Why CeeCee again... Her haters will say ��

Well with all those big brother reunion videos taking space in my explore section what could I do... .

And we all know attention is King when growing a business

Out of sight is out of mind... Especially in this digital era where the competition is crazieeeee

Here are the lesson we can learn from her brand.

First, she is bold. She doesn't shy away from expressing where she stands and her views.

As a business owner, you've to be bold and know your ideal customer. You can't please everybody, you are not jollof rice.

Second, she picks Naira over drama. In the re-union, she clearly made peace and stated she doesn't mind doing a collaboration with any of the housemates if it led to more Naira.

As an entrepreneur you must be willing to collaborate and set aside petty issues for the greater gain

Business / Sales Tip Of The Day by Novak(m): 9:25am On Mar 27, 2019
Are you making progress with sales online or just wasting data? ��

Let me explain.

Making sales is NOT about using "trendy tactics" to trick people into buying.

It's about making your prospect feel understood. Show them you know what problems they're experiencing, and you know WHY they're having those problems.

Whether you're into fashion, e-commerce, skincare, beauty, food etc. Know what your ideal customer wants and show them how to solve it through buying from you.

If you can do that, selling them becomes rather easy.

Business / Read This If You Want To Sell A Product Or Service Online by Novak(m): 3:52pm On Mar 19, 2019
Once upon a time, I used to be the person that was clueless on selling online.

I would barely make enough sales to feed myself and family. It was until I knew the following below I started seeing nice results.

Here are ten laws.

1. Have an up-to-date buyer persona for your product. (Name, age, lifestyle, income range, interests of your customer)

2. Know the business plan for your product and have a measurable go-to-market plan for it.

3. Know how customers are using your product.

4. Know where your product’s customers and users are coming from.

5. Know your product’s revenue targets and progress toward those targets.

6. Know who sells your product.

7.Ensure sales, partners, field marketers and others can successfully evangelize for your product with accurate and up-to-date sales tools.

8. Know your product’s top three competitors and be able to explain how your product is different.

9. Know who the key analysts and market influencers are and how they position your product in the market.

This is the difference between making or not making sales.

Business / Most Profitable Business by Novak(m): 9:33am On Mar 19, 2019
Ever been confused on what products or service to push with so much information out there?

Seriously it can be "tayarin"...

Don't worry in a few minutes you will overthink no more.

Back to the question, the best products sell more life.

Status. Money. Adventure. Happiness.

At the end of the day, more life is what we want.

So how can we sell more life?

Simple.

Look at the other things your product sells.

For example, I have a client that sells skincare products.

When I create content I don't just sell having a flawless, light or spotless skin.

I sell happiness, confidence, envy among other girls, getting more attention from more men.

Forget about products and services totally.

Who cares.

Don't get caught in the latest trendy product, or moving item.

Any product or service can sell.

All you need to think about is how you can sell more life.

Stop and think about this.

Does anyone pay for their DSTV subscription to make DSTV happy?

CAPITAL NO.

We pay because we want relaxation, fun, social setting for guests and more.

Does Cocacola sell sugared water?

No, they sell happiness.

What about Apple... Are they selling just a phone for making calls or laptop to save files in?

No.

They sell Status. From their packaging alone, you will believe them.

Or is Shoprite selling products or food stuffs?

No.

They are selling a place to take pictures, hangout with friends, relaxation, prestige, even a dating spot.

So next time you want to create that advert, content, product post or get into a new business think about this.

Risk Management is the magic bullet of trading.

Investment / How To Create Wealth And Always Win by Novak(m): 4:04pm On Aug 08, 2018
Want to know how to take control of your finance and life?

Then follow these three steps.

(1) Identify your "why"

Why do you want financial independence? What would you do with that freedom? How would you spend your time? Let the answers to these questions drive your entire financial journey.

(2) Increase your income

Learn how to ask for promotions, negotiate salary increases, and job hop when necessary. Use side hustles if necessary. Read, network, and observe people who earn more than you. Be a knowledge sponge. Hard work matters more than talent.

(3) Invest your savings.

Accumulate assets (forex trading, side hustles, real estate) that pay you money over time. Avoid liabilities - things that suck money and have no long term value. Lastly, be patient. Never interrupt compound interest unnecessarily.

All this will lead to you being in charge of your finance.

Investment / Making Consistent Profits With Forex Trading by Novak(m): 2:15pm On Aug 06, 2018
Everyone already knows by now that Forex is not a get rich quick scheme.

But it's a nice platform to compound your capital in a guaranteed and steady way.

As long as a proper strategy and risk management is in place.

Well instead of letting you do all the hard work why don't I do it for you while you focus on other hustles.

Your money stays in your forex account while we trade for you.

So here's how it works:

1. First we draw up a target amount of profit.

2. Then we make the profit at a stipulated period of time.

3. Then we get paid 50% of the profit.

4. We create a long term relationship with you and continue the process.

It's not private we can live stream our meeting on Facebook, and Instagram. The essence of networking online is to meet in real life.
Fxmanager:
You came to a public forum to offer your account management service. We became interested and request for a trading track record from myfxbook, you then decide to invite us for a private trading contest. It is ironic that you offer an account management service to members of this public forum, and we called you out for a public trading contest in the same forum, to prove your successful trading ability, but you prefer a private trading contest in Lagos, away from the eyes of the very people that you are looking to manage their accounts.

You said that you want to bring some pride to the profession. Is it by refusing to provide your verified trading track record from myfxbook? Or is it by running away from a public contest with us? We rest our case.

So Microsoft owned by Bill Gates and other companies owned by Dangote or Otedola do not release, publicly their quarterly and Annual financial statement/report, to be analyzed by investors before they decide to buy their shares. Please don't put up these kind of argument in a public forum, to avoid embarrassing yourself.
You're still here? Your boss isn't happy for not spamming today. The difference with me is I'm not begging anyone to do any business with me, since short sightedness is doing you read my post again. I put out my pitch of free signals and left it at that. If your company was that big and good you will be doing Facebook, YouTube and Nairaland ads to promote it for your boss instead of spending all your life on earth on Nairaland spamming left and right. Besides why am I even replying you, I called you out and you couldn't back up your talk so gerrarahere desperate bum.

Desperate dude, you keep commenting on the romance, business and other sections fighting and spamming people about your business all day. Go and ask Bill Gates, Dangote or Otedola to show you their monthly bank account statements as criteria to do business with them. Better work on that poverty stricken mindset of yours... As they say action speaks louder than words, I offered free signals to people and no one is complaining. Now get off this thread and resume your job of spamming up and down.

Novice traders like you blow up people accounts, and make people to believe that foreign exchange trading is risky, and thereby becoming scared to invest in genuine experience professionals. How many years of experience do you have in online foreign exchange trading? Can you provide an myfxbook verified track record to back up your claim as a consistent profitable trader? Stop giving this profession a bad name and image in the minds of people/potential investors.

Oya you that's the professional since your style of getting clients is to comment on other people's thread and hate on them, let's meet in any Forex brokers office in Lagos and do a trade off from now till December... Winner takes all. I hate online trolls, let's see one on one. You're just one broke and jealous bum. I'm ready when you're ready, you will learn to start respecting your trading elders.

Investment / The Exact Forex Strategy That Brings In Profits by Novak(m): 11:05am On Jun 23, 2018
Before I show you how...

Let's discuss on the current state of Forex trading.

It's very, very sad. Here's what I mean...

The highly esteemed profession of Forex trading has been dragged through the dirty gutters because of scammers who want to make a quick buck by playing on people's desire to make a living and better life for themselves.

Well, it pains me too. That's why I hope what I'm about to show you can bring some pride to the profession.

Now, this is very important.

Forex is not a get rich quick venture, it's a get rich profession.

If you don't have money you can afford to lose or you're starving, please solve that first before venturing into Forex.

Now, here's the good part.

If you actually want a venture where you can invest and make money by the side, without spending much time then Forex is for you.

I actually don't spend more than 30 minutes a day.

A myth many Forex traders have is that you have to spend lots of time but that is false.

Now, here is what I'm offering.

If you're an investor, I will be giving you FREE signals for the duration of between one to two months to show you that Forex trading actually gives nice profits.

This way, you have nothing to lose. After that, you can now decide if you want my trading training or account management service.

I know that nothing happens overnight in trading, the same with trust, and that's why I'm offering this.

So, if you're ready for this chance of building an additional source of income, Whatsapp me on 08060453719 with the subject "Additional source of income".

Cheers.
Investment / The Real Cost Of Not Investing by Novak(m): 11:45am On Jun 18, 2018
Many people frown at the thought of starting a new business or learning a skill.

Some may have been scammed in the past or lost money in a business venture.

But you've to realize there is a side effect to every decision. Even if the decision is to do nothing.

Almost nobody ask themselves; What's the COST of my beliefs?

I don't believe in having monthly goals. What does that cost me? (No motivation to improve).

I believe in not taking good care of my body. What does that cost me? (Low energy, low confidence and more)

I don't believe in investing in the Forex market. What does that cost me? (N1million - N100 million).

Try it.

"I believe..."

"That belief cost me..."

It's hard when starting but it gets easier.

Always remember this; there are always two sides to a coin.

Investment / How To Avoid Losing Money As A Trader And Growing Your Account Consistently by Novak(m): 8:07am On Jun 15, 2018
Do you see people that claim they only make profits when trading Forex and never show their losses?

Well, they are scammers.

Real traders win and lose. The only difference is that they win big and lose small.

However...

To become profitable trading, there are two things required.

1. Mindset 2. Strategy

If your Mindset isn't right, if you expect to only make profits every single day with no discipline, no trading routine, trading plan or journal to help you analyze your trades then you won't last long in the forex market.

That's why many traders come and go.

I remember trading for a client and as soon as we were in profit he would want to close the trades. Funny enough, those trades would end up doing double of what we initially made.

The second thing required is your strategy.

You can have the right mindset but if your strategy isn't working, your capital won't last long.

A good strategy should be able to win at least 60% of the time.

When you add that with proper risk management you should be in consistent profits.

Every single time.

Many people enter Forex trading without mastering the fundamentals and later cry that it doesn't work.

We all know what happens to houses built without a solid foundation.

In this case, they end up blowing up their accounts.

Well, if you want to master these foundations and set yourself up for consistent profits, get my free training.

I would be giving free signals for a month to the first 10 people that respond to prove that I practice what I preach.

Add me on Telegram or Whatsapp (08060453719) with the subject "Profitable trading"

Cheers!

Romance / Mysteries Of Bella Episode 1 by Novak(m): 2:04pm On Feb 05, 2018
Alarmed, I stared at him. A part of me knew this feeling of attraction, a part of me denied it.

I think he read my mind, because he stared back… deeper than I did… Fiercer, too.

What went on in his mind? Was it the waves again? Had I been found out?

I felt his firm hand as we shook, quite big, they swallowed mine. Still speechless I gathered courage to give a professional smile. He only continued to stare, his face expressionless, we stopped shaking hands but he still held on to my almost trembling one. I adjusted as if to signal I was getting bored and ready to leave. That was when he  said… “Hope to have a good working relationship with you, don’t let me down. Do have a pleasant day.’’ I started to reply, but suddenly my throat went dry. ‘Just what I needed!‘ I thought to myself rolling my eyes. ”Thank you. Have a pleasant day too.” I said loudly, almost too loudly. Then he gave a grin, I knew that grin… mischievous, almost devilish. As I walked out of his sight, I could still feel his eyes on me; I only prayed I didn’t trip.

The journey down the elevator was long, and claustrophobic. I just wanted to get some air, I wanted to get away. He had sensed my nervousness…how could my feelings have betrayed me? There was I thinking I had it all together. So much for the composed independent woman. He had been formal, as if to maintain that official outlook.

Finally, the elevator swung open and I opted out, heading to where my car was parked. My good old car! At last! Ready to get in and leave the premises… Out! Out! Out! I reached for my bag to get my keys… only that my bag wasn’t on my shoulder. I looked at my hands, only files.

Then it hit me, I left my bag on the chair, in his office.

Just what I needed! Making a complete fool of myself, now he would think I purposely forgot my bag so I could come back.‘’Bella, very clumsy woman you are!’’ I bit my lips. Like a robot I turned back and started back to the building. Shoulders dropped; I walked to the elevator and started the journey back, only this time, I was not going into air… Not running away, but running into. I got past protocol. He opened at the first tap on the door, my bag in his hand, his eyes on mine, he smiled ‘’11 minutes!’’. I frowned… what did he mean, and why in heaven’s name was he this close? As if to read my mind, he addressed the second question and took a few steps back but not before he gave me my brown Chanel leather bag which had become heavy in my own hands. Was he dismissing me? Well, I wasn’t ready to go just yet… Not until I knew what he meant by 11 minutes!

I stepped forward, “What do you mean by 11 minutes?” He was already walking away when he turned back, walked past me and closed the door.

He came to me looked down and said, “Took you eleven minutes to get back here. I thought it would take you less than that”.

He was so close; I could feel him breathing down. He grinned again, this time fully and the grin broke into a smile. He looked deeply into my eyes and held my gaze for what seemed like forever. Right there I knew he would kiss me. My lips went dry, and I looked back at him. I didn’t smile back. I had frozen.

And so, I closed my eyes and prepared my body not to explode when he eventually kissed me. My stomach turned and I prayed silently that he won’t hear the rumblings, this moment could as well be perfect. My knees were weak, and I almost told my heart to be quiet so he won’t hear the clapping and drumming that was constituting my heartbeat…

The world stood still, I thought of nothing else, only that kiss and waited… waited… waited! Did he always take so long to prepare for a goddamn kiss?

I opened my eyes only to see him pouring himself some juice by the Thermocool fridge by his desk… “Don’t mind my Einstein mind,” he chuckled. “When I saw your bag after you left, I nudged myself to time how long it would take you to get back here. My hunch said 10, but you made it in 11, I am hardly wrong. You must have walked slowly.”

He gulped his juice. I gulped my pride.

I said nothing and stormed out. This time my bag was in my hand…

A week later………

As I watched his lips move, my stomach churned with my gaze still fixed on my 24-inch LG plasma TV which hung on my wall. It displayed the headlines in bold captions that made me realize I must have been very silly.

I threw myself on the floor and let out a laugh. It came from the depths of my belly. I didn’t stop until I’d tasted the salt that came from my own tears. Oh! I must have laughed so hard.

Here he was, on the headline news, getting famous, getting rich… getting married! I blinked.

Missy crawled up to me. My poor cat had stayed back and watched me from a distance, half-licking her paws, half contemplating. She seemed to wonder why she wasn’t invited to the little party in her owner’s world until she decided to crash it. She curled, looked into the eyes of her companion of 10 months and meowed.

“That you could think Jeremiah wasn’t involved with a woman is extremely bold!” I said to myself. I got up and headed for the fridge. Missy would be hungry by now… poor cat. I opened it to be greeted by an almost empty fridge. I needed to visit the stores. Missy wagged her tail and ran to her bowl which she trusted to be full in no time. She lapped up her milk quickly, her white fluffy body glowing in excitement. She always loved breakfast. I watched in amusement, I envied my cat. What I would give to joggle in excitement this way!

I turned off the TV. I cannot control seeing Jeremiah Young at board meetings or conferences, but I can control not seeing his face on my own TV! The young celebrity can go right ahead and enjoy all the attention in the world. I would enjoy the comfort of my own duvet. After all, I had stayed up working all night to get his job done because he needed it in the mail as dawn broke. A Sunday morning! Who does that?

I woke up to the sound of my ring tone. I had hoped the caller would give up at the second ring, however on the third, I reached out for it “This had better be good!!” I said under my breath, frowning until I saw the caller ID. My heart raced, swallowing, I picked up Jeremiah’s call.

He didn’t wait for a hello… “Isabella, my apologies for calling at this time, my fiancee’s family is organizing an engagement party this evening. Word got out to some of my associates who will be attending. I just got informed that an investor will be in attendance. He is looking at the possibility of investing in the SMG Project which you have been actively involved in. I believe he isn’t coming to socialize or congratulate me but to observe the competence of me and my team even under the influence of wine. Anyway, you are my legal counsel and a member of my team in whose opinion I trust. I expect you to be in attendance… I want you to meet with him.”

Is this a dream? Scratch that… is this a nightmare? Jeremiah Young was inviting me to his engagement party! Just a couple of hours ago, my TV informed he just got engaged and now I am asked to attend his engagement party. I opted to pinch myself to confirm if all these was real but Missy did me the honour of licking my nose… finally I found my voice. “Jeremiah, surely we could set up a meeting with this new investor at a more convenient time. This is impromptu and I have plans for this evening. I apologize, I won’t be available to attend”. I prayed my lie wasn’t detected, thankful that he couldn’t hear my heart beating twice as fast. My best friend always said I was a terrible liar. Even right now, I could have sworn I heard Missy clear her throat at my lie. Cats don’t clear their throats, do they?

‘’Mr. Rodriquez isn’t from around here. Rumor has it he will be leaving for his country in three days. A member of my board invited him to my engagement party knowing very well he may not be available in this country in the next two months. He is willing to continue the association when he returns to Spain if he is impressed. It wasn’t easy getting him to honour this invitation as this man is a hard nut to crack. There was too much work done getting him to agree to attend. This is too risky, I need this deal and I won’t lose it simply because you have pllaannsss.”

He dragged the ‘plans’ in sarcasm. Was he mocking me? He continued sardonically “Well attend to your plans, that’s why I have got backup legal counsel, I’d ask one to call you for briefing”. He hung up.

I blinked. Did he just fire me? Is he out of his goddamn mind? Should I not have my life simply because Jeremiah Young owned the world? As if to agree, Missy licked my nose again.

I closed my eyes; I can’t afford to be fired because of baseless ego and pride. Truth be told, Jeremiah was one of my major clients and I was not prepared to lose this opportunity. So if Jeremiah young wants me to come face to face with his fiancée, smile and crack a business deal that would cost millions and fetch me a fair share, why not?

I picked up my phone, dialed his number… He picked at the first ring as if he was waiting by the phone. “I can cancel my plans, if this investor would be at your engagement party tonight, why shouldn’t I?”

He seemed to chuckle, I sensed the triumph in his voice “I thought you’d say that, contact my PA for the invite, be there at seven.” He hung up.

“Proud arrogant bastard,” Missy looked at me disapprovingly.

What?! I said, defensively. Sometimes Missy acted as though she were my accountability partner. I frowned. I had no idea what to wear.

Two hours later found me searching through my closet, throwing everything I had all out. By now, my room was in a state of limbo. Who was I trying to impress by wanting to look nice? Certainly not Jeremiah. Maybe Mr. Rodriquez. I laughed at the thought. I kept digging and thought I heard the door bell. Well, everyone should be in church, shouldn’t they? I immediately felt guilty, shouldn’t I too?

Well, whoever was there should have called; I wasn’t in the mood to entertain even Donald Trump himself. I expected that after a while the person would give up and leave but my unexpected guest continued as if to know I was home. Does his or her life depend on this? I gave up and decided to satisfy my curiosity.

“Curiosity kills the cat, Missy.” I laughed at Missy as she followed my trail. As if to hear me, she frowned and continued to catwalk, her strides more deliberate, making a curve with her tail. Shaking my head, I wondered who was more proud, she or Jeremiah Young.

It was a delivery for me.

After my persistent delivery man had left, I looked into the note enclosed in an envelope. “Isabella, look like this!” it read. I could recognize the handwriting in my dreams. I looked at the package placed on my table and looked at the note again.

Jeremiah Young had sent me an outfit.

And I was about to give him the shocker of his life.

To be continued…

Business / 6 Steps To Increase Sales In Your Business by Novak(m): 8:09am On Aug 03, 2017
Everyone is involved in sales, whether you’re an entrepreneur or an employee. Even if your job description doesn’t have “sales” in it, you need to understand that you and everyone else is in sales from the moment the day starts.

As an entrepreneur if you don’t know how to sell you aren’t making money, that’s it!

I once sucked at selling because I didn’t have a detailed approach to it. So today I want you to have a specific approach towards it.

Here are the following steps:

STEP 1: PROSPECTING

The general misconception is that prospecting is just going out there and looking for customers or clients.

In reality prospecting is about having multiple ways of approaching customers.

There are 4 types of prospecting

a) Social media prospecting: This involves utilising Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Google, Nairaland Ads, utilizing ads on major platforms to attract prospects and get their contact details.

b) Networking events: Going to events in the sector you are targeting, also utilizing networking sites like MeetUp.com and more.

c) Cold market prospecting: Approaching strangers randomly and building up a relationship with them. It can be through calls, emails or physical approach.

This may look like getting outside your comfort zone but it’s very effective, you just have to be disciplined with it.

d) People that your people know: They can include referrals.

STEP 2: APPROACH & CONTACT

This is how you approach prospects via emails, phone or social media.

You must have a script in place, people hate having a script but it’s vital. It helps save you time and puts everything in order.

It would help you know what works, what doesn’t and the time you spend on each person.

You can also add your personality to it.

STEP 3: PRESENTATION

It’s easy but you must be very careful. Everyone can present but at the end of the day the results will day.

What are the common mistakes when making presentation?

a) Talking for too long

b) Not asking enough questions: Questions like “how do you feel about this”, “what do you think about that” etc can go a long way in making the sale.

c) Not knowing your product: You have to know everything about your product, your prospect will get discouraged at any sign of uncertainty.

d) Not looking at things from the customers perspective: Always think from the customers perspective.

STEP 4: FOLLOW UP

The money is in the follow up. Following up with prospects involved having discipline and paying attention to details.

The solution to this is asking: When would be the best time to get a feedback from you.

I have made sales after the 7th to 10th follow up.

You have to remove your ego and realize that you’re serving your company. If you look at it from that perspective you won’t mind making a sale after the 20th follow up.

STEP 5: REFERRAL

Some people leave money on the table by not asking for the referral.

Referrals may look minor but imagine having 500 customers and having all of them give you 2 referrals each, 1000 new customers isn’t small. It’s a big deal!

Always have a strategy for referrals.

STEP 6: MAINTAIN CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS

This may sound boring but it’s very important. Constantly looking for new customers can sound exciting but maintaining and giving existing customers a great experience will work wonders for your business.

You can give them office branded items as gift, call them on their birthdays and lots more.

Business / 9 Great Reasons Why You Should Never Give Up by Novak(m): 3:15pm On Aug 02, 2017
Some of the best entrepreneurs, athletes and minds are people we don’t know about because at one point they gave up.

The cycle of going from good to great is extremely stressful and challenging but the final product is priceless.

Here are 9 reasons why you should never give up.

1. It’s very easy to find a reason to quit.

No matter how good or bad your life or business is going, you can easily find an excuse to give up.

It works the other way too. If you look for a reason to keep going, you will find that.

2. Action speaks louder than words.

In the end no matter what you say, people will watch what you do.

Your friends and family might console you, but you will always have that straight forward cousin or friend that will always remind you of quitting.

3. Some might not be open about it but unfortunately many people you will know will hope for you to give up.

The major reason is that your dedication to your goal will remind them of their own unrealized potential.

4. You can never know what would have happened if you stayed dedicated to your goal.

When it’s all said and done, there are times you would ask yourself what would have happened if you were a better father, son, if you maximized your time better, if you were hardworking and so on.

While many people won’t think of this now the reality is that the clock is always ticking, the time will always come when we reflect on this.

5. When you quit, you set a habit of quitting.

Think about a person who decided not to follow up with a client, approach a lady he wanted to talk to or make a call to a prospect.

Their belief in their ability to perform those tasks is actually diminished by each abandoned attempt. Quitting and perseverance are both habits.

Which habit do you want to develop?

6. Anything worthwhile takes time and effort.

The more difficult the task, the more rewarding the victory.

Great things don’t come quickly…

Having a nice six abs, growing your business to 7/8 figures takes time.

No one sees how many hours you work, the time you out in, calls you make and lots more.

But…

That’s the same for those who aren’t putting in the effort, no one sees you’re watching game of thrones all day, no one sees you’re chatting all day or reading all the gossip blogs.

Only the results will see it at the end.

7. You’re a lot closer than you think you are.

Unfortunately, many people quit without knowing that success is just right around the corner.

8. The process molds you before success rewards you.

You can make money and lose it.

You can have a nice, well furnished house one day and lose it the next day.

But…

Who you become in the process of gaining your house or building your business can never be taken from you.

Sticking with goals will stretch you, instill hard work and perseverance and will end up building up a strong belief and self confidence within you.

9. Life is better lived when you’re in the pursuit of something.

When you’re fighting for a dream, goal or something great you will find the passion, energy and joy that would make your life a lot more fun.

I hope it helps, make sure you speak your mind in the comment section. Don’t give up on that grin

Investment / Re: What Buisness Can I Start With 500k And Gain 100-150k Monthly by Novak(m): 12:50pm On Aug 02, 2017
Don't set a limit for yourself, you can definitely earn above that and keep growing.

There are various industries you can get started in, whether it's ecommerce, having a local business or a service oriented business.

I run an advertising agency and I know that there is a large market online, as long as the product or service is adding value and has demand then not only would you make profit but you can keep expanding and taking it to the next level.

Cheers!
