This book is $500 or more on Amazon!!! What are you willing to give in exchange for someone who has it? |
Can I see your previous content? If they are good, I'd like to hire you to write around 10 articles. |
What 'financial activity' actually increases the value of the money? Do they trade stocks? Do they trade forex? Do they loan farmers and help them sell products? Is it for contract financing? Do they build properties with the money for outright sales? |
Thread locked as first post is useful, but 90% adverts |
Congratulations on finding out what works, and what people are willing to pay for. Keep going, don't give up! |

The reason there aren't too many billionnaires is that people who have broken into that level of earning have a completely different mindset. Nobody will make that sort of money copying others or doing the same things others are doing. That kind of money is made by networking (not just networking to beg, but networking to be of value to billionaires). |
stagger:Please report them when you see them and we will delete them |
The last 10 pages of this are Adverts, so thread moved to adverts section |
In these trying times, more people are visiting this section to look for solutions towards helping them survive financially. Some of you are not sure of the best way gain value from this section, so you keep posting spammy links, no one clicks and you post them again, no one clicks again... ad infinitum. What this does is that : 1. You waste your precious time and data - no one buys your products 2. Valuable posts that could help you are pushed down and are more difficult to find 3. It creates more work for the volunteers who use their free time they could be spending with their families to make this section work for you. A better way to earn money from this section: 1. After moderating this section for over 10 years, I have found that the biggest earners here earn money by creating value and sharing their knowledge - not by asking people to buy anything. It's a strange principle, but I see ut here. Those that temporarily forget their problems and focus on sharing valuable information - just to help others get money back in good measure, shaken together and running over. 2. If you are advertising something, please post it in the "Adverts" sub board where people go to lool for things. 3. If you are a business, looking for something that a business can provide, please post in the "Business to Business" sub board. Multi-million naira deals have been brokered there. 4. To delete annoying spam on this board, just put a link to it on this thread with [Spam] and it will be deleted with immediate effect and the poster banned. You now have the power to clean this place up. 5. If you find a great post that you gained value from, post it here saying [Value] and we will consider it for the top of the board. If you highlight any adverts or self promotion, we are smart enough to recognise that, delete and ban you. The biggest principle of money I have learnt is that when you are chasing it, it is elusive. When you stop chasing money and start trying to help others, money begins to pursue you left, right and centre. Those that take action on this will testify. No fasting, no prayer, just putting other people's needs before yours. Let us start by making this place valuable. Thanks |

Well done for doing something positive with the time! |
Blakewilli:How about someone pulls a heist on you and takes you down to zero. Would that be ok? |
karli4nia:I don't sell any teaching courses or books because there are already enough out there. It's best to just stick to one thing and focus on it, with the knowledge that if it's difficult to start, it is probably genuine. I freelance on Upwork, and it is straightforward. Register for an account direct. There are very good threads here that features people who make a lot more than I do. Take the time to go through the threads - there's a lot to learn, but like I said it is genuine, so the road isn't too smooth. Good luck! |
karli4nia:Lol, I'm not as cool as some of you. I've only been locked down for a week so haven't had the opportunities you've had. Less than $300 ![]()

missimelda01:Ankara was used as an example but the CDC advices to use tightly woven cotton i.e cotton material that is woven tightly together. |
I'm sure someone who could have been begging can hook this guy up with a truck owner and make more money than could have been ever dashed to him/her! |
This is an opportunity for someone to make money with nothing. Connect this person to a store and earn a commission. Instead of begging to eat, why are more people not thinking of ideas like these? |
Sell what people are desperate for. I've just analysed a simple business that someone can start with N4,000 and make a steady income. It involves hard work, but that's proof. https://www.nairaland.com/5808648/business-analysis-making-30-face |
I wrote this to prove that you can start a business with little money, because so many people are begging and others are trying to sign everyone up to one course or the other. Making money is easy - just sell what people are looking for - that's it! How much can you sell masks for? A quick search on reveals that reusable face masks sell for between ₦200 - ₦1,000 each. How much can you make masks for? If ankara cloth costs ₦350 per yard (approximately 36 x 51 inches), and each mask requires 2 x 6 by 10 inches to make, then each yard of cloth would probably produce 25 - 30 masks. This is approximately ₦30 per mask minus labour, thread and other materials - all of which we will cover in a little while. Will people still buy masks in a month? According to Google, more people in Nigeria have searched for face masks since March 22 than since the beginning of the year (see the attachment). Can you guess why? And the dotted line at the end tells us that even more people are likely to search for face masks in the future. How to make face masks Because I am not an expert, I am referring to the CDC (American Center for Disease Control and Prevention) for advice on this. What you will need: Sewing machine (₦24,000) or sewing kit (₦1,500) Elastic for sewing (₦400) 1 yard of cloth (₦350) Scissors (₦200) Tape (₦200) Pack of sealable plastic bags - ₦1,000 Total capital - ₦3,650 (without sewing machine) or ₦26,150 (with sewing machine) Step 1: Cut out two pieces of cloth, each 10 inches by 6 inches. Put one piece on top of the other - you will sew the mask like it was a single piece of cloth. Step 2: Fold the long sides and stitch together. Then on the short side, fold the double layer of fabric over and stitch together, leaving a gap for the elastic. Step 3: Run your elastic through the gap on each side of the mask. These will be the ear loops. You can use a large needle or a bobby pin to thread it through, then tie both ends. If you cannot find elastic, you can improvise with strings. Step 4: Pull on the elastic to make sure that the knots are inside the hem. Bunch the sides of the mask together and ensure that it fits the face. Then stitch the elastic in place to make sure it doesn't slip. Step 5: Pack masks in bags - packs of 5, for example. How to market your masks online Once you have created your first 30 masks, you will need to take photographs to market your product. Take photographs of you wearing the masks to show how they fit, and also take photographs of the masks in the bags to show customers what they are likely to get. It's time to pound the streets and advertise your masks on every online channel you can get. If your customers are there, you want your products in front of them. Share photos on your Facebook page, Instagram, Twitter, Nairaland, , Konga, Jumia or even start a Youtube channel helping people stay safe during this time. Don't pay for advertising just yet - see what feedback you get and whether there are any improvements to consider. Pricing is up to you, but if you don't have a sewing machine, it makes sense to price your masks in a way that reflects your labour costs. On the other hand, you will produce faster with a sewing machine and it will take a bit longer to break even. But if you're really struggling, maybe the best strategy is not to invest in a sewing machine until you have proven that you can sell the product and there is a demand for your products? Bear in mind that your estimated costs of production based on 30 pieces: With sewing machine - ₦871 per piece Without sewing machine - ₦131 per piece Try to advertise packs of 5 at ₦5,000 including delivery within your local area and see if that works. With a high margin, you have room to negotiate discounts. This is a great business to help you take your mind off the negative things going on in the world, while actually contributing towards a solution. If you see anything wrong with this, please highlight it! Here's the full post with images: https://www.mrpepe.com/feature/how-to-make-money-selling-face-masks/
