Man must survive, it's a cold world out there.


Find someone who is doing a business and making sales offline. You’ll find many of them in Onitsha, Computer village, Aba, Alaba, Aspamda, Idumota, etc.


Most of these people have no idea what goes on online. They also do not care what goes on online.


All they care about is making sales and getting money flowing into the business daily.


Be their online person.


Bring their business online, and advertise to those who want what they sell.


You will make money doing this.


You’ll make a lot of money doing this.


As a woman, you can open an online shop for that woman selling lace in Aba, and add money on top onto for yourself. That’s your own profit on every sale.


As a guy, you can open an online store store for that man selling computers at Computer village.


Read information from Google and publish content about computers and what people should look out for before buying a laptop.


More people would begin to reach out to you when need laptops.


Reach out to that guy who makes shoes and footwear in your neighborhood and be their online guy.


Promote what they make online and add your own profit.


Look around you, look where others are neglecting, you’ll find a gem.


You can’t afford to be idle for long.
You can’t afford to stay broke.
You can’t afford to continue earning 100k salary every month.


You don’t need to be a genius to make money online, and have a better life.


Look for a business that is offline, bring it online and get them SALES.


You will make a lot of money.


Not just money...


You will build your confidence.
Your influence will grow, and...
You’ll attract more opportunities to yourself.


You need to start operating smartly.


Look for a business that is offline, bring it online and get them SALES.

Thank me later when you hit your first M.

Now how do u do this. Is it pay on delivery for the online customers or what? And if it's pay on delivery,will the owner of the goods/shop owner just package his/her goods and waybill to the prospective online buyer without seeing his money first? Or u as the online marketer will pay for the goods,take Dem and send to the buyer in anticipation for the money. Pls explain me,am confused

Please nairalanders, advise me on this issue, I am thinking of a business to do but am confuse, I was thinking of opening a restaurant in a good location but my very good friend who is a bolt driver is advising me to buy a used Toyota car and register it under bolt and start driving.

I know every business has risks and reward, please what are the advantages and disadvantages of being a Uber or bolt driver, and is it that lucrative, please reply

Restaurant is risky. Perishables are not always profitable.
You can consider starting a POS business.
You will be seeing your money immediately, You can have multiple locations down the line and you employ staff for it.
You can be home monitoring their transactions on your phone. You supply them cash daily and balance them at the end of the day.
People under-estimate pos business. Just be in a good location with good traffic.

If you're in Lagos, do no, I repeat, do not go for Bolt. Just go for your restaurant business. Find a good busy location and set up there. Especially close to a bus stop or commercial area.

Work from 10am to 10pm, you're good.

But for Bolt/Uber, I won't advise anybody to go into that business if the person is based in Lagos state
Why because I have a Toyota Corolla and want to start?

[s]Prons and cons of Blogging

Good day , so my thread with the same topic created in 2017 with over 30k views and 500 comment was deleted due to some reason best know to NL and their mods , so I’m creating a new one here . Basically I would be highlighting the cost of creating a website/blog in Nigeria .



[Existing bloggers/website owners should drop their website for review , I will giving you tips on how to improve your traffic , how to get google adsense and how to earn more , also sharing some useful premium plugins with you , Before you drop your url , take out time to read this piece]


The world is revolving , everything is getting digitalized , having a website for your business can not be over emphasized ,
The today’s cost of creating a website ranging from E-commerce , Blog , real estate , VTU portal , Coperate , courier, multivendor , portals and many others in Nigeria is within the range of [30,000 - 500,000] .. Kindly contact us at Kennie tech today (www.kennietech.com.ng)

Before I proceed , do you need a business website , VTU , E-commerce , Real estate .. We can help you design whichever type of website you want to create , Just reach me via the number below my signature or +2347083946059

Blogging in Nigeria

Unlike every other business , Blogging is one of the most profitable business that the economy recession does not affect , NCC recorded over 105 million active Nigerian users on the internet , which means recession does not affect blogging , regardless of how broke Nigerians are , we will still visit the internet .
Just like every business once you lack proper understanding and strategy, you end up going the wrong way .. Before i continue I'm a Web consult | Business Strategist | Business consultant | Web developer | Web manager | CEO of Kennie Tech , get in touch with us via kennietech.com.ng

Okay , Let’s continue , You will Agree with me that we have many bloggers , over millions , but only few succeed , why ?? because they understand every necessary thing needed , Mind you , Blogging is just like any other offline Business, If you are not ready to spend & investment then I'm sorry to say "You might be one of the , I want to sell my blog" Type of bloggers.

I can not guarantee how much you will be earning per day, But I can assure you , you will recover back your initial capital within a short period of time depending on your plans ..

Analysis of how to monetize your blog

After creating a blog , make sure your design is perfect , create all the necessary pages like (about us , privacy policy , contact us , e.t.c) , Opt in for the following in monetization of your Blog

1) Google adsense
2) Affiliate marketing (Depending on your niche)
3) Member subscriptions

Now , you need to blog for money , that is why you must think in a way others are not . Think like it’s a business .

According to AdSense , Nigeria is one of the country with the lowest CPC , Nigerians are not really favoured when it comes to Adsense ..for every click on your adsense account from a Nigeria User you might end up earning ($$0.01 - 0.07) But talking of countries like USA , UK , south Africa , Canada .. You get as low as ($1 - $10) depending on your niche , keyword ,search visibility , i know you are getting confused , You can call me for better explanation +2347083946059

Now here is a strategy from me , oh before i forget "I'm Business Strategist | Business Consult , i can raise your dead business all you need to do is get ready to spend"

Be prepared to Spend on Ads , trust me with a Good strategist like me , you will always get high return in your earning from Ads , Many people just don't really understand how it should done that is why you end not getting the advert impression you wanted , I can help you in running Ads for desired countries, interest e.t.c and be rest assured to get double folds .. So , i can not disclose my strategy here , But a wise person should already get the concept of how you can earn over $50 from AdSense in a day ..

Imagine you have 5,000 Page view daily,
2500 from Nigeria , 2500 from Top country with High CPC from Adsense as a result of our Facebook ads and some other means lipsrsealed not disclosing
Imagine You have 100 clicks from Nigeria (Ctr 1% , CPC= 0.10)
Your total earning should be in the range of ($10 - $20)
Now having 50 clicks from Top country with high CPC (Ctr 1% CPC =$1- $2) that is ($50 -$100 ) Depending on your facebook ads Budget ... I hope somebody is smiling cheesy .. In a day you tend to earn over $60 - $70 provided , ($1800 - $2100) in a month , Now remove your adverts budget , web space fee , other payments , You should be left with at least $1000 as personal Gain ... Mind you , adsense is not the only way of monetizing your blog , But it is the major way ... Other forms of monetization include affiliate marketing , Offline adverts e.t.c , Get prepared to earn over $3000 in all ..

Here is a breakdown of how much you should be spend in setting up your standard Blog

1) Domain - Depending on your extension and country of purchase .. Either you opt in for a Nigerian Registrar or Foreign Domain Registrar , (Just like you know , Anything Nigeria is not always the Best Idea , but preferably they could be managed for a start) So , depending on your financially capability and how well you believe in this business, You can either choose between a Nigerian Registrar and Foreign Domain registrar ..
Talking of Foreign Registrar .Com ($10 - $15) depending on the registrar, I recommend www.Godaddy.com. you can check out their pricing list
Talking of Nigeria Registrar .Com (3500 - 4500) depending on the registrar as well , for Nigeria , i recommend www.whogohost.com
Now , after buying your domain , Congratulations , you are now a CEO grin,

2) Get a WordPress Hosting Plan , like stated above , you have to choose between a foreign Hosting registrar and Nigeria as well (For a Nigeria Hosting plan be prepared to experience downtime , your website might go off for couple of hours without any tangible reason) For a foreign Registrar I recommend www.bluehost.com ($2.5 -$7 per month) depending on your website purpose , I have over 10 websites with them and perfectly fine , for Nigeria , I recommended the same www.whogohost.com (400 -2500)

Incase you need a foreign host , I have a blue-host business pro shared hosting , I can help you host your website for 10,000 - 15,000 per year depending on what your website is about
I can also help you make payment for foreign transactions


3) Development & Design - After getting this two, approach any Good WordPress Develope like me grin , Trust me a professional wordpress designer (SEO optimized ,easy AdSense approval , Mobile friendly ) will charge you nothing less than (#30,000 - #250,000) Depending on what you want, But you can contact me for further details +2347083946059.. .


4) Get AdSense - Google Adsense is no doubt the most reliable and used monetization program , you can be rest assured that you are definitely getting paid for everything you earn . Getting google adsense might be tough which is why you need a very good developer that understand the concept like me

5) Extra ways to get income. -Register for some affiliate marketing programs , Employ Good Content writers and watch as your investment grows !! .. I hope i was able to inspire someone , Drop a review about Me here if this post was helpful

A boutique owner who opens his shop in the morning and close it in the evening might not need to stay awake all night like a restaurant owner who selects beans at night, cook beans, wash utensils after closing shop by midnight and starts cooking again by 4 a.m

Bolt as a beginner is not that lucrative my bro. Buying a car that runs into millions for bolt or uber and make 5k or more on weekdays excluding weekends. Then spend at least 20k or more weekly in maintaining it. Then the car will got damage and demand your total savings to repair it. Im yet yo see a single driver with bolt or uber that can tell me he had done the work for 3 yrs plus and he is satisfied with the outcome.
It looks lucrative when ypu just started it, but over time the car will start giving faults and then you will realize you had wasted your time and resources.
For me, i support you starting a business and builf it. Bolt/uber is never a way of making money. Is only good for surviving temporarily. Don't put your full capital in it, you will surely regret it at the end.
