₦airaland Forum

I hardly comment in threads majorly because of the stream of jokers and unserious persons flooding this forum. But alot of serious folks have said something worthwhile in this thread which has aroused my interest.

Firstly, since you have made money online before you should understand that it is not an easy process and demands alot of work. Someone talked about learning website development. It is a good idea as you will be sooner than later start building websites for businesses and organizations.

Personally, I have two major websites that fetch me money consistently. The first is www.procvnigeria.com which offers professional CV writing services. It has hundreds of email subscribers and thousands of social media fans. With a monthly investment of 100USD for Google adwords, we get to process between 5 - 20 orders weekly servicing more than 20 or more paying clients monthly. Each month we make more than 400% ROI in adwords campaign. We also work on our SEO so the month we dont do ad campaigns, we still process orders though not as much. Currently our website is ranked 1 in Google search result with key words "expert CV writers in Nigeria".

Secondly, my other income generating website is www.officemanager.com.ng which is a membership portal for contractors in Nigeria. It has over 500 email subscribers (targeted) and more than 150 paid members that get their membership renewed every 3 months, 6 months or 12 months.

If you want to make money online, am not talking of 3rd party services like clickbank, Amazon, Adsense, etc. Am talking about a service you control 100%. You should consider setting up a website that offers;

- A unique sought after service that can be delivered online,
- A membership website that has what people need for them to actually pay membership fees.

You need to be consistent, do not shut down just because business is down at the moment. My OfficeManager website did not generate income towards the end of last year and I almost considered shutting it down. However, I changed my mind and decided to let it go on. Just this January, the website has given me almost 200k. So, consistency is king.

You should embrace online ads for promotion. Make a budget monthly and stick to it. in a few months you will start employing extra hands....trust me.

You can look at various online money generating websites owned my others and try to understand their dynamics. E.g.
SimplePay.ng
Webhosting sites
myads.ng
etc.

They all provide one form of service online and they earn hundreds of thousands annually. So, create a website that provides services (do not scam, always deliver), drive traffic to it using ads (I so much like adwords), and then enjoy your income.

I hope i was explicit enough.

You can register at www.officemanager.com.ng to get latest contract opportunities around the country.

Hmmm...baba, always ahead of his boys us in the game

Would have been cool if its launched in India....those coders there can give it a global download.

My brother. NDDC
I was supposed to get mobilization on Wednesday but buhari sacked MD + ED Finsnce + ED Projects on Monday. The thing strong o. Now I don't even know the status of the work. I just vex travel out.
Anyway, I found a way to cut my loses, since buhari came, I started avoiding direct bids, rather I only accept subcontracted jobs, that way, the main contractor handles the financing and I provide core technical support at full pay. I hedged against risk.

In this case, NDDC awarded a huge Solar street lighting contract to the main contractor. Because of Body Language, he really wants the stuff to work so he came to subcontract to us.

Mums contractor raised financing but instead of commencing, he was busy looking to squeeze out as much 'cut' from every corner. Now see, MD is out and APC is fully in. Mumu man.

Hehehehehe. One must find a way to still remain vaible as a contractor even when circumstances changes. But I think its time to call it quits chasing work with Oil companies. Like you rightly said, either its subcontracting or its a self-financing project (government).

Try remita

Remita is just too complex and I don't have the time for such complexities at the moment.

I really don't know why something like this in Nigeria dies quickly. I usually enjoy the good old method of customers going to the bank to make deposits for services they need from me. However, most of them have been complaining of lack of time and a busy schedule so I needed to find another alternative. Hence, my decision to integrate SimplePay in my website.

Back then, I enjoyed their services but now I do not know what is going on with them. Customer support phone toll free lines are dead, what they have on their website is barely switched on. No support ticket feature in their website (not functioning at all), and I think they have just one staff.

My major problem now is settlement. How can you say it takes 24 hours to get your money from your simplepay account, but now its taking days to withdraw my money?

I understand the urgency to establish more money making ventures but Mr Simeon, if you are reading this, try to give simplepay more attention. Because it is losing its stride. Personally, I think am going to take them off my website. I dont need to keep trying to call for days just to get my money.

47 views and no response. Na wah.

I feel like doing an MSC program in NOUN but when I tell others about it, they seem indifferent like it is a no-go school. I really don't have the time for other universities and I believe NOUN will provide me with the flexibility I need. So, why do people think NOUN is a poor choice for MSC programs (or any program at all)?

Please enlighten me guys.
