@Yamakuza,
Criticism is not what we need here.
We need SUCCESS stories, that'll encourage the newbies in the biz...

As for me here @ Green Mouse Technologies, all i will say is that the web business is lucrative only if you are talented/creative.

I made Green Mouse Tech stand out today bc of my web design skills. I will not say how much i make monthly here but i know am better than many bankers.

I have achieved alot in a very short time, Thanks to God Almighty.

Web business is a lucrative business if you can only focus and do lot of advertising.

Apart from this,@ yemlat technologies,we also train people on how to go about reseller

web hosting so that they can also have another stream of income.It is simply a good business

for whoever has a good marketing skills.

It is not easy and don't anyone tell you otherwise. I have 2 blogs and my major source of income from them is Adsense. One makes double digit figure for me daily while the other one, on which I spend most of my time gives less than €2.00 daily. It's about Identifying the right niche and some other factors.

This article might be helpful for someone that wants to start a blog:

If you really know webdesigning with php and java, nothing stops you from making over 50m per year. All you have to do is think outside the box

It's all about how well you package your self/company. (Do the following and you will make at least a million naira (sales) in your first year. (if you are good as you think.) PS: some Tech personnel sucks at marketing. So you can form a partnership with a non tech person

1. You MUST have a website where you showcase your recent works and the services you offer
2. You should register your company and open a company/corporate account with a bank.
3. You should use WE often instead of I, even if it's a one man business. Say stuff like our technical team will..., our sales rep will... , our Legal adviser will...,
4. Predesign some websites eg for churches, schools (SMS), Dating site, e-commerce etc.
Prepare a proposal and try to sell one of your products eg. SMS to a school., Dating site to some school guy, church site to a new generation church, etc
Also when trying to pitch a sale, go with a lady and yourself (or a guy if you are a lady) and dress corporate.
5. After few installations, use words like ' we just complete Example High School's website..., people tend to buy when they see their competition buying.
6. Do some cheap/free jobs at first to promote your brand.
7. ALWAYS deliver quality even if they are paying less
8. Innovate or Die (IT rule- currently killing yahoo, growing google,)
9. Use/Learn SMM social media marketing. You dont need google ads, you need SMM
10. to be contd. typing on phone aint easy.
