How To Monetize Your Site And Make Profitable Income As A Blogger:The best and most simplest way to make money from your blog..

One of the major reasons why people venture into online businesses and opportunities is to make money out of whatever thing they decide to do, so do bloggers. I have written an article about myself based on how my calling found me http://www.travelwithcurrent.com/2018/11/how-i-started-my-writing-career.html
and what motivated me which making money was one of my driving force. I have taken my time to read and explore some ways to monetize a site which you should know that this involves hard work and time because is not a get quick rich ordeal. A lot of consistency is needed especially when starting out from the scratch just like me which will later pay off in the long run.

As a blogger, I want to discuss some ways on how to monetize your site and make a profitable income.

(1) Affiliate Marketing.

This is one of the most common way of monetizing your site by partnering or joining affiliates like Amazon associates, Cj affiliates, commission junction, popShops.com, linksShare, share a sale, peel away Ads, Market leverage, etc to earn commissions from each sale of product or services if the buyer is coming from your site using the unique link the traces the product to your site. 

Affiliate marketing involves a lot of marketing products and services like sale of softwares, digital products ( online courses and workshop), ebooks, Tech, clothing and accessories etc.

AdSense 
     Is another way to make money tho it takes time especially when you're still building your traffic. It works with the number of traffic you drive from your site which is why you need millions of visitors in order to earn more and fast with Google AdSense.
To sign up for AdSense as a blogger you need to be active for at least six months with not less than one thousand visitors.

(2) Reviews

Writing sponsored posts and reviews about peoples websites or products and services to get paid on your blog is a way of earning extra income. This works more when you must've built your brand to an extent (big and famous) for people to request for a review on your blog.

  The payment can be a one time fee or monthly depending based on the link that tracks the traffic to your site.

(3) AD Placement

Selling space for private Ad placement on site is an extra income as a blogger. When you drive enough traffic to your site, people interested in paying for this kind of services come directly to you for request of Ad placement on your site which you can place your own suitable rates based on the content of the advert.

(4) Events

As a blogger, building your brand should be your top priority because it can lead to open doors of income opportunities when you become recognised and popular in your niche. Examples:

You could be given an appointment to speak in conferences and gathering with charges of your own rates.

Organising big events and conferences that can help you get sponsors to support you while placing a fee or tickets for your audience to attend.

You can also charge for partnership, guest posting and co author of a book etc.

(5) Marketing Tool

This is also an avenue to develop and market your own personal business on your site making it easier to convert loyal audience to potential customers. You could sell physical products and offer services like coaching, recommendations and consulting etc.

(6) sale of memberships

Another profitable option is to sell exclusive membership for users to gain access to a particular forum or site to get personalised content that is more valuable than something your visitors can subscribe for free.

(7) Donations

You can easily create your own donation box on your site where you ask your visitors to kindly donate money for your welfare or something else.

(8) Branding

The best and most simplest way to do this  for bloggers is to create and sell an online courses for your readers. When someone has been reading your article and gets value from your content it builds the trust they have for you already so creating something worth paying for, to sell directly to your audience as your brand for a sustainable income.

Below is a link to site that has softwares for creation of online courses, membership and other contents.

You mustn't try all at the same time, the most important thing is knowing what works best for you.
OK, I think I will stop here. This is all I have to pen down. You can also read more and research more on this topic or feel free to comment and put down your suggestions.

 I want to use this opportunity to inform you about my upcoming new launch of my site next month which will come with other new features and packages that reflects what is on my business plan.

Learn How To Change Your Blogger Address URL From Blogspot.com To A Custom Domain URL: Personally, I have reasons why I need to change my blogger address url to a custom domain url.

Speaking from experience, the blogger platform is a good and wonderful blogging site for fresher's interested in starting a blog. I recommend blogger for new bloggers to use as a starting point because is a lot more easier to handle, convenient, easily accessible content and cost free which is why am using it unlike other blogging site that can be a little be complicated and frustrating. People say easy navigation is the most useful website feature.

Having a blogspot blog still doesn't stop you from changing your blogger Url to a  .com address whenever you're ready to do that. Perhaps you didn't know about this, which is the more reason why you should subscribe to my blog or better still follow my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/consyadione/ to get updates about my blog.

OK, back to where I stopped. It is possible to switch your blogger blog to have a custom domain and still be posting to your blog from blogger dashboard provided you haven't deleted your blog changing only the address, i.e from www.anything.blogspot.com to www.anything.com if only you follow the required steps which am ready to share with you because I have done that myself using my own blog if you noticed. My blog was www.travelwithcurrent.blogspot.com but I have changed it now to www.travelwithcurrent.com.

Reasons why you need to change your blogger address URL. 

First, before I continue with the guidelines to follow for switching your address url, I want to give you few reasons why you should change your blogger address url to a custom domain url. There are a lot of reasons why getting your own domain is much better than a free domain. Personally, I changed mine because of branding for future purposes.

One major reason reason is to secure domain name of your choice before someone else or cyber squatters buys buys it off.
Secondly, is for branding and professionalizing for future purposes which includes other reasons.

Blogger has a CNAME setup settings for custom domains which requires two CNAME records entered in your domain name server (DNS) settings for your custom domain to work with your blogspot blog.
This sounds daunt but trust me, it is easy and you can learn it if you're willing with determination. Don't let people scare you and just forget about what people are saying about getting it wrong when you do it your self and asking you to let them do it all in the name of professionals and relieving stress.

Below is a link to a YouTube video of how to change your blogger address.
https://youtu.be/h6RpfIfreaU

Sincerely, is better off doing it yourself to be able to learn it and also teach others like the up comings or better still make money with it but you can still hire someone else to do the job for if you feel that you don't want to go through the stress, fine and good, just saying because is still your choice to make and not mine to make for you.

The Guidelines to follow for switching your address URL.

You need to get your custom domain from any registrar (web hosting site) of your choice. There are quite a lot options to consider or choose from.

 Honestly, there is always challenges, frustration or problems in finding the right hosting provider because of fear of missing out from the best so I get it if you're confused about the hosting site to use tho is all about making up your mind to buy from your choice.

I used only #5,171.54 naria only  on hostinger.com to buy my own custom domain which am still using my existing blogger free hosting for now because I only changed my site url.

You can still pay far less than what I paid on hostinger.com if you want to,depending on what you're buying which is the more reason why I recommend this site.

Go to hostinger.com

Choose your domain eg .com, .org, .store, .tech, .xyz etc

Search for your domain name in the search bar near the top of the page till you find a domain that is available, then add it to your cart and purchase it.

You will have to sign in to their site in order to get and manage your domain.

Next step is to login to your blogger account and select the blog you want to update.
Go to your settings _ Basic  under publishing
Click on +setup a 3rd party url for your blog.

Add the domain name you purchased with www.your new address url then press save.
There will be an error page that says we have not been able to verify your authority to this domain.
It means you have to go back and locate your domain name server (DNS) setting in your registrar ( hostinger.com ) and enter th CNAME given to you below it.

Add exactly the two CNAME you got from your blog blogspot setup page which differs for each blog to the column for CNAME in your domain name server (DNS) of your registrar. Example:
CNAME
Host                       points to                       TTL

www                     ghs.google.com.         1/2hrs

ou2v6ussxufc    gu_eflxyeboidexk.dv
                            .googlehosted.com.      1/2hrs
                                                                 

Next step is to add four IP adress under your A records still in your domain name server (DNS) of your registrar.

A records
Host.                  IP address.            TTL

@                    216.239.32.21         1/2hrs
@                    216.239.34.21         1/2hrs
@                    216.239.36.21         1/2hrs
@                    216.239.38.21         1/2hrs

The last step is to add your text record given to you by google for verification of ownership  through the google webmaster tool which is after you must have added the needed records above.

Effect or consequences of switching your address url.
One general effect of this change is the temporal drop in blog traffic for a while due to system redirect which also affects your page ranking. This is the more reason why you need to switch as soon as possible because the earlier you change your blog address url the better for you to start building up your page rank.

Finally, don't forget to update your old back links both internal and external with the new address url after the switch and also write regularly to improve you page ranking.

What's something you Should See Or Do At Least Once In Your Life?: The habit of being uniformly considerate towards others will bring increased happiness to you. _ Greenville Kleier.

OK, I will make this post short and precise because I will just go straight to the point and say what I have in mind.

From the heading of this post, you must have asked yourself that question consciously or unconsciously as you're reading this article tho am not surprised  because I had to think and ask myself same question before I came to this conclusion. Below are the things I feel should be done generally by every individual on earth.
These are the things one should do at least once in life:
Visit the sick and handicaps.
Visit the motherless babies home.
Visit the prisoners.

These things will help you have a rethink about your life. It will make you see life from another dimension that you've not noticed or thought about. Seriously, it will add value to life in a way and is always a reminder to be grateful about your life.

The Day I Accomplished The Most In My Life: My opinion on what I feel is the reason for not having one "Most".

Hmm, I have noticed that some people do ask this question, What's your "the day I accomplished the most in my life" what happened?
Actually someone asked me this question on Quora but I decided to bring it here on my blog to talk about it because this question got me.

I don't think I have “the day I accomplished the most in my life” because I still have a lot am working on in my life tho I also have a lot of achievements but that doesn't mean they're not worth calling the most accomplishments is just that things get better and new things keep coming.
I have a lot of achievements both relevant and those that seems irrelevant provided they're all achievements to me because those things are what encourages me to keep on working for my future, is just like my self motivation. Honestly,there is joy in working on something that gives you expected result, not minding how long it takes to get it.

One thing with life is that things come and go, human wants is insatiable which is why we keep working even when we have enough. The rich keep making dreams and goal, investments, accomplishments and keep getting rich because they never feel they have arrived which is one thing that keeps pushing them to do more.
You can take your time to think about the richest and most successful people, you will observe that they didn't stop working when they made it neither have they stopped working. I believe that you don't get rich because you're successful, you're rich because you kept working.

There is no passion to be found playing small in settling for a life that is less than the one you're capable of living._Nelson Mandela
You're never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream._ C.S.Lewis
Having the feeling of “accomplished the most” makes it seems you have arrived (gotten what you want) and it will make you relent a bit in working towards a new dream or goal.

People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing _ that's why we recommend it daily. _Zig Ziglar
People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents. _ Andrew Carnegie

Finally, all am trying to say is that there is no most accomplishments in life unless you have decided to settle with what you have but that's not the best because we need to keep growing and develop ourselves which is how is meant to be so better get up and start working for your future.
Time waits for on man.
Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely. _ Karen Kaiser Clark.

I believe that you don't get rich because you're successful, you're rich because you kept working. #selfmotivation

How Do You Improve Your Ability To Strategize When dealing With Problems: Have you handled the truth of a situation that you really never thought you would have to?

Generally, I don't think there is a guideline on how to strategize when dealing with problems but if there is then am not sure. From my own opinion,  i believe there is no particular guidelines because everyone is different and thinks differently so works for Mr A maybe not work for Mr B that's why we have to follow our intuition and apply whatever knowledge we have to solve a problem.

Three major things to consider aside intuition while dealing with a problem.

Number one is to always read to get knowledge and be informed to learn from other people's experience and strategies or how they deal with issues.
Secondly, is to work on yourself to become a better person that you want to be. Practice makes perfect as they say, practice the things you learn and know what works for you.
Thirdly, is to be conscious with our attitudes to know when and not when to act or when to talk and not when to talk depending on the problem we are dealing with and always take a deep breathe to calm your nerves before you react to a situation.

There is a simple memory of my past that always brings a smile to face which was a situation that I thought I would not handle.

This was when I almost dropped out of a school program (Pre Science) because my jamb score was lower than the cut off mark. After my secondary school, I registered for prescience which is a six months program because I didn't get admission into the university that year. 

The cut off mark for jamb is one eighty while the cut off mark for prescience is two hundred and prescience makes use of both jamb score and prescience score to give admission which means that I must reach the cut off mark or above for both jamb and prescience in order to get admission into the university. Failure to pass one means no admission through prescience from the university.

That year, I wrote jamb the first day exam started which was on a Saturday and I was supposed to travel back to school (prescience) on Sunday after my exams. The next day I was meant to travel back was the day jamb sent me a message which I read and saw one forty one as my score, oh my God, I was heartbroken, speechless, scared and confused at same time, I froze for a while with me phone thinking of what to do next.

A lot of thoughts came to mind that moment especially the thought of not getting admission and the thought of leaving school after I already paid school fees and lodge fee plus other money spent in school but I couldn't tell me parents about it, they will be disappointed and won't let me go back to school that day because they will feel is waste of time and resources to continue with a program that I won't get admission from. I said to myself, "no this is not my score, I don't believe it, there is a mistake somewhere" so I deleted the message first from my phone so that nobody else will see it, I wanted to hear other people's score to know if it was a mass failure or just me. I went back to school that day without telling my family about it tho I was tensed and bothered about the score and was praying that nobody will ask me about my jamb score. 

That period I was not myself because I was a bit depressed about the issue but I kept taking a deep breathe each time I feel anxious or tensed. When I came back to school, my lodge mates were asking me about my exams and I said," it was fine, I thank God oo, is by God's grace". Then I was having faith that miracle will happen and my score will change so anybody that asked me if I have seen my result I will say " no, that they haven't sent my own result", with faith I kept on stressing the point that they should send my own result because I believed that was not my score which I kept putting in prayers that God will change my situation.

Luckily for me, my parents didn't really disturb me about checking my result till when jamb added extra forty marks to some students which I was among them, it boosted my score to one eighty one and I was able to reach JAMB's cut off mark which i was happy and a bit relaxed because it gave me hope to continue my prescience program. When my dad called me to ask about my result, I told he that I will send my details to my elder brother to check, I didn't want to tell him the score myself because the score is very low for the course I applied for tho is still above cut off mark shaa.

My dad later called back to tell me my score and how bad my performance was, I said to myself if only they knew how low my score was, but I was moved because my dad didn't shout or overreact unlike my elder brother that was acting as if he is my real father, so he only encouraged me to sit up in order to do well in my prescience because that's my only hope of getting admission that year. 

Finally, after all these calls my mind was settled and I was relieved of the stress of letting my family to know my score tho I didn't tell them about my formal score. Ahh, at last this challenge ended, let me be free and breathe peacefully without gasping for air.

So many challenges come our way on daily basis but it all depends on how we handle the issue, there are good days and bad days which is part of life. Attitude is a little thing that makes a difference._ Winston Churchill so we should always take note of that because that's what affects our life in general.

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life... We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play in the string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it. And so it is with you... We are in charge of our attitudes._ Charles R. Swindoll

OK, to complete my story. I later passed my prescience (two hundred and thirty four) with an OK score and got admission through prescience into the university to an OK department (Parasitology and Entomology).

The truth is that, there will always be a past (yesterday), present (today) and future (tomorrow). A lot of things come and go in our lives, even the situations we think that will not end, will definitely end one day no matter how long it takes, for everything that has a beginning has an end.

That beautiful smile when you feel you're getting to your destination. Decided to take a picture in front of the new reconstructed school gate. #Unizik #Anambrastate

One Life Skill Everyone Should Have:How important and essential relationships is to life generally,especially to humans.

What comes to mind when one ask you "the one life skill that everyone should have". I believe it's a big one to answer and am sure you're having much thoughts about it now but I feel you would like to know my opinion on this first before you continue with your thoughts.
No doubt, there are a lot of skills to acquire in life and each of them are very important and necessary, that's why this question is a big one to answer but nevertheless I will still drop my take on this.

Hmm, so many things are attached to and involved with life but one of the commonest of all, that I feel is so essential is our relationships with things around us whether living or non living things. The way we connect with our environments is very important and aids to life if you think logical about this, you will definitely understand what I mean by this.
OK, coming down to humans relationships in general, communication is the real deal of everything because is a means of sending and receiving whatever information you would like to get just like am doing now. Sincerely, information is power and knowledge is too because is the information you get about life that makes one knowledgeable and superior automatically above his mates depending on the situation.

Left for me to say, I think one life skill everyone should have is to know how to read and speak at least a language which is the major ones and probably learn how to write if possible, its necessary because the three goes together especially read and write but the most important  among the three is speaking which is the fastest way to communicate that's why I chose it as the one life skill everyone should have. 

If you observe closely, the growth and development of a child, you will notice that one of the things they learn and keeps learning is relationships around them and how to adjust and fit in their environment that's why parents starts as early as communicating with their child even right from the womb first before child birth to teach and speak a language till growth and language is for easy and fast communication tho we have so many tribes and languages for identification because they need to communicate with their environment.

All these explanations is to back up my point for better understanding and to see the perspective am coming from tho there are some other things that I might have missed or didn't think about that can actually be more superior than which is why everyone keeps learning, so please do not forget to share, comment and follow my blog to rob minds to together.

Always share the knowledge you have with people around you for a better community.

Finally, I will be dropping my pen here till next time and please don't miss me too much cos I won't take long and I have a lot to talk about tho I don't really have much time because of my exams but I hope not to keep you waiting.

The Best Way To Follow Your Kids And Teach Them About Relationship, Sexuality Before Adulthood: When is it time to teach your kids about the facts of life?

Honestly, children needs parental support especially at younger ages, and parents have the primary responsibility for educating their children about their bodies and sexuality before adulthood. Am aware how uncomfortable it can be to discuss those issues and I understand that feeling, that is why is easier and better to start early while you can keep it simple.

Parents needs support and I believe that is why is included in the school system to educate children on sex education but it doesn't mean that parents shouldn't leave that only to the school because the basics should be taught to the children by their parents to show that they care and understand whatever changes that is going on their body.

Personally, I have noticed that a lot of African parents don't discuss that with their children tho not all parents shaa but mine didn't, that's why am talking out of experience and from what I have observed so far.
Neglecting this aspect of life in the family doesn't not affect some people but it still does affect some other people especially the females and this is one of reasons why am depressed sometime ago but am glad things are falling in place and am fine.

Recently, my mom started opening up to me, trying to have this conversations with me but it doesn't really make me feel better or interested because I didn't get it when I needed them the most(her support to educate me) unlike now that am matured enough to have gone through that stage(puberty and adolescent) of my life.

Most people don't know how necessary and important this education is,the impact this knowledge makes in a child's life whether boy or girl, if not it shouldn't be neglected, especially not in this present times.
This communication helps to make your children to have body confidence, knowledgeable and comfortable about sexuality while growing up.
Having an honest communication makes the parent and children's bond stronger and creates a comfortable atmosphere that makes the children to trust and confide in their parents,and this helps in avoiding misinformation from peers and social media because they check out with their parents.  (This is the major reason, ignorance is a disease neither it's an excuse)

When Is It Time To Teach Your Kids About The Facts Of Life?

          Travel With Current

Personal blog. To Read More Visit http://www.travelwithcurrent.blogspot.com

A lot of people are scared and confused about what and what not to teach their children at a particular age or stage of their life. Am fully aware of how necessary it is to be careful of what your children learn at their tender age because that is what they will grow with or turn out to become later in life if they weren’t changed.

Most people ask this question, “How do you know when it’s time to teach your kids about the facts of life?” From what I witnessed and observed in the society, I don’t think there is any perfect time to teach your kids about the facts of life, especially the vital things which is their Spiritual life(religion and moral values) social life( love life,society, family and friends)  and financial life(career, profession), they all need to balanced and not deficient in one.

I believe the best way is just to follow your kids according to their age and what they know in order to correct and teach them what you want them to know about life and this involves free communication with your kids. And if you don’t create that atmosphere for discussion or avoid letting them know your opinion on whatever topic because you feel is not necessary then you’re giving room for peer influence and some other things.  Teach a child to choose the right path,and when he is older he will remain upon it proverb 22:6. Even the bible recognises this fact of nurturing a child tenderly because that’s when a child’s attitudes and characters are shaped.

Honestly am not surprised to hear someone say, ” am not ready to be a parent yet or am scared of what my children will become in future “and so many other comments because is not easy to nurture a child without trying to make decisions you feel that are best for your child in order to avoid making mistakes about your child’s life that she will regret and blame you later in future. For example, I noticed that most parents don’t teach their children about sex education because they feel they don’t want to spoil their children so they are not comfortable discussing that, but the truth still remains that it is necessary to avoid wrong perceptions. Obviously, whether you teach them or not they will get to know about that somewhere else or somebody else, and I feel is better they get that knowledge from their parents earlier in life for them to be careful than making mistakes act of ignorance.

The link below is one of article in my blog about virtue and virginity.http://travelwithcurrent.blogspot.com/2018/11/virtue-weighs-more-than-virginity.html

Finally, i don’t have much to say neither do i want to keep writing or bore you with words  because i feel this article is clear and concise. Am ending this article with my last comment,”keep teaching and keep learning, it never ends.”

My Business Plan 2019: One of the most important documents of any business and it's benefits.

Virtually every entrepreneur's business vision needs a clear and detailed business plan because having a good idea is not just enough without penning it down to shape your ideas for easy formulation and execution.
Once you decides to make the commitment to start up a business of your choice and of any kind, the next thing in mind is to plan and draft out a business plan of whatever you intend doing. Lack of proper planning and implementation is one of the most reasons why some business fail.

As it's said, failure to plan is planning to fail.

Having a well documented and strategic business plan that defines and focuses on your business ideas should be the first aim of any organization, company or entrepreneur because that is one of the most important documents that directs and leads the business in implementing the strategic plan to make your business idea work, it also speaks and represents the business.

There are benefits of having a  well documented and strategic business plan as an entrepreneur which i mentioned a few earlier. Business plans are mostly written to obtain additional funds whether to raise money for business by securing investors or capitals from financial institutions.
Having a plan helps you recognise some pitfalls or mistakes in your business which calls for amendments.
It's also a way of convincing yourself and other people how serious and determined you're with to take off with this business.

Honestly, creating a business plan involves a lot of thought and time to put things together. Some many things are considered like what you actually wants to do,what you want to accomplish and your aim or goals of achieving this depending on the kind of business you're venturing into.
 There should be short term and long term goals for a start tho the plan can be amended with time.

I first wrote my business plan early this year when I participated in one online giveaway(360mobile.com) on Instagram that I was scammed because it was one of the requirements needed that was why I wrote my business plan. I have a blog already before then, but I didn't see it of any importance to have a business plan till that giveaway tho my financial plan wasn't really detailed in the plan because it was based on the giveaway.

Below is the PDF file of my business plan.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1J3J-o6juwBWlrBU4XqFMtdWD-XDSsxIJ/view?usp=drivesdk


Finally, am only advising business owners and up coming entrepreneurs to have a business plan because it helps especially for beginners in directing and focusing on their ideas which can later be adjusted with time in the plan for improvement and a better results.

The Escape Route To The Top: what is your way out to be successful in life.

I didn't have it in mind to write this post but thank God, visiting my lovely brother yesterday was not in vain. This post title is actually his words that I put together from the talk he gave me tho he was actually giving me advice that turned to be lecture.

Am glad I grabbed few things from my brother yesterday and that's what I want to share with you.
There is a big question mark on a lot of peoples mind if not virtually everyone. From the way the world is moving and changing, people tend to look for an escape route to fit in the society while most people ask "what is the way out?", some are searching for answers and solutions to this big question.

Everybody's destiny and calling is not the same that's why we have different careers in life. Due to high search of a way out, people follow different kinds of escape route, which I will list out below.
Education
Talent

Take time to look at the life of some successful people or even the richest men in the world, you will observe that there is no specific route to success. Some made it through education, some talents or business in order words am trying to say that, this is a fight you fight for yourself by searching and find the solution to your own route.
If the other doesn't favour you then try another because that might be your way out of poverty, being distinguished is the fight to the top.
From the way the society is operating presently, I believe is all about what you can offer to the society positively that will distinguish you from others.

Coming down to my country on this particular issue, I feel entrepreneur is the major thing on point. Building your own source of income whether through skill acquisition, talent, business, making use of opportunities online just like am doing out through your educational career, whichever one you use but the most important thing is finding a way out.

Finally, the question still stands for you to ask yourself "what is the way forward?" One thing is knowing your problem and the other is finding a solution to it, so the next thing on your mind should be how to make use this information to empower yourself.

The Major Things I Don't Understand: my thoughts and feelings about my day is a story.

I just don't understand why some things are difficult to comprehend, some things are so complicated, contradicted and mysterious.
Life in general.
Existence of the world and life after death.
Mystery of God.
These are the major things I don't understand, I keep asking myself some questions that are not answered. I was just thinking about different things especially how life can favour some people and don't to some people.

Yesterday I went to a hospital with my friend to submit my application for my industrial training tho my friend accompanied me to check up on hers because she submitted her own last year November. I was surprised today when I received a call from the hospital to come to their office on Friday but they didn't call my friend that submitted since so my friend had to call them to complain after I told her I got a call and she was also told to come that day tho not the same time as mine.
Anyways that's life for you, similar things like this happen on a daily basis is just by God's grace.

Am so stressed out today in school with a lot on my mind. Hmm, just imagining how my day will be tomorrow. I wonder how I will cope with this stress without breaking down. I believe things will get better for me because his grace got me.

My No Reminder List:Something that I am needed to be told once and I will always remember it.

Most times we tend to forget some things we are told to, and I believe is because we don't have that in mind due to interest, and the funny thing is that there are some things we don't need to be reminded of because we won't forget. For instance I will use money as an example, is general. You don't need to be reminded that someone is owing you a huge amount of money and you don't need to be reminded to come and collect your money.

Seriously, this happens to virtually everyone no matter how occupied your brain is that makes you forget things, there will always be some or few things you don't need to be reminded of because you won't forget.
Something that I  am needed to be told once and I will always remember it.

Whenever someone, whether family or friends says, to give me money, gifts and food. Seriously, I don't need to be remembered about it because I won't forget it.

Whenever am given an exam or I have a quiz in school, I will always remember to do that once am told because is about school and it's very important to me.

I like discussion and gist ehh so I don't forget when someone says I will gist you about something that happened. Ahh, I will remember it because I like story.

OK, I don't want to think a lot on this that's why I wrote only the ones I remembered. The next question should be, have you asked yourself why is these like that? Is because of the kind of interest and value we have for a particular thing.
You might think it doesn't happen to you because I didn't mention something that is actually your " no reminder"and I understand that, am aware this is not well detailed and besides I can't mention everything in case if you're not in money category tho is rare shaa.

Finally, if you're sincere and observant to yourself you will see you must've noticed something of this kind before about your memory or if you've not noticed this then begin to be conscious of your memory you will get what I mean about this post.

Saving my memories here.

My Sincere Advice To My Fellow Nigerian Youths:To before warned is to before harmed to avoid regrets of if I had known

That Moment When I Feel I Have Nothing To Write But Am Grateful To God That The Inspiration Came.
Honestly, this article is a must read to every young students coming up especially those that are already done with their secondary school education about to enter University so that they won't spend too much of their time and resources writing jamb so many times just to enter university.

When a person retires and loses their purpose, what advice can really help them to regain that lost zest for life?

You just said “retires”, meaning the person actually achieved something in life, I believe retirement is when someone is old enough and has worked for a very long period of time in a particular job , so what am saying is that the person didn't lose his purpose because he/she worked and achieved something all those years spent in working.
From my opinion, I think the person didn't plan well or think about his/her next step in life after retirement that's why is difficult to pick up after retirement so is making things seem like he/she has lost zest for life.

My advice is to calm down first to think about what happened during his working years to recognise his/her achievements in life so far. This will help in self satisfaction and motivation to do more or to find something useful in order to keep up with life.
Then after that without much thought, ideas of what to do will come, there will be inspiration of what to do next with life after retirement.
Opinions are really welcomed and needed on this particular topic, so please do not forget to comment below.

This question is from my Quora profile and the answer is mine own opinion but I decided to bring it up because I want to add something from my story.
I want to link the lost of zest for life to my story.

Sometimes I tell my friends in school that i want to drop out from school because am so tired of schooling tho I still say it but I don't have the mind to actually do that. Thinking about throwing away the other years I have spent, the money spent and the stress undergone without getting a certificate is not worth while for dropping without a tangible reason plus disappointing my family and fiends, so I can't do that.
Sincerely, sometimes I lose the zeal to study because of the way the system is. The motivation I had before I entered school and now is not the same, it has depreciated just that am only helping myself by trying to encourage myself in anyway I can.

Today I was asking my friend about his roommate and he told me he said he wants to drop out from school. I wasn't happy with that respond so i asked why, he said his roommate is tired of schooling so I was like he should manage and finish up to get his get his certificate even if his doing business at least is remaining a year and few months. He said he told him about it when he asked him and he said, he will try at least he will write his exams but he might not attend class.

I said to myself after the call, am not the only that feels that way if not eighty percent of Nigerian students. Seriously, school is kind of frustrating in Nigeria, I don't blame those that say school is a scam because there is no job after schooling.
From the way things are and the economy of my country I see school as waste of money tho is not meant to be that way but it is in my country.

Left for me, I will advice someone not to go Nigeria's University at all rather you use your money to start a lucrative business and then apply for an online course of your choice that you can buy the certificate after the course of study unless your family is rich to sponsor you both during your period of study and after your study to help you find something doing.
I know this is sounding off or awkward to you for me to say not to go to Nigeria's university at all but that's the truth because the economy is bad. There are a lot of graduates yet no suitable job and most of them still end up going back to join business after graduating which is just like starting afresh so what's the difference.

Imagine, not long ago Nigerian Universities went on strike for six months if not more than. Keeping their students at home without minding our educational career because they were wasting our time of study, now school has resumed I wonder how they will rush us to meet up with the calendar that's to tell you how frustrating school is so I don't blame Students when they say they want to drop out, but that's not an option either. Is not wise at all to drop out when you have started unless you're doing that for other reasons best known to you.

I don't need to keep writing because is not something I need to waste my writing ink on because is obvious and I believe every other person in Nigeria whether student or not is aware of this and is a problem. Most people study just to have the certificate for future purpose and not because they want to practice. This also explains why people don't practice in their field of study.

Finally, am not trying to poison anybody's mind about education because is important and I value it personally if not I wouldn't be in school by now but am only expressing myself about bitter truth of my country's education.

Abeg, I really need the business proposal to help my life cos I have tire for school or I need scholarship to study abroad.

The Biggest Challenge In Blogging: My challenges so far in writing as a personal blogger.

There are a lot of challenges in life that we face regularly. In every venture we start in our life we will always have a challenge we have faced that is either overcame or not. The challenges differs and comes in different ways whether relevant or insignificant.

The challenges am talking about here is specifically on my blogging career and not on my life generally.
First, I will start by talking about the biggest challenge in blogging that affects bloggers of every niche, which is getting traffic.
Driving traffic to a blog or website is one major thing a blogger looks forward to, and great traffic determines how successful you're in blogging. I believe that's why every other person is fighting to make it through because is also a means of making money.
The scaring thing about blogging presently is the competition, so many blogs of different niche are on internet already and more are yet to be created,that's why generating traffic is difficult. I hope new bloggers understands this so that they won't give up easily rather they will keep pushing and being strategic to help them grow.

Sincerely, I recommend reading other articles of different topics especially on blogging for anybody even if you've made it or not, it will help you build and maintain your traffic. Learn new strategies and tips on blogging or keep refreshing your ideas and memory.

A part from the first on list that I call the biggest challenge in blogging which is general, the next should be content.
This second challenge doesn't really affect all bloggers, especially bloggers of whatever news and entertainment, fashion, car, technology etc because they don't really need to create the content themselves. Something like news, things happen everyday for you to write on is just the stress of keeping up to date with fresh content which is a challenge on their own side.
Talking about content challenge, is more on creative bloggers like  personal blogs, lifestyle, fiction blog etc. Seriously, nothing in this life is easy at all. Even those ones you feel that are less stressful also has it's own stress in a way. The stress of putting my ideas together to create a quality content with enticing title and not just anyhow post is a challenge because I have to be consistent to keep up with my audience and also grow and maintain my traffic.

Honestly, sometimes I feel like there is nothing left to write, I have ran out of ideas, stories and whatever, I know some other person feels the same way that's why some people are not consistent with their writing and some end up giving up on the way.

These two challenges are the major challenges i have noticed so far in blogging tho there are other ones but they all boils down to these two.

That look on my face, when you spot your problem and recognise the solution.

I wish you a Happy Sunday...

My Highest Expectations For Myself: Some reasons to live besides for your family and friends.

Everyone has dreams and expectations for themselves, if not on a daily basis tho there are some that are long desired dreams. Change is constant, things change with time so do our expectations change too, so asking for my highest expectations is something I can't really say because I don't think I actually have highest expectations but generally, I want to be successful in life and I know that's what any other human being will want both in their career and their profession.

When and why should one put their career as their utmost to priority? I think that should be when you're done with school, any training and program or if you didn't attend any then, the next thing is to start your career. This is meant to be your utmost top priority because career kind of controls any other thing in your life whether you made it or not, that's your source of living.
By estimation, let me say that seventy percent of people in Nigeria don't practice their profession rather they find themselves in one career or other. Some people might not get what am saying because they are not even aware of the difference between career and profession, the words are similar in meaning and are used interchangeably. The profession undertaken by a person will be based on his education and the training imparted, but a person's career depends on his/her ambition in life, just like am studying parasitology and Entomology in school as a profession and also blogging and writing as a career.

Dictionary meaning of profession and career by Oxford advanced learner's dictionary.

Profession: A type of job that needs special training or skill, especially one that needs a high level of education. eg Medical/Legal/Teaching.

Career: The series of jobs that a person has in a particular area of work, usually involving more responsibility as time passes. (2) The period of time that you spend in your life working or doing a particular thing.

To an extent, this explains why so many people wants to become famous in their various field. I believe anything that has advantage also have disadvantage tho we have to learn how to manage the two.
Looking at this, I think being famous has more advantage to it. A lot is attached to being famous that is why so many people wants to become famous.

Some reasons to live besides for my family and friends is to achieve my purpose in life which is very important and I pray that the will of God will manifest in my life.
I want to leave a great legacy behind in this world before leaving. A role model to other people in the world and not just my country, by getting to achieve something great and unique. This is my life long ambition and expectations and I hope you get motivated by my personal ambition.

Finally, I will be ending with a question for you to ponder on and comment what you think, which I will also give my own opinion below the question.
Do you define yourself by your job or other things?
No, not all. I define myself by who I am( my personality )and not my job because is just my career tho is part of who I am, since I choose the job myself.

Me and my lovely sister. Family love and vibes.

My purpose and will of God will, I am praying for.

What Is Like To Be Scammed: This is a story of what happened to me early this year.

My day was just there today, nothing much happened shaa, accept that the weather is cool and cloudy like it wants to rain, I don't know if you're feeling the same with me because today is not looking like Monday to me, maybe is because of the weather and the tension of the awaiting concluded elections.

I have a story to tell today about what happened to me early this year in the month of January and something reminded me of  it today tho I have forgotten about it because is so annoying and painful.

My mom sent me to bank today, to pay in money for my brother in first bank. When I entered there it reminded of the first day I came there to pay in money for delivery because that was my first time going to that first bank branch and today made it the second time. Honestly, it was a flash back for me, how I entered there, filled a deposit slip, went to the counter and paid. Standing over the counter today in front of the man that attended to me that day i came reminded of this story. 

I participated in a give away program on Instagram and I thank God that some of my friends are witnesses to this story because they were the reason why I had to screenshot this photo while I was trying to let them know about the give away by sending them the photos, so they can join me and participate. Am happy that I actually involved my friends not because I knew this would happen, but I was trying to help and that's what friends do.

The pictures below explains everything about the give away if you read so I don't really need to write it down here.

OK, the scam story starts from when I requested for a delivery and paid the delivery fee which I sent a proof of payment, delivery address and a reachable phone number. They (360mobile) said they will call me the day they will send the package to notify me. Sincerely, till today I have not received any call from them and the month is almost ending. I tried calling the number on their page but it wasn't reachable till today but it was available during the give away, because I called them using that line the day they sent me that message. The funny thing is that, the two people (a boy and a girl) that won the prize deleted their account on Instagram because I can't find them again unlike when I searched their profile the time they announced the winners. 

Two accounts (main_page_under_maintenance and 360 _mobile_giveaway) was used for the give away which they said they will delete one ( 360_mobile_giveaway) after the give away because it was only meant for the give away, but they deleted the two account without sending me the package or returning my money and that was the reason why I wasn't able to get the rest of the screenshot when I remembered but thank God I still kept my teller because that's my evidence of payment tho it might not be clear shaa, you can check the date of payment to see that I paid when the package was still valid.

 I have tried convincing myself that this is not a scam while I waited for their call but I can't wait forever because is clear and obvious that is a scam judging from my story and my evidence. This is not fair at all, after all the stress of putting my ideas together and my data for participating and all I get is a heart break of scattered dreams that I had to deal with for days, coupled with the tension of being asked "how far the package" from my family and friends because they were aware of the package and my mom was actually the person that gave me money to pay for the delivery. I couldn't even tell my family that it was a scam because I was advised not to pay that it might be a scam or maybe I can try If I decides to and now this people have cleared their doubt that they are really scammers. I tried searching for their new website that was meant to be launched this month but I couldn't find it because they didn't even tell us the name of the website or the link to the website.

I don't know who to blame, whether I should blame myself for trying to make use of my time and opportunities as a student or should I blame the company for letting down their reputation and security systems, I don't even know sef, whichever one. I understand that some people might be thinking that the money is too small for me to be making a big deal about it but I don't mind. I can't bear to see my motivation fade out while am still at it.

Seriously, I can't believe my eyes that I have been scammed for the first time in my life, just that the only good thing about the participation is that, it made me compile my business plan from my ideas.

Finally, this company should look into this case of impersonation or whatever it is, because I still want my package or my money and I hope not to give up on this so please, read and share to get my case looked into.
