FACEBOOK ROBBERY ! ! !

Keeping a strict privacy on Facebook is of great importance, due to the large number of activities on the social networking site. A 17 year old girl who resides in Australia uploaded a photo of  large pile of money in her hand, while she was helping her grand mum count her savings. Few hours after the photo was uploaded, two masked men traced the location of the girl, and travelled with the intention of stealing the money. On reaching there, the girl wasn't around, also the money was no longer in the house, but they made away with little money they found in the house. The image was uploaded at 4pm on Thursday 24th of May, and by 11pm that same day the masked men arrived.

NEW FACEBOOK 'STAR YOUR CLOSE FRIENDS' FEATURE

Facebook recently introduced a new feature to their network tagged 'Star Your Close Friends', this enables you see more of your close friends update on your news feed and also helps to categorize your friends.

MTN NIGERIA PROMO SCAM ALERT

It's quite unfortunate that some folks are still into the dirty act of scamming fellow Nigerians. I know that there's nothing we can do to stop them, because it's turning into a way of life, but at-least We can notify our friends about their latest acts so they don't fall victim.

My elder sister recently received an SMS on her phone in this format:

"Yello!! Your number have win 50,000 Naira AIRTIME. In The MTN 1 Billion Award. Visit {www.mtncan.org} For Your Line To Be Now. Your Code is 3232"

At first I knew this was a typical Scam Message due to the poor grammatical constructions e.t.c. On a second thought I decided to check the website, and this is what I got:

GETTING STARTED

FACEBOOK FANPAGE BUSINESS (part1)

I've spent the past few months working on a Facebook project. A friend introduced me to a new online business, at first I saw it as crab, but on a second thought I decided to check it out, since there's no harm in trying. In this post I'll be giving the basics of this new business. Hopefully, later on I'll throw more light on it.

We all know that Facebook is one of the most popular social networking site on the the Internet, and has got lots of potentials. Many in the past harnessed the potentials of this great site and made good money from it. This business got no specific name, but I tagged it Facebook Fanpage Business.

WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT?

SMS MARKETING TOOL FOR YOR BUSINESS

As an entrepreneur you might at one point asked your self which marketing medium will be best for your business. There are lots of marketing media one can use, but the most frequently used on the internet is email marketing. Most entrepreneurs make use of email marketing, but that doesn't mean it is the best or it converts best. What every business owner want is the best possible means to reach his customers/audience, and I don't think Email Marketing is the right medium to get that. Why?

• Do you know 90% of all emails are spam? Compare that to only 1% of text messages.

• Do you know that only 34% of people use their mobile phones to email? Compare that to 72% of people who use text messaging on their mobile phones.

• Do you know that only 22% of all emails are opened? Compare that to 98% of text messages.

• Do you know the average person receives 1,216 emails per month? Compare that to only 178 text messages.

All these are statistical reasons why SMS Marketing is better of than Email Marketing. I was discussing with a colleague about Marketing Campaigns, after giving him reasons why I prefer SMS Marketing to Email Marketing, his question was "... is there any good SMS Marketing Tool online?". When I say SMS Marketing Tool I don't just mean Bulk SMS Service, it means more than just that.
There are certain features in an SMS Marketing Tool which is not in a Bulk SMS Service, like
1. SMS CONTEST: Allows customers to enter a contest from their mobile phone

 via Text Message. This is an amazing unique service which you'll not find in a Bulk SMS service. SMS Marketing Tools should also be able to randomly choose the winner of the contest in seconds.

Review: Mocality Agent Program

Maybe you've heard or read of Mocality Agent Program going on for Nigerians. If you haven't, let me do a little introduction about it.

Mocality is a Nigeria Online Business Directory that started last year, they began a program recently which they tagged 'Mocality Agent' where they reward people (agents) for registering companies on their directory. At first I was very much interested in joining their Agent program, but later got discouraged when I saw the terms and conditions applied. I'll do a run down review on the rules involved in the program.

RULE 1:

What You Need To Succeed Online

I was chatting with a close friend of mine sometime ago, and he was like "Ifeanyi how come you know so much about Internet business and IT?". Looking at him from the other side of the table, there was only one answer to that question and that is "GOOGLE.COM". Are you surprised? Don't be, many folks neglect the power of this website maybe because of it's popularity. Some people believe that there's a secret website out there where on-line folks login to make money, my dear there's no such thing as secret website. Google is my most visited website, I can't do without it because there's always something new I want to learn, and you know Information is WEALTH.
