I want to thank you for coming to my daily celebrity news and photos online.In fact, the words of encouragement from people make me want to do more.I also thank God because the blog has surpassed my intial expectation.The responce I get from Nigerias all over the world is overwhelming.Sometimes, its amazing when people call from India,Singapore and all that.
Those who started with this blog in January will understand the transformation or should I call it a revolution in celebrity reporting in Nigeria.
I have given my time and everything to sustain it.I don't want to shut it down.That is the reason why I have to plead with you our esteemed readers to help us if you can by supporting through whatever means.I hate to do this but I want you to understand that it involves alot of resources to keep this thing floating.We want the blog to remain free and open.If you can assist us,I will be most honoured.You can even place advert.This would go a long way!
There is need to expand operations,need for good computer systems, regular internet services, mobility, camera,batteries and all that.
I love you all.I can't start mentioning names of people who have been there for us.Sure, one of these days I will.

You can start by having a real website and have it link to your blog and vice-versa. Maybe have a little snip on your blog that will then make readers want to go to your site. That's the most efficient way to make money. Blogging can only take you so far.
ReplyDeleteAlso I know everybody can't be a comedian but people love when jokes are being cracked, maybe find someone who is really good to help you write the stories up with a little bit of humor. Here are some sites to help you out.

I also don't think you should have to approve every comment before it is seen. If people come to yoursite and see zero (0) comment just because you have not gotten the time to approve, it makes them think it's not worth it enough for people to leave a message. Though not true, that's how it comes across.
hope I was helpful.
Niyi, a good way to raise funds for your blog would be through approaching small companies to allow you to advertise them on your blog. and You also need to get your name out big, that way you have a solid readership and following.
ReplyDeleteNiyi i hope today an anony gave you some education about not deleting visitors post. You must spend a lot of time deleting post.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many naija blogs out there yet yours seem to have the least comments, because YOU dont agree with a comment and thus delete it and not post it because someone gave you their piece of mind.
You have a long way to go brother.
Niyi, i agree with Anon on taking off the moderation thing. I think the person has gotten over whatever issues they had. The moderation thing really does slow down the blog.
ReplyDeleteMy dear Niyi, welcome to world of Naija who like to chop without paying for it. You think it is different because they are in the diaspora? Na lie o. Internet Naija people that hang around your kind of blog are very cheap at heart. Go ask people who have had sites longer than you - Nairaland, Naijarules, Naijaryders, bella Naija e.t.c.
ReplyDeleteYour target audience are mostly cheap Nigeria women who would rather spend thousands on a Gucci bag than give you a penny. They are quitely gigling right now. So the idea is to attract those who will sell things to them to advertise. Hang in there, you may prevail.You should start by registering with google ads but you need an account abroad.
anon 1-thank you so much for ur concern.Here's my hug..pls, hug the screen of ur computer!
ReplyDelete@pinkgoves- U are too much.U must be an excellent business person.Thank u!I would really love to have ur e-mail address
@Omosewa- I appreciate and u know it.I can't remove the moderation thing now because the last time i wrote about people stealling my work, one of them have been sending all manner of things.Omosewa, anytime i promote my blog as an emerging brand they get disturbed yet they can't resist coming here everyday.I am like a young man in a business reality show.Thats the way i feel.If i win...then, good!
If Nike can say 'just do it',Virgin Nigeria,Cocacola,Globacom,MTN and others can promote their products and services as the best, i don't see anyt reason why someone would be angry that i am promoting my blog as a brand.Some said 'Niyi,u are a begger. why are you begging people to help u if they can'.Believe me, i have no regret.In fact, I will postrate if that will bring people to support what i am doing!
@Tope-I don't know but knows ur address.HE will send his angel to deliever goodies o u.Pls,send me ur e-mail address so that u can enlighten me more.If i don't know something,i ask questions.I asked SOMEONE AND I GOT TO KNOW ABOUT BLOGGING.I also asked qustions and that was how Omosewa introduced me to facebook.Now, i love it.Thank u! Tope!
niyi r u on facebook?? if yes..wats ur name on there?
ReplyDeleteDont worry Niyi, just mantain your focus.
