The Nigerian internet estate: the myths, facts and the reality II (Google ad sense)

This article is a sequel to the other piece posted on this blog, and this article will be incomplete if I don’t make mention of this very formidable online money making opportunity that has enriched many netpreneurs world wide and Nigeria is not left out in this. The program is owned by google.com one of the largest web portal worth about $174.83 billion, and it is currently the biggest media company in the world. It is bigger than notables like Time Warner, the company which owns Time Magazine, CNN & America Online; it is bigger than Viacom, the owners of MTV and Paramount Pictures. In fact, Google is worth more than all the companies quoted in the Nigerian Stock Market combined! This includes Mobil, OANDO, Nigerian Breweries, Zenith and all the other banks (combined!). A single Google.com share costs more than $450 and it is projected to reach $600 a piece sometime next year - that's more than N50, 000! a piece (compare this to that of say Zenith bank that sells for less than N50!).. Like I always say the number one thing in online business is being truthful to your audience since he/she can’t see you, and since I joined this trend of latest genre of Nigerians who are hitting it big from genuine online money making opportunities

Now do you know that Microsoft network wants to purchase yahoo for a record sum of $44.6 billion dollars (about 535.5 billion Naira), ask me why: the simple reason being that MSN with all its affiliate networks and companies still trail behind google in online sales, and buying yahoo will be a big boost in its battle against market leader google for pre-eminence on the online search market. Now what is ad sense? It is a special pay-per click system developed by google where specific ads related to the content on your site/blog are displayed and each time a visitor hits your site/blog and clicks on any of the ad your get paid. This is not a scam. Remember I told you that Google.com is worth over $100 Billion; well this is one of the ways they make their money. Here they serve as 'agents' between people who want to attract visitors to their websites and people who have advertisement space on their own website. It doesn't matter if what you have is a free website or not. All you need to do is to design a website on a particular niche; it could be golf, health and fitness, dieting, online money making opportunities etc. from my last post I discussed briefly how to design a web page using Microsoft FrontPage, presently I’m taking my time designing my site, developing content and then hosting it. Very soon the site will hit the web. Back to our main discussion, it doesn’t cost a fortune to get an ad sense account from google all you need is go to www.google.com/adsense, and in a couple of minutes google will start displaying ads related to your site/blog content for visitors to click on them and earn you revenue.

At the moment I’m still trying things out and learning from the masters and presently my ad sense revenue is swelling pretty fast and I’m really amazed by this lazy way of earning revenue without promoting a product or nice as is the case with google ad words/ Affiliate marketing. However I want to warn you that as a part of Google’s Terms of Service if by any way you click on the ads or tell some body else to do that for you, google will definitely find out, and when they do you are banned from participating from the program. So all you need to do for your self is to know how to build traffic for your site or blog. My next post I’ll be doing that.

However for more on google ad sense and how to earn revenue from it you can subscribe to this e-book by Liz Tomey titled ‘confessions of an ad sense girl’ for a token fee, presently I use this book and it has greatly enriched my ad sense experience; and by purchasing this google ad sense elixir as I call it, you also stand a chance of getting a free e-book on The Nigerian stock market by a stock exchange guru Ikenna C Nwaiwu titled ‘ The Beginner’s Guide To Investing In The Nigerian Stock Market’.

LEGITIMATE WAYS OF MAKING MEGA BUCKS ONLINE; THE NIGERIAN EXPERIENCE At first I thought it was a huge joke as many Nigerians have been made to believe that scamming or perhaps 419 as many would call it is the only officially recognized way to make easy money online : making money online this way (though I never tried it, even when it almost became a trend) is the hardest, toughest and most time consuming money making exercise, however, those involved in this sad and unfortunate melee are yet to make this discovery; those who have, have chickened out. To be frank with you I’m still a green horn as regards making legitimate money online, but yet I can attest to the fact that legitimate and easy money online opportunities abound: but majority of those involved in this evil scheme (419) are yet to re-train their minds and instincts to believe this well acknowledged fact, besides, their 'income' is not steady and they live in constant fear of being caught by the authorities. Perhap...

Recognizing a True Online Guru (Contender) from a Fake (Pretender): Preventing Online Fraud

Since the proliferation of the niche ‘make easy money online’ a lot of charlatans have taken this opportunity to reap many unsuspecting individuals their hard-earned money. Promising to deliver to them easy systems that will enable them to make easy money online with no active participation or not even doing anything at all but sit and watch as the dollars roll into their bank accounts.  I find it really funny that in this information age where information abounds everywhere; from the internet to the media (electronic and print), from oral to written, people could still fall for their gimmicks and pay dearly by losing part or all of their money, a price they pay for being greedy and lazy.  However, it has been noted that approximately 97 percent of all online money niches are fraud: and as such one needs to be careful while carrying out online transactions these days. Having said this, I’ll like to take out time to list some possible online fraud, some from other people’s expe...
