One of the things we talk about at Book Writing Clinic (BWC) is how to make money online. BWC is appropriately subtitled How Experts Build Empire. Building empire requires having multiple streams of income: from your books, speeches, training, coaching, consulting, organizing mega seminars, and info marketing. A very lucrative segment of info marketing is affiliate marketing. It’s basically promoting and selling other people’s products and services. It could be ordinary individuals or companies. You

A couple of days ago I invited three of my friends to join me in my monthly Book Writing Clinic (BWC), a five-hour long seminar where I teach how to write books. The three of them excused themselves saying they couldn’t afford the seminar. The episode made me think. Could it be they didn’t genuinely have money or they didn’t really feel like attending? Either way, this post, which is actually four short posts combined

One thing about most fathers is that you don’t get to play with them especially when they are the disciplinarian types. My father was a teacher and a strict disciplinarian. He was the type that believed in the dictum that said, spare the rod and spoil the child. So I didn’t really get to play ball, go on a bike ride, jump and laugh with my father. By a tweak of fate, by the time

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” Proust Three years or so before I knew anything about speaking professionally for megabucks I read an article I considered one of the best-written articles of all time. It was about excellence and its underlying essence. Towards the end of that article, the writer remarked with an air of finality, ‘‘if you wish to write and speak as phenomenally

  Today we have an august visitor who traveled across town to see us. She came with her three kids in tow. Interestingly, we have not seen or heard from her for close to seven years. You can guess, she didn’t alert us she was coming. It got me thinking. Supposing she came and there was no one at home? Is this how she lives her life? Sadly this is our signature behaviour all over

  Believe me, I’m lying. When I launched my Bridges to the Customer’s Heart, I made N12million. People wrote me fat cheques, post-dated. When you call them they would say the ship I was expecting sank in the Atlantic Ocean. So to be frank, I saw only N3million with my naked eyes. But since then I have made over N40million. Banks, manufacturing coys, and a host of organizations have bought thousands of copies. But more

One thing Harvard, Wharton, and Oxford, talk less the lesser universities, won’t teach you, is to hang out with millionaires. Though the millionaires retain  some of the most outstanding professors from these ivy league schools as private advisors and consultants, for reasons best known to them, they will never teach you to hang out with the millionaires. A few years ago when my book, Bridges to the Customer’s Heart, came out, I started hanging out

  Not too long ago a publishing agent wrote to me from the UK seeking to know if I could write for a US publisher “for global electronic distribution at very lucrative terms.” Among the books the US publisher was looking for was a short guide of 3,000 to 5,000 words. I pinched myself. How did I move from an unknown back-office banker just a few years ago to a thought leader operating in seven
