@87_chuks Thanks for the taking the time to send this reallyyyyyy long reply
Now I have to reciprocate, or you will be thinking that I have no respect for you

@87_chuks

I doubt you really know how she made bank at the speed she did? Isn’t really as neat as turning free traffic to $1m - as you inferred in an earlier post.

See, the advertising agencies are a cabal way more entrenched than the mafia. They hold content owners to ransom especially those who cant afford to be flexible with their pricing.

@87_chuks

@PkayBola you don’t know the half of it.

Wrong assumptions, I worked with several agencies in Naija for 7 years +, Left when I got bored! That is my point, y’all just assuming when you do not have all the info or all the insight into whatever plans/experience someone has got.

@87_chuks

She definitely wouldnt mind as she runs a one woman show, virtually no overhead, and no personal cost to keep her blog running besides a charged laptop and ears out the window - for a long time it was the other ear on other people’s site, though.

Recognize: That is the ultimate Lean StartUp guide. It is not a bad idea!

@87_chuks

So when she charges 1m naira for her homepage ads, the agency bringing the business can take upto 40% of that. They are the gatekeepers and will keep business rolling her way, cuz it pays to shave. She loses nothing even if they shave her on 80/20, but no business woman or man would agree to that. Well not an Igbo woman

Oga, this is a global practice amongst ad agencies - they all get agency commissions from ad placements for clients.

A lot of the deals made around the world is based who knows you and as a sharp business woman you have to play cards very well. Ask Dangote my guy

@87_chuks

That Linda runs an uber successful blog doesn’t mean she never took advice whether expert or not. For all we know this LIS may just well be his little brother’s idea. According to you she should have prolly waited to loan him a billion naira before he could be heard.

If you read my comment above very well, I said "I will only take you serious if you fulfill any of the criteria listed below as a worthy advisor and mentor to Linda.

We need to learn how to pass opinions as what they are and not as fact or reality except when you a certified authority on the relevant subject matter by experience or training.

@87_chuks

I know none of these things enter your head, you’d probably reply with; ‘who grammar epp?’ or her sister version.

You need to see the size of my head, the thing big mehn! Lol!

There is enough room for this your plenty yarns

@87_chuks

Just broadening your perspective.

The little you know is what you have submitted as an expose on ad agencies and their shaving, this not the time and place to school you on what really goes down in that space… Book a date on my calendar and I will show you the way…

Takeaway from Tantalizers

• Do not be greed - Share even with your competition/problem. When you share, you will grow faster and even eat up your competition/problem later.
• Focus is key - Leave others and what their are doing, if you are not doing it with them, face front and do your thing.

BTW: Linda makes evil money from Adsense (Not part of the ad agencies cabal) too o!

I am sorry I did not really get your question. Do you mind repeating it?
