naijaman3: timesup234: timesup234: The two statements above from you confirm what most people here have been saying that you don't know what you are talking about from the start of this thread. Now I agree with them. But before I totally give up on you I will try to break it down for you with the hope that you will understand. No matter the volume of your sale, if you don't manage your business very well your overhead cost will be more than your revenue (your sales in this case). In which case you will be operating at a loss. Take note that: Profit = Sales (Revenue) - Cost of Good Sold - Operating Expenses (or Overhead Cost). So, even if your operating cost is "Zero" which I doubt, you still need to remove what it cost you to buy the goods you claim to be selling from the price that you sell the goods for in order to determine your profit. So, again while I am not saying that you are not making profit daily (I agree you are making a profit), what I need you to state is what the amount of the profit is. Is it all of the 300K Naira (which can not be true because you will at least pay for the goods you are selling) or N200K or N100K or 10K etc ? Your response to this will determine if I should totally give up on you. 3 Likes |

naijaman3:young man can we get back to the fact that nigerians are suffering in america? Calculating my business for me like you even know what i am doing for a living. I am making profit. I told you my sales and you expect me to tell you my profit as well. Even people living in the village dont need to attend harvard to do their minus and plus. It cant be personal now when you cant score points on the original reason for this post |

timesup234:Funny dude.. I wonder why people r still replying u, when u r bragging abt ur daily sales and not ur daily profit. Most businesses in Nigeria (buying & selling) gives little but constant profit as turnover. If u sell a goods of 1M ur profit won't be above 5-10% so i will take it that u make sales of 300k and profit 30k daily.. Don't full ur followers 2 Likes |

Please guys let's stay on the topic....... Making a sales of 300k daily is nothing because people make more than that in day, but the point is how much is ur profit if you take away the cost of the goods and the overhead cost that should be the question...All the same.....please let's stay on the topic...... |

To me there's no point arguing on this everybody/everyone should do whatever him/her wishes and fit deem to better their life either by staying or travelling out. There are some people that if they don't move from wherever they are they won't make it and vice verse we should all ask for God's guidance that's all. Home or abroad both are good it all depends and boils down to individual goals and desires 7 Likes |

Re: Lies Of Nigerians Living In America by sharpwriter(m): 11:20pm On Nov 23, 2017 |
donniemc: Okay, thanks sir ...one more question. I read about something: When you finally published your apps, are they all enlisted under free app or you priced them. If you priced them, how can we set price right that will not be too costly or too cheap. Thanks. |

sharpwriter: Hello, There are 3 ways you can monetize an app: 1. Freemium model: [/b]Make the app free to download but include Google Admob ads in it. The more people download your app the more your ad money goes up.This is by far the best monetisation strategy as your admob money keeps increasing over time.So in the long run you can make Thousands or even hundreds thousands of dollar annually form one app. For instance some apps that were published 3 years ago are still today generating huge revenues for the developers that made them. Its a smart way to make money work for you! Example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.musicstreaming.freemusic [b]2.In-app purchases: This model is a hybrid model between paid and free apps.It is popularly used in Games like Candy crush, Clash of Clans. The app is free to download but it requires the users to make purchases. For instance a game with In-app purchases might require its users to purchase coins so that they can use the coins to purchase upgrades in the game to level up their character. You can also use this model with freemium model apps. For instance you can ask your users to purchases a $2.00 upgrade that prevents your apps from showing admob advertisment. Here are some Games with In-app purchases system: 1. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.king.candycrushsaga 2. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.supercell.clashofclans 3. https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=6054197513203380012 3.Paid apps: This model requires your users to pay a certain amount before they can even download your app. this model looks very lucrative as you can charge every user before they even download your apps. So for instance if you have 10,000 downloads and your charge $2.000 per downloads that means you have made $20,000 from app downloads alone. However this model is not advisable and quite unpopular because most users would rather test the app first before paying for it. The same way you would have a phone tested first before you make payment for it at Slot. Also, Another downside to this model is piracy!. So if the app is very popular one of your users can pay, download the app and then share the apk for free on the internet where people can just download the app to their devices for free. Examples include : Hitman Sniper: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.squareenixmontreal.hitmansniperandroid (It cost $1 to purchase it on the Play store) Now here is a link the .apk of the game that has been pirated on the internet: http://rexdl.com/android/hitman-sniper-apk-mod-data-download.html/ You can just download the apk to your phone, install it and start playing the game. You don't even need to pay the $1 fee. Hence the Paid app model is usually not advisable!. Those are the 3 mediums of monetisation on the Google Play store! feel free to use any of them in your respective apps |

1)IT is only Nigerians that complain about Nigeria and lack of opportunity in Nigeria while Chinese,Americans,Philippine,Lebanese etc and sharp Nigerians make lot of money legally in Nigeria. 2)Only Nigerians going abroad will be sold in auction in Libya as slaves just because they want to travel out. 3) Only Nigerians abroad will be seen doing drugs,credit card scam and other illicit in foreign countries. 4)Only nigerians abroad will hate his fellow Nigerians but can respect white men as if they are God 5)Only Nigerians abroad that live fake life in america but spend big in Nigeria after saving for centuries 6)Only Nigerians abroad will call African-americans akata but behave worst than akatas and want to be/behave/talk like akata with ebonics accent when they arrive in nigeria. 7)Only nigerians abroad that accept other foreign culture so easily and very proud not to speak their native language,funny enough the foreign culture they accept dont accept them fully and still look down on them as people without a history. It is only nigerians that prefer marrying a white woman just to be with her for visa,money while they sit all days in their her apartment doing nothing and then brags to his friend that he is sharp guy. 9) it is only nigerians abroad that will remit "21 billion dollars" but no impact on the economy when the real fact is in 2015 nigerians abroad remitted $21 million and in 2016 $35 million dollars. 10)only Nigerians that will testify in church after getting visa to go and suffer. 11) only Nigerians do not understand the difference between a tourist and an immigrant. 12) only nigerians will sell all their asset to travel abroad,only to be scam in their destination and become homeless and will still claim they are living better than nigerian at home,really! 13) only Nigerians will do shit jobs abroad and be proud of it,then brag they earn more than a bank manager.who told you so? 14)only nigerians thinks the word america is a land where dollars is picked from trees in public. I just wish all the strength,zeal and determination,we use to get visa to do stupid jobs abroad,if we had use the strength,zeal and determnination to make nigeria a better place,Nigeria would have been a better place and the american visa or uk visa would have been very easy to get. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Caleb5:Ofcourse, someone earning like $500 in Nigeria is better than someone earning $2000 in US. It boils down to cost of living differences, that your guy earning $750 in US is considered as poverty stricken in US because he cant even afford to live in a studio apartment (one room self contain), what about other bills? The truth is that Nigerians abroad suffer to make it big abroad by keeping multiple jobs while those at home most times dont either because the jobs are not available or they are not smart enough. The world is changing & outsourcing to freelancers in third world countries like Nigeria, India etc are creating jobs in those places & the advantage is that you earn more and spend less. 2 Likes 1 Share |

My own submission is that it is better to leave in someone country rather than going to other countries to huzzle. It is only the infrastructural difference and hopefully one day a better government will be in place and create good institutions and even Nigerians in diaspora will be agitating to come home. By then all issues of bad roads , erratic power supply, good portable water would have been a history and Nigeria will be the real giant African has our rightful position 1 Like |

Nigerians in the Diaspora Failing to show our brothers and sisters ( back home) the full picture of how tough life can be out here in western countries. Long work hours, struggling to make ends meet every day, lots of adversity to overcome. Many of you are struggling to make ends meet, but when you send your pictures back home. you send pictures of you in front of big famous stadiums, famous luxury stores, giving a one-sided picture of your whole lifestyle in western countries. The truth is that Life is tough out here too, my friends. It is not a cake walk you pretend it to be. 1 Like |
