How I Made My First $10 on Lodpost With Just My Phone - My Honest Story

I will never forget the day I made my first $10 on Lodpost. I was very broke and I was looking for a way to make money online in Nigeria without paying any registration fee. I had tried many apps that promised to pay me, but they all failed me. Some asked me to pay N2000 first, others gave me tasks that never ended.

One evening, while I was scrolling on Facebook, I saw someone talking about Lodpost. He said he was getting paid for writing articles. At first, I thought it was a scam like the others. But he posted his payment proof and it looked real. I decided to try it because it was free.

I went to lodpost.com on my small Android phone and I registered. Immediately, I got $0.25 welcome bonus. That small bonus gave me hope. I said to myself, even if this platform gives me $0.25 for free, it is better than those apps that collect my money.

My First Article Failed

My first article was very short. I wrote only 100 words about "How to make money". I did not add any heading, I did not add any image. After 24 hours, it was rejected. I felt very bad.

I went to read articles of other writers on Lodpost. I noticed something. All the articles that had many views were long. They were at least 600 to 800 words. They had clear headings, they had good cover images, and they were teaching something useful.

So I decided to change my strategy.

How I Wrote My Second Article

For my second article, I chose a topic that many Nigerians search for. I wrote about "How to get free data on MTN". I used my phone to research small points on Google, but I wrote everything in my own words. I did not copy.

I made my article long. I wrote about 750 words. I divided it into sections: What is free data, MTN codes, Airtel codes, Glo codes, and conclusion. I added headings to make it easy to read. I also searched for a clear image of a phone showing data on Google and I used it as my featured image.

After I submitted it, it was approved within 6 hours. I was very happy.

The Secret of Getting Views

After approval, my article had only 5 views in the first day. I was worried again. Then I remembered what one top writer said. He said "Writing is 50%, sharing is 50%".

So I started sharing my article link.

First, I posted it on my WhatsApp Status. I wrote "Guys, MTN is giving free 5GB, check how to get it here - link". Many of my contacts viewed my status and clicked the link.

Second, I joined 10 Facebook groups about making money online and free data. I posted my link there with a short description.

Third, I shared it on Telegram channels for students.

By the next morning, my article had 420 views. My earnings moved from $0.25 to $1.10.

How I Reached $10

I did not stop there. I wrote a third article about "FG Loan 2026 - How to Apply". That article got even more views because many people are looking for loans. In two days, it got 1800 views.

My fourth article was about "How students can make money". It got 900 views.

Within 12 days of consistent writing and sharing, my total views across all my articles reached over 5000 and my balance became $10.35.

I requested withdrawal via bank transfer. I was scared that they would not pay me. But after 28 hours, I received an alert of N16,200 in my OPay account. That was my first $10 from Lodpost.

What I Learned That Can Help You

If you want to make your first $10 fast on Lodpost, here are the lessons I learned:

1. Write long articles. Never write less than 600 words. Lodpost loves long, useful content. Short articles will be rejected or will not get views.

2. Choose hot topics. Write about what Nigerians are searching for every day. Topics like Free Data, Loans, JAMB, How to Make Money, and Football always get views.

3. Use a good featured image. An article with a clear and attractive image gets 5 times more clicks than an article without an image. Use an image that matches your title.

4. Share your link everywhere. Do not just publish and leave it. Share on WhatsApp Status every morning and evening. Share in Facebook groups. Share on Telegram. The more genuine clicks you get, the more you earn.

5. Be consistent. Do not expect to make $10 in one day. Write one long article every day. After 10 days, you will have 10 articles bringing you views daily. That is how you grow.

My Plan Going Forward

Now that I have made my first $10, my target is to make $50 this month. I plan to write one article every day for the next 30 days. I know that if I have 30 long articles, I can be making $3 to $5 daily without writing new ones, because my old articles will continue to get views.

Lodpost has changed my life. I no longer beg for data or for small money. I can now pay for my own data and even support my family small.
