Let’s talk about an aspect of tech that many wish to go into or are already into.
Let’s talk about coding, and programming.

What is coding? Coding is the process of giving instructions into the language that the computer can understand – that is, binary-machine code.
Coding is how humans are able to talk with computers.

These are examples of a code:
a) for num in range(8):
print(“Hello” * num)
b) my_tuple[::-1]
(10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4)

As you see with above examples, learning how to code only helps us talk to the computer. It doesn’t really help us do too much. Imagine i wanted to tell the computer to create a complex program like a website or a game; the above code cannot help me do that. So to solve complex problems and make meaning out of our codes, we do what is called Programming.

What is Programming? Programming means telling a computer what to do and how to do that thing you told it to do. It involves providing well thought-out, instructions for your computer to read and execute.
The essence of programming is the process of problem solving, complex thinking, attention to detail, and reasoning – all using a computer.

So we learn programming, that is problem solving, and to learn how to solve computer problems, we use codes, i.e. coding.

In other words, the difference between coding and programming is , Programming focuses on how we can use codes to solve problems for humans, not just talking to the computer.

Depending on the problem you want to solve, you use some kind of coded languages such as C#, C, Java, and so on. And depending on what problems you specialize on solving, you are now referred to developers of some kind. E.g.:

If you solve problems regarding games, you can be called a GAME DEVELOPER.
If you solve problems regarding websites, you can be called a WEB DEVELOPER.
If you solve problems relating to android devices, you can be called an ANDRIOD DEVELOPER.
If you solve problems relating to various devices, both for computers and mobile devices using different programming languages, you can be called a SOFTWARE DEVELOPER.
If you are involved in the process of analyzing user requirements and then designing, building, and testing software application which will satisfy your user requirements, then You can be called a SOFTWARE ENGINEERING.

In my next post, I’ll talk about computer science and how it relates to coding and programming.

WANT TO MAKE AND KEEP MORE MONEY? HERE’S HOW MONEY MOVES IN AND OUT OF YOUR LIFE… .

Money has emotions, thoughts and feelings. It’s attracted to speed, urgency and action. . Money is repelled by fear, a scarcity mindset and the lazy. . Money is attracted to problem solvers, optimists and risk takers. . Money is repelled by complainers, pessimists and “idea talkers”. . Money is attracted to the committed and obsessed. .

Then get your mind, beliefs and actions RIGHT about money.

let’s get into his 7 secrets.

1. Understand your audience very well and focus on them when you write your ad.

Understand how they think, what they like and write to their taste.

2. Craft your ad to look and free very different from that of others.
3. Write to just one person at a time.

If you want to sell weightloss product for example, close your eyes and picture just one person in your target market – Maybe a woman, who is married and has kids. Then pretend that you are sitting on a table discussing with her. Write to her.

Stop trying to write to a crowd. Speak to one person. You will realize that you will write more passionately and better if you do.

4. Use attention-grabbing images. It is the images that first stops people while scrolling through Facebook.

Form a habit of noticing ads that grab your attention and try saving the images they used.

He says he was several folders of images that grabbed his attention.

5. Use power words that compel attention and keep your ads as short as possible.

No need to write long ads if you use power words.

Do a simple Google search for power words that can be used when writing ads and include them when you are writing.

Sex is a power word, but do not abuse using the word sex.

6. Always end with a CTA (Call to Action).

Tell people what to do next. Stop assuming that we should just click the button na.

Tell us what to do. Should we chat you on whatsapp? Should we click the button? Should we call the number? Tell us.

7. Test, test and test for no one knows the best performing ad.

He shared a story of how he was already making a lot of money online so he never used to test. He will just setup his ad and run it.

Then one day, he bought a testing software and decided to use it.

The software forces you to put in several images and several texts so it will test which one people are relating with the most.

He said that one image was making sales at 6 times less the cost of all the others put together.

The first day he tested, it was magical.

Stop using one image and one text to run your ad – test several and allow the audience to choose.

…….

Considering your bills never stop piling up, your debts are not reducing any time soon and you desire to enjoy a good welfare life you need extra income support.

To generate extra income you need to have a side hustle for yourself and this side hustle must generate a steady cash flow that can cover the expenses your normal job can’t do for you.

Many times you have tried to think of possible ways to make money or earn extra income and it seems no idea comes to mind.

Fortunately, the world has evolved from an industrial age to the information age. This change gives has allowed an average person to have his own business.

There are various business models one can do online, some of which you might have come across before.

But here are 3 easy, a cheap, and stress-free business that generates high income you can start today.

This is you using what you have to get what you want. At some point in our lives, we might have learned some certain skills or know a strategy on how to get something done.

For example, photography, fashion designing, cooking, football ideas, etc.

All you have to do is put that knowledge down in writing in form of e-books or articles, videos on YouTube, or podcasts and make it available for people interested to buy or subscribe to learn from you.

• Affiliate Marketing

I love this particular business model because it is the simplest to start and requires no special skill for you to do.

Affiliate marketing involves you promoting/advertising the product of another company or brand to people that need it and you get paid for your effort.

You just need to register under a company that allows affiliate services. For example, Amazon, Expertnaire, Jumia, Fiverr, and many more.

Business owners have come to recognize the importance of going digital (in other words, online) to promote their product.

Since most business transactions are now done online there’s an urgent need for digital marketers to help them improve their presence online to increase sales.

Even your friends in business need someone to boost their presence on Instagram and Twitter.

It is only wise of you to learn some digital skills like Facebook Marketing, Instagram Marketing, Google Search Marketing, and Copywriting.

There are free courses online that will adequately teach you these skills.
