The smartest way to make money in Nigeria is to start a
recession-proof business. That is, a business whose products or
services are everyday
necessities and are always in
huge demand; regardless of the
state of the economy. One of
such businesses is recharge card printing and selling. There are about 80 million active
mobile phones lines in Nigeria—
that’s about half of the country’s
population. And the average
phone user buys recharge cards
every week. This, coupled with the fact that communication over
the phone is now an everyday
need, explains why printing and
selling recharge cards is a very
profitable business. If you are looking to start your
own small business and are
completely at sea as to which
option to go for, then you should
consider starting a recharge card
printing and selling business. The required startup capital is
minimal, you don’t need any
formal qualifications to get
started, and you can start making
profits as in a matter of days to
weeks.

WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS 4
GETTING STARTED?
There are three ways to break
into the business of recharge
card printing and selling—as a
dealer, as a sub-dealer, or as a
small-scale printing business. What do these options mean? Being a dealer means setting up
a dealership or agency
arrangement with the service
providers. As a dealer, you will
be issued card product licenses
by the service providers and maintain direct correspondence
with them.

A sub-dealer is not licensed by service providers and does not have direct correspondence with them. Sub-dealers depend on licensed dealers for generation of recharge card PINs, but they print and distribute recharge cards in huge volumes—hundreds of thousands to millions. To start out as a sub-dealer you will need around N100,000. Small-scale recharge card printing entails buying already generated PINs from dealers or sub-dealers, printing them out, and selling them either to recharge card sellers or directly to consumers. There are two ways to print recharge cards on a small-scale level: you can either print them out over the internet or use a voucher printing machine belonging to a franchise company.

WHAT ARE THE STEPS INVOLVE IN PRINTING RECHARGE CARD? For small-scale recharge card printing, the process is quite straightforward and there’s nothing complex about it. Here are the steps involved: Connect your PC to the Internet (if you don’t have a PC, you can use a cybercafé—but having your own PC is highly recommended). Register with a company that has been licensed to generate recharge card PINs. Download the company’s custom card printing software package, and install it on your PC. Order for recharge card PINs through the company’s website and pay the required amount for the number of PINs you ordered. After making your payment, notify the company by sending the transaction details to them via text or email (you can also call them for quicker response). You will be sent encrypted PINs that can be read and interpreted only by the company’s custom software. Use the software on your computer to print out the PINs.

Recharge cards are fast-selling commodities, so you will hardly go wrong with this business. If you are armed with the relevant information and aggressive marketing skills, you can become a millionaire by printing and selling recharge cards.

Story! Guy we are in an era of technologically advancements, hence nobody prints recharge again except a few. The world is going into virtual transfer of airtime. The banks have also incorporated recharge via VTU from their bank accounts. Don't waste ur money printing up and down. Electronic transfer has taken over.
