As you grow older, certain things become priorities in your life. You might think you have it all figured out, but sometimes you become deluded by the little success you have achieved in your endeavors. I would agree, that I am guilty of this, and I am working towards fixing my life fully with a focussed goal and a written plan in a business plan format.

Enough self directed motivation pep talk, so whats going on with me? A lot actually, most I cant discuss here due to the confidentiality clause etc, anyway a new E-commerce site in Nigeria has sprung up, pretty cool if you ask me, and well stocked too.

You should check them out. Its name is flegz, and it was founded by a friend of mine. The shop is located in Lagos, provides free shipment within Lagos and their website is at http://www.flegz.com, you should check it out, they might have a thing or two you might be interested in buying. I wanted to write a review, but I decided not too for now.

We developed a very interesting income model at Advertfarm.com that many members have been asking me about. The response has been phenomenal.

The model involves getting paid to receive an SMS, which I think is a pretty cool feature, considering that you get informed plus you get paid to be informed.

What we do is actually allocate a percentage of our income from our sponsors to our members. Its a revenue sharing model that ensures that everybody is happy.

We are currently in talks with some sponsors, and they are very excited about the market we are exposing them too. So If you have not registered, please do so at www.advertfarm.com. We are only currently accepting 1000 members, we have less than 500 more to go, as you don’t want to miss out in this outstanding service of making money from your mobile phone, while on the move.

For Immediate Release:

Advertfarm, a mobile content network, has emerged today from private beta. This start-up is privately funded and based in Lagos, Nigeria. Advertfarm, as a stand-alone company, focuses on delivering mobile contents to users across Africa through Short Message Services (SMS). Our services include but not limited to SMS marketing, SMS Recruitment, Events Broadcasting, Sponsored Mobile Services and Mobile Alerts.

Advertfarm provides advertisers with permission-based targeted marketing. These advertisements are delivered to subscribers based on specific interests and demographics. Advertfarm only sends its network members localized subscribed mobile content that matches their interest, and gives them total control of when they want to receive it, and how frequently they want to receive it through settings available on the Advertfarm platform.

With over 200 million mobile subscribers in Africa, Advertfarm allows advertisers to target a specific base of consumers in a meaningful way while allowing them to see a much higher rate of return on their investment. The system is developed to fully ensure that advertisers do not waste money on a demographic target that is irrelevant to their goals.

The Advertfarm network has a strict privacy policy on all data collected from its members. The Advertfarm mobile content delivery solution is the first of its kind in Africa as they not only deliver permission-based content to their subscribers but also pay their subscribers for subscribing.

Meanwhile, Advertfarm rewards its subscribed members through a revenue sharing model. The income earned by members of the network is automatically sent to the ATM cards attached to their account.

Advertfarm is currently running its pilot mode only in Nigeria and will launch it 2-WAY SMS interactive system by July 2009. This system would include features such as “SMS Service Un-subscription” where subscribers to a particular service could un-subscribe for certain services without having to visit the web portal. We will be launching services in other African countries in the next quarter.

if only Network marketers could spend the amount of time they spend promoting other products to promote their own businesses and services.

Then perhaps Network Marketing organizations would go broke, and New ideas, businesses or even start-ups would thrive and flourish.

Is self Motivation, Loyalty and Discipline dead? Or are we just naturally insecure and gullible to promises of a likelihood fortune through promises and assurances from third parties?

If I walk up to my friends, family and even strangers, and tell them about my products, services and its benefits. Imagine the potential market and awareness, I can create?

But we don’t do that, do we? I suppose not, we surely are very insecure about our own business or services, Or perhaps its an oversight?

Thought provoking isn’t it?

Do you promote your businesses and services to your friends, family or even strangers?

Let me know how you promote your businesses and services. I currently only use business cards. Perhaps I can learn a thing or two from you my readers.
