How To Build A Successful Online Brand With Blogging and Earn Money

Published
2 years agoon

These days most people want to become a blogger just because they need quick cash but blogging is not a get rich quick job.
You need to understand what you are blogging about. What motivates you?
The way bloggers with a branded blog run their blogs is quite different from the non-branded blogger.
Blogging has given me a chance to work with a couple of companies and organizations. Some transactions failed, while some were successful.
I worked with Obi Worldphones (I was contacted by a PR company, Invicta Africa) and everything went well while a deal I had with Romoss Electronics, China broke down because the distributor in Nigeria insisted that I come to Lagos but I couldn’t go to Lagos simply because of a review. I felt bad but it’s a stepping stone to get to where I want. I think you ought to see blogging as a way to start off your brand. You should be a voice that reader’s can trust. Always be ready to accept corrections. It’s okay to be a Maverick or a Dissenter once in a while, you can even play the Devil’s advocate, it’s fun but don’t go off limits.
You may be scared that you won’t get enough people to see your content but with strategic marketing, you can boost a new blog from 0 to 100 in a couple of weeks. The question is. Are you ready to invest your time and money?
You need to be ready to invest your time and money strategically. Once you have planned out what your brand is going to be about you can start off.
Here’s a tip on how to build your brand while earning from affiliate marketing.
Let’s say you blog about fashion products and your Google AdSense isn’t really converting, take the bull by the horn. Join an affiliate program, select the best products, write a catchy headline with an attractive photo and promote the product on Facebook with your link. You’d be surprised to see how much you’d make compared to when you leave the link on your blog. Using Facebook algorithms, ads displayed are usually based on the person’s interests so your ad gets displayed to people who are really interested in it.
Facebook may be a social network but it’s not a non-profit organization, the users are it’s products and they’re offering them to you on an affordable platter. The more you spend the more people get to see your ad. You can try out the same strategy on Instagram, Twitter, Reddit and other social networks. Don’t just rush into an advertising campaign. Test the advertisements with a low budget, if the turnover is okay you can increase your budget..
If you spend $5 on a campaign and you earn $15-$20 that’s a good result.💰💰
You could try increasing your budget and see if it makes more money but if you don’t get back the money you spent, it’s totally unprofitable for you.
On the long run people will inadvertently get to trust your blog and it will boost your social media following as well thus building a successful online brand for you. Also try to reach out to other brands and see if you can get to partner with them. If it works out, it’s a win-win situation. You earn from the other brand and they get something from you in return as well. At the end everyone is happy. If you’re turned down, don’t feel dejected, there are over a thousand ways to get something done.
If you have any questions, feel free to use the comment box.

Breaking News : Diamond Bank Has Been Sold To Access Bank, Customers Express Concern

According to the Vanguard :
Access Bank Plc has finally acquired Diamond Bank Plc. According to insiders, the official announcement of the transaction will be made in the course of the week by the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, according to TheCable. Another source said confirmed that the deal has been sealed, awaiting final ratification from the regulatory body.
The acquisition was midwifed by the CBN in a bid to further consolidate the banking industry, sources informed. Last week, Diamond Bank announced its decision to drop its international operating licence to focus on national operations following capitalisation issues.
Uzoma Dozie, the bank’s Chief Executive Officer, confirmed the development in a statement released on Friday. Dozie had said: “With this approval, the bank will cease to operate as an international bank. “The re-licensing as a national bank supports Diamond Bank’s objective of streamlining its operations to focus resources on the significant opportunities in the Nigerian retail banking market, and the economy as a whole.
The move follows Diamond Bank’s decision to sell its international operations, which included the disposal of its West African Subsidiary in 2017 and Diamond Bank UK, the sale of which is currently in its final stages.” Broadcasting: NTA drops foreign satellites for NiGCOMSAT1R “The change to national bank status also enables the bank to maintain a lower minimum capital requirement of 10 per cent, as against 15 per cent required for international banks.” The bank recorded its worst month on record in November with share plunging to 0.61k per unit on November 30, 2018.
I wonder what this means for Diamond Bank users, well let’s keep our fingers crossed.

December 7, 2018
To keep myself busy during this strike, I multitask a lot – develop websites, blog, do graphics design jobs and develop user interfaces and experiences. These are actually stuffs I’ve always been doing, the strike just gives me more time to improve myself. So without further ado let me get started with the 3 Easy High Paying Tech Jobs You Can Do While ASUU Is On Strike.
1. UX/UI Designing
A UX/UI Designer is a person that designs how and app, website or software would look like and how it would work. UX/UI designer jobs can pay between 50k – 1.2m and the minimum amount is set by you as a designer or by your employer if you aren’t a freelance designer. As a UX/UI designer, you have to understand that it’s not just about designing, It’s about making your prototype usable and straightforward.
You can go through my portfolio and see the kind of jobs I’ve done –
Becoming A UX/UI designer isn’t rocket science but you need to be willing to learn and read a lot.
Make sure to join design communities like Dribbble, Uplabs and Behance.
Softwares you’ll need
- Adobe XD
- Sketch (Mac Only)
- Figma
- Invision
Don’t forget to look up some videos on Youtube related to UX/UI. Stay Creative.
2. Digital Marketing
3.Graphic Design Jobs
- Create About 7 Random Logo Designs
- Run An Advert On Facebook and promote the designs
- On the ad mention that you are designing logos for a really low price – maybe N2,500
- Add your whatsapp number to the ad so they can contact you
- Wait for your customers
Here’s the logic here, you promote the ad with around 2k or 3k to make the ad reach more than 10,000 targeted people. Let’s assume 100 people out of the 10,000 people contact you. 2,500 x 100 is equivalent to N250K .
So you earned 250k from an Ad you promoted with around N2500-N4000. These days you work smart not extra hard.
If you can’t use Photoshop or don’t have a laptop, you can buy my Ebook, I mentioned how to design without photoshop skills and also designing on a phone on the device. Cheers
I can
teach you more about targeting ads on social media to get more
customers, if you are interested – I can send you my E-book with a
detailed step by step tutorial on how to do that. The price of the
E-book is N1,500. Send me a whatsapp message +2348134375481. (Non
Nigerians can make payment via paypal)
