Top Five Nigerian Under Graduate and Post Graduate Project Research writing Websites

Academic Research writing is a general term used to describe the business of writing academic essays, articles, under graduate research papers, proposals, thesis, manifestoes, mission statement etc.

Academic research writing is a relatively new industry in Nigeria and a lot of innovative techpreneurs are beginning to tap into the riches of this new concept, but there is a problem, because once everybody hear that there is money in a particular business everybody would want to jump into it without having a commitment to provide customers and clients with quality service.

For Under Graduates and Post Graduates  choosing a Under Graduate and Post Graduate Project Research writing

service online may prove very difficult because as a student once you have successfully saved up a particular amount of money to pay someone to write a befitting academic research for you, the next thing is to make sure that you are not paying your money to quacks or fraudulent individuals who will just collect your money and make away with it or provide you with an “heavily plagiarized” rip off of your research that they copied and paste from the internet or from the past work of someone else.

Top Five Academic Research writing service providers in Nigeria
1.RunMyResearch.com:  although RunMyResearch.com just started off writing research online in 2013. RunMyResearch.com,, have been in the offline researching business from as early as 2008 and they claim to have written over 150,000 research for foreign and local customers. RunMyResearch.com, serves mainly customers who want custom written, fresh plagiarism free undergratuate and post graduate research project

2.   NairaProjects : Naira project is also a research service provider and since they started they have provided research materials to quite a number of Nigerian Students. NairaProjects provides students with old research materials from their archives and do not claim to hold any copyright to this work. So if what you need are materials for your research then you can head on to nairaproject.

3.    Iproject: they have been in the research game for quite a while and just like nairaproject above they only provide materials to customers, their support for custom research writing is very difficult to ascertain as at the time of writing this article maybe they may go into research writing in future but for now they only sell old research works and are non specific on the copy rights of these materials 4.    ProjectWriters.ng provides student with old research topics and materials a very affordable rates from their archives. Despite what the name suggest you may not be able to find a researcher that will handle your researching at projectwriters.ng

5.    EduProjects: promises free used project topics from their old archives. Students picking a topic from this archives should be very careful as there is a very high chance that the topic you are picking from here have been reused over and over again by others.

When in search of a project research topic it is better to just request for one. And you can do that from the project research topic request form at runmyresearch.com.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER BEFORE CHOOSING AN ONLINE UNDER GRADUATE/POST GRADUATE RESEARCH WRITING SERVICE

Although Academic research writing is a relatively new industry in Nigeria  a lot of innovative techpreneurs are already setting up shop in this area. We have a lot of websites online professing to provide research writing services and as usual they are all trying to market themselves as the best, leaving the customer confused on which of these “bests” to choose.

Don’t worry I will help you find the best…

I will help you find the best by giving some of the factors to consider before you choose anybody to write your Under Graduate and Post Graduate Project Research.

Related post: Top Five Nigerian Undergraduate and Post Graduate Research writing service Providers.

      I was able to come up with this list by evaluating my personal experience with some of the research writing services online and I also went further to conduct a customer satisfaction survey online by talking to people who claimed to have used an online Research writing service provider, from my research I was able to come up with some of these factors that you must consider and the ones you must watch out for before paying your money to a “research vendor”.

1. Watch out for websites that claim to provide research writing services but are actually selling old research projects from their archives. Yes this is a very common trend amongst online research services providers. Some of them will just stack up “ill gotten” archives of old research papers and they sell it for cheap calling it names like “research materials” where as these are copyrighted past works of other people and using them makes you a criminal. So as a rule of thumb  before ordering a research writing service I try to make sure they are not just selling me old topics from their archives. And how will you know? Most reputable research service providers only display sample research topics and abstracts on their websites and this topics are usually not available for immediate purchase and collection because once you order a topic from their list of samples, which is usually not suppose to be a very long list because a good research service provider will tell you that some topics are only available for request and you will have to fill a form to get it, while the one providing copied or old research work would have everything available on demand because they can sell one topic to over twenty customers
2.      Before paying make sure to confirm that they do not have a ridiculously short delivery period. As a student you should know the work it takes to write a research, so when you provide someone with a topic or you are given a topic and the researcher you paid is telling you that he will be done with a research that is supposed to cover 65 pages with tables and diagram included, then be very worried because that person may end up providing you with an out of point research, a plagiarized work or something copied from a old manuscript. So watch out for someone claiming to provide you with a complete research within 2 days or 24 hours. Research are not done that way.
3.     Try to have a topic. It is always better to have a topic before going out there to seek for the service of a research writer. Because when you have a topic you can be sure that whoever is going to handle your research will not just pick up any topic from their archives and sell to you as a fresh work, If you were the one that picked the topic yourself then you will be able to defend it when the time comes and you will be able to discuss the topic better with the researcher.
4.     Cross check their payment methods. Personally I prefer a payment method where I pay into the account of an individual(personal account) or a business account and these are my reasons: all payments made to personal accounts can be traced in the event of fraud and the same applies to business accounts so when somebody is confident enough to use his or her personal account or create a business account it shows that, that person is reliable and ready for business.
5.    Never make payments for an academic research in cryptocurrency that is a very unprofessional and unreliable way to make payment and doing that will expose you to fraud when you make payments to untraceable accounts.
6.      Make sure that they have a reliable customer support that you can reach if you have challenges online or offline. Some research websites even provide a customer support forum where customers can chat with researchers in real time about their work an example isrunmyresearch support forum they have their own support forum for researchers and clients to connect and for clients to make complaints about their work directly to support, the good thing about this one is that they also maintain the customers confidentiality by not displaying any of the clients personal information.
7. Try to confirm if they have an offline location, although this is not really very important but if they have an offline location that indicates that they have a very high reliability ratio.
8.  Make sure the persons that you are talking to know what they are actually doing, grill them with questions about the topic to ascertain their level of understanding of the research in question, if your researcher is clueless then ask the management to assign another one to you or look for another research service provider.

These factors would not guarantee that you get the best from these research service providers but it will direct you to the ones that are in the best position  to give you the  best.

Thank you.

List of Top HTML tags that every blogger should know about.(for techpreneurs)

List of Top HTML tags that every blogger should know about.

 1.Meta tags. This tag should be the first thing you type on your post content field before writing      your post as this tags tells a search engine bot about the content of your post e.g
the meta description tag for this article should look like this:

<head>
<meta name=”description” content=”list of top html tags for bloggers”>
<meta name=”keyword” content=”html, blogging, seo, post formatting, editing posts,”>
<meta name=”author” content=”steve azuka”>
</head>
This way when a search engine sees the post it will find it easy to understand the content of my post and what it is all about. and with this you can also lay authorship claim on your unique content.

2.Bold/strong.  This is a basic way of emphasizing and emboldening your text and making it thicker than other text e.g a sub heading(if you do not want to use the <header> tag)  a text could be made emboldened by lacing it with this tag
<b> this text is bold</b>
or
<strong>this text is bold</strong>

3.links.

  (i) linking text:  there are two ways of adding a text link to a post:
                        1: just plainly writing the URL(uniform resource locator) e.g:  http://www.mylastkobo.com ( some sites demand that you use the href element to place any link)
                       Or
                        2: embedding it in a text: using the <a> (anchor ) tag and href element you can carefully embed your link inside a text < a href=http://www.mylastkobo.com></a>


(ii) linking an image: placing a link inside an image is not a very tricky thing to learn, you still have to use the <a> tag and href element but this time we will also be using the <img> tag and src element:
The image for this example is located here so we will have to copy it cus we will be needing it to complete the process.

<a href=http://www.mylastkobo.com> <img src=http://our image is located here.yipee /></a>.

Note: when linking people to other site ensure you put in target as blank, so that a new tab will be opened authomatically on their browser.

4.image. <img> as a blogger you will soon get used to typing and seeing this very  often. It is used for placing an image in a post either from your site or another site it is used alongside the element “src”
<img src=http://this is my image’s url.com/bighead.jpg width=” 550” height”400” border=”2px” /> the image tag is described as an empty tag in html so it does not need a closing tag but rather it closes itself.
The width and height element is used for deciding the dimension of the image.


6.blockquote. this is used for outputting a text as a quote it uses the HTML <blockquote> tag to output your text as quotes:
<blockquote> i want this text to be quoted because quoting is cool and i like it.</blockquote>

7.Underline. you use this HTMl tag to underine a text in a post;
<ul> i want this cool text to have a nice line under it</ul>

8.break. for those coding without a wordprocessor based text editor you will understand the need for this HTML feature <br /> it help you to break from one line to start writing in the other line it is an empty tag and it contain its ending slash inside the first tag.

9.italic.  you use the <i> tag to turn a text into the italic font style. This is usually used when you want to point a word out in a sentence. <i> italic is cool it makes the word wavy like elephant grass</i>

10. lists. The list tag is used to make a simple list of texts in a post. You will find that there are different ways of using the list tag, either by using the ordered list tag<ol>this output your list with numbers</ol> or by using the unordered list tag<ul> this outputs your list with bullets</li> you may also use the definition list<dl></dl> for making a list of definations like in a dictionary.
Using lists.

-Ordered lists:  <p>list of things i will buy</p>
     <ol>
            <li> tomato 50 naira</li>
            <li> bread 100 naira
<ul><li> agege bread</li>
        <li> tuntun bread</li><ul></li>
<li>macaroni 250 naira</li>
<li> bournvita 500 naira</li>
            <li>beans 300 naira</li></ol>

 -Unordered lists: <p> list of noise makers</p>
<ul>
<li>mayowa otularibo</li>
<li>Vincent ogunaiye</li>

Factors to consider when choosing a host service provider.(techpreneurs)

Factors to consider when choosing a host service provider.

To be on the safer side when making a choice of where to host your website it is advisable to look for these basic requirements and features before going ahead  to purchase an hosting plan.

1. Cost

You get what you pay for! The hosting for your website is the foundation of your website and it goes a long way to determine the success or failure of your website even before hosting the choice of a bad host service could cripple a good web design project so. So before calculating the cost, try to calculate the value. You need to invest in good hosting. The cost of hosting is something that should be calculated into your entire website budget. Host service providers that offer “cheap” and “unlimited” accounts should be approached with caution. Because most of them do not last long in the business and when they pack up so also will your website.

Look to see what you are getting with the cheap host and what features are included in the cost. Do they charge for additional domains, support, backups, etc.. Call them. Ask questions. Tell them what you envision your site’s needs to be. Just don’t take it for granted that they take your site as seriously as you do.

2.  Compatibility

Take a moment to understand the technologies that are being used within your website. For example if you are building a WordPress site, your hosting provider should be familiar and compatible with WordPress(the same goes for every other CMS you may choose to use). Find out if it is a Linux or Windows based server. Also find out if they are running the most current version of PHP and databases such as MySQL.



3.TECH SUPPORT

One of the most important requirements that you should consider before choosing a host company is its tech support, how soon do they respond and how helpful are their response.

In my own opinion, this is most important issue to consider. When a site, for some unknown reason, goes down, can I call up and get a real, live person(not a computer program or an answering machine) on the phone? And, more than that, can they find out what’s wrong and fix it, or at least tell me what I need to do to get my site back online?

It is very dangerous and uncomfortable to host with a host company that does not have an effective and live tech support. when your site is down?

You are supposed to be able to reach your host company’s tech support or customer service within 30minutes and book your complaint.

Before purchasing any hosting plan, you are supposed to be able to reach the customer service of your host service provider to inquire about the pricing and billing procedure.



4.ADDED INCENTIVES(optional)  area of consideration comes down to the following question – What makes this hosting company special? What extra incentive do they provide to make hosting your site with them just a touch more attractive? Whether it’s multiple data centers, energy-saving practices, or additional features such as regular data backups or free domain privacy, hosting companies often offer more than just servers. If you see one that offers something you need or find important, that can be a good indicator that you should look into using that company.

I know some host service providers that give free custom emails and free domains.

5.Customers Reviews / Satisfaction / Reputation

This is one of those factors that you’ll have to get a little creative to get the real story on. Do a Google Blog search for a particular hosting company, or look them up on Twitter – whatever you have to do to see what their current (or former) customers are saying about them. Are they easy to contact for support? What’s the average time it takes to respond to a ticket? When they find a problem with a site, what’s their course of action?

This is one of the great things about social media – ask a question about a company, and you’re more likely than not to get a few answers.

6.Control Panel / User Interface

Even if you’re new to web design, there are some things like installing WordPress, setting up email, setting up FTP accounts  that you should be able to do without calling your hosting company’s support line. Does the provider use cPanel or Plesk to make updates and modifications easier, or do they use some clunky interface that no one can figure out? You’ll most likely be the one working with it, so if you can’t figure it out, then that’s going to be a problem.

7.Scalability / Room to Grow

Finally, an important thing to consider about your hosting provider (and the plan you choose) is whether or not they fit into your plans for the future. In other words, what you consider adequate hosting now might not meet your needs two years from now, once you start selling your products online and getting some good traffics to your site.

Any web-based enterprise should have its eye on growth, so if a hosting company might have difficulty accommodating that growth it could pose an issue. Will they be able to easily upgrade your account? Transferring from one host to another takes valuable time and effort which could be avoided if the company can scale their solutions for growth. As with all these factors, do some research, get some opinions, and make an informed decision.

8.Storage and Bandwidth
Unlimited bandwidth is a usual advertisement slogan of most host service. Many hosting providers that claim to offer unlimited bandwidth have restrictions outlined in the “fine print.”

Make sure you read the terms of service carefully to understand exactly what you are purchasing. Make sure the allotted space that comes with your purchased plan would be enough to accommodate your sites programs.

Unlimited bandwidth is a myth. Many hosting providers that claim to offer unlimited bandwidth have restrictions outlined in the “fine print.” Read the terms of service carefully to understand exactly what you are purchasing. Reputable hosting companies will often outline the costs for going over your allotted bandwidth and storage.



9.Uptime and downtime

Before choosing a web host company to use you must make sure it provides up to 99% uptime in reality and not just by its claim, search for complaints and issues being raised by its customers with google. Ask their customer support person to verify some of this complaints, ensure that you are guaranteed of your sites 99% uptime before going ahead to purchase a plan with any hosting company.



10. Quick Install(newbies)
For newbies it is always better to choose a web hosting platform that provides its customers with a very easy to operate hosting structure take for example a newbie with no knowledge on how the to upload and install wordpress on his hosting account might find it easy to use the quick install option provided by some host service providers e.g Godaddy and hostgator that provides users with a quick install option for some CMS like wordpress, drupal, joomla, woocommerce and phpbb right from the Cpanel, without having to go through the ardious process of first downloading the wordpress installer package and uploading it to your hosting account  after which you will have to create a mysql user.  So i think it would be easier for newbie who are “non tech inclined” to look for host service providers provide something like that.

Connecting your filezila FTP to a remote server(techpreneurs)

 
Although most web host(e.g godaddy,hostgator,sitegrounds) now supports an automatic direct online installation of wordpress into your host server through your Cpanel.
  there are still very many host service provider that will require you to download and upload your wordpress installation files to your host server and in this case it is recommended that you use an FTP client to upload this file and to do any future direct upload into your host server(e.g your sitemap file) this tutorial will show you how to connect an FTP client to your host server and make changes to files in your host directory.

download filezilla ftp client here

install the executable file you downloaded from the download link above. the file is supposed to look like this







[fig 1]

after installing the filezilla open it and you are supposed to see something like this:

[fig 2]

put in your accurate details where applicable.

Enter the hostname into the quickconnect bar's Host: field(1), the username into the Username: field(2) as well as the password into the Password: field(3). You may leave the Port: field empty unless your login information specifies a certain port to use. Now click on Quickconnect.


Note: If your login information specifies a protocol like SFTP or FTPS, enter the hostname as follows: sftp://yourhostname or ftps://yourhostname respectively.


FileZilla will now try to connect to the server. If all works well, you will notice that the right "column" switched from Not connected to any server to displaying a list of files and directories.

Navigating the Filezilla windows.
The next step is to get familiar with FileZilla's window layout.

[fig 3]

Here is a quick introduction: Below the toolbar (1) and quick connect bar (2), the message log (3) displays transfer and connection related messages. Below, you can find the file listings. The left column (local pane, 4) displays the local files and directories, i.e. the stuff on the PC you're using FileZilla on. The right column (server pane, 5) displays the files and directories on the server you are connected to. Both columns have a directory tree at the top and a detailed listing of the currently selected directory's contents at the bottom. You can easily navigate either of the trees and lists by clicking around like in any other file manager. At the bottom of the window, the transfer queue (6) lists the to-be-transferred and already transferred files.

Transferring files

 -uploading files.

First - in the local pane(the part labeled 4 in fig 3) - bring the directory into view which contains data to be uploaded (e.g. index.html and images/). Now, navigate to the desired target directory on the server (using the server pane's file listings). To upload the data, select the respective files/directories and drag them from the local(the part labeled 4 in fig 3) to the remote pane(the part labeled 5 in fig 3). You will notice that the files will be added to the transfer queue at the bottom of the window(the part labeled 6 in fig 3) and soon thereafter get removed again - since they were (hopefully, if nothing went wrong) just uploaded to the server. The uploaded files and directories should now be displayed in the server content listing at the right side of the window(the part labeled 5 in fig 3).


Note: If you don't like using drag-and-drop, you can also right click on files/directories (in the lower local pane) and select Upload to upload them - or simply double-click a file entry (this does not work for directories).

Note (advanced): If you enable filtering and upload a complete directory, only the not-filtered-out files and directories inside this directory will be transferred.

-Downloading

Downloading files, or complete directories, works essentially the same way as uploading - you just drag the files/directories from the remote pane(the part labeled 5 in fig 2) to the local pane(the part labeled 4 in fig 2) this time, instead of the other way round.

Note: In case you (accidentally) try to overwrite a file during upload or download, FileZilla will by default display a dialog asking what to do (overwrite, rename, skip...)

Using the site manager

Now that you are confident in transferring files (if not, practice a little bit), you might want to add the server information to the site manager to make it easy to reconnect to this server. To do this, select Copy current connection to Site Manager... in the File menu. The site manager will be opened and a new entry will be created with all the important information already filled in. You will notice that the entry's name is selected and highlighted - you can enter some descriptive name so you will later on find your server again (enter something like domain.com FTP server for example - you can rename it later if you wish).    Now close the dialog by clicking on OK.

The next time you want to connect to this server, you can simply select it in the site manager and click Connect.
this same process can be used to upload your wordpress installation files to your host server.

SKYPE & WHATSAPP
this is what you will use to communicate with your china suppliers after contacting them. Some use Skype while others use whatsapp. But all you need to do is ask them for their contact and they will give you the one they are using.

OLX
Me and you know that OLX is a classified Ads site where buyers and sellers meet to advertise their product for sale.

Now that you can afford N10,000 and you are waiting for your savings to get to N1,000,000 before you can start importation business.
Let me tell you why importation business is a very lucrative business that is capable of turning N10,000 into N300,000 if done properly.

• In a country of over 170,000,000 people that more than 85% of what they use on daily basis is imported.
• Look around yourself now and count 10 things you can see then check to know where they are produced from, you will be surprise to know that more than 7 are imported.

So you can see why I said that this is a sure business any one can venture into with as little as your last kobo and make cool cash if done well.
Back in the days importation business was the business for the high and mighty. if you are recognized as an importer then you must be a big man. No wonder you see these importers ride exotic cars in Nigeria.

But thank God today,  technology has made it possible for ORDINARY people like me and you to be able to tap into this lucrative business.

Now off to Step2 shall we?

STEP 2. HOW TO GO ABOUT IT.

Like me, what I did was to look for small products that has lite weight and I know will sell here which also the cost of importing it and price will not be more than N250 so I sourced and saw this product.

FIX IT PRO (Car Scratch Removal) see picture bellow….

The total price for the product for both importation and shipping was N250 so I placed an order for 40pcs and within 3days I got my order here in Lagos and sold it online and to neighbors for N1,500, which took me 5days to sell up and I made N50,000 within 10days from this single one alone.

Imagine if you do this for 3 times in a month that is sure N150,000 every month.

Now tell me is this not a lucrative business that has a high returns? or is the price in dollar affecting my returns?
I laugh when people tell me they will not import anything until they have up to N100,000…. If you keep waiting for the Big capital before starting anything as a graduate then you may end up not starting up anything at all.
STEP 3. HOW TO SOURCE FOR PRODUCT TO IMPORT

When sourcing for product, I regard it as the 70% Job needed to be done in order to be successful in importation business.

I will do my best to give you the Formula for this Concept.

Formula = (Find a PROBLEM + Make sure the Market is Big enough and CAPABLE) / Import The SOLUTION.

STEP 5 HOW TO FIND A PROBLEM
Use the forum and other social media and also watch TV and listen to Radio Programs where they discuss real life issues, ask questions; a friend of mine started meeting and making friend with new mothers with babies just because she wanted to go into that line of importation.Be Observant too.
 STEP 5. HOW TO SELL

Selling is simple when you have a ready market that is capable of spending to get what you are offering as long as it will help them by solving their problem. thats why step 4 was the most important step. if your product does not solve an available Nigerian Problem, then you will find it difficult to sell that Product in Nigeria.

Below are places and tools you can use to sell.
• Konga
• Dealdey
• OLX
• Your Neighbors
• Retail Shop Owners
