in blogging, issues like creating a profitable blog niche, choosing a
blogging topic to build your articles around, choosing an ideal domain
name , brands awareness, traffic generation , search engine optimization
challenges among others, Nigerian bloggers have a peculiar challenges
they must face , of which each and every new blogger should know:
· Lack of electricity: this may sound somehow, but believe me. This is a serious problem, lack of power to recharge your laptop is one of the problem that a typical Nigerian bloggers are facing, no one will tell you this until when you delve into world of blogging, any experienced blogger knows this, you will observe that blogging need your time as a starter, at least 8 hours a day , then tell me where will you see light to recharge your laptop and blog like your counterpart in other part of the world.
· Lack of reliable internet connectivity: in most advanced nation, this is not a problem at all, in fact there are even free internet access in some cases, but in Nigeria reverse is the case, more than 90% of Nigerian bloggers rely on internet service providers from telecommunication network like mtn, glo, airtel etc. Most of the internet services provided by this companies are slow, very exorbitant and most of the time not available and therefore are not reliable.
· Lack of reliable online payment platform: the world most trusted online payment provider is now the paypal, a company that blacklisted Nigeria, Nigerians are only allowed to spend but never allowed to receive money. There are money company that integrated paypal as their only method of payment and therefore in other way sidelining Nigerians. The only reliable alternative is make payment through proxy in paypal “white-listed” countries or to use direct credit or debit card payment which is risky.
This poses a serious challenges to most new Nigerian bloggers who may try to obtain their domain name or pay for any online services. also many successful Nigerian bloggers have one story or the other to tell, on how they get their hard earned affiliate commissions trapped in paypal .
· Social stigma; many Nigerian youths, even graduate do not know that common blogger can earn a living online, some believe that you can only make it when you indulge in fraud and internet-scams aka yahoo-yahoo. Therefore the first impression you will receive the moment that people know that you are making money online is a negative one, this has a moral implication to the blogger and his personality and this is bad for a good business.
All these challenges listed above are only faced by Nigerian bloggers, as most international bloggers faces none of the above, therefore whenever any aspiring blogger or web developer want to delve into the world of the blogosphere he/she should know that he will face challenges of electricity , internet access and may not even make a simple update not to talk of integrating seo and it its likes
