How To Use An ATM (Automated Teller Machine) Terminal In Cameroon

A caption of UBA's ATM Cards

I am going to explain how to use an ATM (Automated Teller Machine) in Cameroon. For every one having a Bank Account in Cameroon and everywhere in the world. This topic should not be a big surprise to you because Cameroon is a bilingual country and ATM language is both in French and in English.

When you use a bank like United Bank for Africa and many others, they are bilingual and you have to select the language you wish. But for checking of the account balance of your UBA account, you have to do it in French especially in the Francophone zones. If you try to check your account balance in English it won't work.

How To Withdraw From An ATM Terminal In Cameroon

Actually when you need some cash, you will obviously want to visit an ATM terminal depending on whether your service provider operates with the terminal. Services like Visa, MasterCard, AmericanExpress e.t.c... is what i mean here.

When you insert you Card (Credit or Debit), the machine will ask you to select language, then "Enter Pin"( you enter your 4 digit pin) and different options will pop up asking whether you just want to check your account balance, withdraw(retrait in French) e.t.c..

When you select one one language, they will ask the account type e.g Saving(Epargne), Current (current in French) e.t.c when you select, different amounts will pop up and if you can not find the amount you need, select "others" and type the amount you want and confirm.
"Your Transaction is Being Processed, Please Wait !" and finally they will ask whether you need to do another transaction, accept or deny if you are done.

I repeat, note that if your were to check your account balance (In French called "solde") in UBA terminal especially in a French zone, you will be forced to select French if not you will not see your balance on your ATM screen.

After the transaction a receipt will pop out at the top right corner of the machine showing the account details of the transaction and the balance.

What To Take Note Of With Your ATM Card In Cameroon

Please, never show your password to anyone because your funds are at risk. Apart from password, even the card number should not be exposed to sharp friends who are kings and queens of buying and selling online. Your cards have an expiry date and a CVV code behind. Please hide them.

A fast guy like me can use your card to buy from all online shops in the world, do my online investments and only for you to rush to your bank the next day to start holding the Bank manager's white collar for your money.

Note that most people write their names on their cards. I can't do that its risky and that means if someone picks your card then all your information about your account is in possession of someone else.

Most people especially women in Cameroon always form lines in front of a teller and hand their cards to their kids and as they play with it, someone can just snap the details and use it later for his/her online purposes.

Am I Safe Buying And Selling Online?

Yes you are safe buying and selling online in Cameroon and everywhere on earth. Websites do not authorize someone to know your Card details online even you that's why you find a series of xxxx at the end of your card online. So you are free to enter your account details online to buy or sell online. Make sure all you online shop emails and passwords are a secret to you.

Please if you have a neighbours and friends using an ATM Card, send it to them as it can help reduce theft and spread good news to thousands of ATM users.

Make Money Blogging In Cameroon [A Must Read]

Make money blogging in Cameroon-Making money online in Cameroon.

Blogging can make you become a millionaire in Cameroon. A blog is a site where articles are frequently updated and those who update them are called bloggers. To make money blogging in Cameroon is not more a misery but what to blog on.

Every Cameroonian can freely create a blog on Blogger.com or on Wordpress which are the most common blogging platforms though both have their positive and negative aspects. For me I prefer Blogger and am just used to it and since it belongs to the giant Google, i think its good to start with.

How To Become A Millionaire Blogging

Firstly, you have to choose a niche e.g Cameroon, USA, Nigeria, India, Ghana, Guatemala, Canada, South Africa, Tunisia, Japan, UK, Estonia, France e.t.c and a cool topic to start with e.g Health and Fitness, Marketing, Agriculture, Show Biz and Entertainment, News and Media, Technology, Science, Education or what you like the most. Start with your first blog post and post at least 4 or 5 per week.

Share on social media, promote your blog on Quora, Facebook, WhatsApp, Google +, LinkedIn, Twitter e.t.c... Blogger permit blogger blogs to be crawl by Google Search Engines for free that's why you may be searching for something on the internet and you are directed to a particular or different websites or blogs because the term you were searching was found similarly on their site. E.g Type "Blogging in Cameroon", my site Fly4studiesCameroon will obviously pop up simply because one of my blog posts has such Words.

Affiliate Marketing

Bloggers in Cameroon are making huge sums from affiliate marketing. With affiliate marketing, you subscribe to a site that sales products or advertise a service and you are given a unique link and when people use it to buy, you earn commission for that buy. E.g YusCard is a company here in Cameroon that exchange bitcoin to cfa and the money sent to you through Mobile Money or through Bank Account, they also have an investment platform. They also have a Visa Card where bitcoins can be bought and stocked in and can be withdrawn in any ATM terminal worldwide. Here is my affiliate link with YusCard. So  I earn as people subscribe through my link. There are others like Jumia, ClickBanks, Binance and thousands of affiliates online.

Advertise on Your Blog

There is what we call third party advertising. Companies like Google, Propellar Ads, ClixSense and many others buy spaces on our blogs to advertise. But Google AdSense is the highest paying company among them. If MTNCameroon wish to advertise a service in their company, they will contact Google, send them the advert and Google AdSense will send these adverts to its blogs in Cameroon. Once people visit the ads, 60% is given to the blogger and 40% is for Google. 

Companies in Cameroon have sites but the sites are not as hot as blogs, these companies may decide to look for bloggers to write a review about their site or the service they offer. You as the blogger may decide to charge 500 words for 15000 fcfa or any amount of your choice.

For you to succeed in becoming a millionaire in Cameroon blogging, you need blog traffic. Write heart breaking stories to catch the attention of readers so the they will obviously subscribe for you blog posts or will always want to re-visit your blog.

Sale Your Own Products

You know your blogging topic so well and you have been blogging on the topic for long and you know how important your topic is to your readers. Collect a few posts and correlate a nice eBook or Printable Book and you start to sell on your blog. You can convert it to html and paste it on your side bar. People can also buy space from you blog to sell their own products. E.g If you are blogging on Health, you may Write a 50 page eBook "How To Cure Malaria in 2 Days". But don't expect enough buys from countries where Malaria doesn't exist though researchers can still buy for studies.

Making money online in Cameroon and becoming a millionaire is not more a new story but many youths are still scared. Blogging doesn't need a lot of coding with blogger because almost all have been done for you. These are a few ways bloggers make money online in Cameroon and becoming millionaires.
