Let me announce to you that from November 25th, I’ll not be available to blog here on StartupsNigeria. The reason is because, I’ll be away for a 3-week training program and orientation camp as part of a para-military service to Nigeria popularly known as NYSC.

Update: The programme was re-scheduled for November 20th and due to personal reasons, I’m not able to partcipate at this time. 

The programme is a voluntary youth service that allows Nigerian graduates to contribute to the development of communities across Nigeria through educational and project management initiatives. Thus, I’m inviting anyone interested in writing posts for StartupsNigeria for the period of November 25th to December 15th to participate.

Who Can Participate?

Generally, I would expect people who have experience in blogging, social media, etc and perhaps consider themselves an expert in their field or industry. Thus, if you have advice and tips on blogging, entrepreneurship, social media, advertising, web startups, technology apps, online business, SEO, domain, servers, blog tools, web hosting, web design, etc and think you can add value to the community here, I’d be glad to discuss with you further.

In addition, if you know of any Nigerian social networking site or any startup that deserves a review and analysis, you can also write about them. Also, if you find any news article related to web startups, tech/mobile products and services, events, etc with relevance to the Nigerian web market, you can write about these.

What Will You Benefit?

Since this is a voluntary service (may not attract any monetary benefits to you), I believe it is a great opportunity for you to reach out to the StartupsNigeria community and loyal readers with your experience and expertise.

Besides, you’ll be promoting your blog or business via links to your site, products or services. And one more thing, you’ll be getting recommendations from me to your site and services from time to time over the next months. That’s how I can say ‘Thank You’;-)

Note: The blog currently has over 1000 feed readers and gets a weekly average of 400 unique visitors per day. It is read by a large community of bloggers, social media players, those interested in startups as well as potential investors. Thus, you can picture the audience before deciding what posts would fit into the whole picture.

How Can You Participate?

If you are interested to participate and would like to support this blog, please send me an email via: loy at startupsnigeria dot com and I’ll let you know how we can make things happen. My hope is that we will all benefit from an array of knowledge and expertise and further build quality relationships for our businesses.
