Using Zain Packet Data for Internet Browsing on PC
Posted by Okonweze chinonso on june 3, 2010 • Categorized as Tips & Hints
Of the four (4) GSM networks, setting up a connection between a capable phone and PC for internet access on three of them, namely: MTN, Glo, and Etisalat, is a simple, straightforward affair. Once you have your data cable (or Bluetooth connection), APN, username and password, you are good to go. With Zain however, there is one further step to be taken – a proxy must be setup or else the internet connection won’t work.
Here is a concise guideline to help you get things working.
Install Your Phone’s PC Suite on the PC
This usually comes in an installation CD in the phone sales package. Slot the CD in the CD drive and complete the installation.
Connect Your Phone to the PC
I’m assuming that you are using a USB cable here. Connect the cable to your phone and then to the PC. Your PC should indicate that your phone has been connected, and tell you your phone is ready to be used.
Launch the PC Suite on PC
Under the “Programmes” menu, launch the PC Suite application. Select the “Internet Connection” menu. The title may vary a bit, so don’t panic if that’s not exactly what you see. In Sony Ericsson PC Suite, for example, it is called “Mobile Networking”.
Some PC Suite applications automatically setup the connection. Others may require you to manually do so. If you can’t get the PC to establish an internet connection, select the manual setup option, and use the following parametres wherever a request for any of them is made by the application:
- APN: wap.ng.zain.com
- Username: wap
- Password: wap
- IP address: 172.18.254.5
- Port: 8080
Complete the setup by clicking the relevant button, and now you have just one more step to go. Yes; just one more.
Setup a Proxy in Your Browser
If you use Internet Explorer, follow these steps:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> Settings -> Look in the section titled “Proxy Server”, tick the box that reads “Use a proxy server for…” and enter the following:
Address: 172.18.254.5
Port: 8080
Also tick the check box that says, “Bypass proxy server for local addresses”. Then click “OK”, and “OK”.
If you are using Firefox, you are likely to know what to do to setup a proxy, but here goes all the same:
Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Connection -> Settings
Under Connection Settings, tick “Manual proxy Configuration”, and enter the following:
HTTP proxy: 172.18.254.5
Port: 8080
Then click “OK”, and “OK
That’s It
You should be able to browse now on your PC using a Zain line on your phone.
PS:
1. Your phone must have a modem built-in for this to work
2. Your Zain line must have been activated/provisioned for Zain mobile internet (To get provisioned, send SMS in the format, “internet sonyericsson P910i”, to 232, save the settings sent to you by SMS, and start browsing.)
For Other GSM Networks
For other GSM networks, use the following settings for the connection (no need for a proxy with any of them)
MTN
- APN: web.gprs.mtnnigeria.net
- Username: web
- Password: web
- IP address: 10.199.212.2
- Port: 8080 or 9201
GloMobile
- APN: glosecure
- Username: gprs
- Password: gprs
- IP address: 010.100.098.022
- Port: 8080 or 9201
Etisalat
- APN: etisalat
- Username: blank
- Password: blank
- IP address: blank
- Port: blank

HOW TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE
What Could Make Your Online Business Fails
Posted by Okonweze chinonso | 10:04 AM 0 comments We often see or hear of people who have made hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars using the Internet alone. We more often hear of those who lose their last pennies trying to get their online business to take off. This in mind, it’s easy to believe making money online happens by complete chance, though this couldn’t be farther from the truth. Below are a few of the most obvious reasons why so many people fail to earn a substantial income, if any at all, via the World Wide Web.
The most common reason for failure in not only online business, but all business, is lack of focus. This is especially evident in the world of online commerce since there are endless successful methods one can use to start up their online business. When one method begins to get a little tough, the easily distracted move on to the next method in hopes it will be easier or will produce results more quickly. The truth is that each and every one of the successful methods is based on complete dedication and following through in order to work.
Another overly common cause for failure is ignoring advice from the experts. People spend hundreds of dollars on books and seminars, eagerly seeking answers from those who have already succeeded at the goal at hand, yet when the time comes to apply their newly acquired insight, it is suddenly inappropriate or inapplicable or impossible. Entrepreneurs couldn’t make a more counterproductive move than to study their successors and then disregard their strategies. Avoid this by realizing that the only way to know if something works is to simply try it.
Almost every online business is created from the comfort of home, causing many to believe that working from home is comparable to lounging at home. Naturally, this approach can cause a new business to inevitably meet with failure, so it is essential to be prepared to take your online business seriously before taking the plunge and staying home to work.
One of the driving forces behind the most successful business owners in history is their absolute, unwavering passion to succeed. Without passion, it is a chore to remain focused; and without focus, it is nearly impossible to attain success. Disappointment and frustration are bound to make occasional appearances in attempts to bring your venture to its doom; however, presenting intense passion for achieving your goal for financial freedom will help overcome any and all such obstacles.
Starting a business is a huge responsibility that takes a pretty solid grasp of several different subjects in order to be properly executed. The phrase “there is power in knowledge” is most relative to entrepreneurship as you can never know too much about what you do. Striving to continuously learn more and more about your industry, your clients, and your product or service can do nothing but remove hindrances from any type of business, online and off.
Posted by Okonweze chinonso | 10:04 2 comments The Internet is going to have a new online magazine. Fortitude is set to be launched on 7th June. Fortitude is really a new concept. It is a magazine for the people, by the people. It means all the content and pieces published on Fortitude are sourced from the users or members of Fortitude.
The users of Fortitude can be you or me. Anyone can join the Fortitude content community. By becoming a member of Fortitude, you can contribute as many content and pieces in any topic as you want to Fortitude. Other members in the community Fortitude will review your content. If your content gets good reviews, then it will publish on the homepage of Fortitude. Also, as a member of the Fortitude, you too can review content and pieces of other members.
There is no editorial and publishing department in the Fortitude. All content of this online magazine are user-generated with a review system to make sure the best content are featuring on the front page of Fortitude.
If you have been writing on the Internet for a while or haven't contributing anything on the Internet but enjoying writing, then you can try writing for Fortitude. Fortitude is paying members for contributing content. They pay 10.00 ~ $100.00 for each piece or article published on their Front Page.
Any content can be submitted. It can be an article, a short story, an essay, or even a rant. Also any topic is acceptable as long as the content is family-friendly. Originality and unique are important. Make sure that you are submitting something that was really created by you and hasn't been published on anywhere.
Besides publishing pieces, you are also getting paid for reviewing other members' works and pieces. The review process is simple and straight-forward.

Is Fortitude free to join?
I believe the owner of Fortitude, Nick Oba wants to make his online magazine site complete free to the users and members. But as the site is new, Nick needs to charge a little membership fee to ensure the development and growth of the site. It's just $1.99 per month to become a member of Fortitude to contribute and review content.
The charge is also set to avoid spam issue like people try to create duplicate account and Fortitude is going to need some money to fund his affiliate program for expanding the member community of Fortitude quickly.
The Affiliate Program of Fortitude is Free
Signing up for a full account in Fortitude costs $1.99 per month but if you just want to take part in the affiliate program, you can just sign up for a Scout Account (affiliate account) completely free to promote Fortitude and earn commission.
Fortitude is offering quite a favorable commission to their affiliates. They are paying $20 for each new paid member that is referred by you. Paid member is the member who pays the $1.99 subscription fee to open a full account at Fortitude. The Fortitude affiliate program is new, but Nick is already added a bunch of appealing banner ads where you can use to promote Fortitude and earn affiliate commission.

Make Money with Affiliate Marketing: Get the Good Result
Posted by Okonweze chinonso | 10:04 9 comments Many people turn into affiliate marketing and a lot of them have given testimonials that they have really earned from it in just a few months of marketing affiliate products. Others even earn a few hundreds daily. How is this possible? What steps are they taking and what kind of marketing strategies are they following in order to drive traffic to their landing pages?
Affiliate marketing certainly can make you money. But patience is necessary and a lot of works have to put in. However, once you have left your mark in the sites where you want to gain traffic from, it stays there for long period of time and people would keep on visiting that page and you would get free traffic and affiliate sales from time to time.
So, what are the ways the professional marketers are taking in order to market their affiliate products effectively? Marketing a product needs careful planning and concept development. There are many sites where we can post a link to our landing pages which rank higher in Google. Below are some of them and it’s up to you to fully utilize and use the opportunity.
Squidoo Pages - Professional affiliate marketers use Squidoo pages to write a review about their products and to post links to their landing pages. Squidoo ranks high in search engines and if you use the highly searched keywords in your product review, there are great chances that your Squidoo page will land in the first or second page of the search engine. Squidoo is a reliable and trusted site so reviews written in the lenses are mostly preferred by most buyers.
EzineArticles – this article directory site contains hundreds of reviews and related articles about the products being endorsed online. EzineArticles has a pagerank of 6 and it also ranks high in search engines. Internet marketers find it a reliable site to endorse their products online where they get positive results. Creating an article about the product you are endorsing and submitting it to EzineArticles is a great step in marketing your affiliate products. It is important that you make your article as informative as possible so it won’t come out that you are only marketing your product but readers would also find your article very useful. This kind of article generates clicks to your given link at your author page. Readers usually become curious to know more information from the homepage of the author of the article.
Blogging – creating your own blog and creating backlinks to it is also an effective strategy. Once you have created your blog and added articles to it, you can write a review about the product you are endorsing then adding a link in the middle or bottom part of the article to your landing page. You can then join social bookmarking sites, microblogging sites, forums, social networking sites and other sites where you can generate traffic to your blog. Once you have thousands of backlinks to your blog already plus if you use keywords which are highly searched and with very less competition, there are great chances that your blog will be found. The reviews you post in your blog will then be read by buyers and if you have good quality review, there are big chances that your product will be purchased.
Article Directories – aside from EzineArticles, there are thousands of article directories online. The process is similar to what you will do with your articles at EzineArticles. It is important to note also that the article or review you submit to these article directories are modified, that is, no duplicate content if possible as Google penalizes posts which are in duplication with the others that they will find online. It is best to submit your articles first to article directories with higher pagerank as they are found first than those articles from directories with lower pagerank.
Submit to Social Bookmarking Sites - social bookmarking sites are reliable and effective in driving traffic to our blogs. Once you submit your post to thousands of social bookmarking sites online, you are creating thousands of backlinks which increases your blog’s pagerank. This boosts your blogs traffic and gives it a greater chance to land high in search engines.
People who search products and product reviews usually search first in Google or other search engines before they purchase it. Once they find your review and go to the link being endorsed in your review, there are greater chances of getting a sale. Affiliate marketing is the best and fastest way to earn money online if only you are doing the right method and strategy of driving traffic to your landing pages. It is important also to write high quality reviews and information about your products. People do really buy an item once they are satisfied with the review they find about the product they want to buy. The above ways are some of what professional internet marketers are doing. It is up to you if you will try them out. If you research about the ways and steps on how to market your affiliate products, you will always read about Squidoo pages, EzineArticles and the other methods discussed above.

The account of a poor nigerian boy...
I am a boy from that western part of africa believed to be one of the most populous black nation in the world,which is known for its rich and vast cultural heritage and rich mineral and oil exploration. (NIGERIA), at a render age there were many questions in me which were yet unanswered concerning issues like unemploymennt,fuel scarcity, poverty, epileptic power supply and so on.any time i watched foreign movies, i would be puzzled and always ask myself questions like are these people God's own people, or were these people made specially by God or why are they living comfortable, compared to my country. Ok i might now assume that the root to these problems was caused by the poor leadereship in my country, that is to say that the rulers and those in power are there just to serve their pocket not the common man, not the people who voted them in to power, i could say then that, i was still a kid, now that i am of age. the situation is Still worse and terrible in terms of everything i.e education,transportation,job,security,power,food e.t.c are in their detoriating stage because our leaders have failed to learn from the former one's, all their aims is to serve their pocket and their families not the common man or the good citizens that voted them in to power.but i have a strong believe that "what ever goes up must surely come down", which means that one day somebody,that can be trusted, relied upon and faithful would be voted into power in our country (NIGERIA). And i strongly believe that whoever contributed to the down fall of this country in the past and in present would surely account for their atrocities on the judgement day.
