While it seems like TikTok is probably the worst thing that happened to humanity since Kpop, a rather good news is that you can make money with it as they've decided to start paying content creators.

To make money you want to use a VPN and get things done.

The criteria for payment

* Be at least 18 years old
* Live in the United States
* Meet a baseline for followers
* Consistently post original content that doesn’t violate community guidelines.


Will TikTok Last, Toxic?

I guess they will be banned in the US soon. Would serve them right, since China also blocks all the American apps and websites.

However, the tension is, they've long been fingered as a potential Chinese government spying tool.

I once read an article that suggests they're considering being sold to US investors to douse the tensions.

There are a few Fiver gigs you can get started for free. https://isuawealthyplace.com/fiverr-freelance-jobs-examples/

EagleNest:
It serves us right because we joke alot with important issues and think that's how the rest of the world is. Very soon they'll start banning us from entering their country. Let's continue the status quo and see if we'll not implode.

So, what is your proferred solution?

For those seeking ways. I think you wanna read my blog below and see YouTube videos.

It's a serious case.

Dotherightthing:
21. Please spell words correctly when you post, and try to use perfect grammar and punctuation.

So, the words Structure used here addresses the issue discussed?

Brother. I don't know the way out here for now. Seeking to buy an SEO product but no way.

It's another annoying and frustrating moment.

Went online to purchase a product for my website. Guess what?

Nigeria is the notable only country deleted or eliminated from the list.

Now let's see how this affects me and us.

#1. It affects my business, completely confused on what next.

#2. It affects my immediate environment : if my fam depends on me and I can't purchase a product for my website - work - and make money then lack is on the way.

#3. It affects the economy. No flow of cash which starts from the immediate environment.

#4. It affects emotional health being.

#5. It affects moralistic living - how many times will one regret being a Nigerian?

I never chose to be a Nigerian...

I was talking to myself, it's high time we became realistic because what we think doesn't affect the average person or you will surely affect your loved one when they come to this stand.

Now, how do I transact for my business?

Horrible to be a Nigerian?

We need to fight this else more suffering will be on the real internet entrepreneurs struggling to make a living.

The punishment for internet fraud should be made public and announced to the whole world to see our efforts. I'm really tired of being banned from transacting for my business just because I'm a Nigerian.

Imagine Chad, Niger, Ghana and other smaller countries are in the list, but Nigeria?

200 Million People?


There have to be a solution for this country else if we depend on prayer or babbling of words alone then our faith is baseless and may not work...

Google Planner is also a great tool.

Making money online without paying anything was my middle name back in 2011. But it doesn’t get to good until you become frustrated because it might mean those investing in their online business have no fifth sense to money usefulness or are not money frugal nerds, right?

The good news is that having been privileged these years to be online, I will share with you a lot of outstanding ways to make money online with $0. AKA, make money online without investment.


MAKING FULL-TIME INCOME WITH FREELANCING

This involves solving the problems of potential clients. If you can write then many bloggers may want to hire you.

For example, on this website, we have the Hire us section, this species our freelancing gigs. Meaning, you can hire us to do the stated gigs with super quality because we believe in 120% Value.

If you have to create a one-page website, do that if you can, and if not there are other freelance websites you can start with. But before that let’s see how to typically make money with freelancing.


#5. Making Money with Transcription Service

You can start a transcribing gig from the comfort of your home. Here, what this means is to convert an audio, mp3 (podcast) or other formats to words.

The amazing thing here is that a 20 audio transcription can fetch you for $10. And if you do it well, you get more from the client and referrals.

How To Create A Gig On Transcription

In your Chrome browser open up Google docs. Go to Tools, then Voice typing. Go ahead and play the audio/video on your phone and Google Docs will type it out for you. Once again, go through it and you’re done. Send it to the client and get your cut.


#4. Document Conversion Services

This service involves converting the client’s documents from either, PDF or other formats to a Kindle-friendly & accepted format.

How To Build A Document Conversion Freelance Gig

All you need here is your DOC application – MS word. Set the margin to Kindle accepted format. The margin should be at least .25 but the text can be easily read with .5.

Go ahead and take the .doc file (not new .docx), remove any images and upload to Amazon KDP and reinsert the images.

Go through your work and you would have been done.


#3. BECOME A FREELANCE GRAPHIC DESIGNER

I like guys that can draw or turn images to cartoons. Seriously, I am still looking for a pro who will do that for me. I know I can go to Fiverr but I can’t just do it. #My Bad reluctance.

Now if you are good as a graphic designer then there is a lot of work available for you. Some of the notable side gigs for graphic designers are website logos, marketing materials, packaging and labels, blog and social media images, and much, etc.

To get inspiration, you can visit the following websites.

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
And here I am looking for business start-up capital.

Set a benchmark for your profits and donate the excess to some noble cause.

Also, find another area of interest that really exerts you and breaks the monotony.

Nice input as well. Thanks.

Yeah, that sounds nice already. Thanks.

Hi, that's a good intake. Thanks.

, So, as a Digital Marketer, today I'm not sharing how to make money online, be a freelancer or any sort to save our youths.

I want to share the life some of us pursue but might turn a nightmare when the real success actually comes.

Here's the success story...


Ok this is probably a weird one, but I need some advice.

Writing this, I felt like I couldn't write 'my success'. It just feels like something is broken and all of this money is like a mistake?

I sell a lot of online digital products (software) and my income has been really skyrocketing this year. Several years ago I was really proud when I first got 50$ a day, and now I get 5000$ a day. It's just surreal. I pay my taxes try to stay on top of it but I feel like it's just impossible or something.

I just can't look at these numbers -- I have this constant feeling like I did something wrong. My wife loves to see the numbers but it doesn't make me feel good...I just feel like I can't breathe.

I don't want to buy anything, I like my old computer and my shit car. We only spend about 2000$ a month. The rest I just put into my index funds.

My wife doesn't really like to buy stuff either, but she likes to send some money to her family. They are struggling these days because they are just basically farmers in a poor asian country.

The government buys their crop but lately they just live on 100$ or 200 a month.

Have any of you had this feeling? I thought success would feel amazing but I still feel the same way. In fact, I had to set a strict budget otherwise I was legit just getting depressed.

It felt like everything in the shop was free, not like I actually had a bunch of money. That resulted in this weird panic buying thing where I just always bought the most expensive stuff I could find.

What's your story if you've at all found success?

Nice. This food is good for bloggers and online entrepreneurs like us.

Don't you think this should go to the Educational Section?

You guys here in Nigeria have to make serious Nigerian bloggers and net entrepreneurs trust you.

I lost my business due to a Nigerian hosting company. How what do you bring to the table.

Seriously, you guys should be learning form big hosting companies like SiteGround, Flywheel to model your company like them.

I don't understand why no 3 Nigerian hosting company can do that except Domain King that is trying a bit which is not even a Nigerian based Hosting company.

Hey, can I see your portfolio?

Thank you. The issue was solved by updating the Theme. Turns out the Vendor had updated the theme and the new Snippet codes.

A simple way.

Get a friend on WhatsApp. Credit his account to buy a cheap product from your link and secure your membership.

More hacks here.

How I Outranked And Took The 2nd & 3rd Spot - $100 Earnings - Case Study

Hi, everyone.

I'm an affiliate marketer who has seen a bit of success and I'm not here to tell you that it's easy unless you are willing to put in the work.

I still make money with Impact Radius from 2 of my affiliate articles ranked #1 on Google. That is where the Impact Radius money comes from.

More so, I make relatively a handful of hundreds of dollars from my blog in local currency. The blog had less than 1,000 visits last month - June, from Search Console.

For this one, I reviewed 1 project and make money off it - ranked Number #2 and #3 for the keyword term.

Let's see how I moved from #6 to the 2nd & 3rd.

There was a competitive keyword I targeted. It was, or it is a money keyword.

Since I only bought the domain name in November 2019 and wrote the article the same month, the DA is I think 4... and less than 5.

Over time, I was ranked #6, and I saw that my competitive strength to outrank others was almost impossible.
I had no option than to I hack the process - what is common to savvy SEO guys here on Reddit and the experts you know.

With no traffic as expected, I went to my favorite keyword research tool - I used SEMrush.

I got a lot of long-tail and relative keywords, plus Autosuggests from Google, and also, Related Terms below the page on Google.

The action part.

I settled down and wrote optimized content for each subtopic and published it as due.

Over time, the article moved to #5 as I was even ranking first for certain queries - featured Snippet made possible with H2 and H3s.

When I updated and shifted the date of publication to July 2020, the article moved to #4 on ranking.

In my last post, I shared how I lost the snippet which I'm still fighting to get it back - seems Google won't forgive for now. No worries though.

Since ranking on number 4 was like a birthright. I had to do more. Here is what I did.

I built different web 2.0s backlinks to it and used the same targeted keyword to interlink other posts on the site.

Some Web 2.0s I used - Blogger, Medium, WordPress, Pinterest.


Quick Note
1. Try something out and fail - you'll learn a ton from it based it must be based on what is working.
2. Go for long-tail keywords if the main one is taken, you can still rank #1 for the long tail with featured snippets.
3. Know how to extract keywords (I've got a short video if anyone wants)
4. Updates your articles to current months - Google loves it - as in, updated articles.
5. Build Web 2.0s backlinks if the competition is too much for you.
6. Guest post for higher backlinks if the competition is out of the roof-top or buy backlinks.
7. You don't only need a 5,000, 10k, or 50k visits blog to make your first $100.
8. You can still outrank DA of 30 with a DA site of 4 - but your article must be well optimized.

I'm glad that these few dollars help gives the motivation to blog and explore more. With the earnings, I've been able to invest back to the site, buy affiliate programs, and check then out before reviewing to my audiences and more.

Still from this project, I was able to sub for SEMrush and extract a lot of keywords for my 4 niche sites.

I have free short videos of how I used them section by section. (Only for anyone interested else other free tools like AlsoAsked, AdWords, Google Planner, UbberSuggest will help for a start.

I hope this helped anyone.

I'm not a guru but I'm open to learning from my seniors here as well. And if you don't know much, you can ask your questions and I will answer you.

SaAyomikun:
Hi Nairaladers,

I've noticed these acen-like spots on my face since around 5 years ago. Then, I didn't pay much attention cause I was erroneously convinced into believing it was caused by eating too much oil. Well, I cut down my oil consumption totally and those spots remain there.

The shocking part is they exist only around my eyes. The remaining of my face is smooth except around my eyes.

I have used several ointments including Ytacan and Funbact- A, still no difference.

Recently, somebody prescribed an ointment called "RETIN-A" for me but before using it, I wish to seek advice from the good people of this forum.

Please, do I go ahead to buy the RETIN-A or there's a better option?
I need advice, please.

Hi, here is what I use for acne - after shave. I think it will help cause it's so ACTIVE.

#5. Review the Products you've used

One of the best ways of doing this is reviewing the products you've used.

That way they're super confidence that since you are reviewing from experience then you know what you're talking about.

Yeah, you can google some good mock-ups for ebooks.
