The first issue of my Self-Development Digest newsletter was published on\u00a0Mon 5th Jun 2006. Six years later, in June 2012, it evolved into what is today my popular DAILY multidisciplinary Self-Development (SD) Nuggets blog<\/a>, on which I publish my Monday Speaking IDEAS newsletter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Truth is, it takes UNDILUTED passion to keep going, day, month and year after year ...after year(!), doing something of this sort anywhere, especially as a Nigerian\/African, living and working IN Nigeria\/Africa!.<\/p>\n

Many who start newsletters (online or off) often fail to keep it going this long<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n

I mean here in Nigeria\/Africa. Visit many Nigerian\/African owned personal and business web sites, and you will see what I mean.<\/p>\n

Many times, the newsletter issue available for viewing is rarely a current one. If at all there is one on offer. Indeed you may find mostly stale and static content!<\/p>\n

Why is this so?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Well, it's the mental attitude of our people.<\/p>\n

We are too focused on getting the benefits FIRST. We want the results we desire to come quickly.<\/p>\n

And if they don't, we begin to discontinue any tasks or activities we feel cost us too much time, effort or money compared to whatever benefits they bring us.<\/p>\n

The first to go will often be stuff that has to do with our GIVING of ourselves (e.g. newsletters\/articles), without being sure of any returns from others. <\/em><\/p>\n

What those who quit in this manner fail to realize...<\/strong><\/h3>\n

...is that most times a little persistence, and diligent refining of our methods and strategies will lead to the results we want.<\/p>\n

I am living proof that this is so<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

My emails (and phone data) subscriber database keeps growing. And I keep getting surprised by the \"increasing profiles\" of those who choose to join.<\/p>\n

More and more Nigerian professionals, corporate executives and CEOs subscribe to my newsletters.<\/p>\n

In the early years, I only had people from South Africa, America, Ghana, Cameroon, Singapore, China etc. Today, I even get enquiries from Iran, Iraq, Barbados, and Saudi Arabia (A Nigerian IT expert who works in a high profile position with a government establishment).<\/p>\n

But that's not all - many now get back to me, and buy my products, PLUS <\/strong> refer my work to others.<\/h3>\n

As a result, I have discovered online discussion forums referring to my products and web sites, and seen traffic coming my way as a result.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, people now readily make payments for different products and services I promote via my web site.<\/strong> It's so great to see people willing to take such huge leaps of faith - sending money into my account, and then WAITING for 24 to 72 hours to get emails carrying my spreadsheet software, PDF user guides etc that they paid for.<\/p>\n

There must be something I know - that others who say it does not work DON'T!<\/em><\/p>\n

[NB: I should add here that most of what I say here is with regard to my spontaneousdevelopment.com<\/p>\n

I refer to my former 9 year old primary domain that I lost on 4th May 2014.<\/p>\n

Having said that, within less than a month of that happening, I moved - and refocused my content - on to tayosolagbade.com, drawing on what I learnt over they years, about my sales leads sources.. <\/strong><\/p>\n

And it's really paid off.<\/p>\n

My web site conversation ratio has basically increased more than 3 fold today justifying my decision to NOT buy back my old domain from those who took it over<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It also validates my argument that domain names are NO LONGER as crucial to web marketing success as the QUALITY of web marketing content one turns out<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Do you need to get word out about yourself\/what you do to others? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

I urge you to start your own web based newsletter today.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make sure you have a professional mailing list management software (I use a FREE one, that is extremely powerful) to send it out to subscribers, (and to sign them up).<\/p>\n

Actually, you'll also do well to run a blog - branded to subtly \"sell\" you (or your products\/services) to your target audience.<\/p>\n

In fact, to really get good value for your money or time, your best bet is to develop and implement a custom Web Marketing System(WMS).<\/h3>\n

I say that based on my decade long experience using the Internet to find buyers.<\/p>\n

That will costs almost nothing, in the long term, when compared to what you spend using traditional marketing and advertising media e.g. TV, Radio, and Print.<\/p>\n

For instance, apart from saving you lots of time, effort and money, a WMS will keep working even while you're sleeping, attracting potential buyers via search engines and other channels.<\/p>\n

This way you get a regular stream of sales leads naturally generated without your raising a finger.<\/p>\n

I estimate that I close over 80% of such leads that come my way. And easily too. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

How come?<\/p>\n

Well, it's because my WMS will often have done the hard job of \"educating and convincing\" them that I have what they need, BEFORE they contact me. Indeed THAT is why they go out of their way to contact me. <\/strong><\/p>\n

As a result, they typically come to me one or two steps away from buying!<\/em><\/p>\n

3 typical questions they ask me are:<\/h3>\n

(a)<\/strong>. How much is it?<\/p>\n

(b).<\/strong> How do I pay<\/p>\n

...and...<\/em><\/p>\n

(c)<\/strong>. How do I get it, after I pay.<\/p>\n

Would it not be wonderful if you also had a system that so prepared buyers that they came to you READY to do business?<\/h3>\n

A system that helps you screen out those time wasters who are just curious?<\/p>\n

I bet you would LOVE to have such a system in place, working for you 24\/7 - like it does for me!<\/em><\/p>\n

A WMS can get you such tangible results - and at low to zero cost - forever. <\/strong><\/p>\n
