I must say it has been a very crazy year.
A lot has happened and it was all so unexpected. A lot of people lost their jobs, government supplementing income, etc, etc.
Since this blog is about my life journey to online entrepreneur, so no lammmmmmenting ooooooooooo... as we dey say in Lagos, Lasgidi!
Some very short short snapshot update. hahahaha
Income for this month:
Online: about 6.00 pounds (YouGov survey and Prolific.ac survey)Live in Germany for now: Can't say how long I will be here for but loving it so far
Now we are a family of 4. Oh dear oh dear. Beyond my wildest dream and appreciative of God
Work a mini-job as a driving personnel. I can't even believe that either. Madness
Attending (Online) bible school until Coronavirus took over. hiaaaa...mad corona. But I am determined to finish. I will make it
I have 2 WordPress websites, hmmm... not making money ooooooooo....madness. I dunno why I keep saying madness. But it is madness. I am still aiming to make money as an entrepreneur (online or offline). what is it gaan? I will make it oooooooooooooooo
I might have to finish soon because of looking after the children oooo... but love it. Potty training up and down at the moment...looooooool
So this post may drop off at any time..lol but until then I continue.
I think I will post the link to my other websites here just in case any of my readers may be interested in visiting
Plans are up to keep restrategizing. This thing must work.
New skills I am learning are sewing ( sewing yes, since 2010? Yes since 2010), German, a bit of baking (using cake mixes), doodling...(don't even know the details of that)
I am also trying some social media eg Pinterest and Instagram. All a bit of work to even know how they work. crazy.
Bye...children calling.
Back to update 30.05.2020
Well... I have just finished reading up all my posts and I am kind of sad and happy at the same time. Why?
- My writing style has improved
- My paragraphing has definitely improved
- More concise thoughts ....hahahahahahha
- Sad because I am not a millionaire yet though registered self employed. No income on that one but employed in a mini job.
- Shaaaa... this self employment thing no wan work. Na lie it go work. 10 years don pass but I will keep going.
- Happy because I have achieved other marvelous things I CAN'T EVEN imagine in my life!
- And many more things I cant even remember right now as I have one child disturbing me ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..
So what am I up to these days?
Looooooooooooooooooooking after our children
Learning how to sew, specifically how to cut patterns for designs that I like.
Want to learn German by force ....hahahahah.. the embarrassment it too much for me to bear...sob sob sob sobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
What else, how to make money from home ( yes am still looking at that) Actually that is what brought me to update this blog. This blog can make money hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah.... I just have to make it work somehow. For some reason, my newer blogger blogs refuse to allow me generate money from Google adsense ooooooooooooooooooo.. Why.. I dont know.
So my new strategy is to now start to find ways that can make money for real. It needs to happen ooooooooooooooo..I am nearly 40 years OLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.... I can't even believe I am saying that. I think I am getting too serious when I write, due to being conditioned too write with audience in mind alllllllll the time. I just want to write a free flowing diary. that's all. I dont even know if I have real readers or all my pageviews are BOTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS . MAd bots! Crazy Bots! You! I WILL CATch you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Back to normal..ranting over.
So I have decided to use this bog as my free zone to write whatever I want without worrying about writing too much, even typo sef or even gramamamamamtical correctnessssssssssss.
There will be some sorta redesign to this blog and some of my blogging content will be brought here to drive some traffic and possibly some engagement.. see me talking like some marketing guru! hahahahahahahah
Anyway...getting a bit bored now as I am kinda struggling to keep my attention here as there are so many ideas buzzzzzzzzzzzzzing in my head. I get bored like that if I have so many things to do but can't do them. Yes, I get bored,,
Bye for now. But before I go:
Income sources that I am trying to make some small small change
1. Prolific.ac
2. YouGov
I want to try buying from Amazon and just selling on my own retail shop. Not drop-shipping but I have a bit of control over stock. The challenge is then how to buy products here that are labelled in English and sell into the English speaking market. The struggle is real mehn... But I will make it.
I want to try ebay affiliate too.
I want to try some other advert agency too but my ultimate is Media Vine. I hear they pay well but you must have at least some 25k sessions per month to maintain the momentum. Hmmmm how do I even do this with less cost. If I need to invest in the initial work, hmmm... I am sure there are ways people hack this thing. I will find out sooon. 25k sessions per month and maintain it. Actually the more engage readers you have the better I think in my view then the struggle is less. So what is a girl to do?
I want to try YouTube too.. just focus on the cake inspiration. Cakes are eaten every single day around the world. But I see that the market is not so much a paying one, but those that can stay loyal to you as long as they find your content relevant. So you are always chasing people. hiaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... oga gan ooooo
Need 1000 subscribers and 4000 views within the last 12 months. Getting tougher because of crooks. I refuse to join them.
Sha I will breakthrough at some point. I will.
What else do I want to try? I dont want to rely so much on affiliate sales unless I can get it myself and not dependent on all these affiliate set u companies. Their wahala is too much. too much.
Also want to pay some form of tax because it means I have contributed to the society...loooool and also means my income has increase nah...lati ojo yi??!!! We must elevate na..
I will update as the years go by and then I have brought those changes to this blog. So help me God.
Or should I make this a daily blog rather than when I feel? Maybe it will hold be more accountable.
So the aim then is to be making a full time income from working online. So let's say that will be about 100,000 dollars a year and that will be about 9k dollars a month before taxes and insurance palaver. Can I do that? loooooooooool Yes I can. Is that not what I have been hoping and dreaming of? Yes, I will pay more taxes but it is a good indicator, because you only pay taxes from what you make. If I am not worrying about how to maximise tax it means I am not making enough...sad reality. Sorry.. I studied accounting so kinda aware of this reality. hmmmm...
Also , I am looking at harnessing the power of instagram. Don't know how it actually works that much. Still having low followers sha. not suprised.
Also looking at doodliing. Why because of the issue of using other people's images without their permission. I don't know if I will be famous tomorrow and I don't want anyone suing me for no reason except ohhhhhhhhhhhh she has money now!!!!!!!!!!!! loooool ...
Also I have 1.5k followers on Pinterest. No idea how to profit from that. Most are spam account but the rest nko? How can I be of use to them? Or shall I say, sell to them. Dont know yet but I will. Abi, do I qualify for being a Pinterest Influencer? hahahahahahah
What else? Can't say for now.. But I will make it. Why so much self affirmation? I need it. full stop. lol
Okay bye bye and seriously bye bye.
