First of all , I would quickly say that it is possible to make money online even if you have a full time job. I know you might want to disagree with this because if you don’t know already ,making money online requires work and dedication for it to work .

But well, it is possible and in this post I am going to explain to you how you can do it. I know that most of my readers may not have full time employments but many do . I have had calls from people who do and It got me thinking about how I could help them start or run their online business even with their full time jobs .

In fact if you have a full time job , you have an advantage…..

What kind of advantage?

Actually you have very many advantages over others that don’t have full time jobs.

1. You Have Money To Invest In Your Business

Like I have always said and as spelled out on the post about how to treat a blog or website as a business ,you will have to invest in this online thing to make money online. It is possible to make money without spending money but most times you will need to invest money.

2. Less Time To Play Around

There are a lot of distraction on the internet. Facebook, twitter , email ,YouTube etc. when you have only a very short time to work ,you are focused and are most times more productive. (for me the internet is my biggest distraction).

So having less time will help you concentrate on the important things when you get online.

So What Are The Important Things Online That Will Help You Make Money online:

I have talked about some of those things already in my emails and in my free e-book about making money online from Nigeria (now sold on Amazon).

These important things are the fundamentals about making money online (like selling something online ) and some semi advance information like online business models.

If you have known these things already ,then good . It is now left for you to start acting and practicing .but for many people (even those with full time jobs) something is holding you back.


These Are Some Of The Things Holding You Back

Am not going to lie, some of these things held me back (and am still fighting with some). It is rooted in some of the things we believe and do.

Here are some of them

you think need to do everything
You think you don’t know enough
You think you don’t have time
But these are all lies and untrue. I will show you how to overcome these resistance and negative believes.

1. You Don’t Need To Do Everything Yourself

When I started online I felt I had to do everything by myself . I felt I had to build my website by myself, I had to create products by myself . I felt if I didn’t do it ,it would not work well.

Well, I was totally wrong.

But I will be frank, I am very happy to have stresses my balls and learnt some of these things and I will strongly advice that you learn some things yourself…..BUT……….

My Guy ,

Me , you or any other person cannot learn and do everything. It is not just possible. If you try to do everything ,you will never be good at anything.

Here Is A Real Example Of Why We Can’t Learn And Do Everything





When your car breaks down on the road and you want to repair it, do you learn or try to learn what the mechanic does so that you can repair it yourself?

Of course not. You would rather pay the mechanic to do the work because he is good at It and because you would rather do something else with your time. Now even with that said, it is still important you know how to check oil and other little things about your car.

Same goes with doing stuff online. You don’t need to do everything but you should just know enough and then start out.

Just like you gave your car to the mechanic to repair ,you can give people work to do on your online business.

One way of doing this is via something called outsourcing .

More on this later.

2. You Don’t Need To Know Everything (You Already Know Enough)

Yes many people think they need to know everything before they can start out. Well, here is the sad and whole truth …



YOU WILL NEVER KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT ANY SUBJECT……


And I can bet my left eye on that.

I am so sure because nothing is ever stagnant . Knowledge keeps changing. New methods and ideas are innovated. If you want to wait till you know everything ,you just de waste your time.

If you have read this blog, other blogs online , know about online business models and other fundamental concepts then you already know enough.

It is time to start acting and practicing what you know.

3. You Think You Don’t Have Time

Well for the full time worker I can understand agree a little.

But the truth is you will always make a little time for something that is important to you. You can always create one hour to work on your online business.(yes even if you work in Lagos and go to work at 4 a.m. and come back by 9 pm.)

If you can’t work on week days ,you can work on weekends. Yes even on Sundays. And all you may need is an hour or two.



Now that I have killed those 3 things that are holding you back ,let’s do a step by step discussion on how to do your online thing.

How To Start Your Online Business Even With A Full Time Job

I have already talked about the need to learn the fundamentals about online business and any online business model ,after that the first thing you need to do is .

Thank you.

you ask any question here.

If you want to learn how to cook a pot of soup ...what is the best way to do it?

Read an e-book or watch someone else doing it?

Answer : watch someone else do it.

what about learn how to succeed online?

Well, it's the same thing.

Learning directly from other successful people works better than reading e-books and courses.

Sad but true.

E-books and courses do work...but not as effective as direct coaching.

What is the closest thing to direct coaching?

...Asking questions directly to others who have successfully done what you plan to do.

Do you know the value of asking a single question and getting 2, 3 , 4 or more people to help you with answers and feedback?


Well, i don't know if you do ..but it is worth the price of hundreds of courses and e-books.


Getting answers and help from a community of like minded people is SUPER valuable.



Make no mistake about that.

Now here is the shocking part.

There is a new community like that on FACEBOOK....and it is completely FREE.
It is targeted to Nigerians.


You get to learn from other people DIRECTLY.
You get free resources ,feedback and advice ...completely free.

You can ask questions and get answers immediately and directly .
It is a special invitation-only group on Facebook.
I call it the Nigerian Online Business Club.

Hi,
This offer is still open.I got e-mails from a few people and is still discussing with some people ...I still expect more. If you have a blog, forum or website in the business , technology or entrepreneurship niche and love to make some money ,just send me an e-mail. I love to place an ad on your web property.

Thank you.

Firstly..banner ads is not about beauty or a graphic competition.
Its all about clicks .

I will rather have an ugly banner ad that get clicks than a beautiful one that does not.

And by the way..one way to get clicks is to have an ugly banner ad.

So arguing about the aesthetic of banner ads is not very useful.

thank you.

What you are about to read is a proven way to make money with blogs , websites and forums. In fact -with any online property or asset you own.(even software)

(…and by the way ,I have a great offer for you at the bottom of this article so read this to the end)

What I am talking about is nothing new.

It is used offline.

It is used by LindaIkeji.

It is used by NairaLand.

It is used by E-mail list owners.

It is called Advertising . In this case Blogweb Advertising.[/b]

Not the use of Google Adsense or other third party advertisement services.

…I am talking about you selling advert space on your blog or website directly to customers.

You see, if you have traffic on your website ,it is better to sell adverts directly by yourself instead of placing Google Adsense on it.

It is more profitable and viable.

Now , i know you may already know or have heard of this before.

I want you to take it serious in 2013.

I thought I should remind you of this because of this e-mail I got from Musa.

Musa is a customer of mine. He bought my 3 Day Website Course and used it to build his blog/website. He has grown that blog and later received advert request from would-be customers.

He sent me this e-mail.





I gave him some advice and hopefully , he will start making steady monthly income with adverts on that blog.

(Just imagine what happens if he has 2 ,3 ,5 or 10 of these blogs)

But the thing is …

The blog advert model depends on traffic ,so you need to keep building traffic or better still -own the traffic by building a list.

Anyway, the point is …people can pay you money to advertise on your blog.

So think about it and get serious with it.


Here Is What You Can Do Now To Get People To Advertise On Your Blog.

1. Create an advert page on your blog detailing your rates and prices

If you have no idea what to charge ,look at other websites around you , check their traffic then fix your own price.

2. Start marketing your advert service.

Go to your likely customers and tell them about your advert service. Go to people already advertising and tell them about your advert service. Approach other website an even offline businesses and tell them about your advert service.

Now, I Have Something Special For You.

If you have a blog or website in the internet business or marketing niche ,then this is good news.

I want to advertise on your blog to prove to you that this business model works…and hopefully to ginger you to take it serious.

Now I am willing to pay ,between N1000 to N5000 (or more depending on your traffic) to place banner adverts on your blog for me.

There are a few conditions though.

You must have traffic (big or small)

your blog must be in “internet business” niche or online business related niche

If you have a blog or website that meets this condition do this.



Send an email to admin@NairaCow.com or visit www.NairaCow.com/contact

With the following

The url of your website (website address)

Your traffic stats
I will contact you so we can discuss.

Thank you.

Merry xmas and Happy new year in advance.

This may fly in the face of all the other advice you will get here...But i want you to take a good look at people who have successful online businesses. What do they all have in common?
i will tell you...they have an e-mail list of subscribers.

think about it.

That is why you receive emails from them.

They get permission from you to send them e-mails. This gives them the ability to contact and market to you as the grow a relationship with you.

So this is my advice to you...follow what works ... don't try to invent the wheel.

This is what works .

1. Find a niche (a profitable niche)

2. create a squeeze page

3. offer something valuable for free to get subscribers

4. Build a list

5. Build a relationship with that list

6.sell products and services to that list


This works for affiliate marketing , information marketing and all kinds of online business models.

Even in direct marketing.

Don't do what they gurus say...do what they do...

And what they do is just what i have listed out to you.


Now it is possible to still succeed without a list...(build a niche site and send traffic to it)...but list building is the ultimate leverage.

Thank you.

coldplay is my number one band.i also love oasis , creed , greenday , blink182, staind

if you want to make money with websites or blogs using Google adsense ,You don't only need traffic ,you need other things too.

1.A Good Niche
some niches pay higher than others because advertisers pay more ...so find a niche where advertisers pay more,. A good example is the Forex niche.

2. Ad Placement
Place adverts where people can easily see and click.

you need a good a sms dealer.

And a good marketing plan for reselling the sms units.

You need to target users that will use it regularly like churches ..

Nairaland has started accepting adverts directly.

Here are a few things you can do to make the most of your advert

1. banner ads is all about clicks not beauty. A beautiful ad that does not get clicked is a loser.

2. What you say is more important that the look of the ad.

3.Tell people exactly what they will be getting when they click the ad

4. Put a call to action on the ad (tell people to click)

5. make you ad different from others (by making it finer or uglier)

6. Don't be clever .use simple words and sentences

7. On the page where people click to , capture the name and contact of the visitors...via a squeeze page or any kind of subscription media.


you don't need to know corel draw or other expensive program to make banner adverts.

you can use paint or power point.

All you do is write ,ad images and add a call to action and save in the format you like. then click or resize to size you want.

There are many things needed to succeed in this business.

Making money with blogging

A blog is like any other kind of inline asset.
To make money with an asset ,you either.

1. rent it or part of it
2.Sell it
3. sell part of it


same thing with blogs.There are man online business models that can work with blogs.

1. pick a target set of people who will find your blog useful
2. write about what people love to read
3. solves problems or provide solutions


hope this helps

you have to first start with finding out what people want to buy.
This is called niche selection.

There are usually 4 very big markets where you can find niches .
1. Money
2.Health
3.relationship
4.Hobbies

A short cut for finding what to sell is looking at what is already selling . All you do is create a better version and compete.

For example, if you enter the money market ,you can find out what people are already buying by looking at the different adverts on success digest extra.
Or you can test if people are interested in what you have to sell by placing an advert then gauge the reaction.

After validating and deciding what you want to sell and the demand for it.you need to create the product.

There are many ways to create information products. Even if you have no knowledge.
1. write it yourself
2.Outsource it to an expert
3.Interview an expert
4.Buy rights to information (PLR)

Formats of Information products

Many people always think of ebooks when the hear information products.Well, e-books are only one formats.
other formats are:

1. audio mp3 download
2.audio cds
3.dvd
4.videos
5.A composite of audio ,pdf files and video.
6.magazines
7.Online subscriptions
8. Membership sites
9. seminars



Basically any format that can deliver information and teach people something is counted.


Marketing your information

This is the part many people fall short.
Marketing is everything ,even in the information marketing business.

To get you marketing right you need good copy-writing skills and marketing plans.Proper sales funnels and channels.

I created an audio for information marketing here. listen to it for free.

There are very many questions many have about making money online in Nigeria . These questions may seem basic but are important . you probably know the answers to most of them but if you don’t ,I will advise you to take your time and read this article.
Here are some of the questions.

1. It Is Possible For Nigerians To Make Money Online ?
Many Nigerians sometimes wonder if Nigerians can actually make money online. The question is borne out of the peculiar issues militating against Nigerians online. Example are the issue with PayPal and ClickBank.
The answer to the question is Yes you can make money online from Nigeria. Many Nigerians I know and my humble self are living proofs.
I cannot claim I have made millions or mad money online but I have made enough that proves it is possible from Nigeria.

2.How Long Does It Really Take To Make Money Online In Nigeria
This is the next logical question because there are many people who misinform others people that they can make money online in 3 days by doing practically nothing.
The amount and time needed to make money online depends on very many things.
It depends of the business model you choose .
It depends on your traffic numbers.
It depends on your conversion rate.
So with all these variables there is one thing I can say for sure -you cannot just make money online in days by doing nothing. You see ,money made whether online or offline comes when a transaction is made usually in exchange for a product or service.

3.Does Having A PayPal Account And ClickBank Account All You Need To Make Money Online?
Many Nigerians who want to start an online business spend time and money looking for how to register with ClickBank and PayPal. Many just believe when they register with these networks they will start making money online.
They are so wrong.
Having a ClickBank account or PayPal account is not the secret to making money online . Not even close.
If it was then everyone who had one would be driving around in expensive cars.
Even if you have 10 PayPal accounts and 20 ClickBank accounts ,you may not make a dime online.

4.Does Making Money With Online Survey Work For Nigerians?
When I started online I heard about how to make money with online surveys. I bought products that claimed to show people how to make money with online surveys.
Do you know what I discovered?
Online surveys don’t work for Nigerians.
The reason is simple.
These online surveys are not meant for Nigerians . No wonder most of these products advise people to hide their IP address and do sundry useless things.
You see ,companies who pay for online surveys are doing it to know about the needs and desires of their prospects and customers . and Nigerians do not fall into any of these categories.
Bottom line is this. Do yourself a favour. Don’t bother about making money with online surveys . It does not work for Nigerians .

5.Is Blogging The Best Way To Make Money Online From Nigeria
Every Nigerians who is starting online is thinking of starting a blog . many just think that having a blog will flood their bank account with lots of cash. This is another fallacy.

Whether you will make money via blogging or not depends on what you are doing on the blog or with the blog.
It depends on the topic and theme of the blog.
It depends on the business model you are using on the blog.
it depends on your traffic numbers.
You see, a blog is a tool and what you can produce with a tool depends on how well you can use the tool.
So just because you run a blog does not mean you will make money online. This is sad but true. Many bloggers had to run their blog for a year or two before they made any reasonable amount online.

That title is a very stupid question ...but pay attention because it is important.
Money made online comes from people who pay for products and services.
Money made online does not come from thin air.
Someone has to pay for something in order for anyone to make money.
And people pay for products and services.

Even Google adsense money paid by Google is paid by advertisers to Google and is paid to you because you have rented part of your blog or website to Google.
You rendered a service to Google.

Many people believe the reason people make money online is the blog, website, forum that they have.

wrong .

These web properties are tools for providing a product or service.

Until you understand this basic concept ,you will concentrate on the wrong things.

summary. people who make money online are providing a product or service.

Every other online business model stems from this basic concept.

here is an article that explains more about list building
http://nairacow.com/make-money-online-from-nigeria/list-building-the-ultimate-leverage-and-secret-weapon-of-online-businesses-and-gurus/

The relationship with a list refers to how you treat your list and how they see you.if you help your subscribers by giving first and helping to solve their problems and tell them the truth first they will love and trust you,and buy from you. If you only ask for money or sell stuff your subscriber will have a bad impression of you.

To buy traffic try ,

1. facebook
2. adbrite
3.blogads
4.clicksor
5. yahoo advertising
6.buy directly on blogs and forums
7.even offline on newspapers works depending on the niche
8.miva

hope this helps

I had a conversation with a friend the other day about a Nigerian website he was setting up. We were both excited about the prospect of the scheme. We talked a bit about what the website was about until I asked him the ultimate question.

How are you going to make money from it?

What kind of online business model are you going to use to make money with it?


  My friend answered that since he was building a website that that was all he needed for making money online from Nigeria .

He believed that just because he was going to have a website ,he was going to make money online. He also mentioned that he had a friend in the US that was going to help him with how to make money with the website.
I told him ,If he could not explain to me in a simple sentence how he was going to make money with his website then he had not figured it out yet and hence should go back and think about it again.

He had no real idea or plan about how he was going to make money with his site.So i asked him some questions.

Important Questions That Need Answers When Starting A blog

Who will be visiting your website ?
He answered that he was targeting indigenes of his state living in Diaspora (US and Europe).

My next question was, why would they be visiting your site ?

Why would they leave the official website of the state ,that has most of what you will be publishing to visit your own website?

What would you be publishing on your website that will be different from the official website of the state?

Who will be looking for that type of information you plan to publish?

He did not really have convincing answers to the questions.
I immediately broke it to him that if he could not provide answers to those questions he may not have good enough traffic to monetize his site.
He revealed that he was thinking of making money with advertising by creating a kind of directory that people in Nigeria from his state can pay money to submit their businesses locations into the directory.

I revealed to him that people only pay money for advertising when they are sure they will get customers from the advertisement and since he was not likely going to get good traffic because his content will not be unique many businesses were likely not going to advertise with him.
Even Google Adsense ads only make money when you have traffic and is in a high paying niche where people advertise very competitively, I added.
He looked a bit disappointed and confused so I threw some ideas at him.

What can you sell on your website?

I informed him that people will have to have a demand for it before he can eventually sell it.

I also advised him that instead of just posting the type of information he was proposing for his website ,he could become a publishers of the local news happening in his state or town. He could publish weddings ,ceremonies, coronation and all kinds of local news happening in his town and could make money by getting people to pay him to cover and publish their event on his website.
This would be more unique .

What Lessons Can We All Learn Here?

Well, my friend had a idea but had no plan.

Having a website or blog does not mean you will just start making money online .
you have to have an offer ,you have to sell something, you have to create something valuable to someone else that you can use to make money with.
I don’t know what you intend to do online ,if it is to make money online you need to answer this same questions too.
You might want to also read a post where I answered questions about making money online with a blogging idea.
Thank you.
