In 2003, there was nothing called Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter. In fact, Facebook debuted on Wednesday, February 4th, 2004. Fast forward ten years later, Facebook and all its founders are now billionaires. The world has changed and is changing exponentially and the future is better than you think.

However to make progress individually or even as a business, we need to ask the right questions. One of such right questions will be: what is the greatest trend in our world right now? And the right answer will be, you guessed right, the internet! But a step in the right direction, though admirable, will not get us to the right destination. We need an accumulation of steps in the right direction. So we must move on to asking other right questions having identified that the internet is the new goldmine!

The next right question may be: where exactly on this vast field of global inter-connections can we find actual gold? Another way to ask this gold-digging question would be: what aspects of the internet generate the most return on investment or even the most revenue? Where is the action…show me the money!!!

I will show you the money but you have to trust that with my expertise and experience, I have your best interest at heart and I am willing to coach you to hit a home-run. I am a Harvard University-certified Consultant, NCFE (UK)-certified Coach, a Microsoft-certified Technology Specialist, a Pan-Atlantic University, School of Media and Communication-trained New Media Strategist and in August, 2013, I was nominated for the prestigious Future Awards Africa [New Media Category] for inspiring social change through social media.

Firstly, let’s explore some facts. Over 60% of smartphone owners utilizes less than 10% of the phones’ capacity. Dummies, right? Hence, the title of this article and my upcoming book on the same issue. Anyway, let’s go straight to the money. I bet you can’t wait.

From a research conducted by US-based Smart Media Technologies, an internet-oriented company founded by David Martin [He made his fortune developing banking security software with his elite programming team] with a vision to become the first (and maybe only) Fortune 100 company that will share its revenue with users globally, the following findings were made about the four highest revenue-generating aspects of the internet:

1. Social Networks
2. Online Games
3. Online Shopping
4. Advertising

Social Networks
The likes of Facebook, LinkedIn, GooglePlus etc. have made, and are still making a fortune from social networks, selling users’ social graphs to advertisers and data-miners. Ello, a recently launched, invite-only social network site is championing the campaign against Facebook’s and other social networks modus operandi: selling users’ social graphs to advertisers. Ello hopes to be sustainable without selling users’ data to advertisers. We’ll see how that goes. But the real issue here is: Social Networks is one of the highest revenue-generating aspects of the internet with Facebook US$7.87Billion revenue and 1Billion+ users, Twitter US$664 million REVENUE and 500Million+ users, LinkedIn $1.52 billion revenue and 184Mmillion+users. The question to ask here is: if I am being paid a cent for every action my social network contacts (friends, followers, family and foes) perform online, how much would I be worth right now? The answer is already available.
Online Games
Do you know that the popular Candy Crush (created by ) grosses a whopping $2.5Million daily for the company and platforms (Facebook, Apple Store, OVI Store and Google Play Store) and the company that created the game has just been listed on the New York Stock Exchange? In fact, Smart Media Technologies report claimed that 50% of internet users go online to play games! Don’t just act surprised, be surprised but also be aware of the immense opportunity in a sector like this where fun leads to fortune fundamentally through in-game purchases and in-game adverts. The questions to ask here is: how can I cash in on this incredible opportunity by owing and giving out games to as many people as possible? Once again, the answer is already existing.

Online Shopping
If you think Jumia and Konga are not making money, ask the founders. What about IrokoTV, Hotels.ng Mymusic.com.ng etc. While you may be right in your argument that the money being made online in Nigeria is child’s play compared to what the Amazons, Ebays, Alibabas etc. of this world have, and are making, you should know that though Rome was not built in a day, it was built at the end of the day! The total projected value of online sales by 2017 is US$370Billion and US$440Billion. The (creation) and exchange of value has moved out of bricks and mortars and is now resident online. Even banks are now trying to play catch up with internet-based and mobile financial solutions like Paypal, who are daily snatching customers from the death-grip of traditional banking solutions. The question here is obvious: if so much money is being exchanged online, how, where, when and what do I need to do to make my own? The answer, as usual, is accessible.

AdvertisingI doubt is any other industry have experienced radical transformation, brought about by the internet, like the advertising (and its dependent) industry. The entire Google empire is built on advertising or to put it in perspective, 85% of Google’s income comes from advertising and Google is the most capitalized company in the world! It’s no joke that Google can pay for (buy) some African countries put together. Online advertising is undoubtedly the ‘core’ of our internet goldmine. This is where you’ll find not only gold but also diamond, uranium, palladium, plutonium and all those other metals that gold respect.
