Read My Blog Success Story
Finally, I got my first Google Adsense Payment from this
blog you are reading from. How did I start blogging? I did not just decide to
open a blog just like that. Well, it was back in year 2010 when the South East
State Universities went on Six Months Compulsory strike. I was in a cyber café browsing
when I first came in contact with the word “Blog”. I did not even know about
Linda Ikeji’s Blog then. Browsing further, I said let me just open one. Then I signed
up for my first gmail account i.e nzewine@gmail.com.
I also created a blog nzewine.blogspot.com. Then After a few weeks, I applied
for Google Adsense. I was accepted. Then there were just very few blogs. I
continued blogging daily, posting about news, celebrity gist, etc
One day, I got an email that my google Adsense account has
been disabled. I was shocked but that did not stop me. I hurriedly created
another Gmail Account. Then I created this blog you are reading from. Mind you,
I was blogging from a cyber café. I kept going. After some more quality posts
on this blog, I applied for Google Adsense and I was approved. I continued
blogging from a cyber café. Then I linked the Google Adsense Ads to my old
blog, it worked. I continued deceiving myself (lol). I even got job offers from
Chizys Spyware Blog, now Glam Africa Magazine UK. But because I couldn’t keep
up with posting from a cyber café, I lost it. I also got a blogger job to post
on Charles Novia’s Blog (The Nollywood Actor and director) I ran away! (LOL)
Maybe I couldn’t handle the STARDOM! (BIG GRIN). I was told to visit him at his
office in surulere I did not go. All these happened before I went for National
Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
How Did I Keep Up With Updating The Blog?
I continued Blogging with my Nokia C1, How? I Used Mail to
Blogger to Update my blog. Sometimes I would post without pictures, Just to
make sure that I posted something for the day. Then I upgraded to
Blackberry Curve 3. You see, if you are
broke, You are Broke! After my NYSC I got a part time kinda job where I was
paid N10,000 Per Month as a Social Media Manager at Sisco Media Limited Located
in Surulere. You know as N10k take be,
No savings! But I managed to get an Android Tablet For N15,000 From Konga. I
used this android Tablet for like three years until I got a laptop. Then with
the Laptop, I used my Wi-Fi Hotspot to get internet connection until I got a
universal modem.
Sometime last year, I had gotten to the $100 Google Adsense
Treshold. I deleted two of my non – functioning blogs. Then Google Adsense
Webmasters Removed a Whooping $5.00 for Invalid Clicks! You know that feeling
when you are expecting money and all of a sudden, the money is cut short by
something. That’s how I felt. But that did not stop me. I persistently
continued blogging and got a universal modem. All these while I had never done
any form of Adverts – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc Because I was broke! I always used my last
card to buy data.
In May 2017, I got to the $100 Google Adsense Threshold
Again and waited for June 21st 2017 to get paid. When later I received
a bank Alert from my bank, I was Soooo Happy! Finally!!
I knew many other ways of making money online- Affiliate
Marketing, etc But I just decided to concentrate on this one. Not to forget
that anytime I prayed, I used my blog as a prayer point! Yes, talk to God about
your blog, your business. You Will Surely make it with Persistence, Passion and
Prayers. Other Things Become secondary!
These days I see
young girls giving themselves to men just because of money. It Shouldn’t be! I
can proudly say that no Man has given me cash (except my dad ) lol. Anytime I asked
people turn me down, so no need of asking (lolz)
So if you run a blog and you are getting tired of it, you
can take a break from it but don’t dump or forget it. I like this job because I
learn a lot from it, I Visit Whenever I want to go , I attend NEC Conference
(Nigerian Entertainment Conference) every year, The Platform, The Experience,
Social Media Week, etc . Oh! Blogging has already made me a star amongst my
peers! I also meet with fellow bloggers! Gone are the days when you have the
9-5 job Everyday slaving yourself. You can start up blogging about the products
you sell too! Your friends tell their friends and you make money. Let Me stop
here for Now
Thank You for Reading This Success Story of Mine! Your
Miracle is On the Way! Stay Blessed
