Due to my diverse client base I get many requests for widely differiug solutions I offer as a Multipreneur. Most come to me because they trust me. So much so that they even ask me to help evaluate prospective employees, or to decide what expert to engage to carry out tasks for them.

Real world relevant skills immunize those who have – and make diligent intelligent use of – them against failure.
I always tell people of a news report I once read over a decade ago, when Daddy Showkey (who invented the unique dance styles and music genre that made him famous) explained how he survived his early years in poverty.
He did that in almost any public space. Crowds often gathered quickly and by the time he was done, a good number would have dropped money to show their appreciation.
Showkey has since used that skill of his to inspire many others, as he grew his brand to success. Today, he owns his own house, and lives comfortably with his family.
Not everyone will be gifted in that department or interested in pursuing success in that field.
And that’s great, because the world is badly in nee, today, of skilled persons with unending passion for what they do in many diverse areas of life, or markets.
I especially love those skills that eliminate the need to search for big startup capital.
That’s why I’m partial to catering (especially baking), PC and Internet related products/services creation and delivery, hair dressing, electrical problem solving, and other vocations
The above is what drives me daily to support my kids to acquire and develop multiple, potentially useful real world relevant skills.
It is also why I remain a relentlessly fervent advocate of the work being done by organizations like Omowale Ola’s Field of Skills and Dreams in today’s world.
It is interesting to note that many skilled people, who do get it, often use their skills to earn money they then channel as capital to startup brick and mortar or physical entreprises they dream of owning.
For instance, a web marketing expert could channel 80% of his earnings towards starting a grocery store business managed by his spouse.
Since he works from home and has few overheads, this would be a good way to establish and grow over time, an additional stream of income to secure his family’s future.
Quite often, skilled people are able to make money simply by creatively putting their skills to use, at low to zero cost, in the SERVICE of others towards solving problems or even providing entertainment.
Examples include the skilled hairdresser, PC/mobile phone repairer, automobile technician, electrician, tailor/fashion designer, dancer/singer, web marketing solutions provider etc
That’s why I have a keen interest in telling others to acquire skills.
"It should be encouraging to know that practically all the great fortunes began in the form of compensation for personal services or from the sale of ideas.

[UPDATE: It’s now LIVE in my online store here – click – Watch the preview video at [Audio Book] Tayo Solagbade’s “Ten Storyfied Yoruba Proverbs for Children” Audio Book DVD – YouTube] or below:
After working on it all through December 2014, I’m excited to announce this new learning tool, originally created for my kids, will go LIVE at www.lulu.com/sdaproducts tomorrow night!
Sub title: Ten popular Yoruba proverbs with contextual translations and story-based examples of their use, in daily life, for young children & and learners in general
My motivation to do this is MAINLY to empower my kids to communicate proficiently using Yoruba.
It is also to enable them appreciate the beauty of the language – which can best be enjoyed when knows how to use and interpret proverbs and wise sayings appropriately.
But I was lucky that my Dad firmly insisted, during our teenage years, that we read OUT the Yoruba bible during the daily bible study sessions we had.
That left me with the ability to actually READ the language despite being raised in Lagos city, and speaking English most of the time.
On my own, I went further as I grew older, to learn the phonetic aspects of speaking and writing Yoruba. But not in any structured way. It was all haphazard.
For instance, during my 5 year stay in Ibadan’s University of Ibadan, I was blessed to share a room with 2 guys from my home town Abeokuta, who grew up there and obviously spent most of their years with adults who had superb grasp of the language.
Rather than resent them, my habit of relentlessly pursuing self-improvement, made me ask them to share their knowledge with me, and by the time I left campus, even though I was nowhere near them, I had picked up enough to build on.
Over time I have consolidated that foundation, and today I have a growing library of learning resources, that I am now using to prepare coaching content for my own kids.
However, what I have, I KNOW, can benefit MY kids and lots of others who lack it.
As such, I choose to focus on sharing THAT with them – and where I find others with superior proficiency, I will expose my kids to them as well!
That way, the get exposed to it earlier, and come away with deeper understanding in the process.
That’s why the proverbs featured in my book are those that I have already discussed with my kids, and I even got them to create the MP3 audio clips with me – helping to say the proverbs in Yoruba and/or in English.
Below is a screenshot from the first proverb’s slide.
My “Storyfied” model is designed to facilitate contextual comprehension of proverbs by persons with limited proficiency.
This way I can get them out with some regularity. Even if I have to churn out smaller volumes.
This is a project VERY close to my heart.
One that I am simply too passionate about and too determined to ever stop doing UNTIL I complete it (that’s talking thousands of proverbs – so maybe with time I’ll step back up to 25 or more per issue).
That’s why I want to use my “Storyfied” Proverbs to break them in faster.
The stories will boost their comprehension of the proverbs, and since opportunities to use them will occur in life, they will over time learn to express themselves using proverbs.
The prestige that will result from demonstrating that ability will cause them to pay greater attention to learning MORE proverbs, and in the process they will learn MORE of the Yoruba language and culture itself. ( The language and the culture cannot be separated you see!)
The more contact you have with, and conscious attention you pay to a language, the more you internalize it.
Eventually at a point, you will achieve critical point where you become proficient.
This is why I continue to publish various resources I create in a manner that enables interested others purchase, and adapt them for their own use.
Click here to see my online store, where this new book will go on sale from tomorrow p.m.
Each day I see my kids, taking instructions from and communicating in Igbo language with their mother(who is from Obosi inNigeria’s Anambra state), I tell myself I need to do the same thing (i.e create a Storyfied proverbs book) for them with the IGBO language, which also has a rich store of proverbs.
And I already have material I can start with – from a 2002 paid 3 month IGBO language course that I attended in a coaching school at Allen Avenue. But it goes without saying that – as I am doing with the Yoruba version – I will also visit persons proficient in use of the language to LEARN and get guidance to ensure I do a good job of it.
All contributors names will be acknowledged in the publication – as has been done with this Yoruba book.
Before creating the above guide, I’d published my ebook titled “Proven 5 Step Formula for Learning ANY Language in 3 Months or LESS“.
It was based on my experiences learning to read, write and speak the French Language, within 3 months in 1999 (traveling to stay in Cameroon to improve my fluency).
“Thanks Mr. Tayo for the visit, timely n wonderful. Thankx. Mr. K (name removed for privacy).”
[Lagos, 6p.m] I just returned from a 5 hour long visit to Lagos’ Oko Oba-Agege’s equipment suppliers, vet shops and feed mills. The above message was sent to me by a poultry farming expert I consulted there. So why was he thanking ME, when I was the one who went to consult HIM?
Well, like I tell people all the time, I adhere to a success philosophy that requires one to CREATE AN IMPRESSION OF INCREASE to everyone s/he comes in contact with.
Read on to find out how I did that, to the extent that this gentleman felt obliged to send me a thank you message after I’d left (NB: I strongly recommend YOU form the habit of doing same)!
Mr. K is a poultry farm business consultant who specializes in helping people start-up/manage broiler and poultry enterprises.
I found him when I did a Google search for farm businesses located in Oko Oba. I do this all the time when I wish to save time in visiting an area. Most people simply get dressed and go around asking for directions.
I happen to know that more and more farm business owners are taking the pains to put their business online via one or more platforms – often free ones. Most are not very web savvy, but they know the web offers potential benefits that can help them make more money or reduce operational (e.g. sales and marketing) expenses.
My search threw up about 2 pages of useful addresses, one of which was an abandoned facebook page setup in about 2 years ago, by Mr. K for his business.
He had posted a few updates and then stopped. But his mobile phone number was still visible.
I was browsing on my Blackberry, so I clicked on the phone number, and after 2 rings he picked up.
I explained to Mr. K, that I wanted to visit Oko Oba to consult with him and a few others, towards getting information to prepare an elaborate Broiler and Poultry Farm Business Plan for an old client, who wishes to venture into both areas.
This is an independent consultant client I’ve known since 2007, and who has hired me to develop several Excel-VB software for him over the years.
Now, he’s planning to retire from consulting to a property in his home town, which he wants to run the poultry business on.
Mr, K agreed to meet with me, and promptly gave me directions to find my way to his office. Around 12 noon, I arrive there, and he readily gave answers to all my questions relating to the data I needed for the plan I need to prepare.
In my usual manner, I went out of my way to find out how I could also add value to him – as a way of giving back…
I asked why he’d not continued using his Facebook page. He explained that he’d launched it to promote a broiler production project for a client, and once that ended, he’d stopped.
When he said this, I pointed out the fact to him that our meeting would never have happened if he had not left his mobile phone number on that page. I then added that many Nigerians today, readily use the web to search for information on how to start-up poultry and other farm businesses and that most were looking to hire a competent expert to help them begin.
I went on to tell him that if they encounter even a simple Facebook page regularly updated with useful information along the lines of their interest, they are likely to connect with owner of that page – if not immediately, then over time.
Quite often they would start by LIKING the page and monitoring the updates from it.
What I was saying was not theory: I promptly showed him a real life example of a Facebook page doing just that from Ibadan, in South West Nigeria.
This chap basically has built a captive audience of fans for his business on his page, and regular conversations are visible, in which they ask for his products and services, in response to offers he makes. And sometimes they simply thank and commend him for the useful information he shared (e.g. a Facebook note on a topic of interest) on the page.
Like I told the owner of that page, when I called him late last year to make my usual no-strings-attached suggestions, he can do SO MUCH more and reap even better monetary rewards, if he were to setup a system to automatically capture and use the contact information of his fans to reach them OUTSIDE facebook. So far, it does not appear that he has acted on my suggestion.
But even without doing what I proposed, it’s obvious the Ibadan based CEO is getting useful results from his Facebook page based marketing (click here to request the link to view his page)
I just do not like the rather manual, and non-viral/non-syndicated, Facebook limited nature of his model.
Having said that, I knew Mr. K would benefit greatly from adopting a similar model, which is basically zero cost. So, I showed him the Facebook page on my phone, and emailed him a link to it at the same time.
Then I forwarded 2 other emails containing links to other resources I send out to interested persons, which explain more about how to use what I call a Web Marketing System to boost marketing of your products, and also to sell your knowledge.
I told him that rather than simply let people make him prepare broiler production plans and have it free, promising to get back to him (which they rarely did), he could prepare a special handbook or guidebook on Starting a Broiler Production Business, and offer it for sale to those who contact him.
That way, when they call, he can simply offer a brief cost-free consultation and they say “If you want more detailed information, buy my information pack or e-book etc”.
No serious minded enquirer will say no to this!
But even if s/he does say NO, you can still say “Okay, I offer a one hour consultation session for say N5,000 or N10,000”. In certain cases you may choose to apply your discretion, and waive this condition, if you perceive the person is not likely to pull a fast one on you. I do this all the time.
What is important is to have a formal procedure in place for dealing with people who come to you for INFORMATION and/or EDUCATION which your unique experience and expertise makes you qualified to give.
Do NOT give everything away: You have the right to sell what you KNOW for profit. It is the key to lasting success and profits.
What I’m saying here applies to ANYONE in ANY line of business.
The key is to know how to go about it.
Note however, that no textbook explains how, and no limits exist to what you can do and how. If you need help thinking up ways to apply what I’ve said here, click here to tell me your unique needs.
Final Words: If you are good at what you do, there is absolutely NO REASON why you should not monetize what you know, to earn useful passive income – for LIFE!
No matter your field of specialization or vocation, even if it’s painting or broiler farming, if you’ve been at it a while, there will be knowledge and insights you have, that others lacking your experience and exposure will want.
In other words, apart from the physical products you offer, you should be able to earn useful income, for the long term, selling your “knowledge” (NB: I have been doing this for years selling my Feed Formulation Handbook and other information products listed in my online store).
However, your target audience will NOT know you have what they want, or need, IF you do NOT let them know.
Which brings us to the logical question: How do you let those who need what you know, discover that you have it?
That is what I have tried to explained to you in this article. Hopefully you can take what I’ve told you and run with it by yourself.
If not however, I can help you develop and implement a Web Marketing System to make it happen for YOU – like it does for me, and for my clients.
Call me on +234-803-302-1263 (in Nigeria) or +229-66-122-136 (in Benin Republic) for more.

Unconventional ideas, used intelligently, can yield superior results compared to “popular” ones. Years of testing ideas advocated by myriad experts, in my search for success have taught me that what WORKS, and NOT necessarily what’s popular, is what REALLY MATTERS.
This has made me a fervent advocate of seasoned, and highly successful experts like Burt Dubin, Terry Dean, Dan Kennedy etc.

I have written this article to share a number of (hopefully useful) experience based ideas about the massive name recognition building and brand marketing potential that Article Marketing can afford ANYONE who uses it correctly. I have inserted specific examples at various points in this write up mainly to provide details that demonstrate the effectiveness of this method – and NOT to promote or market myself.
One of the benefits this has resulted in, is that more and more people (over 150 unique visitors per day, with over 250 page views) are finding my website via online searches. Now, these numbers are not BIG, but comparing them to what I used to record BEFORE I adopted Article Marketing (and what obtains in my local market), they are impressive.
For instance, in January 2011, about 15 persons who had visited my Farm Biz Support website in the past, responded to a special LOW PRICE offer I made (via bulk SMS message I sent to phone numbers they submitted via my website contact form), to purchase the eBook version of my Practical Livestock Feed Formulation Handbook by paying into my bank account from different parts of the country – Abuja, P/Harcourt, Sagamu, Lagos, Ibadan etc.
Indeed, some who had problems finding the appropriate bank branch to pay into, were so determined to get the eBook, that they called and asked if they could send recharge cards of equivalent naira value to pay. I accepted, and two of them sent their payments in form of recharge card pins numbers (to my mobile phone). They got their eBooks in their mail boxes – as promised.
But what is my point here? It’s simple really.
All these people – without exception – went this far to send money to me even though they had NEVER met me, at great risk to themselves.
But the TRUTH of the matter is that they ONLY found it easy to take that leap of faith because of the articles and other resources they had gone through on my website(s), which had convinced them I was credible enough to be given a try.
That’s what Articles Marketing, and other components of a web marketing system can do for you: help you to BUILD trust and credibility in the minds of your target audience. Never bother yourself about those who say they have no time to read your stuff – quite often, they will NOT be people who need or can benefit from what you offer.
Make yourself a recognized expert FASTER. Using Article Marketing, you can make your name (or that of your company) get widely known online – and over time offline (those online will talk about you to others who are not) – through articles you write.
It’s NOT easy work, and sometimes one may not do a good job of it, but with consistent effort over time, you can expect to improve, and by so doing build a good following, that would rub off positively one way or another on you/your business.
My experiences confirm that the foregoing is a very realistic expectation you can nurse, when you start your Article Marketing campaign. Just remember to DILIGENTLY follow the best practice guidelines for using this technique – such as editorial tips provided by the articles submission directory you choose.
A description of the book states that “The best clients and customers are those who seek you out because they have already heard of you. Get Slightly Famous shows how to build visibility and credibility by positioning yourself as a valuable resource and mini-celebrity within your target market.”
Article Marketing is one VERY powerful instrument that can be used to very cost-effectively achieve EXACTLY what is stated in the above description.
Following recent sales conversations, I have come to the conclusion that many aspiring authors in my part of the world, STILL fail to see the cost, time and effort saving advantages offered by web based Print On Demand Publishing services.

1. Conventional (brick and mortar) publishers will NOT always see the GENIUS in every authors work, even if it’s there.
That’s because they are human. The owner of the work may have to fall back on his/her BELIEF to forge ahead, IN SPITE of their rejection. Historical evidence bears testimony to the accuracy of this fact.
2. Even when traditional publishers do find your work interesting, very often their fees – for the aspiring writer – can be prohibitive.
3. If you adopt web based Print On Demand publishing to get your book into the market place, you will enjoy the benefits of having potential buyers access previews of your book, towards deciding if they are going to buy. And this would happen without your having to incur anything close to what it would take to get published conventionally.
Also, you will be able to inexpensively use articles on related themes to DRAW attention and generate leads to your book’s sales page. Most importantly, since you will be using the web, it will cost you next to nothing to keep this going.
Now, wouldn’t that be better than leaving your written manuscript in your bottom drawer, waiting till you can find – and afford to pay – a conventional publisher?
The choice is yours. I certainly hope you don’t wait for ever. Indeed if you take ACTION to adopt the Print On Demand Publishing referred to above, THAT could lead to your work getting noticed by a GOOD PUBLISHER that could decide to sign you up – even if they require that you improve certain aspects.
Use what you have to get what you want…GET YOUR BOOK OUT THERE VIA THE WEB, and promote it with the passion that made you write it. Sooner than later something GOOD will happen. You’ll be better off doing that, than sitting around and waiting for a publisher to discover you!
There’s a lot to learn…those of us in Africa need to tread softly when it comes to spending heavily to get published. If/when we have to spend, let’s do so to purchase systems and resources that stretch every unit of money we spend, so we can get maximal, sustained benefits.
And That’s why I LOVE web based book publishing and marketing methods. With Print On Demand Publishing, you get your book in a ready to print/publish state at almost zero cost. The onus then falls on you to create needed marketing buzz to get people to BUY the book from its online store. Only when they buy does the provider charge a fee. Then you get your royalty.
We are in Africa. Nigeria to be specific. Most of those who read seriously enough to want to buy from us are based OVERSEAS. Our best bet is to minimise overheads and starting costs. Print On Demand Publishing offers the needed flexibility.
All of this is of course my opinion, and you have every right to think differently.
I recently discovered that some people do not take the pains to read up and understand what Print On Demand publishing entails, before they choose to argue against it!
There is a saying that “The mind is like a parachute. It works best when it is open”.
Please visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Print_on_demand for a generic introduction to Print On Demand publishing.
In working as a Web Marketing Specialist, one of my key offering to clients is “development of a Web Marketing System” that helps the client generate more business leads and/or WIN more potential customers.
To win over prospects as clients, I often provide – in easy to understand language – information and education about key web marketing system components that can be incorporated into their websites to achieve the above mentioned purpose.
The importance of the somewhat unusual service I offer out here is reflected in the fact that over 95% of those who have hired me already had existing websites – which they engaged me to re-invent by incorporate a custom web marketing system.
In case the above question has crossed your mind, you will be glad to know that you are not alone. Every CEO with a sense of responsibility has asked the same question. My answers – often given verbally in a meeting but sometimes in written form (via email) – in 70 to 75% of cases have been good enough to win me the job.
What follows below, is a reproduction of explanations I have provided prospects in the past about specific web marketing system tasks I components I will integrate into their websites (as well as tasks/activities I will carry out), and the benefits that will accrue to their business as a result.
If you want to get the kinds of results promised below, you will NEED to implement a web marketing system comprising the described components for your business on the Internet. Contact me if you need help deciding how to go about it.
Your company MUST have a “face” it presents to the world, through which it will communicate with customers and potential customers. The newsletter not only helps you stay in touch with those you know, but it also enables you use them to reach and convert those they know.
In addition, you get to make direct sales pitches to your subscribers who are more likely to be trusting and OPEN to your advances. Over time, you will find that MORE sales, requests for your services and other income-earning opportunities will come through your newsletter channeled offers. And that is why you NEED to run a regular newsletter service.
You can design a Custom Newsletter HTML template. An HTML newsletter is simply a visually embellished/enhanced version of a text based one, BUT it offers you the advantage of being able to present image based information to subscribers, which is proven to stimulate higher reading interest in subscribers.
Having said that, some subscribers may not get the HTML newsletter in the format you send it, if they use email clients that “filter” HTML emails. In Nigeria however, since majority of people use more of Free services like Yahoo!, which are HTML friendly, there are still reasonable benefits to be had.
including crafting of a promotional byline (at top directories like Ezinearticles.com) for the CEO, and/or other key officers.
It is VERY important to populate reputable directories and other marketing outlets online with your profile (formal descriptions of YOU, your BRAND, and what you do). Doing this will ensure that when someone types your name in a search engine, the RIGHT image you want to project is what they see.
In today’s world, when people meet or hear about someone that interests or concerns them, they usually immediately “Google” his/her name. It is imperative that you control the descriptions of you that come up.
By crafting a personal profile for you, and publishing it on article directories and other places online, you will boost your international exposure and appeal, while consolidating your credibility as “experts” in your field of specialisation. This is guaranteed to make your readers perceive EACH author as competent and reliable.
Do most of your website visitors get your website address from you, newspapers,and other mass media? If YES, you may have some work to do. I tell my clients that to AIM to achieve is a situation where up to 80% of those who visit your website are people who find it themselves without getting told the URL. And that’s why getting found by search engines is your best bet for achieving maximum marketing reach and impact, cost-effectively.
Articles marketing is recognised by the best business marketing specialist worldwide as a timeless marketing technique that enables you achieve optimal fame and recognition that knows no geographical limitations.
Articles marketing will bring you MORE followers through indirect channels – that is outside the reach of mass media and other advertising channels.
Many businesses tend to operate a Facebook presence with a one-sided perspective. That is to say that they let people come to them on Facebook. What you need to do is develop and implement a strategy to DELIBERATELY create additional awareness within and outside Facebook ABOUT your Facebook and website based products and services.
This is VERY important, because there will be thousands of potential followers out there who still do not know you exist. You must PUSH out (go to their social circles on Facebook and the net in general) and PULL them in to Facebook.
You will for instance deliberately participate in online forums/discussion groups and Facebook networks in discussions, making sure to add tangible value. As the opportunity presents itself, you will add your signature – or link to relevant pages on your website or Facebook page – that readers can click. In the process, some of those who follow those links will develop interest in what you offer.
It could be argued that placing a Facebook Ad would help achieve the above, BUT the reality is that the Ads are temporary (and require payment), while what I propose will leave PERMANENT or long term “trails” that others will be able to follow to get to your Facebook and website presence – AND you will not need to make payment to keep doing it FOREVER!
If you stay diligently committed to doing them regularly, you are bound to achieve measurable name/brand recognition that will be sustained for the long term, winning you favourable attention and interest from your target audience over time. Good luck!

To: Nelson Jr. s
Date: 18 Dec 2014 15:29Hi Nelson,
Like I said, I wanted to find out if you’d be taking up any of my year end promo offers.
But I realized that since you are into hog farming, the offer of my Poultry Farm Manager may not be so useful to you.
So, instead I’ve come up with something different for you as follows:
=
If you can purchase the following paperback books from my online store and have them shipped to my brother in law’s address below:Segun Ogunlana
London,
United KingdomIf you take up this offer, you get to pay only N10,192.8, instead of N12,500.Once the books are received in London, I will send you a FREE copy of my Ration Formulator fully personalized for you, along with FREE copies of my 4 part Ebook series on Best Practice Farm Business Management (see http://www.lulu.com/shop/tayo-solagbade/farm-business-best-practice-management-10-articles-and-stories-for-farm-business-owners/ebook/product-21867121.html)Plus, I will send you a FREE PDF copy of an Agribusiness research paper I was paid 2,500 Euros to write, by a Holland based NGO last December (2013). It was about the rate of adoption/use of my Ration Formulator, by Farm CEOs.The items I need you to purchase and ship to my brother in law’s in London are:A. My new Speaking IDEAS book (paperback version NOT Ebook)Price is $12 USD
See it on sale at:
http://www.lulu.com/shop/tayo-solagbade/speaking-ideas-25-articles-and-true-stories-for-experts-who-speak-and-those-aspiring-volume-1/paperback/product-21873474.htmlNumber of copies to buy: 1 copy
B. My new Kukuru Danger book (paperback version NOT Ebook)
Number of copies to buy: 3 copies
C. The Lulu.com SHIPPING/HANDLING fee for delivery of the books…
From checking at my end using the shopping cart with the intended shipping address inputted, it will be about $13 USD (The actual value shown in the checkout interface was under $13 USD)
In summary, I have worked out the total amount that A, B and C above will come to, as follows:
A. 1 copy @ $12 USD = $12 USD
B. 3 copies @ $9.60 USD each = $ 28.8 USD
C. Shipping and handling = $14 USD (worst case estimate)
Likely total cost will be $54.8 USD on the whole.
I have converted that into Nigerian Naira using an exchange rate of N186 to $1 USD (which is to your advantage, because it is currently at about N185 or less to a dollar)
That brings the $54.8 USD to N10,192.8, which is LESS than the N12,500.0 price for the Ration Formulator.
So, you get to save N2,307 (18%), and also get my other bonus gifts.
Plus, this removes the problem of sending money to me to pay for the software!
If you’re interested in taking this offer up, do let me know.
In your service,Tayo

It might also interest you to know that Nelson had earlier (on 1st Dec 2014) purchased my PDF feed formulation handbook, for $82 US Dollars from the same online store at www.lulu.com/sdaproducts
In otherwords, this was his second purchase in 4 weeks, which you will agree indicates he was satisfied with what he got the first time!
Here’s wishing you happy holidays and a prosperous 2015!
Stay tuned!
