WHY DID LINDAIKEJI'S BLOG OUTPERFORMED FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, TWITTER, NAIRALAND?

This post is to arm new and existing entrepreneurs with the info necessary to achieve business success. I started a manufacturing business (Rocapy Anti stretchmark SOAP, www.rocapy.com) sometimes last year 2014 and with the success and experiences that comes with that need not be kept to myself because the success of one is the success of all.

When it comes to succeeding in business, you can't do without marketing and as it stands today, social media marketing has taken over all other forms of marketing you are familiar with. There's a science behind online marketing you need to understand to get result.

If you own a business here in Nigeria and want to get result for your hard earned money consider the following:

NAIRALAND

I started with Nairaland because you don't need money to put your product before it's members, all you need ideas ENGAGEMENT.

Engage Nairalanders, its the most visited site in Nigeria after Facebook, Google, Yahoo. Obey the rules and regulations guiding the platform and your business will be on the rise.

Another reason you need to be on Nairaland is for SEO. If you have competition in your industry or field, you need your product to be the first search engines show, that will give you an hedge.

I got quite a lot of patronage from Nairaland. Big ups to you guys behind the screen.

Next I moved to .....

FACEBOOK

I wanted more than what Nairaland was giving so I opened a Facebook page, started inviting friends, posting testimonies both on FB and NL and the LIKES started mounting up, so I decided to pay Facebook to get more LIKES.... Facebook did it..... Yeah!!!!!!!!! From 75 LIKES to 2500 within two days. Potential customers increased and the sales started taking positive shape. Yet, I wanted more...

So I took to....

INSTAGRAM

This was how I realized Facebook now own Instagram.... Here I learnt how to use power editor on Facebook to target more potential customers online within the chosen territory. I got real Followers instead of buying none existing Followers of 1m..... Better to have real people....

I needed more....

TWITTER

Same content that got result on Nairaland, Facebook didn't get as much attention on Twitter, so I decided to give it a push by advertising in Twitter.... I got good response but not very impactful on sales.

So I decided to take a risk....

LINDA IKEJI

After several attempts to reach her proved abortive, I still didn't give up. Realised she has my target market within the click of her mouse, I made some findings on the performance of sponsored post on her blog, realized you need to be creative and make it more 'amebo-ish' to catch the fancy of her loyal subscribers.... And also discovered she has like 2.5m visitors on her page on a daily basis... So I made up my mind if was Linda or none else....

Paid in, and the moment the post went LIVE.... With the patronage, my site's bandwidth finished after 11,000 visitors, had like 1,000 WhatsApp messages waiting for a reply, my number became busy for almost 1 week that some had to wait till the following week took reach me... If broke our record of sales....

I love good problems, I tried it two weeks after and still got result than the first....

Watch out for the next social media outfit result....

I hope this post helped?

Question for only entrepreneurs:

Why did Lindaikeji's blog outperformed Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Nairaland?

GET YOUR BUSINESS PAGE VERIFIED ON FACEOOK

Business Pages

Business Pages with physical addresses can display a verified check mark. Feature is being rolled out today in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, with other markets to follow.

Martin Beck on October 6, 2015 at 1:15 pm

Have a local business Page on Facebook? Soon you’ll be able to give your Page an official stamp of authenticity.

Facebook today started rolling out verified badges for local businesses. The badges come in the form of gray check marks — to differentiate them from the blue checks displayed on verified Pages for celebrities, public figures, sports teams and other media and entertainment organizations — and are available for businesses with a physical location in the US, Canada, Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand.

The new badges will display in Facebook search results and Pages in the familiar way:

The badges will help people “find the right and authentic accounts” for local merchants, Kirsten Bury, a Facebook product marketing manager for Pages, told Marketing Land. Verified Pages will also show up higher in search results.

“At scale there will inevitably be duplicates and multiple entries for the same business,” said Bury, noting that there are 45 million business Pages on Facebook. “So this is one way businesses can make it easier for people to make sure that they are finding and communicating with the right Page.”

The feature is accessed within a Page’s admin settings in markets where it is available. Business owners can verify their Pages immediately using their business’ publicly listed phone number. They can also verify by uploading an official document like a phone bill, a process that Facebook says will take several days to complete. Facebook has updated its help page about verification with more details about the badges. In the coming weeks, Facebook plans to introduce the feature in other markets and eventually give access to all Facebook business Pages, but for now it’s limited to businesses that display their outlet’s physical location on Facebook.

By itself, this new feature doesn’t seem that significant, but it’s part of Facebook efforts to signal its support for small businesses and make the case that the social network can be a primary part of a company’s digital presence. Facebook says more than 1 billion people visit Pages every month, and many of those visits are by people looking up businesses on mobile devices.

Last month, Facebook announced it was updating Pages with mobile in mind, optimizing display to make it easier for people on phones and tablets to navigate through Page content. It also boosted the prominence of call to action buttons like Contact Us, Send Message or Call Now and created new Shop and Service sections that allow businesses to display their wares. And in the case of the Shop sections, gave merchants the option to sell directly on Facebook using a Buy button. Facebook also has been enhancing the tools for customer-to-merchant communication on Facebook using its Messenger app.

Facebook’s current SMB strategy can be seen in part as an attempt to soothe business owners who remain upset about the crash of organic reach because reaching Facebook users via the News Feed is much more difficult than it was when the social network was younger and smaller. For years after the launch of Pages in 2007, Facebook representatives recommended that businesses marketing on Facebook build their Page fan bases to take advantage of the free access to people’s News Feed, but with growth in users and businesses causing competition for that space, a rugby scrum of content eventually crowded out many marketing messages.

And as Facebook’s advertising products matured, the company started counseling that the best way to market on Facebook was to buy targeted ads, advice that struck some as a bait and switch. In retrospect, Facebook’s ad chief, Andrew Bosworth, acknowledged that Facebook’s early messaging to marketers may have been confusing.

“I wish we could go back years and change the pitch we brought to advertisers,” Bosworth said last month at TechCrunch Disrupt. “We really didn’t anticipate the speed of our own growth and the competition it would put in the News Feed.”

Now Facebook’s thrust is if you want to buy ads, ours are very effective, but our free tools are also great, and we are committed to making them better.

“This isn’t the biggest product that we will launch in the next year,” Bury said, “but it’s definitely a sign of our investment in making it easy for people and businesses to connect on Facebook and on Pages.”

INVESTING IN "THE KING OF METALS"

REASONS YOU SHOULD INVEST IN GOLD

According to Dr Lawrence C. Wolken of Mays Business School at Texas A&M University,

"Much of his wealth is tied to the price of his shares of Microsoft stock and therefore subject to the ups and downs of the stock market."

Who are the wealthiest people in the world? In 1987, Japanese real estate tycoon Toshiaki Tsutsumi topped Forbes’ first list.

He was then worth an estimated $20 billion. When land prices in Japan crashed in 1990, much of his wealth evaporated. By late 1998 he was worth only $6 billion.

With a net worth of $18.5 billion Bill Gates topped the list in 1996 with Warren Buffett coming in a close second at $15 billion. Gates’ net worth reached a peak of $90 billion dollars in the 1999 rankings. "Much of his wealth is tied to the price of his shares of Microsoft stock and therefore subject to the ups and downs of the stock market."

The U.S. and Japan are not the only countries that have billionaires. From 1990 to 1994 the Mexican stock market quadrupled in terms of dollars. Forbes added 24 new billionaires from Mexico to its July 1994 list of the world’s wealthiest. Mexico’s Carlos Slim Helu' was ranked number six on that list at a net worth of $6.6 billion. When the peso crisis hit in late 1994, the Mexican stock market dropped 44%. By 1995 he was worth only $3.7 billion.

The prosperity of 1995 and 1996 created many billionaires in Southeast Asia. Unfortunately, their fortunes were reversed with the currency crisis that began in 1997.

Number two on the list in 1998 was Sultan Hassanai Bolkiah of Brunei. His net worth was estimated at $36 billion. Vladimir Potanin of Russia ranked number ten with a net worth of $1.6 billion. In addition to 70 Americans, Forbes’ 1998 list included 52 Europeans, and 44 Asians. By the 2004 rankings, Russia boasted a total 25 billionaires putting it in third place behind the U.S. and Germany. The world’s billionaires did not fair very well during the first few years of the new millennium. For its 2002 rankings, Forbes could find only 497 billionaires compared to 538 the previous year.

 This included 28 newcomers and 12 who returned to the rankings. For each of these returnees and newcomers, two others had dropped off the list. For the 497 who made the list that year, half of them had experienced a drop in their net worth. 2003 was not much better for the world’s rich, especially for the five billionaires who saw their net worth drop to zero. One of them, Germany’s media mogul Leo Kirch, took on too much debt and was forced into bankruptcy when his company’s creditors began exercising their put options.

The 2004 rankings reflected a modest upturn in the world’s economy with 587 billionaires making the list. Joanne Kathleen Rowling, a former welfare mother, made the list for the first time at number 552 as a result of her popular Harry Potter series. At age 20 Albert von Thurn und Taxis, the youngest to make the list, was ranked 262 with a net worth of $2.4 billion. How did someone so young get so rich so quickly? He inherited a royal family fortune on his 18th birthday. In contrast, John Simplot at age 95 was the oldest person on the list, ranked number 205. After dropping out of school in the eighth grade, he made his first billion in potatoes with a gadget that sorted spuds. During WWII many GIs ate his dehydrated potatoes and in the 1950s he patented frozen French fries.

The 2005 rankings included a record 691 billionaires from 47 countries with a collective net worth of $2.2 trillion. To put their collective net worth in perspective, the only countries in the world who have a higher annual GDP are the U.S., China, Japan, India, and Germany. The newcomers to the list included, for the first time, Kazakhstan, Poland, Ukraine and Iceland. Bill Gates was crowned the richest person on the planet for an eleventh straight year with a net worth of $46.5 billion, down from the $51 billion he had ten years earlier.

Warren Buffett was a close second at $42.9 billion with Karl Albrecht of Germany coming in a distant third at $23.0 billion. At number 25 , Abigail Johnson was the highest ranked woman with a net worth of $12 billion.. She and her father run Fidelity Investments. After thirteen years as the world’s richest person, Bill Gates slipped to number three in 2008 with a net worth of only $58 billion. Warren Buffett finally made it to number one with a net worth of $62 billion. Carlos Slim Helú was number 2 at $60 billion. The rankings had grown to 1,125 billionaires.
