Hey! Aside from Web Design and Hosting; what other online businesses can one be involved in from Nigeria?

Solve the payment gateway problem. Easy payment for goods and service via web.

Join affiliates / associates and get google ads on your site. you can make online auctioning as well but that's going to involve shippin and might not be easy.

Yeah, affiliates/associates programs is a great way to go. Also you could write your own e-books and sell (no shipping involved), or buy stuff with resell rights and sell them for 100% profit.
Actually, there are loads of things you can do on the net, the potential is limitless. You don't have to go the way others are going.

Thanks for the replies...

However, take into considerations that we are talking about Naija here and also it would be appreciated if you actually break down these investment ideas for better understanding i.e actually how to go about the ideas.....

So far I think the payment gateway is the most feasible here in Nigeria.

There's online publishing supported by advertising: you start a popular website and then you put ads. With an enormous amount of traffic, you'll make money. That's probably about all you can do now since Nigerians can't yet buy or sell online.

let me give you one secrete, most people giving you information would not break it down, they are just giving you clue and tips, you're the one that need to make online research about the tips they give you.

You can start a forum as well and advertise on it, good business innt?

Spot on! You need to do your own bit of research on all the clues you recieve or the ones you think you can work on.

You can get a free forum at www.invisionfree.com if you don't like the idea of paying for one. Free things do come with a price though.

You could also apply to be the new administrator of a forum that's already running.

The problem is not the business to start but getting other Nigerians to patronize and supporting the business. I came upon this post as I was about to post my own question. How can every year all the Nigerian domains I see on line disappear? I think it is because we don't support them. We all want to shop at ebay, amazon, use paypal and egold yet, we can start our own local auctions to sell locally, there are excellent opportunities to sell just about everything; and who said there is no online payment? There is neticash and naira2u.com. So let's stop making excuses, just last year Naira2u offered to help anyone with an e-commerce idea put the idea on the web, free of charge. Did anyone take it on? Naira2u sent further emails to people begging them to participate to give e-commerce a chance. In the end maybe there were 20 proposals, a big shame for a country of over 140 million.

well its all about trust when there are so many people trying to defraud u, how can u patronise something with a bad reputation to go through the hassle of getting a refund or even a simple email from their customer service ..even if paypal don't refund all your money u'll get to talk to their customer service and more-over they've got a good reputation better than any new idea...

Trust is built over a long period of time not one year ,some people what to know how long u have been operating and rely on feedbacks n patronage so when they pack up after 1 year because theyve not made substantial profits thats just shows lack of planning n reasearch probably thinkin of huge profits alone, typical naija style!

_{u care when its your money,that went missing}

Pendelite, yu made a very gud point.Our prblm is dat we dont value our own innovation and derez no country dat will grow in such situation.lez support gud ideas and look inward to build a nation.

Rasque,

Read the reply I sent to yemupz on "Seeking to make a living online".

Also check your email address for a mail I have written to you on this matter.

To start an online business, you need to be guided on what is on and what isn't.

Some online businesses that do well in the US do not here in Nigeria because of some of our peculiarities.

So read the email or the posted reply

I agree with loverbwoy. it's all about trust I think people who are willing to go into this kind of businesses providing service to the public should take time out and do more reasearch. They should poor the dreams of making loads of money aside before they even start the business at all.
