Nice one but I have one problem with some online client, they cannot be trusted. how can one deal with that?
Do a scam test on whoever it is you want to deal with online thus:

person or program + scam

Search that on Google

Or Program reviews on Google as well

Explained it on my blog:

To make it online is not that easy, many are just claiming while few that are making it will not reveal the secret.

Is there any secret? The problem is that most people who want to make money online think making money online is just about clicking a magic button and when they join an opportunity and discover they need to work to earn, they back out claiming it doesn't work.


There's no secret. Just get the right education and work things out. You'll make it.

Good Morning Nairalanders, my earlier post was "7 reasons why you should start your online business Now". the post was meant to help the Nairaland community think and see reasons why they should not be too dependent on the Nigerian Economy and source for alternative sources of income as other people from developing countries like India, Bangladesh and Pakistan have done. i want my series of post to inspire the Nairaland community to wake up and research alternate sources of income online.

Starting your own online business can offer many benefits. You can run it as a full time project, or it can be something that you do in your free time as a side business. The internet never sleeps so profits can keep coming in at any hour of the day, even when you're sleeping or on holiday.

You don't have to be a technical expert to start your own online business. i am of the believe that if you can register and use Nairaland then you can start up an online business if you have the proper information. Here are the 6 steps to follow.

1. Decide On Your Trade

Before you start your own online business you have to decide what it is you want to trade online? is it Mini online importation, freelancing, Affiliate marketing, Plr Publishing, web development, drop shipping, information marketing etc. you have to be specific and focused on choosing your trade. please do not choose any of the above for making quick money. see it as setting up an offline business for long time profit.

2. Decide On Your market

we have now decided on a particular trade. now we will have to choose a market. lets take an example that we choose mini-online importation in Number 1, now is the time to decide what to sell, who to sell to, where to sell etc. you will have to decide if you will be selling baby clothing, fashion jewelries, phones, shoes, perfumes etc. The more focused you are on a specific industry or niche, the greater chance you will have in selling to your target audience. If you try to sell everything to everyone you will almost certainly end up selling nothing to anyone. so please be specific.

3. Sourcing For The Right Product To Sell

Once you have decided on your trade and market you need to source for some products or services to sell to that market. in Mini-online importation you will have to get those products from the cheapest online stores around the world if you choose Information marketing earlier, You can either create these yourself or you can sell other products produced by other information marketers as an affiliate or by obtaining the resell or master resell right to the product. This is one of the great things about starting your own online business. You don't have to produce your own products or even buy stock from manufactures. You act as an affiliate of the product and you get paid a commission when you make a sale.

i mentioned resell right and master resell right above. resell right gives you the right and license to resell other peoples product without altering the name of the author, his links, his portfolio and the entire work.

for master resell right, you can edit everything and claim the authorship legally.


4. Build A Website where Necessary

A lot of potential entrepreneurs are put off the online business world because they don't think that they can build a website. But there are many software programs available that make the whole process easy. Or, you can outsource the web building phase for somebody else to do for you. in some business models like the mini-online importation you do not necessary need a website as you will be selling through classified ads site, eCommerce sites, forums, offline sources etc.

5. Get People To Visit Your Product

There are two main strategies to get people to either your own website, where ever it is that you displayed your products for sell or your affiliate link . You can buy website traffic in the form of advertisements that appear on other websites or on social media. Or you can generate free website traffic. This can be done through various ways. they may include but not limited to, fully optimizing your website so that it's picked up by the search engines, uploading good quality content to social media with links back to your website, forum posting etc.

6. Build An Email List Of Customers

When a website visitor first comes to your site, it's unlikely that they will buy anything from you there and then. So you have to build that trust and relationship with them. The best way to do this is via an email capture box on your website. To get the emails of your prospects you will need to offer them something of value in return that is connected to your business. This could be a free report or eBook that provides useful info to your customer about your products or services. Once they give you their email you can then remain in contact via email to tell them more about the benefits of your products and services.

conclusion

remember that their have never been a map so detailed that it moved the owner an inch from where he is. only action can do it. procrastination is said to be a decision of those likely to fail. you are not a failure. do not procrastinate and create an alternative source of income today save the Nigerian economy.

i hope you enjoyed reading this piece and have learned something from it. feel free to ask questions in the comment section

iykepromotions:
frankly this is not the right time to import especially for a mini importer.
Why not if there is no Nigerian law banning importation? Do you know that my money in bank is loosing value daily?

Is it not better for me to import make profit and my money grows rather than loosing it?

Very very easy.. If you have things you want to import in mind, you just have to visit some Chinese sites, create an account with them, link your Nigerian bank card, source for what you want, if you get the prices and specs you want, you buy. It's delivered to the nearest post office to you. Some delivery r for free, others are paid for and you can also use Nigerian third parties to ship to nigeria(this might be expensive). Hope this helps.
How do I know I am not paying to the wrong person, I don't want to believe all people on Ali Express or Alibaba are genuine.

Pls enlighten me more.

Thanks.

I know what I'm saying when I say there's really no secret! The point I'm trying to pass across is that people looking for secret strategies already have more than enough strategies on how to make money online. There problem is sitting down to actually implement what they know.

Those who are newbies should seek proper knowledge!

Baba calm down and chill. Stop deceiving people. Most of the money u make from this ur import-export biz is by selling ebooks and doing consultancy for gullible naija youths.
If u gather all d money frm consultancy and ebook sales, its enough to make u live very comfortably while ur followers are suffering

The truth must be said here. If you really wanted to know more about a subject online/offline, there are two ways to it.

*YOUR TIME OR YOUR FINANCIAL RESOURCES*

Get ready to spend a lot of your time on making researches online. There are many Free Articles on the subject you are interested in. You just have to make out time to research on the internet and endure the process of researching. The Google is there for you.

When you don't have time for this, you can make use of money to get a detailed packekaged information on the subject you are interested in.

The truth is, you don't just get angry at one who decide to make some bucks from those who are interested in a certain subject/information but don't want to take time out to make researches.

In Summary, change your mindset. If you don't want to pay for information you are interested in, research it Yourself. Make Google your friend.

Thanks. That's the truth. Buying ebooks is not the problem here but how sure, practically, what they claim it preaches. Bought lots of them in the past but it's looks like they all copy each other and none ever practised what the write about. I can buy book and keep reselling it. Trust is the issue once again

There is a security means called Escrow(Not sure about the spelling). Aliexpress only pays to the seller after you have received and confirmed your goods. So you don't pay directly to the seller.
