We spend money we do not even have, paying heavily for data bundles and buying expensive mobile devices, just to stay connected to our social media accounts.

If you fall into the category of people described above, you are already addicted to social media, and may not even be aware!

Instead of urging you to stay away from social media, I will rather encourage you to find a way of earning a living out of your addition to the internet, just like I have made over 100 million naira through the internet this year alone.

Nigeria?s e-commerce industry has experienced a massive surge in the last three years and now worth $550 million (about N109.4billion), with Jumia and Konga selling to over 1 million customers regularly

Good news is that you really don’t need to spend plenty money building and designing your own ecommerce website before you take advantage of the new trend which is fast rendering physical shops and trading inactive.

You can start with a blogging career, by attending my one-day blogging training, where your own professional blog will be developed for you – free!

When it comes to a lifestyle-friendly business, blogging appears to have it all. You get to work from home, focus on a topic of interest and share your creative talents. No company registration, corporate accounts, office space, office equipment or staff needed to take off. All you need is a mindset, ability to learn and a laptop computer (My company sells laptops from N45,000).

But what is a blog?
A blog is a frequently updated online personal web page. It is a place to express yourself to the world. A place to share your thoughts and your passions.

How do you make money from blogging?
There are multiple ways of making money from blogging:
Google Adsense: Google places relevant adverts on your blog, and pays you as people click on the adverts.

Affiliate Marketing: There are many companies that offer affiliate programs that enable you to earn money through your blog. Jumia, Konga, Kaymu, Efritin are a few of them, and I will teach you how, at the training.

Network Marketing: Network marketing is one of the hardest businesses to venture into, especially in Nigeria; but with easy and reliable networks like Club080.com/philip you can earn N1,000 – N40,000 daily through your blog

Sell your own Ad space: You can sell your own ad space directly to advertisers and charge between N200,000 – N2,500,000 per month from each advertiser.

Publish Posts and Reviews for Pay: You can write blog posts on your own blog in exchange for pay, and they are always companies and individuals who want their products and services reviewed or discussed online, and the average charge per post is about N50,000
