Secrets of the Ten Biggest Bloggers in Nigeria

 

1. Action
The only reason why the 10 most successful bloggers in Nigeria are today being referred to as “bloggers” is that they started blogging in the first place. They took action quickly at a time when blogging wasn’t popular and they have now achieved enviable successes. They didn’t balk. They didn’t wait for the “perfect time.” And they didn’t keep searching for information on how to blog. They started somewhere. If they hadn’t taken that action, they wouldn’t have gotten any results.
2. Passion
This is another quality that all these 10 bloggers have in common. They all figured out topics they are passionate about and started blogging on those topics. This passion kept them going even though nobody gave them attention back then. And this passion helped them churn out content consistently on their chosen topics. Linda Ikeji opted for entertainment, Uche Pedro went for lifestyle, Japheth Omojuwa went the way of politics, and Jide Ogunsanya chose to go for science and technology.
3. Persistence

Most of these bloggers started blogging around 10 years ago when blogging was literally unknown in Nigeria. Back then, using the internet in Nigeria was expensive, and attracting an audience was quite difficult. But they were persistent. They didn’t give up due to their passion for what they were doing. And today, that persistence has paid off.
4. Optimism
Anyone who visited the cybercafé frequently or spent huge costs on internet plans just to update a blog used to be seen as a time waster who has no idea what to do with his or her money. Nobody saw any prospects in blogging in the past, but these successful bloggers did. They had a positive mindset, and this kept them going—even when they were attracting zero traffic and only losing money rather than make it. Today, their optimism has paid off, and we all know their story.

Geeky marketting advice

Email marketing is great, but the greater thing you need is that you got to have the right approach.
Like everything in this world, if you want something great, you do have to put some great work input first.

Here are 10 tips to boost  your marketing skills.

1. Be clear about your objectives.

Do it for a reason, have an outcome in mind,  for example, is it information, a sales pitch, a “just keeping in contact” or a promotional piece? If you don’t know what you want to achieve, you won’t get any meaningful results.

2. What do your readers expect of you?

Why did they sign up, what was your previous offer? If your list is made up of previous customers then ask yourself what would you want them to feel when they get your email and what they might want to know after buying from you.

3. What do you want your audience to do after reading your email?

Top 5 global cities smart people should be doing business in ?

Seyi Oronigbagbe

“A great city,” Aristotle mused, “is not to be confounded with a populous one.”
Alas, people have many different reasons for picking their favorite destinations, ranging from natural beauty and rich culture to prolific art and outdoors activities.
Now jump into the shoes of a business leader eyeing international expansion, and suddenly the criteria to evaluate potential foreign host cities sway less toward the romantic and more toward the practical and economic.
In our technology and knowledge-intensive era, business leaders must evaluate expansion opportunities based on the quality of a city’s human capital, volume of business activity, information infrastructure, quality of educational and research institutions, a native culture of innovation, access to cultural activities, transportation infrastructure and proximity to markets.
Companies will weigh each of these elements differently, depending on the nature of their business, but here are our choices for the top cities that have “got their global on” for each continent, including some strong runners-up, and up-and-comers.

Africa: Nairobi
As growth has accelerated, Africa has produced many up-and-coming cities that companies should consider as their base on the continent.
Tunis and Algiers, for example, boast strong human capital and excellent health systems. Accra, Lagos, and Johannesburg are particularly easy to do business in, making them relatively strong options as well.
Another interesting place to consider is Cairo, one of the world’s most ancient cities. It ranks well in most business oriented categories, including having a strong, educated middle class, as well as good infrastructure and transportation, though political instability is an ongoing concern.
"We most strongly recommend Nairobi, Kenya, as it is targeted by a number of multinationals as a sub-Saharan or overall Africa headquarters."
Chinese companies are spending hundreds of millions of dollars there to gain access to East African resources.
Nairobi is also sub-Saharan Africa’s leading city for human capital, technology readiness, transportation and infrastructure, and is a gateway to other markets. Nairobi is also one of the earliest metro locations for Global Chamber in Africa.

True or false buhari "GMB Can't Reduce Petrol Price To N40 Per Litre - Adeleke Bada

Fuel matters arising

The Ogun state chapter of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigerian (IPMAN), has said that it would be very difficult for the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari to reduce the petroleum pump price to N40 per litre.

The chairman of the association in osun state, Adeleke Bada disclosed after the association’s annual general meeting held in Abeokuta.
Bada was reacting to the assurance given to Nigerians by former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Tam David West, that ,the President-elect will reduce the pump price.

 According to him, such reversion is impossible and not realistic due to the situation in the industry. He explained that the federal government could however reduce it to N87 per litre, if they build refineries in some parts of the country. Bada said: “That is not possible, if you look at the nature of the market, that isn’t realistic. .

Bada said:

“That is not possible, if you look at the nature of the market, that isn’t realistic. Do we have the refineries?The only reason that can be possible is when we have our own refineries and we do not export our crude oil for processing. If the processing is done in Nigeria, then it can be sold at the rate of N40 but not until all the refineries are fixed.”

This was said about 12 months ago, and while it is true or false, one might begin to wonder what to believe anymore?
How could he have known or where did he get this accurate information from?
