There are 3 MAIN things to the Information Marketing type of income model:

1. You need to have a good product to sell. A product that a group of people are willing to buy.

2. You need to craft a powerful sales message to persuade people to buy.
3. You need to advertise like crazy to reach the right set of people that will be interested in what you are selling (aka getting traffic).

If you've tried to sell information or anything online before...and you just suck, it is either one or more of these 3 things are broken.
PRODUCT - Do you even have a product to sell?

If yes, is the product a proven one that meets the needs of a certain group of people and are the people likely to buy it?

HINT: People want to be happy, rich, healthy, beautiful etc. Create products that meet these needs.
SALES MATERIAL - Are you presenting what you have to your target audience in a way that makes them believe you truly can offer what you are promising?
Presenting what you are selling in a way that persuades people to buy can be the only difference between making 2 sales per day and making 50 sales a day.
TRAFFIC - Without advertising what you have to sell to the right set of people, you shouldn't expect anything.

Traffic can be paid or free.

I started with free but I now use paid these days because it is fast and scalable.
You do not have to be a top-notch copywriter to start selling online.

You just have to know enough about your product and the people you are selling to and use that to create a compelling sales message.
I wasn't a top-notch copywriter when I started selling online and I am still not as at now but I know enough to get the job done. That is what matters.

Almost 95% of the sales messages that I see from Nigerians online are usually mediocre but at least, it gets them sales 🤷‍♀️
BUT If you really want to sell your products BIG time online, you should be ready to either HIRE an excellent copywriter or invest the next 6 months to mastering this skill yourself.
Creating the right product to sell and crafting the right sales material to sell at times could be a lot of work if you don't have the time or you are not used to it.
Instead of wallowing in excuses, the best thing to do is to master traffic instead and start selling other people's products as an affiliate.

As an affiliate, you won't make 100% commissions but at least you will be making a lot of money without all the hard work.

This Post Is About a "Deadly Scam" Nigerians Are Losing Their Money to And How You Can Protect Yourself.

Yesterday, I saw a post about someone who lost millions via her account with one of the popular digital wallets around.
Many people are blaming the owners of digital wallet providers.

I am not here to take sides.

From time to time, people lose money to fraudsters via their bank account or digital wallets.
In most cases, these losses occur due to the fact that many people are ignorant about a type of deadly scam method known as Phishing.

So, what is Phishing?

This is Wikipedia's definition:

Here is how to make money the easy way...right now.

I had to post this thread because I just finished speaking to a Bsc. graduate of more than 4 years who still earns N45k a month.

He blames it on the fact that he studied "history" in school and because of the Nigerian economy.
I had to set his head straight.

Just like many struggling people, he is too dependent on his certificate as an income vehicle.

Having a certificate does not mean you should suspend your brain, my friend.

Note that I didn't say this is how to get rich.
Getting rich is a different game entirely.

This is just about making enough money to stop unnecessary struggle.

There is no reason why you can't make at least N300k a month if you put your brain to use.

Here is an idea:

Let me help you with some clarity.

In order to make anything from N1m to N5m a month online, you only need 3 things:

(1) One or two hot products with a huge market

(2) A powerful sales funnel to sell the products

(3) 1 mega traffic source

Focus on these 3 & thrash the rest.
One of the main reasons why people don't get results fast enough is that they make things too complicated.

You want to do everything just because others are doing them.

You want to do podcasts, start a Youtube channel, Post videos on Instagram everyday, start a blog, etc
You forget that TIME & ENERGY are limited resources.

And you need a lot of both to get results with just one thing.

But no!

You think you are superman with all the incredible energy and speed.

That is why you burn out with nothing in your bank account to be happy about.

How to make a year's salary in one day

N1,068,750.

That was the exact credit alert I got on August 9th, 2018.

See the attached image.

The payment was the commission paid to me by a real estate company due to the sale of a real estate property that came in through me.
After taxes.

That was my first real estate chopping.

And it felt good.

The average Nigerian earns N120,000 a month.

By the time the government has removed the tax, it will remain about N1,300,000+

Now, think about this.
If you could sell a piece of real estate in 12 months that gives you an extra N1m a year, wouldn't that be good?

I know that will be nice.

And the good thing is that selling one piece of real estate all year can be easily achieved.

There is money everywhere.

This thread is about how you can train your mind to see it.

I will start by saying if you have a tertiary education, then congrats.

You have successfully untrained your mind not to see money opportunities.
Unless you are from a rich family, I have found out that in most cases, people who have a degree usually have a hard time seeing "money opportunities" because they have been trained by the system to only see "job opportunities"

I am not saying it is a bad thing.
I mentioned it because if you want to train your mind to start seeing money, you have to start by "untraining" it.

And you do that by understanding how money is made which is:

All Money Is Made By Somebody Selling Something to Somebody Else!

Sam Adeyemi is one of the few people in this country who genuinely helps Nigerians to improve their lives

Here Are 7 Success Lessons I Learnt From Him:

(1) You won't catch a big fish in a small stream. To get the big fish you are looking for, go to the sea where they exist.
(2) Your mind is your most important asset. Develop it. Take care of it. Don't let weeds grow there.

(3) There is no quick route fix to success. There is a price you have to pay to get the success you desire.

(4) The experience of another person is your best teacher.
(5) Stop waiting for a perfect time to start taking the actions that will improve your life. The time will never be perfect. Start now.

(6) We never rise beyond the level of our knowledge. This is why you must keep acquiring new and helpful information.
