How can I make money online in Nigeria?

This is the first question most website owners and bloggers ask when I interact with them.

Then I in turn ask them, how do you make money right now? Or What are you good at?

Then they go like, “I sell this, I sell that”. “I work in this or that company”. I can do ABC or XYZ very well.

Then I tell them, “That is exactly how you make money online”.

Truth is,

In order to make money online in Nigeria, you simply have to do online what you are already good at offline. Just provide value for people.

There is actually no difference between making money online and offline.

Therefore, in this post, I will reveal 6 simple strategies you can use to make money online in Nigeria without much stress.
Now, these are just suggestions to get you started. Always make sure you focus only on what you are uniquely good at.



Selling a service or product
In fact, if you have ever thought of making money online in Nigeria, this is the simplest route to take. It is the simple process of using the internet to reach more people who will patronize you.

For example, if you sell Brazilian hair, all you have to do is create really beautiful advert copies (with product images) and place them on Facebook, Nairaland etc. Then create a landing page where people can place order online. So when they place order, you deliver it to their address.

This way, you don’t need to rent a shop, hire sales girl/boy etc. You can operate from home.

This can be applied to any product or service you render. Here at eBrand, we depend almost 100% on our website to get clients. So you too can do that.


Copywriting
If you are already a creative person who loves writing, copywriting is a very simple way to make money online in Nigeria.

The first option I recommend is for you to set up a website of your own and present yourself as a thought leader in the industry by proving that you have the ability to write copies that can help businesses create awareness and publicize their products or services.


Tip** Click here to discover platforms you can use to create a website by yourself or hire a competent web development team to design your website.


Alternatively, you can start out as a freelancer on platforms such as Freelancer, Upwork, Contentmart or Writeraccess.

Copywriters are among the highest income earners in the world of writing globally. However, it’s not for lazy minded people.

So if you are good at writing, you can give it a shot.



Affiliate Marketing
This is not a very popular way to make money online in Nigeria (especially if you are resident here).

However, it is fairly a simple strategy. All it takes is to direct people to the website of a seller of a particular product – such that when the person buys something from their website, you will be paid a commission like 5% to as high as 70%.

Only go for this strategy if you are already naturally good at facilitating transaction between buyers and sellers.

In Nigeria presently, there are no popular affiliate platforms like Clickbank, Avant link, ShareAsale etc. that will make your work of finding affiliate opportunities very easy.

So you have to search for individual companies (especially ecommerce companies) like Jumia, Konga, Dealdey etc. and sign up on their platform and become their affiliate.

After you have signed up, you need to drive traffic to the company’s website. And the good thing about affiliate marketing is that you can promote as many products/services as possible provided you know how to do it.

Tip** The best strategy for affiliate marketing in Nigeria is through niche blogging and social media promotion.

Online Tutorial
If you are good (I mean really good) in any field, you can start teaching people about it online.

Tutoring is yet another effective strategy you can use to make money online. And the good thing is that it has the capacity to bring in steady inflow of money to you.

To get started, You can register on one of the popular online tutor websites like Tutorme.com.

Project management Program, H.R.M, Digital marketing amongst others are online based programs which are really popular right now and tutors are in high demand.

Online tutoring is really booming worldwide because many working-class people find it more convenient due to time factor.



Selling Ads Spaces to companies
This is another lucrative way of making money through your website. But there is a catch!

Your website needs to have insanely massive amount of traffic (i.e. people visiting the website on daily basis) to attract high advert rates.

And to have a website with lots of traffic is something that takes time and consistency.

Another way to command high advert rate is if you are able to establish your website as an authority in your field. That way, you can convince companies that you have a targeted small audience they can advertise their products and services to.

E.g. If you have a website that attracts doctors and other health workers, you can easily convince pharmaceutical companies to advertise there.

What you charge for ads space depends on the quality of your website and the traffic it commands.

But take note, It’s not just as simple as it sounds.



Selling e-Books and other digital products
This is alternatively called information marketing.

Many smart young Nigerians are making millions of Naira monthly selling e-Books to people in need of specialized knowledge that is not easily accessible anywhere online.

To use this strategy to make money online in Nigeria, you have to find a particular niche that a lot of people are having challenge in. Some of the most popular ones these days are Health, sex, money, religion etc.

Have you seen adverts such as these online recently –

How to clear pimples and acne within 24 hours
How to slim down naturally in 3 days – No dieting, No drugs, No exercise
Secret strategies on how to last longer in bed (yeah, this one is really popular these days),
How to make money online while you sleep.
Those are information marketers doing what they know how to do best.

And the best part is that you don’t necessarily have to be an expert in the field to be an information marketer. You can hire someone to do the writing for you. Or you can do an in depth research that an average person would be too lazy to handle.

The most important thing is to know how to convince people to buy the information.

Like I mentioned before, you must be a good salesman/copywriter in real life before you can implement this strategy and succeed.

Conclusively, it is very easy to make money online in Nigeria. But first, you should be good at something offline, then you can transfer that skill online.

It’s quite hard but 100% possible to drive massive traffic to your website!
You probably believe you’ve done everything you think is the best already, from website design to daily content post yet the result says negative.

Obviously something is wrong, this is no brainer!
The billion dollar question is — what are the brain behind the poor traffic generation of your website?

Am quite sure most business owners especially start-ups have asked this question over and over again yet the answer seems to be lost in the wind.
Fortunately for you, Google has directed you to the right place.
In this piece, I‘ll tell you the ultimate possibilities WHY your website is not generating traffic and how to fix them.
Without much ado, here are the top 6 reasons why your website is not driving traffic and how you can fix them.

1st reason: Your SEO is weak:
Are you aware that Google is the best open source for generating free traffic?
Getting your website on the first page of Google Search engine is tough but not impossible.
It take steady hard work and obedience to Google guidelines to rank high in Google search engine.
In the words, you need a superb content to begin with.

However, there are other factors that can help you skyrocket your Google ranking such
as;
- creating XML sitemap for you website
- Keywords optimization
- SEO plugin installation and so on
The absence of any of these factors might cause your website to be invisible on Google search by making your SEO appear weak.
Weak SEO will useless your effort to be found when people search for product related to your niche.
The bitter truth is that people hardly go to the second page on Google when they are searching for something.
Personally, when I’m searching for something on Google, once I can’t find what am looking for on the first page, I will enter another keywords instead of going to the next page.
You might even be surprised that most people doesn’t know that other pages aside the first one exist.

How to fix it:
Install search console, Google Analytics and an XLM sitemap: these tools are essential in getting your website found by Google.
Google Search Console allows you to monitor your overall search presence.
While Google Analytics allows you to track your website’s traffic.
It is equally useful when you want to confirm your webpage with the Google Search Console formerly called Google Webmaster tool.
And then XML sitemaps makes it possible for Google bots to crawl through your site and of course read your website. You should also consider the installation and configuration of Yoast SEO.

Yoast SEO is known to be the best Wordpress SEO plugin. This plugin will also help
you boost your site SEO and drive traffic to your website.
This plugin is quite simple. Once you install it, use the configuration wizard to guide you
with the setup.

2nd reason: Your content is Boring
As far as blogging is concern, content remains the king in traffic generation.
How do you feel when you crawl through a blog with quality blog posts?
Am sure leaving almost became impossible? Why – the post is fleshy with quality content.
What then can you say about your own posts?
Can visitors get stuck as soon as they get into your site? Or do they jump in, hiss and left?
As long as you continue to write resistible, uninteresting, and boring content, nobody is going to waste his/her time clicking on your blog post.
So to generate traffic and get people stuck in your website, you need to write useful and compelling content, if not, you’re no closer to getting traffic to your website.

How to fix it:
First you need to know your onus. What problem are you trying to solve with your website through your content.
Every content must have a target, so what’s yours?
Writing a quality content means understanding your audience and writing to suit their needs.
Find out what their problem is and then render a solution to that problem with a well–researched content ranging from keywords planning to the actual writing. You might consider using tools like Google keyword planner, SEMRush, etc to get exact keywords people are looking for.
Note: before writing a blog post, always place yourself in your audience’ shoes, by doing so, you’ll able to have a solution to their problems.

3rd reason: Your Headlines are Loose and resistible
What attracts you to click on a post?
I usually get attracted once I set my eyes on catchy headlines-I don’t even waste time hitting the click button-why? It’s compelling and irresistible. No one would even bother clicking if your headline is not interesting.

Eyes definitely eat first the before tongue get to taste the food.
So if you’ve spent all your time and energy writing quality content and then drops a boring headline, 90 out 100 people won’t even want to know if the content is superb or not. So headline is as much important as quality content- both go in handy.

How to fix it:
You should know what your audience are looking for so you need to know exact keyword or something very close.
Thank goodness, you finally get an awesome keyword.
The next thing is to write something capable of arresting the attention of people looking for such keywords.

Examples of titles:
 Top 10 ways of getting your website rank no. 1 in Google
 5 best ways to make money on the internet
 How to overtake your competitors and rank no.1 in SEO
 How you can promote your sales to 70% through your website in 2018
Write something that is catchy. However, your titles should be related to your niche.

4th reason: You content lack promotion
It is one thing to write a quality content, and another to promote the content.
Do you just hit the publish button and relax while your content sink and sink until it can’t be found anymore.
As a startup business, you brand may not have been recognized by people-you need to get people to know about the services you offer.
Prospects only clicks links that are visible to them, and yours can only be found if promoted.
Even large businesses also promote their contents.
So your inability to generate enough traffic could be lack of promotion.

How to fix it:
This absolutely has nothing to do with budget- in other words, even if you’re running a very tight budget you can as well promote your content and get people to know about your brand-HOW?
Social media marketing- It is free unless you want to subscribe to paid promotion campaign.
Social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc) is one the best ways you can promote your business, content and website as well-this is no brainer.

With good social media management you can get thousands of traffic in a matter of days.
All you need is create social media presence (I would recommend Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn)
As long as you continue to promote your social media presence, you’ll definitely get visitors running through your website.
Note: You must be socially active to get the expected result.

5th reason: Your website has terrible user experience
The poor site traffic you complained about could be as result of the terrible and horrible user experience of your website.
If your site is not user-friendly, I bet you won’t have enough traffic-in fact your site visitors will even decrease in number.
Nobody would want to have bad experience when he/she needed to surf for internet for something.
One thing you must know is that man (male and female) by nature is impatient. So if your site is not user friendly then generating traffic going to be almost impossible because people will not visit your site irrespective of your superb content.
Bad user experience will discourage those that wants to read your post.
It is good to have a site that’s user friendly.

How to fix it:
When it comes to a user-friendly website, many things are involved.
Poor wed design, poor loading speed and many more.
So you have to modify your website and make it user-friendly, let visitors have the flexibility of navigating through your site without obstructions.
Optimize your website to load faster at least three second load. Optimize the images and videos on your page so that your website won’t spend years loading. No one has time for such terrible experience.

6th reason: Your website is not mobile friendly
You might be wondering why your site is still not having much clicks. Check if your website is mobile friendly.

With the billions of people surfing the internet through their mobile phone, chances are that you won’t get much traffic. The portability of mobiles phone allows people to surf the internet anywhere and anytime provided there’s internet provider. So if your site in not generating enough traffic, the problem could be from non- friendliness of your
website.

How to fix it:
Use some of these tool to check if your website is mobile friendly then optimize your site to be compatible with mobile phones.
Now over to you, what other top reason (s) do you think can cause poor traffic generation of a website?

Tip 3: Develop your website in such a way as to gain customers trust

Your website should be able create and build customer confidence in your goods, services or your company itself. This is not a simple task but, it is something you must do to have a good end – Why not inform your site visitors about your refund policy and return goods.

Tip 4: Ensure your website is built with a capacity to build and retain your relationships with your customers
A good salesman in an organization does not only provide customers with what they need but also build a good rapport with them. In a pursuit for new clients, the existing ones must not be neglected. Many companies are guilty of this.
In order to create rapport and entice customers to always come back for more of your products/services, your company’s website should have regular promotional campaigns that can sustain the interest of the customers. Promos and other benefits through your website can retain the existing customers and also get new ones. share with your visitors, and make it easier for them to locate, then you can achieve the unimaginable.
