The Nigeria Industry today is really run and carried along by three artists and the rest are following there steps considering what they have done in the industry Namely:

The negative effects of drug abuse on Nigerian youths can't be over-emphasized. A young man who was high on drugs on Easter day - collapsed and began behaving strangely near a river in Delta state. According to online reports, the man allegedly took marijuana, tramadol among other drugs in an attempt to get himself high on the festive day.

Rather than get himself high, he got himself low by collapsing on the ground where he stayed for some minutes before he entered the river to cool off his ''hot'' brain.

He was filmed by a friend/resident who mocked him as he behaved strangely.

With my experience in the industry, let’s say about 5yrs wink what I’m about to write here is the truth, nothing but the truth.

As an up & coming artiste, if you are making these mistakes and you are not ready to make a U-turn, you will forever remain an upcoming artiste.

For the sake of those who are passionate about their craft, here is a list of things you should take note of if you wish to become a known and celebrated act.

NOTE:- Life is sweet at the Top  Ask Wizkid, Davido, Olamide, 2face, 9ice and the likes. They once went through hell but now everything has turn into a thing of the past. You can do the same.

Many Nigerians take photos to catch fun and capture memories. Most of these pictures are ultimately uploaded on the social media for comments and likes.

However, the internet has evolved such that while some people are catching fun, others are earning big time. Who says you can’t do both? In this article, you will learn how to start making money from your photos and the websites that are interested in helping you sell. 

Today, the internet is evolving to feature pictures than ever. The adage “a picture speaks better than a thousand words” is fast becoming a reality. Thousands of books, journals, websites and brands depend on pictures to enhance their readability and to drive home the message. 

What kind of pictures can you sell?

You can literally sell any kind of photo online. However, these photos should be the ones you took yourself. It must be copyright-free and not the public domain photos on the internet. Public domain photos are simply pictures with no copyright on them and can be used commercially by websites and businesses for free. 

How do you start earning?

1. Pick a niche
Like every other kind of businesses on the internet, there are niches when it comes to photos too. Every successful photographer has the kind of photographs he takes. An important factor you should consider when choosing your niche is how often you can take shots. Consistency should be the watchword.

Here are some of the niches in demand
• Pictures of people
• Pictures of work situations
• Pictures of cities
• Close-up pictures
• Pictures of things (cars, houses, books, computers, etc)
• Pictures of nature
• Pictures of animals 

2. Join a stock photo website
There are many popular stock photo website on the internet you can start earning from. These sites accept the photos of both amateurs and professionals alike. If you’re an amateur photographer, sites like Dreamstime, Shutterstock amd iStock photos are good for you. But if you’re a professional photographer and you’re confident of your skills, you should check out Getty Images or Corbis. 

Furthermore, you need to understand that these websites have their unique requirements and themes. If you don’t follow the stated guidelines, your photos can be rejected. These requirements often include the resolution, size, file format etc. So take out time to understand the requirements. 

It’s advised you check out as many sites as you can and register with 2 or 3 that you think you can work with. It doesn’t mean you should upload one picture on all three websites as that could create issues for you. Instead, the reason is that you can upload different types of pictures on various sites thereby increasing your chances to earn more.

3. Start taking photographs

You can begin taking photos of people, places or things your creativity suggests. It is best that you take different types of photos with different tones, positions and different subjects. Your earning potential is based on how many people your pictures appeal to. While you are taking these photos, always think like the buyers and consider what they would want when you take the pictures. 

You need to also ensure that the photos are of high quality. No one would buy images that are of inferior standard. So ensure the images you select to put up have balanced colour, are not blurry and the details are evident for the buyer to see. Don’t forget the requirements of the stock photo site you want to upload to so your works won’t be rejected. In addition, editing the pictures is advised but it should not be in excess.

Having / Owing a blog is everyone passion and choice, but whole and behold there are somethings that need to be in place in order to manage your blog effectively. In this post, I will shed light on how quickly you can start managing a blog.

Steps to Start a Blog as Quickly as Possible
Although creating a blog might sound like a complicated task, it’s truly only as complex as you make it. The first steps in creating a blog are:
1. State your blogging mission.
2. Pick a CMS.
3. Find a web host.
4. Decide on a domain.
5. Choose a blog theme or template.
After that, you’re ready to begin writing superb content.

Step 1: Define Your Blogging Mission
Before you start a website management, think about your blog’s focus. While some bloggers have comprehensive coverage of several topics.

A few years back, I ran some blog dedicated to musics, sports, jokes and comedy and the likes. And here I am today. Above all, what blogging need is concentration and endurance, If you have that in you, I bet it that you won't have problem having a blog.

Just as important as a concentration, define your goals. Is this a creative outlet? Are you building a portfolio to launch a writing career? Do you have aspirations of monetizing and making money blogging? Define your blog’s focus and your motivation for starting a blog before you begin creating your website.

Step 2: Select a CMS
There are loads of quality content management systems available. Since we’re focusing on free methods to begin blogging, our options differ a bit from paid options. Although you won’t find any shortage of free blogging services, be aware that most free platforms come with limitations. These may be offset with upgrades though, so when or if you find a need for premium features, there’s a clear upgrade path.

In addition to free CMS platforms, you’ll find paid platforms. Almost every free offering includes paid tiers. But some blogging services only provide paid plans.

WordPress
WordPress.org is free to use, but you’ll need web hosting and a domain. This typically runs anywhere from $3 to $10 a month. Alternatively, you may host your blog yourself which requires server or cloud space. Setting up a
self-hosted WordPress blog for free is possible though.

Originally, I began blogging with a free WordPress.com site. After a few years of running that blog, I sought to create a more professional website (not a blog) and launched a self-hosted WordPress.org site. Its enormous library of themes and plugins that makes WordPress.com a fantastic choice for blogging. Since there are tons of resources and tutorials, it’s simple to get started.

With WordPress, changing themes is unchallenging . Additionally, if you reach a point where you’d like to create a self-hosted site rather than a free blog, it’s incredibly easy to transform a free WordPress.com blog into a more professional site.

Best for: Beginners to professionals

Pros:
- Free (both WordPress.org and WordPress.com).
- Tons of support.
- Lots of themes and plugins.

Cons:
- WordPress.org requires hosting
Free WordPress.com sites not compatible with plugins or premium themes (paid upgrades available).

Blogger (Google Blogspot) 

For the majority of users seeking a free blog, Blogger is a solid choice. Like WordPress, you’ll find third-party templates. Although, many of these third-party offerings are pretty poor quality, whereas WordPress premium themes and even some free themes, offer lovely design elements.

Because Google owns Blogger, they could simply nix the service anytime, forcing you to find a new blogging platform. It’s admittedly a basic CMS, which is a benefit for some users but will leave more tech-savvy users wanting.

Thankfully, switching between WordPress and Blogger isn’t difficult. Although Blogger and WordPress differ, they carry some similarities as well.

Best for: [/b]Beginners

[b]Pros:
- Free
- Intuitive
- Google-owned.

Cons:
- Bad quality free themes
- Very basic

Tumblr

Although many CMS options are hosted, social media sites can be great for blogging. Tumblr is a solid choice, though it’s better suited to microblogging than long-form content creation. In fact, Tumblr is more akin to a social media site with its inclusions such as following blogs, reblogging, and integrated content sharing tools.

Since it’s free, ridiculously easy to use, and popular, Tumblr is a great pick for basic blogging purposes. Notably, microbloggers focused on photography or video may appreciate Tumblr.
Packed with free themes, Tumblr is a great site for blogging which makes gaining quality followers simple.

Best for : [/b]Beginners, microbloggers

[b]Pros:
- Social media integration
Microblogging-oriented
- Excellent for video, photography, GIFs, and more
- Lots of themes

Cons:
- Basic themes
- Difficult to back up and export Tumblr site

Step 3: Find a Host
After deciding upon a blogging platform, you may need a host. Some services such as WordPress.com include a host, but for a paid WordPress.org site, you’ll need a host. 

The easiest route is using a host such as Hostgator, Bluehost, GoDaddy, iPage, or SiteBuilder if you want to host your blog with an abroad hosting company.

But if you want to host your blog with Nigeria Web Hosting Company, the lists of local webhost in Nigeria is as follow:

- WhoGoHost
- TfHost
- CertaSpace

Step 4: Select a Domain Name
Define and get a good name for your blog (e.g www.example.com). Make sure that the name you're to chose is suitable with your blog niche in order to attract site visitors.

Common Domain Name Provider
- Namecheap
- Whogohost
- GoDaddy
- BlueHost

Customize Your Blog
Once you’ve stated your mission, decided upon a CMS, found a web host, and selected a domain, it’s time to begin customizing your site. Largely, you’ll perform this through different themes and plugins. Depending on your CMS, where you can get these varies.

Themeforest.net is a great location for themes, and that’s where I snagged the theme for my website. You’ll also find tons of themes, plugins, and more at Creative Market.

Thankfully, tons of
no-coding templates exist for building a personal website.

Ultimately, there’s much to consider when starting a blog. However, it’s not difficult , and you can begin blogging almost immediately with the right platform. I highly suggest WordPress as a blogging platform for everyone from beginners to seasoned bloggers.
