How I Started to Make Money Blogging in Nigeria

In the summer of 2011, November 12, 2011 to be price, I joined the blogging bandwagon and began sharing my thoughts on my then blog – samuelkermis.wordpress.com – then I move on to create another powerful motivation blog on September 6, 2013.

I called that blog – ProMotivator – am pretty sure some of you reading this post right now, would have probably come in contact with that blog before it transfigured and metamorphosed into something much bigger, IncomeSplash.com, a blog that later got shutdown due to my inability to pay my yearly Hosting subscription.

Let’s get back a bit into the past, that is, when I started out, am talking about my first encounter with a blog in 2011…

I didn’t know what a blog is, what it is about, let alone how to make money via blogging.

Believe me, I didn’t know all those things, and truth be told, I didn’t care or bother myself about knowing them either.

What I wanted was to just find a platform where I could easily share my thoughts, my experiments, my wins, and the likes.

I remember searching these terms – how to share my knowledge on the internet And how to get my works online – on my then Blackberry Curve 1 phone.

Well, it worked as those searches led me straight into the world of blogging, though I have to say unknowingly.

I tried out with BlogSpot, then WordPress, then Wix, Tumblr, and a couple other platforms. They were nice, but it was one heck of a learning curve for me as I was simply getting started and didn’t really know my way around using those tools.

In fact, at some point I had to press pause since the whole thing was quite frustrating…crickets everywhere. I mean nobody was checking my stuffs, no form of engagement, and I sure wasn’t making no dime.

Gosh!

I just gave up!

But then, in early 2013, I took a U-turn and I began reading blogs, downloading ebooks, and making blogging buddies via blog commenting who all contributed into teaching me how to truly start and grow a blog of means in Nigeria.

By September, I was ready and full of fire to start my first ever successful blog online…but by successful, I didn’t mean in terms of money, but in terms of engagement. Oh my God! I had crazy engagement, but unfortunately, I didn’t know how to turn those engagements into money.

That was when I began to alter and create new processes that led me into the world of creating and selling blogs via Flippa, reviewing blogs, accepting sponsored posts, doing affiliate marketing, and selling services via Fiverr, an online market place for people trying to make money online.

But Guess What?

I failed in almost 70% of these online making money ventures.

And trust me, it wasn’t because these platforms or methods of making money online didn’t work, no, it was more because I was rather too fast with my ambition to make money fast online, which all turned out very depressing.

In fact, I made considerable amount of money which contributed immensely into paying my bills: I was an orphan and that means I had to take of my bills, which were paying for my school fees, shelter and livelihood, and other things in-between.

But asides the fact that I had to pay my bills, I was not also wise at spending my money.

Plus concentrating on each of those platforms became a hard nut to crack for me.

In addition to that,  these making money online methods  required my active engagement, which wasn’t really cool, especially if one was going to last and enjoy spending the money in peace.

So what, I began to seek passive methods of making money online.

I found some really cool ones which am about to expose to you in this article.

However, I am not here to just talk about “blogging” as it sounds to you or as you must have read somewhere else.

I simply want to show you how to build a profitable long-term business online using a blog as a perfect medium to reach out to your potential customers.

Not only that, you’ll also discover some REALLY  important factors you should never ignore if you want to be successful with your blog on a long-term basis.

So are you game?

Let’s dive in…

What is a Blog?

In literal term, a blog is a communication channel between an author and a reader, where the former strives hard to either communicate his interests or a research work and shares it in an easy to read (engaging) format to the later, that is, the reader who also is the front-end-user of such blogs. In other words, a blog can be written in a fun or technical format, and it is a kind of journal journaling the life and thoughts of the back-end-user, that is, the author of the blog.

What is Blogging?

Blogging is an ongoing activity that involves publishing content such as Text, Audio, Videos, Infographics, and any other form of useful and helpful information via your weblog.
