Average Nigerians don't know the full potential of eCommerce or even the basic of eCommerce business in Nigeria. The usual mental picture is that any business that looks like Jumia and Konga is a typical e-commerce business.

You'll be surprised as dudes are making over a million naira monthly income with just a single page simple e-commerce website in Nigeria. You don't necessarily have to have tons of products like Jumia. Simply selling your service is an e-commerce business.

As a matter of fact, you don't need to have a product to sell or services to render before you start up your eCom business... simply connecting the two together could just be the necessary cue you need to get started.

Here's a typical way to start the modern e-commerce business in Nigeria from scratch!

Being successful with the mini importation has to do with the kind of products you choose to import and your marketing strategy.

Here's a free way to start mini importation business in Nigeria. All you need to be successful at this is the ability to find products that people are willing to buy.

Product around these niches always sells well:
# Sexual product
# Security
# Fitness
#Skincare
#Health etc.

Otherways to find these products are going through products ads on Facebook, look for products people are promoting and look at peoples engagement on it. Higher engagement shows that people want that kind of products.

The right knowledge is absolutely needed when starting mini importation business. Just because some products are crazily cheap on some Chinese website doesn't mean the products are good. I've lost 45k to one of this Chinese website because the products are inferior.

So you must be willing to research more about these products before importing them. This article can give you a head start on that.

The first goods I imported via mini importation cost me 45k and everything was a waste because the products are bad. I've discovered that if you want to make it with mini importation the product you're selling must be a unique product.

Don't go and start importing products people can easily found on the street side because you think the money is cheap. you'll lose all the money invested because you'll be surprised nobody is going to buy the products.

Instead looks for unique products ... a good example is products that arouse people curiosity, products they can't easily come by. if you want products can that really move market I'll suggest you look into the following:
# Security
#Sexual product
#Health
#Skincare etc..

These are products that people are ready to buy and they will continue to buy. This guy has more info about Mini Importation in Nigeria, I'll suggest you check it out.

Phew! After more than two weeks of reading this whole thread (all the way from Season 1), I can finally say a big thank you to all the great guys who have shared their knowledge here so selflessly.

I stumbled on this thread during my research for a 'Small Scale Importation Business' and it proved to be very useful. However, due to the long, winding and often disjointed conversations in the thread, I was tempted to give up a couple of times.

The truth is, it is VERY difficult for a newcomer to this topic to follow up with the ideas and knowledge shared on this thread. Lest we have all forgotten, this information-packed thread is over 400 pages long and contains over 4,500 comments. How many people can find the patience to read all that? And even when they finish reading everything, there are more comments being added every single day!

So, I have decided to offer my final and published article as an introductory course for people who want to join the conversation on this thread. Reading the article will bring them up to speed and save them the long hours it took me to read everything from Season 1.

You don't have to worry, I'm not one of those trying to peddle an eBook. The article is very detailed and is totally FREE. It should take you less than 20 minutes to digest and it contains many of the key pieces of info shared here.

You can read it at: http://www.smallstarter.com/browse-ideas/internet-business/how-to-start-a-small-scale-importation-business-in-africa

Of course, I'll be looking forward to your feedback. Do you think the article captured all the MAJOR points and keys to success in this business?

Thanks!
