ceecia:
what products do you sell?

why will anyone want to tell you what product they sell. That's like asking people to come open shop next to you to sell the same item you sell

ceecia:
What are the fastest selling and inexpensive products on the Jumia platform now? I am thinking of relisting my store.
MukaboxNG

I don't really think I can answer that question, its left to you to do your research, what you need is get a product that solve a pressing problem. Ofcourse its best you relist your store

9PBLIVE:
I know you must have experience


1. One stupid clock that. Keep on rotating

2. I can't even use the social media app

3.Their battery is fucking damn worst

4. Switch off and on even when you are charging it

5.Its useless

you bought refurbished. Try get the originaal bb bold5

9PBLIVE:
you would understand me if you have used bold 5

I have been using bold 5 since 2012 and even chanhge it 3 time to get new and I don't understand what you

purplecircle:

Keying into the trend and latest happening is a sure way t Find new business opportunity and key into them. Another thing which I have come to realize as a result of my collapsed VPN/Free Browsing Business, is that every product have a life cycle and failing to understand when to key out of a business can course colossal losses and leave you with a lot of regrets, as well as valuable lessons.
This is my story.
It all started back in 2012 when MTN BBC subscription works fast and free when configured to a VPN like PDproxy and the likes, I'm sure you remember.
I just finished secondary school and because of the Nigerian factor and my bad attitude towards studying then, I couldn't secure admission into a university.

I decided not to just stay at home doing nothing, but start a business, and I happened to be conversant with Computers and Web Technology so I decided to start my web consultancy business.
My goal was to launch two products
1. Web design
2. VPN/Free Browsing Business.
I needed a capital of N120,000 to start up, from programming the VPN software, to getting Servers and printing proposals and others.
Nigerians hate risks, I found it so hard to raise that money, but luckily, a friend of my brother bought into my vision. He provided the while capital with an agreement that he receives 40% of Net Profit, and that I help him directly manage his importation of perfume bottles from China. I was indirectly serving him and paying him for it.
I had no choice but to agree since he was my only hope of capital.

Fast word to four months after, we successfully set up the VPN, did both local and online promotion and we had over 200 clients Paying N500 for server to browse free per month.
The money was steady coming, I even forgot I was supposed to develop a web consulting business in which my primary target market was Private Nursery, Primary and secondary school. To introduce online payment system, online results checking, database creation of all students etc.

I started to leave large, spending profit without any plan of diversication and expansion. After every month, I called friends, went to bars and close to down. In the word of Nigerians "I was leaving Large".

Around August 2013, MTN began to up grade Their system and gradually, profit began to strong down.
It was a sure sign that this was the time to cash out, instead I spent money consulting programmers in Indonesia, India and one Igbo guy(Nnamdi, he was gold) and still to no avail, and by the start of September, profit reduce to the extent that all that was left were customers that paid in advance, who complained bitterly.
And soon, we closed down.
My partner wasn't that affected because he saved all his profit, in the space of 11monthz, he had over N700, 000 to show for his investment, but me? NOTHING.
We closed down all Operations December 2013, and tha5 was about the period I got admission and entered Univsersity.

What I learnt from this experience?

1. Financial Intelligence is a must
After managing and failing in my business, I discovered that the main reason that accounted for my failure was the lack of financial intelligence. I kept spending and spending without thinking ahead of the days to come. Trust me, tommorow doesn't take care of itself in Nigeria.

2. Uncontrollable Variables should not be the basis of your bussines
Despite the fact the proper planning would have made me leave with something, the fact that my business would built around MTN technical issues made its survival difficult since I can control that.

3. Always Diversify
To increase your chance of success, learn to invest in other ventures. Even as a worker, it's good to have other places you make money from because, even the job can go away all of a sudden.
Another thing that came in play was the Teenage factor cuz I was young when I tried this venture, I don't need to explain this factor as we all have been there.

I can go on and on about what I learnt but I chose to stop here. I hope other Entrepreneurs and intending entrepreneurs do not make the same business as I did.

I switched from Computer Science to Accounting now because I need that financial intelligence, and I would still develop my IT consultancy firm and a team of experts, only this time, I would be more prepared.

Gplusvpn? Hmmm anyway I am one of the reseller olujimi metilelu and I think back then it was cool I asumed you made millions from it then. Some guys are still makking lots of money with vpn up till now

Holla at me if u r interested and I stay in benin too

importation is great and even more interesting when u sell on jumia, kongaand dealdey. If you are not in lagos company like http://mukabox.com.ng can help you do warehousing and dropoff of your product while you face your other business

harrysjones:

Exactly my idea too and since he is in benin he can use company like http://mukabox.com.ng to sell from anywhere in nigeria on jumia

is this still available. i prefer the one for 100k

Samtoby:
I doubt it but maybe it is.. here is the drug

this is erytromycin and it is not as powerful as amoksilav

Samtoby:
OP (Dab2mydick)

I kinda have something like this on my right ear, happened to me twice (like 10 years apart), last one was last year. Though mine was a pain in the ear, its like putting a heavy weight in the ear and as time goes by it gets worse. Though mine didn't block totally but I also hardly hear with the ear..

My mom gave me the same drug I use when it happened for the first time (I'm surprise she still remember), after using the drug, within 1 weeks it cure... I'd have give the drug name here but I don't know the name, I'll call my mom and help you ask.

Am very sure it is amosiklav (amocilline clavulanate)

I am partially deaf and I use that anytime I have hearing problem. Its the major recommended antibiotic for ear and am very sure that is what d doctore will recommend

Tmany:
All the OP listed are the current challenge of Market place in Nigeria and it will be good for the OP to also indicate the advantages.

Every bussines has its challenges, how you able to handle this challenge is what really matters.

Exactly my thought too

Reference:
When I got to point number 3 I stopped reading, seething with anger. The corrupt, evil, greedy, manipulative, insincere, lazy, selfish and sinister habit of the Nigerian vendor that keeps him from attaching prices to items on offer is now given a colourful title called USP. What kind of rubbish is this. You go to a typical foreign website and the prices of items are displayed clearly so you can make an informed decision. You go to a typical Nigerian website and everything is 'negotiable', even toothpaste and panties. Aircraft, supercars, nuclear powered submarines have their costs/prices displayed over there. Here the vendor will expect you to call him and haggle for everythjng under the sun so he can manipulate your thinking and cheat you out of your cash. Who has time for that bull. I call no one.

Nigerian vendors should work hard at getting value, getting the best prices for their customers by competition. In my profession I welcome competition because in the long run it makes me stronger and gives me the potential of getting ahead by inspiration and hard work. It is not enough to just travel out, buy stuff and seek to make a killing by exploiting the ignorance of the markets. Shoprite and the rest display prices and leave the haggling to their suppliers not their customers. The customer is not only right but must be saved of stress. This 'pepper and salt' market haggling mentality has no place in the 22nd century. No one has the time in this fast pace era and no matter how it is branded USP is not the future.

If I can browse a site in China and immediately get a quote for forward planning and purchase why should I be making unncessary, expensive, stressful phone calls to someone down the road to buy the same item. USP ko, UKIP ni.

Those are mostly done by classified site and not ecomerce. Ecomerce like jumia is best and they don't do such

I even write a post on my blog on how to open an account with them here http://olujimimetilelu.com/online-business/sell-on-jumia-com-ng/

Some of your point are true but that does not mean one should not sell on them, the sky is big enough for everyone to sell.

What you need is get the right product at the cheapest possible price and describe it the best way possible as well as be unique wwith your pictures and ur store and you will get sales above others.

If you want to sell sucessfully on them make sure to sell as a brand, sell on category or 2 or more closely related category and you wouldn't have problem with orders.

I sell on jumia and there are others dat sales same item I sell but still I get orders on same items daily.

As for payment, jumia remit payment weekly and they have improved in their returns and organisation as well as other things.

If you intend to sell with jumia then read this my post on how to sell with them http://olujimimetilelu.com/online-business/sell-on-jumia-com-ng/
