Earning Online as a Nigerian Blogger in 2018 By @Naijablogger

This is my Second post after My Introductory Message Yesterday here on Steemit and ya'll be showing me love!, Quite in a Good Mood Today and I want to share Some tips on Earning as a blogger in Nigeria since we are all Writers here and that makes us bloggers writing on various Niche.. I will be Explaining the Benefits and Disadvantages of Each based on What I know.

So Enjoy.

1:) GOOGLE ADSENSE:: I'm starting with Adsense because this is the Most Popular way of Earning for Most bloggers in Nigeria including me, According to Wikipedia, Google AdSense is a program run by Google that allows publishers in the Google Network of content sites to serve automatic text, image, video, or interactive media advertisements, that are targeted to site content and audience.

Google Adsense Serves as a Major income source for most Nigerian bloggers because you can create a blog or Youtube Page and by Posting quality and original content within a month, you can get approved and start running ads even if your blog is on a free platform like BLOGGER where your blog will be hosted by Google at a subdomain of blogspot.com .

I Know Quite a lot of Nigerian Bloggers who make so much on Adsense and go change their domains whenever they get banned from the program, and reapply Because Considering the Current situation in Nigeria where $1 is About N350 ., Any Job paying in USD if Quite worth the Effort. lol

But Google Adsense isn't as Easy as it sounds, One Major Reason is that Nigerian traffic, as well as Most African Countries traffic, have declined in worth over the years, so most bloggers Receiving majorly Nigerian traffic get an Average CPC [Cost-Per-Click] of $0.06-$0.14 USD and Page RPM [Revenue per Thousand Impressions] of $0.60-$2.00 USD .

What Impact your earnings most is the Quality of the content you are publishing on your blog and where your readers are coming from [A lot of other Factors also determine your earnings - You can look it up here on Google Adsense Page!., But these are the most important 2.

If You Know more about Adsense, feel free to share with us in the comment section.

1:) FACEBOOK INSTANT ARTICLES (I.A):: This is Kind of Lowkey in Nigeria., It was launched less than 3years ago with only access to some top websites and initially available only on Facebook's iPhone app and by 2016 it was rolled out to all publishers, This is one of the top Alternatives to Google Adsense for people with large followers on Facebook, Even if you don't have large followers, look out for my future posts as I will be explaining how you can grow your facebook Page Fast and Easy..

According to Wikipedia, Instant Articles is a feature from social networking company Facebook for use with collaborating news and content publishers, that the publisher can choose to use for articles they select. When a publisher selects an article for Instant Articles, people browsing Facebook in its mobile app can see the entire article within Facebook's app, with formatting very similar to that on the publisher's website.

The Cool thing About Facebook IA is They Don't have Strict Rules like Adsense, they Approve within 5 Business Days or Less, All You Need is a Facebook Page and a blog to Connect to it and Make at least 10 Posts for Review, The Payout is Quite Exactly like Adsense mode of Payments and you can have Adsense on your blog and still Run Facebook I.A and Earn From both Simultaneously as you post on your blog.. Sounds Cool Right? - The Major Way You Earn on I.A is when people View the BlogPosts on Your Page via the Facebook App - You can Read more on I.A and Sign up Here

The Disadvantage of I.A is That You lose Website Traffic, Once your blog is linked to Facebook I.A, When people click your links, instead of taking them to your website where they can see your google ads, private ads and read other posts on your page, It Opens the link inside the Facebook App and That's where the Entire article will be Read with Facebook Ads Displaying.
Based on Statistics from Nigerian Bloggers Running I.A ., Only About 10% of Your Facebook traffic eventually gets to your website.

Always Remember: Quality Content is Key..

So let's Start with These 2 I just Explained (Google Adsense, Facebook I.A) as a way to add to our Streams of Income online before I Drop some More that I know of that really works in Nigeria...
