The Nigerian Entreprenuer Seeking to Make Money Online – Naijaecash is three months old! The journey that started casually on March 6th this year is becoming interesting as the days go by. It is no longer the story of one unknown Nigerian from an obscured place in Africa, but the story of what the online community can do for a man that choose to be sincere.

Nigerian Entrepreneur 3rd Month Progress Report
Saturday, June 7th, 2008Stop Looking For Job, Create A Business!
Thursday, June 5th, 2008How long have you been looking for a job? Probably months or even over a year! How long will it take before you get your dream job? Have you ever thought of starting a small business instead of spending all your time and resources looking for job in a market where supply is more than demand?
It is a painful thing to be un-employed (as it translates into no-income or living on charity). It grieves my heart when I see able bodied young men and women in Nigeria going from one company to another looking for job. Often they are made to queue for hours under hot sun before they take a job-test or are interviewed. The job market is so saturated that it is common to see 100 applicants queuing for a vacancy for 2!
Rich Schefren Offer’s Free Package Worth Over $5,000
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008It is quite funny that while some small newbie online entrepreneurs are asking for two digit US dollars to part with re-cycled information, the guru-of-gurus Rich Schefren is giving away another free package worth over $5,000. Yes, you heard me right. He is a teacher to the gurus (those guys making six digit income), some of his teachings cost over $5,000 per head.
This is not some digital product, ebook or ezine that will not cost him anything to send straight into your mailbox. The materials are hard-copy manuals that will incur shipping charges. Do not get frightened, you will not pay for the shipping charges, he is picking the shipping charges bill. If this package is not mouth watering, then I wonder what is. (more…)
The Nigerian Proclamation – One Year After!
Saturday, May 31st, 2008Last year, a fellow Nigerian Blogger, Solomonsydelle wrote an article THE NIGERIAN PROCLAMATION. It generated enough uproar that caused BBC News to write an article on it. Even though I do not blog about politics, I quite identify with the burden of Solomonsydelle . I share the dream he has for a better Nigeria.
One year after that write-up, it is time to take account how far each Naija brother and sister have contributed to make our nation the IDEAL we dream and talk about! Read the Proclamation Full Text below and tell us where you stand. As far as the Nigeria Project is concern, we will love to know whether you are a PILLAR or a CATERPILLAR. (more…)
Self-Promoting Your Blog for Traffic
Thursday, May 8th, 2008There are over 50millions blogs out there, and more are being created as I write this post. Yet each blogger wants to be known. Everyone wants Traffic! That according to Rich Schefren is “endless demand for attention…” Everyone wants attention! Since 24hours/day cannot be extended, internet users are learning to be on guard, they have all manner of automatic filters programmed into their brain to filter out unwanted websites. They unconsciously rank older websites with high level of patronage as being more trustworthy while new websites are treated as suspects.
That is quite a big hurdle for every new blogger. How can people establish trust in me when I am not even given an opportunity to show that I am trustworthy? (I should be given a fair hearing first before judgment is passed 🙁 ). Unfortunately, that will not happen! The verdict has already been passed, “New websites and are not to be trusted until they prove they are trustworthy.” The verdict was passed before I have an opportunity to present my case!
That is the reason some blogs have thousands of visitors per day (great website traffic 😉 ), while some newbie bloggers can scarcely boast of 10visitors in a week(poor website traffic 🙁 ). As a newbie, this can be demoralizing. After investing so much energy and resource into a blog (setting up a beautiful layout, providing quality content), it is depressing to notice that nobody is coming around to visit. So what can you do?
