Before I go into details on how to make money on the internet, I will tell you one of the major problems why most Nigerians don’t succeed online, is because the internet is made up of many opportunity which one can exploit, here you will see many people trying to go into four to five system of making money online, which they will end up not achieving success at many of the numerous opportunity. My advice to you as you read this post is to choose one or two and focus on it, set an objective, articulate it, devise a strategy of achieving this objective and work relentlessly hard to achieving your objective.
Here, I will deal with the internet business that works for Nigerians, because is not what work for an American will work for you as a Nigerian, you must have bought many scrap in the past but I assure you if you apply each and every strategy on this post effectively then you are on your way to the top.
Note: Internet business is not a get rich quick business, that is where most people get it wrong, they think you can just jump into the internet and start making millions of dollars. If you are looking for instant riches without doing anything then the internet is not a place for you. There is not much different between
online business and offline business, the only difference is that one is done on the internet while the other is offline. One major advantages of online business is that your business is known globally and you transact business 24 hour a day around the clock. One thing you should guide against in business is instant gratification. Treat your business like business and give it time to work. Don’t expect instant wealth over night and don’t be discouraged when things don’t work out the first time. The systems and business are:


Information Marketing
Information marketing is the combination of two terms “information” and “marketing” where information means a knowledge derived from any source about something or somebody while on the other hand marketing is the process of planning and executing the conception of pricing, promotion and distribution of ideas, products and services to create exchanges that will satisfy the needs of individuals and organization. Or it can be simply be defined as the satisfaction of consumer wants profitably. So therefore information marketing means the derivation of the knowledge of the wants and needs of the consumer and satisfying it profitably. Information marketing is simply marketing of information.
Creating your own info product is the best way of generating stream of income because is so easy to do, so easy to distribute and offers maximum profit potentials. I can wake up with a topic in my mind sit down at my computer, within a short time have a short reports or book I can turn into a downloadable ebook and offer for sale in my website. Anyone can create an info product or sought out for someone to do it for you if you have the required idea. Information marketing is worth investing…………there are many advantage of going into information marketing business.
· It is a money spinner
· Anybody can do it
· Not too much cost in creation of info product
· It is easily accessible and downloadable by buyers
· The profit margin is very high
· You only create your info product once and sell it countless of times
· You can do this business anywhere, you don’t nedd an office or a university degree.

Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is simply the act of performing any action for commission. The action may be selling, referring people, leads, cpa. e.t.c. this is my most favorite way of creating a multiple stream of income because there are hundreds if not thousands of affiliate programs in which you can sign up with and start making money immediately. As an affiliate marketer you market a company’s product when you send them customer or make sales you are paid commission. One good thing about affiliate marketing is that there are as many companies as to work with. Many internet entrepreneurs are now millionaires by not even having their own product but they made their cash by promoting affiliate programs.

As a Nigerian the way things work for us is not it work for an American, so I will guide you on how to successful get into affiliate programs even where Nigerians are not permitted to work with. As a Nigerian to succeed in affiliate marketing with some of the big companies you must do the following:
· A U.S address
· A US phone number
· An ip changer.
Below is link to posts that will guide you to getting the above listed requirements:
· U.S ADDRESS
· HOW TO GET US PHONE NUMBER
The major secret of operating or working on affiliate marketing is foreign presence, that is using u.s address, phone number, us ip. Affiliate marketing does not only end with sales of product and getting commission from merchant, there is an affiliate marketing called cpa this means cost per capital. It is the most easy and profitable affiliate marketing any one can easily operate with. The only obstacle people encounter is the issue of approval by a cpa network. Without me waisting your time, I recommend you read this post for clear understanding, UNDERSTANDING CPA AND GET APPROVED BY CPA NETWORK after which you download this report from the world number one cpa marketer, this report will stand as your guide to successful money making with cpa click her to download.

That is you will be making 20,000 naira every week just with one church, so now check the situation whereby you do it for five to ten organization. To set up your own customize sms business go to SMS BUSINESS SET UP and set up your own sms business and start making cool cash for yourself.
Web Hosting Business
Webhosting business is a multimillion business in the internet which has generated a lot of cash/dollars to its operator, company like yahoo.com, lonex e.t.c are making a lot of money doing this business. This business is so important and lucrative that every domain ( website ) needs to be hosted in other to put up your designed website in the cyberspace so that the world can see. It simply involves allocating a space to website owners through which the sites operate. This business is yet to be tapped. As a little entrepreneur which you are, you can tap from this big opportunity by becoming a reseller, by buying of webhosting space from big companies and distributing it to website owners for a fee. This is a high earning business that when set up will continue to generate stream of income. In this business most of the services offered by resellers are so good that consumer do not know they are dealing with resellers who do not have servers.
This resellers business can be more profitable if you understand the nitty gritty of the business. Let’s check it out. One can buy around 1000MB space from the web host at 25$ (About 3700) per month. This 1000MB you bought can now be redistributed to site owners who can who need space for uploading their sites. Which you can give out like 25MB for around N2000 per month, this means that your monthly income will be times 10-20 times the amount of buy the space. Ok…for instance you sell 40 units, that mean that your monthly income will be about around N80, 000. Here the hosts allow you to even oversell the space and do not charge you extra unless the actual usage of your account exceed 1000MB. Which sometimes a typical users uses less than allotted which means you can even double and triple your income and made unlimited wealth. And one beautiful thing about this business is that the income will keep on coming month after month, year after year. You do the work once and get paid over and over again.
The summary of this business is that you will be buying space from the major web host company and becoming a reseller host. Your efforts are focused on selling hosting space and your web hosts handles the others. Some of them even handle customer’s services for a small fee, which makes it easier for you.
In this business you can add to your income by adding or recruiting more resellers, by doing this you will earn a residual commission on their monthly sales.

Domain Name Business
This business is one of the lucrative business in the world today, this business is very hot this is because thousands of people are cashing in on domain name business, I can boost of many Nigerians who makes thousands of naira and dollars, daily, weekly, monthly with this business just by registering domain name.
One good thing about this business is that it is very easy and requires a very low cost investment and a high and huge profit potential. This business can also be known as online real estate. Domain business is taking a different style and growing to a level of unlimited moulds of income now.
Let’s start……,
What is domain name: domain name have many definition from different authors and experts. It can be simply referred to as name assigned to a website in the worldwide web. It is a unique address on the internet. It can be likened to your company name registered with corporate affairs commission. This is an example of domain name www.enairablog.com as company registrations are on first come first serve basis, so domain name are. Before you begin to make money from domain names you need to learn about what makes a domain name valuable, here are some of the characteristic: they must be memorable and short, in generics, easy to pronounce and spell, common/popular words and phrases, marketability, dot.com. no hyphens or numbers, good traffic e.t.c.
How ever, domain name differs from one another with what is call extention like .com, .net, .info, .edu, .biz, .gov e.t.c . the few best places you can register domains for people are www.namecheap.com, www.007names.com, www.syskay.com, www.godaddy.com e.t.c for sites just go to google.com and search for “register domain” or “buy domain” you can find a company that you can buy domain from as low as $6.
To start this business, you will need to set up a website as a reseller or even without a website. Advertise to people to buy a domain name from you or to help them register a domain. A friend of mine, registered up to 10 domains in two days in which the clients paid N2000, he then went on purchese and registerd the domain for them with just $6.99. Do you see how he smartly earned himself money by just staying in front of his laptop for just 2 hour a day. The secret of this business is more market (more promotion), then comes more cash.

Resell Rights Business
To put it simple, resale right business is awesome and hot. They are one of the best thing that can ever happens to internet beginner and thousands of people have make fortune or at least a good living from resell rights. This is how many top internet marketers started. This business needs no stress; all that is required is to resell the ebooks, articles you bought.
The internet is exploding and will continue doing so. Only when people stop searching for information online will this business stop working. (Which is never). The biggest obstacle for me was to believe that people are actually willing to pay for information, I was pleasantly surprised and so will you, if you haven’t made a dime yet, and you are still a non-believer.
Resell right is simply obtaining rights to other people’s products and sell for 100% profit as if you created them. the possibilities in this business are really limitless because the number of problems you can dig up from several field of number of human endeavors rights here in Nigeria determines more money you make. It must however be noted that whatever products you are going to obtain rights to must solve a problem for a lot of people because this is one of the easiest way to get millions of people to open their wallet to buy your product.

There are two basic ways to make money with resell rights, you can either buy resell rights to someone else product which gives you the right to sell it and keep 100% of the profit or you can sell rights to people who wants to have rights to sell product and keep 100% of the profits.
You might be wondering, “ why would someone give you rights to his/her product, for others to resell”. The answer is simple in every eBook there are links. These links give exposure to the author of the e-book. So it’s a win win situation, the author gets exposure to his links and reseller gets to make money from a ready made product. Some of the website where you can get good less but quality resell rights products are: www.masterresalerights.com, www.master-resale-rights.com, www.resale-rights.com, www.resellgoodies.com,
www.masterresellrightsclub.com, e.t.c.

Online Payment/Transaction Business
One of the major problems of Nigerians as at today is online payment. Have you ever spotted a product online and you desperately wanted to buy it but couldn’t because you lacked a credit card? Iof you have that problem, thousands, if not millions of Nigeria internet users users have it and if you can find a cost effective way of solving this problem, you may well be on your way to make a fortune online.
Example of what online payment/transaction business look like is www.fastecash.com, www.epaymonster.com, the best way to get going in this business is to hep people make payments, it is very easy to start. You will be using only one card. That is easy manageable for you. There are many solutions online that helps you get visa cards you can use to make payments onlin. Some of them are reloadable and some are not.
The strings attached to getting the reloadable card is tighter than a non readable card. So I will advice to get a non reloadable to begin with.
You can also get reloadable cards from the following merchants www.cardex.com, chequepointcard.com, www.apassporte.com. When you start your business and you begin to gain a lot of confidence, you can expand into obtaining cards for others. Just set up the website for the business or you integrate it with already existing websites of yours with other services. This is one business that will need you to build customer loyalty first and then you wil see your unlimited and endless stream of income.

Start A Membership Site Business
This is guaranteed money earner. If done well, it can generate massive money for you. What is required in this business to be successful is your time and hardwork.
This business subscription based membership sites are quickly becoming the easiest way for people to make a solid income online. Why? Because instead of just selling a N3000 eBook for one time sale, you can continually build up a N2000 - N4000 per month membership based website that earns you a grater income 24 hours a day. Running one of these sites is probably the easiest thing you could ever do because your taking something that you truly enjoy. Best of all, there is plenty of income to be raned by providing those online with content.
Here is example of a membership site dotcomclass.com owned by Patrick Ogidi. Membership sites are growing daily online and if you ve been on the internet very long (or even a short while), you‘ve certainly comes across a paid memebership site, since they are growing exponentially and for a good reason increasing numbers of business online have realized that people are willing and easier to pay for easy access to information that will help them.
To start up, buy up as many ebooks as possible and stock your website well, include the ebooks of some top marketers even without them giving you their rights. But make sure you give a strict warning to your members that they cannot give it out in any form, its just for then to read. Make sure you promote your memebership website very well. You can set up the website inform of a forum, like nairaland and restrict memebership, while you will only be the person to approved and sign up members.

If you really want to make money online for a very long time. I suggest you go into "Online Advertising". Many websites are created everyday and they need to be seen. They need their website to make an impact. Sell advertising and give people traffic. There are many programs that can help you make it huge with this opportunity. Stop struggling to earn peanuts online(98 of those who want to make money online never do) when you can join the big guys easily.

In some programs, you don't even need a website. Just Promote them and Earn an "incremental" income forever ( as long as the internet lasts). As long as the websites you refer continue to buy advertising packages, you will continue to earn.
Some of this programs don't use PayPal, they support liberty reserve and Solid trust pay, so you just need to make up your mind for business.

How to Start Making Money With Twitter
Making money with Twitter is one of the various means of earning online. Twitter is an online social networking service and microblogging service that enables its users to send and read text-based messages of up to 140characters, known as "tweets". Since its inception in 2006, Twitter has grown with millions of people connecting, socializing and making money with it. Today, will be discussion the last part which entails making money with Twitter. Pls note, however that you can not make money directly from Twitter but leveraging the power in its huge fan base to promote, sell or advertise your goods and service.

It is a pity that most Nigerians have the mindset that making money online is simple, straightforward work. No! It is excruciatingly difficult and complex. And if anyone tells you you can earn 1000+ dollars a day online, consider that person either stupid, a scam, plain ignorant or all three!

However, as the OP has said, patience is key...sadly, Nigerians are not known to be patient. We want it and we want it now...bad thinking again.

The first payment I got online was after 6 hard months of working my ass off. And guess what? It was $168. I cannot forget that figure in a hurry.

To cut a long story short, I've put together a blog that handles all about making money, both online and offline. You can check it out here: http://www.notopoverty.com.

Any questions? Just ask, either here or on the blog and I'll clarify?

@ Doncy,your article is very comprehensive and interesting.I love this.
