In order to make their forums look busy and popular, many website owners have started hiring people to post on their forums on their behalf. By doing this, they are hoping to attract more long-term visitors. The other big problem for forum owners is that updating and participating in their own forums can be very time consuming and prohibits them from working on other projects. That’s where you can help them. You can get paid to participate in the forums on the owners behalf. When you are posting in forums, all you would need to do is initiate new forum threads, respond to any existing questions and comments, as well as keeping conversations going. This is done by posting interesting tips, articles, news and thought-provoking conversation. One of the coolest perks of this job is that you’ll get to learn lots of new things.

Top Reasons Why Your CV Might Be Ignored This 2016

This article is part of DBA, a new series on Mashable about running a business that features insights from leaders in entrepreneurship, venture capital and management. A lot of people want jobs in marketing, which is great news for those of us currently hiring. However, after a decade of screening, interviewing and onboarding marketers, there are still some mistakes that I constantly see. Here are examples of some mistakes you should avoid. 1. You use a Hotmail or AOL email address Marketers should see into the future, not live in the past, so unless you're applying for a job as a historian for 1999, I would suggest updating your email address, perhaps to a Gmail address. Bonus points if you use an email address associated with your own custom domain because it shows you know something about using the web and technology. 2. I can't find you on Google You don't have to be popular like Michael Jordan or Michael Jackson, but you should be present enough on the web that I can e...

Between Jonathan’s Ebola fever and Buhari’s Lassa fever

Image
At the time of writing this essay, Nigeria has lost 44 citizens to the dreaded Lassa fever which like the equally dreaded Ebola Virus Disease is a haemorrhagic fever that spreads easily from one person to another. The two diseases need a comprehensive action plan involving the people and relevant agencies, local and international, and mobilised by government who deploys all resources necessary, to tackle the menace headlong. The Ebola virus which caused a worldwide stir in 2014 and claimed about 11, 000 lives in West Africa alone, can be considered to be more fearsome because of the number of casualties per occurrence and its rapid spread to even Europe and the US. However, with all its threats and spread; with all its fame for defying medicine, thethen Jonathan administration rose to the occasion with total commitment and vigour, mobilising agencies, personnel and other resources; sensitising schools, offices, churches/mosques etc while equipping hospitals and other public places with...

OIL AND GAS BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE

Image
The oil and gas industry is perhaps the most strictly regulated sector, yet; it remains probably the most profitable. In fact, crude oil or petroleum and its derivatives are essential commodities that are consumed on daily basis. Related post: How to start oil and gas marketing/distribution business Despite the massive agitation for the adoption of alternative renewable energy resources, oil still remains the number one because 99.99% of all vehicles and machines use either PMS (Petrol) or AGO (Diesel). So the demand for petroleum products is not going anywhere in the nearest future because it will take decades before the concept of renewable energy will fully be accepted. You don’t also need to be rich to be an oil merchant, as there are several lucrative low startup capital services within the oil and gas industry. All you need is the will to succeed, and the technical know-how of the business you want to venture into. So without wasting your time, below are some profitable business ...
