Lol. Story story... That's just deceit. You will have to pay for two years which is equivalent to the normal price ($9-$12)

For the guy that asked for domain... Just buy a namecheap domain for $8.89 or there about. Meanwhile babaonpoint check my sig

bro its not correct. i have bought a single year 0,99 cent + ican fee 0.17 usd. thats 1.16usd. the total is around N500. 1and1.com is also another good option.

ikorodureporta:
Abeg how much to buy domain name and host website on .ng.com

bro it depends on the website you intend to get your domain from. i often use godaddy. if you are a new user their is always a 0.99 $ promo for .com domains.

Elijah4332:
Nice write up..
this will definitely help..

i am glad you found it interesting.

TechCapon:
I can't. As a blogger I receive hundreds of emails daily. So the mail you sent it already lost. It's like looking for a needle in the hay sack. If you don't want to send it no problem

bro i just checked and the email you dropped is not among my subscribers. their is no need for all this long story. a blogger should know that email searching is a basic functionality of modern emails not searching for emails in the hay sack. always feel free to contact me using the appropriate contact channels if you have any question.

TechCapon:
lost ur contact. Please resend it to me Capontech@gmail.com

bro please check the email i sent to you and the ebook.

What does it take to run an online business? Do you need to be able to write a great business plan, design amazing graphics or craft effective copy?

Depending on the exact nature of your business, there are a variety of skills that are good-to-haves. But not all are must-haves, and that’s worth taking a look at here. Because some skills are absolutely essential to your success in the online space. Especially when you are at the nascent stages and are unable to hire staff.

If you want to run an online business, you need to master the following five must-have skills.

1. Technical
Online business is where your technical abilities will be put to the test. Registering domains and buying a hosting plan is easy. Many hosts even let you install WordPress with a single click.

But things can get pretty complicated from there. What if you want to custom-design a template for your site? What if your WordPress site gets hacked, and you need to get it back up and running as fast as possible? What if you need to install a script or fix a column in your MySQL database? What if you need to code and develop a proprietary web application?

There are a lot of technical aspects to running a website that varies in terms of complexity. You can outsource and hire freelancers to do some of the work, but it’s best to know how things work, in case you encounter any major issues or emergencies. You do not even need to go too deep, just the basics.


2. SEO
For most websites, organic search is the number-one source of traffic. If you aren’t doing your keyword research, creating optimized content and constantly tweaking your website to improve its SEO, your business is not going to remain competitive in the online space.

Keyword research is really just a starting point. You’ll want to familiarize yourself with Page Authority and Domain Authority, responsive design, backlink building, clean code, load times and much more.

But your main area of focus should be ranking your content in search, since there are many technical aspects in the constantly shifting world of SEO, and keeping up with it all is a full-time job in and of itself. There’s no way to stay on top of it all when you’re running a business.

Again, strategically hiring freelancers or agencies might be a better way to keep your website optimized in the long run. Nevertheless, the knowledge you gain won’t go to waste, as you’ll also be able to verify the quality of the outsourced work should you choose to pay for SEO services.


3. Content creation
The ability to create quality, value-added and search-engine-optimized content is key to running a successful online business in today’s online environment. Content drives traffic, builds trust and attracts new leads and customers to your business.

This often means writing articles and blog posts, which can be a time-consuming process. Audio podcasts and videos are also quite effective but can be even more intensive in terms of the time, money and effort required.

With this in mind, don't underestimate the value of content, as it is likely to be the primary driver of traffic to your site. You’ll want to create and manage an editorial calendar, stick to a publishing schedule and create valuable content that answers the questions of your target audience.

Content builds credibility with visitors coming to your website, and consumers are more likely to trust businesses that provide valuable content. Don’t forget to put strategies in place to get visitors onto your email list.


4. Expertise in a given niche
Are you knowledgeable in the specific niche you’re planning on doing business in? If not, you may want to rethink your topic choice.
In order to build trust with your audience, you'll need to be able to demonstrate that you are knowledgeable and experienced in your industry.

This doesn’t mean that you need to know all of the ins and outs of your niche, as many entrepreneurs begin their journey with just enough of an understanding of their topic. But if they have risen quickly in their niche, that's because they invested in their growth and became voracious students of it.

Additionally, if you’re passionate about a project, you’re more likely to stick with it over the long haul. Business requires perseverance, and you are less likely to stay with the grind if it’s a project you don’t care about. Expertise in a given niche will help you build authority in your space.


5. Paid advertising
While content can drive a lot of organic traffic, paid traffic is also immensely valuable.
Most advertising platforms feature extensive targeting and filtering options that allow you to better reach your target customer. They also enable you to test the effectiveness of your landing pages and product or service offerings.

But it's important to keep in mind that advertising isn’t necessarily a set-and-forget solution. Crafting effective ads and refining your targeting can be a challenge unless you have prior experience. Conversion optimization becomes all the more important when you’re spending money to bring people to your website.

You also need to try Affiliate Marketing, get other platforms to talk about your business, advertise for you and even refer your business for them. You should focus on Authorities in the line of your products/services.

There’s a lot you can figure out by trial and error with advertising, but you will inevitably end up wasting some money in the process. If you aren’t confident with your paid advertising know-how or don’t have a big budget, you’ll want to either take the time to learn or hire an expert who can help you create effective campaigns.


Final thoughts
If you’re going to run an online business, you'll have to wear a lot of different hats. No matter what business you get into -- even if it’s a brick-and-mortar business -- multitasking will be unavoidable.

The key is to focus on the high-level tasks that will help you grow your business. You can begin to systematize and delegate tasks as you increase revenue and get to the point where you can hire. Some tasks can also be outsourced to freelancers.

But, this list helps you know what skills you'll need to run an online business, so now you can study and cultivate the knowledge necessary to be successful online.

Your are On Point... I can't wait Babaonpoint
Thanks for Your input

you are welcome bro.

You have been hearing so much about online businesses these days, everyone is writing about it and there is so much information about it on the internet that if you decide to google a couple, your brain will probably freeze from being overwhelmed by the amount of information. Do this, do not do this, so many contradicting opinions from self-proclaimed experts.

When trying to learn about a new online business, you should pick an online mentor that ranks well and well, is consistent.
What are the top online business ideas to start from home? What are the best small internet business opportunities? Do you want to learn what it takes to start a business on the internet with no money? Then, I advise you read on.

It is no longer news that the world is filled with business opportunities and startup business ideas but unfortunately; not everyone can see such opportunities. Bill Gates once said that: “if your business is not on the web, then your business will be out of business,” and i believe this statement is the truth in its entirety.

Now there are lots of business opportunities online, but the question is: which is the best for you. So in this article, I will be reviewing some successful internet business ideas and in the end; I will discuss the best online business ideas for beginners to start.

However, before I proceed, I want you to understand that this list of business ideas does not in any way replace the need for you to conduct a feasibility study on the ideas and write a business plan.


1. Affiliate marketing
The first venture you can start online is to own your own affiliate store. To become an affiliate marketer means that you are promoting other people’s products and services. Whenever there is a sale, you will get a commission and the most interesting fact here is that you don’t even need a dime of your own to start it and you get to partner with some of the biggest companies in the world.



2. Blogging
If you have a particular subject that interests you and you are passionate about it, then you can start a blog around such a topic. Blogging is one of the fastest growing business trends on the web and the sweetest thing is that it is an information-based business.

So no worries about technicalities, programming, etc. You also don’t need to invest a dime to get started as there are free platforms you can utilize like Blogger, TypePad, Joomla and WordPress.


3. Online Beading Store
If you love beading, and you have beading skills, you can launch an online business that will not only focus on selling the coolest beads on the web but also offer video tutorials on how to make beads (why has no one thought of this really?)


4. E-Book Publishing
If you love writing and you possess some marketing skills, then you can venture into information marketing. In this situation, your business will be to identify people’s problems and provide a solution in the form of an ebook.


5. Do-It-Yourself program
Just as the green revolution is on, the DIY (Do-It-Yourself) movement is also on. As the economy gets tighter, people are spending less and they are learning to do things themselves to save money. You can still take advantage of this situation and position yourself as a DIY expert and start publishing tutorials on how to fix things, install gadgets and make repairs. You can even write a blog for this.


6. Advertising Network (Ad Network)
You can also start a company online that connect advertisers to websites who want to host advertisements. The key responsibility of an Ad Network is the aggregation of Ad space supply from publishers and matching it with advertisers demand.


8. Website flipping business
You can start buying and selling websites for a profit. To understand this business model, just consider yourself a real estate entrepreneur; who buy houses at a low price, renovates the house and resells at a higher price for a profit. You can begin by checking out websites that are listed on Flippa.com to understand how this business works.


9. You Can Make Money Taking Surveys Online


10. Set up an e-commerce store online
Yes, you can set up an e-commerce or retail store online and you can start this online business from home without even owning a single product. You can sell virtually anything ranging from books, clothes and electronics to household item through wholesale drop shipping or by setting up an affiliate store with Amazon or eBay.



11. Start Trading Forex Online


12. Research and sell information online
Yes, you can research on people’s problems and needs; then all you have to do is to come up with a solution, package it in an eBook, video or audio format and you are in business. In fact, the overhead startup cost for this business is so low that anybody can do it. To have an idea on hottest selling information products, I will recommend you visit Clickbank.com

We will be continuing the remaining 18 business opportunities to make you money this 2019 tomorrow. Hope you stick around for that.

Please I just joined nairaland this week and I have been trying to post but getting a message saying that I can't post that I should try sometime next week... Please what's the process of posting on nairaland?

bro new accounts need at least a week before they can make a post. for the mean time you can make comments.

In Nigeria, up to 70 percent of people who call themselves ‘entrepreneurs’ do not own a registered business, the numbers are even scarier for online businesses.
How can anyone say they own a business when it doesn’t really and legally exist?
For some of these people, it’s just plain ignorance; they don’t know or understand the importance of getting a business registered. The others, who aren’t totally ignorant, just choose to avoid the upfront cost of registration when they start their business, you really should not be like that.

If you have been running an online business you should know it is really different from being a freelancer or dabbling in affiliate marketing. An online business has more depth and you will most likely need more people ton to help you in the future. You really ought to get your online business registered soon. However, if you plan to start a business soon, the reasons in this article will prevent you from missing out on the benefits of a legally registered business.

I can hear some people saying things like:
"Oh but it is an online business, I do not need to register it".

You are more susceptible to copyright theft and even brand theft when your business is out there without any legal backing or protection.


What Is A Registered Business?
The best way to describe a registered business is to tell you a short story.
Tobi is an entrepreneur who makes very beautiful clothes for men and women with the best quality cloths. This has been his line of work for seven years now and thousands of people love his clothes.

In fact, his clothes have become so popular that people commonly refer to it as ‘Tobi clothes’ (a brand). People actually go to the market and ask for ‘Tobi clothes’ or shop online. Most of his customers are so loyal that they order or come to buy from a long distance (local or foreign) to get his clothes.

Just last year, one smart entrepreneur (let’s call him Kelvin) got a bright idea and decided to register a company and named it “Tobi Clothes Company”.
It cost him time, effort and money but Kelvin went through the hassle to register his new company. Guess what? His new company makes clothes too. These clothes are also of high quality but they’re not as good as the popular Tobi Clothes.

But the interesting thing is, Kelvin’s company’s clothes labelled ‘Tobi Clothes’.
As you may have guessed, Tobi finds out that Kelvin’s company is selling its clothes with a ‘Tobi Clothes’ label. What can he do?

If he does nothing, these new clothes that carry his name will confuse his customers and he could lose sales. So he decides to sue Kelvin’s company “Tobi Clothes Company”.
Who do you think will triumph when this matter goes to court?

The facts of this case are quite simple:
One person (Kelvin) owns and runs a business that is legally registered and recognized by law. The other person (Tobi), although running a very successful but unregistered business, has become a victim of his own mistake. He owns and has been operating a business that doesn’t legally exist and in the war of law, he will have lost the brand name "Tobi Clothes" and will be revoked from using it.

This is a sad example of the kind of unfortunate things that could happen when a business is not properly set up and registered.

It is often tempting to postpone or think that business registration can wait or is not really important.
The truth is, you may be building something that could become very big and popular in the future. However, if you don’t do something as basic as registering your business, all your hard work could easily be wasted, or worse, taken over by somebody else.

In summary, this story teaches us (with a hard lesson) exactly what a registered business is. It is one that legally exists and is recognized by law. It is one that enjoys certain rights, benefits and privileges that an unregistered business cannot enjoy.

In a later section of this article, we shall look at all the other reasons why you just have to register your company.


What are the options? What are the types of business registration available?
Before we look at the reasons why you should register your business, it’s important that you know the types of business entities that exist and how they’re different from one another.
This will help you to decide on the right type of business registration that best suits your circumstances.

Soul Proprietorship
Partnerships
Private Limited Liability Company
Public Limited Liability Company.

We will be discussing more about these types of registration, where and how to register tomorrow.
What experiences have you had when you or someone close to you did not register their business?

You can run an online business and still get extra cash from Freelancing and Affiliate Marketing.
