The Nigerian Internet Estate – The Myths, Facts and the Reality I (online FOREX Trading)

As a follow up to my previous posts on this blog, I’ll continue to assert the fact that Nigeria is a force to be reckoned with as regards every known endeavor on the face of this planet called Earth, and the internet is no exception, it is left for the rest of the world most especially the United States to fathom this cold hard fact out. Well I would have titled this piece ‘the online conspiracies of the west against Nigeria’ well that would sound cynic and inane. It will look as we are beggars at the rich man’s table waiting for crumbs that falls off his table; when we are kings in the making. However, it has become imperative that we will take on destiny instead of waiting lazily for it to come beckoning at us. But do you know one thing my friend? Your destiny cannot come to you except you shrug off the ashes of defeat, rise to your feet, and then take what rightly belongs to you. Sorry if I have digressed from the main topic of the day, well I was trying to crave your indulgence as is always the case with me. Like I said earlier on, Nigeria remains the biggest internet estate and can compete favorably with India on the third world country category and in the real sense can give the west a run for their money; and as a member of cyber world is not immune to the fistful of online fallacies that pervades the internet daily. But I’ll only deal with this ill wind the as it concerns we Nigerian.

One thing that has remained obvious to we Nigerians especially those who wants to make a decent living doing decent business online is that we are greatly disadvantaged because of some pre-conceived notion of the developed economies against Africa and Nigeria in particular, but I wont dwell much on the bad side as an optimist but will deal on the possible and well established side as a realist. What do I mean by this? The internet has become a real estate and as such many people world wide are reaping the benefits of this innovation and smiling to the bank every other day, so my main concern is to get you acquainted with the common myth that pervades the internet daily and the obvious.

Recently, online FOREX TRADING has become a niche that every person with little or no experience on money matters wants to get involved in within a short period of time (most attend one to two days seminar) and want to start reaping from it, stop! I’ll love to ask, why is it that we still have few people that are rich from trading FOREX with all the hype associated with it? Well have you stooped to think this over? But my friend like I titled this article I’ll love to list the myths, facts and the reality of online FOREX trading. Personally I don’t trade FOREX but I know of an array of people who do; and from the fillers I get daily, it is not as rosy as it sounds. You loose money and you gain money, however the tendency of losing far out weighs that of gaining if you don’t know the fundamentals of the trade. Knowing the fundamentals is not some thing you gain the knowledge in 1, 2, 3 or even 7 days as those who advertise it in dailies will tell you. What the organizers of various FOREX seminars are after is to gain back what they have loosed trading through levying outrageous seminar fees on the participants. At the seminar they don’t take the time to explain the technical and fundamentals of the market, terms like pips, bull traps, Fibonacci analysis etc are not well explained: leaving the participant more confused than ever. But like I said earlier on, trading with no fore knowledge of the aforementioned points makes trading an experience not worth the venture.

Still on online FOREX trading, it will be unfair if I don’t mention the benefits of this online money making venture even if I’m not trading this very lucrative market (yet). Basically FOREX trading exceeds about 1.3 trillion dollars daily, so it will be mediocre of a person to jump into a market as large as this with no formal knowledge of the happenings. However ,it becomes expedient of the person to get fully into the know of this liquid market before getting his hands burnt in the process of wanting to make 100 pips a day as most of the self acclaimed FOREX experts promise you when you trade on their systems. Like I always do when posting any article, I try to make detailed research (even if I know little or not) before coming to press, and when I do it is in the form of a personal experience. While this FOREX rave reached fever pitch, every person wanted to tap into this market to reap bountifully; I decided to make my own in road. Daily, I hit every search engine on the net for a detailed report, I subscribed to every ezine, news letter, and every available publication that deals with the subject. From my findings I observed that the requirements of this market is quite tasking, however if all these requirements are met, the market is worth the venture, what are the requirements I’m talking of: they include a laptop computer connected to the internet; as you need this to enhance the mobility of the market, a domiciliary account, and a form of identity which could come in form of an international passport or national identity card and a plat form to trade on.

One day I saw an advert on a daily on a FOREX seminar that’ll last for about two days, and within these two days you will be taught all the basics required to start making between 30 to 40 pips daily (note: a pip is worth about 10 dollars). I did not attend the seminar as the seminar fee was too much, not that I can’t afford it but because the money was too much for a seminar that will last a couple of days. So I took the address of the FOREX firm and decided to pay them a visit and perhaps make more inquiries. On getting there I met a lady who looked more like a cleaner than a FOREX expert, as I was expecting to see a person who looked like those who work in wall street or if I want to sound modest like some one who works for one of the banks, then how can such a person teach me the basics of the trade for me to start making 50 pips every day!. I thought may be if she really is an expert as she claims, I figure she should be making good money as a FOREX expert and at least look good for her troubles. Is not like I’m saying that there aren’t people here in Nigeria who are doing good trading FOREX, but what I’m saying is that they are very few, this is the fact and the sooner it downs on you the better. I don’t want to sound cynical but in this business is very good for you to be very truthful to your audience, telling them the reality of every situation, instead of leading them falsely by reporting fallacies and stuff.

On the contrary, FOREX trading is a niche and can not be ignored as it has enriched many Nigerians (the few who know the rudiments of the business) as I know of a guy who takes home close to 30 to 40 pips any time he trades, do you know his secret? He sells when others are buying, and sells when others are buying. He knows where to make his stop loss and quit when it really mattered, he understands the basic trends mostly the fundamental, since with it you have a clue as to how the currencies are performing in the market relative to how the various big economies are faring. One other fact in relation to a myth pervading the scenario is that FOREX is not a vocation as the ‘experts’ will tell you. It is not some thing you do on a part time basis; rather I will say it is more of a career, since most traders do it full time. Why this is so is that you can dwell on a chart a whole day waiting for a favorable signal to begin trading, while you are in your office waiting for the required signal, your boss will be telling the secretary to prepare your sack letter and pay-off. But if you learn the ropes you work smart as a FOREX trader, knowing the best times to trade; then you can jolly well make it a vocation, rather than a career as earlier speculated. The secret is that most FOREX traders don’t trade every day. This is another fact, you only trade when there are auspicious signs. Another secret is contentment (avoid being unnecessarily greedy), when you make a good move that gives you 20 to 30 pips, is usually advisable to quit at that juncture even if you see another favorable trend. Usually such trends end with you losing the money you already made. So be careful, as it could be very enticing as well as deceitful

The fact about this market is that you make money if you avoid bull traps and interpret the market trends both fundamental and technical, looking at the charts, knowing when to buy and when to sell, knowing the best currency pair (e.g. euro/dollar), knowing when to enter and when to quit and Fibonacci analysis. If you get your self acquainted with all these, then your venture into this market will be worth the while, on the contrary the myth is that you don’t, make 30-40 pips daily by just taking part in a 2 day seminar or workshop as most will call it, most self acclaimed experts introduce you to robots that trade on your behalf, well the truth about robots is that they only function according to how they are programmed. Most robots are programmed using technical analysis, but this market is very volatile and economic trends in most leading economies especially the US can affect the market negatively or positively, for example the recent recession so experienced in the US resulted into a weak dollar and like a virus it spread to other economy especially the Euro zone and Japan: so if your robot was programmed following the reverse you can figure out what happens. The reality here is that you can only make it in FOREX when you master the ropes of the market as it has been noted that about 90 percent of those who go into FOREX exit after a short period of venturing. The fact then is that FOREX trading can be lucrative as well unprofitable. Which ever side of the divide you belong the choice is yours. But I assure you that you can make a difference if you believe in your self, since many plat forms reject registration from Nigeria (another western conspiracy), for example FXSOL no longer accepts registration from Nigeria. So it is left to you to decide how to take this market by storm as I promise to give frequent updates as regards my online experiences since I’ve decided to join the trend of Nigerians making dollars form FOREX trading.

How to Make Money Online – Step by Step (#2 of 3)

This is a step-by-step method for creating a Content Driven System and making money from advertising and affiliates. This requires very little start up cost, but you do need a lot of elbow grease. This is ideal for people who have more time than money. If you don’t see yourself writing at least thirty articles, don’t bother with this method. If you enjoy writing, this is a risk free way to get your feet wet, and can be built into a solid business model that will last for years.

1. Research a niche you are interested in. Go to WordTracker and see how many people are looking for your topic. Try several variations such as “fried chicken recipes”, “fried chicken gravy recipes,” or “boneless fried chicken recipes.”

Once you’ve decided there are people actually looking for these keywords, search the ClickBank Marketplace for products that you could sell. Attempt to negotiate a trial copy of the products, or just buy them. Try to choose between 3-5 products, and write honest reviews about all of them.

2. Get a domain name and web hosting with BlueHost.

3. Sign up for an auto responder through Aweber.

4. Write five short articles that offer tips about your niche (sample recipes for fried chicken, cooking methods, etc). At the end of each article, give a quick background and recommend one of the products you signed up with from the ClickBank Marketplace. Make sure they are honest reviews.

5. Add those five articles to your website, each on their own page. We use Dreamweaver, but you can also download Nvu for free.

6. Sign up for Google AdSense and place their ads on each of those five pages.

7. Write five “teasers” for those webpages, which will be emailed to your prospects every four days or so. They should offer a brief introduction like: “Hi, I just created a new method of cooking fried chicken. You can check it out at .”

You could include the course directly into the email though I prefer to send prospects to our website, for two reasons. The first is that you can include advertising on your site, which will bring in additional revenue. The second benefit is that your site will appear more valuable to the search engines (more content is always a good thing) and you will eventually start to see some traffic from search results.

8. Create a landing page that offers a five day crash course in your niche. Visitors can access the course by signing up through Aweber. Now you have their email address and can begin following up with them.

9. Register for an account at EzineArticles. At first, you are only allowed to submit ten articles at once, and they can take over a week to approve. Pick ten keywords that fit our search criteria and write one article for each. Make sure to include the keyword in the title, a few times in the article, and once in the conclusion. Also, in your Bio box include a link to your site (preferably with the keyword as the link). A good way to get people to click on the link is to offer them a free report.

10. Submit all ten as soon as you finish them (the faster the better). After those ten are accepted, you will be able to submit 25 or unlimited, depending on how well your articles were written. Only after you’ve written thirty articles should you expect to see some money (not a lot, but some). Here is how the user experience should play out:

a. They search for a keyword and click on your article in the search engine results.

b. They read your article, and click on the link to your site.

c. They sign up for the free course, and start receiving emails, with links to the course.

d. They read the teaser, and click on the link.

e. On the webpage, they either click on an AdSense ad (which pays you a few cents) or they purchase an affiliate product (which pays you dollars). Even if they don’t do either of these activities (which most won’t) they will receive another email a few days later, and the process starts all over again.

11. Once you’ve set this up, use WordTracker and find dozens – if not hundreds- of keywords with at least ten daily searches and less than 1,000 competing sites. Write one 300-500 article that is highly optimized for each keyword and publish it to your website. Add the AdSense code and the occasional affiliate link where applicable. Be sure to include a sign up form on each page offering your free course to capture leads and promote your products.

12. Create a sitemap using the Xml-Sitemap Generator and submit it to Google Webmaster Tools.

13. Start building links to your website. This will help you rise faster in the search engines. Outsource the link building by running an ad on Craigslist or Elance.

The beauty of this system is that there is no financial risk. All you are paying for is the auto responder and domain/host. The pros write hundreds of articles and drive huge amounts of traffic through this funnel, which can make a very nice income.

Business Blogging – How to Increase Visibility & Credibility by Blogging About Your Online Business

Marketing your online business by blogging on a daily basis will enable you to increase your visibility and gain credibility very quickly on the internet. Blogging is the very best way to let people know who you are and what you by giving them this information in your blog posts.

Blogging has come a long way since it was first around five years ago. People were blogging back then to keep an online diary of what they were doing. Blogs were more of a personal account of what someone was thinking and planning in their personal life. Blogs became known as ways to write on the internet without having any real use for business.
 
Very quickly the savvy marketers online saw the possibilities for having a blog. Overnight during these first few years, blogs sprang up everywhere, becoming more business in nature and offering a variety of products and services for sale. New blogging platforms were also available, giving people the option to own their own blog by using the Typepad or hosted WordPress option. No longer were people held hostage by the free blogging services, which could shut down your blog on a whim.
 
These days many people are using a blog instead of a website. The ease of posting and making changes to a blog versus having to write html code and upload all changes to a server make blogs the logical choice for business use.
 
It is important to post every day for the first four to six weeks of starting your blog. I refer to this as power blogging, and teach the concept to my students. This enables you to quickly gain ranking in the search engines, allowing more people to find you easily. You must also determine the keywords that you will be focusing on. By using these keywords in your blog post titles, it is much more likely that your blog will rank highly for those terms.
 
Also, make sure that you have a way to capture the name and email address of anyone who visits your site. The way to do this is to install an opt in box in the upper right hand corner, and offering a free gift to anyone who signs up. This free gift can be a short report, an audio recording, a consultation with you, or anything else that people in your market would consider to be valuable. This will help you to begin building your list so that you can offer these prospects more products and services over a period of time.
 
I also include a resource page on my blog, where I can recommend products and services that I endorse. These are all listed with my affiliate link, allowing me to earn money each time someone makes a purchase. I do this in my posts as well, but only about once a week. The remainder of my posts are filled with useful and helpful information on my topic. I encourage you to do the same thing so that your readers will come to know and trust you as you grow your online business.

3 Ways to Make Money Online in Our Current Economy

There are literally millions of online money making opportunities. Sadly, the majority of these online money making opportunities require selling and/or recruiting; which most of us simply do not want to do.

Don’t give up. In this article I am going to outline ways to make money online without recruiting or selling.

Before we can begin you will need to start a blog. I consider a blog to a be an online diary. There are

literally millions of online blogs on every topic. Create a blog around your favorite hobby or create a review blog around products and services that you tried. Give some honest feedback on the products.

Creating a blog does not require that you know how to create a website. Many online blogging services offer very basic templates which will allow you to create a blog in minutes.

You would be surprised by the number of companies that offer an affiliate program. Many fortune 100 and 500 companies have affiliate programs that pay extremely well.

Most affiliate programs will give you an affiliate website (sales page), banner or link to advertise. If you decide to advertise the affiliate program website you can not add or remove items from the website. Creating a blog and linking to your affiliate website gives you more control over design and content.

2. CPA Marketing Leads are the lifeblood of any business. Did you know that you can even get paid when someone completes a form to try out a product or service? This is called CPA marketing and it is a form of affiliate marketing. Whenever someone completes a form with their name or email address you can receive a commission. No sale is required in most cases in order for you to get paid. Companies will pay a few cents up to $200 per lead.

3. Google AdSense. I told you in the beginning that making money online does not require any recruiting or selling. By simply placing a 2 line code on your blog or website you have the potential to earn daily. This code rotates a series of ads. Every time on of your website visitors clicks on that ad you earn a commission. Google has millions of advertisers so there will never be a shortage of ads to circulate. You can earn hundreds of dollars per day from individuals clicking on the ads on your website. No sale is required in order to receive payment from Google. You can receive .5 or .10 cents per click to up to $50 or even $60 per click depending on the product.

The main issue remains that most of these companies are unsure how to gain the buying attention of potential clients for their products or services. Creating a Power Crew will be essential to your success as a Solopreneur because you will have to trust someone to help you handle day-to-day tasks. Check out these 10 common assumptions made in online business that you should avoid in order to have a successful head start.

  1. Skimming on Investing. There is a large difference between spending smart and just being cheap. The Cheap Comes Out Expensive (“Lo Barato Sale Caro” – Judge Marilyn Milian). Reciprocity goes a very long way and helps you build a secure and trusted network. Everyone wants a deal when spending their hard earn money. Most business people have heard the saying, “you have to spend money to make money.” Actually when you take your brand seriously enough to invest in it, be it time or money, you will ensure that everyone on your Power Crew is properly compensated. This could be financially or through barter systems. Either way, you should be willing to give as much or more than you take from others.
  2. Remaining Blissfully Ignorant. Are you leaving clients under-serviced because you refuse to explore new opportunities and creative possibilities? Put some investigative action behind your motives. Ask your Virtual or In-House Assistant to check out some new avenues. Hire someone to manage these new avenues for you and add them to your Power Crew. They would usually be focused on these tasks for at least 5 hours a week; 1 hour a day. Ignorance is not bliss, especially in business. there are too many opportunities out there for Solopreneurs to get on track and dominate some corner of their market.
  3. Financing Blindly Without Reason. How can you properly guide your brand into financial success or at the very least avoid bankruptcy if you cannot track how much money is flowing throughout your business? If you are shocked at the amount of money you have spent over a one-year span, are constantly hunting down all of your expenses at tax time, and/or are always living in the red then you’re doing everything all wrong. Don’t become accepting of your business being a financial burden on you. You should have a budget in place to help you remain on track. Remember, you started this for FREEDOM not to trade on pair of frustration created shackles for another.
  4. Maintenance Is An Option. I see many clients who believe that paying someone to manage their website is a waste of time, yet these are the same people who’s websites are constantly outdated behind the scenes and left vulnerable. Your carelessness is a hackers dream key to your Information Buffet. So much of these items can and should be automated, but you have to remain vigilant in protecting your online business. If you are collecting customer information, there is no room to be casual about Website Security and Maintenance.
  5. Keeping Up with the Joneses. Doing all you can to follow what the crowd is doing rather than taking stock in what will work for your brand is ultimately a waste of time for you. This is not to say that watching your competition and friendly peers cannot be a learning experience. you simply have to learn to take the learning knowledge and map out your own destiny.
  6. Online Businesses Don’t Need A Budget. As an extension of financing your business blindly, you need to realize that just because you have an online business, you are not exempt from having a budget. many believe that because they don’t have the rent of a brick-and-mortar establishment, they are free to spend wildly. That is not the case. Your “rent” is your hosting provider, your domain name, and your SSL Certificate. Your “utilities” are your financial manager (accountant/apps), email automation services, payroll, and anything else that helps you run your business. You MUST track these and be sure that you are not using up all of your resources without turning some type of profit to pay the rent or mortgage AND put food on your table.
  7. Disconnected from Reality of Running A Business. Remain grounded and connected to the roots of your business so that you are aware of what is happening and are ready to rework any strategies accordingly. Even when people consider themselves “successful” they know there is continuous work involved in maintaining the level of success they enjoy or want to excel to. Taking into account everything we’ve discussed, these pieces all come together to help you face, head-on, the realities of running a business.
  8. Blaming Others for Your Failures. The Blame game is a waste of time. Don’t allow Accountability to become some passive catchphrase in your business. Live up to how you would want clients and another business to treat you. If you or your brand fell short or messed up, take that as an opportunity to improve and get back on track. Ask for feedback. Failure is not a bad thing if you don’t allow it to become a stumbling block or a crutch. Boss up and take responsibility while showing others working with you that they need to do they same. Showing is way better than Telling!
  9. Being Online Is An Automatic Success. No online business is an automatic success and anyone who tells you different is lying to you. I thought that once my website was up and running I would be set. Well, not exactly set, but the bulk of my work would be complete. I was so wrong and didn’t even realize how wrong I was. I had to become a quick study on e-marketing, copywriting, and product creation to really get my business going. Not an expert, but I had to get my rump in gear fast so that I could manage just enough to get things where I wanted them to be. Automation can make things easier for you, but without you putting ACTION behind the KNOWLEDGE you collect, your brand is dead in the water.
  10. Misinformation. Stay as informed as possible. “He said, She said” doesn’t work when you need to share information with your Power Crew and customers. Never allow yourself to miss out on innovative moves occurring within your industry, or in other industries. If an app or software was not compatible of your business in 2011, check back and see if things have changed. If you didn’t think Twitter, Pinterest, or Instagram were a good fit for your business and your customers would not be interested in a company blog, rethink these moves. Try things out. You may be surprised at the results and new information that flows in from these various options.

Boss Up

Once you have figured out what causes your business to thrive like a well watered plant, you’ll begin to reap the benefits of a profitable business and brand overall. I think of my business as a well-watered plant because there is energy tied to it. It needs my care in order to survive. My emotions affect my business and I need to maintain them both.

Clients want to know that you, as a business owner, care enough to pay attention to small details while maintaining the overall picture of success.

With the help of the Internet, people can do a lot of things without going out, like paying bills, watching movies, study online and so on.Well doing shopping online is not always a perfect thing, it also has disadvantages. It seems easy and quick, but there’s always a trap online. If you are careless, it will bring you some troubles. For example, if you order a cloth online, at the moment you get the item, you may find that the color is different from what you saw online, or the size is either too small or too big because it is not available to try on before ordering, or the material of the cloth is not what you want.
