₦airaland Forum

Africans are always too concern about eating crumbs. Mark Z. of Facebook is a real winner because he created the opportunities for millions. Lets strive to create opportunities for our nation through information technology.

Why are we insulting ourselves when the true culprits seats in Aso rock sipping red burgundy on ice. We like show of words that don't produce any effect.

How many positive cause do we have in the nation? You that is complaining, what have you done to change your next door neighbor suffering?


Talking will not change a thing but putting our acts together and effecting lives in our own small way. He that is faithful in little shall be faithful in much.

I have always wished that Pat Utomi won the last conducted election. We Nigerians only have mouths to complain but when it comes to the time of action we fail to act.

If all Nigerians had supported true visionary leaders, like pat Utomi, it would have been a clearer fight for us to usurp the current PDP satanic forces ruling our nation.

We talk too much and act less. At least Oshomole was able to fight the wicked PDP forces in Edo state because the battle was clear. We still don't have a clear fight at the presidential level because most suitable leaders like Pat was not widely accepted or endorse by the Nation.

Elections are usually won before the true date of casting votes. A leader widely acclaimed is usually very difficult to cheat.

I have seen countless number of forum posts here that constantly condemn the nation rather than the few persons causing lots of these politic mess. I think we are undoing our progress be raining curses on ourselves. How do you feel when somebody curses you?

Nigeria problem is the people, all of us. A nation is built from its integral unit which is the family. The leaders we are complaining about are normal people among us who aspired to rule. The curse of their fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters are the factor thwarting their resolve to serve well. Words are powerful and they continually recreate and produce effect here on this Forum and many years to come.

We will keep producing cursed generations who can only continue the same curses as many are already doing here and the process continues on and on. If millions of Nigerians can start having positive thoughts and outlook about the nation, they will inevitably draw more positive attention and natural development to the nation.

If Nigeria is a cursed or dead nation as many here say, them you also have agreed to be under or inside a curse. Even though you run to US of A or B, you are still a Nigerian. Lets bless our Nation to secure a better future for our generation yet unborn. The so called developed nations you talk about today committed more grievous sin against mankind and Africa but today no body curses them for such acts. Imagine the US of all nation selling Africans and treating them like goats and cow during the reign of slave trade. Today it is a forgotten issue and we still call America God's own country. When they took away our true leaders and brains that would have build our nation. Didn't you know they only took the strong and mighty among us during slave trade. They left really the weaker ones behind and yet they have the guts to say we are a nation of barbarians and monkeys.

What really is Godly about America? We should think out of the box and see our currently wilderness experience like every work with the creator. Israel also went through this and became a better nation even the US also went through it.

Lets bless our nation and shame those using the very few bad eggs to condemn you and I as a corrupt and primitive nation.

I am not corrupt and my generation are not primitive and we will build a better Nation no matter what.

Have you ever thought of why every start-up (new) services or online business usually start with a stage called Beta. Every new businesses must start at this stage and it is the test or trial stage. 95% of most businesses on the internet are still on the beta stage meaning they are testing to really find a way to make it work, no business is truly stable until there is real test which can not be done in a factory sense. This brings us to toxic waste on the internet.

Lots of online businesses gives out tons of toxic wastes daily before really getting to the alpha stage (Stage of semi stability) and many online income seekers take these beta companies with all their hopes without really knowing they are also trying to learn out how things work. The real winner online is those venturing to build a business online and start also learning using the beta approach. The truth remain that the beta (test) stage cannot be removed from the development stage of every business. Consumers online must take hid to this and thread consciously.

Stay on top of the food chain
Those on top of the food chain are those providing goods and services on the internet. Little capitals are usually required to startup a business online and test if truly that your dream business can really succeed. With less than $300 seed capital, you can setup one and have a global reach and an ability to make millions of Naira with little overhead cost or you could just end up discovering that that your great business idea is not that great after all. The bottom line is still low risk. For the consumer the risk is higher and also the stake.


Trade with more easy funds
Trading with passive income generated from other internet businesses ease the tension and risk with which you trade on currency, stocks or commodity. Also a multiple income source is a booster to any trader. Stay focus and strategise. Acquire more knowledge, skills and wealth this period because the time to really invest against the future is now when things are already at their low except you expect the world to come to an hault.


Many are already taking the lead
Many youths are already taking the lead by starting or cloning most of the international business model, take a look at www.onsalert.com, this portal was developed with about $300 and the owner Onyideseun is already learning the act of starting up his own business online. You can join his community and trading activities. Check out New Nigeria Club (www.newnigeriaclub.net), you will also see a business built by same youth and the founder was also a winner. What about Nairaland.com, another youth who also is a winner by starting out his own business online. All these business started with less than $500.

Take the lead and consume less of the toxic waste on the internet. Some suggested businesses you can start now are listed below:

* Web EMail Services: You can start providing web email services like Gmail, Hotmail or YahooMail. You make income from serving ads using ad networks like adsense from Yahoo, Google etc.
* Startup a Trading Community: You can also startup your own trading community where you offer daily trading resources and interactive discussion boards for all your users. A community gives lots of income generating opportunities, like paid areas, advertisements from ad networks, affiliate marketing etc.
* Job and Career Portal: This is one hotspots for the current economic condition of the world. Many have lost their jobs and are seeking newer jobs. There is a large market here. Monetise with SMS Alerts, Ad networks, Paid consulting and paid access to private job database.
* Startup your own trading platform for stocks, Forex or Commodity. Monetise with commission collected for every trade executed.
* Startup your own social network for business networking. Monetise with ad network or paid membership.
* eCommerce Portals: You can also run an online shopping portal to support other vendors. People can build a shop within your portal and sell items. Monetise by collecting commission for every sales and also ad network. You can also charge a fee for each shop owner.
* The list is endless and I will be more than glad to get you a comprehensive list of possible income sources you can startup now and join the lead of online entrepreneur.

Ignore these advise and you will still be consuming the toxic wastes and stay within the lower chambers of the food chain. Think smart and think out of the box.

Look forward to this artist hitting the airwaves strongly soon. Check some of his track.

George_D:
JPHIZ? really?

Yeh, he sings my kind of music and that is the kind of tune I want from Naija jams. We in the Niger Delta wants more wordings and local slangs. That is what makes us more unique in Naija. Rough, Native, Uncolonized and quicker than any other Naija region.

Check this one and listen to the slangs and you will agree with what I am saying.

I think JPHIZ is under rated too.  When you hear him sing you will think he should be high there.

Global crisis is really having a toll of the british economy. The US FOMC press release said that there is ease now and global economies are beginning to expand gradually.

I still think that there will be more layoff before new opportunities will start evolving in the job market. Talkcom can you state categorically what truly your firm does in the UK.

Does your coy have a branch in Nigeria?

I think there is too much emphasis given to tithing by churches these days. The emphasis on giving money in church these days is quite alarming and because of the religious settings with which this is practise, one is always forced to ask God alone to judge.

If Christ and the apostles collected 10% of the monthly incomes of their followers on a regular basis, they would have been richer than king Solomon. I have read in several places in the bible where Paul was admonishing the corinthian church and other churches he planted, thanking them for feeding and sheltering him. If he collected 10% of their incomes regularly, I think he wouldn't have needed their shelter and food.

I am not against ppl giving 10% of their income as tithe, but the manner and the opulence that we see Men of God today tells that the whole process has suddenly changed to business.

Saw this article on the Daily Independent News paper today and I felt I should share it with us:

As I was contemplating on what to write this week, I received notification of a cheque from Google of my earnings from their programme "Google Adsense." Immediately, a thought struck me, why not share the success stories of entrepreneurs who have been boosting their monthly income by displaying Google Adsense adverts on their websites, blogs, forums, etc.

I have written about two articles on how to generate income from Google Adsense, but as a refresher to my readers, let me explain again briefly before sharing with you case studies of entrepreneurs who are using the program to generate continous income to their business.

Google Adsense is one of the advertising avenues Google offers. Adsense are third-party ads that sit on your site. The program is free for you to use and make money each time someone clicks on an ad on your site.

It can be display tactically on your site without distracting prospects visiting your website. A good example of how to get prospects to focus on your content and still make money from Adsense is my site www.megabucksteam.com. The Google ads are placed at the bottom of my sales copy, and it still generates over $200 in few weeks. Below are case studies of entrepreneurs who are earning more income partnering with Google.

Case Study1
HomeTips.com started out in a backyard clubhouse. Seeking a quiet, woodsy spot for writing home improvement books, author Don Vandervort converted the bottom floor of his sons' two-story tree house into a small office. He launched HomeTips.com from that office in 1997, essentially as an online portfolio to promote his books.

Until about three years ago, HomeTips' main source of revenue came from writing, publishing, and licensing books and content to other companies, such as Sunset Books and Microsoft.

Though his book and content business was thriving, the website's meager revenue came from online sales of guides and reports. According to Vandervort, "It was an interesting way for us to stay in touch with our visitors' needs, but a money-losing proposition." In 2003, Vandervort heard about the Google AdSense program and thought it might be helpful for creating incremental revenue that could work for HomeTips.

He started by testing AdSense on a few pages. During the first week, he remembers that AdSense revenue paid for coffee; the second week, it paid for lunches. The model clearly worked, so he began expanding the program across the entire site. Now AdSense revenue pays for all salaries, overhead, and business development.

Case Study2
Univision Online owns and operates the most visited Spanish-language Internet destination in the U.S. Each day, users visit Univision.com nearly 850,000 times, accessing everything from the latest entertainment and sports news to classified ads and reader forums.

Maximizing revenue from its site is one of Univision's chief goals. With these goals in mind, Univision began investigating contextual advertising more fully and changed ad vendors, implementing Google AdSense for Search and AdSense for Content in June 2005.

In terms of revenue, the Univision team immediately saw positive results. Gauging the success of AdSense a year later, Univision has seen AdSense for search revenues grow by 160 percent. Revenue from both Google AdSense for Search and AdSense for Content increased by 103 percent. It produces revenue without requiring an internal sales staff, providing a way to fill ad space at lower fixed costs and letting smaller advertisers benefit from the broad reach of Univision Online.

Case Study3
TeAch-nology offers services and resources designed to support educators who want to effectively incorporate technology into their classrooms. At TeAch-nology.com, educators can find best practices information, as well as a variety of free classroom materials and support tools.

A seasoned team, including pre-K to K-12 grade teachers, professors of higher education, leading educational consultants, small business consultants and experienced web designers, maintains TeAch-nology.com. There's no charge for accessing many of the resources found on TeAch-nology.com. Educators who want more in-depth content and resources can purchase memberships for a modest annual fee.

Founder Paul McKee explains that he can offer the site as a free service due to advertising campaigns and sponsorships. In terms of revenue, McKee notes that AdSense ads outperform other forms of contextual advertising by 8 to 9 times. He notes that he's "extremely satisfied" with AdSense, which now accounts for 50 percent of company revenue. Equally important, McKee says that filling his ad space through AdSense frees up efforts to sell memberships, another key source of revenue. "We don't have a full-time ad sales team," McKee observes. "AdSense takes care of itself, allowing us to focus on running our business."

There are several case studies which for lack of space cannot be included. You can send mail to megabucksacademy@getresponse.com with the subject "Mail More Google Case Sudies."

You too can be a case study tomorrow, if only you will take the first step today.

In the US, more than 10million new dot.com start ups are registered every year. This is because business ideas are usually tested online before proceeding to add the brick-n-mortar structure. In the under developed countries, we jump into businesses without testing it first. Starting a business under the brick-and-mortar structure is quite expensive and if it doesn't succeed, it could be very devastating.

Testing your business model online could cost you less than N30,000 and you could use that to test the market response to your product and also that could help you restructure and remodel the business.

Note: more than 90% of every new start-ups don't succeed, which means you will need to try about an 100 models to get 10 successful business model. Stay ahead in the food chain by becoming a provider rather than a consumer of toxic wastes on the internet.

The web is the fastest way to make real millions online if truly you are the first to run an online portal for your city, state, school or country. Portals are a way for people within your city, state, country or school to access local information, jobs, advertisements, upcoming events, news and stories locally. It is a great way to give your local community a virtual presence online. People currently use the web to locate virtually everything they want from business to relationships. Does your community, city, state, or country have a portal that handles the  daily online need of its people?

If no, your chance of making it big as a web entrepreneur is almost certain as you will be an eye and a hub for all businesses and activities in your community.

Starting an online portal is very easy; you don’t need to be a tech expert to start one. Portals are built with advanced content management technics making the addition of pages, updating and deleting of pages as easy as an email account. The administrative access makes all pages editable on the fly.

How do Portals Earn Revenue?

Online advertisement is the number one income generating source for online businesses. It has been so simplified that within 24hours, you can have thousands of adverts running on your portal. You start earning the very moment the adverts are on your site. You earn an income for every page opened (impressions) and also for every click on any of the ads on your site. Also your portal is a medium for you to Sell products and also promote other business activities. Every business requires people and a portal gives the owner the leverage of having a large crowd to sell to. Most protals are used for major marketing campaigns by some companies. When a company discover that lots of people in its host community uses a particular portal daily for networking, accessing products, viewing adverts and also getting updates like news and major local stories, they will have to promote their product using that portal.

How Do These Revenues Sum Up?

You earn about N5 for every click on an advert listed on your site and another N50 for every 1000 impressions on your site. By page impression we mean that every time somebody opens a page on your website, you get one impression. Assuming a visitor to your site came through the home page and later went over to view your contact page that will be 2 page impressions. Active websites can give over 20 - 50 page impression per user daily. For a better insight into the earning potential, let use an illustration:

Lets assume that you have about 1,000 regular visitors on your site daily and they click on an average of 3 ads daily (Note, you must not give incentive to encourage people clicking on these ads), this means a single visitor will be giving you an average monthly click of about 90 and your 1,000 daily visitor should give you over 90,000 clicks. 90,000 clicks should give you revenue of 90,000 x 5 = N450,000 monthly.

Also you get paid per 1,000 impressions. For every page open, you get one impression. Assuming you also have 1,000 daily visitors to your portal and each visitor opens or browse an average of 10pages daily, that means you will be having 10,000 page impression daily. Within a month, your total page impression will be 300,000 pages. 300,000 impressions should give you a revenue of 300,000 x 50/1000 = N15,000. We get an average page impression of over 50,000pages.

Your responsibility as a portal administrator is to keep the portal updated to encourage more traffic. Our local city portal gets about 50,000 page impressions daily from just about 5,000 regular visitors. See the portal’s Google Ad report below:

https://www.sapeleonline.com/images/screenshot2.jpg

From the Google Adsense campaign run on our site, we generate over $150 daily and sometimes we get about $500 when traffic is very high.

From the snapshot above, we have a total page impression of 72,449. This represents the total number of pages opened or viewed by our visitors for the day. This number (72,449) can be generated by less than 1,000 users if the portal has dating and job classifieds. We also have about 772 clicks which is about 1% of the total page impression. From my study of our daily report, I discovered that every 100page impression generates 1 click. The total revenue generated this day is $124.84.

NOTE:
The per click or page impression revenue is not fixed, sometimes it gets very high and some other times low. There are days you are paid $1 per click and some other days less than $0.04.

An active portal can give daily page impression of over 1,000,000 daily. The emphasis is not on the amount made daily but the sure revenue you make daily.

How to Get Adverts

It is very easy to get adverts for your portal. We have tested both Google and Yahoo Adsense and they are most efficient. Google is ahead of Yahoo when it comes to advertisements. They have more than 10,000,000 adverts running to supply your portal daily. They put up adverts on your site and every revenue made from it is shared between your portal and the ad vendor (Google or Yahoo!). These adverts are filtered according to your site content.

It is FREE to signup for Google or Yahoo advertising programs for publishers or web owners. These advertising programs are a revenue sharing partnership program where these big ads vendors gets the adverts from companies around the world and showcase them through partners’ websites. These advertising programs are regarded as ADSENSE.

How to Start up your own Portal

The Razor portal is the cheapest and most advanced for small local portals. They come with FREE installation, online management training and one year technical support. The features of the Razor portal are outstanding. The Razor portal enables all your visitors to be part of the daily update of the portal making it very alive.

This site www.sapeleonline.com is a prototype of the Local Razor Portal.

Tourists already arriving Nigeria in numbers to view this magis goat. This goat is making more news in the international community than our president.

From Softepedia
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Goat-Arrested-for-Armed-Robbery-in-Nigeria-102805.shtml

One newspaper even features the black-and-white goat on its national front cover, alongside some straws. The case has sparked massive interest in the country, and people are really into the case, so to speak. They see this as a confrontation between science and tradition, and many are camped outside the jail where the goat is being kept, expecting news of the situation every moment.

To really make money online, you must be willing to learn and also have some patience. Doing business online comes with a lot of suspicions and also difficulty getting real clients, but if you are really serious about getting a successful income stream online, you will need to stay the test of time and many will see reasons to do business with you.

So what business will I advised you do? My advise for every Nigerians wanting to make money online is to strive to be on top of the food chain. Be a provider not a consumer. Being a provider gives you an edge over scams and also allays the fear of being scammed.

1.) Before choosing the class of eBusiness you intend going into, we will need to look into the market currently attracting a lot of Nigerians and third world nations. These are the stuff that gets NIgerians crazy and willing to spend their hard earn cash:
[list]
[li]Multi-Level Marketing Programs[/li]
[li]Forex Trading[/li]
[li]Online Stock Trading[/li]
[li]Online Presence - Like Blogging, Forums and Small dot.coms[/li]
[li]Money Earning Programs[/li]
[/list]

These are the very strong ones attracting more Nigerians. I will list others which are a bit very passive and if you are disciplined and patient, you can earn money from it. Some very quiet ones can earn you over N1000 daily and passively.

So going back to the hot list above, how do we position ourselves to make the best from them. lets take them one after the other:

i.) Multi-Level Marketing Programs
Multi-level marketing or MLM programs are a very easy way to get large pile of funds from people crazy about marketing. So your duty as a top level player is not to consume it but to provide it. Most MLM sites you see today are simple scripts going for about $25 - $250 which is even far lesser than the amount you will use in buying a slot or signing up with most of these MLMs.

No matter how lazy you are, you just need about 2 active networkers or marketers to signup with your program and once that is done, you will start seeing more and more persons hitting you with funds. But always state your terms very clearly, this very important when the whole program starts growing very large. Nigerians sees everything as investment or a trust given to you to hold for them. MLM are no investments.

ii.) Online Forex Trading & Online Stock Trading
The craze for Forex trading in Nigeria is beyond imagination. As a top level player, we again stay on top of the food chain by providing the service for traders. The easiest route is to provide a trading platform for this large niche. Getting a platform is very easy at the moment because of the global credit problems hitting most US Online Brokers. They are very willing to partner with any credible person or small organisation to help them survive these crisis times. So get a Forex or stock trading Platform and get it branded in your Coy name and you will be shocked at the number of Nigerians that will be patronising you. Anyway, you will be doing them a great favor as they will be more closer to their platform that the usual norms of using brokers far away in strange shores.

Starting up a Forex or Online Stock platform is not that hard. It is far easier that trading itself. The whole process is very automated and all you check daily is what commission came to you and which of your trader is giving the most commissions. The softwares are very well designed to ease the monitoring and management process.
