Blogger Post Options - Blog Post Scheduling feature

One hallmark of successful blogs is freshness. Each time a regular visitor visits a blog site they usually expect to see something new. The easiest way to fail in blogging is to post once a month. Hence, serious bloggers usually add new content to their blogs regularly. However, you do not need to be online each time you want to publish on your blog. You can write all the blog postings you intend to publish for a week at once, and then use a blog scheduling feature like that found in Blogger to schedule when each blog posting should be published.

Blog scheduling makes publishing your Blog posting very easy and convenient. It can come handy if you are travelling and will not be able to publish. You can also use it to manage your time properly. Simply write all new blog posts at the same time and schedule when you want them published and be free to do other things like keyword analysis and reading your emails.

Blog scheduling feature will also enable you reschedule your blog posts. Lets say that you have already schedule a post to be published today and their a very urgent blog post you need to publish today, assuming you have a policy of not publishing more than one blog posts in a day, you can reschedule today’s post to a more convenient time while you publish the urgent blog.

Monetisation key driver of Content Publishing Business

Human wants is a key driver of the content publishing business. One human want that has contributed more to the growth in the content business than any other, is the possibility of making money or monetisation. Let us face it; the content business will not be a business if no one knows how money can be made from it. No matter how much internet access and internet search grows their will be no business for web publishers if they cannot figure out how they will make money or at least pay their bills from their content.

While the objective of a content publisher is to satisfy human wants, his motivation is to make money. Successful content publishers are those who can marry the two together. They do not allow one to become more important than the other. Satisfying your customers should not override monetisation and monetisation should not override satisfying your customers.

For example if your content business fails as a result of over looking monetisation your visitors will simply move on to other content publishers who can satisfy them, while you gnash your teeth. In the same vein if you loose your visitors because you ignore their needs your content business will fail as well. Note that monetisation is your reward for satisfying your customers.

The internet would not have been as rich with content as it is today if not for monetisation. Monetisation has motivated thousands of people all over the world to publish content online. Monetisation has also made it possible for a number of services on the internet to be free. Contents can be published free today thanks to monetisation.

One way that content publishers monetise their website, is via advertising. One simple way to advertise on a website is via Google Adsense. A content publisher may also sell local advertising space or market for affiliate programs. A content publisher may promote his own skills online using his website or blog.

Therefore, while your work as a content publisher is to publish content your reward is monetisation.

Online Jobs Nigeria Internet Opportunities

Online jobs are jobs that can be done on the internet. Online jobs are done using computers and mobile devices connected to the internet. The increase in internet accessibility and affordability have resulted in many opportunities on the internet.

There are a number of ways that people make honest and legitimate living on the internet. The fact is that any job that can be done with a computer can be automated online. There are also online work marketplace where skilled people can be employed to do online jobs.

Online jobs can be done from any location, but there are a number of factors that might exclude people from some regions. Here you will find guide on the type of online jobs that can be done in Nigeria.

First lets look at factors to consider when thinking online jobs.

Does the Online Jobs Provider Support Nigeria


When using an online jobs platform also make sure that the platform supports Nigeria. Do not register under another country, as you may not be able to receive your money. If an online jobs platform does not support Nigeria, look for one that does.

For example, Clickbank does not support Nigeria, so you can not use the internet opportunity in Nigeria. Although there are people/services that claim they can help you use Clickbank from Nigeria, but this usually involves giving confidential information to a third party not answerable to you. This is an easy way for fraudsters to steal your identity and your hard earned money.

Payment method for Online Jobs


One factor to consider when selecting online jobs is to be clear on how you will collect your money. There is no point working if you cannot collect your money. The easiest way to receive international payments for online jobs in Nigeria is via US Dollar (USD) denominated cheques. You will need a USD domiciliary account to cash USD checks. Pounds Sterling and Euro denominated cheques are also easy to cash.

Other payment options for receiving earnings for your online jobs include Liberty Reserve, Bank Wire, MoneyGram, Western Union, and Direct bank deposit.

If you are using a platform with a standard means of payment, make sure that their payment means can be supported in Nigeria. Avoid online opportunities that pay only with payment methods not supported in Nigeria like PayPal. Although there are hacks, but hacks are never reliable and are very risky.

If you are rendering a service for someone online, ask for your payment via supported electronic payment means Liberty Reserve, western union, moneygram, or cash (if the client is in Nigeria).

Reliable Internet Access & Computer


Online jobs are done on the internet so you should not be surprised about needing a reliable internet access. You also require computer, not a mobile phone. If all you have a feature phone like all those tiny screen phones running Opera Mini, forget online jobs for now.

You need a computer running Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or later to be effective at online jobs. You can use a cyber cafe but there are always some limitations with them.

Reliable Power Supply


Like with internet access, you also need a reliable power supply. As you know PHCN is useless so you cannot count on them. So, if you plan venturing into the online jobs industry, make sure you provide a reliable power source like generator, inverter, and solar power systems.

Online Jobs for Nigeria

Google key driver of content publishing Business

One company that have perhaps contributed more than any other company in the growth of the content business is Google. Google is behind the growth in user-generated content on the internet today. It seems that the content business will not have been as popular as it is today without Google. Any serious web publisher must watch Google closely as they are a key driver of the content business.

Google’s big step


One great step that Google took at the onset to promote content business, was to separate her search business from her advertising business. This meant that one could not buy higher ranking on Google search. As a result of this, an ordinary person can start publishing content and with some dedication and learning can rank on top of Google in very important keywords without paying a dime to Google.

Some search engines charge money for top ranking on search. This means that by paying money you can rank high on any keyword you choose. This also implies that advertisers with deep pockets can dominate any keywords they want leaving the rest of us behind.

Google’s separation of advertising from search made SEO an all comers affair and democratised search ranking. The possibility that anybody can rank high on Google motivated lots of people to publish content on Google and soon made Google the most popular search engine in the world. This has led to the richness and variety on the internet today and has made the content business a very lucrative venture.

Google supports easy and free publishing


The huge rise in user-generated content is largely because of the ease with which content can be published online. Today all you need is content and you are ready to publish online. Google promotes a number of tools that make web publishing very easy. Google is behind Blogger.com, which makes it easy for anyone to publish text, pictures and videos on the internet and Youtube, which makes video publishing a breeze. These web-publishing services are free with easy to use internet publishing interface. Easy and free publishing has attracted many people to publish contents online.

Google made advertising and making money easy


Thanks to Google Adwords and Google Adsense, content publishers can now make money from their content. While Adwords target advertisers and makes advertising online easy, Adsense targets web publishers and make attracting advertising revenue easy. The possibility of making money online has motivated a number of people to publish content online. Of course, the content business will not be a business without the possibility of making money. Advertisers go to Adwords create Ads and pay each time their Ad is clicked on Google network, Adsense display Adwords Ads on websites of registered web publishers. In order words, Adsense Ads that appear on web publishers Ads are Adwords Ads created by Advertisers.

Google has the best webmaster tools


Google have also created easy to use tools to help web publishers manage their website. Google Webmaster Central provides publishers with an easy to use interface for registering and maintaining a website. It provides great deal of information relevant to web publishers. For me Google webmaster tool is the best webmaster tool online, providing all features and information to put web publishers in control.

Google also provide other tools for web publishers like Google Analytics, which provides web publishers with information about their website traffic and Google Insights a tool for keyword analysis.

People also need data-like contents like available job vacancies, prices of products and services, hotel locations, stock market prices and so on.

As a content publisher, you must monitor trends in your industry and anticipate trends that may emerge as a result. You should provide contents targeted at satisfying such wants. Lets say Nokia just launched a new mobile phone some wants that may emerge include information about prices, specs, reviews, and shops for that mobile phone. Your job immediately you hear about this new development (trend) is to provide contents targeted at satisfying these anticipated wants.

You will get information on new trends and wants from mainstream Media, like newspapers, magazines, journals, TV, radio and so on. Read newspapers, journals and magazines that focus on the subject you publish contents on. You should also tune in to radio and TV programmes related to your industry.
