What Is Opera News Hub & How Does It Work?

Before we proceed on our quest to make money with Opera news hub, allow me to bore you a little on how it came to be.

The Opera news hub is a new online media platform where bloggers and content writers can get exposure to their masterpiece.

It connects seamlessly with other Opera mobile apps like the default Opera mini browser. Which means content creator will have the opportunity to reach more international audience and more exposure.

And at the same time, get more social media followers and spread their content all over the internet.

This basically means the more awareness your content gets on the news hub the more potential income you can make.

Opera itself is a freeware web browser for:

Microsoft
Linux
Andriod
iOS
macOS
It was conceived in 1994 and was bought by the Opera software in 1995 and everything was boring which eventually brought us to Opera news hub. Learn more!




This is actually not difficult and don’t get scared with the term blogger and content creation.

To make money with the opera news hub, you just need to come up with interesting stories and publish them as convenient.

The least word count is 150 words and you can write and many words as you can write. The trick to making more with this platform is to write much content as possible.

Everything comes back to your effort and how much time you’re willing to give; the more time you give can easily increase your payout.

[b][/b]What If You Can’t Write Or You Don’t Have The Time?
Perhaps you don’t have the time to write the article yourself or you simply think you’re not good enough when it comes to writing?

I have good news for you!

Do you know you can actually outsource the article writing…? I have a platform where I get article written as low as $2.

Opening Your Stripe Account to Process Payments As A Non-US Resident
Once your business LLC is registered, your business will equally receive a tax ID. Which is part of what we need to create your Stripe account.

To create your Stripe account, simply head over to Stripe .com and create your account. Enter your email address and full name.

After the registration, you’ll need to activate it by filling an account application. In the application, you’ll need to enter your US company details, EIN, your personal details and a digital copy of your government-issued ID.

Step 8. Inc Protection Advisor
The Inc protection advisor and the remaining steps are Upsells. They are not necessarily what you need to have to have your stripe set up.

The remaining steps include:

Lawsuit Protection – $99 (this is a form of protections that exclude you from your business when your business gets sued.

I paid for this, but you don’t have to if you don’t have the funds now. Plus, you can always pay for it later with Inc Authority).

Express Delivery – $49 (if you want the entire process done within two days you can pay for express delivery.

But normally, your business should be ready within five days using Inc Authority).

Domain Name – $29.95 (this allows Inc Authority to secure your proposed business domain name for you.

This is totally not necessary since you can get it for less than $10 with NameCheap).

Business License Package – $99 (This also works in form of lawsuit protection. But as I said, you don’t need all this for now, and you can always get them in the nearest future if you want).

Finally, you’ll need to make payment to secure your LLC business registration. The cost of what you’re paying for should be:

1. EIN/Tax ID – $49
2. Operating Agreement – $89
3. Kentucky State Filling fee – $40
== $179

Step 7. Custom Operating Agreement
At this step, you need to include the custom operating agreement because it’s very important. It actually proof your ownership of the business.

And at the same time represent the state law backing your business

Also Read: My lecture on How to grow your business from zero to selling thousands per month.

Step 6: Getting Your Tax ID (EIN)
Inc Authority will be getting your EIN or Tax ID for you at just $49. Which is relatively cheap compared to other services out there.

Finally, “tick the Minimize business and taxes” and proceed to save and continue.

Step 5: Your Business Address
At this stage, you need a physical US address where your document can be sent to. In my case, I gave them a call and I told them to send it directly to my email address.

But that doesn’t mean you don’t need the US address, you do! In other to set this up there are various services you can use like:

1. physicaladdress.com
2. virtualpostmail.com
3. shipito.com
You can get started for free using shipito.com, you just need to create an account and you’ll be giving address automatically. A physical address!

Next, enter your business address and click on Save and Continue.

To get yourself a free US number that works fine, you can download the TextPlus App on Google play store.

The App is free and it’s equally what I use.

Step 4. Enter Your Business Information
As I said earlier, you’ll need to pick a name for your business and a search will be carried out on it to check if it’s still available.

If it’s available, your business name will be created immediately upon the state approval. However, in the case whereby your proposed business name is not available, you’ll need to adjust the name or find another one.

But it’s not going to cost you any additional fee!

What you need to do here is simply enter your proposed business name, a good example is Dropshipping Technology and also write a short description of the business.

After that, click on “Save and Continue”

Step 3. Business Owner Details
The next step is about the business owner. At this stage, you’ll need to enter your First and Last name, your email address and as well as your US phone number.

Also, you need to click the “Terms and Condition” box to continue to the next step

The next page is your business entity type and the state you want to form the LLC.

Step 2. Choose Your Business Entity and State
Simply choose LLC (Limited Liability Company) from the drop-down menu and choose your state. You can go with Kentucky because of the low cost and the cheap annual tax fee.

Now let’s proceed to form your LLC at Inc Authority:
Setting up your LLC with Inc Authority is really straight forward, I’ve broken it down into the step by step guide below. All you need do is just follow the steps and your LCC and Tax ID will be set up.

Step 1. Head Over to Inc Authority
First thing first, you need to head over to IncAuthority.com to get started. Upon getting to the web page click on the “START NOW FOR FREE” button…

Setting Up an LLC for Your Business in The US

One of the perks of having your business set up in the US isn’t limited to Stripe usage. You can have several similar businesses under the registered business.

And also important, is the fact that you don’t have to have a Social Security Number (SNN) to have your business set up in the US.

You just need to choose a NAME for your business and decide on the state you want it to be registered in the US.

However, you do need to be careful as to which state you decide to set up your business entity. This is because some states charge high state filling (Business Registration) and as well as annual business tax.

But I do find;

Colorado
and Kentucky…
to be quite affordable.

Colorado charges $10 annual Tax fee and $50 state filling while Kentucky charges $40 state filling and $15 annual Tax fee.

At least as at the time of writing this article. You could as well do further research on that if you want.

The state annual tax is a tax you pay on your business at the end of every year. So they vary based on the state you choose to set up your business.

States like California and Hawaii should definitely be out of your pick because they are freaking high on tax.

But not to worry, the sole purposing of this post is to show you how to get it done as easy as possible and at the cheapest fee.

I’m equally not based in the US but I have my business set up in the US so I can equally use Stripe to process payments as a non US resident.

I was able to do this using IncAuthority.com and Kentucky as my business state because it’s relatively cheap.

The good news is I’ve been able to partner with them because I know many people will be needing this service and I want them to have it at the best place.

Plus, there are various service out there charging as high as $1000 for this same purpose. But at the end of this post I’ll show you how you can get it done for less than $200.

Coming from someone who also is a non-resident of the US I know how beneficial it can be for your online business.

Most especially my blog readers!

How to Set Up Stripe Account for Non-US Resident or Non Supported Countries

For you to set up a Stripe account legally without any future issue as a non US resident you’ll need the following:

1. US Business Formation (LLC)
2. EIN (Employer Identification Number) or Tax ID
3. US Physical Address
4. A US Phone Number
5. Finally, US Bank Account

Okay. Before you get overwhelmed, everything can be set up within a few days and equally at a relatively low price.

The most important of all is creating a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in the US in other for you to get your Tax ID (EIN).

Once you’ve gotten your EIN or Tax ID, you can then proceed to create your Stripe account.

Below is a message from Stripe confirming the validity of setting up a stripe account as a non US resident.

If you’re a non-US citizen and have a US based business with an EIN you would be able to open a Stripe account. When we request the last four digits of your SSN, you can just enter ‘0000’ please ensure that you enter a valid tax ID (EIN) that has been provided for your business. We will then reach out at a later stage and request either a passport or government issued ID to verify your identity.

If you don’t have a SSN/ITIN, you are only able to register as an LLC Corporation, Non-Profit or Partnership. If you sign up as a sole Prop/Individual, we require a valid SSN/ITIN even if you have a valid EIN

So basically, as a non-resident you can create an account with Stripe so far you have a business entity in the US and a valid EIN number.

Luckily for you, you don’t have to pay for the business formation, however, you do need to pay for state filing and tax ID.

How to Open and Use Stripe to Process Payments As A Non US Resident

I’ll assume you offer services online or have an e-commerce/dropshipping store or you simply need Stripe to receive payment on your business website.

Whichever it may be, Stripe is still by far the #1 payment processor you can use to process payments on your website across the Globe.

Using stripe allows you to easily accept payment on your website via credit card without transferring your customers to another website.

The payment processor is embedded on your website which makes it invariably quick, easy and flexible for your customers to make payments.

It doesn’t matter what country your customer is paying from, your price in dollars is charged on your customer’s credit card and remitted to your stripe account immediately.

We all know how important it is to receive your hard-earned profits after you must have invested your time and funds in the business.

And using Stripe makes this easier and reliable! Even better than PayPal.

However, the bad news we already know is that Stripe is only available for residents in the US and a number of other countries.

But, what if your country is outside Stripe availability by default, is all hope gone? Nah!

This now brings us to the good news that you can still use Stripe legally even if your country is not part of the supported country.

How can you achieve this?

All you need to do is register a business in the US and use this information to set up your Stripe account legally.

And this is exactly what I’ll be doing justice to in a bit…

Stripe – This is the most widely used payment gateway in the world even better than PayPal. Their seamless integration makes it easy to receive payment on your website in any part of the world.

By default, it doesn’t work in Nigeria. And to legally use it, you’ll need to register your business in the US. I’ve written a complete guide on how to register your business to use Stripe.

PayPal – this platform is one of the most widely accepted payment gateways but unfortunately it’s not visible in Nigeria. However, there has been a way around that. Which I’m sure few people are currently aware of.

If you’re not, I have a PayPal report on how to set up your PayPal account that receives payment in Nigeria. Although it’s going to cost you a fee, a tiny fee in that matter… You can check the price here!

Alternatively, you can use…
Paystack – this platform accepts payment by default only in Nigeria. But if you want to receive payment internationally, you need to create an account with them and have your business registered with CAC and also have a corporate bank account in your business name.

After this, you can then send them a request for receiving international payment. If everything goes well, you can start receiving payments within 24 hours.

So, here was the principle that I applied

• Learn new things every day even if you don’t need it at that point in time it might help you later.

• No free money anywhere, Acquire great skills, understand the human psychology start selling something(it can be services, product, or anything sellable)

• If you persist enough, you do achieve your goal. Patience is one of the greatest skill in business alot of people don't know

Finally, to make things easier for you, learn from people who have gone through that journey. That's learning from other people's experience.

Learning from already successful people in that field help’s you to shortcut the process by reducing your failure rate and increase your chance of success.

Who you know will determine what you know, you’re an average of 5 people you relate with.

If you move with broke people, you do end up broke. Move with the rich and same theory applies.

Look at your life and you can change it for good. It all in your hand and no other person.

It all depends on what you spend your time and money on. Make a step today and your life will change forever.

The Issue of Payment Gateway
The payment gateway is still the greatest hindrance to several online businesses in Nigeria. However, in the case of dropshipping, there are few ways around that. They include:

Stripe
PayPal and
Paystack
Stripe – This is the most widely used payment gateway in the world even better than PayPal. Their seamless integration makes it easy to receive payment on your website in any part of the world.

By default, it doesn’t work in Nigeria. And to legally use it, you’ll need to register your business in the US.

Step 5: Start making money

Like I mention earlier, to make the work easier, there is a dropshipping plugin called “The AliDropship plugin”. This plugin is specifically designed for dropshipping.

What it does is that it helps you to import product descriptions, photos, etc from your supplier website to your store.

This can be done with just a click and when a product is sold on your store, it automatically sends the customer details to your supplier. The only thing left for you to do is to pay the supplier.

After that, the supplier then ships the product to your customer address without questions asked and your customer won’t know the product is from a third party.

Dropshipping has proven to be a good residual stream of income when done the right way and following the proper channel.

So learning how to start a dropshipping business in Nigeria is not enough, you need to implement what you’ve acquired.

Step 4: Market your business

Obviously, without marketing, nobody is going to visit your store. You can’t just sit down and expect customers to come and buy from your store.

You have to take it to them. The best place to market your product is through Facebook and Google Merchant.

You can do this by creating a Facebook fan page after your domain name and create a Facebook business account to run your Facebook advert.

When running your Facebook ad, choose one of your cheapest products to drive traffic to store. Or use this method called Free Plus Shipping Model.

Once they make their first purchase they will naturally come back.

Other means is by collecting their emails upon sign-ups and send marketing emails on new products or discount offers on existing products.

Instagram ads and Instagram influencer do a good job in marketing dropshipping products too, you can as well check them out.

Shopify –
Shopify is a self-hosted platform and a website builder that allows you to easily build a website under a few minutes. You can create a store under 30 minutes and start selling any kinds of products you want to.

This is one of the best platforms for dropshipping if you are a newbie or even a professional. It allows you to focus on your business by branding and marketing your products while they manage your store for you.

The good thing is they offer a 14days trial. You can set-up your store in a day and start marketing immediately for the first week.

With this, it’s possible to make profits within the 14days and pay your subscription even before the trial expires.

But then, just because I said so, doesn’t mean you can!

I will recommend Shopify for those with no experience with WordPress as Shopify is relatively easy compared to WordPress but more expensive.

WordPress –

Here you need to get a domain name. That is, the name of your website, and get a web hosting account to host your web store.

Your web host determines how your web data is saved online. This is practically like a house for your website while the domain name is like an address to that house.

After your domain name and your hosting account are ready, you can then install e-commerce software (WooCommece plugin) on your website after you’ve must have installed WordPress from your Cpanel.

This can be done through one-click installation. And after that, you can start tweaking the website to your taste.

Here, you will literally create your dropshipping website yourself but no coding is involved and it’s nothing you can’t do.

Here’s the most important part, after everything is set up, you then need to get this Dropshipping Plugin (AliDropship). Without the plugin, you can’t run your dropshipping business effectively.

Better still, if you can’t create the website yourself, or you don’t have enough time probably because of your work, you can easily order a ready-made dropshipping store from AliDropship.

This is a perfectly customize dropshipping store with hots products that are ready to start selling. No work is required from your side when you ordered the custom dropshipping store. You can read the full review here.
