  HOW TO CREATE AND SELL AN EBOOK IN NIGERIA You do not need to be a professional writer to create an ebook. You just need to know something useful that other people want to learn. Here is the full process from idea to income: - Step 1: Pick a topic that solves a specific problem: The more specific your topic, the better it sells. "How to Register a Business Name with CAC in 2026" will outsell "How to Start a Business in Nigeria" every time. Think about what people ask you frequently, what you know well, or what you spent time learning that others would pay to skip. - Step 2: Write it: Use Microsoft Word or Google Docs. Write in simple, clear language. It does not need to be long. A 20 to 50 page ebook that solves one specific problem is more valuable than a 200 page ebook that rambles. Write like you are explaining to a friend. - Step 3: Design the cover: Go to Canva (canva. com) and search for ebook cover templates. Pick one, add your title and name, and download it. Free and takes less than 10 minutes. - Step 4: Convert to PDF: Once your ebook is ready in Word or Google Docs, export it as a PDF. That is the format you will sell. Go to File, then Download, then PDF Document. - Step 5: Upload and sell on Selar Go to selar. co and create a free seller account. Click Add Product, choose Digital Product, upload your PDF, write a clear description, set your price in naira or dollars, and publish. Selar handles payment collection and delivers the ebook automatically to your buyer. Payouts land in your Nigerian bank account the next business day for naira sales. You can also sell on Gumroad (gumroad. com) which takes a flat 10 percent per sale and pays via PayPal. Most Nigerian sellers access their Gumroad earnings through Payoneer. - Step 6: Promote it Share your Selar link on your WhatsApp status, X, Instagram, and any group you belong to. Your first sale almost always comes from people who already know and trust you. Offer a launch discount to create urgency and ask a few people to share your link as affiliates. Selar has a built-in affiliate feature you can activate for free. You do not need a large following. Nigerian creators with 500 engaged WhatsApp contacts consistently earn more than those with 50,000 cold social media followers. Create once. Sell forever. Start today. Above all, love God.

  US STOCKS FALL AFTER WARSH SIGNALS POSSIBLE RATE HIKES Remarks by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh dominated Wall Street Friday.: “It was a down day for US equities, but a winning week. This after Fed Chair Kevin Warsh admitted the need for rate hikes if inflation doesn't cool soon. Company new stock in PayPal fell sharply as Stripe and Advent walked away from a $50 billion buyout deal. The chipmaker Marvel Technology was down. As its results underwhelmed the street, even though they had 37% revenue growth, Gap shares jumped with a new veteran CEO appointed to run the Old Navy division, and next week, earnings from Broadcom, Dell, and Lululemon, and the August jobs report is out next Friday. John Terrett, Worldwide News Network. ”

  Daily Brief (28 August) 1. PayPal ($PYPL ): reports that the Advent/Stripe consortium walked away from takeover talks sent shares plunging as much as 14%. Although some analysts flagged factors that could support a rebound, I am always going to call it the beautiful PainPal. 2. Marvell ($MRVL ) posted a strong quarter but shares fell as much as 8% and headed for their worst day in a month, with investors fixated on delayed timing of the Google AI deal revenue. 3. Fed rate-path uncertainty spiked after Kevin Warsh's hawkish comments pushed hike odds higher, turning the September decision into a coin flip. Market went green regardless but it did not sustain that long and we saw a delayed reaction to Fed’s comments. 4. Retail earnings were mixed but skewed positive: Gap/Old Navy parent $GAP jumped as much as 15% on an 11th straight quarter of comp-sales growth, while Walmart ($WMT ) quietly settled a federal opioid lawsuit without disclosing terms. Good news for $GAP is good news for $ZETA 5. Software seems officially back. Autodesk ($ADSK) raised guidance on strong Q2 revenue growth and Salesforce ($CRM) jumped on a Q2 beat, while Rubrik ($RBRK) sold off as investors questioned its results. 6. Amazon ($AMZN) gained about 4% after Evercore argued agentic AI could boost its retail growth outlook. 7. Eli Lilly ($LLY) got an FDA nod expanding Mounjaro's use for heart risk reduction. 8. Take-Two ($TTWO) landed a Netflix tie-in ahead of GTA VI. Netflix servers went down briefly as gamers flooded to watch the trailer. RATE HIKE and VIX SPIKE MIGHT BE COMING FOR US THIS SEPTEMBER.

  $PYPL down 12%+ after the Stripe/Advent takeover story fell apart. Personally, I think this makes the setup MORE interesting. No acquisition premium. No easy catalyst. Now PayPal has to prove the business is worth more on its own. 👀 That’s the story I’m watching.

  PayPal is down 11.60% to $54.34 after Advent and Stripe abandoned their pursuit. The group had offered $60.50 a share in mid-July, valuing PayPal north of $50 billion. The board considered that price inadequate. The stock now trades about 10% below the bid it turned down.

  I was 333rd in the queue. Got kicked out. Went back in at 22900, waited till it down to let me back in. Put the wrong code in. Couldn't claim anywhere near my normal seats and ended up in the Riverbank, then it wouldn't submit payment and I had to switch to Paypal. FFS

  @paypal - leaving another message to be lost in wilderness of the internet. Had to do a chargeback for what seems to be a clear item not received issue. Never open these type of cases, but both @eBay and @paypal denied a simple case. Both their customer services are subpar.

  @MsVeilMoney If you're bad at budgeting and paying it back yes Credit cards are great as an extra layer of security over debit cause you can issue chargebacks and stuff. It's why paypal was cool once upon a time

  I guess my paypal issue wasn't isolated.. Its a common thing happened to almost every users huh? My paypal was like 20+ years old.. Everything worked just fine.. Then they decided to implement AI to their website to cut corners.. Suddenly mass banning happening that include mine.. No warning, no notify.. Just instantly blocked my account AFTER i received a commission money.. So the money got stuck and cannot be cash out whatsoever (need at least $ 10 to cash out and i have like 8 atm)

  Most people never see the inversion coming. They see the crash. The coup. The empty bank account. The factory that will not ship. Then they analogize: more staff, more robots, more of last year’s stack. Innovators do the opposite. They stay in the problem until the cost curve breaks. PayPal ousted Musk in 2000 for pushing a rebrand and a Unix-to-Windows NT migration. He did not wage a public war. He stayed a shareholder. eBay paid $1.5 billion in 2002. His ~11.7% stake — about $180 million — funded SpaceX and Tesla. By late 2008 both companies were days from death. Three Falcon 1 failures. Tesla about to miss payroll. One last rocket. Flight 4 worked on September 28. NASA signed $1.6 billion in December. He put his remaining cash into a $20 million Tesla bridge that closed Christmas Eve. Analogical thinking said “stop.” Physics said “one more launch.” Reusable first stages. Manual labor where the robots jammed. 5,000 Model 3s a week after he ripped out the over-automated line and slept on the floor. 75% of Twitter’s headcount gone so the cost of running the network inverted. That is not grit as a slogan. That is inverting labor, capital, and infrastructure until unit economics work. Follow people who have innovated at least once. Not the ones narrating the next analog. I built a platform to help average people think like that before you commit the capital. More on that soon. This is 100% a real interview LOL

  $PYPL: $53 billion acquisition talks collapse The immediate cause of today’s sharp drop in PayPal shares is reports that a consortium comprising Advent International and Stripe has abandoned plans to acquire the company. Previous offer: $60.50 per share; total valuation: approximately $53 billion. Latest development: The buyers have withdrawn from negotiations. $PYPL shares fell by roughly 15%–16% in pre-market trading and were down about 12%–14% during the trading session. 📈 Driven by acquisition speculation, $PYPL had previously risen over 40% this quarter; consequently, the news triggered a significant sell-off as market expectations failed to materialize.

  @drewwash @braintree @PayPal I asked support and they recommended holding off on refunds for now as a recovery effort is underway and should include refunding or crediting incorrect charges. They also said it's a P1 issue and they are targeting resolution for end of day today.

  One of these was an NCR CX7 POS system but turns out the seller was a scammer. He had me get the money back by PayPal because they wouldn’t release it to him and when I asked for more pictures of the device to make sure he wasn’t a scammer he sent me terrible AI images LMFAO
