Let's know about someone!....
Wonderful day to you Miss Jenny @eupdates247 highly appreciate you for sparing time to shedding light about your blog and #BlogTour. Going straight to the main issue! We really would want you to give us a brief information about you.
Jenny: I am a 34 years old Nigerian lady passionate about youth empowerment. My name is Jenny Chisom Opara, a copy editor, blogger, and business mentor.
Recently you started a #BlogTour, should we call it #Jenny_On_The_Run? Or what? Hehehe. What really is it about?
Jenny: Hahahaha Kind of running for impact.
Lolz, what gave rise to this "lets us say" impactful idea of yours?
Jenny: The #BlogTour is my way of collaborating with Nigerian bloggers to push my business blog and youth empowerment initiatives. It is my way of showing off Nigerian bloggers strength in helping to develop Nigeria and Africa. This is a personal project from my LOGIN Bloggers Enterprise initiative. I am a kind of teacher showing the way to Blog marketing.
Hmmmm!!! LOGIN Bloggers Enterprise, we would love you to shed more light on that and also let us know audience this campaign is majorly for? Children, teens, youths, adults?
Jenny: My LOGIN blogging enterprise initiative was flagged off on June 21, 2013 and it’s a forum that grooms aspiring bloggers to blog right and show bloggers how to make money and impact from their blogs. So by this tour
I am showing one way to market and drive traffic to a blog while expanding blog offerings too. This campaign is targeted at upwardly mobile, internet savvy people who have a cause to pursue and need to earn a living from
their passion.
So how long have you been blogging and what was your very first experience with blogging like. How have you been able to cope to this level?
Jenny: I have been blogging for 6 years now and my very first blog experience was like posting my small company business plan which I was about to start at the time. It was exciting for me because I took it as a cheaper and more innovative way of putting my business for the world to see. A friend taught me how to blog using about 3 platforms and the day I finally designed my first blog at www.logosandaudibles.blogspot.com I felt
I was ready for business. My major challenge with Blogging then was the fact that I could not afford to own my own laptop and internet facility, but with passion and perseverance I have learnt a lot and metamorphosed into a blogger coach.
Many bloggers are faced with traffic issues, spending their own money and Lots more. How were you able to work with all this barriers?
Jenny: I knew this question will surface (laughs)...and believe me how to direct traffic to your blog and being able to afford internet data to be able to sustain blogging is a genuine challenge for an average young Nigerian. There have been times I wasn't sure I was still a blogger because I may not have blogged for a while but passion and innovative thinking kept me going. I research online a lot to see how other people outside Africa do it, then I try to adapt it to Africa and indeed Nigeria and implement.
So with this #BlogTour what is your central message and what do you seek to achieve?
Jenny: This blog tour is to let more people into my world of innovative adventure and enterprise as i hope to help young Africans especially Nigerians, discover and be on top of their chosen careers. I want young people to quit the blame game and invest in developing themselves. This
BlogTour is my way of saying "Here i am, this is my story and yes you can do more with your life".
I ascribe sustainability to divine inspiration and a burning call to see my country developed with her youths taking more responsibility. So I thought
of other ways blogging can be more impactful so i starting teaching how to blog right and earn money.
So by developing ideas to impact others via blogging, it began to pay off.
That was how LOGIN Blogging Enterprise initiatives, The Social media Job fair as well as the Bloggers Party were birthed in Nigeria. I carried them out successfully with my team and associates at Logos Audibles and my blog
strategy at www.jennychisom.com.
What drives you on this campaign? Is it about the audience or the future rise of your bank account?
Jenny: My drive is the availability of rich human resource and the need to inspire the teeming population of young people online to earn a living blogging if they so choose. My bank account? Hahaha, I need to plan how this campaign can affect it too but for now, I am focused on awareness.
So how have the journey being so far with these two main initiatives "earning a living through blogging and helping young Nigerians be on top of their chosen careers"? What are the challenges so far with carrying out
these great ideas?
Jenny: My major challenge has been publicity or awareness because I believe if people know where to go to get coached, they will go and get empowered since we are not necessarily taught practical entrepreneurship in schools. But that challenge is being tackled today with this opportunity to be interviewed by you and your blog crew and at no cost at all. I am so grateful.
(Laughing) Well, thank God you never gave up. Where do you see this vision of ours via this blog in three (3) years from now?
Jenny: I see a Nigeria where people online are not just ranting or spilling hate words, or posting irrelevant content on blogs and even on Social media. I see a more structured bloggers community who are affecting
lives offline through their blog influence. I see a Nigeria where more bloggers are celebrated because of their contribution to nation building and I see this blog in the top 10 blogs in Africa.
Wow. Okay. So Miss Chichi as friends call you, are you single or still......?
Jenny: (Cuts in)(Smiling) I am single!
Wow!!!!
Our unique question for you today is “if it were to be said you owe nature, what would that be?
Jenny: (pensive) Hmmnn, It would be that I owe nature to inspire others to see its beauty within themselves.
What will you like to say to fellow youths reading this blog?
Jenny: To youths, I will say "take responsibility for your life and shun evil...learn to tap into the celebrity in you by hard work and never forget that life without Jesus is as pointless as a blunt pencil.
If you are to say anything about Nigeria, what will that be?
Jenny: Nigeria is a nation of wonder. I believe with the team that see Nigeria rising steadily to become the most desirable nation to live in, by 2025 if Jesus never come by then ooo. (Smiling)
(Laughing) Wow, what a lovely time we have had with you Jenny. So inspiring I must tell you, especially for a female. We give you a 7-star ovation.
Jenny: Awww, we all are more than 7-star luxuries...I am happy to be one. Thanks a lot for inspiring me to open up on these fronts. It has been an exciting interview.
