MMON: Please tell us a little about yourself.
My name is Onibalusi Bamidele, a 17 year old entrepreneur from Nigeria. I heard about the concept of making money online when I was 14 and I was really determined not to stop until I learn how it works. 3 months later I have learned a lot, built a thriving blog and consistently make an average of $3000 online every month.
MMON: When did you start Making Money Online and how did you make your first money online?
I started making money online in June 2010, 3 months after starting my blog, YoungPrePro, and my first income came from sending a promotion email for an affiliate to my list of 150 subscribers.
MMON:When starting your site, did you ever expect it to grow to where it is today?
Being a daydreamer I expected far more in a short period of time, and even though I’ve seen how things work I still believe I will reach and excel my dreams for my blog and online business.
MMON: You’ve been in the internet space for a long time, how much of an impact have you made?
I don’t think I can measure that but based on the emails, comments, tweets and Facebook updates I get from my readers I’ve made quite an impact on a lot of people. I’ve not arrived yet but I know I will get there one day and my main motivation remains helping people get results.
MMON: How have you incorporated social media into your site?
I make use of social media for my site by making it easy for my readers to get in touch with me on the top social networking sites an by providing them with immense value anytime I share a link on my social profiles.
