How To Transfer Credit on Glo Network

The Glo Me2U service which allows Glo customers to transfer airtime from a prepaid glo line to another prepaid line has been restored. The service has been down for a very long time making it impossible to transfer credit on the Glo network. Now that it has been restored, I have decided to share with you, the Glo Me2U codes.





To transfer credit, dial the code below:



*131*Glo Number of the recipient*Amount to be transferred*Password#



For example, if your password is 12345 and you want to transfer N50 to a customer whose Glo number is 08055555555, then you dial : *131*08055555555*50*12345#.



You will receive an notification, prompting you to enter "1" to confirm the transfer.



That's all.

Default PIN is 00000



You can change your PIN by dialing *132*old password*new password*new password#



You can transfer a minimum of N50 and maximum of N1,000 at a time. You can transfer a maximum of N5, 000 in a day.



I hope this helps.



If you've got questions to ask, please let me hear from you via comments.

Why BB Subscription Is Cheaper Than Other Data Plans in Nigeria

I stumbled on a thread at Nairaland yesterday, where the OP shared
the NCC (Nigeria Communications Commission) response to her query on why
Nigeria network providers can't make other data plans to be as cheap as
BIS (Blackberry Internet Subscription). I'm sure you will agree with me
that the issue of expensive data plans especially for Android
smartphones has been generating a lot of comments online lately.





According
to the thread, RIM, the manufacturer of BlackBerry, utilizes a special
compression algorithm to serve users of Blackberry handsets who have
subscribed for BIS. Whenever such a BIS subscriber surfs the internet
and opens a webpage, a request is sent via the BB's browser requesting
for the page to be downloaded to the phone. This request is channeled to
RIM’s gateway in Canada, which fetches the webpage, compresses it and
sends the compressed data back to the BlackBerry phone as a download.

On
an Android smartphone, the request to open a webpage by subscribers is
sent to the gateway of the network operator which then processes the
information and sends back the page to the Android phone as a download
(the data is not compressed - thereby requiring more bandwidth).



The
amount of bandwidth uploaded is identical between both Blackberry and
Android phones, the difference lies in the fact that most of what
subscribers do on their phones is to download content which varies on
both. BlackBerry is indirectly subsidizing bandwidth by compressing the
content downloaded by subscribers.



In effect, an
internet subscriber using an Android smartphone to open a webpage may be
downloading 100KB of data, while a subscriber using a Blackberry
opening the very same webpage would be downloading 25KB due to the
compression of data by RIM.



Bandwidth in Nigeria is an
expensive resource, because most data is transferred wirelessly. This is
the reason why the NCC is promoting wired infrastructure around the
country through such projects as WIN (Wire Nigeria) as well promoting a
Broadband roadmap for the country which will greatly reduce the cost of
bandwidth thereby reducing the cost of browsing the internet on
smartphones.



I hope you now understand why BIS might continue to be cheaper than other data bundles.

Why You Are Not Making Money Online And How You Can

This is a guest post compiled by +Oscar Frank  for OgbongeBlog

It is quite obvious that the number of people coming into the blogosphere and other online money making scheme today is on the rise, and this is simply because they all have the same mindset of it been the fastest and best way to make quick money.



One thing they fail to realize is, just like every other business, you have to dedicate your time and energy to attain success. In fact, patience is one characteristic you must have if you are to become a successful business personnel online.



There are quite a number of ways to make money online, and today I’ll give you reasons why you haven’t made a dollar and the various strategies you can apply in order to earn huge income and become your own boss.

Why You Are not Making Money Online

Below are the reasons you have not been successful with your online business schemes



1. You Are Trying To Do Everything



This actually happened to me when I ventured into the online business world. Imagine reading a couple of articles by the so called gurus back then of how they made money blogging, doing affiliate marketing, selling their products and all that. You simply get confused and would imagine doing all so you can make the huge sum income all at once.



This isn’t a nice strategy because, you end up splitting your resources to various projects and none of them would ever grow to become successful. This is one major problem Newbies face and should be avoided if you wish to become successful online.



2. You Are Busy Buying Everything and Attending All Make Money Online Seminars



I’m not trying to say that buying ebooks or attending make money online seminars are wrong. But if you are going to start a particular business online, it is advisable you buy ebooks pertaining to the business you are venturing into. For instance, let’s say you are about to venture into blogging, you do not have to buy eBooks related to affiliate marketing for a start, you are to learn the basics of blogging before talking of affiliate marketing.



By the way, if you are busy attending those so called Make Money Online seminars, when are you going to have the time to implement the things you’ve learnt so far. Concentrate on one aspect of making money online and have your interest in buying things related to that subject matter alone.



3. You Are Lazy



This might not apply to everyone anyway, but this is definitely true for most people. One thing I can for sure say is hardwork pays a great deal. You do not expect someone who spends sleepless nights trying to promote their business to end up with same results as the other person who snores all through the night.



It is important you scout for different strategies to improve your money making niche, this would improve your productivity and earnings in the long run if properly implemented.



4. You Are Not Patient



As with every good thing, they say, Nothing Good Comes Easy of which this is also true when it comes to making money online. You must learn how to be patient and work hard to achieving success. I remember when I ventured into blogging; it took me about 10 months before I received my first Adsense Cheque. This was sometime 2 years ago.



Most people quite because they do not endure to the end. Now I’m really happy earning money online.

Surefire Ways That Make Me Money Online

1. Blogging



Blogging is one of the best ways to make money online. All you need do is create a blog and update it with articles that are related to your choice Niche. Try to build up traffic and loyal readers to your blog, and in the long run you will attract Advertisers to pay for Ad spaces on your blog.



There are other methods to make money blogging which include Affiliate Marketing, Adsense, Infolinks, Media.net and other selling your own products to your readers.



One thing you need to sustain your earnings blogging is traffic. I recently posted a case study on how I increased my blog traffic by 68% and it would be of great help to you.



Below are a couple of ways I make money with my blog:

• CPM / CPC Ads: These are ads that pay per click or thousand impressions. Some of the networks that I’ve received payments from include Adsense, Media.net, Chitika, Infolinks.


• Direct advert sales


• Sponsored reviews


• Affiliate sales

You too can, build up a blog and drive traffic to it today if you want to earn money blogging.



2. Freelancing



A freelancer is someone who does minor jobs for people online and jobs which include Writing Jobs, Virtual Assistance jobs  and lots more. There are a couple of freelancing jobs I currently use in making money online. I know you would to know what means they, don’t worry I’ll outline them below.
