Prons and cons of Blogging Good day , so my thread with the same topic created in 2017 with over 30k views and 500 comment was deleted due to some reason best know to NL and their mods , so I’m creating a new one here .

Kindly contact us at Kennie tech today (www.kennietech.com.ng) Before I proceed , do you need a business website , VTU , E-commerce , Real estate .. We can help you design whichever type of website you want to create , Just reach me via the number below my signature or +2347083946059 Blogging in Nigeria Unlike every other business , Blogging is one of the most profitable business that the economy recession does not affect , NCC recorded over 105 million active Nigerian users on the internet , which means recession does not affect blogging , regardless of how broke Nigerians are , we will still visit the internet . Just like every business once you lack proper understanding and strategy, you end up going the wrong way .. Before i continue I'm a Web consult | Business Strategist | Business consultant | Web developer | Web manager | CEO of Kennie Tech , get in touch with us via kennietech.com.ng Okay , Let’s continue , You will Agree with me that we have many bloggers , over millions , but only few succeed , why ?? because they understand every necessary thing needed , Mind you , Blogging is just like any other offline Business, If you are not ready to spend & investment then I'm sorry to say "You might be one of the , I want to sell my blog" Type of bloggers. I can not guarantee how much you will be earning per day, But I can assure you , you will recover back your initial capital within a short period of time depending on your plans .. Analysis of how to monetize your blog After creating a blog , make sure your design is perfect , create all the necessary pages like (about us , privacy policy , contact us , e.t.c) , Opt in for the following in monetization of your Blog 1) Google adsense 2) Affiliate marketing (Depending on your niche) 3) Member subscriptions Now , you need to blog for money , that is why you must think in a way others are not . Think like it’s a business . According to AdSense , Nigeria is one of the country with the lowest CPC , Nigerians are not really favoured when it comes to Adsense ..for every click on your adsense account from a Nigeria User you might end up earning ($$0.01 - 0.07) But talking of countries like USA , UK , south Africa , Canada .. You get as low as ($1 - $10) depending on your niche , keyword ,search visibility , i know you are getting confused , You can call me for better explanation +2347083946059 Now here is a strategy from me , oh before i forget "I'm Business Strategist | Business Consult , i can raise your dead business all you need to do is get ready to spend" Be prepared to Spend on Ads , trust me with a Good strategist like me , you will always get high return in your earning from Ads , Many people just don't really understand how it should done that is why you end not getting the advert impression you wanted , I can help you in running Ads for desired countries, interest e.t.c and be rest assured to get double folds .. So , i can not disclose my strategy here , But a wise person should already get the concept of how you can earn over $50 from AdSense in a day .. Imagine you have 5,000 Page view daily, 2500 from Nigeria , 2500 from Top country with High CPC from Adsense as a result of our Facebook ads and some other means lipsrsealed not disclosing Imagine You have 100 clicks from Nigeria (Ctr 1% , CPC= 0.10) Your total earning should be in the range of ($10 - $20) Now having 50 clicks from Top country with high CPC (Ctr 1% CPC =$1- $2) that is ($50 -$100 ) Depending on your facebook ads Budget ... I hope somebody is smiling cheesy .. In a day you tend to earn over $60 - $70 provided , ($1800 - $2100) in a month , Now remove your adverts budget , web space fee , other payments , You should be left with at least $1000 as personal Gain ... Mind you , adsense is not the only way of monetizing your blog , But it is the major way ... Other forms of monetization include affiliate marketing , Offline adverts e.t.c , Get prepared to earn over $3000 in all .. Here is a breakdown of how much you should be spend in setting up your standard Blog 1) Domain - Depending on your extension and country of purchase .. Either you opt in for a Nigerian Registrar or Foreign Domain Registrar , (Just like you know , Anything Nigeria is not always the Best Idea , but preferably they could be managed for a start) So , depending on your financially capability and how well you believe in this business, You can either choose between a Nigerian Registrar and Foreign Domain registrar .. Talking of Foreign Registrar .Com ($10 - $15) depending on the registrar, I recommend www.Godaddy.com. you can check out their pricing list Talking of Nigeria Registrar .Com (3500 - 4500) depending on the registrar as well , for Nigeria , i recommend www.whogohost.com Now , after buying your domain , Congratulations , you are now a CEO ![]() 2) Get a WordPress Hosting Plan , like stated above , you have to choose between a foreign Hosting registrar and Nigeria as well (For a Nigeria Hosting plan be prepared to experience downtime , your website might go off for couple of hours without any tangible reason) For a foreign Registrar I recommend www.bluehost.com ($2.5 -$7 per month) depending on your website purpose , I have over 10 websites with them and perfectly fine , for Nigeria , I recommended the same www.whogohost.com (400 -2500) Incase you need a foreign host , I have a blue-host business pro shared hosting , I can help you host your website for 10,000 - 15,000 per year depending on what your website is about I can also help you make payment for foreign transactions 3) Development & Design - After getting this two, approach any Good WordPress Develope like me ![]() 4) Get AdSense - Google Adsense is no doubt the most reliable and used monetization program , you can be rest assured that you are definitely getting paid for everything you earn . Getting google adsense might be tough which is why you need a very good developer that understand the concept like me 5) Extra ways to get income. -Register for some affiliate marketing programs , Employ Good Content writers and watch as your investment grows !! ..

In life, you see some people going to and others coming. For any enterprise to succeed, the entrepreneur must have the passion for it. Bolt or restaurant, which comes first for you? Go for that with passion and high spirits, and you will succeed. 5 Likes |

YoungRay007: If you're in Lagos, do no, I repeat, do not go for Bolt. Just go for your restaurant business. Find a good busy location and set up there. Especially close to a bus stop or commercial area. Work from 10am to 10pm, you're good. But for Bolt/Uber, I won't advise anybody to go into that business if the person is based in Lagos state 3 Likes |

My one dollar advice: If you are the type that enjoys driving then Bolt/uber is the better choice for you. Pros: You are sure of saving at least 10k per day after fuel and feeding that is if u drive in lagos and work from 6:am to 3pm. You decide when to work and when not to. Not fear of security operatives if ur papers are complete. Cons: Fear of theft, so avoid working at odd hours, taking trips to unfamiliar destination like some isolated areas of ikorodu, epe and inter state trips. Dont be greedy, avoid trips with juicy offer. When someone is offering you 10k for a trip of 3k.please na red flag. All advice na from my experience. 42 Likes 4 Shares |

Man must survive, it's a cold world out there. Find someone who is doing a business and making sales offline. You’ll find many of them in Onitsha, Computer village, Aba, Alaba, Aspamda, Idumota, etc. Most of these people have no idea what goes on online. They also do not care what goes on online. All they care about is making sales and getting money flowing into the business daily. Be their online person. Bring their business online, and advertise to those who want what they sell. You will make money doing this. You’ll make a lot of money doing this. As a woman, you can open an online shop for that woman selling lace in Aba, and add money on top onto for yourself. That’s your own profit on every sale. As a guy, you can open an online store store for that man selling computers at Computer village. Read information from Google and publish content about computers and what people should look out for before buying a laptop. More people would begin to reach out to you when need laptops. Reach out to that guy who makes shoes and footwear in your neighborhood and be their online guy. Promote what they make online and add your own profit. Look around you, look where others are neglecting, you’ll find a gem. You can’t afford to be idle for long. You can’t afford to stay broke. You can’t afford to continue earning 100k salary every month. You don’t need to be a genius to make money online, and have a better life. Look for a business that is offline, bring it online and get them SALES. You will make a lot of money. Not just money... You will build your confidence. Your influence will grow, and... You’ll attract more opportunities to yourself. You need to start operating smartly. Look for a business that is offline, bring it online and get them SALES.

Transportation biz in Lagos would have being a cash cow cus of the population, but because of the the bad road and dishonest drivers ( if you are not driving it yourself) you might end up being frustrated when mechanic start calling bills, but in all of this nothing seem easy. Venture into the one you can manage yourself 2 Likes 2 Shares |

I am into bolt. Your location matters. It pays. You hussle at your pace and make good cash. I'll advise you go for bolt. As you save, expand into other biz that do not require much supervision. Biz like barbing saloon, boutique or even keke hire purchase. 5 Likes |

I would have ask you to Wass app me but then lemme say it here so that pple can learn or any intending prospect looking into doing bolt or Uber for a living. Listen to me, it is a good business if you can work your ass off including during the week. I have worked with bolt for and Uber for quite sometimes now but I quit at a point. If you want the business so bad, your location depends on sales and how friendly you can be, your best bet is to read your client immediately they order for a ride and during conversation on phone before arrival at the point of pickup, don't buy a used Nigerian car. Gather money to buy a sound tokubo car that will last you and if possible make your money from the trade to buy a new car but I don't think it as ever happen. It might have but I have not heard it. Sales on weekends are okay, especially if you pick up the online bois (yahoo) them fit show you love, infact buy shayo for you sef or double your pay and also they might ask you to come pick them up Lata when they are done. Your car maintenance is very complusry as you must pay your tithes to the mechs every week. Don't forget either of the two pathnering company deduct their percentage on each ride you take. However, taxify or whatever is not as lucrative as before, because alot of issues are now associated with this pathnering company which de won't tell you. Going into food industry in Nija now can also be lucrative if done the right way, I will stop here I'm tired of typing. 15 Likes |
