10 REASONS TO CHOOSE MODELLING AS A CAREER PATH.

Modelling is a career anyone can venture into and be successful either
full time or part time. To become a top model does not mean that you
have to be the most handsome or the most beautiful person.


Some people often think the modelling world is only meant for the
beautiful or handsome one which isnt so. You can start up a
modelling career now and also have your current job or business
running at the same time.


Although, there modelling career is closely related to the beauty and
fashion world, but it is still a distinct field of its own and has
much to offer to anyone interested. Let me quickly inform you of few
tips you need to know before becoming a model;


1) You can start at any age: Age is not a barrier.

2) Modelling is fun. You cant be a model and have a dull lifestyle.

3) Don't go into modelling for the money only, in-fact, ignore the monetary
aspect don't focus manly on the career itself to get the most out of it.

4) You can set up a modelling career or platform without being a model
yourself. However, being a model even if its for a short time is an added
advantage.

5) As a model, you are bound to have connections across the globe if you
are good at what you do.

6) You can make it an additional source of income for yourself and for your
family. In-fact, you can make it a family business and it does not cost
much to start up.

7) You can get invitations to attend world modelling event if your are so
creative.

8) You can also become a star overnight just from a simple photograph or
modelling activity.

9) You can always be a model and enjoy the lifestyle you have always
dreamt-off.

10) You can be a model and live a decent lifestyle. That you are going
into modelling does not mean you are going to become a prostitute or
live and awkward lifestyle. Far from it, you can be a top model and
still be a decent and morally upright person. Its up to you now.

TOP 20 FOREX TRADING MISTAKES AND SECRETS OF SOME TRADING PLATFORMS.

Are you considering trading FOREX?

Have you ever traded FOREX?

Do you have the intention to return back to FOREX trading?

Before you take that bold step to invest your hard earned fund into FOREX,
there are some few tips or advice I wish to share with you. If you can take
note of these few tips, it will help you. You can read the first 10
tips on the image above, while tips 11-20 are my own personal
experience in the business.

11) Never invest an amount you cant afford to loose.

12) Never accumulate your earnings to an amount you cant afford to loose in
your online FOREX account. This includes both your investment and profit
already made. In-fact, once you make profit of 50% to 100% of your
investment, please withdraw immediately.

13) Resist your personal FOREX broker temptation and advice to make you
invest very big. The truth of the matter is this, men are in sizes and life
is in phases, and always cut your cloth according to your size . Your
personal FOREX broker is on a paid salary to the online FOREX platform and
will not jeopardise his job just for you to make profit at the detriment of
his company. Sometimes, your personal broker may advise you to invest
big or more, please be careful, only invest what you can afford to
loose because your personal broker is only doing his or her own job
and may even get rewarded to make
you invest big in the platform. Your Broker is not too different than
a bank marketer. They have targets too.

14) Your personal broker will not tell you everything. You will learn some
things the hard way so be prepared.

15). Do not depend or become over excited when promised bonus on
funding your online FOREX account by your FOREX platform. Some
platforms would promise you 100% bonus , some others 200%, 400% and
don't be surprised if you even see up to 1000 % bonus.

If you see these kind of mouth watering offer, be very careful and
make sure you look carefully and ensure your safety is guaranteed
before you leap. I have come to realize that , on some platforms, all
these bonus offers can not be withdrawn until certain profit level,
which means you have to trade more to make profit before you can
withdraw your profit and the bonus together.

On some other platform, you can only get the bonus if you fund your
account within a time frame or deadline or with a particular amount.
Finally, on some platforms, the bonuses promised are just dummy value
which has no significant impact on your account.

You may actually see the balance on your account increase, but when
you place trade, you are actually trading with your own funds and not
the bonus given to you. This is from my own personal observation, so
you must be very careful with the platform you choose to trade with.
Sometimes, the bonus is just a psychological thing causing a
psychological effect on you to invest more and feel secure with the
platform.

If you ever want to be sure if the bonus given to you is actually
yours, request for withdrawal after you have been credited with the
bonus without trading and see what happens or request for full
withdrawal with the bonus after making a few profit and you will
realize that these trading platforms are not running a charity
organization. Rules, terms and conditions that were silent and that
you were never told would suddenly emerge.


16) Trade only when you are around, ignore stop loss or take profit.

17). Have a profit target for the day and a loss target of the day.

18). Do not trade your account to critical limits. Once you get alert
that your tradable margins are low, try to close some trade and get
more trade margins.

19). Do not fear to trade other currencies or commodities that you
were not told.

20) . You must be very flexible and smart as the business you are
venturing into is highly volatile in nature. Always verify the
authenticity of a platform before you start trading. You can ask
Google if a particular FOREX platform is real or fake and read up the
result and recommendations given by traders before you decide on the
platform to invest with.

FOREX is still one good business I can advise anyone to venture into,
it is 100% legal but not with the sole aim of turning millionaire
over night .If you have any question, please feel free to ask by

TOP 10 ONLINE STORES & MALLS IN NIGERIA

Have you ever bought anything online here in Nigeria lately? How would you rate the efficiency and trust level of the store or mall you patronized. If you are about wondering how to go about buying something online for the very first time and just trying to choose the best online store or mall, this post is just for you. We have listed  some online stores here in Nigeria whose service(s) are exceptional based on shoppers patronage. Some of these stores includes the following below;








1). KONGA: This is the top leading online mall in Nigeria and their service is very ok. Customers satisfaction with the site is very high.You can visit them at www.konga.com

2). JUMIA: This is also a top online store in Nigeria and any little error or lapses from KONGA would make Jumia to take the lead position, so KONGA needs to be very careful because JUMIA is determined to take lead position. You can visit them at www.jumia.com

3). TAAFOO: . An elder is an elder , no matter if he or she wears rag or not and it is good to always respect an elder. I call taafoo the elder of all online stores and malls in Nigeria. You may not know that this site has been in existence long before the other online stores, but I guess the reason why they could not get much publicity is due to their advertorial. They could not make outstanding advert blast like the way Jumia and Konga are lavishing funds on adverts.  Well, they can still do their home work well because when it comes to making your presence known online and getting popular, you must consider both online and offline advert blast. You can visit them at www.taafoo.com

4). KAYMU: This is also an online store I can vouch for. The site is very flexible, growing silently and making waves. I consider this site very smart and dont be surprise if they suddenly outbeat KONGA and JUMIA put together in a twinkle of an eye. You can visit them at http://www.kaymu.com.ng/

5). OLX: I would not want to regard OLX as an online mall or store, but people are getting things bought in terms of goods and services and they too are growing strong. So lets give them a position too, they worth it. You can visit them at www.olx.com

6). BUYAM: As the name suggest''  buy-am''. Just visit the site and buy what you want . Not too popular but doing their things the way they can and people are gettings things bought. You can visit them at www.buyam.com.ng

7). SLOT: Who could ever believe that slot would also come on the list.  Slot already has a strong offline presence when it comes to mobile phone sales and now they are competing strongly for online presence. Kudos slot, you can visit them at www.slotlimited.com

8). WEBMALL: This is another online store that is coming up. You might be wondering who they are, but  these guys are really putting up a bold online presence. You can visit them at www.webmallng.com

9). YESIDE: This is an online store with special focus on fashion. Though, a single niche, but they too are online anyway and making sales. You can visit them too at www.yesidefashionstore.com

10). DEALDAY: You know in a class of 10 students, the student that comes first and the one that comes last always last long in memory. If dealday should find her on number 10 on my list, she would call me right away for questions, but I decided to make her number 10 not because she is really no.10 but just to put her on the spot light. She is actually in between 3-5 and another reason is that, I cant really say if its an online shopping mall or store,...hmmmm...ok let me think a little more....,now I have made up my mind, she is whatever you say she is. If you have not been visiting dealday as a shopper online, you need to uninstall your browser right now. Dealday is very good online store and they have a world class classic website, and you will find amazing thing there to buy [goods and services ]. You can visit them at http://www.dealdey.com/

There are still many NIGERIAN online stores out there that needs to be recognized and I would love to see you add them up to the list we have here using the comment box below ...choa chao.

OFFLINE MALLS vs ONLINE MALLS IN NIGERIA.

Shopping and the way people shop has changed tremendously over the years and would continue to change. Gone are the years when people do their shopping around their houses and in near-by streets or markets. Today, shopping has gone to another level entirely and has been splited into two which are:

1). OFFLINE SHOPPING MALLS

2). ONLINE SHOPPING MALLS

OFFLINE SHOPPING MALLS: Many offline shopping malls should have gained a solid ground in the online terrain had it been they tapped into the power of the internet earlier, but reverse is the case. The cost of running an offline shopping mall can not be compared with the cost of running online shopping mall. This does not mean that offline shopping malls are not making sales or thriving and having the patronage they desire. There are many advantages in setting up offline shopping malls and an example of a successful offline shopping mall is 'SHOPRITE'.

ONLINE SHOPPING MALLS: Online shopping malls is the big wave in town now. Many Nigerians now prefer buying goods from the comfort of their home or rooms than going through the stress of traffic and long queue in offline shopping malls. Some people may actually think that offline shopping malls translated into online shopping malls, but that's not the case or maybe online shopping malls just emerged out of the blue, but the idea to setup an online shopping mall was there waiting all the time to be tapped until someone finally tapped into it and brought to existence the mighty 'KONGA'.

I would not say that online shopping malls are better-off offline shopping malls and vice versa, they both have their unique merits and demerits, but what I look forward to seeing in the nearest future is an ''HYBRID SHOPPING MALL'', though, the hybrid shopping mall is my self created word and and idea . 

An ''HYBRID SHOPPING MALL''would be a kind of mall where online shopping malls would also have a strong offline shopping mall presence and vice versa and I hope the offline and online shopping mall giants [Shoprite and Konga] would look into this concept before another unique brand comes out of the blue to gladden the hearts of shoppers.
