Why Is Seun Not As Rich As Mark Zuckerberg? by Megaphone: 4:27pm On Aug 03, 2012 |
Just wondering since both of them are into the same programming biz. Anyone with answers? |

the difference is in marketing, when Facebook started mark launched it in various universities, (Awareness) nairaland could make more money if seun could just stop writing codes for awhile and focus on promoting the site. going into partnership with more offline businesses could be his breakthrough. I have a sound idea on how to make nairaland a multi million company without killing the fun in the house. goodluck to seun anyways. 3 Likes |

I think given Seun's conservative personality, he is happy with the steady growth of Nairaland. He is making more than enough money as it is right now (enough for him and a potential nuclear family in his future). Not every1 wants to be very big instantly. Sometimes, entrepreneurs enjoy the slow and steady growth curve because it is a process of learning and discovery. I personally, I have my own business too (website) and I could do a lot more marketing to grow faster if I wanted to, but I like the calmness of things right now (since I am atleast making enuff money). As time goes on, I ll roll out more campaigns and things to accommodate more growth. Peace out 4 Likes |

@Op Here is your answer, Nairaland has close to 1 million members Facebook has 1 billion members Nairaland is exclusive for Nigerians and friends of Nigeria Facebook is serving members from around the whole world. So i`m asking you, why should they be equally rich? 11 Likes |

One day a mechanic asked a heart surgeon, "we do the same business of dissecting engines and cleaning it up, why is it that you earn far higher than I do?" The doctor thought for a while and said, "try doing yours while the engine is running! that's the difference". There are so many reasons why Seun is not as rich as Mark Zuckerberg which is also why your own site may not be given you the type of income as that of your competitor. Learn the difference: 1. Facebook's Content Management System allows any 'dummy' go online and pay to advertise, while Facebook reaps. How many of you have advertised on Nairaland with such ease. The more you make your services easily accessible, the more you keep people coming and the more money you make 2. Facebook is about the most visited sites in most countries of the world,2nd in US and even No 1. in Nairaland's own homeland(where Nairaland is ranking 9). Bottom lime is that the more traffic you drive the more people patronize you and the more money you make. And here is a blog on how you can drive traffic to your website/blog; follow the link http://eloquentseo..com/2012/07/how-to-drive-visitors-to-your-website.html 3. One of the best ways to grow rich in any economy is to develop services that can be utilized and patronized by the rich. Facebook is used even by fortune 500 companies. Build your business to target every strata of society and watch the money rush at you. Why do you think the telecoms are making it? because they have different packages targeted at every individual. Look for ways to stratify your market. Ok, enough for today But one more thing: Don't forget Mark Zuckerber is a Jew YOU CAN'T BEAT THE JEWS-they are under a covenant I rest my case With these three keys any 'ediot' can make it big in the internet age 4 Likes |

Nairaland is a niche market, and suen has cornered it... if Nigeria's economic situation improved the owner of this site could find himself a very rich man. Hes done as much as he should imo. 2 Likes |

Techwriter: Bottom lime is that the more traffic you drive the more people patronize you and the more money you make. Most members are inactive or either have more than one registered account owing to bans. Bans have led to a sharp increase of late due to the heavy handedness of the newly commissioned mods especially that daft idi0t sexkillz on romance section. Seun does not delete you from the registers list or blocks your IP or whatever machine you use to log on . This is a ploy he uses to have a large user population but no one is buying it. There are sites out there that have more traffic than facebook in the U.S. but they get little or no advertisement owing to the anonymous posting modes. Advertisers need to have a demographic in the back of their hand inorder to know where and what to market. NL will slug behind because it patterns to no specific theme owing to several boards and also the anonymous user posting. |

of recent the "friend" thing was experimented here on NL and was later quickly dropped and the twitter "follow" thing was adopted. I wonder if facebook challenged NL on copyright infringement. 1 Like |

also the anonymous user posting.This adds to the sketchy, uncomfortable, and impersonal feel of the site. The anonymity is here to stay because i honestly think this site is patronized primarily by social outkasts and mentally unstable people. No one is comfortable enough to be a 'real person' on NL and i don't blame them. The instant i uploaded my pics to this site they were actually saved by several posters, many who i don't even know. the culture of Nairaland really needs to be cleaned up. 1 Like |

Mark Zuckerberg is ambitious and growth-oriented (doesn't care much about profit). Mark Zuckerberg is healthy and fit. Mark Zuckerberg is based in Silicon Valley, surrounded by great role models, world-class talent, and eager investors. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Ishilove:I would say around 80% of the site are weirdos, they save ppls pictures for unknown reasons and have obsessive erratic behavior. Just look at the sorts of ppl you find in the romance section. I would not count myself in my that category, but all i let my actions speak for themselves. |

Seun is just trying to be humble - who knows what evil eyes lurk on this site |

Seun: Mark Zuckerberg is ambitious and growth-oriented (doesn't care much about profit).I don't understand!If Mark Zuck cares less about profit yet making it big and worth billions of dollars why not tow his line. I believe you are hiding and protecting this your baby too tightly. Loosen up a little; look for investors, there are many of us willing to invest. It can become second to fbook in d world and 1st in Africa. The wisest man that ever lived said that he that seeks to save his life will loose it, but he that gives up his life will gain it. What a paradox. The owner of wikipaedia made it free and takes no advert and it became the most search engine friendly site. Don't (afraid to loose money. Throw the forum open,inject new ideas frm investors, and the rest will be history |

If Nairaland wants to catch up, Seun just needs to do three things. Make Nairaland better, incorporate Nairaland and bring in investors. It's as simple as that. |

Seun: Your really think catching up with Facebook is that simple? Companies do fail, especially when they invest in a impossible dreams. There are no impossible dreams. Dreams are dreams, you either attain your dream or you do not. Sometimes the time may not be right for some dreams to take hold, sometimes it may be a wrong approach or any other factor. But my advice about Nairaland is this: Make your moves one step at a time, do not try to rush. I commend your efforts and your achievements. Keep it up. |
