Free Tools

This article is extremely long, but I wanted it to be a thorough and helpful resource for those wanting to start a blog or make some more money from the one they already have.

I should also mention that I really haven’t written about blogging or making money from blogs on just4bloggers yet, because I wanted to make sure that it was a viable option for making some cash. Now that I have found that it is, I decided to pour out everything I learned the last two years about it…

About 2 years ago I was talking to a friend of mine about the idea of building websites full of free information to help people. After brainstorming a bit, I got a couple ideas of topics that I was passionate about: Proverbs and Personal Finance.

My first idea was to post a Proverb each day and comment on it. As I explained my idea further to him, he informed me that I would basically have a blog. I didn’t know what a blog was, but I thought, “oh, ok, sure.”

So, over the next few weeks I read as much as I could find about blogging and ultimately decided on creating a blog about Personal Finance from a Christian perspective. I had been very interested 

Over the next couple months, I started writing articles and officially launched just4bloggers in June of 2007. At this point I had thought about making money from the site, but had no idea how and honestly didn’t really think it was possible to make a living at it. I threw up an Adsense ad just to see what would happen and I still remember how excited I was when I saw that I had made my first 7 cents!

From there, I set a goal to make $100 by the end of 2007 which was pretty easy to accomplish – even without knowing anything. I should also mention that from June 2007 to June 2008 I spent about 4-6 hours each weekend writing articles and averaged about 4 new articles each week. And I spent a few more hours each week on site maintenance, emails, social media, etc. So in total I probably was spending about 10 hours each week working on the site.

In July 2008 things got interesting. The large brokerage firm that I had worked 5 years for was bought out by a larger firm. I was told that my department would no longer be needed, so they handed me a severance check and I was on my way. By this point I was making some money from the blog, but not enough to even pay the rent each month.

After much prayer I decided against looking for another “day job” and decided to work full time on building the blog. Thankfully we had paid off most of our debt, and had my wife’s income as a support to buy us some time. I figured I would give it a shot for a few months and if it didn’t work out I would find another 9-5. From that point, the income generated from this website has increased each month and in February 2009 it exceeded my monthly income from my old day job.

I am still a little bit in awe and can’t believe that I am actually paying the bills from this website!. But, I thank God everyday that I get to do this – I really did not like working in Corporate America and am so thankful! It is hard work, but it doesn’t really seem like it when you are doing something that you are passionate about and love doing it.

Blogging basics

What is a blog?

A blog is short for “weblog ”. Basically, it is just a website that has entries listed in reverse chronological order. The original idea behind it was to be a online journal or diary that was updated daily (or as frequently as the writer chose). Over the last decade many software programs and blogging platforms have been created to make the process VERY EASY. As the blog writer, depending on which platform you use, you can just type your entry, press submit and it shows up on your blog for the world to see. Most bloggers don’t know any programming languages and are not “techies.” Starting a blog is one of the easiest ways out there to start a website. If you haven’t started one yet, why not try it? It can be very quick to set up and can be completely free.

How to setup a self-hosted blog

Pick a Domain Name

1. You should start by purchasing a domain name. Domain Samurai  is a great tool that will help you enter in a keyword and then find a bunch of related domains that are still available. I would suggest going to for a .com rather than a .info or .us or anything else for that matter. It is just too easy for people to get confused. A .com is always going to hold more value than any other extension. For a simpler tool, just go to psychicwhois.com  and find an open one.

I was motivated by one of my client to write about blogging, because of this I decided to unleash a little information on blogging. Now, let’s go;

Blogging

It’s amazing so many people don’t know what blogging is.

Blogging is the most lucrative business a user (you) can do to make money on the internet. It is now Nigerias hottest internet business and the world at large.

Blogging is a business of writing and publishing articles online. You can write about anything but across popular keywords.


Blogging is not for everyone. But if you’ve thought of something that won’t need your attention all the time but works for you and if you’ve also thought of a good additional income source then blogging should be what you need.

Why Blogging is Worth Out Time

Owning a website actually is a visa to make money massively just as the internet is fast growing and constantly. Some of the world’s richest individuals are website owners (webmasters) the world’s youngest richest, Mark Zuckerberg is a clear proof, that’s only because the internet is the fastest means of communication which makes it the fastest growing community in our todays world and in history. I don’t see the internet going out of existence cos of its importance and relevance, it does 99% good than 1% harm.


The internet is made up of websites, which means the more the internet grows the more webmasters will grow. Everyone would indeed love to be a webmaster. But the question is;


Do you have the skill to create a website? It’s not compulsory you have to be skillful in creating a website though, cos you can pay for a website to be created. Thing is; would you want to give a huge amount for a professional looking website? A friend of mine got one for #50, 000 naira last two months (thats about $312 USD)


You mightnt have the skill to create a website, you mightnt also or are not ready to invest that much in owning a website.


But the good news here is; Users (you) are no less, you have a room on the internet. You can do what webmasters are doing and make the money they make. What’s important is; own a platform where you have freedom so that you can monetize with the world’s most successful online ads publishing program (Google Adsense)

Blogging is a Business that;

• Won’t take the whole of your day yet make more than your day job would do.
• Generates money even when you are not there.

Snapchat allows you to send pictures and videos to a list of friends/followers, much like a million other apps out there. What differentiated Snapchat from its competitors was its disappearing message feature which quickly caught on with those who wanted to “sext” but not have their pictures end up on one of those revenge porn sites. Snaps disappear within 10 seconds of receiving them, which creates a level of engagement not found anywhere else on social media. If you don’t pay attention, the snap is gone forever, as though it never even existed. This taps into one of our most primal fears; missing out. C.E.O. Evan Spiegel publicly said that about 500 million messages are exchanged on Snapchat every single day back in August of 2014. Snapchat is now believed to have between 100-200 million monthly users.

The first step to making money on Snapchat is to build an audience.

When you sign up, Snapchat will ask you if you want to automatically add anyone in your phone’s contact list who has an Snapchat account. Go ahead and add everyone who has an account, you can always unfollow them later. The reason we want to add everyone is simple, people are more than 75% more likely to add your Snapchat to their account when you add them first based on the results I’ve gotten with my clients. It’s the influence principle of reciprocity in action. People are much much more likely to add you if you add them first. Also, unlike Twitter or Facebook where the amount of friend/followers you have is either limited or negatively affects your influencer score, there are no penalties for following as many people as you’d like. After you add your contacts, it’s time to start creating content, as content is going to be the building block for attracting followers

The most important parts of content creation on Snapchat:

Be consistent. The most popular Snapchatters are snapping multiple times a day, every single day. No rest for the wicked, or Snapchat superstars. An audience needs to get used to seeing your content every single day if not a few times a day.

Blend niche content with personality marketing. Snapchat allows you to blend two separate but equally important marketing concepts. First it allows you to create niche content for your product or services. This means you can use Snapchat to create short demonstration videos, have quick testimonials, or what not. But it also allows you to show potential customers your life, dog, friends, etc so they feel like they are getting to know you, and so you’re not always selling. Remember it’s social media not selling media! Snapchat is much more personal than other social media apps because you are talking directly to your prospects.

Take advantage of what we know works. According to my research, there are two Snapchat subjects that drive more engagement, they are: animals and attractive women. I’ve successfully used Instagram models to drive hundreds of thousands of views, on multiple occasions. Furthermore, both attractive women and animal snaps are often curated by sites like Buzzfeed, which obviously drives even more engagement and followers to your account.

So you’ve added your contacts, you’re producing content consistently that is both consistent with your niche and displays your winning personality, but you still only have a couple hundred followers or less.
First off, don’t worry, because of the massive level of engagement necessary for Snapchat, it’s not uncommon to have over 100k followers on Instagram and only 4,000 on Snapchat. Ideally your number of followers on Snapchat should be at least 5% of your list. [post_ad]

3 Ways To Get More Snapchat Followers

Post your snapcode EVERYWHERE.

Your snapcode allows someone to add you by taking a picture of the code on their snapchat. This is by far the easiest and most fun way to add people on Snapchat. You should post your snap on all of your other social media sites. You can also use it when adding people in real life by having them take a picture of your code right then and there.

Swap or pay for shoutouts.

Another way you can increase the amount of followers you have is through shoutouts from other snapchatters. This could take the form of a picture or a video where the other person tells his/her followers to go follow you as well and gives either a discount, or other incentives for their followers to go follow you. If you already have an audience of over 1,000 followers you should be able to get shoutouts for free from all but the most popular accounts. If not, or if you want to start getting shoutouts from accounts like Mark Kaye who has hundreds of thousands of followers, you’ll need to make it worth their while. One thing to keep in mind is that there are no set prices for shoutouts, so don’t be afraid to lowball them. A client of mine who imports bikinis was able to get two super popular Instagram models to pose in her suits and give her multiple video shoutouts for two free bathing suits and $100 each.

Get Live.

By far, the most powerful way to get followers is through the Live feature as evidenced by the tweet I showed you earlier. But how do you get live? Snapchat guards their algorithms for how they select the live stories and pictures but here’s what I’ve learned. The most important thing is that you turn on Snapchat’s location services turned on. Once you do this if there is a live snapchat story happening at the same time, you’ll see the option to add your snap to the Live story in addition to adding it to your own story. The second thing to pay attention to is who is talking about snapchat in your area. For example the R&B group the Weeknd became extremely active on Snapchat leading up to his most recent concert in his hometown of Toronto, which was carried as a live story. While there are no guarantees you will make a live story, the more snaps you send, seem to affect your odds as one client of mine sent over 42 different snaps before she was added to the live story. As they expand the live feature, I expect them to add location-specific live events so that you have a greater chance to contribute to events near you.

By now, you should have a decent size and still building audience, so it’s time to turn our attention to how to turn those views into cold hard cash!

3 Ways To Make Money On Snapchat:

Offer expiring discounts.

Scarcity or the fear of missing out that I talked about earlier is one of the most powerful motivators in making a buying decision. You can tap into that fear by offering a discount in a snap, which will disappear 10 seconds after the user watches it. The easiest way to do this is setup a discount page on your website something like yoururl.com/Snapchat and then send out a snap video where you quickly tell them about the code. It’s super important that you also write the URL out on the video which you can do by using the little text box icon at the top of the Snapchat screen. I like to have my clients also tell them that the code will expire in 1 hour, and then actually take the site down after an hour. This is important because it establishes that the scarcity is real and trains your followers to go immediately to your site if they want to cash in on the discount.

Sell with Snapcash.

So technically Snapcash, a joint venture with Paypal, is only supposed to be used for sending money to your friends but it can also be used to sell in small quantities. This is especially useful if you have a physical product. One of the best examples is the recent black market for “Hoverboards.” After celebrities like Justin Bieber and Wiz Khalifa were seen on them, many retailers immediately sold out, and there were several enterprising people selling them on Snapchat at up to a 50% markup over the $350 price tag. If you have a physical product, take a snap demonstrating something cool it can do and send it out to your followers. If anyone responds with questions, offer to sell them one right there using snapcash.

Promote affiliates.

The last way to make money on Snapchat is through affiliate marketing. Once you have an audience who trusts you, you can begin to recommend other products for them to try. One of my clients Amanda does affiliate deals with a company called FitTealife where they pay her around a $1 per view. Since she has over 10,000 Snapchat followers this can lead to some pretty nice paydays all for taking a picture or video with someone else’s product. So friends you enjoyed our tutorial How to Earn  Money with Snapchat .. If yes don’t forget to say thanks

To make money from this business, you must first know how it works. It is very simple to send bulksms.

Once you know how it works, you must then be able to come up with a list of your target customers, which may include:

** Churches

** Companies

** Schools (especially, private schools)

** Supermarkets

** Hospitals

** Clubs

** University Departments

** Computer training schools etc

You can find many of this target customers in your immediate environment and that is why you should not let this business pass you by this year.

Once you know your target customers, then you should come up with a proposal letter in which you will let your target customers understand why they should use bulksms. This proposal letter must be compelling enough so that anybody who reads it will find it irresistible to patronize you. You can use Microsoft Word to type your proposal letter and if you want to make it more professional, you can use letter headed paper, if you know how to go about it.

Well, capital has always been the problem of many people when it comes to starting a business, but what most people fail to realize is that there are many ways you can get capital to start a business without even going to the bank. I will try and talk more about this in my future posts.

To start with no capital, follow the steps below:

1.   Make a list of your target customers (i.e churches, businesses, schools, supermarkets etc).
2.   Set up a meeting with your target customer and use "word of the mouth" to explain your concept.
3.   You can also issue a contact form in which your target customer can use in collecting phone  numbers (Optional)
4.   Negotiate your price for the service.
5.  Get your money,phone numbers, the message to be sent and the SENDER ID to be used, from the target customer.
6.  Buy the number of sms needed from your sms provider using part of the money collected from your target customer.
7.  Get the sms sent and keep your profit. Dont forget to send the sms to your client.
8.  Reuse the profit to get more money and get more deals with more companies, churches etc.
9. Do not forget to buy me a drink too, using Liberty Reserve (...smiles).

Lets say for example, you decide to explain to your Pastor, how the church can be using bulkSMS to easily send different messages to church members and he agrees to give it a try. He asks you how much and let me assume you tell him N4 per sms. He gives you, N4000 with 1000phone numbers to send a message to 1000 members. Out of the N4000, you use N2000 to buy 1000sms at www.simacsmsplus.com and you have N2000 left. From the remaining N2000, you can pay for 1 hour at cyber cafe to get the job done and the remaining money becomes yours.

Thats all. Just think and grow rich...........

You can buy your Bulksms at www.simacsmsplus.com where you can even buy at cheaper rates depending on the volume of sms you are ordering for.

If you want to have your own BulkSMS site, I can set it up for you. You can also check out the BulkSMS Reseller Guide at http://www.simacsmsplus.com/2010/12/bulksms-reseller-guide-start-making.html

NEED READY-MADE PROPOSAL LETTERS? Then order for my "BulkSMS PROPOSAL LETTERS PACKAGE".

This package contains DIFFERENT PROPOSAL LETTERS for different target customers. It contains proposal letters for :

* Churches
* Schools
* Businesses
* Companies etc

A sample is shown below:

These proposal letters are letters I have been using to make cool money from Bulksms business. If you order for the proposal letters, all you just have to do is to edit it,  put your name and your contact info, using Microsoft Word. Then take it to your target customers. By the time you drop copies of these proposal letters to all the churches, schools, businesses etc in your locality, there is no way you will not start making money from this simple and cool business.

It is the PROPOSAL LETTERS that will determine if you will be patronized or not. So, if you do not have a compelling, mouth-watering proposal letter, that means you might lose the sms contract to another Bulksms consultant.

One lovely thing about this business is the fact that you can do it during your leisure time and after getting back home from work. I love multiple streams of income and I am sure you too will like money coming into your bank account from different sources. Remember, to make REAL money online, you must have SOMETHING to sell.

                        If you are a Nigerian, To pay for the package, just check out the Payment Page.

Not a Nigerian and would like to get these proposal letters? ….then, you can pay me through liberty reserve. Once you transfer fund to my account, you will have to notify me about it. Once I Confirm it, I will then send the package to your email address.

If you have any comment or question, do not hesitate to use the comment form below.

In my future posts, I will be talking on more ways you can be making money from BulkSMS business.

Cheers !!!.
