Digital technology is creating business opportunities for people to live, work, and play better in Nigeria. Could you be among the makers, thinkers, and doers, who are disrupting the nation, harnessing its ever-increasing population, and creating new opportunities for progress? Have you been limited by the common notion that you do not have money or enough money to blaze a trail? Do not worry again. The answer is here with you. In my article for e-commerce opportunity in Port Harcourt, I did promise that I was going to give a freebie to my ardent readers on how to run an online shop without money. Yes, I mean no money, no product of your own. Here is the fulfilment of that promise; keep reading and thank me later.

Online Shop:

Have you asked why my article for e-commerce opportunity was focused in Port Harcourt and not Lagos, Abuja, or other cities or places in Nigeria? Well the same principle can be applied to any place so long there is internet network. However, Lagos like Abuja is full, if not oversaturated with such things. It is for the reason we have Jumia and Konga doing most of their deliveries in Lagos for free of charge, because Lagos is their physical headquarter. From our researches on the digital technology trend in Nigeria, we found that Port Harcourt is a field green and ripe for harvesting. We encourage you to take advantage of the city. Let us now go into the business opportunity proper.

Notice in my articles that I am more practical than theoretical; that means that for example I will not define what online shop is but show you how to own one as quickly as you like to. Let me divide online shop ownership into two categories.

Opening your shop on existing and known website
Creating and managing your own website.
In this article, we are focusing on the first; opening a shop on an existing website. The reason is as I promised in my article for e-commerce opportunity in Port Harcourt; you want to own a shop for free. Free of what? Did I say free of charge before? Now add free of a lot of risks and associated management problems. Let me now delve into the step-by-step way you could exploit this business opportunity.

How to Open an Online Shop on an Online Shopping Website:
