I have read several articles on how to Make Money Online! Some, I read on websites that I visited, some I got unsolicited. Some, from websites that were phishing.
Coming from a country whose image abroad has been bastardize by some greedy and unscrupulous citizens, I want to demonstrate that a honest Nigerian can earn money online without indulging in fraudulent activities.
Well, this being my very my first post, and I want to state clearly what my aim for starting this blog is.My main goal for starting this blog is to achieve the following:
- Make Money by rendering services online.
- Get famous in the blogosphere while retaining my Nigerian Identity.
To achieve this, my targeted audience will be
- Newbie bloggers (like myself),
- Newbie entrepreneurs online and
- Nigerians in the blogosphere.
My plan is to start a business blog with zero dollar. I will be investing the following resources.
- Time
- Skills learnt online
- Other peoples experience
- Friends and Readers Contribution
After raising income online (it will be entirely raised online), I will move the blog to a paid hosting package.
Just like any offline business I have my goals well written out, I have set targets, and I am drawing out comprehensive plans on how to achieve them. Most importantly, I am determined to work relentlessly until I have achieved my goals stated above.
Since the success of any business online can be zeroed down to a single phrase “quality traffic = profit” (that is the understanding I have for now), I will be focusing most of my resources on getting good content on my blog and then using various social networks media to draw visitors to the blog.
I will measure the success of my blog using the following parameters:
- Numbers of Visitors.
- Number of Comments
- RSS Feed Subscriptions.
- Contact Forms.
- Newsletter Sign-ups.
- Business Directly Generated
That is it. Thanks for visiting and reading this article. If you like my post, encourage me by dropping a comment. Subscribing to my RSS feed will surely be much appreciated and of course I am looking forward to your return visit. Enjoy!

Like your determination,and i must tell you it takes that and a lot more for one to succeed in the blogging business.Welcome to blogging,can't wait to see you earn your first cash.

Thanks for your encouragement.
Welcome to the blog world. I would suggest you buy a domain as soon as possible though if you really want to make money online. It goes a long way to show credibility and seriousness with advertisers and bloggers alike. It also gives you more options in terms of design and what you can do with your own domain.
I have two blogs that I run, both domains were registered through go-daddy for around $8 USD.

I don't know much about nigeria so I don't know if $8 USD is a lot or a little there, but with programs like Text-link-ads and projectwonderful.com you can start earning money very quickly and your initial start up cost will be paid for in no time.
