It's time to start your own business!

Entrepreneurship is about solving real problems that

people face in their lives. The more difficult the

problems you can solve, the greater the rewards you’ll get

from the market.


50 HOME BUSINESSES YOU CAN START FOR UNDER US$150.00


Do you want to be your own boss and work your own hours?

We have rounded up 50 businesses you can run from your own

home .

SMMEs (Small Medium and Micro Enterprises) contribute

around 40% of Nigeria gross domestic product, and employ

more than half of the private sector workforce. It is

estimated that as much as 80% of new jobs in world

economies are being created by SMMEs, making small

business a key player in the future growth of our country.

The idea of starting a home-based business is becoming

more of a trend in Nigeria. People want to be at home with

their families rather than waste precious time in traffic

and at the office. The idea of being your own boss, being

able to choose your own hours, being more flexible with

family and friends and having control of your own

financial life is becoming more and more inviting. With

the unreliability of future pension packages and

retirement annuities and the general uncertainty of our

future wealth, it is becoming more and more necessary to

start creating one's own nest eggs for the future.

Starting a business from home is a good way to save money

on overheads such as rent, utilities, insurance and more.

Having a business at home is tax deductible. Even first-

time entrepreneurs find it easier to start a business from

home, allowing to grow into a full-time venture. Start on

a part-time basis and develop the business into a full-

time homemade success.

You can be a pensioner, a teenager, a stay-at-home mom,

be disabled or just be a regular person with a passion to

achieve what you deserve.

We have outlined some of the basics of running a business

from your kitchen table, garage, attic and spare bedroom.

Use these basic tips to help you start your own business.

A. Do what you love
In choosing things, people tend to stick to what they

know and like, which also refers to starting your own

business. Find something you love and feel good about

doing, then figure out how to get paid for it. Liking what

you do and knowing how to do it properly will make for a

more prosperous business than if you don't, so make sure

you decide on the right business and choose something you

love and are familiar with. While nurturing this business

you will be spending plenty of time making it work.

B. Have the right attitude
Don't get caught up with the idea that you will earn

money quickly. Business success is created by hard work

and dedication. You will reap the rewards later, and they

will be worth the work and dedication. Remember this is

your business; nurture it like you would your children.

Patience and persistence are two key elements required.

C. Create a plan to generate business
Hand out flyers, send out bulk emails, and send out press

kits to local newspapers and corporate companies.

Investigate advertising and utilise the power of word-of-

mouth. Become active in local small business groups, get

out and sell yourself and have opening/introductory

specials, etc. These are some methods of how to become

known. Marketing and advertising is costly, but is a good

investment for the future of your business, although you

must plan properly before spending money on this.
Use your existing equipment - computer, printer, knitting

machine, sewing machine, etc.


1. Make and sell food products
Find your favourite recipe and sell it, such as biscuits,

vetkoek, koeksisters, muffins, cakes, jams, pickled

vegetables, etc. Sell them to Tuis Nywerheid shops, coffee

shops and even corporate offices. Start small with low

capital, charge to replace ingredients, and make profit to

build up reserves.

2. Computer Design services
If you already have a computer and a printer, design

labels and advertising pamphlets, type students' projects,

CVs, etc. With the correct programs you can design

letterheads and business cards.

3. Teach your craft
Are you good at a certain craft, and others keep telling

you they wish they could also learn to be as good as you?

Well, share this talent - start offering classes. You can

teach one-on-one or small classes. This can be from glass

painting, fabric painting, pottery, sketching, bead craft,

etc.

4. Music teacher
Do you already have piano and/or other musical

instruments? Teach from your own home, or visit students'

homes. Singing lessons are also in demand.

5. Sewing Entrepreneur
With your sewing machine and your creative talent, start

with sewing alterations. Design and make clothes for

people from normal wear to specialised evening wear to

fancy-dress costumes. With affordable, efficient,

professional work and creativity, your business will grow

quickly. Everyone needs alterations.

6. Photographer
If you are talented with photography and already have a

good camera you can hire yourself out to take wedding

pictures, 21st birthday parties, office functions. Once

your business starts to grow you can build a studio at

home and move into doing things like family portraits.
Take portrait photos of children at schools and crèches.

People love their pets almost as much as their children,

so how about taking portrait pictures of people's beloved

animals? Photograph people at local clubs, restaurants,

pubs, etc and charge. Don't forget to get permission from

establishments first.

7. Handyman/ Carpenter
You already have the basic tools and some know-how? It's

easy to market yourself to neighbours and friends, and

thereafter word-of-mouth will bring you further custom.

Clients usually pay for material upfront. Start off with

small jobs and as your confidence grows you can start

taking on larger projects. You will eventually specialise

in a particular area of business operation.

8. Mural painting
You are artistic and love to paint. Use this talent and

start painting murals. Start on neighbours' and friends'

walls. As your confidence grows and you develop an idea of

what to specialise in, go to crèches, family nurseries,

corporates for advertising commissions, restaurants,

schools, churches, etc.

9. Direct Selling
It is easy and there are so many products to sell

directly such as homewares (Tupperware), cosmetics (Avon,

Sh'Zen, Avroy Shlain, Annique), kids' products (Smile,

Acorn) and costume jewellery (Honey, etc). The start-up is

a fairly small investment, usually the acquisition of a

start-up kit from your local agent. Most companies supply

you with sufficient help and guidance, and thereafter it's

simply a matter of showing booklets to people wherever you

are, obtaining orders, having parties at your house, and

so on.

10. Party Entertainer
Utilise your love of children. Buy or get a costume made

for you, such as a clown outfit, magician suite, etc., and

entertain children at birthday parties, fundraisers or

children's events. Make balloon characters, juggle, clown

around and more. Rent yourself out to children's parties.

Make flyers and hand out to schools, churches, crèches,

etc.

11. Professional Organiser
This is best for articulate, neat people. Rent yourself

out to residential houses by organising and tidying up

garages, home offices, kitchens and other rooms. Become an

adviser on how to organise areas efficiently and clutter-

free. From this you can also branch out into organising

files, data, etc. Specialise in closet organising as well.

12. Portrait Sketching
If you are a fairly talented artist who is good at

portraits using various paint mediums, advertise yourself.

Sketch or paint portraits from your home. Family portraits

and children's portraits are popular.

13. Tutor

school learners and students. This can be done after

hours, giving you free time during the day or directly

after school.

14. Cartoonist

cute cartoon characters or drawing the teacher in a funny

way? Think about designing cartoon strips or characters

for magazines, newspapers, private leaflets, restaurant

walls etc.

15. Corporate Catering
Make sandwiches, muffins, soup, etc. and sell to

corporate offices during lunch and tea times. Get

permission from businesses first before going to their

offices. Branch out into making and selling assorted

platters on order. Ask for 50% deposit to cover food

costs.

16. Second-hand Clothing dealer
Advertise around your neighbourhood and through

acquaintances for quality secondhand clothes. Pay per

packetful, fix the clothes up, add a more modern and

customised touch and resell them at your local flea market

as second-hand clothing.

17. Doll clothing designer/ toymaker
Are you good at sewing? Do you have several useless

pieces of scrap material you don't know what to do with?

Buy pieces of material offcuts cheaply, because you do not

need large pieces of fabric to make dolls and Barbie

clothes, and make and sell them for a quarter of the price

retail shops ask, plus you can make a significant profit.

Parents are always looking for an affordable way to keep

their little girls happy.

18. Calligraphy service/ special invitation marketing
Calligraphy is still used for special invitations,

corporate events and on certificates. There are software

forms for personal computers, but the real thing is always

preferred and more special. If you think you can or are

good at calligraphy, hire yourself out and do it by hand

for clients. If you have a knack for special writings this

is very useful.

you know people who are pack rats? Find second-hand,

sought-after books in garage sales, second-hand shops;

flea markets, neighbours, auctions, family and friends,

etc. You can sell these books over the Internet or through

flyers. From the money you have made on existing books and

part of the profits, buy new stock to replenish your

stock.

20. Furniture Refurbishing
Are you good at revamping old furniture? Turn a boring

desk into a decoupage masterpiece, whitewash old dining-

room chairs to bring them back to life, repaint and revamp

an old chest of drawers, etc. Why must people buy brand

new expensive furniture when they have you to restore

their existing classic pieces? Ask for a deposit upfront

per project.

and vegetables for cooking? Everyone loves fresh herbs to

cook with. Try planting them in your home garden : basal,

rosemary, parsley, thyme etc. Sell to local fresh produce

markets or privately.

22. Management Consulting

This job entails intellectual challenge, prestige,

opportunities to learn, and high levels of job

satisfaction.

EducationRe: Ufot Ekong Solves 30-Year-Old Math Equation In Japan And Breaks Academic Record by airview: 10:01am On Jun 06, 2015
It's time to start your own business!

Entrepreneurship is about solving real problems that

people face in their lives. The more difficult the

problems you can solve, the greater the rewards you’ll get

from the market.


50 HOME BUSINESSES YOU CAN START FOR UNDER US$150.00


Do you want to be your own boss and work your own hours?

We have rounded up 50 businesses you can run from your own

home .

SMMEs (Small Medium and Micro Enterprises) contribute

around 40% of Nigeria gross domestic product, and employ

more than half of the private sector workforce. It is

estimated that as much as 80% of new jobs in world

economies are being created by SMMEs, making small

business a key player in the future growth of our country.

The idea of starting a home-based business is becoming

more of a trend in Nigeria. People want to be at home with

their families rather than waste precious time in traffic

and at the office. The idea of being your own boss, being

able to choose your own hours, being more flexible with

family and friends and having control of your own

financial life is becoming more and more inviting. With

the unreliability of future pension packages and

retirement annuities and the general uncertainty of our

future wealth, it is becoming more and more necessary to

start creating one's own nest eggs for the future.

Starting a business from home is a good way to save money

on overheads such as rent, utilities, insurance and more.

Having a business at home is tax deductible. Even first-

time entrepreneurs find it easier to start a business from

home, allowing to grow into a full-time venture. Start on

a part-time basis and develop the business into a full-

time homemade success.

You can be a pensioner, a teenager, a stay-at-home mom,

be disabled or just be a regular person with a passion to

achieve what you deserve.

We have outlined some of the basics of running a business

from your kitchen table, garage, attic and spare bedroom.

Use these basic tips to help you start your own business.

A. Do what you love
In choosing things, people tend to stick to what they

know and like, which also refers to starting your own

business. Find something you love and feel good about

doing, then figure out how to get paid for it. Liking what

you do and knowing how to do it properly will make for a

more prosperous business than if you don't, so make sure

you decide on the right business and choose something you

love and are familiar with. While nurturing this business

you will be spending plenty of time making it work.

B. Have the right attitude
Don't get caught up with the idea that you will earn

money quickly. Business success is created by hard work

and dedication. You will reap the rewards later, and they

will be worth the work and dedication. Remember this is

your business; nurture it like you would your children.

Patience and persistence are two key elements required.

C. Create a plan to generate business
Hand out flyers, send out bulk emails, and send out press

kits to local newspapers and corporate companies.

Investigate advertising and utilise the power of word-of-

mouth. Become active in local small business groups, get

out and sell yourself and have opening/introductory

specials, etc. These are some methods of how to become

known. Marketing and advertising is costly, but is a good

investment for the future of your business, although you

must plan properly before spending money on this.
Use your existing equipment - computer, printer, knitting

machine, sewing machine, etc.


1. Make and sell food products
Find your favourite recipe and sell it, such as biscuits,

vetkoek, koeksisters, muffins, cakes, jams, pickled

vegetables, etc. Sell them to Tuis Nywerheid shops, coffee

shops and even corporate offices. Start small with low

capital, charge to replace ingredients, and make profit to

build up reserves.

2. Computer Design services
If you already have a computer and a printer, design

labels and advertising pamphlets, type students' projects,

CVs, etc. With the correct programs you can design

letterheads and business cards.

3. Teach your craft
Are you good at a certain craft, and others keep telling

you they wish they could also learn to be as good as you?

Well, share this talent - start offering classes. You can

teach one-on-one or small classes. This can be from glass

painting, fabric painting, pottery, sketching, bead craft,

etc.

4. Music teacher
Do you already have piano and/or other musical

instruments? Teach from your own home, or visit students'

homes. Singing lessons are also in demand.

5. Sewing Entrepreneur
With your sewing machine and your creative talent, start

with sewing alterations. Design and make clothes for

people from normal wear to specialised evening wear to

fancy-dress costumes. With affordable, efficient,

professional work and creativity, your business will grow

quickly. Everyone needs alterations.

6. Photographer
If you are talented with photography and already have a

good camera you can hire yourself out to take wedding

pictures, 21st birthday parties, office functions. Once

your business starts to grow you can build a studio at

home and move into doing things like family portraits.
Take portrait photos of children at schools and crèches.

People love their pets almost as much as their children,

so how about taking portrait pictures of people's beloved

animals? Photograph people at local clubs, restaurants,

pubs, etc and charge. Don't forget to get permission from

establishments first.

7. Handyman/ Carpenter
You already have the basic tools and some know-how? It's

easy to market yourself to neighbours and friends, and

thereafter word-of-mouth will bring you further custom.

Clients usually pay for material upfront. Start off with

small jobs and as your confidence grows you can start

taking on larger projects. You will eventually specialise

in a particular area of business operation.

8. Mural painting
You are artistic and love to paint. Use this talent and

start painting murals. Start on neighbours' and friends'

walls. As your confidence grows and you develop an idea of

what to specialise in, go to crèches, family nurseries,

corporates for advertising commissions, restaurants,

schools, churches, etc.

9. Direct Selling
It is easy and there are so many products to sell

directly such as homewares (Tupperware), cosmetics (Avon,

Sh'Zen, Avroy Shlain, Annique), kids' products (Smile,

Acorn) and costume jewellery (Honey, etc). The start-up is

a fairly small investment, usually the acquisition of a

start-up kit from your local agent. Most companies supply

you with sufficient help and guidance, and thereafter it's

simply a matter of showing booklets to people wherever you

are, obtaining orders, having parties at your house, and

so on.

10. Party Entertainer
Utilise your love of children. Buy or get a costume made

for you, such as a clown outfit, magician suite, etc., and

entertain children at birthday parties, fundraisers or

children's events. Make balloon characters, juggle, clown

around and more. Rent yourself out to children's parties.

Make flyers and hand out to schools, churches, crèches,

etc.

11. Professional Organiser
This is best for articulate, neat people. Rent yourself

out to residential houses by organising and tidying up

garages, home offices, kitchens and other rooms. Become an

adviser on how to organise areas efficiently and clutter-

free. From this you can also branch out into organising

files, data, etc. Specialise in closet organising as well.

portraits using various paint mediums, advertise yourself.

Sketch or paint portraits from your home. Family portraits

and children's portraits are popular.

school learners and students. This can be done after

hours, giving you free time during the day or directly

after school.

cute cartoon characters or drawing the teacher in a funny

way? Think about designing cartoon strips or characters

corporate offices during lunch and tea times. Get

permission from businesses first before going to their

offices. Branch out into making and selling assorted

platters on order. Ask for 50% deposit to cover food

costs.

16. Second-hand Clothing dealer
Advertise around your neighbourhood and through

acquaintances for quality secondhand clothes. Pay per

packetful, fix the clothes up, add a more modern and

customised touch and resell them at your local flea market

as second-hand clothing.

17. Doll clothing designer/ toymaker
Are you good at sewing? Do you have several useless

pieces of scrap material you don't know what to do with?

Buy pieces of material offcuts cheaply, because you do not

need large pieces of fabric to make dolls and Barbie

clothes, and make and sell them for a quarter of the price

retail shops ask, plus you can make a significant profit.

Parents are always looking for an affordable way to keep

their little girls happy.

18. Calligraphy service/ special invitation marketing
Calligraphy is still used for special invitations,

corporate events and on certificates. There are software

forms for personal computers, but the real thing is always

preferred and more special. If you think you can or are

good at calligraphy, hire yourself out and do it by hand

for clients. If you have a knack for special writings this

is very useful.

19. Second hand book and magazines dealer
Do you love books, classic magazines and comics, and do

you know people who are pack rats? Find second-hand,

sought-after books in garage sales, second-hand shops;

flea markets, neighbours, auctions, family and friends,

etc. You can sell these books over the Internet or through

flyers. From the money you have made on existing books and

part of the profits, buy new stock to replenish your

stock.

20. Furniture Refurbishing
Are you good at revamping old furniture? Turn a boring

desk into a decoupage masterpiece, whitewash old dining-

room chairs to bring them back to life, repaint and revamp

an old chest of drawers, etc. Why must people buy brand

new expensive furniture when they have you to restore

their existing classic pieces? Ask for a deposit upfront

per project.

21. Growing Herbs

and vegetables for cooking? Everyone loves fresh herbs to

cook with. Try planting them in your home garden : basal,

rosemary, parsley, thyme etc. Sell to local fresh produce

markets or privately.

22. Management Consulting

particularly in a slow economy. More and more companies

need consultants to help increase revenues and cut costs.

This job entails intellectual challenge, prestige,

opportunities to learn, and high levels of job

satisfaction.

23. Nurse

classes, midwifery, lactation consultant, home healthcare,

nutrition supplements or vitamin sales. Insurance

It's time to start your own business!

Entrepreneurship is about solving real problems that

people face in their lives. The more difficult the

problems you can solve, the greater the rewards you’ll get

from the market.


50 HOME BUSINESSES YOU CAN START FOR UNDER US$150.00


Do you want to be your own boss and work your own hours?

We have rounded up 50 businesses you can run from your own

home .

SMMEs (Small Medium and Micro Enterprises) contribute

around 40% of Nigeria gross domestic product, and employ

more than half of the private sector workforce. It is

estimated that as much as 80% of new jobs in world

economies are being created by SMMEs, making small

business a key player in the future growth of our country.

The idea of starting a home-based business is becoming

more of a trend in Nigeria. People want to be at home with

their families rather than waste precious time in traffic

and at the office. The idea of being your own boss, being

able to choose your own hours, being more flexible with

family and friends and having control of your own

financial life is becoming more and more inviting. With

the unreliability of future pension packages and

retirement annuities and the general uncertainty of our

future wealth, it is becoming more and more necessary to

start creating one's own nest eggs for the future.

Starting a business from home is a good way to save money

on overheads such as rent, utilities, insurance and more.

Having a business at home is tax deductible. Even first-

time entrepreneurs find it easier to start a business from

home, allowing to grow into a full-time venture. Start on

a part-time basis and develop the business into a full-

time homemade success.

You can be a pensioner, a teenager, a stay-at-home mom,

be disabled or just be a regular person with a passion to

achieve what you deserve.

We have outlined some of the basics of running a business

from your kitchen table, garage, attic and spare bedroom.

Use these basic tips to help you start your own business.

A. Do what you love
In choosing things, people tend to stick to what they

know and like, which also refers to starting your own

business. Find something you love and feel good about

doing, then figure out how to get paid for it. Liking what

you do and knowing how to do it properly will make for a

more prosperous business than if you don't, so make sure

you decide on the right business and choose something you

love and are familiar with. While nurturing this business

you will be spending plenty of time making it work.

B. Have the right attitude
Don't get caught up with the idea that you will earn

money quickly. Business success is created by hard work

and dedication. You will reap the rewards later, and they

will be worth the work and dedication. Remember this is

your business; nurture it like you would your children.

Patience and persistence are two key elements required.

C. Create a plan to generate business
Hand out flyers, send out bulk emails, and send out press

kits to local newspapers and corporate companies.

Investigate advertising and utilise the power of word-of-

mouth. Become active in local small business groups, get

out and sell yourself and have opening/introductory

specials, etc. These are some methods of how to become

known. Marketing and advertising is costly, but is a good

investment for the future of your business, although you

must plan properly before spending money on this.
Use your existing equipment - computer, printer, knitting

machine, sewing machine, etc.


1. Make and sell food products
Find your favourite recipe and sell it, such as biscuits,

vetkoek, koeksisters, muffins, cakes, jams, pickled

vegetables, etc. Sell them to Tuis Nywerheid shops, coffee

shops and even corporate offices. Start small with low

capital, charge to replace ingredients, and make profit to

build up reserves.

2. Computer Design services
If you already have a computer and a printer, design

labels and advertising pamphlets, type students' projects,

CVs, etc. With the correct programs you can design

letterheads and business cards.

3. Teach your craft
Are you good at a certain craft, and others keep telling

you they wish they could also learn to be as good as you?

Well, share this talent - start offering classes. You can

teach one-on-one or small classes. This can be from glass

painting, fabric painting, pottery, sketching, bead craft,

etc.

4. Music teacher
Do you already have piano and/or other musical

instruments? Teach from your own home, or visit students'

homes. Singing lessons are also in demand.

5. Sewing Entrepreneur
With your sewing machine and your creative talent, start

with sewing alterations. Design and make clothes for

people from normal wear to specialised evening wear to

fancy-dress costumes. With affordable, efficient,

professional work and creativity, your business will grow

quickly. Everyone needs alterations.

6. Photographer
If you are talented with photography and already have a

good camera you can hire yourself out to take wedding

pictures, 21st birthday parties, office functions. Once

your business starts to grow you can build a studio at

home and move into doing things like family portraits.
Take portrait photos of children at schools and crèches.

People love their pets almost as much as their children,

so how about taking portrait pictures of people's beloved

animals? Photograph people at local clubs, restaurants,

pubs, etc and charge. Don't forget to get permission from

establishments first.

7. Handyman/ Carpenter
You already have the basic tools and some know-how? It's

easy to market yourself to neighbours and friends, and

thereafter word-of-mouth will bring you further custom.

Clients usually pay for material upfront. Start off with

small jobs and as your confidence grows you can start

taking on larger projects. You will eventually specialise

in a particular area of business operation.

8. Mural painting
You are artistic and love to paint. Use this talent and

start painting murals. Start on neighbours' and friends'

walls. As your confidence grows and you develop an idea of

what to specialise in, go to crèches, family nurseries,

corporates for advertising commissions, restaurants,

schools, churches, etc.

9. Direct Selling
It is easy and there are so many products to sell

directly such as homewares (Tupperware), cosmetics (Avon,

Sh'Zen, Avroy Shlain, Annique), kids' products (Smile,

Acorn) and costume jewellery (Honey, etc). The start-up is

a fairly small investment, usually the acquisition of a

start-up kit from your local agent. Most companies supply

you with sufficient help and guidance, and thereafter it's

simply a matter of showing booklets to people wherever you

are, obtaining orders, having parties at your house, and

so on.

10. Party Entertainer
Utilise your love of children. Buy or get a costume made

for you, such as a clown outfit, magician suite, etc., and

entertain children at birthday parties, fundraisers or

children's events. Make balloon characters, juggle, clown

around and more. Rent yourself out to children's parties.

Make flyers and hand out to schools, churches, crèches,

etc.

11. Professional Organiser
This is best for articulate, neat people. Rent yourself

out to residential houses by organising and tidying up

garages, home offices, kitchens and other rooms. Become an

adviser on how to organise areas efficiently and clutter-

free. From this you can also branch out into organising

files, data, etc. Specialise in closet organising as well.

12. Portrait Sketching
If you are a fairly talented artist who is good at

portraits using various paint mediums, advertise yourself.

Sketch or paint portraits from your home. Family portraits

and children's portraits are popular.

13. Tutor
Offer to teach extra maths and other subjects to high

school learners and students. This can be done after

hours, giving you free time during the day or directly

after school.

14. Cartoonist
Have you gotten into trouble several times for doodling

cute cartoon characters or drawing the teacher in a funny

way? Think about designing cartoon strips or characters

for magazines, newspapers, private leaflets, restaurant

walls etc.

15. Corporate Catering
Make sandwiches, muffins, soup, etc. and sell to

corporate offices during lunch and tea times. Get

permission from businesses first before going to their

offices. Branch out into making and selling assorted

platters on order. Ask for 50% deposit to cover food

costs.

16. Second-hand Clothing dealer
Advertise around your neighbourhood and through

acquaintances for quality secondhand clothes. Pay per

packetful, fix the clothes up, add a more modern and

customised touch and resell them at your local flea market

as second-hand clothing.

17. Doll clothing designer/ toymaker
Are you good at sewing? Do you have several useless

pieces of scrap material you don't know what to do with?

Buy pieces of material offcuts cheaply, because you do not

need large pieces of fabric to make dolls and Barbie

clothes, and make and sell them for a quarter of the price

retail shops ask, plus you can make a significant profit.

Parents are always looking for an affordable way to keep

their little girls happy.

18. Calligraphy service/ special invitation marketing
Calligraphy is still used for special invitations,

corporate events and on certificates. There are software

forms for personal computers, but the real thing is always

preferred and more special. If you think you can or are

good at calligraphy, hire yourself out and do it by hand

for clients. If you have a knack for special writings this

is very useful.

19. Second hand book and magazines dealer
Do you love books, classic magazines and comics, and do

you know people who are pack rats? Find second-hand,

sought-after books in garage sales, second-hand shops;

flea markets, neighbours, auctions, family and friends,

etc. You can sell these books over the Internet or through

flyers. From the money you have made on existing books and

part of the profits, buy new stock to replenish your

stock.

20. Furniture Refurbishing
Are you good at revamping old furniture? Turn a boring

desk into a decoupage masterpiece, whitewash old dining-

room chairs to bring them back to life, repaint and revamp

an old chest of drawers, etc. Why must people buy brand

new expensive furniture when they have you to restore

their existing classic pieces? Ask for a deposit upfront

per project.

21. Growing Herbs
Do you have green fingers? Are you good at planting herbs

and vegetables for cooking? Everyone loves fresh herbs to

cook with. Try planting them in your home garden : basal,

rosemary, parsley, thyme etc. Sell to local fresh produce

markets or privately.

22. Management Consulting
This is one of the positions which always endures,

particularly in a slow economy. More and more companies

need consultants to help increase revenues and cut costs.

This job entails intellectual challenge, prestige,

opportunities to learn, and high levels of job

satisfaction.

23. Nurse
Personalised weight-loss consulting, teaching childbirth

classes, midwifery, lactation consultant, home healthcare,

nutrition supplements or vitamin sales. Insurance

companies and medical aids also require these skills for

the review of cases and claims assessments.

pieces of scrap material you don't know what to do with?

retail shops ask, plus you can make a significant profit.

Parents are always looking for an affordable way to keep

their little girls happy.

18. Calligraphy service/ special invitation marketing
Calligraphy is still used for special invitations,

corporate events and on certificates. There are software

20. Furniture Refurbishing
Are you good at revamping old furniture? Turn a boring

desk into a decoupage masterpiece, whitewash old dining-

�️�️�Most Essential Marketing Concepts You Need to Be Successful in 2022 !��
By Stephen Ayinde.
Airview Business School.
Founder & CEO

push.com.ng we'll provide superior value of your money,drive business growth with a winning multichannel marketing strategy to give your business the best chance of success ,you need to invest in marketing skills* �➡️

*Marketing tactics vs marketing strategies* �️�️�️�️�️�️�️�️�️
Marketing is the “process that drives revenue growth.
”1 To ensure revenue growth there are three factors that you can influence:2 .Increase your customers.
Optimise your pricing.
Increase how many times your customers buy from you.
The difference between marketing strategy and marketing tactics is best explained by Ben Breen, on philosopher Sun Tzu, “Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.”3 Digital marketing campaigns work by strategically selecting the right digital tools and tactics to reach and engage your audience. This knock-on effect reflects along the whole chain from consumer behaviour to marketing, sales, and customer support.

*Understanding the importance of multimarket channels* �️�️�️�️�️�️�
Multi-market channels use a number of different digital elements, and understanding how these channels work together can help you successfully reach your marketing goals. Integration is the key to achieving a successful digital strategy. Most successful modern businesses use a range of different platforms to connect and engage with their consumers online.
�️�️�️�️�️
Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory.�️�️�️�️�
Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.

*Benefits of an integrated digital marketing strategy:*


Drives return on investment through an increase in sales
Improved and increased brand visibility
Increases efficiency and cost-effectiveness
Frequent and interactive engagement with an audience builds trust



*Market Segmentation* ��������

In marketing, segmenting, targeting and positioning (STP) is a broad framework that summarizes and simplifies the process of market segmentation. ...
�Targeting is the process of identifying the most attractive segments from the segmentation stage, usually the ones most profitable for the business.
� *Content marketing*
This involves generating a database of content, whereby link building to and from videos, blogs, and infographics increases viewership and access to this content.6 The trick with content creation is that creating valuable content is hard. Consumers won’t share your posts or use your content as an authoritative source unless it resonates with them.

� *Buyer personas* are semi-fictional representations of your ideal customers based on data and research. They help you focus your time on qualified prospects, guide product development to suit the needs of your target customers, and align all work across your organization (from marketing to sales to service).

�As a result, you'll be able to attract high-value visitors, leads, and customers to your business who you'll be more likely to retain over time.

�More specifically, having a deep understanding of your buyer persona(s) is critical to driving content creation, product development, sales follow up, and really anything that relates to customer acquisition and retention.
�️�️�️��

*What is Location-Based Marketing?*
���
Location-based marketing allows organizations to target consumers at a granular, person level with online or offline messaging based on their physical location. Using location data, marketing teams are able to reach consumers based on qualifiers like proximity to a store, events happening in their region, and more.

�Location-based marketing has proven effective across customer lifecycles – from discovery and purchase, to engagement and retention. When used properly, location-based marketing allows marketers to hone in on specific customer segments with targeted offers, while improving customer experience for a population that increasingly values instant gratification. For example, location-based marketing may alert a prospect that a product they have been considering is stocked in a nearby store, allowing them to pick it up right away.


�Type of Location Based Marketing .

� *Geo targeting* is used to determine the location of a user, to then serve them personalized messaging based on their location. If a consumer has opted in to let an app access their location, they may get messages in the app or push notifications based on region or proximity to a store.

� *Geo fencing*
Geo fencing is the creation of a boundary within a specific region. When target audiences enter that boundary, they will become an active target of the marketing strategy. This might mean they receive content, offers, or some other form of messaging from the brand. An example of a boundary is an area that encompasses a popular shopping center at which the company has a store.



� *Mobile Targeting*
Mobile targeting occurs when marketers target consumers with ads on their mobile devices. Because consumers typically want to avoid advertising, marketers aim to make their ads context specific, which can be based on time, device, or location.

� *Geo-Conquesting*
Geo-conquesting uses location data to divert prospects away from competitor locations. For example, car dealerships might create a boundary around a competitor’s lot. When a target consumer comes within that boundary, they will be sent an offer to users that encourages them to visit the other dealer.

�️�️ *Reasons to Use Location-Based Marketing*
Location-based marketing can offer a host of benefits to both consumers and marketers.

�Marketers can deliver more targeted messaging that grows awareness and nurtures relationships with customers and prospects. The targeted-nature of these ads also often result in less wasted spend. Consumers, growing increasingly particular about which branded messaging they interact with, get personalized offers at convenient times, thus improving their overall experience.

�1.Increase Immediate Foot Traffic
�2.Deliver more relevant ads
�3.Drive consumers away from the competition
�4.Create a Better User Experience


�� *Facebook/Instagram paid ads*
Facebook ads are paid messages from businesses that are written in their voice and help reach the people who matter most to them. When they create ads within that campaign, they'll choose images, text and an audience that they think will help them get that increase in visitors.

� *Email marketing* is the act of sending a commercial message, typically to a group of people, using email. In its broadest sense, every email sent to a potential or current customer could be considered email marketing. It involves using email to send advertisements, request business, or solicit sales or donations.


�What is *Geo-targeted* text message? This is a kind of SMS message sent to customers based on their location (location based SMS marketing) in a radius of 100 meters to 5 kilometres. This gives an opportunity to tailor SMS campaign via text message location to a client's real-time location

� *Search engine optimization* is the process of improving the quality and quantity of website traffic to a website or a web page from search engines. SEO targets unpaid traffic rather than direct traffic or paid traffic

�*WhatsApp Business marketing*
WhatsApp marketing is a type of messenger marketing, which implies promoting a brand through WhatsApp. This channel helps brands reach an enormous audience, build strong relationships with customers, and increase sales.
