My opinion

Any business you wanna take make sure you go for shadowing or what people call aprrentiship. There you'll learn the do's and don't of that business, you'll also know how best the business survive, your market size, target population, what time of the year the business thrive more.


I know you'll learn many things when you do this
All the best

Thanks. but I need something that has the potential for growth in years to come(Career). I don't think I will be happy producing nylon in 10 years from now
You got me laughing with this, are you looking at what you will be happy producing or what will felt you money. What if you produce your bathing soap and it doesn't move in the market as you expect and some one is producing nylon and is cashing in money every day as an entrepreneur which is better. Bros use you tongue count your teeth grin

Tissue paper is the cheapest to produce and the most profitable and easy to market.

Just water, pulp and mix!

Use Google and YouTube to search for how to produce tissue paper, don't rule it out. I once tried it when I was on sec school, have forgotten the whole process. But with internet, YouTube and google nowadays, u can find a way out easily.

Wish you the best, I love reading things like this.

Tell me about tissue production.i'm interested.

Keep your capital in fixed deposit of 6 months, join the manufacturing company you want to learn and work there for free. Learn all you can, jump from role to role, befriend the manager and learn everything practically before starting out on your own. Do a little online research about young people into tissue production. From what I know about tissue production, you buy larger rolls then cut and package for market.

Goodluck.
Best decision

hello everyone. Please I need help on how to start a career in production.

I'm considering learning how to produce either Tissue paper or bathing soap but both considerations are subjective to change if I can get a better suggestion from someone with experience who is willing to assist me with proper knowledge of how the business works in terms of startup capital, day-to-day management and profitability because I just graduated uni and my available capital is limited.

At the moment, I have zero production experience in any of the two fields but I can learn very fast and I'm confident I can succeed in the production if I'm able to get a proper knowledge from someone with experience.

If you're into tissue paper production or the production of bathing soap, please help me with the knowledge of how to produce, in order for me to be able to produce something that is capable of being marketed as a brand.

How naïve you are in foresight. Polyethylene making can extend into large converting facilities that does complex packaging of cartons, roll films for multinational companies.. You should consider yourself lucky if you can raise several millions of dollars in the next few years to start one..

You think nylon making is about the famed black and white poly bags you see everyday....? think about those 2 to 3 layers biscuit packs, bread and soap wraps and even cartons for large companies.. Think about the opportunity you have in printing roll films for all the pure water factories in your local government..?... stretch your mind my friend...

My mom used to make soap when w were kids and combined it with her day job in a FG agency. She sold to her colleagues and people around. Very good soap, better than some of the stuffs we have around today.

Guess what killed the business? Debts.
She sold to people around and they refused to pay, capitalising on the familiarity to do nonsense.

Thanks. I will try to always remember this story.

Where did I say it is easy, you think becoming an entrepreneur is child's play. If you're not even determined, soon you will find yourself looking for job after spending your capital and your family may even contribute to ending your career in entrepreneurship by helping you get a job. To be an entrepreneur, you must be ready to go out and do what every other person is not doing.

You said you do not have capital, neither do you have experience, nobody will give you money to start. If you are able to create a comprehensive financial statement to guide you and raise enough capital to bootstrap then you can learn on the job since you're not willing to learn from others.

I wrote the last paragraph after posting the first 2, you are not an entrepreneur. Go and get a job!

I understand what you're saying but I'm not in anyway insinuating that I need an easy way out. What I mean by "not being easy" is that according to your suggestion, the time, energy and resources that I will have to expend on finding the right company, getting a job from that company and then changing job positions within that company in order to learn the business will not be as easy as it would have been if I could have found someone to help me with the appropriate knowledge I would need in order to kick-start the business on my own.

Okay. Guess I will have to start doing more research into the business. Initially, I was thinking nylon production refers to production of those mini transparent and black cellophane/nylon and then supplying to market women with a wheelbarrow.

Lol, you want your competition to teach you. They are not information marketers who teach people businesses they lie to be involved in. Well, do whatever you think is best for you and you can manage.
