Join My Inner Circle & EARN 50% AS MY AFFILIATE PARTNER

May 30, 2015 Tayo Solagbade Leave a comment

This morning I had an interesting phone conversation with a Poultry Farm CEO based in an East African country. He’d emailed me yesterday about my Feed Formulation Handbook, Ration Formulator and Poultry Farm Manager apps.

After requesting price details, before ending the call, he expressed interest in promoting my products to other buyers in his country. That appealed instantly to me because teaming up with others to boost my marketing reach/impact is one of the main objectives I have!

Indeed, like I told him, I’ve always had a 50% commission affiliate partnership STANDING offer.

However, his request has now made me open it up to ALL members of my Inner Circle i.e. anyone who joins my Inner Circle WILL instantly become MY 50% affiliate partner.

In other words if a member of my Inner Circle refers ANY person to buy my product(s), I WILL send him/her 50% of that product(s) sale amount.

We just need to agree modalities for working together. It’s simple.

So if YOU, reading this now are interested, get in touch, to find out how to earn 50% as my affiliate partner.

Here’s the best part: As a member of my Inner Circle you get: ONE product of your choice FREE (e.g Custom Software, Biz Plans, Best Practice Books) PLUS 65% off ALL my other products & services (e.g. Web Marketing, Freelance Writing, Mentoring etc) – for LIFE

With regard to the 65% discount on my Web Marketing System (WMS) Development service…if you want it, I will build a branded Joomla website, a branded WordPress blog, a branded Facebook page and a branded Twitter page for your business at 65% discount off my normal N100k (One Hundred Thousand Naira) fee.

You pay N35K plus a special N10k domain/hosting fee, making N45k instead of over N132k!

NB: Examples of what you get can be seen at www.tayosolagbade.com and www.tayosolagbade.com/sdnuggets and www.tayosolagbade.com/fbk and www.tayosolagbade.com/twit)

But that’s not all: When your WMS is up and running, I will go further to create a page on your website/blog and mine, announcing that my products can be obtained in your country through you.

That way, all who wish to buy from me will HAVE to go through you, making MORE people come to you, and ensuring that you get payments due to you from me for any sales I get.

Incidentally, what I said above is the basis on which I represent Burt Dubin as Sole Agent for his Speaker Mentoring products/services across Africa.

See my name etc at www.speakingsuccess.com & www.tayosolagbade.com/uploads/burt_new_flyer.pdf

******

And there’s more: Membership of my Inner Circle also gets you my Home Study Excel –VB Workbook Tutorial Videos. PLUS you get access to My Excel-VB Club & Competition.

You will learn to automate MS Excel using Visual Basic programming – and that would make you look good in paid employment, and you can earn income by selling your Excel-VB apps like I do!

For instance, the above interactive map of Nigeria, that I use to auto-generate reports for ANY state I click on the map in my latest app – can be customized for use in ANY business to generate instant reports/charts of production, sales, expense data.

Watch videos of the above shown app in use, and view screenshots/explanations at www.taysolagbade.com/erc

6 Things You Need To Make Your Website Succeed – ANYWHERE!

May 29, 2015 Tayo Solagbade Leave a comment

Even a 5 year old can build a website today, using FREE tools. What’s NOT so easy is making the website generate sales leads/prospects who eventually buy: THAT, is when a website IS working/succeeding! Today, over a decade after I started up, I travel as a Location Independent Multipreneur, across West Africa, and have CEO clients within and outside Africa.

My exposure and experiences over the years have helped me discover the following important FACT:

MOST African CEOs do not know they should be in the driving seat of their Website Marketing for Business Development.

For your website to WORK , YOU MUST be ABLE to create and propagate your website content for marketing purposes (or have a team member/in-house staff who can do it for you).

If you want to achieve sustainable, low cost, intelligent web marketing success for your business, you should NEVER be dependent on your developer to do your content updates. Except of course s/he is a member of YOUR team, NOT an external contractor taking a chunk of your funds!

If this is NOT the case, if you are not able to update your website content for marketing purposes, anytime and anywhere you want, then your website is VERY unlikely to be succeeding!

In reviewing websites owned by large companies across Africa, I have noticed that the same problem afflicts their CEOs too, as it does the SMEs.

It is for this reason that I have ALWAYS advocated that today’s business owners in Africa, need to adopt websites built with zero-cost…

Feed Compounding With Indomie Noodles Factory Waste Can Save YOUR Farm’s Profits

May 28, 2015 Tayo Solagbade Leave a comment

Several years ago, Ben Oshionya, a Farm CEO based on the outskirts of Portharcourt-Nigeria, who had purchased my Feed Formulation Handbook and Software got in touch again via phone a week later.

He wanted to know how he could use Indomie noodles waste (from the manufacturer’s factory process), to compound feed for his fish.

Past visits to various farms had already led me to discover a recent trend in which many local pig and fish farmers (in particular) out here, use this low cost by product to boost growth of their animals by incorporating it in the rations they serve them.

Poultry, fish and pig farmers in particular were using it to boost the energy content of their feed, and in some cases for “fattening” purposes.

I also knew from visits to feed mills, that it was readily available for purchase along with other “traditional” feed ingredients.

This made it easy for me to later on that night send him the following text message via my mobile:

——Start of message

“Calculating with information printed on the wrapper of a 70g pack, you find that Indomie noodles has about 71% carbohydrate content(7% being sugar), 9% protein, and 17% fat.

When used in compounded feed, it boosts growth – especially for fingerlings, I am told. Sells for about N50 per kilogram in feed mills.

You can use it to replace some of the maize and other carbohydrate sources in your ration. Watch the fat. tayo.”

——End of message

NB: The above message was sent in 2008. It goes without saying that the prices stated will have changed as of now – 28th May 2015 (7 years on).

In sending him the information, I knew he would follow the Pearson Square Computation method described in my handbook that he’d purchased.

Since Ben already owned a copy of my feed formulation handbook, it was logical to expect that the above would not be difficult for him to do successfully.

Basically, he would incorporate the appropriate quantity of noodles waste into the rations to be fed to the animals (after posting the relevant nutrient composition into the ingredients table provided in the software).

That way he would be able to MEASURE what he used and compare with the performance of the animals, as a guide to deciding on further/future use.

I told him to let me know if he encountered any problems. I did not hear from him, so it’s likely he got on well.

Since then I’ve had similar experiences with other buyers of the handbook and software.

Feed compounding is the art of producing healthy least cost (NOT lowest cost) BALANCED livestock feed/rations using the science of Feed Formulation (e.g. via methods like Pearson Square Computation. Linear Programming and others)

Are you considering trying out alternative feed ingredients for your animal feeds so as to save costs and get better performance from your animals?

An intelligent and cost effective/safe way to proceed would be to use a software, like my Excel-VB driven Ration Formulator, on sale since 2004.

But you need a sound knowledge of the practical feed formulation and compounding, to succeed – whether you use a software or do it manually.

This is why I always recommend that buyers of my software, who lack good understanding of feed formulation and compounding, also purchase my 60-page Practical Livestock Feed Formulation handbook.

It provides step-by-step explanations about how to compound your own cost-effective rations for your farm animals.

To Succeed You Need Best Practice Systems For Your (Farm) Business Processes

May 26, 2015 Tayo Solagbade Leave a comment

Are you CEO of a Farm business, or any other small, medium, large or multinational manufacturing company? Then you must know that the MOST IMPORTANT goal of your BUSINESS is to make money: That happens via increasing net profit while simultaneously increasing Return On Investment (ROI) and Cash Flow?

The above mentioned are 3 crucial measurements to evaluate your progress – at the TOP decision making level of your company!

For the lower level operatives on the shop floor, however, you WILL often need to find measurements which explain the GOAL of making money (by being productive) perfectly well, but which also permit you to develop OPERATIONAL RULES for managing your processes.

So your business’ goal stated in the above paragraph could be translated – for use on the shop floor/in the market – as: to make money by increasing THROUGHPUT (i.e. the rate at which products are manufactured AND sold) while simultaneously reducing INVENTORY and OPERATING EXPENSE.

Are you consistently able to get YOUR in-demand quality product manufactured and into the market on time at the cost that can beat the competition? A BOPMS™ (i.e. Best Operating Process Management System™) can help you become able to say YES anytime you consider that question.

The process involved in establishing/entrenching BOPMS™ in your process will help you derive those measures you need and test them for use successfully in productively managing your plant.

Successfully entrenching a BOPMS™ in your company will also make you MUCH better prepared to qualify for best practice accreditation should you wish to go for it (Contact me and I will explain why/how).

You must however LEARN how to do the THINKING for yourself, so that SUBSEQUENTLY, after I step back, you can competently develop your BOPMS™ further over time, as changes that inevitably take place WILL CONTINUALLY force you to evolve IMPROVED methods/approaches. (Re: Continuous Improvement).

My approach to Best Practice systems development is designed to eliminate non-essential elements of the traditional methods in order to help the willing client SAVE money and time in adopting it for his/her use.

From observing businesses operating in our local environment over the years, I have become convinced that a quicker/shorter but VERY customised version of the Best Practice system implementation will WORK if properly executed.

My BOPMS™ components checklist is designed to help the client make cost-effective choices that will ensure s/he gets exactly what works best for his/her process.

Contact me, if you want to learn more about how I can help your company achieve the ultimate goal described above.

In case you nurse fear that this could be a waste of time, I will add two things:

1). My fees are affordable but NOT cheap. That is why I accept enquiries ONLY from the business owner – who takes the final decisions.

2). In the past, I implemented a BOPMS™ – which included a 2-day Generic training for factory operatives – for a Lagos based manufacturing company, and have worked closely with the Managing Director and the factory staff over a two week period.

The results already achieved attest to my claims. Contact me, and I will elaborate.

[Video 4 of 9] MS Excel Heaven VB Competition: But Why a Competition on MS Excel-VB Automation?

May 26, 2015 Tayo Solagbade Leave a comment

[Read this text transcript & watch the full video below] MS Excel is taught as part of basic computer appreciation in many schools today (even primary level). And most persons in paid/self-employment use it for various aspects of their work.

Based on the above, adding Excel VBA programming education to what is being taught is only a logical progression.

My achievements prove ExcelVB training confers ready-to-use income earning application development skills useful in ANY socioeconomic environment.

Excel-VB programming works so well because MS Excel, the development platform, is familiar to most computer users across the world.

The best part is that just like any other programming language using in coding, Excel-VB proficiency can be developed by anyone with interest – who can read and write/type!

Now, there’s ONE unique advantage of developing apps with VBA compared to other programming languages

You can even start with the Macro Recorder – using it to record the steps you follow in carrying out your spreadsheet tasks, and then studying the code it generates to Learn How to Write VBA Code!

1 of 2: PUBLIC SPEAKING – How A NEW Client Paid For My Website! [Why “Bartering” Can Help You Sell More – True Story]

This dramatic series of events that lasted nearly three weeks too place between April and May 2009, regarding my former 9 year old domain – spontaneousdevelopment.com.

I had a premonition towards the end of April, that it would be smart to make alternative arrangements to get payment

for my site’s renewal in May 2019, so I started the process of opening a domicillary account with a bank here in Lagos.

It took some running around to meet all the bank’s requirements, but I eventually did.

Unfortunately, some days to the renewal date, I got an email from the bank saying my accound had been blocked for some reason I did not care to even call them about.

On the due date (2nd May), the credit card attached to my account

– belonging to a friend in the USA (and which had been used for 4 previous renewals since 2005), failed when it was charged for that year (the 5th). I got an auto-email from (web host name removed)

to that effect.

So, what did I do? Well, I have always been a business to business barter exchange enthusiast, and have often offered clients the opportunity to save cash by paying for my services in kind.

(For instance, I once had a client who paid about 50% of my fees by printing one of my t-shirt designs on to t-shirts for kids. Visit www.cafepress.com/ezeartsonline to see the Eyo Masquerade designs used on the T-Shirts.

What I did was to offer a prospective client I was discussing with in the last week of April, a discount, and some other incentives, to use his domicillary account to transfer the required amount (approx $130 excl. charges which amounted to almost $50 at the end) to

(web host name removed).

And he agreed. In fact, two days later (after crediting the required dollar amount to the account), he did the transfer. I subsequently followed up with

(web host name removed).

But alas, all did not turn out well.

After a series of enquiries (back and forth email messages and chat discussions), over a number of days, we finally discovered that a certain off-shore charge had not been provided for by my client in the total amount he sent, which led to the money that got to

(web host name removed) being lower than my renewal fees.

By this time, my site had gone offline as a result of the non-renewal.

But things have a way of working themselves out.

In what was a wonderful coincidence (and reversal of fortunes), my new client pointed out that he would be leaving for the USA to attend a course, and could easily send over any balance if I let him know the outcome of my discussions with.

THAT was exactly what happened.

I had one final chat session with another

agent of the hosting company, and I verified the remaining amount to be sent over to complete my payment. I emailed my client the details in Atlanta, and he sent another wire transfer from his US bank to (web host name removed)’s bank in Kansas.

48 Hours later, my site was back online, and I sent him the following email:

—————————

Re: You did it – BIG Thanks, Man!

From:

To:

Elvis,

Just a quick note to say thanks for your efforts to make this come to pass – as it has.

have re-instated the site and updated my account. Hurry up and come back, so I can start showing what I am also made of, by keeping my own end of the bargain!……

Have a great time out there and don’t forget to bring some “puff puff” O!

Cheers,tayo

And he replies me with this email:

Tayo,

No wahala!

How u dey? I travelled to Virginia Beach…just came to Atlanta. Will be back by the weekend.

—————————-

Now, do the above sound like exchanges between two people doing business or between two friends? I’m sure you will choose the latter.

Consider also the fact that this chap had already made payments to me in Naira for some part of the work I was doing for him at the time, even though the bulk of it would only begin when he returned.

That should convince you that what I have said in many of my past articles about the principles described in the “Science of Getting Rich” e-book really works.

Question: But who is Burt Dubin, and why do I (Tayo K. Solagbade) think you should you learn from him?

Answer: Burt is a 3 decade veteran in the professional speaking business. After achieving top level cross continental success as an expert-speaker, he has established a reputation for mentoring some of the highest paid speakers in the world. He owns SpeakingBizSuccess.com, SpeakingSuccess.com and BurtDubin.com.

Burt helps those he mentors (experts-who-speak) to Position, Package, Promote, and Present* themselves successfully to clients (*He calls them the 4Ps). That’s why it’s no surprise that on Burt’s website, considerable space capital is devoted to useful business marketing articles as well as products.

It might also interest you to know that MANY years back, Burt established himself as one of the best marketing minds in the world. To really put this FACT in proper perspective, I’ll provide more specific details in form of an example.

A few years ago, Burt contributed an article to a powerful publication titled “The Most Effective Articles Ever – By The World’s Top Marketers“. That 574 page ebook features timeless marketing advice from 71 of the world’s top marketers – including Jack Trout, Joe Vitale, Yanik Silver…and Burt Dubin.

That’s ample proof that (in addition to Public Speaking), Burt would be a great resource to learn business marketing from!

Full Disclosure: I represent Burt as Sole Agent for his products/services, which means if YOU buy from him, I get paid.

But that’s NOT the main reason I represent and recommend him. I have benefited in many ways by learning from Burt. Through his writing, his audio recordings, and from directly relating with him.

Before we teamed up in 2011, I’d been studying his work and adapting it to succeed in my work from way back in 2002. It does not matter what part of the world you’re in. If you know how to adapt them to suit your peculiar local needs, Burt’s ideas and strategies WILL work for you. I am living proof of it!

That’s why I never tire of CONFIDENTLY recommending him to others.

If you need help putting the ideas shared above to use, let me know HERE.

On 4th May 2014, Tayo’s 9 year old domain (Spontaneousdevelopment dot com), which hosted his website, was taken over by Aplus.net.

Within a few days however, Tayo used his advanced self-taught web development skills to build a SUPERIOR “reincarnation” of it the website http://www.tayosolagbade.com.

But updates are still ongoing to URLs bearing the old domain name in most of the over 1,000 web pages, and blog posts

he’s published.

The Justification for Adopting Custom ExcelVB Spreadsheet Automation – Many Africans still don’t get it. Sometimes Off-The-Shelf Applications will NOT meet your needs well enough! There is an industry that is MISSING on the continent, that can help reduce unemployment: It’s the Excel-VB Solutions Development Industry!

Is YOUR Employee Screaming For Help Without Being Heard?

May 21, 2015 Tayo Solagbade Leave a comment

This is not a lengthy piece (at 470 words) but I think the message it carries is quite weighty.

Many times in large (and even small) organisations, “office politics” if allowed to get out of hand can lead to some VERY talented and creative members of the team getting frustrated to the point that they LEAVE the organisations or become subdued and fall into a “depression” of sorts.

I have always been a believer in the philosophy of MAINTAINING and building up employee/workforce morale without necessarily having to resort to MONETARY incentives.

Some business owners and managers however think they can DEMAND commitment and compliance from their workers without making the latter FEEL their is a good reason to act accordingly.

It is my considered opinion that EVERY manager or business has the RESPONSIBILTY to check and ensure the right atmosphere and environment exists for EACH member of the organisation, regardless of rank or position to perform to the best of his/her ability – and ENJOY doing so.

Sadly, in many companies today, we have many unhappy and de motivated employees working for insensitive managers and business owners. The letter I reproduce below is a perfect example of what can result if a situation like that is allowed to persist.

As you read this ALARMING letter from an employee who cried out form “help”, the question I want you to ask yourself is what can YOU do to ensure NO ONE in your company or under your supervision EVER feels a need to write such a letter to ANYONE – your boss or yourself!

==================Start of letter======================

From: Name Deleted

Re: Oppression And Destruction

In recent weeks, my boss…..(name deleted)…has unleashed several sudden unprovoked attacks (both verbal and written) on my person, and under the guise of “job demands”.

After much self restraint to keep relationships unstrained in the interest of the job, I have now been compelled to cry out because the way and manner these attacks are coming clearly reveal some ulterior motive behind his actions.

While I would like to believe and be assured that this is not a deliberate attempt calculated at damaging my reputation, and to destroy my career prospects in the company after over eleven (11) good years or hard work, dedication, and devotion to duty, in view of the recent bias, I would be most grateful, if in the interest of peace, justice and fair play, a quick and detailed investigation is allowed into this matter in order to avert any unpleasant circumstance in the near future, for God’s sake.

Thanks, in anticipation of a timely intervention.

Yours faithfully,

Signed (Name Deleted)

He wanted to know how he could use Indomie noodles waste (from the manufacturer’s factory process), to compound feed for his fish.

This made it easy for me to later on that night send him the following text message via my mobile:

Feed compounding is the art of producing healthy least cost (NOT lowest cost) BALANCED livestock feed/rations using the science of Feed Formulation (e.g. via methods like Pearson Square Computation. Linear Programming and others)

This is why I always recommend that buyers of my software, who lack good understanding of feed formulation and compounding, also purchase my 60-page Practical Livestock Feed Formulation handbook.

For the lower level operatives on the shop floor, however, you WILL often need to find measurements which explain the GOAL of making money (by being productive) perfectly well, but which also permit you to develop OPERATIONAL RULES for managing your processes.

You must however LEARN how to do the THINKING for yourself, so that SUBSEQUENTLY, after I step back, you can competently develop your BOPMS™ further over time, as changes that inevitably take place WILL CONTINUALLY force you to evolve IMPROVED methods/approaches. (Re: Continuous Improvement).

1 of 2: PUBLIC SPEAKING – How A NEW Client Paid For My Website! [Why “Bartering” Can Help You Sell More – True Story]

I had a premonition towards the end of April, that it would be smart to make alternative arrangements to get payment

So, what did I do? Well, I have always been a business to business barter exchange enthusiast, and have often offered clients the opportunity to save cash by paying for my services in kind.

After a series of enquiries (back and forth email messages and chat discussions), over a number of days, we finally discovered that a certain off-shore charge had not been provided for by my client in the total amount he sent, which led to the money that got to
