What type of business opportunities will you take advantage of if you had 24-7 internet connection?

Well, Its up to you to choose,

Not just choose but more criteria in doing online business, such as commitment and knowledge of the sector. But their are more online business than you can count.

Lets know your desire, What do you feel you can do best with your computer? Its in you! think and reply back,

oh oh Yahooooooo,

Start a blog: www.google.com/search?q=blogging+for+dollars

Do you know that most people are dreaming of having such opportunity. If you are like me, you can generate an endless flow of cash with a free internet access selling information to people who need them.

You will need to avoid the quick money mentality. nothing good comes easy. If you need a solid business, you will have to nurture it to maturity.

Think of long term whenever you are thinking of any investment.

Alternatively, look into ecommerce and sell valuable digital information. It is better to find niches outside the "make money" arena. Look for valuable information in areas you are good at. Say, you love golf, you can sell information on golf,

It applies in many other markets such as the health and fitness, automobile, shoes, gardening etc. your mind is your limitation.

I do this and I can tell it works pretty well. I make over N100,000 monthly doing this.

_{thinking out loud,}
"My interests lie in the ICT field (being a computer science graduate) and i am particularly
interested in database applications (oracle certified), sports [soccer(arsenal)], music
production (hip hop) and graphics design. The problem is that i hate 9-5 with a burning
passion and would like to setup my own web-based business. However i am undecided
about what type of online business to start up.

Guess i'd have to sleep on it."

Touche,life begins with a 24/7 internet connection these days. As the saying goes, the internet changes everything and small guys can now play it big, however, most people are unaware of the extent of change it has brought. I can remember the surprise I felt the day I learnt Nokia, the popular phone maker consists of just 7 people. That particular year, they sold billions of dollars worth of handsets but made a profit of only 40million dollars; they were clearly not in for the profit, but rather the value of the brand, they know how and why they should dominate the world, using the same tools available to you and me today. I also read about how the holding company of western union money transfer had just about 40+ employees. Now that shook me to my bones, (I kept asking myself one question day after day-how do they do that…, 7 people,nokia?) Being an undergraduate at university of Benin at that time, and knowing the fate of the typical Nigerian graduate, my only hope of satisfactory achievement in life was entrepreneurship. Not just entrepreneurship as the average man or woman might know it, but entrepreneurship in the way Nokia (and other idea savvy industry leaders) know it. That is what I often refer to as the “Nokia way”. After plenty of self study and research, I began to recognize a pattern in the activities of these small but mighty companies. They all did what could be easily replicated by any body and easily transferred to any other industry or size of business, whether it’s a single website or a multi-national oil company.

More than ever before, It has become extremely important for everyone to be able to achieve optimum impact with the minimal resources at our disposal. (If you’re born and bred in Nigeria, you’ll agree with me on this).It would interest you to know some of the phenomenal capabilities that exist in our world today and the opportunities created daily, especially for wealth and overall personal success. Most of us are already familiar with some of these opportunities (and even the technologies that make them possible, especially the internet) but to benefit from them, we all could use a little paradigm shift which of course is always pre-requisite to any major progress, yours and mine.
Doesn’t it annoys me when I discuss the subject of e-business or internet business and people just only want to refer to selling egold, affiliate marketing, blogging, online Forex trading, e-books or some meager application of these systems as if that is all there is to it. Why make a cent when you can make a dollar at the same time? Why bring a cup to the stream when you can carry a bucket? I’d often ask them. Many of us may not have $20million to start a site like ‘2nd life’, or the financial and technical skills to configure virtual money like china’s ‘QQcent’. However with our little #20,000(twenty thousand naira) splendid opportunities abounds.

In my humble opinion, the ultimate application of our present possibilities in term of global technology/human development is summed up in one word “e-minipreneuring”, which is a hybrid of e-enterpreneuring and e-micropreneuring. Becoming an e-minipreneur is the modern day equivalent of learning to swim; i.e. it’s fun, it’s the best form of exercise, it’s chic and it’ll get you ahead when others are drowning in the sea (of information in this case) .Its not rocket science and you won’t find it being taught it in schools. E-Minipreneurs seek to monetize the modern day “manna from heaven” AKA “globalization”. They get their business up and running instantly usually on a small scale, relying on everything from rock-bottom priced laptops, printers and open source software, to broadband connections and free telephony (with tech giants battling it out who can bring the free-est of the free to savvy consumers- you and me). They also take advantage of new business to business service models
They combine recent concepts and strategies such as business process outsourcing, information technology outsourcing, strategic alliances, on-demand/turnkey services, co-opetition (rather than competition), internationalization, automation, mass customization (rather than mass production),flexibility, click- to- brick and mortal strategies, along side digital opportunity, globalization, e-business /internet etc; which were once exclusive to major corporations are widely and increasingly available to the average Joe. Unfortunately, Mr. & Mrs. “Average Joe” may never consider using these strategies as they slap together yet another Website or blog in the name of internet business (hoping to become the next ebay or google). No wonder recent research show that most online business owners have at least 5 websites and make an average monthly income of $57.Yes, perhaps Mr. & Mrs. average Joe didn’t have enough money to market their sites like the big names do, but what about the likes of Amazon.com, the giant book seller that never became profitable even with their $2million a pop super bowl adverts? They got it wrong from the start by putting old wine in new bottle. According to Jesus Christ, you will lose both the bottle and that sweet mature wine, hmmm;pity!. So for some people who are nursing the possibility of starting a Nigerian site like ebay, be sure to do it the “Nokia way”, or prepare to pick the broken pieces.

Use your imagination, add a little of your creativity and innovation to all these new possibilities, and as you do, remember the fact that they are within our reach, and then you’d have discovered the “Nokia way” as I mentioned earlier (there is really no better way!). Before your imagination begins to run too wide, you’d agree with me on the fact that there’s no limit to what can be achieved. You may not end up discovering the eleventh planet, but you will definitely make global or regional impact in just about any area of human endeavor, especially in Business.

Here’s a classic example. Have you ever dreamed about offering your own wireless phone service? “Wanna” be MTN (laugh), well just incase you might not know, it can easily be done these days, just by becoming a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO). This is a mobile telephone operator that does not own its own spectrum and usually does not have its own network infrastructure. Instead, MVNO's have business arrangements with traditional mobile operators to buy minutes of use (MOU) for sale to their own customers

Many of us are familiar with simple resellers of telecom services such as long distance, local exchange, and mobile network services and I read in a recent issue of success digest extra of a new arrangement by Nigerian mobile carriers to offer such large scale reseller plans. In contrast, MVNO's typically add value such as brand appeal, distribution channels, and other affinities to the resale of mobile services. What if I told you that starting today you, yes you can be your very own mobile carrier in the US? You might be tempted to doubt it because we all know the business of providing cell phone services has mostly been limited to companies with deep, fat pockets, but a start-up Sonopia Corp. now enables anyone to launch their own wireless service even without up front payments?.

The Sonopia website launched in the beginning of April this year and allows organizations and individuals to create their own branded mobile phone service in just a few minutes online, a feat which took existing virtual operators such as Richard Branson's Virgin mobile (which pioneered the provision of a branded phone service on rented network space) six months to accomplish. Starting your own mobile carrier through Sonopia, you will be able to upload and send exclusive content to your subscribers. You will receive a portion of the monthly proceeds, which can range from 3% to 8% per month based on the number of subscribers. Sonopia will handle all support and billing for your wireless customers .This is a slick way to get people to sign up for mobile phone solutions. It’s kind of amazing that you can start up your own branded mobile service online in 30 minutes

Sonopia allows individuals to create their own calling plans and then sell them to others. Your wireless carrier is just like any other with unique calling plans and allows you to send out messages to your subscribers.
Your wireless network will run on Verizon and Vodaphone infrastructure. Sonopia takes care of passing out handsets, sending out your customized monthly bills, and basic customer service. You take care of getting the customers and raking in the cash. A percentage of the monthly revenue generate from your mobile carrier goes directly to you or your organization. If you can pull in enough subscribers you could stand to make a bundle pretty easily. How is this opportunity open to non us citizens, you might ask. Well my answer to that question is a simple another question. How is the internet open to non US citizens? Remember, the internet changes everything.
Perhaps we should have nairaland mobile for nairalanders living in the US, or maybe all the Yoruba people in the US can start their own service and call it ‘GBEDU wireless’(please oh I don’t mean to be tribalistic. LOL). Your guess is as good as mine; I already started my own network. I named it the emosquitonet. A percentage of my monthly revenue goes to malaria research so that each time my subscribers make a call; they are spreading a tele-mosquitonet over the one million children who die from malaria each year in Africa.
I bet you want to know how you can start a small but mighty online business(what to do with your internet connection, website or blogs), which will grow fast and dominate in the entertainment, fashion, media, publishing, manufacturing, wholesale /retail and advertising industry. So you want to join the “baby global business bubble”- a rebirth of the dotcom bubble of the late 90s? –well then, be ready to go straight to ridiculous success according to Pierre Omidya, founder of ebay.
Feel free to email or call me (ps:day time only) and in exchange for a bottle of GOOD wine (no beer pls. HEHE.) I’ll send you great resources where you’d find all you need to get started as an e-micropreneur, NEW WINE, NEW BOTTLE! Cheers

Forex Mentoring
Forex mentoring involves having a trading mentor at your disposal to provide practical training and coaching. Trading mentoring is important in the development of a successful trader. A forex mentor is just like an athletic coach that continues to train an athlete to perform a specific routine or movement until perfection. Even though the routine might not be all that complicated, without having a coach looking over the athlete's back, watching his every move, will likely result in the athlete failing to perform the instructions correctly. Forex traders are not any different - without forex mentoring, a trader will rely on his own emotions and interpretation of the trading strategy to be performed and fail in the execution. It happens over and over in trading.

Please note that forex transactions are not appropriate for all persons.

Also note that Nigeria is becoming a growing force in the forex trading industry. If you look on Google Trends, you can see the search volume of terms like "forex" and "forex trading" growing sharply. Nigeria is actually the leading country in Google Trends on these terms, particularly for "forex trading". You should be a part of this growing trend!

Forex Mentors can provide mentoring to both new and experienced traders alike. Through our proprietary trading program, traders who are selected can receive our guidance and ongoing forex mentoring as well. For more information on this prop trading program call 08059298355/08056166490 or send email to waymakerz@yahoo.co.uk. Training is provided live over the Internet. If you have any questions about forex mentoring, please fill out the appropriate form by clicking the link below.

@touche,

If you can heed Seun's advice, it will do you a whole lot of good.

But first, GET EDUCATED! it is very important. I am willing to help in this regard.
That is if you are willing to learn.

I worked with Dr. Sunny Obazu-Ojeagbase, Chairman/Publisher of Complete Sports and Success Digest, to set up a club to help Nigerians run a successful business online and I purposely set up an Electronic course to teach people the basics of running a business online.
This is because I know a lot of people will want to run an online business but do not know
how to go about it.

If you REALLY want to learn, you can subscribe to this Ecourse which will run for a month
and it is free for anyone who widh to subscribe. All you have to do is to send a message
to the email address below:

[center]amcecourse@aweber.com[/center]

Please this is an autoresponder, so you will have to confirm your subscription. Also
no spam messages coz no one will be reading it

So many people are being liberated by this Ecourse and you won't be an exception. I
would have loved to put some testimonials here, but this is no sales material

When you subscribe, we can get talking later on the ideas you will be able to generate
afterwards.

NIGERIA IS BECOMING GREAT ONCE MORE. YOU AND I HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY!

@All
this is not a hyip thread, the poster is clear about what he needs.
and he has already invested in a 24hr internet connection, i believe all he has left to invest is online time. So stop being selfish by posting hyip refferal links.
Thanks.

With 24-7 Internet connection, Men I must tell you that you have the whole word in your hands and it now depends on you and how u can manipulate the internet its all your decision.
As you know that in Nigeria today and also across the world FOREX is the the main thing on the block then you can start to trade forex and make money you have all the time to monitor and since you are not schooling nor working then there should be nothing stoping you from making at least 180pips daily well it all boils down to how good you are.
A well trained fored trade will make good money while a badly trained one will loose money badly.
I have a free forex manual here for you in you dont mind it and I tell you its so good that you can not but thank me for having it from me.
You can mail me on hedgesfun@gmail.com if you want to have it for yourself all for free.
If you are not interested in forex, then you can try ecurrency business you can contact me also for that hoever there are still some other ones you can mail me for all you care and I will be willinng to assist inmy own little effort.

Hello dear,

There are so many businesses you can do online, you can visit www.workathome-ng.com if you need ideas

Hi,

It is very unfortunate that most of the suggestions people have made so far are mostly about MLM, forex, money doubling or hyip scams. That is actually what is destroying our society.  I believe you should be looking for a reasonable and LEGITIMATE online business.

The best I can think of is to start your own website or blog. You can then make money through Google Adsense program by placing Google Ads on your site. You can also sell your own goods or services by the same means.

Starting your own site is not difficult, but it will take some time. The money will not make you rich overnight, but if you continue to put great content on your site, you will have more visitors and then more money over time.  Also, you do not need to be an IT person to actually have your own site. Many hosting companies have templates in their package.

You can check my site www.lekkilinks.com for a sample.

You can contact me through the Contact form on my site if you need more specific info.

Hope you find this useful.

Ciao.
