Making money online is revolutionary. The internet is said to be the next place to find generational millionaires. I can't agree more with the saying that if your business is not online it's probably offline.

The precepts to making money online has been:

Brainstorm a great idea: many people get it wrong here. All they can think of is a forum or a blog. come off that!

There are better grounds yet unexplored, and that is what I'll be covering in this write-up.

The early risers are always lucky, in that they started early, Linda is being blogging for more than 7 years and Seun has been unto this great platform since 2005 if am not mistaken, that's their leverage. They saw it coming and they act fast. I hope you act fast on this too.

No matter where you work if you're not making money in your sleep you're not yet financially free.



what type of business can you really start online?

Bill Gate in 1996 once published an article where he stated that "content is king". Content does not necessarily mean starting a blog and effortless struggling to write a 100 article in 30 days.

Content in his context means a great idea.

Seun has his own idea in a forum, Linda has hers in a blog, Zuckerberg has his in social media,

if you take a deep introspection, you come to find out something applicable to all of this people; and that is the fact that they find something interesting to engage you and I If not the world.

The heart of my message is that you need to retract you ideas. you can do well in any type of online business, if you're ready to commit the effort to learn something new and deliver something creative.

Where to source for good business ideas?

unfortunately many Nigerians still think its a luck for some few people to have been making money online.

Some even tell you it's their destiny forgetting that our destiny is what we choose to make it.

All you need here is a strong determination, you need to talk it out loud that you can do it.

Have you ever find out about the websites that made the internet and the ideas around them?

Have you ever find out about few of those making money online And how they get started?

Have you ever find out with Alexa the first 500 websites ranking on its radar and the brilliant ideas that keep those website running?

Have you ever find out what your interests are and how related it is to the internet world ?

These are some of the questions you need to find real answers to. It's unwise jumping into a business simply because Mr A is making it from the business.

To get started, I need to make it clear some of the few reasons you need to start a business online:

1. Technology is advancing; it's hijacking the classroom learning, traditional means of buying and selling, traditional ways of doing business and meeting people. Its the future and the best you can do is to embrace it

2. You know something, sincerely everybody is good at something; this is the best platform to bring out that genius in you, you're better seen and heard here.

3. Don't you think it's the age of useless university education where the people with common sense ( entrepreneurs like Larry page of Google and mark Zuckerberg of Facebook) gets to control the people with the big brains ( scientist, engineers etc)?


UP NEXT: LETS GET ON TO REAL BUSINESS

If you're not Dangote I wonder Where else you can make make money without working for months.

The genesis of all online business is starting a website. A website that matters.

You can't do the work alone, you need to leverage and engage your visitors to be a part of what you started just as we're doing here at NL. There are several untapped ideas, all you need to do is silently listen to your heart.

However here are some few ideas that can give you a hint;


Starting a blog is always cool.

A site like Facebook repurposed for Africa or even Nigeria on a shoestring budget.

Jack ma is one of the richest men in China and Alibaba made him. How about creating an online B2B platform like alibaba for Nigeria or Africa.

Another awesome And brilliant idea is starting a biography websites for all influencial Nigerians or Africans. You write their biographies and recognize them as influentuals. There are influential across all fields of profession ranging from academicians to traders, Lawyers, footballers , etc.

your effort can be appreciated with donations from these influential people.

How about a website dedicated for campus questions and answers?

How about a website for a campus marketplace for campus students to find share, buy, sell within their own campus.

.How about a political platform anonymously to facilitate interactivity with our leaders


A classified websites like Jiji, olx etc


More ideas to come!

Keep it c0m1ng

Starting this types of online businesses doesn't have to be costly, I earlier said that you can start these type of online business on a shoestring budget of 15k to 20k depending on the nature of the website. All that matters is your idea, a reliable web hosting Provider, and you readiness to give it what it takes.


Webmasters in this part of the world can make things tougher, and if care is not taken it can take forever to make anything out of your online business. You need not be a programmer or coder to start these types of online business all that matters is the basic. If you can handle well microsoft office tool, then you should be able to do this yourself, moreso, there are tons of online tutorials to keep you going.

The best way to make money Online is blogging., but
there are very critical aspect of it you need to
understand.

Don't be surprise if you buy any eBook and even your
dog knows what's in the eBook already.

If you don't have that lot of time for writing and doing
keyword research on what interest people, you can
definitely start a website like Jiji, OLX, business
directories, flight booking, start a biography site, a job
site, a question and answer website for graduates or
level students etc.

one thing about this type of websites is that you don't have to stress yourself to populate the platform.

Just come up with a great idea-a unique one, quora
and naira land are well able to influence you and I to be a part of what they started, of which we happily do.
Its the type of platform you need, a platform that can
drive itself.

But have this at your subconscious that the place to
make real money is online.

If you look into the US you'll see that they have many
internet driven services just about anything.

You can be the next Zuckerberg, all that matters is
purpose ..
You can hit it big on blogging by simply starting one
and influencing your friends be a part of it.

No matter the business , online or offline, learning is
paramount.

many people want to get trained, especially on manufacturing of cosmetics, computer repairs and lot more.

You can start a platform that facilitates that. Our government once promised free skill acquisition training, but nothing works out well fro their end.

You can help millions of Nigeria with such a platform. Teachers and learners will meet on your platform, then you market your audience.

Whatever your business idea there is a just website theme or script that will fit in best with your online business dream.

There is a PHP script containing up to 100 SEO tools for bloggers and webmasters. Just install these script on your website build a little content around your tools and see traffic comes in automatically to use your tools.

you can market that audience by placing Google AdSense adverts on the site. (PPC and other ads type)

Every online business needs a blog- blogging will enhance freshness and optimize your website to rank well on search engines. As you blog alongside your business more traffic flows in.

That's the real meaning of making money on autopilot

You can build this types of website and make money on autopilot with 2 hours work per week.

These types of websites are install and go to bed.

You can just do a kind of Facebook adverts may be CPM OR CPC to boost traffic.

If you have 10000 daily visitors. And each ads that were clicked on your site costs 50 naira. If you manage to have 2000 daily clicks it means you have 100k income daily and in 30 days its 3m.

jst brilliant,nice 1 boss

If you're considering a profitable online business but you do not have soft skills to push yourself with, it doesn't spell the end for you.
The internet is broad with countless use cases. There's something for everyone.
Selling online or e-commerce does not require any special skills, it's simple buying and selling and thankfully the internet has made it less capital intensive.
One good way to start making money in ecommerce leveraging the power of the internet is connecting with suppliers, importers or distributors of products you know is in demand around you to get their products and resell at higher price.

How is this possible online?
There are platforms to meet and connect with suppliers like gotahia.com, a few jiji merchants, and on Instagram.

On gotahia.com for example you can connect directly with an importer or producer of any product you're interested in selling. You can have conversations and get products at their warehouse prices and decide how best you can work with a supplier. And as a plus there's an online storefront to sell with.

You can advertise products at your price, get orders and the supplier makes the delivery in your name while you get the money, settle the supplier and keep the difference.

This is one way to make money online if you do not have special skills or big capital to kickstart. It's also a great way to take your existing business online.
