    TITLE:                           THE PRINCIPLES OF WEALTH CREATION
Introduction
If labouring is the key to wealth creation, then it is those people that do very hard labour that would have been wealthy today. There are principles to wealth creations, and once you have  key to it and work with it and be consistence with it, you will have it. Many people labour endlessly and still remain poor because they don’t understand the principle of wealth creation or know how to translate their labour to wealth.    In this realm, hard work must be accomplish with smart work for labour to produce the expected wealth that we all so keen for. We must be willing to work with the set down principles of wealth creations.A lot want to be rich but don’t know how. A lot  of people know what  they want but don’t know how to get it. You see the greatest problem of life to people is just  how to make money
Let’s be honest,we all want to be well off, rich ,the wealthy have abundance, whatever the case may be.Are mine right ?. The simple answer is yes.This have kept many from doing what is right to many evil thing because of the love of it. These principles are simple. They are just financial intelligence and keying to them. Understanding them, practice them , work with them, master them. Letting them be part of your life style. If have the privilege to read this book  in this contemporary world then you have the power also to make wealth.
We want to simply teach you how people make money.

How they keep on making money
How to be consistence in making money
How to spend the money you make
How to invest these money

How to work less making this money. all the rest of your life.
So this translate:
 To be thinking wealthy
Getting wealthy
Getting even wealthier
Staying wealthy
And sharing this wealth
It is better to be wealthy, because
It satisfy and meet your needs, your wants gives you happiness, and even joy to some extent.it makes you to serve God uprightly. It is far better to be rich and wealthy than to remain poor. In fact, being poor is a taboo.
So therefore, the first step to get rich is to be THINKING WEALTHY
We start with thinking wealthy because that is the foundation on which all thing about being wealthy rest. We all have some kind of belief about money because even if it makes us happy, it cause us to be miserable in some kind of comfort. At least we can meet our needs almost all the time and will bring some kind of joy and some kind of happiness most times.
You must have the mind set to be wealthy, you think about it , conceive it, be pregnant of it . have the mind-set, the mentality. Dream it, nurture it and begin to have its creativity. It will work for you with Godliness and your strong faith of success. The concept of money comes with a lot of bag gages which to most of us belief on. if we belief that money is good, let love wanting it, having it , love spending it Change your mentality of money being a bad thing. And don’t undermine your effort to get it .work endless and mindfully to get it.
Spend your quality time looking for ways to make wealth, don’t ever waste your time it is God given and you cannot compensate for your time lost. So use your precious time[H2]  wisely.
Have a mind-set of how much effort you need to put in making money or wealth, and be consistent with it like somebody who is into some kind of sport. You most do it regularly until you master and live with it all your life
You have  to get to know precisely what you want ,why you want it, how you feel and think about it what you can do about it ,where you are going  and how you are going to get, when you ought to be there set a goal and a space of time. very importantly. And work with it endlessly. Now rule are that
·         Anybody can make WEALTH and MONEY. It is not selective and never discriminating. We all have the right and opportunities as every other persons that have the right of life to make it.It doesn’t mind your tribe, your colour race or wherever you have come from being African ,American white or black your background ,parent, foundation. The only thing that can deprive us is you and yourself as much as you want or God.But the wish of God for us is that we should prosper. Money does not know whosoever that may have it and does not have control over whosoever that may have it. There is no way money can know who is handling it. What their qualifications are, their class, ambitions, Money have no ear, see, mouth or sense organs to know who have it,it is just there to be use, spend, save, invest by whosoever have it Its doesn’t have discriminating properties to judge whosoever is worthy not to have it. You need to challenge your perceptions about wealth creation or money. We all assume the poor are poor because of their circumstances, their background, up bring and their nurture,these does not count.
·         You can decide on your DEFINITION OF WEALTH.
·         What is your meaning for wealth, this is one thing you must ask yourself. Sit down and think about it and work it out in advance, if you are going to get wealthy. Those  who know exactly what to them wealth means.If for example what you called being wealthy is having enough so that I don’t have to worry about having enough. How much is that? It might be counting of thousands For some people, not worring might mean having enough to to pay for any emergency that might arise, in your family, or better still to be able to sort out all family expenses and still have enough to invest in estates ,sponsor immediate family relation abroad to study, buy cars ,landed properties at will. However there are no, of course no right or wrong answer to this. But am of the opinion that until you are able to work out this you should not read on. if we don’t have a destination we can’t leave home or we’ll be driving around in circles for hours. If we don’t have a definition how can we monito
or judge success? If we don't do this how will you know if this book has been helpful to you?
·         SET YOUR OBJECTIVE: It is very important to set out your goals and objectives. Knowing what you want, how you want it and when you want to get there and have it. If you intend to drive out to somewhere in town. It will be very good  and nice to know.
·         What time you are leaving home
·         When you are supposed to arrive there
·         The very route you are going to drive through to get there
·         What you intend to do or will be doing when you get there
·         How long you will like to remain there
Getting rich or wealthy is just the same thing .It will be nice to know in advance what wealth actually means to you. How you intend to get there, how long you expect it to take and when you are going to be able to do or want to do with your money when you get it.
When you are able to define what wealth means to you, you will be able to set your objectives .Think about how you intend to get rich, how long is going to take you to get there and then importantly set your objective and be focus about it.
You can simply say at fiftieth birthday you will be a millionaire and then work it out. Of
Course this was easy because to me, that was making an example for you., if you have to do
it you need to think about it and reason it out in your own way. You get to plan for it and
Possible work it out. Here your objective have to be realistic. I mean that setting an objective
of being the richest person in the world  might happen but it is going to, it isn’t realistic.
Here honesty must have to play, you must be truthful to yourself to achieve this, if you lie to
yourself you will definitely fail. And people will know that you have failed.
When you set your objectives, you need to ask yourself whether this is achievable. If your
Answer is, set your modality to actualise it and have a workable work plan to follow it up to
the later.
·         KEEP YOUR PLAN UNDER YOUR HAT: For the moment, don’t broadcast what you are doing .keep it within your reach .there are several reasons why you should be silent about it. Some  of which are as follows:
·         There is no need to give away your best ideas to people before arm.
·         To avoid discouragement, keep your business plan to yourself initially to avoid other people discussing it amongst themselves.
If you go around broadcasting what you are doing there will still be people around you who get jealous and will do pretty well anything to put you off. After all they will see you as saying goodbye to them in a way. You are proclaiming that the old you, the old lifestyle, isn’t good enough anymore and you are more and you are off to pastures new. Of course they are going to be unhappy about that. So keep it under your hat. That doesn’t cost anything or require you to do anything.
·         The interesting bit is that even if you did go telling everyone, they are unlikely to do anything about it. Most people would rather watch television than drag themselves out of their pit of poverty. Am only thinking of you when I say keep it under your hat. Anyone  who  get religion of any sort needs to keep a tight lip on it.People really hate being preached at lectured at, encouraged to think about their lifestyle or told  that what they are doing isn’t good enough. Gaining prosperity is one of those things you do privately, clandestinely, surreptitiously. Not that there is anything wrong, just that it’s best done alone.
·         MOST PEOPLE ARE TOO LAZY TO BE WEALTHY: You are to get up early, work hard all day and go to bed still working on your objective once it is set. Yes money does sometimes grow on trees or so it seems .people do win the lottery, the jackpot, the big prize. Most people are too lazy to get rich, they are not ready and willing to take risks that can turn their life around. They are not prepared to make sacrifices, study, learn, work hard enough put in their efforts and make it a determination and concentrate their focus to make it in life.
·         Most people don’t want to do the work but only wants it to come as a surprise or by accident, by luck, by chance then it is Ok. This is not gotten by hard work, sweat or some kind of passion for it. , and focus. If you look at all the wealthy role model of our time, like the likes of Warren Buffett, Gordon Ramsey, Bill gates, Richard Branson, Alan Sugar, James Dyson etc., you will notice one thing in common with them all. They work hard or work their socks off. They might make their money from companies, sales, cookery, business, the film industry, vacuum cleaners, pop music .But the one thing they all share is the ability to do more in a day than most of us do in a month. And this is the wonderful thing about wealth.
·         It is laying around us waiting to be activated, claimed
·          And those who claim it, are the ones who get up early work hard and put in hours  to have it.Hard working ,dedicated, focused, ambitious, drivers money makers. With a sense of fun of course.
·         UNDERSTAND YOUR MONEY BELIEFS AND WHERE THEY COME FROM: We all grow up with some kind of myths. We get a lot of them from our 7parents and the way they bring us up.
·         THE PATHWAY TO WEALTH. The journey to financial freedom is one that everyone who desires to be rich and wealthy must take. However no one can arrive at the destination without knowing the pathway that leads to the destination. The kind of vehicle you use, and the speed with which you move is irrelevant if you are on the wrong pathway. Have you ever entered a bus, train, a ship or plane, enjoyed the trip and arrived at the other side only to discover you took the wrong bus, train, or flight? I have seen people do all kinds of things to climb the corporate and success ladder only to get to the top and discover that wrong ladder is leaning on the wrong wall.

However, before I proceed, I want to state categorically that there are excellent articles that go into in-depth details of how to start a successful blog. So what makes this article different? The big difference between this article and others is that this article is focused on my own personal experience in the business of blogging.

How to Start a Successful Blog for Free and Make Money Online
Please this is not the regular step by step guide to starting a blog. I am strictly focusing on starting a profitable, successful blog with respect to business principles. So I will shun some conventional wisdom and generic guidelines. If you are ready to learn, then let’s proceed.
So you want to start a successful blog? Have you ever asked yourself why you want to start a blog? You may think this is unnecessary but in reality; it might turn out to be the underlying line between success and failure. Why do you want to start a blog?
You must answer this question before even developing the idea for your blog. People start blogs for different reasons and this simple reason may be a determinant factor to your success or failure in blogging. The reason you start a blog will determine your mindset and approach towards blogging. If you start a blog simply for the money; you may never get it.
Linda Ikeji started her blog because she identified a need. She observed that Nigerians like gossip, and they like poke-nosing into other people’s affair; while ignoring their own problems. So she started her blog and now she is making money from it.
I started this www.abelagusaonlinebiz.blogspot.com to fill a need; She started her blog to help sort out gossips and  resolve peoples' opinion . This is  strictly for profit and this is the sole reason I also solve other people’s problems in return for a profit, not wages or salary.
 I am also an entrepreneur, I have to think like one. This led me to work on developing my business or entrepreneurial skills. This blog is not a job, neither is it a hobby; it’s a business. But something I want you to note is this; I did not start this business blog solely for the profit; if I did, I would have sold it off a long time ago.
The primary reason why I started this blog was because of the leverage. Yes, I want to use this blog as leverage to greater heights in the future. The profits may be pouring in but the leverage is more important to me and I don’t mind sacrificing the profits to increase the leverage. Leveraging this blog can be done in several ways but I think that’s a topic for another day. Leverage is the reason I started this blog; what’s your own reason for starting a blog?
2. Develop your mindset
This is always the first point I stress whenever I am sharing information that challenges you or requires you to take action. Before ever venturing online to make money or earn a full living, you must first see yourself achieving it. You must believe it is possible and achievable regardless of your region or country; whether United States, U.K, Ghana or Nigeria. You must see blogging in Nigeria and making money online as a possible; all I am saying in essence is that you must challenge your self doubt and laziness.
Ultimately, you must be prepared to leave your comfort zone. After challenging your self doubt, you must set a specific goal or target. What is your expectation online? It might be to make your first $100 or to become an expert in a niche. Whatever goal you set, make sure it is achievable.
3.  Find a Niche
You have probably found a tangible reason why you want to start a blog; the next thing will be to find your niche. Just as you find a market for your product or service; you also have to determine your niche online.
·         Who are the main targets of your blog?
Now what is a Niche? A Niche is simply a small group of people with a common interest. Examples of popular niches are:
·         Beauty
·         Food
·         Vegans
·         Angel investors
·         Dog owners
·         Football fans
·         Students
·         Teenagers
·         Sports Betting
·         Forex Traders
·         Weight Watchers
·         Pool
·         Arsenal Fans
·         Chelsea Fans
·         Man U Fans
·         Singles
·         Game lovers
·         Housewives
·         Nursing Mothers
·         Careers
·         Dating
·         Education
·         Marriage
·         Making Money and so on.
Therefore Niche blogs are going to be blogs related to different topics that a select group of people are interested in. The reason for this is because there may be a lot of people interested in a particular topic but don’t know where to go to get more information about that topic. That is where you come in; to provide the content they need and in return these visitors will buy products from you or click on your ads to generate a nice income for you.
Niche blogging is more powerful because you don’t have to compete with other competitors for the same crowd. Armed with the right knowledge, you can go into a niche and completely dominate. A good rule of thumb in niche blogging is that your niche must be a high paying, low competitive niche. If you can’t figure out a niche to target; then you have no business starting a blog. Without the customers; a business has no cause to exist, so also does a blog without a niche.
What’s your blog’s mission? What do you aim to achieve with your blog? These two questions make the big difference between profitable, successful blogs and the average blogs. A blog mission may not be important to you if you are starting a personal blog; in this case, your personal mission will be your blog’s mission.
But if you are serious about building a successful business blog that will stand the test of time; if you want to start a profitable blog that will grow with or without your personal effort, then you should forge a mission statement for your blog.
To build a profitable blog, you must set goals and objectives. You must have both short and long term goals for your blog; your goals will be the benchmark on which to judge your blog growth rate. You can use traffic, income or subscriber base as a yardstick to analyze your blog growth.
6.  Define your brand strategy
This is one of the most important factors most people overlook when starting a blog from scratch. Your brand strategy in the long run is going to determine the value of your blog, its relevance and its overall potential. Now how do you define your brand strategy?
It’s quite simple. Your brand strategy begins with you answering this question: Are you starting a personal blog or a business blog? Your personal blog is your personal brand; it’s a blog that reflects your life values and culture.
The worst thing with a personal blog is that it might live and die with you but a business blog lives on because it doesn’t depend on your personal influence to survive. Business blogs also hold more value than personal blogs. Asset transfer and sustained growth in a personal blog is quite difficult without retaining the founding blogger.
7.  Develop your overall strategy
Another essential factor that will affect your quest to start a profitable blog is your overall strategy. Your overall strategy should be one that you will stick to no matter the storm. It’s a proven strategy that almost guarantees success and every other strategy will be hinged on it.
One of the reasons I was able to build StrategicBusinessTeam.com to this level with no marketing or advertising budget was because I started it with the mindset of an entrepreneur. I started it on the same principle I use to build my offline businesses. I started it with an overall strategy; a strategy I have tested and proven in my offline businesses. What’s my overall strategy?
“My motto is concentration. First honesty; then industry and then concentration.” – Andrew Carnegie
“Concentrate your energy, your thoughts and your capital.” – Andrew Carnegie
Well, I have just told you my overall strategy. It’s CONCENTRATION. I don’t diversify my marketing effort; I concentrate them. I don’t try to do many things at once, I concentrate. I did not start a blog trying to generate multiple streams of income; I concentrated on one income stream first. I did not start 10, 20 or 50 blogs; i started one and i still own one.
I did not look for multiple traffic sources; I concentrated on one and that’s why this blog is effortlessly growing geometrically. You don’t need 100 blogs to make an impact, you just need one. So if you are going to build a profitable blog, then you must define your own overall strategy. Mine is concentration; what’s yours. Only you can decide that.
8. Join a community related to your niche
The third step to making money online in Nigeria by Blogging is to join a community related to your chosen niche. For instance, if you have researched and discovered that a niche exist for guitar players, all you have to do is join social networks and forum for guitar players. Joining this forum will help you see the problems or needs existing in the niche.
I am a member of several communities related to business, entrepreneurship and investing. These communities bring me closer to my targeted niche. Using these communities as leverage, I can have a sneak preview into the minds of entrepreneurs to know the challenges they are facing currently. When you address the problems of people and offer them a solution, you draw them closer to yourself and make them loyal readers of your blog.
9.  Build the blog system
This is where you build the structure that will host your blog; this is where you put up the necessary system that will house all your operations. Your blog system includes domain name registration, choosing your hosting platform; choosing a blog platform and setting up the blog. This process is similar to finding a location for your offline business, obtaining permits and buying your office equipment.
Now what is the best small business blogging platform? I don’t know. What I can advice is that you choose a blog platform you understand its technicalities. Seth Godin built a successful blog on Typepad, Dave Lucas built a blog on blogger; while Steve Pavlina built a profitable blog on WordPress. Success can be achieved on any platform, just make sure you understand its ins and outs.
Your operational tactics entails how you want to run your blog; your overall budget and the time you’ll allot to building the blog. When I started StrategicBusinessTeam.com from scratch; I was strapped for time because of my offline business commitment.
I also made a policy that I will run the blog on lean budget until it begins to fend for itself and pay its bills. Now, my blog is run full time by my team. That was my operational strategy and it worked for me because I planned it before even starting this blog.
You want to start a profitable blog? How often will you publish articles? How much time will you devote to you? How will you schedule your limited time to make sure every system is well taken care off?
This you must plan and sort out before even starting a blog. Most people have asked me why I disabled the comment module on this blog. Well, it’s an operation tactics that works inline with my overall strategy; concentration. I will rather concentrate my effort on writing quality content that yields result than waste my time moderating comments.
I have less time so I chose to concentrate my efforts on things that matters most. That doesn’t mean you should follow my steps; find an operational tactic that work best for you and stick to it.
11.  Define your income strategy
What is your income strategy? The root of this question boils down to why you want to start a blog. Are you building a blog for cash flow or capital gain? Are you building a blog to hold or flip? Are you building a blog for earned, passive or portfolio income? These are questions you must answer because they will determine how you generate revenue from your blog; they will determine your monetization strategy.
I have seen bloggers brag about how they make thousands of dollars from their blogs but most of them are only thriving on earned income; meaning they make money by keeping an online job. I will give an example; if you run a blog that directly generates $50/month but you earn $5,000 from by providing writing services, then you are still an employee working for a salary. If you stop writing, your income will drop because you are on earned income.
I have also seen bloggers who generate full revenue from their blogs without even having to run it. I consider these individuals true entrepreneurs. Even if they go on vacation for a year; their blog income will keep growing because it doesn’t depend on them.
This is what I call passive income and it’s what I’m concentrating on. There are two types of bloggers; those who build a business and those who build a job, which one do you want to be.
12.  Define your Monetization strategy
Is your blog going to generate income from selling advertisement, doing product endorsement, offering paid services, selling own products or selling affiliate products? This you must answer if you want to start a profitable blog from scratch. But it’s worthwhile you know that your monetization strategy depends on your desired income strategy and overall strategy.
To start a successful blog and grow it to a substantial size; marketing must be done. To build StrategicBusinessTeam.com from scratch to this level without any marketing budget; I had to devise a marketing strategy that will be executed in synergy with my overall strategy. My marketing strategy was “To provide valuable life changing content” and my overall strategy was “concentration.” I don’t try to do everything; I only concentrate on my core marketing strategy.
StrategicBusinessTeam.com don’t generate a dime of traffic from StumbleUpon; i just recently activated a Facebook fan page and it’s not too active on twitter. Over 80% of this blog’s traffic comes from search engines and word of mouth because these are the two marketing tactics we decided to concentrate on.
So find a marketing tactic you are strong at and concentrate on it. Concentrating on a particular marketing strategy doesn’t mean ignoring otherproven profitable marketing channels; it’s all about mastering a particular formula before moving on to another. It’s all about having a core marketing tactic and other complementing tactics.
This is where most people miss it out; they start a blog without an exit strategy and that’s why most blogs disappear after the founding blogger dies. Except you run a personal blog; it’s advisable you factor in an exit strategy in your blog’s plan. Are you going to sell your blog in the future or hold it?
My initial plan is to diversify this blog into a network of blogs; and grow it to the level where it won’t need me anymore. But that was in the past. My new plan now is to turn over all the operations and control of this blog to a holding company. I want to build a full fledged business around this single blog.
My exit strategy is to become a watchdog; not an active participant in the operations of this blog and with an exit strategy like this, this blog will continue to fulfill its mission even after my death. This is my blog exit strategy; what’s yours?
15.  Stick to the process
Starting a profitable blog and growing that blog is not an overnight affair; it’s a step by step process and this process will never be complete without challenges and setbacks. I have had my own share of setbacks with respect to blogging; ranging from technical challenges to human error to financial crisis.
These things are unpredictable but you have to face them and to face these unexpected challenges; you need persistence and focus. You must know what your ultimate goal is and you must be prepared to make sacrifices to achieve such goal; you must stick to the process.
As a final note, these are my thirteen step strategy to starting a profitable blog from scratch. These strategies are not all about blogging technicalities or knowing how to write amazing articles; they are about blogging business intelligence.
