ktonmOrNh8TV73dgJeqv5dm5FFE/edit?usp=sharing

You need a fast website or blog. Here is why?

Of course, website performance optimization, the focal point of technologically superior website designs is the primary factor dictating success for modern online businesses.

After all, unimpressive website performance kills a businesses’ bottom line when the torture of waiting for slow Web pages to load frustrates visitors into seeking alternatives – impatience is a digital virtue!

Can you notice why Nairaland is very fast? Two of the quick factors is that their homepage is 90% texted, @#2. They are using CDN tool.
As of the last time of checking it, the speed was less than a second. See image below.

[img]https://crackclapextensionhome.files./2019/07/nairaland_front.png[/img]

The only issue with Nairaland's is their Static components. For example, Yahoo! uses yimg.com, YouTube uses ytimg.com and so on.


Let's come back home.

Slow? How Slow should your Website or Blog be?

Anything slower than the blink of an eye – 400 milliseconds. Engineers at Google have discovered that the barely perceptible page load time 0.4 seconds is long enough to cause users to search less.

The technology has come a long way in improving internet experience. The over-crowded cyberworld of the 1990s was often labeled as the World Wide Wait, but innovations in communication and networking technologies have revolutionized the way digital information is transmitted across the internet.

[img]https://crackclapextensionhome.files./2019/07/money.jpg[/img]

The next generation of online businesses have all the resources they need to deliver content instantaneously, but to leverage and complement these resources, businesses need speed-optimized websites that deliver the best user experience.

Microsoft speed specialist and computer scientist Harry Shum believes 0.25 seconds of difference in page load time – faster or slower – is the magic number dictating competitive advantages for online businesses, (Kinsta).



Why you need to act fast

However, abandoning a website due to slow page speed is not always the quickest path to access the desired information on the web.
An average user would spend several extra minutes browsing fast-responding but irrelevant websites, instead of waiting a few more seconds for sluggish relevant websites to respond.

And considering the sea of resources on the web, users eventually find the required information on some website or the other.
But the eventual losers are online businesses unable to reach their online customers fast enough, despite hosting the exact information and services being sought.

Strange enough, visitors would rather spend excessive time browsing for the information elsewhere than waiting a few seconds for the right website to load. The experience is similar to the Houston airport incident from a few years back that led to a clever solution.

Passengers at the airport had to take a 1-minute walk to the baggage claim and waited there for 7 minutes to receive their bags. The customer relations center was ultimately inundated with complaints about the slow service.

So the airport executives came up with a cunning solution to “resolve’ the issue. They moved the arrival gates far away and routed the luggage to the outermost carousel.

[img]https://crackclapextensionhome.files./2019/07/money-speed.jpg[/img]

Passengers now had to take a 6-minute walk to the baggage claim area where they received their luggage within 2 minutes. The result? Zero complaints. Absolutely no passenger left unsatisfied – except with some tired legs.

Similarly, elevators contain mirrors so the passengers keep busy in styling themselves and not thinking about the time spent traveling. This passenger behavior is analogous to that of website visitors in the cyber world. And the same general principle applies for online businesses as well: It is the objective length of wait that defines the experience of waiting.

Now, online businesses can play with human psychology like the Houston airport executives and speed up evolution, but with virtually no specific formula to make website response times bearable for every individual visitor out there.

Or they can actually reduce the objective length of wait in delivering the requested content to their online visitors with a fast responding website – whichever is possible when the website is designed to deliver instantaneous response and high quality, seamless user experience.

This guide will focus on the latter practice, and will actually help you maximize the potential of your online business by optimizing website performance and thereby enhancing customer satisfaction, retention, and loyalty.


How to Speed your WordPress Website or Blog

You need to first of all test the speed of your website. What to do.

Go to https://gtmetrix.com/, enter your website URL and wait for it to load/scanning.

If the result is 3.9+, you need to do something about it. I mean, you need to speed it up.


Common Causes of Speed Slack\Where you want to work on

#3. Enable Gzip Compression

What is gzip compression?

When a user hits your website a call is made to your server to deliver the requested files.
The bigger these files are the longer it's going to take for them to get to your browser and appear on the screen.

Gzip compresses your webpages and style sheets before sending them over to the browser. This drastically reduces transfer time since the files are much smaller.

In terms of cost versus benefit, gzip compression should be near the top of your page speed optimizations if you don't have it setup already.
How does it work?

Gzip is actually a fairly simple idea that is extremely powerful when put to good use. Gzip locates similar strings within a text file and replaces those strings temporarily to make the overall file size smaller.

The reason gzip works so well in a web environment is because CSS files and HTML files use a lot of repeated text and have loads of whitespace. Since gzip compresses common strings, this can reduce the size of pages and style sheets by up to 70%!
Gzip has to be enabled on your webserver which is relatively straight forward.

When a browser visits a webserver it checks to see if the server has gzip enabled and requests the webpage. If it's enabled it receives the gzip file which is significantly smaller and if it isn't, it still receives the page, only the uncompressed version which is much larger.
What to do?

For Apache Wordpress System

You will need to add the following lines in your C-panel at .htaccess. Note: not config.

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
# Compress HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Text, XML and fonts
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/vnd.ms-fontobject
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-opentype
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-otf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-truetype
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-ttf

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/ttf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/svg+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/x-icon
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml

# Remove browser bugs (only needed for really old browsers)
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip

Header append Vary User-Agent
</IfModule>

#1. Compress Your Images
You can login to your website, use a tool like WP Smush and Compress them. Since it is free, you will be able to do it 50 per time.
Alternatively, you want to use jpg as images and also use a tool like TinyPng TO COMPRESS Your images.

#2. Clunking Plugins
Perhaps there are plugins you are not using, just as I did, you can delete it and keep your website free with lesser load time.

Note: Contact your webmaster to do it for you so you don’t mess with your website.

For me,

Below are the websites I have worked on (two were yesterday evening - appr 3+ hours (2 for each based on how complex they were).
(The websites loading times were bad than what you are seeing, it didn’t occur to me to make a screenshot first. One of them was 7 seconds+ and so on, no worries though)

[img]https://crackclapextensionhome.files./2019/07/crackclap-former.png[/img]
(this was before I remember to take a screenshot, was worse than this)

[img]https://crackclapextensionhome.files./2019/07/crackclap-reduced.png[/img]
(after working on it)


Want same result? Why not.


Free: as a way of helping Nairalanders.

I will optimize your website for free for you. The first 10 persons will get it done.

For those that do not receive high traffic in the evening, I will do it this evening and for those that have it through, from 12am – 3am will be okay to work on your site.

Time frame: under 2.5 hours if less strained, under 5 hours is strained, and under 24 hours if over strained.
Hope that makes sense,

Good luck and make more money.

More Examples attached

Read this on case you want to how to buy the best professional domain name for your business website, cheap.


When we talk of cheap, what comes to your mind? Low price means cheap? Well, it is not.

Cheap here means by knowledge and experience, I have found an alternative or the best solution which is not popular.

That I have a company and do not buy the idea of branding, and my competitor that does, does not mean my product isn’t better. For more on Branding, read the[b] “Coca-Cola Way by Mark Pendergrast”.[/b]

Okay, so how do you get the best professional name for your business website? I know what you think, let’s go to Namecheap. I guess you’ve failed this time because it isn’t Namecheap.

No doubts, Namecheap has given more in terms of branding and they deserve to be popular but do not talk of the rip off they include during a checkout.

This year, I saw that a Business name I wanted was $8, I wasn’t angry, I agreed to pay. What happened? At the end of the day I never paid that $0.8, I paid $3 more.

NameCheap vs NameSilo[center][/center]


NameSilo

Namesilo came on board in 2009 and since then has been making all the difference we do not notice.


NameCheap

NameCheap came on board around 2001 and since then mixed reactions and results have been obtained - from my experiences.


NameCheap Formation
NameCheap uses a formation of 343. Meaning, your website can be on and off without you knowing about it. Again, you can be ripped off when you want to pay the final amount for your domain business name.

NameSilo Formation

If your website name costs $7, then it is $7.



Final Notes

I am not here to condemn no company because if you were to be in their shoe, it gets complex. Be it as it may, that does not mean I should be reaped off..


How do I know this?

Recently I bought name cheap on Friday (22nd March 2019) and mainnnn, I was charged $9.06

But this morning, GTB said, in Naira, N3,306.90.

For me, this is ridiculous.

A client I did a work for bought his domain at Namesilo and it cost only N2,300.

[img]https://imgur.com/ZZV2mve[/img]


So guys, if you want to get a cheap domain.com, (not .ng ) you might want to go to namesilo…

But, was this rather the handwork of Namecheap or GTB?

So you want to change your WordPress site without a plugin, right? Well, if you want to do it with a plugin, a simple tool like TinyMCE Advanced can get the work done at the Editor stage.

But if you want to change the general fonts, a super plugin like Google Topography by Alli can do the job.

Alternatively, we can use the new WordPress Editor known as Gutenberg to change our fonts.
https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/02/create-a-new-post-in-wordpress-with-tiny-mce-advanced-plugin-installed.jpg


However, like I said, we are not using no tool, so, I will simple show you how to change your WordPress font without a plugin. Grab a cup of popcorn because it is a very simple process.


Top WordPress Font in a Website
The top fonts you want to change on your website are H1, H2, P (body or paragraph) and H3, H4.
However, most of the times, the most important ones are H1, H2, and P. So, that is what I am about to show us now.

Change Your WordPress Website Font Size in 2 minutes without a Plugin

#1. Go to Appearance > Themes > Customizing > Additional CSS

#2. Paste the following codes and tweak as you want.

For an example, you might want the Title Fonts to be bigger. All you have to is change h2 to something like 3 or 3.5. You can do likewise for other fonts.

h1 {
font-size: 3.5em;
}
h2 {
font-size: 2.5em;
}
body {
font-size: 1.02rem;
}

#1. Online Courses

You’ve heard of it, right?
Well, this is probably one of the most lucrative online business strategies in existence today. Why? Because you can charge an incredible amount of money in exchange for valuable information you package into an online course.

In case you want a quick proof, go do a quick Google search of successful online course creators and you'll come across some success stories of entrepreneurs making a killing selling their own online courses. Some, making multiple 6-figures per month. Insane right!

One website you can use to create courses absolutely free is called Teachable. This is a platform that allows you to create courses, host your videos and deliver your content to your customers.


#2. ADS

There are couple of really popular ways to make money with ads, one of which I've been able to make tens of thousands of dollars. The first, is to allow ads to run on your own website (blog). You can set this up with Google Adsense and when visitors come to your website and either view or click on an ad, you get paid.
Apart from Adsense, you can use Taboola, outbrain and more, and even medianet.


#3. Affiliate Marketing

https://i1.wp.com/freedominfluencer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Screen-Shot-2018-06-13-at-9.59.50-PM.png?resize=768%2C602&ssl=1

This is an old way of making money online. As a matter of fact, there are so many entrepreneurs who have such a great idea for creating an online course.
They put all this work into it and finally launch it, only to find out the market does not want the product they are offering. With affiliate marketing, you can choose to promote products that have been already proven to sell like hot cakes.
What the heck is affiliate marketing?

If you're unsure what affiliate marketing is, it's the process of recommending products or services to someone and when they buy as a results of your recommendation, you get paid.


Final Thoughts

There you have it, some ways to go try out things.
