I can see you are an African man to the core. Possibly you did not give her anything on val's day. Well I'm not judging you but try giving an african woman an animal and try to see how it goes.

What is the relevance of valentine to what you are posting here?

I also think if you have any other business to add to this list, its good to share with all nairalanders

It is very possible that someone has given such gifts in this year's valentine. Are you one of them?

Since 2007 up till now I noticed some businesses that failed woefully either because of a change or wrong information. Here goes the list.

Cybercafé business: Due to the introduction of modems, CDMA etc people no longer visit the cybercafé as before. I’ve seen lots of cybercafés close down either because of low patronage or expensive running costs of fuelling, packet data subscription etc.

Forex Trading: Many people lost fortunes in the process of trading Forex, most people who teach Forex do not even understand the business. While the blind leads the blind they all keep falling into a pit. Although Forex trading is a profitable business, So many people fail woefully in Forex trading.

Stock Trading/Buying of Shares: The recession had a terrible blow on most stock traders, the impact is still felt till today, buying of shares do not seem to be a smart idea anymore. Though there is nothing that goes down that won’t go up, who wants to take the risk.

1. A live animal, a pet such as a dog, cat etc. That will be very inappropriate and may eventually be returned to you.

2. Nothing: An empty hand is a wrong valentine gift, giving your valentine nothing at all shows that you are not thoughtful and you do not take your relationship seriously.

3. Money: Giving out money shows that you are not prepared at all. Your valentine will easily forget such a gift since money can evaporate very quickly.

What is your opinion to these three, prove it if I’m wrong.

There is always a confusion whenever you need reliable information about starting a legitimate business online. I advise you to be very careful with these "opportunities" and learn how internet marketing works before putting your money into it. You have to learn before you earn, there is no other way to business than that.

Everyone in business will agree that the primary reason of starting any business is to make profits, which means in order to make profits, you must engage in a profitable business. To my biggest amazement I discovered that lots of those who fail in business followed their passion.
It is very good to have passion for something but is your passion profitable? Are people interested in your passion? It is a big mistake to use passion as the only reason for starting a business.

Before you start any business, it is important to use the law of demand and supply to discover what people are ready to buy but few people are selling. A product with high demand and low supply will bring you more profit than just a passion.

You might ask, how can anyone know whether a product is having a high demand and a low supply? For example, in online business, there is a tool used in knowing the demand and supply of people’s needs called the Google keyword tool. There are many ways of using this tool. However, I may not be able to explain how this tool works in this same article. That will be in another post.

In offline business you can discover profitable businesses by engaging in a market survey, you can conduct a market survey based on your metropolis or you can conduct a wide range market survey, covering many states. You also need to understand how to conduct an effective market survey. Every skill is learnable if you can create the time.

Wishing you success in your business

With the economic condition of this Nation, Business can be sometimes tricky, If you have the strength or a driver that can take you around, you can become a supplier to companies like BAT (British American Tobacco), P&G (Procter and gamble), UAC etc. You only need to supply when there is a need for raw materials. This will reduce your risk and increase your sales.

The business you can do with N15000 depends on what kind of resource you already have at hand. I f you already have a computer, a printer and a modem. You can start an online business with 15,000.

Look at the things you already have at hand which can be a business asset, then determine the business you can do with it. I hope that helps.

You're welcome,
I have one more advise for you. You must learn about any business you want to do before putting in your money, remember every business has its own risk even though some are more risky than others. A simple online business can be a starting point, there is a training I'll recommend for you here: www.projectweb4all.com

I must be sincere with your my brother, you cannot start a 100k business with 100k if you have 100k you can only start a 50k or lesser business. When I finished NYSC. I did business with all the money I have but when things went wrong in sales there was nothing to fall back on.

Ofcourse, you can start an online business with less than 20k but you must already have a computer, internet connection and a good power source. Alternatively you can start a business centre (Typing, Graphic Design, Scanning etc). That's what I first did when all things crashed down. Wishing you all the best.

With my experience online added to the responses of other friends who are trying to generate income online I see that almost everyone who wants to make money online end up losing money online one way or the other. Especially Nigerians who are restricted in most popular internet business websites such as clickbank, paypal etc.

I wrote an article on this issue at www.blog.fountainpenhouse.com
