How to receive daily credit alerts for the rest of your life

My friend Nelly and I have been touring various cities across Nigeria, teaching and connecting with business owners. While in Portharcourt, we met a young man who decided one day in 2016 that he would do some drastic changes to his life and the changes will lead him to earn every day.

He says it is now over 900 days and he has received a credit alert every single day of his life, and he says absolutely anyone can reproduce this story. You only need to do two simple things.

In this post, I will be teaching these two things and the steps he shared that he followed.

Decision determines destiny and friend Emmanuel taught me this simple but powerful lesson.

He has spent the last over 900 days of his life receiving credit bank alerts every day, after making a decision he would get a credit alert, even if only 1000 Naira ($2); but a customer must pay him every day.

After taking the decision, he went on to research what he must do for it to happen. He finally found these 2 simple but powerful things.

Here are the two things:

1. Create a low-priced product that can sell every day and wrap that product into a great Offer
2. Create a never-ending traffic source that never runs dry

Here is how Emmanuel applied these 2 ideologies.

He made a 1000 Naira Course that teaches small businesses to use WhatsApp – THIS IS THE LOW-PRICED PRODUCT THAT CAN SELL EVERYDAY.

He then added some extra bonuses (free ebooks) to anyone who purchases the Course – THIS IS THE PART OF WRAPPING IT INTO A GREAT OFFER

Then after teaching the business owners who pay the 1000 Naira, he would ask you to share a simple message to your WhatsApp status so that he taps into your own network of family and friends – THIS IS THE TRAFFIC SOURCE THAT NEVER RUNS DRY

He also runs paid Facebook adverts continuously (as little as 1000 Naira ($2) a day is sufficient – THIS IS ALSO ANOTHER SOURCE OF TRAFFIC THAT NEVER RUNS DRY

… and that’s it.

Emmanuel did these 2 things and he has received credit alerts every day.

Now let’s look at how Caroline, my friend, and I discussed her own daily-alert plan.

Caroline’s mum, before her death, used to run a local massage home where pregnant women come to get a massage for their body and feet. It helps them relieve pains and pregnancy stress.

Caroline had learnt the skill from her mum but was unclear how she could make money from it by putting a modern touch to it.

I had a quick session with her and here’s what we came up with:

Low-priced product = Weekly body, tummy and feet massage for pregnant women at 4000 Naira per visit

Offer = 2 pieces of lactation cookies to help boost breast milk production while pregnant and access to a WhatsApp group with other pregnant women who are supporting themselves by sharing their cravings, their body changes, their fears, their meals and also helping first-time mums. (The cookies cost her 300 Naira to buy from the producer).

Constant traffic source = Sign up a deal with 20 maternity one-man-owned hospitals, offering them 1000 Naira to refer expected mums to her for weekly massage; they earn on each visit the expectant mum makes for her massage.

As an extra traffic source, Caroline will also run Facebook Ads, targeting people within her locality.

Even though Caroline doesn’t work every day (She doesn’t work on Sundays), she will get daily credit alerts because the women are coming on her Whatsapp to book orders every day.

Can you please take some time to sit down and plan yours?

Only 2 powerful things you need to do – Low-priced products that can sell every day wrapped in a sweet offer that others are not offering and secondly, a non-ending traffic source.

Remember the keywords:

1. Low-priced product
2. Must be able to sell everyday
3. A sweet offer that others are not offering
4. A non-ending traffic source that keeps bringing the customers

Alright, it’s time to implement!
