My Nigerian Intern

By Jeremy Schoemaker 16 comments »

So I had this person contact me wanting to learn from me. Aparently he didnt see the karate kid and learn that it takes hard work…. or something..

On 10/31 i recieved this pm from a kingsley

Hi,
I want to make a request from you. i want to work with you so that you can educate me more on using adsense to make money. though i have not started, i want to be like you making money through adsense.
thank you.
Kingsley

So I reply with

Where are you located? I do some internships for local students.

then he replys with

HI
Actually, i am far from you in different planet. am from Nigeria. So you can see it is a far place. i want to understudy you cos my goal now is to make 500D p/d. Don’t let that scare you.thanks for your time.
Kingsley.

to which I reply with:

The first think you need to do is have atleast 1000 posts here on digitalpoint. Ask a lot of questions.

to which he replys back with

what about you guilding me to reach my goal.

which i reply

That is the first step.

His reply:

i hope you are not afraid of me cos of my location. If you want to help me out, please do so there is nothing for you to be skeptical about.

My reply:

I am not skeptical at all. Your first step of guidance is to make 1000 posts on digitalpoint. Let me know when you have completed that and I will give you more training.

Maybe I should PM you a lil more about my dedication and history?

I have 5.5k posts - Can I be taught?
Seriously though - the way to make money through adsense is to read 1,000 posts every week. Never to write 1,000 posts… That will just end up getting you addicted to dp and we all know where that’ll get you
