Sell Online
In Nigeria, we have had a huge shift as to what we called the traditional and only way to buy or sell items.
With the growth of the Internet and Computers in Nigeria, people are now embracing the e-culture.
Many companies from Europe have started investing heavily in Nigerian start-ups.
These days, we have a number of Online shopping sites like Kaymu, Konga, Jumia, Dealdey and so many others.
If you have a product you produced locally and struggling with sales, you can use a service like that of Kaymu.com.ng – you can sell products locally made on the site for free.
So, if you make an Ankara pouch for a Tecno Phantom Pad or even a Samsung or HTC phone, you can easily sell this online.
There are now some other options coming up like Konga and Jumia recently opened up their own marketplaces as well which is making the competition even more.
Selling whatever you have online is a good source of income when you don’t have a 9-5 job.
Affiliate Programs
Another way you can make money online is by joining Affiliate programs.
Many e-commerce sites in Nigeria have rolled out their own Affiliate program and I am sure will follow in months to come.
The Affiliate program is a form of online marketing.
So, if you have a huge social media profile on places like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram; promote your Affiliates links using these channels and the returns are usually great.
All you need is your effort and careful strategy.
Start a Blog
Very recently, a blogger in Nigeria bought a Range Rover 2014 ride! And yes, her number 1 source of income is that Blog.
As I said earlier, you need to put in the effort to do whatever you do.
Careful planning and dedication will make your blog a success.
The first step is getting to choose the platform you want to use: WordPress, Blogspot, or a custom-built blog – the choice.
It is not a wise tactic; have the purpose of money-making when starting a blog.
First, you should have a passion for writing interactive stuff that will be engaging to whoever comes across it then when you become popular, you can run ads and even an Affiliate program.
Are you a graduate, a youth corper that has just acquired some skills through the skills program and want to make good money from your skill, or a permanent housewife looking to earn something while at home, one or more of these should help in your quest – Don’t sit, looking for the latest jobs in Nigeria – create your empire, start something today?
