In this FINAL MONEY Post #88, you'll add Event Schema to Blogger events posts. This is how you rank for "events in Lagos this weekend" and earn from ticket affiliate.

Step 1: Why Event Schema Wins Events Near Me 2025

Google Events carousel shows only Event Schema posts - above all blogs.

Step 6: Test Event Schema + Get in Google Events

  1. Rich Results Test: search.google.com/test/rich-results → Enter event URL → Must show Event valid with startDate, location, offers price
  2. Schema Validator: validator.schema.org → Check startDate must be ISO with timezone +01:00 for Nigeria, not just date. endDate must be after startDate
  3. Google Events: After 3 days, search Google "events in Lagos this weekend" → Events carousel → Your Blogger event should appear. If not, check eventStatus = EventScheduled, not Cancelled
  4. Fix: offers price error: price must be number 20000 not "20,000" with comma. priceCurrency NGN not ₦
  5. Fix: Expired event penalty: Delete event posts 2 days after event ends or change eventStatus to EventCancelled. Google penalizes blogs showing past events as upcoming
  6. Fix: No image: Event requires image 1200px+ wide, not 300px. Use concert flyer HD

Step 7: How Event Blogs Make ₦500k in December - Detty December Method

  1. Nairabox affiliate: nairabox.com/affiliates → Get link for each concert → Earn 10% per ticket: ₦20k ticket = ₦2k per sale x 100 tickets = ₦200k per event
  2. Eventbrite affiliate: For tech conferences, Eventbrite 15% commission
  3. Google AdSense: December traffic spike: "Detty December events" = 50k searches/day, AdSense RPM $5 = $250/day
  4. Organizers pay: Once you rank, event organizers pay ₦50k to feature their event on your blog

Bad practice to avoid: Posting fake events or events without permission. Always verify event from organizer Instagram/official site. Don't add past events with future dates to game traffic - Google bans event spam. Add disclaimer "We are not organizer, contact organizer for verification". For church events free, set offers price 0 + priceCurrency NGN + category Free.
