Thread by @iamchrisani

This is a tweet born out of ignorance, and it’s an African mentality that has been circulating on social media lately. Funnily, it is a 2015 tweet, and some folks who are ignorant and don't know how things work are busy sharing it saying “The table has been broken.”
A thread...

My name is Chris Ani, and I think it is necessary to address this stupidity and ignorance. First, I am not a forex trader. Second, I don't promote Longrich, and I don't stand against those who do so. Third, I don’t promote MMM as we all know its a scam

That said, please follow this thread carefully to understand my position regarding this school of thought.

Now, if people who know how to make money stop sharing their knowledge, are we going to have business and finance schools all over the world today?

There are professors of Business and Finance at Harvard and the London School of Business who haven’t found a company nor own one, but they know how to teach it.
These institutions have produced several graduates who are business owners and employees who help to run businesses.

So, you see, teaching is a creative work on its own,It is only those who do will understand.

Another ignorance in this tweet is the phrase “... unless you are his way of making money.”
Now, let me state this truth categorically that people are your way of making money either you like it or not.

The person who wrote this tweet was using a free app called Twitter and forgot that he is Twitter's way of making money, and he is even the product😅.

The people sharing the post on Facebook also forgot that Facebook's way of making money is for you to use the app continuously while they take pride in the number of users for their clients and customer's needs.

When I got into the cryptocurrency space in 2016, I went on YouTube to search about Bitcoin and Crypto, and God bears me witness, I did not see a black man's video on this subject.

Without pride, I am one of the very few that used social media platforms plus free ebooks/videos to make thousands of Nigerians aware of this innovation.

Can I shock you? We have Nigerians who bought Bitcoin early and went lowkey without teaching anyone, I know some of them today.Imagine if Bitcoin education was introduced to you and I way back in 2011, I am sure my late father and some of us would have bought 10000 bitcoins den

I am also sure that I would have invested because I have been buying shares in companies since I was in my first year at the university. Guess who influenced my decision to buy these shares? These same stockbrokers that came on Cosmo FM, Enugu, every Saturday to educate people .

about stocks and investing. I used my food and pocket money to buy shares in 2006. Now, whether I made or lost money from stocks or forex is not the issue. The big lesson is that I got exposed to investing as a skill early enough because of those radio teachings on Cosmo FM plus

my late father educating me and taking the same action.Howbeit, the problem with the African man, is that he does not want to hear that you make money from him. Lol. So, how are we going to make money if not from people? Even if you sell long life and prosperity,

is it animals that will buy or humans?It is because of tweets like this that have discouraged many from teaching what they know and making massive wealth from it. That is why you hardly see African contents on YouTube. For instance, can we get Dangote's video on business and

growing wealth? But you will see Bill Gates and his numerous videos on the internet. Do we have videos of @DONJAZZY teaching people how he has built Mavin Records as one of the most successful African record labels competing on an international level?

But I bet that you can go on YouTube, type in "I want to learn the music business," you will see videos of white people. Americans online have paid and free video content because Knowledge sharing is a culture to them, and that is one of the many reasons they prosper.

The author of the book- 'Think and Grow Rich,'did not even build any big business anywhere in the world but made his millions from writing his thoughts and knowledge.He packaged it in a book and sold it. The same book made him millions, and it's still selling and changing people

Dear Africans, the year 2020 is here. Don't allow any lame tweet to hinder you from producing content and sharing your knowledge, even if you aim to make money from it. If you made a huge success or failure in a niche, a business venture, or you discovered a new source of income.

Please, while doing the business, create a stream/platform to teach the same if you can. It is another stream of income. Information marketing is a gold mine in this day and ago.

There is crazy fulfillment in sharing your knowledge, even if that is what you do full time.

I was in Dubai recently, and I met a millionaire who still sells her course for $89. As we conversed, she keeps reiterating that her passion is to teach people.

Also this year, I discovered a 17-year-old teenager who makes over $2000 monthly from Affiliate Marketing.

I got to know him because he bought my Cryptocurrency trading course to expand his income stream. As I got talking with him when he presented his profits in crypto trading for the first three months, I discovered that he has been making money from Affiliate Marketing.

I asked if he has an academy to teach this so others can make money like him; he said he has only done that to help a few individuals who got results.Without further ado, I brought him on our platform; daba.school, and some of the students he taught in private class

via our platform earned over $100 in two weeks. I was just thinking about it that if I had followed this type of tweet and not push that young man to teach what he knows via webinars and an online course we have created, maybe he will be just be eating his money alone while

others would keep living in ignorance. He has also added that line of teaching on how to make money via Affiliate Marketing as his 4th income stream, but some African minds will still say if you are making money from it, why are you charging us money to teach us? Lol.

You didn't complain about paying school fees in high hopes of a secure future. This is precisely the same situation. You're paying for knowledge.

In 2020, let's create more information products and distribute them on the internet and make good money from it.

Create a podcast
Create mastermind groups
Create online courses
Host seminars across your region
Host webinars
Create YouTube videos

Teach others how to make this money and succeed.Even @realFemiOtedola is close to releasing his book on business, so we can all learn from him,who knows how many million copies will be sold, which would, in return, make him some billions. Do d Math.
#10,000 times 1million copies

If he likes, let him give money to charity if he wants to, but that book will not be free, and it is people that will buy the book.

I even see a time when he will be holding book tours across the world.

Do not allow tweets like this discourage you if you are in network marketing or information marketing business. I don't do network marketing, but whether you like it or not, I sell and give bonuses to those who help me sell.

Over 50% of internet companies from Amazon to Alibaba,

have affiliate marketing programs. So, if u find one that works, and it involves telling others how to make money with it before they join, do it as long as you are not stealing or lying to make money
