Due to the abuse of the internet by some Nigerian miscreants, it has become increasingly difficult for legitimate business and service providers operating in Nigeria to attract clients online.

I invite you all to contribute your ideas on how we can eliminate this situation so that legitimate nigeria businesses and services online will get more sales and profit.


Drop you ideas below. I'll go first

An easy solution to eliminate this situation is to get a US Virtual Phone Number.

What is US virtual phone number?
It is a USA phone number configured to ring on your phone line here in Nigeria when dialed.
In other words, its like making your sim have another number which you can be contacted with.

Having a USA Phone Number can get you more client online because;

When clients notice that you have a US Phone line they assume that;
You are based in America or
A US based company/individual is in partnership with your business or
A US based company/individual make use of your business for outsourcing services requested by their clients.
Also clients and prospects in U.S will like to give you a call because you appear to be closer and therefore the
call cost will be cheap

As a result of these, clients take your business more seriously and also have more confidence doing business with you
simply because of the American association.
By acheiving this, you have successfully eliminated Nigeria scam reputation.

You can get your sim configured to a US Phone Number online at http://www.usacallsms.com

We can form an association of ethical, legitimate and responsible netrepreneurs.

This is a great idea.
Can you throw more light on this

This is a nice idea.
My contribution is for online business to have a personalize email address instead of a free email account.

I'll rather patronize a business with the email address
sales@shoezone.com ahead of shoezonesales@yahoo.com

Getting a personalize email address makes your business more professional and thus increases sales and patronage.

Check out: www.naijadealer.com a community built around buying and selling with escrow services to safeguard users from fraud.

Membership is continually monitored and you can see a dealer's sales history as a guide to doing business with them.

New ideas are welcome

Anymore contributions?

I have been waiting for this kind of topic to come up. I suffered a lot in the hand of these scammers especially in the area of info materials purchasing. Sometimes you buy an info material and later discovered that the so-called info prodict is outdated and useless. Sometimes you paid but the randy info marketer refused to send the materials you paid him for. But I thank God today because in every adversity there is an equivalent advantages in it. That was what gave birth to productspartnersellers.com. I will come back to say much about this site but meanwhile please check out the site and give us your candid opinions about it.

May God help us in Nigeria. We cannot continue to hide our identity as Nigerians. We should rise up to the occasion. I beleive that Nigeria shall be great again and her glory shall be restored only it may take time, positive efforts of good citizens and prayers

Happy weekend to every Nairalanders

you have made a valid point. So how do we go about opening a bank account with our business name. What is required?

more ideas needed

I feel if you're getting a US phone number for the sole aim of having people think you're based in the US is deceitful, and that's going to compound the problem. So my take is that you have a website that looks serious in all respect and make sure you're running a genuine business. It pays to be real and true. Here's how i do mine: www.makehotmoneyonline.com One final word. Sell to the nigerian market first before worrying about the international market.

I thank God that someone can still remember to bring up a topic like this,MOD PLEASE FRONT PAGE! My suggestion and advice is that we should be careing&show some love ie you may have an idea that can help your brother but you will not show him&if want at all you copy your account nø&give the person inform of info marketing!what i'm trying to say is let this info marketing things reduce a little&lets be our brothers keeper! Secondly please if you know that you are into paypal adder biz,hacking&cracking of peoples account& all dubious forms of making money online please remove your hands&stay away from it because i'm seeing a better nation&generation.

You have made a valid point. i quite understand where you are coming from.
I would like you to know that by getting a U.S no. you don't necessarily have to tell callers that you are in the U.S. Just like if i call you on your Nigerian number, i wouldn't ask if you are in Nigeria, i assume you are in Nigeria and discuss what i have to discuss with you.
In business there is what we call flexibility and also call to action, an U.S number will give you that.
