I made money from redesigning blogger blog for people, I charge very low compared to what those big names charge, plus the one I made from my saving then,I was working as a teacher and do extra lesson too.l invested in liberty reserve earning Small Small from buying at I the rate of 160 and sell for 165/dollars.It was going smoothly,then a friend introduced me to a platform where you can transfer liberty reserve fund to payza acount and earn profit.it was making sense at first until i transfered 3k liberty reserve. and feu the company disappeared.the guy i was buying the liberty reserve from his hand said he saw it coming but his selfishness to sell his fund didnt allow him to caution me.My money, My brother's money all gone.



While I was still trying to track the website liberty reserve closed down

This is a recent bad business experience I want to share. I believe one or two people will learn from it. It's a long story but I will try to make it short without losing too much details.

I decided to start a side hustle in 2016; a cyber cafe, business center and payment solutions provider (e.g. IKEDC, DSTV/GoTV etc.). I got a big shop at a nice location, renovated it to look nice and comfortable. The shop was setup beautifully. Customers were given laptops to browse instead of the old PC everyone uses.
We were getting positive feedbacks daily and motivations to grow bigger. To cut the long story short, everything was going on well and we were progressing and profiting there until the third month.

My boy called me one morning that he met the door opened with no sign of forced entry. We later leant that my staff was careless with the key, someone must have smartly made a copy from the bunch he carelessly left on the counter. We changed the lock and upgraded the security. 5 laptops, router and money were stolen.

Less than a month later, another burglary attempt was made. This time very forceful; the window was cut opened late in the night and the burglary removed. The most unfortunate part was that no one confessed to hear a sound from the removal (which I'm sure couldn't have been done silently) in the dead of the night. The landlord, a pastor in the church that separates the shop from the resident building wasn't so bothered as no one in the house and his family was targeted. More laptops and money were carted away.

I pleaded with the landlord to allow me to get an "aboki" to stay there at night so he could watch over the shop as the security guards we pay to secure the area are as useless as used diapers. He refused citing religious differences. I was forced to involve the police this time despite hating the idea in involving our men in black. I paid 10k and nothing was done. Detective assigned asked me to investigate personally and call him when I 'catch' thieves I didn't care, we did some diggings and suspected 3 guys; popo man was called and he said he has closed for the day. The following day when we called him again, he lied he was coming and later cancelled the appointment citing official duty despite having tactically delayed one of the suspects. I have sworn never to involve Nigerian police in my affairs again

Almost a week later, a third attempt was made and it became clear we had to leave at least for the sake of our lives. We used less than 6 months there and all these unfortunate events happened within 2 months. We left hastily for another shop not far so we could continue where we left. This decision marked the worst I have ever taken. The new shop, although smaller showed signs of success, so I thought. We renovated it and moved in almost immediately hoping that business would be better there especially with the planned inclusion of Bet9ja and PS2 Gaming. Bet9ja bursted my bubble by not approving the shop, mistake number (I can't tell again). I tried Winners Golden Bet, they answered my prayer but cut it short later when they retrieved their license citing a mistake from them as there was another WGB center not too far off which they didn't noticed earlier. Maybe I would have been given notwithstanding if I had a good connection. I had to settle for Surebet247 which checkmated me to defeat.

Business was over dull in the new environment (no pun intended). Light was over bad (they only have light during our closing hours). We buy fuel of almost 2k everyday despite not making up to 2k (it's that bad) daily. I was practically financing that place with personal money; paid my two staffs from my pocket every month. We did only four months there as that was how far I could personally sustained the business. I sadly laid off my staffs, locked the shop till when my rent expires which was in February this year. I sold off most of the items I didn't give away at ridiculous prices as there was no place to keep them. When I sat down to count my losses, I calculated a loss of 1.6 million (which is surely more than that). I haven't recovered from the unfortunate incidents having spent all my savings. I'm married now with a child this year but I have fallen flat into the same rat-race I was avoiding by attempting to open another stream of income. I will rise, I will fully recover and charge forward.

as a 28 yr old who was fresh out of service. I started online buisness with my blog and was raking in 250 to 300k plus per month. after like 3 months the income rose to 1mil plus and even 2.some in some months.

Then I started trying out new investments...

LONG STORY SHORT: lost 800k to MMM. By Feb when MMM was confirmed to have crashed, I went ahead to lose another 1 Million naira and 6 months trying to set up another online business.

The painful part was not the 6 months of no income but the bad timing.

because, I had already paid for some plots of land before then. Paid for my new apartment. Was about making down payment for a new Corolla 2015 model when MMM crashed... and the investment started acting funny.

I was TOTALLY SCREWED!

I come lose lappy wey I buy 250k then Acer V Nitro. I was so depressed the only thing that kept me from SUICIDE was MaryJane. I owe my life to her

But then I was able to cash out around 300k plus on the 1mil investment and I am currently on another HOT NICHE and just 2 months in it i am glad to say I now make at least 9 to 15k a day.

By God's grace and if this one goes well, I should be hitting 7figures per month from next year. INSHA ALLAH! AMEN.

Nothing beats losing money to some yeye deal. It brings out the adrenaline in you.

WORD OF ADVICE TO ALL STARTERS: think Internet business. It's cheap to start and gives you room to make mistakes with less financial loses. Besides, the ROI is totally insane!

I used to have a set of video courses for pple who are always asking "show me the way" but then nobody wants to put in work. Most peeps just want free money.

karferguso:
I had a mild loss this year
I imported some iPhones earlier this year to reselll but mumu me did not do due diligence on their unlock status. I ended up buying 3 locked phones spent like 60k+ to unlock 2 of them. I sold the last one like that. All in all, I made loss of around 20k and that’s because I bought very cheap if not, I for hear am. But I understand that was a learning curve. Hopefully, I won’t make that kind of mistake again

Purplekush:
It was my first biz venture this year. I sold 2 copies only. Quite impressive I had to shut it down.

As for the videos, I can send it to you in a Flash drive depending on your location. You just have to foot the shipping fee and the cost of the flash drive. I use FedEx

You see this guys, chrisvicmall (see pic attached), them done help boys life well well when it comes to importing stuffs from China. I hail una. Make I leak secret for una. Go and learn internet business if you no get money to start BIG BUSINESS

Andrew202:
I have carefully gone through your posts. Really touching and informative. I hope we learn from our mistakes.

Meanwhile I also have my own story. Last yr I invested over 5million naira in establishing a new record company. Avalon okpe shot the video of our Artist, spent over 1.5 m in equipping our music studio to world class standard. After all said and done, Artist no blow, record label studio turned commercial studio did not even pay from Artist recording.
It was a big mistake, huge loss and regret.

I am an IT guru and computer programmer. My regret is not investing in my field of specialization. I invested in music biz bcus of someone close whom I felt could handle and manage it well but did not.

My lesson learnt is to invest my money is a business that is related to my profession or area of specialization. This way you will be able to handle your business personally and effectively. Only you can do it better.

So I was told by a friend to lend a farm land to plant potatoes, unfortunately after clearing and planting with over months of mantainance fee paid monthly. fastforward 2weeks to harvest its was cleaned clear by thieves, only to be left with tiny pieces. That was quiet painful but lesson learnt

HenryDion:
I'm inspired by your story and trust me, you'll bounce back. The richest of a man is not in the amount of gold he has, but the richest in his mind.
