WHY YOU NEED TO START A BLOG

Until recently, I didn’t know the difference between a website and a weblog, didn’t even know anyone could blog for free,

WHATS A BLOG?
 Let’s consider the following definitions from notable sources

1. Wikipedia
‘A blog is a website in which items are posted on a regular basis and displayed in reverse chronological order. The term blog is a shortened form of weblog or web log. Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Individual articles on a blog are called “blog posts,” “posts” or “entries”. A person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”. A blog comprises text, hypertext, images, and links (to other web pages and to video, audio and other files). Blogs use a conversational style of documentation. Often blogs focus on a particular “area of interest”, such as Washington, D.C.’s political goings-on. Some blogs discuss personal experiences.’ Source.

2. Matisse’s Glossary of Internet terms:
‘A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is “blogging” and someone who keeps a blog is a “blogger.” Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog. Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in chronological order with the most recent additions featured most prominently.’ Source

3. ‘A weblog is a hierarchy of text, images, media objects and data, arranged chronologically, that can be viewed in an HTML browser.’ Source


I call it a personal online journal or diary, free and open to the public, where you can share your thoughts,ideas,opinions,knowledge or information about anything. It’s the best place to express your freedom of expression.

REASONS TO BLOG        

1.     Its free and easy.
Creating a blog and blogging is completely free and easy you don’t need to be a web designer or have knowledge of HTML codes to create a free blog.
Most free blogs, blogger() for instance has tools to help you come up with good designs and express your creativity, all you need is to know how()
Posts are arranged in chronological order, with old posts stored at archives for easy reference                                                                          

    2.   Make an impact
With blogging you can contribute to the lives of others by making information available to persons who need them.
 If you’re good at something, a professional in any field, a researcher or you are knowledgeable about a particular field, you can set up a blog to help others with solutions by just teaching or sharing your experiences.
Anything is worth writing on, from health, job vacancies, entertainment, internet solutions etc

3.Self development
Constant blogging unconsciously drives you to excellence,you get better at it,improve on your writing skills,minimize your spelling and grammatical errors.

4.Super fun and versatility
Its fun to write on areas you’re interested in with the freedom to express yourself the best way you can,and actually have people appreciate and benefit from it;doesn’t matter what topic it is, at least its not some boring term paper or compulsory speech or report 
 Reading and following other blogs also expose you to other interesting topics in different areas,you become versed in many areas.

5. Fame and Networking.
With a good content and good traffic, you become search engine friendly, people will want to visit your blog again and again. Blogging is a road to fame.
It’s also a great way to build relationships and networks with your readers and other bloggers.

6.Expand and promote your business
A blog can serve as an online shop where you display your goods and services and let others know about your business.
It’s a great way to promote your business  and attract clients/sales from any part of the world. Its makes your business unique and gives you a competitive edge.

7. Make money
Blogging can fetch you tons of cash if you if you have the right information and passion to succeed in it.

There are over 200 free blogsites on the web eg Blogger,wordpress,Myspace,Myopera,Xanga,livejournal,tumblr,Edublogs,Bloghub etc, you can click on any of them to create one.
They are free and easy to use,fully customized and mobile friendly, esp myopera and blogger.

PAYMENT DETAILS
For persons yet to pay, you can pay your 1dollarbuzz membership fees by sms, mobile transfers or bank deposits.
There are basically two options for persons residing in Nigeria:
1.     Local pay
2.     Jungle pay  
However the following payment processors are accepted for foreign participants: libertyreserve, payza and paypal.
LOCAL PAY
You can deposit the sum of #200 0r #900 as the case may be in any of the following banks:
FIRST BANK
Ac No: 2020066150
Ac Name: 1dollarbuzz Enterprise

GUARANTY TRUST BANK
Ac No: 0113729756
Ac Name: 1dollarbuzz Enterprise
After payment, wait some hours after bank closes and activate with your teller no at the site. Simply login, click on the local pay icon, enter your teller no. and submit.
NOTE: FIRST BANK PROCEDURE
Its been noticed that the cashiers don’t upload teller numbers,the best way to ensure that your teller numbers are entered in online banking by the cashier at the bank. When you are completing your deposit/teller slip, make sure you enter your teller number after your name. If you are making a bulk payment then write your name, payment memo followed by teller number in bracket ().

Finally, all Fist Bank teller numbers will start with "FB". Please add FB in front of your numbers to activate it on our website

Single Deposit Example:
When completing your teller slip at the bank, if your name is John Doe and the teller slip you selected to complete has a teller number 123456. When you fill out the slip to give the cashier, you write in the name section as "John Doe (123456)" or "John (123456)" or "Doe (123456)".
By doing this, the cashier will have no choice but to enter the teller number on the bank online system. Also to be sure, make sure after completion that you tell the cashier to enter your teller number on the system.
Finally, when activating this teller number on 1dollarbuzz, you write FB123456

BULK Deposit Example:
When completing your teller slip at the bank for bulk payments for 5 people under $1 option (=N= 200 per person), if your name is John Doe and the teller slip you selected to complete has a teller number 987654. When you fill out the slip to give the cashier, you write in the name section as "John 1MEMO(987654)" or "Doe 1MEMO(987654)".
By doing this, the cashier will have no choice but to enter the teller number on the bank online system. Finally, when activating this teller number on 1dollarbuzz, you write FB987654A, FB987654B, FB987654C, FB987654D and FB987654E.

HOW TO MARKET YOUR REFERRAL LINKS

Now that you’ve registered and paid your fees, you might be wondering, what next?
 How do I get people to sign up under me?
 How do I get referrals?
 The question you’re asking is how do I market my links?

First consider these questions
1.     what I'm I marketing?
2.     why do I have to market it?
3.     how do they my (referrals)  benefit?

4.     what will I benefit?

If u can answer these questions properly, and you’re convinced about your answers, then you can  confidently tell your friends and anyone about it.

TIPS
Know your product, about1dollarbuzz,how itworks, faqs,payment details, prizes,

Everyone wants to make money doing little or nothing, even while they sleep, that’s the truth whether they admit it or not, and that’s what 1dollarbuzz is all about.

Having money work for you rather than slave for it but first you need to first set up a structure to make it possible, you need a network, and by network you need downlines.

There are basically 2 ways you can market 1dollarbuzz; they are offline and online.

OFFLINE
These refer to activities outside the internet, could be word of mouth, seminars,fliers,television, newspapers and radio adverts etc, if you're taking this approach, ensure they can have functional emails and properly register on the site under your option and with your username and id, remember username is case sensitive.

ONLINE
I believe this is an easier way since it has a wider coverage and persons can easily relate to what you are talking about.

1. Facebook wall, comments,photos and notes.
You can post ads on them or just use your link as a signature after any comment or post on a photo you upload

2. Facebook groups and fanpages; you can post on groups you belong to or pages you like/visit.Their are several fanpages, MTNLoadedNG for instance has over 600,000 fans.

3.Online forums and social networking mobile applications
You can post your ads in forums you belong to,simply register eg nairaland, guruscliq, webanswers etc; mobile chat apps like 2go,watsapp, bbchat etc are also good places to reach out to people.

4.Weblogs and websites
You can create a site or create a free blog to  widen your coverage and fully explain how it works. If you want to learn how blog, click here for free tutorials.

You have something good to share, don’t withhold information that can lift someone from a state of lack to abundance.

HOW TO SHORTEN A LINK
Some asked me recently; ‘Sandra, how come our links are different from others? It looks weird!’, and I laughed. Actually I was on the move and needed to send her 2 links via 2go,couldn’t copy and paste.
Here’s what I needed to send: 

1.
https://www.1dollarbuzz.com/register.php?inviter=Mosandy&cost=1&cr=NGN

2.   https://1dollarbuzz.com/docs/Builiding%20Your%201dollarbuzz%20business%20Volume%201.pdf
I sent these instead,
1.           http://zapit.nu/1buzz
2.          http://zapit.nu/Ebook
 That’s what brought about the question,she wanted to know how I did it.
If you’re reading this ,you’re probably curious too,I once asked that question too.
Knowing  the right question is sometimes 30% of the answer.
The question is how do I shorten a link?
Well, its very easy;piece of cake infact!
There are several sites that render this service for free
Tinyurl. for example has been around since January 2002, others are goo.gl, bitly, notlong, tweetl for twitter links, zapit. etc
Some keep statistics on number of clicks you get on the shortened links and allow you customize your links e.g zapit.nu
Simply visit any of the above sites;you can search for others ,copy and paste your links on the field provided and click on shorten or customize it and shorten as the case may be.
That’s it, and that snaky long link becomes short enough for you to type by heart.
