Free Tutorial - The Hidden Secrets Of How Gurus Make Money Online In Nigeria

And so i decided to start this thread because i notice that various Nairalanders are asking questions on how they can make money online in Nigeria and each time they ask, there are bunch of individuals and "half baked" marketers who's only suggestion is for the individual asking to buy their ebook and their product etc.

Before i go on, i'd like to state the following:

a. I am not selling you anything on this thread whatsoever. So if you are one of the individuals whose job is to go about every thread insulting people, please don't do it here. I am not one of those who come here to sell something.

b. Everything i say on this thread are based on my own experience from what i do (not from what i read like other people). If you think i wrote something in a specific way and you feel that i am wrong or that you think that;s not the way to do it, then you should go and start your own thread.

c. Please do not send me a private email asking me to help you set up your businesss (i get a lot of emails on this). Why would i want to create your biz for you when i can easily do it for myself.

d. Everything i say is my own opinion. I am not a lawyer, not an accountant or a professional. I'll not be liable for any positive or negative result you get as a result of reading my post/tutorial.

e. I am going to type without editing my post. If you are looking for someone who has a PHD in English, go to University. Overlook my typos, and read the gems in my words.

f. I only want action takers on this thread. I want you to ask me questions and i want you to implement what i teach you. That's the only way you can start out/improve on your business etc.


Now that we have all of that out of the way, lets get started on this training. It will go on and on until i lose steam for it. Feel free to add stuffs along the way.

To your success,

So how do Guru'smake their money online? I am going to share it with you. I want you to put everything you are doing to the side. Stop watching all the porns on your computer and close your facebook page, because i am going to teach you what most marketers will never share with you.

Instead of sharing the truth with you, they'd prefer to keep it to themselves, and that is the essence of this tutorial.


Now, you might be wondering, how can you make money online? What's the best way to go about it? You are about to find out:

Now, if i ask you or anyone on this forum, "How many different ways can one make money online", quite a lot of people will start listing 10-15, 20 30 ways to make money online. Infact, if you do a google search, you'll find a book titled 135 ways to make money on the internet.

As much as there is a profileration of such nuances online, i am pleased to tell you that there are only THREE ways to make money online.

Yes, only 3 ways and trust me, they are very simple:


==> Selling their own product/service online

==> Selling someone else product online

==> Selling advertising space (also called Income from advertising).


Yes, those are the only three ways and every other thing they've always told you, hinge on to this. No matter how well a particular sales letter was written or no matter how "shiny" a software is, it has to boil down to the three things above.

Now, i always laugh and even shake my head each time i see newbies and even half baked internet marketers always looking for ways to "open a clickbank account" and open a "paypal account".

Its just like someone trying to build a house and the first thing they are doing is trying to buy the furnitures in the house. Truth is, if you want to make money online, you ABSOLUTELY don't need those two.

I know it might shock you and this might go against what everyone has been telling you. But if you stick to what i am teaching, you'll know for sure that that is the truth.

In my next tutorial, i'll be dissecting the three methods and breaking it down to little pieces. If you have questions, comment, please do post. I hpe you are reading this insightful post!

We are ll ears go on with the lectures,

While you are at it, don't forget to teach them backlink building, social media marketing or bookmarking, SEO, keyword Research, viral marketing,forum market, search engine ranking,article marketing etc. Because without any of this skills, you aren't teaching anything different than what other naija IM'ers has done in the past and the lack of this account for mass failure of naija guys who are planning to make money online.

Plus, You can also make money selling service online like article writing or backlink building. In fact, that is the smartest thing to do when you are just starting.
Goodluck and thanks for courage to help someone out there.

Now i have explained to you in my earlier post that there are just 3 ways you can make money online, irrespective of what anybody tells you.

Now i am going to explain how this works and how its done.

Now, before i go on,  I h ave to bring something to your notice. I remembered when i started my career. As a young person venturing into the Job market, it was quite difficult getting my first JOB. I was young, inexperienced and also with a  no qualification. I mean, if you never went to University, you are not expected to have a DEGREE certificate.

And so, while looking for any work i could get, i discovered that no one would employ someone like me. It was at this time that i started applying for just about any job. It doesn't matter what kind of Job it is, i just send in my own application.

And of all the applications i sent out, the only Job interview i got was for a sales position. I would man the telephones and for every sales i generate, i'll earn a commission. If i don't make any sales, then i don't earn any money.

In Nigerian parlance, this is shitty job. Not even the dumbest person i know of would want a job like this, but since i had no choice, i took it. I hate selling. I find it difficult winning arguments and meeting new people so selling (either over the telephone or face to face) is something i NEVER would want to do.

But i took this Job and i keep on at it. I knew i had bills to pay, and it's either i make something out of this or I go back to Job Hunting.

And for 3 months, i continued in this Job until i got a better offer. But in those months, i learnt the techniques of selling. And i'll share them here:

a. Without sales, whichever company you currently work for will not be able to pay your Salary (yes you, the one that hates selling).

b. Its not hard to sell. If you learn the mechanics of how it works

c. Its the most single important skill you must learn if you want to start your own business (either online or offline).

And that comes to what i want to say:

THERE IS NO WAY YOU WILL MAKE MONEY ONLINE IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO SELL SOMETHING

Yes, i mean it. If you are one of the individuals who want to learn how to make money without selling something, please don't bother. Stick to your JOB and get paid monthly. This is an Ocean with Big sharks, if you can't swim for survival, then don't even bother jumping into it.

I have heard of individuals who want to make money online and they say something in this line "Can you help me set it up and it will COUGH up money on Autopilot". Let me say this, there is nothing like that.

Really, if any GURU could make money on autopilot, why would they want to set it up for you instead of setting it up for themselves?

If you want to EARN, You must learn to SELL, I repeat, If You want to EARN, you must learn to SELL. If you can't SELL, then you won't EARN, no matter how much you try to, no matter how many ebooks and softwares you buy.

Thanks 4 d lecture, pls go on

Good one fellow! You are a real philantropist!

Dainy1:

Thanks 4 d lecture, pls go on

You are welcome, am glad you are reading this.

baabaa:

Thank you for your lecture sir. What are the likely things to sell online?

Don't be in a rush, I definitely will touch on what you can sell. This is a tutorial, not an article. It will take a while to complete it, so be patient with me and i'll only be writing in my spare time.

And so i shared the three ways that you can make money online. As a revision, they are below:

==> Selling their own product/service online

==> Selling someone else product online

==> Selling advertising space (also called Income from advertising).

Now i am going to expand on this a little further and i really want you to pay attention. This is because what i am about to tell you, no matter how simple it is is crucial to the success of what you want to do online.


We already maintained that to make money online, you have to sell something. And i have had so many people asking what they can sell online. We are coming to that in a little while.

So if we look at those three ways:

a. Selling personal product/services: There are two types of products and services and they can be classified as Tangible and Intangible.

Tangible products/Services are the ones you can touch with your hand.

Intangible products/services are the ones you can't feel with your physical hands, but you can see/feel the value it gives.

So lets say for example, you go to www.amazon.com and you buy a book which is a physical book, if the book is delivered to you through the Nigerian postal service, this book is physical paper and its considered Tangible.

Lets say you purchase the book online and you were able to download the book on the internet in form of PDF to your computer instantly, then that is called Intangible product, simply because you cannot feel a PDF/ebook with your hand.

Also, if i design a website for you online, it is an Intangible service, however, if i print a flyer/newsletter/business card for you, its a Tangible product. Do you read this? Do you understand?, Are you following me?, Good. If you don't understand this, go back up and read this again.

Now, the above is just an example.

Other Tangible products could include: Charcoal (exporting), TV's, Video Games, or any physical thing that can be marketed online.

Other Intangible products include: Downloadable Videos, Audios, E-books, Softwares, membership subscription, newsletter subscription etc


Now that i have explained this bit, lets move on.

So if i have a product of my own, I can decide to sell it online. This product could be tangible or intagible. It doesnt matter, as long as i own the product, i can sell them online.

This is the basics of the first way; which is "Selling my own product".

Now, let me give you two good examples:

Example 1: Do you know Brian Tracy? If you don't know him, let me tell you a bit about him. You see; Brian is one of the best personal Development Coach of our time. He owns a company called Brian Tracy International and all he sells is Intangible products in form of Audios, Ebooks and Videos. They are Intangible products of what he created as a motivational speaker. So if he creates something like "How to become a better person" Audio CD, He can sell this CD online. This is what he does and his company makes over $1 million in a year.

The product is his and he sells them and make all the profits

Example 2: Do you know Tom Hsieh? You most likely won't know him. This guy has a website called www.zappos.com and when he started, he sells Shoes. This guy import shoes and then sell it for a higher margin. In 2009 (not sure of the year), he did over $1 billion Dollars in sales!. I don't mean millions o, 1 Billion! That is like 80% of what some Nigerian banks does.

You know what's funny about this, this guy does not have a physical shop. He sells all of them online.

So Brians products are Intangible while Tom's products are Tangible and you know what? They both sell them online.

I hope the above just explained a bit about the first way. If you have a product, start thinking of how to sell it online now, just like the above. If you have any ideas, simply start scribbling them down.

Once i explain the other two ways of making money online, we are going to be moving to core marketing and selling training, where i'll show you how to harness the above.


I told you, this will be COMPLETELY different from what the GURU's told you. I am sure they told you you need all those various accounts and then you spend months trying to open them.

I am teaching you core marketing stuffs, make use of it.

Thank u. lecture well explained. go on am with u. Nice time out there.

I am one of those that hate sales. You have got me thinking, if I could sell for someone, why not sell for myself.

Its ok to hate sales. I do as well. However, i learnt it. Think about it, you had to sell yourself to your employer before you were employed. The only reason why we all hate sales is because:

a. We personally have -ve attitude towards people who sell to us
b. We don't believe in the product we are selling
c. We believe selling has to be face to face (selling to someone physically by carrying products round town).

Remember the Oga in your office that you had to convince to increase the budget of your department, you sold him your idea, so you know sales, lol

dchoosen:

Thanx 4 this lecture but i find it very difficult to believe dat u are a nigerian lol, am sorry i dont mean anytin -ve but it just d way our peeps dey do 4 online. gud job

I am Nigerian, and a typical one at that, and the fact that a certain sect of people do something a certain way, doesn'nt make everyone from same tribe/country the same

muwas2010:

Good day,
it is true that people make money on the internet ,but is either you are service provider,producer and not consumer. Same way you cannot label everyone from afghanistan as terrorist.

Who are you? Stop posting advert on my thread. If you want to advertise, go to your own thread and do so. Stop acting like a half baked marketer

Where is ou Lecturer now?

I already state that i'll be posting this tutorial in my spare time. I don't spend all my time on Nairaland, so do bear with me.

By the way, what have you done with what i already taught, has it spurred an idea in you?


Note to everyone else: The Antispam robot that Seun has put on this site keeps banning me each time i mention cli.c.k.b.a.nk, p.a.y.p.a.l and any ecommerce terms on this thread. So bear with me.

And so i shared the three ways that you can m.ake mo.ney on.line. As a revision, they are below:

==> Selling their own product/service online

==> Selling someone else product online

==> Selling advertising space (also called I.ncome from advertising).

@gbengaijot

Nothing to say for now more than thank you so much, as we all come one after the other to read and gain from your knowledge so shall God continue to increase u by His grace. We are jacking abeg fire on. We cant wait to get to the end of this lecture,

Good job.Thanks

In my last post, i shared with you, how you can sell your own product online. I gave example of how Brian Tracy and Tom Hsieh make mon3y online with their own products. Another individual i forgot to name is a guy called Eben Pagan.

You see, Eben Pagan is a great mentor of mine. I have never met him, but he mentors me almost every day through emails i get from him and through his books i buy. I once paid over $350 to buy an educational product from him on how to sell online. I read it, read it again, implemente it, failed at it, tweak it, until it starts to give me result. This is what most individuals on Nairaland don't do.

They buy ebooks/systems all over the internet, read it and because they don't understand it, they just dump it and jump at another offer from another person who claims to be the "Know it all person". The truth is, no one expects you to buy a book and epect to know it all in your first reading.

Let me ask you something, while you were in school, did you ever buy a textbook and the first time you read it all, you understood everything and jumped into your exam? Did you?

Definitely not!

Same thing with all educational products you buy on "bizness opportuni.ties!.

And so i digress a little bit. You see, Eben pagan like i said is a guy who owns a $30 million business on the internet. Yes, he makes that much every year and guess what he sells? He sells "ebooks".

And guess what the ebook is all about? No, it has nothing to do with "how to make mon3y". He sells ebooks to millions of people on "how to get a girlfriend", lol

And that is what this guy sells. And because a lot of people have issues with this, they are rushing to buy his ebooks. The ebooks were written by him as a result of extensive research.

In Nigeria, most individuals selling ebooks are selling ebooks on "how to make mon3y onl.ine". The reason is because, its an obvious niche that so many newbies are ignorant about.

Funny thing is that, every tom, dick and harry is selling ebooks on this nowadays. Even the Tom who was plain lucky to attend a seminar yesterday will start posting everywhere on the internet for you to come and buy their book on "how they make mon3y from domains".

If you go around Nairaland, and you see people posting email addresses, they are part of this menace. They are called half baked internet marketers,

You don't want to join them. I'll show you how to become a better one. I don't need you to send me a private email. All i am asking is that, you read what i have been posting, deep think on it, ask questions and lets rub minds together.

Next post, i'll be sharing with you how to sell other people's product and earn commission on it,

@everyone, i am sorry i'll have to stop doing this tutorial. This is the 5th time i'll be posting and i keep getting banned by the antispam bot and th moderators keep deleting my post.

Funny thing is that the moderators keep deleting the post, despite the fact that i never at all advertised any products, neither did i asked anyone to send me a private email.

Yet, despite all of the antispam bots aggressiveness, there are still lots of people posting spam on this Business/Money category and they are getting past the Moderators.


Sorry guys, i'll only be able to continue this tutorial on my website, the one in my signature.
