I know Google is available, but pictures speak louder than words to avoid confusion. Someone asking for a 44T truck for example could mean an articulated truck or a non-articulated truck. People might see a picture and instantly remember that they know someone with one. |
Absolutely. It is better to select a lucrative area where you get anough footfall to cover your expenses and make a profit than a cheap area where you can't make sales to cover your expenses not to talk of profit. This is why it is important to visit your proposed site, if possible eat in a restaurant and count the number of people who pass by during the time you're there. Then do your break even analysis and work out how long it will take you to break even. |
This is a great opportunity for someone who has drive but no capital, wanting to start from scratch this new year. @op: Can you post a pic of the sort of trucks you're looking for? |
A few questions: Do you want to sell books or are you wanting to provide users with an experience? If you just want to sell books, I think you should save your capital and don't get a shop. List your books on Konga.com and instead partner with same day logistics partners who will be able to deliver your books to your customers. The number of potential customers who will find you because they are looking for certain books online will far outnumber those who just happen to be walkijg by in front of your store. If you want to provide an experience or a peivate library, them you can invest in a place. Perhaps, a sound-proof, air-conditioned space (or container) where people know they can come and come and read in peace without disturbance. With this model, you can just charge people a monthly membership of something like N2,000 - N3,000 and advertise your space. The thing is that this sort of space could work anywhere - including a pre fab container.

Is this for a mould problem by any chance? I can get you 200 pieces for N12,000 (N60 each). Collection from Alaba int, Lagos. |
Great idea - as this is actually one of the few businesses which promote a healthier lifestyle. People are increasingly conscious about eating healthy, so this is a growing market. I'm guessing you're looking to grow something like Nuli. For your budget, I'm also guessing that you already have a space on a high-traffic area, and it probably isn't a very large space. Your ideal location is a crowded space with high foot traffic where people are in a buying mood, and where they are likely to get thirsty. Like a small stand in a shopping centre or a modern market. If my assumptions are right, and location is sorted, then you probably won't have enough for a relaxation area like Nuli. You probably need a set up where people can grab fresh smoothies/juices on the go. One of the things you have to think about is whether you will have space for a sink to wash/peel fruit or will you wash, peel and refrigerate them before taking them to your site? Basic equipment you will need (Please note that this is only an estimate, and doesn't use up your whole budget. There's some money left over for expenses you may not have thought about):- - Powerful juicer/blender (N90,000) (https://ogadiscount.com/product/ninja-11-piece-kitchen-system-with-nutri-ninja/) - Fridge (N140,000) (https://www.thermocool.com.ng/products/home-appliances/refrigerators/hrf-200-lux-refrigerator) - POS (Free through your bank)/Cash register (N90,000) (https:///product/quorion-cash-register-1616773) - Cupboard (N40,000) - Clear cups (N30,000) (https://www.amazon.com/TashiBox-Disposable-16-Plastic-Crystal/dp/B01HHQ40IC/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=bulk+plastic+cups+lid&qid=1577744240&sr=8-3) - Branded stickers (N10,000 for 200 stickers) https://printivo.com/category/stickers - Signage and menu (N100,000) signagekings.ng - Initial ingredients supply (N100,000) Total (N550,000) The rest for unforeseen expenses. It is possible - go forth and conquer 2020!

Sell by date is 24.12.19 and I noticed that Aptamil is N7,000 per tin. I have a few tins and they are quite heavy so I'm wondering if it is worth bringing them down for someone who can resell. Please advice!

Why don't you guys do research? There are credible companies that do this (like farmcrowdy) and they actually cover your money with insurance, so that if anything happens the insurance company pays back your investment. |
You're right to look in the jobs area - there's no demand. Why are you still considering it? This whould be an easy decision without emotional attachment. Find something with high demand, global scarcity of professionals and at the same price. A course like data science or AI. |
The Chinese counterparts should be able to sort out logistics, no? |
I need someone to attend an event 1 - 2 times a week in Satellite town or Ikeja, record the speaker and email the video files. This is not a full-time job, and no special skills or editing are required. If you are interested, please e-mail the cost of your time + equipment + transport to wentlion@googlemail.com Thanks |
The man did not lose the marriage, only the woman did? I'm confused ![]() |
The best thing you can do with your power is to invest in learning a digital skill that is: 1. In demand to the point where you will be sought after in Onitsha by the International community 2. That you can earn from while learning. The way to do this is to register as a freelancer and bid for jobs that pay you to practice the skills you have learnt. Like this guy who learnt a programming language called Laravel from his base in I think it's Akwa Ibom or so. He created lots of free YouTube tutorials and got a lot of positive feedback and tips on improving. He created a paid course on Udemy.com and priced it at £24.99. Last time I checked 5,797 students had purchased the course. That's £144,867 or N65m in the bank - without paying Lagos rent. Here's a link to the course so you can check and verify the number of students for yourself. https://www.udemy.com/laravel-55-full-course-build-a-world-class-web-project/ If you want to keep hustling and struggling for N100K here, N200K there then you can do what others are doing. If you want to earn big and make the world your market place, come out of your comfort zone and do things that people around you don't yet understand. |
Hafeexla:No problems. Apology accepted. |
Mastarbliss:I would suggest using Max.ng |
Hafeexla:I'm not a rich person and do not have "politician money" lying around. I leave my 2 young children (both under 4 years old) to work 12 hours a day to provide for my family, so excuse me if I cannot respond positively to every one of the hundreds of requests for funding that people throw at me. If occasionally my spirit leads me to help someone, I will try to. I am under no obligation to respond to your very rude message, but I responded anyway. I suggest that you stop looking for a helper and start looking for how you can help others. You have things that people you are looking up to for help, need but you don't know it yet. |
GabrielYulaw:bullshit. I'm offering to support the OP's business |
@OP Don't do it. I will give you a better option. Tell me about your business, and how you want to grow it and I will support you. Reply here for transparency. |
HazzanTazzan:What niche? |
Anabell2:I have to say to Anabelle: you are amazing. Thank you for being selfless in defending and giving your time for me, without expecting anything in return. I know you are a busy person, and you have a tasking job so I do appreciate it. Thank you so much for this! I really appreciate it. He replied my email and below is his email to me. Unfortunately, I have only just seen this because I’ve been working 12 hours a day every day this week.

ifyalways:To be honest, I knew there was a 50% chance it may have been a scam. I wasn’t looking to profit anything from the money. On the other hand, I was touched by the fact that N60K was all that was standing between someone and his dreams and I thought : “You know what, give it to him. It’s an amount I won’t miss if I lose it, and if he returns it, I will invest it in someone else”. That’s the end of my philanthropy experiment. Lol. Next time someone appears to be in need, close your eyes and walk away. It’s not what Jesus taught, but forget the churches on every corner - society is structured in such a way that we will never be like Jesus, following this society. All we want from God is what He can do for us Full Stop. |
karli4nia:Lol, we are still here o :-). Just not as regular as we used to be |
alasco1:I don’t plan on finding anyone on Nairaland again, but if he pays me back + if your business plan is solid, I will fund you. |
OCTAVO:Im still open to communicating with him, or offering assistance if required. |
This is not a househelp. This is her daughter |
Anabell2: Wow - thanks. The thing is that I’m not stung by this. I personally don’t think that N60K is enough money for someone to throw their credibility and opportunities away. I’m seriously looking for a tailor who can sew clothes for export, and I was hoping this guy was the real deal. In my head, if he can pay back the loan, then it means that he has access to customers who trust him and pay and I would be willing to do business with him in the long term. I was willing to offer him jobs worth 10x this amount. I just feel sorry for him that he thinks he is smart but may have just exchanged his birthright for a bowl of soup. I have learnt my lesson but won’t stop. The only thing is that Nairaland is probably not the best place to find people to work with, so I may have to try other avenues. I agree with you on the history of the site because when I joined back in 2005, it was very different and I made a lot of good reliable connections here. That crowd has moved on it seems. |
Slikbae:Thanks for your seuggestion. I’ve just tried within the last hour but no response yet. Let’s wait and see. |

They kept on Apologising and say i should thank naijacutee for her nice gestures .
