Want to make money online? Why not try Blogging?
Blogging is making a lot of Americans and Europeans become internet millionaires and the fire is just catching up in Nigeria and I'm not just talking.
It is a growing profession and does not yet have a curriculum or department in the Universities or Colleges of education but it is putting food on the table for some while buying new homes for a select few.
There are many ways to make money online in Nigeria even if it is just by taking pictures but I don't want to start talking about them now rather I want to focus on blogging in Nigeria.
What is a Blog and how do I start blogging? Well I also answered them here but in brief blogging is basically sharing your knowledge on the web by means of texts, pictures, videos and other means of communication. Blogging mostly involves writing and publishing what you have on a website that is designed to accept updates in a particular format

How To start Blogging in Nigeria
- Get a domain name for around $11 a year
- Get web hosting for a year (Costs around N3000/year at some Nigerian web hosts)
- Set up a blogging software like Wordpress or other software on it
- Focus on a theme and start writing and publishing

How to make money Blogging
Well the rules about making money online still apply to blogging and this means that you have to commercialize it by any means such as online advertising and the most beneficial is Google adsense

- Make as many as 50 blog posts as possible at least 500 words per post
- Sign up for Google adsense from google.com/adsense
- Install adsense manager or any other update to your Wordpress blog and add your code
- Keep making money online by making new posts

There you have it. You are very well on your way to making money online blogging in Nigeria.

Wealthy Affiliate is responsible for my 6 figure a year income, my total freedom, my free time with my family, my many vacations, my house, my cars, and everything else that I have as a result of succeeding at internet marketing.

@Ongaji, I would advise you just get a web host to set up a blog for you. Some of them have blog packages that will allow you to just start blogging immediately assuming you don't want to bother yourself setting up a website and blogging software

I am interested in blogging but I don't know how to set up my own site. Is there anyway I can get a complete and ready to use blog?



Re: Make money Blogging in Nigeria - Part 1 Posted by Felix Okoli on Thursday November 11, 2010 at 20:36:21:

Just ask a website designer to do it for you or get a complete blogging package from your web host. There are some Nigerian web hosts who would set up a ready to use blog for you

I really like your site. Excellent content. Please continue posting such profound cotent.

It is surprising that a lot of people in Nigeria don't yet know about blogging as there are still a few Nigerian blogs out there when compared to the growing number of internet users in the country. Nigeria currently is the highest internet user country in Africa which could really help bloggers go professional.

I have a blog site I have bin running for a year now and have made a lot of posts on it but my problem is having low traffic. I just want to know how to get more visitors to my blog


Re: Make money Blogging in Nigeria - Part 1 Posted by Felix Okoli on Friday December 3, 2010 at 10:25:40:

One thing first I want to say about people with unpopular blogs is that they should learn how to go popular. Your blog's niche matters a lot, I mean the keywords your blog is related to. You need to provide user friendly information to users if you want them to keep coming to your site.
For instance, we know that the highest category of people that use the internet in Nigeria are students and graduates so if you want to have more traffic to your site, you should try to derail a while from your usual blog rants and write about topics that would be of interest to them for instance - Job vacancies or information about WAEC and Jamb exams.
Another thing is you should learn how to make your blog have more authority and attraction such as having your own unique name rather than just a blogspot or free wordpress domain. I mean, you really want to make money online from blogs right, then you ought to have your own domain name and paid hosting.
Thirdly you also need content. Try to make longer posts but not too long as 250 - 500 words should be enough and make many of them as the saying goes - " Content is king". If your blog has little or no content, even search engines would not drive traffic to you.

What's the best niche to focus us that will generate the best income?


Re: Make money Blogging in Nigeria - Part 1 Posted by Felix Okoli on Wednesday December 8, 2010 at 14:38:10:

Although technology related blogs are more profitable, however there are other niches which are equally more profitable such as real estate and automobiles. So those niches are good for those who are in those kind of business such as real estate agents or car dealers. The most important thing is to choose a niche you are knowledgeable about and can keep blogging about

There is a lot of niches that remain untapped in Nigeria. We just need to dicover them and setup related blogs to make money with them
