How Can IM Solve This Problem? *$20,000*

5 replies
Hello ,Friend.
Let me state that I am a Nigerian and I need help at the moment. I need $20,000 in my bank account between now and the middle of next year due to the embassy's requirement which is at least $15000 in your bank account spread over 6 months but I don't know how to achieve this.

My most available skill is wordpress site design and here is one I sold in December last year on flippa>> Seo article press | SEO Article Writing Service.

I love website flipping with a passion and I also know that adsense site sell like hot cake on there. My problem is how to write good content and how to SEO my content (or maybe I feel I am not good enough). I could put a strings of words correctly together to make a good sentence but I don't think that is enough to make a good content.

The last time I wrote an article for promotion was during the EZA era but I don't know what traffic system work in today's IM. I did use yahoo Answer and EZA back then.

I thought of setting up website for free via an hosting affiliate link(hosgator) and my best bet would be via craiglist but I can't use it since I am not in the U.S

I actually need the money to support my schooling in Canada as I hope to do a post graduate course there and settle down thereafter. I couldn't get any help from my half American brother who is of the same mother and now a medical. I believe he does not understand and probably think otherwise since he has spent virtually all his life in the US.

I just want to help lift my siblings since I am the only one who made it to a higher institution(what Americans call college). I would be graduating this year. I want to leave Nigeria for economic and financial reasons.

I would appreciate any idea that could help me achieve this.

But do note that any tip or idea you share should be achievable and applicable in Nigeria.
Thank you for reading up to this end and thanks for your time.

    i notice that you are a hostgator affiliate. right ? you just need 21 people willing to buy hostgator through your affiliate link and you get $2000 +

    I am also a hostgator affiliate and have earned over $3000 in just 30 days time. I did the following :

    I visited www.justdial.com and looked for beauty salons first. In my local area I got 503 salons out of which 70% of them do not have a website. Pulled out the addresses and telephone numbers and sent letters to over 300 salons out of which i got 100 telephone enquiries and 15 of them placed the order.

    Then from the same site, I pulled out Jewellery showrooms and I got a list of over 700 of them in my city. Did the same exercise and 15 of them placed the order.

    This was my first month's effort. I offered them to design the website free and asked them to just pay for the hosting account and domain charges and made them pay directly using their card. Some of them didn't know how to do it. I did remote access and helped them complete the payment process.

    It takes almost 45 - 60 minutes to complete the process of signing up with hostgator and the domain account creation.

    Like this I keep searching for categories and target one industry and one city and keep targetting them.

    30 sales x $125 = $3750 has been my earnings during the first month.

    If you have similar search engines in NIGERIA like www.justdial.com or peoplespage.com then try this.

    Hope this tip helps.

      thanks man. I know how that work with hostgator but frankly Nigeria has not gotten websites like the one you gave here... But I think that I will have to place Advert on newspaper in order to achieve this but the problem might be that most Nigerians don't know how to use a credit card even if I tell them how to get it and I may not be in the same location or state as them. I was just wondering I could do this effectively do this because Nigeria is different.

    I will tell you. Start doing affiliate marketing.. Buy a couple of domains and use plugins like azon builder or WP zon builder and create auto sites.

    Pay for five gogs on fiverr.

    1. 3 articles for $5.
    2. 300 social bookmarkings for $5.
    3. Link wheel gig.
    4. Article submission to UAW list.
    5. Article submission to MBR .

    Use those 3 articles on your own site.
    Buy the other four gigs by simply searching for popularity on fiverr,
    These will definately help in increasing your PR.
    Do a little on page seo or buy SEO pressor or WP seo to do on page seo for ya!
    see if you are getting conversions or else sell the sites.
    You will earn easy $500-$1000.

    Apart from this, you can get into facebook fan page timeline cover designing, you can start giving video testimonials to those who release WSO'S. Soon you will have hordes of ppl asking you to do video reviews for them.

    another thing: Buy war room membership. There are lots of free books, templates and help !!

      You said you like flipping websites, well then how about you do what you are good at. Build simple turnkey starter sites. I have seen these sites get up to $50-$300 dollars, if you have time then you should just seat down at your computer and build sites all day. Sell, them as starter sites, if you are able to sell 100 sites for around $200 dollars each, then you will have the money you need.

      Of course description is key when selling websites on sites like flippa.

      Do what you like doing!!!
