island now

Well these guys started their blog and you know exactly what they were blogging about
expecting to make it rich quick? Yes you would know that their blog was full of copied articles
from another blog, they were just lifting different entertainment and gossip article unto their
blog, their story did not end well
JOBS AND VACANCIES
This Blog Niche is a very popular niche in Nigeria, why is it so popular? It is popular because of
the high level of unemployment in the country, everyday people especially students (graduates
and undergraduates) search for Job Vacancies online.
Hold on!, am sorry I applied the brake so fast, don't just go and start registering a domain name
with a hosting space and expect to start making the money in few months, No! No!! No!!! , I said
earlier that this category/niche is very popular, what do you expect the situation would look
like? Cool? , Easy?, Fierce? e.t.c. as a beginner you would think it will be cool and people will be
checking out my blog in no time but am sorry to tell you that it will be fierce and though because
there are bigger blogs in that particular niche and they are already killing the show, they have
2. created trust among their readers, they have become a brand and they are making a lot of money
from it.

BUSINESS AND ENTERPRISE
I so much like this category even though I have little or no clue if I am to blog about it, No Clue?
You mean you know nothing about business? No, I don't know much about it but I know little
about it and it is in terms of promotion and management, lets go back to our topic.
Blogging about business be it small businesses or Enterprises, you must or should have
experience about it i.e you should be an entrepreneur, you can only succeed in thus category if
you have knowledge about it. There are some business blogs i have come across, some motivated
me while i bounced off some, I shouldn't be mentioning names but I will, some of theme are
Enterprise Boom (despite being a new business blog, it has great ambition and am rest
assured it is here to stay and create impact)
Wealth Result,
My Top Business Ideas and
Entrepreneurs Creed
To Make a Mark in this Niche, You should take the following into consideration
You Should have the Knowledge about Business not necessary being an entrepreneur,
You should be committed to the blog - The blog is going to take most of your time
because you would be receiving mails from different people that wants to go into
business and you will be replying comments on your blog.
3. Make Use of Marketing Strategies - Improve your SEO (Search Engine Optimization) it
is very important because people are searching on Google and Search Engines how to
start a successful Business on different Business fields. Utilize the power of social media
like Facebook, Twitter and the rest of them to market your blog and unlock its potentials.
I wish i knew more about business I would have started a business blog hahaha!
Be Patient - Hold your peace and don't be afraid of 0 traffic, bloggers experiences it.
MAKE MONEY ONLINE NICHE
People wants to make money, they want it without stress, they want it online!!!. Cyberwaver is
Okay now! am sorry if i was to aggressive but i was trying to show you something, this blogging
niche has a huge advantage and also a huge disadvantage.
Many people have been scammed by the owners of make money online in Nigeria overnight
blogs, I always ask myself this question that somebody will be saying make 1 million naira within
one week through importation business ohh! some works why some do not work.
It always come in this way,
"Grab my Business Importation EBook today and Discover how I am making N500,000 every
week right from my bedroom! for N2000"
My brother if you see this kind of article on a blog won't you be pushed to get the EBook for that
little amount?
To Succeed in thus blog Niche , Observe the following
Build Trust - If people trust you, they will do what you say. Though it is hard to get around those
scammers who makes noise about generating income why they do not have any, as times goes on
people will trust you.
Use Genuine Proofs - Most Nigerians are doubting Thomas, they can only believe what they see
Bro "Seeing is believing" Nobody doubts that here in Nigeria.
Be Consistent - Write about new ways of making money and do not relent
Be Patient - Yes do your best and leave the rest for God to handle for you.
4. Education and Admission Awareness
No one wants to be left behind on what is happening in the Education sector and they would like
to be updated by reading your blog. Admission News, Exam News are the major things people
wants to read from your blog.
To make a mark in this area, Follow these simple steps you already Know ;
Give to Caesar what Belongs to Caesar - Students wants examination news on WAEC,
JAMB, NECO and other major exams , Admission news and entries
Do Not Prolong Articles – Write smart, short and detailed articles, students don’t like to
waste their valuable time on your blog posts.
Define Your Promotion Strategies – When I say “Strategies” , I am letting you know that
you must employ different methods to promote your blog posts examples are Social
Media ( make use of Facebook and Twitter too reach students) , SEO (Search Engines
Optimization) you should optimize your post for search engines to be able to crawl it and
you know what traffics from search engines are always free and valuable traffic, some
keywords that works well in Educational Sector are ; “Jamb 2016/2017 Latest News”,
“Waec May/June 2016 Timetable” and other keywords, You can use Google Adwords or
Long Tail Pro any one of the two is better.
Be Patient – As always, take it easy and wait for your hard work to be a success

Materials
Place Adverts on the blog (you need good alexa rank and high page views to get clients)
Use Adsense and other CPC/PPC advertisement platforms
SPORTS (FOOTBALL) NICHE
Most Nigerians Like Sports especially Football, I like this niche because you can easily get
traffic to your blog if you can write a catchy headline that will make people read what you got.
Many people like watching football, you can just reach them where they hangout and let them
know what you have on your blog, sports blog can be engaging like asking them a question
5. inform of Hazard versus Neymar who do you think is the best? Hmm hmm your comment
number will grow to the extent that you won’t be able to moderate it any longer.
How to make a mark in this niche, follow these steps
Publish Posts with Catchy Headlines – People like catchy headlines in football like “Jose
Mourinho was dumb when they asked him these questions” who wouldn’t like to read posts like
that, but be mindful it must be real don’t just go and write something people will confront you.
Make Use of Social Media – If you want to get huge traffic to your sports blog, go and join
different Facebook groups for each football club such as Arsenal, Man U and many of them in
the sense that when you publish a post concerning each clubs you can easily share it to that
group and you can never imagine the amount traffic you will get for that post
Be Patient – Don’t push it, wait for it!

ENTERTAINMENT AND GOSSIP
This category is overcrowded which means you have to invest your time and money to at least
develop loyal followers. Entertainment I what Nigerians like the most and they will continue to
read on any blog they find it but they have a blog in which when they switch on their phones or
laptops they head to that blog before any other blog to read something new on entertainment
category.
To Make a Mark in Entertainment and Gossip Niche Blog, follow these steps
Publish New Posts Daily – Wait how is that possible? Writing 10 t0 20 posts per day? This is
where modifying contents on other blogs comes in, you have no option than to modify existing
post i.e making some crazy adjustments to the post to make it somehow different from other
blogs (Use your brain and do not let other blogs know you are doing plagiarism ).
6. Use Social Media with less SEO – Entertainment blogs in general do not require focusing
much on SEO though you need it for some post but you need to be active on social media join
relevant groups comment on some of the group post with your post URL (link) it will generate
the post thumbnail by itself, you can go extra mile by tweaking the post title to attract more
clicks ( do not spam the group too much)
Run Online Campaign(Ads) – If you really want to grow your entertainment blog in no time
you have to run Ads on Nairaland, Facebook (recommended), why I said Facebook is
recommended is because Nairaland traffic will not last for a while on your blog, they will
increase your bounce rate and will never come back again, Facebook canbe directed to certain
and optimized to show for different people of different country and age group.
Be Patient – Don’t push it, wait for it.
