Business / 9 Super Easy Job You Can Do On Fiverr And Make Money Fast by youngmajor: 10:02pm On Mar 25, 2018
You intend to make 100k in One Month? Then this is the key to achieve that.

Before I start, I would love to say this…

“The reason why people won’t expose their secret of making money on Fiverr without charging you money is that they don’t need competition”

The more competition, the fewer money sellers make. An average Nigerian seller on Fiverr doesn’t want you to know his secrets so that he pays you less to do the job for him.

But why should you be contented as a reseller, when you can be the main seller and make so much money that you can get a new car within six months?



I bought my first car after 6 months on Fiverr, and I believe that you reading this can also do same.

All the gigs I am about to mention are things anyone like you and me can do without stress, and make so much money to fund our lifestyles.

If you are looking to make an extra side income or even quit your job like I did, then freelancing on Fiverr is the platform for you. I hate the 9 – 5 job so much like you do, and that’s the reason for this post.

Some people make hundreds of dollars per month from Fiverr, just from selling simple services like the ones I will outline.

Confused about what is Fiverr?

It is a freelancing platform where people come around to buy or sell services (which are known as gigs) on the platform. Anything you want (whether to design a portrait, artwork, website, mobile application), the services are sold on Fiverr.

On Fiverr, you sign up to render a service, and you are paid in return. The lowest amount you can ever get for any service is $50 as a novice. Then after few months, you can earn about $1000 performing simple services.

On a website that has been around since 2009, there are millions of people looking for who to hire for a job. So regardless of what you have to offer, you can make $100 easily on Fiverr.

What are the Easy Jobs you can do and Make Thousands of Dollars?


Become a Human Billboard


So simple! People will pay you to write a message on your face or even body, take a picture of it to enable use it for promotion. It could include drawing a client’s logo, company name, slogan, etc. This isn’t for everyone if you aren’t cool with it.

Blog Commenting

The same way you are going to comment on this thread, people will pay you $10 to comment on a blog for them. It sounds easy, right? Lol… OH YEA!!!

When I tell you that there is money on freelancing on Fdon’t take it as a joke no more.

All you need do is just reach an agreement on how many blogs and comment needed, and you do your job and comment on blogs for money.

But remember that you have to set up your account well, and I can help you do that. Just reach out using the blog link below.

Social Media Promoter

If you have a social media account and you aren’t making money, then something is wrong. Social media is an integral part of digital marketing. Everyone from big brands to small bloggers wants to go viral on the social media, and they are willing to pay for it.

Whether it is Facebook likes or tweets to a large audience, buyers on Fiverr must surely patronize you.

You can easily set up gigs that offer likes on platforms, like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

A friend charges $30 per tweet, you can also do the same, and could increase as your positive reviews increases too.

Website Tester

This was my best Fiverr gig with one of my accounts. As long as you can browse the internet, you can do this job.

Startups, new blogs, and established websites wish to know if their site is user-friendly. This means that they give you the job of testing their website, and pay you for your review and feedback.

You don’t need any technical expertise to carry out this task. Just test the site, document your review, and earn more than $100 in few hours.

Become a Virtual Assistant

Blog owners and business owners are searching for people who can help them do things that they don’t have time for. Your services range from Scheduling blog posts on Twitter, Facebook, or even data entry.

People on Fiverr are always looking out for Virtual Assistants. So if you are reliable and can be easily reached, you can make about $200/week as a virtual assistant.



There are several others like:-

- Becoming a Sign Holder
- Creating Video Testimonials
- Do a voice over
- Prankster

All these are sure ways to earn above $500 every month doing things you love doing. I have written extensively on how to go about all these gigs in details.

BAD NEWS!!!

Experts on Fiverr are going to add these to their existing gigs and make more money. While you keep debating if this can work or not, people who know it works will capitalize on it and keep making more money.

Now that you know how doing these simple things can give you such a huge amount of money –

What are you doing with your Internet Connection and Phone/Laptop?

Business / 4 Reasons You Would Remain Average Financially by youngmajor: 4:06pm On Mar 19, 2018
[img]https://3.bp..com/-YX6iVpNeBYw/Wq_Of0acipI/AAAAAAAAAMc/aDvwN2Bx_ZgxiY-5Zk5gG-dQQDnU2fIfwCLcBGAs/s1600/REASONS.jpg[/img]

I am not trying to be negative in my perception of people, but there are several mindset – especially financially, that leads to struggling with money – or in most cases, you roam on the average.

As a young entrepreneur who has coached and mentored several people to make money without living the comfort of their homes, I have seen many mindsets that made them remain average.

These reason I am about to list might not sound like a good reason to those who already have these mindsets – because they already have it, but digging deep, it is a financial killer.

Several millionaires who have written several books have written about it, and I am just trying to highlight it once more to those who may not have had any opportunity to read such books.
Are you looking for the reasons why you would remain financially average? See them below

Single Source of Income

If a politician who earns millions still has the vision to setup several establishments that would help rake in money, what about you who earns some few thousands on monthly basis?

Rich people become rich by spending their wealth to open other sources of income. Poor people remain poor by protecting their money and buying things for pleasure.

60% of the Nigerian population belongs to the former. They are cold feet to invest in profitable ventures. The reason for this leads us to reason number 2 that will hold you from becoming rich.

Fear of failure

Thomas Edison said he hasn’t failed 10,000 times, he only found 10,000 ways that won’t work. The fear of losing money makes average people to create an “Imaginary castle” and live in their own world of wealth.

They prefer managing the small amount they earn than the thought of losing their money. Personally I failed 5 times and lost huge amount of money before I found a model that worked.

When it comes to businesses like affiliate Marketing, I consider myself a king because I worked hard to get there. Is fear holding you back from becoming rich? Then the 3rd reason might be what the cause is.

Not Willing to Learn

Smart people are those who utilize existing business models to create and make money for themselves. Why should you start from the ground to know how a model works when you can learn from someone successful already?
Business moguls like Bill Gates, Robert Kiyosaki, Donald Trump, and etc have taken their time to write materials that have helped

upcoming entrepreneurs create successful businesses.

If Billionaires like the above can write books, sell, and people buy and make money, why can’t you take the same route?
Doing trial and errors in this 21st century is foolishness when several materials like the one I created is there for you.
All you need to do is copy someone’s method, modify and tweak it, then take action and make money.

Failure to Take Action on Productive Ventures

A rich man said “ideas are like kites; whoever catches it flies with it”. The moment you procrastinate about taking action on an idea shared, someone else somewhere has gotten the same idea, taken action and is making money from it.

If you want to remain in your average financial state, keep procrastinating on any idea shared. Continue to blame the government, and everyone for your financial state.

The power to take action is in your hands, it takes discipline, hardwork, and persistence to make money from the millions residing on the internet. If I can make so much money from several online businesses, you also can do it.

See you at the top!

Business / Mindsets That Guarantee Success In Online Business by youngmajor: 6:50am On Mar 17, 2018


Many venture into online business but quit as soon as they got started because they fail to understand that making money online does not only require hard work but demands having the right mindset. Not having the right mindset is the underlying cause of frustration and widespread belief that achieving success in online business is difficult at best or unattainable at worst.

Whether you are planning on starting an online business or you are a quitter, good news is you can achieve success by starting off on the right mindset or be open to adopt rules of obtaining new mindset.

Here are a important rules for obtaining the right mindset for success with online business.

1. Be confident of achieving success.

The first step towards having the right mindset is to convince oneself that achieving success online is realistic. To tread this path demands that online business should not be considered as a dream platform but a realistic opportunity of getting ahead financially. Here, with apologies to Robert Greene is an excerpt from his 48 Laws of Power that effectively drives this point home. "If you are unsure of a course of action, do not attempt it. Your doubts and hesitations will infect your execution. Timidity is dangerous: Better to enter with boldness". An easy way of gaining confidence is to stand on the shoulders of those who have been successful with online business.

2. Start where you are.

Having established confidence, the next step is to put aside the perfect image you have concerning the business in order to enable you initiate action. Although having a perfect visualization is healthy, it often sows the seed of indecisiveness which prevents one from initiating small steps. Brian Tracy best explains this with; ''Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly at first".

3. Work Hard.

It is unarguably true that nothing worth having comes easy. This goes across the board for all aspect of human endeavor including online business. Rid yourself of the expectation that you can earn big with little or no work because success requires blood sweat and tears, in other words, extremely hard work and unstinting effort.

4. Beware of "the dabbler's mentality".

While you make concerted efforts towards achieving success in your online business, you should beware of the "dabbler's mentality". To simply explain, the "dabbler's mentality" is what happens when one gets filled with immeasurable passion at the start of something new but gets bored overtime and finally shift focus to something else. Should this mentality be the reason why you want to consider online business then you're just in the right place to get oriented by Thomas Edison who said "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up".

5. Start creating goals.

Having goals is a sure way of surviving the long walk to success in online business. It is necessary you have both short and long term goal in written form to aid visualization of the success you crave for your online business. Ideally, the written goals should be placed at strategic points where you can't help noticing every day.

6. Own a BIG WHY.

Goals in written form could pass for a wish list or mere fantasies if you fail to take note of why you need to achieve them. Taking notes on the BIG WHY will ensure that you do everything within your means to achieve your goals.

7. Commit yourself irrevocably.

Committing yourself irrevocably demands that you make continuous efforts at being confident of achieving success, initiating small steps towards perfection, acknowledging that success requires hard work, recognizing the role of persistence in achieving success as well as writing down your goals with reasons why you badly need to achieve them.

Business / Convincing Reasons On Why You Should Consider Information Marketing by youngmajor: 10:26am On Mar 14, 2018


Time was when food, clothing and shelter were considered as the most fundamental basic needs of man. In this contemporary age, the need to get informed has "unofficially" made the list. Information can be simply known as the provision of facts or knowledge and its study.

It is safe to conclude that the search for information is inborn, it explains why Man had since time immemorial sought to find and know God, it is the reason behind numerous space exploration and to most effectively drive the point home, it is the reason why you are reading this for reasons best known to you.

People would do anything to get information by hostile, courteous or exchange means because they badly need it. Fortunately, information marketing has been made easy by the Internet, which is why no one can force you to deliver at gunpoint or feign friendship but simply acquire what they need through exchange or payments.

This brings us to what is information marketing? Information marketing deals with the creation, promotion and sale of information products to people who are in dire need of it. This makes information marketers people who make money from aggregating the knowledge they have on relevant niches in eBook, video, podcast etc.

Here are convincing reasons why you should consider information marketing.

1. It can be done without starting capital:

Virtually all business that you can think of require starting capital, however, information marketing is one peculiar business that doesn’t demand you “stand on tradition”. This is because you can compile or aggregate knowledge for sale to people that are in dire need of it. This can be done anytime, anywhere at no starting cost for a readily available market. To turn your dream earnings to reality, you could also utilize affiliate marketing to become a member of online millionaire’s hall of fame.

2. There is little or no competition:

Nigeria’s population has been projected to be over 140 million, of which an extremely small percentage are information marketers. This makes the demand for information greater than supply and consequently make the business lucrative for the selected few that are engaged in it.

3. It is a business without limits:

Thanks to the internet, there is no limit to which you can market your products as an exchange of information products for money can be done anytime to users anywhere. Once payments have been confirmed a link for downloading the product can be sent to the user by manual or automated means.

4. You can make continuous sales.

A successful sale of an information product will make users seek more products from you. The products could either be those you created or those of other marketers whom you have obtained a license. In addition, you can form a partnership with other marketers to sell your products or more conveniently give them a contract to create a product for you to sell.

Distinguished marketers of information in Nigeria

Since the advent of the Internet, many have increasingly discovered and made money out of people’s insatiable desire to get informed. Notable among these opportunists are a number of homegrown icons. They include;


1. Akin Alabi:



Akin Alabi is a great information marketer who created his sports betting company, Nairabet out of money accrued from the sale of information products.

2. Sunny Obazu Ojeagbase:



Sunny Ojeagbase is one among pioneers of internet marketing in the country. The chairman of complete communication LTD with subsidiaries in complete sports newspaper, success digest and complete football established his publishing empire from wealth acquired through internet marketing.

3. Efe Imiren:



Efe Imiren is one among other women who have proved that information marketing is not gender specified. The information marketing queen has a number of investments built on internet marketing.

In addition, some others distinguished themselves in creating applications and software as information products. They are the founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates. The developer of PHP, Rasmus Lerdorf, The founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg among others.

Many have taken advantage of internet marketing to build wealth for themselves. You too can join the league by identifying a gap that needs to be filled. Doing this can earn you earn you sustainable for a lifetime.

Business / Tips On Becoming A Successful Freelancer In 2018 by youngmajor: 3:02pm On Mar 12, 2018
Congratulations on finding something worth doing to escape a frustrating financial lifestyle. While freelancing is capable of improving your lifestyle, it could be also detrimental to your general wellbeing in the long run if a number of rule of thumb are not observed.

The fact that nothing good comes easy should not rob you of the comforts of life as it only takes a few observances to make the most out of the rewarding benefits that freelancing has to offer.

To that end, here are a number of practices to guide you in your quest for an overall fulfilling and productive lifestyle through freelancing.

1. Offer passion oriented freelance gigs.

Offering gigs on activities you’re passionate about keeps you going and naturally presents your best to your clients. It also underscores the essence of being self-employed which is deriving satisfaction from what you do.

In fact, findings of a number of research conducted over the years reveal that a large percentage of Self-employed individuals derive “absolute satisfaction” from what they do compare to a far less percentage of their employed counterparts.

In addition, Self-employed individuals are the happiest in the world. Why join the league of “being your own boss” if you can’t reap the benefit of “absolute satisfaction” accrued from Offering passion filled freelance gigs?.


2. Have a likeable workspace.

Considering that most freelancers work from home, it is necessary that a specific section of the home be dedicated to a likeable workspace. The “likeable” implied here describes a work environment you would love to work in. It would also be a bonus if other people consider it likeable too.

In fact, studies have revealed that likeability of your workspace influences Psychology with a consequent effect on productivity.

It is worthwhile to note that

Ø A well-developed furniture develops activity in the regions of the brain that is concerned with aesthetic recognition.

Ø Colour schemes in a well-lit room influence analytical thinking and attention to minutest of details.

Ø In addition, having plants inside your room can avert fatigue as well as increase productivity.


3. Dress according to your destination.

It has been scientifically proven that the manner in which we dress is the manner we are addressed. In fact, people can have an impression of moral character, educational level, social position, trustworthiness and economic level by a mere appraisal of your dressing.

Therefore, the fact that you work from your comfort zone should not influence you to dress loosely as there is a correlation between dressing for success and achieving it.


4. Be choosy with clients to work for.

Working with a good client positively tells on your freelancing career just as working for the wrong ones does otherwise. Except in case of desperation or financial constraints, it is ill-advised to work for any client that comes calling. Nonetheless here a few traits that differentiate good clients from their bad counterparts.

Good clients:

Ø Comprehensively communicate with you on what they want

Ø Urge you to take all the time you need in order to deliver on quality

Ø Pay you as at when due.

Ø Are respectful and good responders to contacts


5. Exercise.

The importance of exercise to brain power and general wellbeing cannot be overemphasized. It is even more important considering the fact that freelancers could actually lose track of when to work out as their lives are not as regimented as those of employees.

A few sit-ups, jogging hundreds of meters or taking out time to push up will go a long way in limiting stress and exciting the regions of your brain that brings out creativity.


6. Socialize.

Remember the whole idea of freelancing is to have an overall fulfilling and productive lifestyle. A fulfilling lifestyle goes across the board for all aspect of human endeavours including socialization. Although freelancing could be characterized with unpredictable schedules and concerns that borders on finances, strive not to be caught up in the web of social isolation by taking out time to interact with others.


7. Improve on what you do and acquire new skills.

Here, with apologies to Paulo Coelho are wordings that best drive home this point. “When we strive to become better than we are everything around us become better too.” Improving on what you do could range from offering better services to keeping up....

Business / Why You Have No Excuse To Be Broke! by youngmajor: 3:22pm On Mar 05, 2018
Lately, we’ve been seeing receiving mails in our inbox and reading comments by Nigerians on forums and blogs stating that they are broke and how sad they are about it. The aim of this article is to speak to those who are dissatisfied with their financial situation. When it comes to money issues, a lot of people tend to sugar-coat words, but brace up because this is a frank talk.

If you are broke, it’s not your fault. We all get broke at some point in our lives. But if you’re continually broke, then something is wrong. The whole blame ends on your table. You can’t and shouldn’t continue to blame everyone for your financial situation. The current state of the nation and the disposition of the government shows why blame game doesn’t help.

Many opportunities surround us that it doesn’t make sense for anyone to continually lament being broke. Get this fact: we are living at a most privileged time in history because it is easier for anyone to become wealthy than ever. Yes, the population has increased but so has the opportunities!

Think about it for a second and you will discover that many people who are wealthy today are first generation millionaires and billionaires. They built it from scratch! A major percentage of these people achieved that goal by running a business rather than hope for a white collar job (no offense to those who do white collar jobs.) So if you’re complaining while others are seriously earning, the fault is yours, really.

3 primary reasons why Nigerians don’t start businesses

For a plethora of reasons, starting a business is a great leap to financial freedom! However, many Nigerians don’t have their own businesses. There is a variety of reasons but three excuses top the list.

1. No capital

This is by the far the most popular reason why Nigerians do not own businesses. While there are many who have ideas to run businesses, there are equally many people who don’t have ideas to run a business. Yet, “no capital” is the foremost excuse on the lips of both categories of these Nigerian youths. Meanwhile, there are people who started businesses with money that wasn’t their own and another group of people engaged in businesses that didn’t require capital.

2. Unfavourable business environment

This reason is obvious as many companies are shutting down operations in Nigeria. It appears the business environment in Nigeria continues to worsen with the passing of each day. Studies from global agencies have rated Nigeria low as being favourable for business. It’s almost a miracle for start-ups to succeed in the country.

3. No business idea

What can be more terrible than having a business idea and no capital? It is having the needed capital and no business idea! It can be very worrisome because money lying fallow without a target is at risk of getting squandered. Lack of business idea here refers to profitable business idea that identifies opportunities and solves problems.

Could online business be the solution?

While the above problems bedevil potential entrepreneurs, are these same problems existent in online businesses? Let’s do a quick check.

1. Do you need a capital?

When it comes to online businesses, you need little or no capital to begin at all. For instance, if you want to start a blog, you may need to pay for your domain name and hosting. For freelancing, you need virtually no financial input to begin. What of affiliate marketing? It’s the same! The basic capital that is common to all online businesses is just your time.

2. Any worries about unfavourable business environment?

Yes, Nigeria can be very frustrating but this frustration does not extend to the internet world. Provided you engage in legitimate business online, you have no cause to worry about inventory, tax or staff. In fact, you can run your online business independent of the Nigerian economy.

3. What of the business idea?

Getting a business idea to earn online is not as tedious as that of offline businesses. To help you profit quickly, we will share two online businesses you can begin today and start earning almost immediately!

Most lucrative online businesses in Nigeria

There are many online businesses today you can start earning from. These two online businesses below are lucrative because you get paid in foreign currency which doubles income you you could have had working in Nigeria.

Pictures are a way of reliving moments that are dear to our hearts. They remind us of our precious moments. In a technologically driven world, most of these pictures ultimately find their way to social media accounts as few people now use hardcopy photo albums.

While the internet provides a way to catch fun and connect with people who are miles away from us, it also serves a source of income (part-time or full-time.) So, rather than just have fun online, why not also make some money?

One of the many ways through which you can make passive income is by selling your photos. We bet that you never knew that photos you capture can be of high value online. However, they are! The saying, “a picture speaks better than a thousand words” is still true.

Many people from across the world are looking for pictures of places, things and ideas that they have never seen before. Others are simply looking for pictures to illustrate their various writings. Whatever their motive, the good news is that you can earn sell your photos online.

What kind of pictures can you sell?
You can sell any kind of photo you can think of. The market for photos is wide and covers several niches. However, you must ensure that these photos were taken by you to prevent copyright issues. You may also not lift a picture online for sale simply because it’s not copyrighted. Such types of photos are often referred to as public domain photos. They are meant to be used commercially for free.

How do you start earning?

1. Pick a niche
Again, the word niche pops up in this sphere of making money online. Niches help you zoom your focus on one specific area and become an expert at it. Every successful photographer has the kind of photograph he captures best. Aside from quality, you must also take into consideration the frequency with which you can take some shots.

Here are some of the niches in demand:
• Pictures of people
• Pictures of work situations
• Pictures of cities
• Close-up pictures
• Pictures of things (cars, houses, books, computers, etc)
• Pictures of nature
• Pictures of animals

2. Join a stock photo website
There are many popular stock photo website on the internet you can start earning from. These sites accept the photos of both amateurs and professionals alike. If you’re an amateur photographer, sites like Dreamstime, Shutterstock amd iStock photos are good for you. But if you’re a professional photographer and you’re confident of your skills, you should check out Getty Images or Corbis.

All theses stock photo sites have their rules and requirements before they accept your photos. If you don’t work with it, they won’t hesitate to throw your photos back to you. So always take note of their requirements such as resolution, size, file format etc.

Don’t just register with one site. After scanning the several websites and you understand their requirements, you should be able to pick 2 or 3 you can work with. It will help you generate higher revenue since you’re tapping from three traffic sources.

3. Start taking photographs
Once you register on the site, it’s time to start taking photos! Unleash the creativity in your by taking different shots in different tones, positions and different subjects. Don’t be in a haste to finish with taking photographs. Sometimes, a simple posture or feature on the scene can be the distinguishing line between good and great. Always things about what you will like to see if you were the buyer.

While you’re at it, ensure that you take high-quality photos. Buyers don’t buy bad photos. So ensure you have a good phone camera or digital camera. Ensure that the images are not blurry, have sufficient light, and details buyers would like to see. When you’re done, edit the photos to make them look better. However, ensure you do it moderately so the picture does not end up rejected.

Top stock photo sites you can sell your photos

1. Shutterstock
This is one of the most famous stock photo sites in the world. Shutterstock allows you to determine the rights on your photos so that your rights can be protected, and also gives you credit for the photos you upload.

2. Fotolai
Run by Adobe, Fotolia has been in existence for over 10 years and is one of the earliest photo-selling websites. When you upload your photos to Fotolia, they become part of Adobe stock so that they are available in Adobe applications. This makes it easier for buyers to make purchase.

3. BlueMelon
This stock photo site allows you to integrate your blog or social media account so any photo you upload can easily appear on the website for purchase. BlueMelon also provides several options through which you can choose to be paid.

4. Alamy
Does the idea of keeping to rules freak you out? If yes, Alamy is probably the site for you. On the website, you get to upload your photos easily because the rules are few compared to other stock sites. They are one of the best online places to sell your photos.

Business / Can Nigerians Really Make Money On Facebook? by youngmajor: 10:30am On Feb 28, 2018
[img]https://4.bp..com/-zWuEfhqM4HE/WpZ1SlOB7HI/AAAAAAAAASA/sWGFb30yAHoLppu-bvY_JzDUR9Yc6kIMwCLcBGAs/s1600/How-to-Make-Money-Online-with-Facebook-1.jpg[/img]

The interest to earn online continually heightens as many people are becoming interested in putting their data to good use. One of the places of such interests is Facebook. Facebook has the largest monthly visits as over 2.13 billion users are active on the platform. Daily visits are estimated to be about 1.15 billion people.

Interestingly, the largest age group of people on Facebook is 25 to 34 which represents about 29.7 of its active users. And the average time spent on Facebook per visit is 20 minutes.
Like never before, many people are using the social media. However, the desire to earn on these platforms also mounts. Perhaps, many people are realizing that you can do more than just upload selfies and post comments on Facebook.

If you’re part of the people spending so much time on Facebook or you’re wondering how you can benefit from the huge population of users on the platform, the good news is that you can make money on Facebook.

There are several ways to make money on Facebook. To do this, you have to pick one of the several ways online and apply it diligently.
Here are the three top ways to earn on Facebook.

1. Earn money through Facebook page
A Facebook page remains one of the top ways to earn. Knowing how to operate and monetize one is vital to your goal of earning. So if you have a Facebook page that’s been unused, it’s time to dust it and get it set. You don’t have one? Creating a Facebook page is quite easy and you can get one up and running in 10 minutes.

Like a blog, Facebook pages work best when they are niche based. Don’t try to do and be everything on Facebook. You will get your audience confused. You need to project a single consistent image to them about what you stand for. To get a good niche, you need to do a quick evaluation to see what Nigerians love on the social media. There are several examples such as lifestyle, celebrity, OMG, travel, humour, literature etc.

Again, it’s important you realise that you’re not trying to reach everyone on Facebook; your aim should be to reach a target audience. Once you set up the page, the next step is to create and publish fresh and engaging content. Create room for your page followers to contribute and encourage them to share the posts. Build relationship with them by asking them questions that makes them talk about themselves or share their experiences.

As your followers steadily increase, you can monetize it by accepting sponsored ads from people who are interested in reaching your target audience.

2. Earn money by selling products on your page
The advent of the internet has made it easy for people to buy whatever they need or like right from the comfort of their homes. You can take advantage of this by selling products to people. While you give regular updates to your audience, you can easily slide in posts that advertise your own products.

There are several kinds of products you can choose to sell which, of course, must be relevant to the people that constitute your audience. You can also sell digital products like ebooks, software etc If you’d like to boost sales, you can occasionally offer discounts on the products.

If you have no products of your own to sell, you can still sell products that are not yours. For instance, you can make use of the affiliate programs of eCommerce websites like Jumia, Konga, Amazon, etc. By promoting products on your page, you will earn a commission on each completed sale through your link.

3. Become an influencer
If you don’t want to own a Facebook page, you can still make money from your regular account. All you need to do is become a Facebook influencer. An influencer is someone who has a large followership on Facebook on their personal accounts. You can become one by regularly making posts that people find interesting.

If a Facebook page seems too strenuous for you, you can still earn money through your regular account. You can become a social media influencer. An influencer is someone who has a large followership on Facebook on his/her personal accounts. Facebook influencers typically have the 5,000 friends limit on Facebook and several thousands of followers who regularly read their posts.
Posts made by influencers could be on entrepreneurship, creative writing (many Nigerians love stories), lifestyle posts (where they share their thoughts and happenings of their day), hilarious posts and jokes, or critical analysis on politics, religion or any other subject.

As you continually make these posts and grow your followership base, you can expect to be contacted by brands to write a sponsored post for them. You may even be recognised by your local or state government (yes, social media influencers are that powerful in Nigeria) and things could develop from there.

In conclusion
By adopting any of the approaches above, you can earn money on Facebook. You can even add a fourth to it if you’re a blogger. Facebook remains a way to build a strong brand, increase awareness about and it ultimately drive people to your blog.

Now it’s up to you apply what you’ve read.

Career / Truth For The Wise: Don’t Expect More Jobs In The Future by youngmajor: 2:22am On Feb 19, 2018
[img]https://2.bp..com/-3gjA-WO3XpU/WookycnZmqI/AAAAAAAAAMA/ZMuFIH5roAUiaKNoAjBhwqxMvpKd653rACLcBGAs/s1600/welcome%2Bto%2Breality.jpg[/img]

One of the greatest problems confronting governments around the world is that of unemployment. It has been the sole reason why an administration was voted out and why another was elected. Needless to say, one of the shiny promises of the present regime in government during the election period was that it would create 3 million jobs. The Donald Trump’s administration considers lower rate of employment as one of its greatest successes.

This point will not cease to be an important factor in every sphere of the globe because the low rate of unemployment will translate to lower crime incidences. Yet, despite how important this is, the future doesn’t look too good. History has shown it, and the current pattern of events is already working towards that goal.

A look at history

For the sake of those who may be interested in examples, let’s take a look at one or two historical events that share a semblance with what’s playing out in our day.

The invention of earth moving machines

In the early 1900s, the construction of roads and bridges was a huge task that required a lot of manual labour. To build roads and level grounds required huge manpower with shovel, cutlasses, mules and other crude tools. As some writers put it, the whole scene pretty much seemed to be part of the Stone Age.

However, this began to change as one man, R.G. LeTourneau , wanted a way to execute the projects faster and at a cheaper cost. Being a mechanical engineer, he started inventing machines and earth moving equipments that could get the job done the way he envisioned. Within his lifetime, he had over 300 patented engineering designs and played an integral role in building some of the famous earth moving machines used during the second war.

However, this technological stride came at a price as it led to many of the people who offered their labour for money losing their means of livelihood. It was indeed a difficult moment in the United States as the news of the inventions was a sweet bitter pill which pushed the unemployment rate up.

The creation of internet phone calls

Away from this event faraway in history, let’s use another example that’s easier to grasp. Right from the invention of telephone by Alexander Graham, many people wanted an opportunity to communicate at a cheaper price. While instant messaging from AOL seemed like a good deal, people wanted to communicate better and in real time. This prayer was answered in 1995 when the first voice internet call was made, referred to as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).

However, this technological upgrade took time to spread to other parts of the world. WhatsApp, for instance, though created in 2009 didn’t begin voice messaging till 2013. This technological improvement sparked problems in Nigeria (and other parts of the world) for telecommunication service providers. By 2016, Nigeria Telcos were hashing a plan to block WhatsApp and Skype because of the revenue shortfall they caused in the telecoms industry. The mere fact that the telecoms companies could agree on one thing speaks volumes.
When this didn’t work, and the companies continued to lose subscribers resulting in a sharp fall in revenue, it was time to put in desperate measures. That triggered off massive retrenchment of staff with Airtel once relieving over 3,000 of its staff of their jobs in one move. Many can still vividly remember this period. It was an avalanche of one bad news after another.

A look at the future

While there are many indications that that things are headed that route like never before, for the sake of space, let’s quickly analyze two future technological goals that are doomsday prophecies in themselves even though they are still technological advancements.

The long discussed global warming issue was one of the reasons that fuelled the invention of the electric cars. The cars would strike out the problem of emission of smoke which is bad for the environment. By 2030, most countries would have phased out the use of electric cars. This invariably means demand would drop for oil and would likely cause at least 1/3 of the workforce in oil countries lose their jobs. Consider the fact that Nigeria depends on oil as major source of income and you’d know the economic crisis that happened last year may just repeat itself soon except measures are put in place to diversify.

On the other hand, WhatsApp recently announced that it has integrated payments that would run like mobile wallet into its app. This means tougher times are coming for banks as this would mean lesser money in traditional bank accounts. You are probably aware of the mass retrenchment that happened in the banking sector last year; with this financial innovation from WhatsApp, it may just occur again in another heavy fashion.

What should a smart person think?

As more innovations are popping up to advance ease of life and business, more people are bound to lose their jobs. In all this, what should the smart person in Nigeria think? The answer....

Business / Top Reasons You Should Make Up Your Mind About Joining Fiverr by youngmajor: 11:16am On Feb 16, 2018

By now, you must have heard or read about Fiverr and how it has made life easy for many people. However, what you may not know is that Fiverr is still an unfamiliar place to many people because they don’t grasp the benefits it brings.

Sadly, Nigerians constitute one of those nationalities that are yet to take advantage of freelance as a whole. Other countries know about what they can they can gain from it and are joining freelance sites in droves. For instance, according to a survey conducted by Forbes, freelancers now make up over 35% of US workforce. That percentage represents about 55 million Americans. Don’t these people know something that you don’t?

The interesting part of all of these is that the population of people who go freelance does not indicate lesser chances for you. The reason is that the sky is big enough for everyone. In as much as you have a skill that you can sell, you will always find buyers who are willing to pay you for it. And as Nigerians, we are naturally good at anything we give our attention. So, you can be confident that you can earn better than many people from other countries if you give it your best.

Now consider the following reasons why you should join Fiverr.

1. You learn on the job yet get paid for it

Anybody who is a freelancer on Fiverr will agree to this fact. You don’t have to wait till you are perfect before you start selling your skills. As a matter of fact, what will bring you towards perfection is frequent practice of your skill. But what can be better than the fact that you are learning the ropes of the job but you are getting paid for it by different buyers? That’s the beauty of working on Fiverr. Other freelance platforms are not so encouraging to beginners like Fiverr.

2. It’s a cheap way to earn

If you are a worker, you are probably aware that a sizable part of your income goes into expenses surrounding your work such as transportation, dressing, feeding etc. If you go into freelance, you don’t have to worry about spending to ensure you keep earning. Aside your data, freelance costs almost nothing to start or operate!

3. You work only on what you can deliver

Any skill you have is an indication that it’s something you enjoy doing. Unlike scenarios where you get tasks that you don’t like; in freelance, you work based on your strengths. You pick a niche that you are comfortable in and then work as though you are having fun. You can as well punctuate work with making phone calls, checking your social media accounts, singing, or doing anything you like. Pure fun!

4. You don’t have to work from 8am-5pm

Who says you have to put in nine hours of work each day before you can make ends meet? Then that person hasn’t heard of Fiverr. As a freelancer on Fiverr, you have a flexible working schedule. Whether you work best at night or during the day is not a problem provided you meet deadlines. You can work from 8am-10am and have a long break only to resume work at 4pm-7pm. This is just an example all freelancers can relate to.

5. It’s a great way to earn full-time

So you are looking for a job and you’re yet to find any? Try Fiverr (after all, it costs nothing!). You can divert the data you use on the social media to an avenue you can earn from while you wait for one of your job applications “to click"...

Business / An Honest Opinion On The Pros And Cons Of Making Money As A Freelancer by youngmajor: 6:06pm On Feb 15, 2018
[img]https://4.bp..com/-MSgaYToflm8/WoW7plgcXMI/AAAAAAAAALA/mWKQjOlYWscA4tbr2VWcakvhNtz9AvqIwCLcBGAs/s1600/Make-Money-with-Fiverr-Getting-Started-Nigeria.jpg[/img]
The doubts surrounding the reality of making money online is gradually waning in the country. However, the level of doubt for the various models of earning online varies.

Quite a number of the emails we have received have come from sincere truth-seeking Nigerians who want to know how real making money on Fiverr can be. They were of the opinion that it seemed too good to be true as they only heard of the good sides and no bad side at all.

Needless to say, we couldn’t help but agree to their observations. Many people tout making money online as though it’s the best thing since the Garden of Eden. We are not saying it’s not either. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

As we promised those whose mail we replied, we want to give an honest, non-biased review of making money online. It’s true that no one should be tricked into a situation they’re not prepared for. If you’re a person who likes sugarcoated statements, you may want to stop now.

If you’re reading this paragraph, it means you really want to know the pros and cons of making money on Fiverr. Well done! Time to get a dose of honesty!

The cons of working on Fiverr

1. As a newbie, you will not get orders in droves

You may have read that you can make six-digit income on Fiverr. That is possible. Very possible. However, if you join Fiverr today, don’t expect to have that kind of income immediately. It will take time for you to be able to earn your targeted income.

The reason is not farfetched. As a newbie on the platform, clients would be wary of you. No one wants to give their jobs to a beginner because they can’t vouch for the quality of delivery you can offer. Even you as a person, who would you rather give your jobs to: someone who you’re certain would do it perfectly or someone you think may mess up your work and make you revise it again and again. That’s the logic. Nobody wants to revise a job they already paid for.

However, since everyone cannot be the same, there are people who would be willing to give you a try. These are your first clients and can become your regular customers if you do their work well. As the number of clients increase and give positive reviews, people will be able to trust you and start giving you their jobs.

This process typically takes a month or two. So don’t get discouraged if the many sales don’t happen in the first year. If you build a reputation of exceptional quality and prompt delivery, you will eventually attract customers who will be willing to pay higher than the floor price of the platform.

2. To make more money, you’d have to work hard

To earn on Fiverr is not really a problem. The problem for many people is earning the amount they want. Now that’s an issue. Imagine a scenario where you earn $5 per hour. It means you may need to work for 10 hours to earn $50. This is not a bad figure if you convert it to Naira.

However, if you want to earn more than average, you must work for it. This invariably means you need to go the extra mile to deliver quality stuffs to your client, act as professional as you can and build your reputation. As you do this, you’d be able to charge higher for your services.

The important thing is that you are patient and persistent while you consistently deliver excellent services to your clients.

3. To earn higher, you will need to upgrade your skills

The simple truth is that all skills are not valued at the same price in the digital marketplace. Some are worth more than others. The rarer a skill, the more people are willing to pay for it. For instance, article writing typically costs $5 while Email marketing can cost up to $50.
If you are joining Fiverr, it’s okay to start with the skills you have. However, if you want to earn more, you need to diversify and upgrade your skills. So if you can proofread, write articles and so forth, you can start earning on Fiverr immediately. However, we advise that you learn new skills when you start earning some cash.

The pros of working on Fiverr

1. You can earn more than most working class folks

As we showed in our previous articles, most graduates earn less than N50, 000 monthly. That pay covers almost 10 hours of hard work per day. That’s too much time to invest in a job for that salary. But can you blame them? Things seem not to be working in the Nigeria.
However, compare that with a newbie who earns at least $100 in the first month and $200 in the second month. That’s already more than what the average Nigerian worker earns yet with little input of time.

2. You can increase your earnings by working more or working smart

Well, while this happens to be a disadvantage from one perspective, it’s also an advantage from another. It takes most offline workers minimum of a year to get a pay raise. Sometimes, hard work alone may not make this possible; even prayer is required.

However, with Fiverr, you can choose when you want to increase your earnings. As a freelancer, you can start earning higher right from the moment you can conceive the thought because you can put in more hours.

Nevertheless, smart Nigerians on Fiverr don’t just work hard; they also work smart. They do it through a system called Fiverr Arbitrage. What this simply means you can hire someone to do the job you received on Fiverr for a portion of the....
