We've got a great economy in Nigeria and not everyone really knows how to make money from such emerging opportunities in a rapidly developing West African country like Nigeria. One aspect that is also often overlooked by young and internet savvy entrepreneurs is online commerce - They really don't know how to make money from their online activities.
I don't want to start talking about the many ways from which very few knowledgeable people are already making money online in Nigeria such as freelancing, online consulting, email marketing, internet advertising, job blogs, affiliate marketing, web publishing, designing and development, web hosting and domain registration, information products, forex trading and the rest but I really want to talk about a much more easier and reliable way called blogging.
What is Blogging?
Blogging is the act of making logs or updates on a web. It comes from the word weblog and so instead of it being called weblogging, it is referred to a blogging. Blogging is a growing web activity and emerging profession as it's a powerful tool for sharing knowledge on the web.
A person who blogs is called a blogger and the activity he does when making a blog post is called blogging. Blogging involves writing and publishing informational content mostly texts to the internet. Blogging can be used to make product reviews or previews and can help sell a product even before it comes to the market.
Blogging is meant to be a regular activity and should be done periodically like daily, weekly or monthly as this will help the site command respect in the search engines like Google.
Blogging can also be seen as a hobby as people who ave them may use them to document and share their real life work on the web not to make money from it but just to boost their profile and command respect. Companies who have online presence are also beginning to see the importance of blogs as most of them are including blogs in their websites in order to help promote and project the company's image and maintain a good PR.Making money online from Blogging
How then can one make money online from a blog? Although some say it is evil to monetize a blog, what then is the essence of hosting and publishing a blog if it doesn't bring in money?
Blogging on it's own can't make money for you unless you commercialize it and one way you can commercialize a blog is by introducing online advertising such as Google adsense. Google adsense is a programme that pays a website owner for allowing ads to show on his site.
Google adsense is open to everyone as long as you agree to it's terms of service and have a unique website that has considerable web content. Most bloggers in Nigeria are already signed up for the Google adsense prorgamme with quite a few of them doing it full time as a living. Although not all adsense publishers in Nigeria make considerable amount of money from their websites, quite a handful of them make as much as $500 - $5000 monthly from such kind of internet publishing.
How to really make money online in Nigerian by Blogging
- Get a blog and start blogging
- Find a niche for your blog and dominate it
- Monetize your site with Google adsense
- Increase your adsense earnings by expanding your web contentIn whatever you do as long as you desire to keep making money from Google adsense, try to keep adding new content to your website or blog because with online publishing, content is really king.

Re: How to make money online in Nigeria by Blogging Posted by Felix Okoli on February 25, 2011 at 01:54:43: It depends on how informative your blog is to people. You will need to write well and make it attractive to your audience. A startup blog can take at least 6 months with intensive effort to start making any income from Adsense
