Now I don’t mean you should go off and start a “how to make money online” type of forum which I see everyday popping up here and there.
There are other untapped areas that need attention especially in Nigeria which nobody seems to be targeting.
Think of dating, romance, marriage, celebrity gossips, politics, health, self improvement, music, entertainment, TV shows, sports, and countless others which you probably have expertise in and know much about. Nobody seems to be covering these areas, the ones who manage to do pack everything into one forum.
Don’t build a “one size fits all” type of forum, target a specific niche or topic. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather join a forum where they discuss just “Home Theaters” instead of a general electronics forum, assuming I’m only interested in home theaters and of course provided the forum has the answers I’m looking for.
If you start a forum on just “dating” alone in Nigeria, you’ll have people jumping out of other popular and over-sized forums just to see what you have to offer. These small tightly focused niches are hungry for discussion. Why don’t you be the one to provide that? [Continue reading…]

The sooner Clickbank realizes that most of their income come from legitimate and hardworking Nigerians, the better for all of us. That said, if you’re struggling with Graphcard’s US address system and their lousy customer support, then I’d recommend you try these other USA address options. But you must be earning first with your affiliate programs to avoid unnecessary waste of money.
1. Myus
This company offers a good mail forwarding service, they accept Nigerians and ship to Nigeria. They give you a real US address that’s solely yours. There are 3 subscription plans you can choose from, browse through and select one that’s most convenient for you. I’d recommend the premium + mail plan. [Continue reading…]

I got a mail from a distressed subscriber recently, I’m going to quote him below:
“guday david. how is your biz and your family? Dav, it is yet another set back to me . my savings account with 1st bank was totally emptied by the A T M fraudsters last week. i am presently with no money. please, if you can help me send life line. thanks
Now I seriously don’t know how he gave away his PIN/Banking details so easily, but…
…from my experience, these guys use email extractors to extract your email addresses from forums, social network and the various websites you visit which you must have probably used your email address to register on.
Now once they’ve gathered these email addresses, they go ahead to build a fake website which is called a phishing website. These websites usually have the look, feel and little functionality of the site they intend to impersonate. But it doesn’t take a genius to figure out it’s a completely hoax, but to my amazement people still fall for it which of course I wouldn’t blame them.
Here are some precautions to guard yourself from falling victim to these scumbags: [Continue reading…]

Somebody did a guest blog post on my site recommending Minute-exchange as an easy means of funding payoneer mastercard using liberty reserve.
I’ve received lots of complaints from those who tried their service, and they’ve all lost their money as their money were all taken and their cards never funded.
I would advise you stay away from them completely. If you need to fund your payoneer mastercard, the easiest means is using card to card transfer or receiving money directly from the network you’re working with.
My sincere apologies for having allowed their site/services recommended and published on my blog, and also to those who’ve lost their hard earned dollars.
You might want to share your experience if you’ve used their services before without a hitch or if you were amongst those who got scammed.

This post was sent to me as a rough draft from Taiwo Abayomi, and I just completely revamped the whole thing to suit my blog, but all credit go directly to him.
If you’ve already gotten your payoneer mastercard from one of the partner networks, then you’d have probably noticed that you can’t use or load your card till you have gotten payment from that particular network you signed up with.
The reason is that, some of these networks made deals with Payoneer itself to render cards unusable and unload-able till at least you’ve gotten a first payment from them, either from promoting one of their services or selling something. They just don’t want you to take their free card and disappear.
However there’s a particular network that does not operate on that basis, you can load and use the card you get from them, irrespective of whether they’ve issued you a first payment or not. But activation is not free as in the case of the other networks. You’ll need to load $10 to it if you’re outside of the US to get the card activated. [Continue reading…]

2checkout
I got a free 2checkout Payoneer mastercard delivered to my doorstep not too long ago. It took about 36days or thereabout from the date of application.
Though I have published a post on how to get a free Payoneer Mastercard using Friendfinder, but I just had to visit this topic once again, but this time with 2checkout.
Now before you sign up for a Payoneer Mastercard, you should check carefully which of the partner network you’re likely to earn money from. There’s no point signing up with a network you know you can’t promote in order to make money from. The reason is, your card will be unusable till you’ve received at least one payment from that network.
What I’m saying is you can’t load or use your Payoneer Mastercard to buy anything online till you have received a payment from the network you signed up with. And Payoneer gives you just 6 months of inactivity, and your card gets closed. That’s pretty long to me, I mean what are you doing with a card for six months without using it?
So you should consider seriously if you really need a Payoneer Mastercard or not. I know of people who just want one cause they just want to have it.
If you’re ready to promote 2checkout’s affiliate products, then here’s how to get a free Payoneer Mastercard from their affiliate program: [Continue reading…]

I recently put up my company’s website using wordpress. The look and design feels like a corporate site which it is rather than that of a blog. And to make it more professional, I thought of adding .html extension to all the pages.
I came across this nice little plugin that did the wonders for me by automatically adding .html extension to all the pages. [Continue reading…]

I shouldn’t be blogging about this really, It’s just that I visited a few Nigerian blogs, and I was amazed that most of them use wordpress just out of the box, no basic customization, nothing.Their permalinks still set to the default, which has no SEO benefits whatsoever. So my guess was either they don’t know the benefits or they just don’t know how to go about enabling it.
I know of a Nigerian marketer who happens to own a blog. He posts good contents and updates regularly, but none of his blog posts show up on Google search. Though there are so many factors that could be contributing to this, like duplicate content, on and off page optimization, not setting your robots.txt properly and off course the permalinks which he didn’t turn on. Turning that on could go a long way in helping his ranking on the search engines. [Continue reading…]

I’ve discovered that so many beginners to blogging don’t know how to install themes and plugins on wordpress. So I just thought I should show you how to do this without the need of ftp (file transfer protocol). This can easily be done through your wordpress admin dashboard.
WordPress has made searching and installing themes and plugins very simple, by incorporating it into your admin dashboard.
I’ve been using this feature for quite some time now. I don’t know if you are, but this is basically for complete beginners to wordpress blogging.
So instead of downloading and uploading through an ftp, which is very stressful by the way (I’m pretty lazy), you could just do all that from your dashboard by following the simple steps listed below. [Continue reading…]
