Be Like The Top Blogger Can Make You Rich

Catchy title right? Some of you might be asking who Linda Ikeji is and whats my business with her?, well the only way to get full details about her is by doing a simple google search on her name to get more info.

Okay, let me just tell you a little bit about her. Linda Ikeji is one of the foremost bloggers in Nigeria and she is just one person among the many successful bloggers we have in Nigeria. This young lady started her blog about four years ago and little by little she has grown the blog into a business that fetches her over 1 million naira monthly. Unbelievable right? Read on

Linda make money from her blog in 3 ways.

1. From Ad Dynamo Adverts (this fetches her up to 150k monthly)
2. From Google Adsense adverts (this fethces her 700,000 monthly)
3. Direct adverts from companies

Number 3 is actually her biggest source of her income because over 20 companies advertise on her blog monthly. The funny thing is that there is nothing superficially great about this blog, just that she has been able to build her brand name and gotten loyal visitor which convert to traffic for her. Airtel, Etisalat, MTN, Nigerian Idols and all Major Banks advertise their products and services on her blog and these companies pay nothing less that 300k monthly for an ad slot.

Linda Ikeji said with her own mouth that she never believed she could go this far. She has built 2 houses in lagos. (one for her parents and one for herself) and she has over 4 cars. And all this income is coming from a small blog that she didn't even spend up to 5000 naira to create.

Blogging = Money. Or better still Blogging + Traffic = Money.

You can visit her blog on http://lindaikeji.blogspot.com to see how she runs the business. Every blog post on her site gets over 200 comments, this girl is in money.

I know the question on your mind right now is how can I start my own blog to make money?

Fastiest way To Get Accepted By Google Adsense

 I hope you have started your blogging business already. My advice is that you startup yours as soon as possible. Don't get discouraged. Don't let anybody pull you down. Don't let money be your driving force. If the blogging doesn't start paying this month, It will definitely pay next month October. If it worked for me, Linda Ikeji, Seun Osewa and other bloggers out there It will work for you too.

Okay today I'll be discussing how to get accepted by Google Adsense. Without Adsense, your blog is useless as it will just be there for nothing. Adsense should be your priority as a beginner blogger.

Being a veteran in the game, I don't really depend on Adsense anymore, They pay well though, but I focus more on getting big companies and brands to advertise on my blog. I recently just got one with Glo and they paid very well to advertise on my blog. Lol...when I got to Glo's office in VI, Lagos they were not expecting to see a young boy show up as the owner of the leading internet blog Gidiexclusive.com. The media manager was quite impressed.

When your own blog becomes established, you will start getting all this sponsored adverts (I'll show you how to get them). At least by December you must have established your blogs online presence if you work hard.


Back To Business: How To Get Accepted By Google Adsense

1. Make sure your blog has up to 25 posts. If you can't write all the 25 posts (articles) yourself, visit google.com and search for already written articles related to the topic of your blog, copy it, edit it a little and then post on your blog. Yes, it is allowed. Make sure you have up to 25 posts on your blog before you apply for Adsense. If you have applied before and was disapproved, re-apply.

2. Make your blog look official. Yes, make it look official. Create a facebook page for your blog and put the link of your Facebook page on your blog so when Google Adsense reviews your blog, they will see it there and assume that your blog is official. They will accept you afterwards.

3. Be careful with what type of content you are publishing. Because it is something that truly matters. Google Adsense does not approve blogs that contain adult content/porn. They also don't accept blogs that promote racial/tribal conflicts, racism and tribalism. Your blog must also be written in English to get approved.

4. When registering for Adsense, you will be asked for your Zip/Postal code. Make sure you enter it correctly. If you don't know the zip code of your State, Google it. You will surely find it. I reside in Lagos and the zip code is 234001.

Okay, get to work immediately. Blogging is money I keep saying.
