Most often people ask me how did I know a lot about computer, and few other things without taking any official class on them. it’s kinda funny, but the absolute truth is that I learn almost everything I know today about computer and lots of others using a simple system called DIY - do it yourself. You can learn and master any skill yourself. You don’t have to go to one fantastic school (except if you need certificate).

Does that sound controversial?

Let me quickly add this here; do-it-yourself learning style is not for everybody. We all have different learning style. If you think you can learn it yourself without anybody holding your hand check this website out. You will get more than 100 free places to learn online.

If you’ve come across any free learning resources online don’t hesitate to share it with us here.

Dear IMN’ers,

If you are not making money online as expected something must be wrong. That of course is obvious truth. But first let me tell you this; you are not alone. Recent survey shows that over 88% of internet marketers are not making it at all. It’s a sad statistic.

So what are is stopping you from doing it? Have you care to ask yourself? Why should you remain same after buying ebooks, training cd, dvds, and seminars?

My brothers and sister - something is wrong.

Actually, I just finish a report on possible reason why you are still not making it online. However, after reading Rich Schefren’s latest report ‘the uncertainty syndrome’ that he released yesterday I decided to share his report with you instead of mine. He explain it better.

In the 60 pages report Rich reveals what is stopping you from making progress in your business online. You may want to ask - how did he know what the constraints are?

Let me help you. Rich is a coach of coach. Meaning that he has helped several other business coach including myself to reposition their business.

If you know you won’t be afraid to face reality go and download Rich Schefren’s the uncertainty syndrome now. It’s just 60 pages. Make sure you print it out. And when you start reading it don’t stop to do anything else if you want to get the message.

You can make it online. I know it. But you just need to know what the problem is and find a way to solve it.

We will be working with 10 people starting from 29th of september for 7 days. Did you think you are qualified? Check out our hold me by the hand event now. Only 5 seat remain.

After reading the report come back and post your comment here. Let us discuss it together.

(Note: We are starting with starcomms Nigeria today. We will surely discuss other internet service provides too – both dial up and broadband internet services providers.

When I first subscribe to starcomms Nigeria internet service (specifically cdma – a.k.a dial-up) few years ago I didn’t experience any difficulty with the activation of my service. If I can remember, everything was almost instant. I wasn’t told to wait for 48hrs before my account can be activated.

Unfortunately, that has changed.

Few weeks back, after listening to izap promotions severally I decided to try the service despite the fact that I am still subscribed to ipnx broadband service. I made the payment at their toyin street office, got the package and was told to wait for 48hrs for my account to be active.

Friend, I was so anxious to test the service out to the extent that I wanted to connect it before the 48hrs. Eventually, the 48th our came I gave it a try and was disappointed. It was late in the night. Next day I called their customer care and was redirected to ‘data service’ centre. The person that picked the call wasted my time asking series of questions. At the end of the ‘interrogation’ he told me to wait for some hours more.

To cut the chase, 48hrs becomes 192hrs (8days) before I got my izap account activated.

Two of our subscriber have experience same thing. As a mater of fact I got call from one of them this morning. He has been trying to have his account activated for days. The funny aspect of it now is that his account is not even a new account.

Rating:-

On scale of 1 to 10 I will give them 2 for customer care because it’s suck.

Quality of starcomms internet service:

• I don’t see much difference between their izap evdo services and 1x. My expectation before buying it was that I should be able to enjoy fast speed from their evdo while in office since my office is in ikeja (precisely on allen avenue) not too far from starcomms ikeja office. But unfortunately, it’s not that different from 1x that I use at home.
• Their internet connection breaks a lot both on izap evdo and 1x.
• Can’t even watch online video on izap evdo.
• I think it is still manageable compare to two other services we’ve tested.

On scale of 1 to 10 I will give starcomms 6 for internet connection speed. However, I believe they have all it takes to improve on the quality of their services.

I wish they improve on time before they start loosing customer to competitors because then they will know that their being first 3g provider and first to be listed on stock exchange will not help them.

What has been your experience with starcomms Nigeria service?
Can you please comment and at the same time rate them on scale of 1 to 10.
