HOW DO YOU MAKE YOUR OWN MONEY ON THE INTERNET?
The Nigerian internet gurus would tell you that with a Phone/laptop and internet connection, you would be the next Bill Gate in one month. They would tell you that unlike Bill Gate, that you don’t need to do anything for the money to roll in. They will hand over their Master strategy that is Making One million Naira for them every day, once you paid them your five thousand Naira.
Not done yet, they would also promise to give you bonuses worth 2million Naira free,which will make additional 10million Naira for you, all for your five thousand Naira. They will mount so much pressure that you keep wondering “How come he wants this my 5k so badly upon his claim of making millions every 24hours’’. How not to make money on the internet.
1. Paid Survey. I once pay one of the gurus for survey program. He promised heaven and earth to get my money and to set it up for me. VPN, Credit Card, US address, Verified Paypal, US bank Account, Swift network modem etc. After investing about 500USD and working for 2months, nothing came out of it. The company he recommended did not pay. All effort and resources wasted. My 100USD is still trapped in PayPal as he said no withdrawal except a Merchant pays in money into my Account. I keep wondering how someone will be teaching what he is not sure that works.
2. Amazon Publishing. Some claimed that they make millions from Amazon Kindle publishing. I have some books there as well. Amazon Is an American thing. You have to write what Americans wants and to their standard. You also need dollars to promote it to get any attention at all. So the idea that as a Nigerian, You made millions there, forget it. There are over one billion books there so how will anybody notice your own in the first place?
3. Fiverr. As said above, it is an American thing with American needs and standard. Millions of People hustling for a 5-dollar job. It will be easier to win a Federal government contract than to get a 10 dollar paying job at Fiverr. So forget it as an option of making money on the net as a Nigerian. It is the same with other UPwork sites.
4. Binary option/ Forex trading. High speculative business, with luck and good strategy, one can make money from them on good day. But sustainability is not guaranteed on them.
5. Affiliate/freelancing. They claim that you just set it up and millions in commission will begin to roll in for you. Major affiliate sites do not accept Nigerians. Then People like me will not promote anything I did not confirm. So beware of being used by others in promoting fake /substandard information or products in the name of Affiliate marketing.
6. Blogging. People easily mention blogging as a way of making money on the net. But they forgot to let you know that blogging is a full time business. You need the expertise and the resources to set it up and grow it to the level of making money out of it. It is not a thing to make quick money.
7. Mini-Importation/China drop- shipping. Importation will be good when you are already a trader, already know what people wants and the various sources and cost of getting them. You will then be in the position to know if importing at the prevailing exchange rate will be better. Don’t venture into it from nowhere. You cannot make it. Develop your line of business first before you know where to source your products from.
8. Bitcoins investment. Beware of this scheme, It has no solid foundation. Advanced economies see it as a means of laundering money. It is not backed by any strong economy. It can crash and be phased out any anytime.
So if you’re truly making money on the internet, tells us; how easy or difficult it is. Then is the money in Millions?

Yes making money online is one of the most difficult thing on earth and its not for lazy people. No one will handl you a dollar for free on the internet if you have nothing to offer and you have to make conscious deliberate effort. You can speed it up by dedicating some investments for marketing just as in your 9 to 5 job, your business will be dead without marketing.
So what's your point ?
Are you just lazy or you have nothing to offer thats why none of the above listed isn't working for you.

You can keep deceiving yourself all you want, but this year I passed out from NYSC and I have used money I made on Fiverr to rent an apartment and feed myself without th disturbing my parents. So keep thinking people are lying and don't go and learn how they do it.

@op make sure you find what works for you...
Just today alone. I had orders to the tune of #35k x 6 do the maths.... Am not saying to brag, but you've got to dedicate time and master one aspect(niche) of online business..

I import watches, jewelries and human hair extensions....

So pick a niche and master it....

God bless your hustle. Your site is offline.

I like your contributions. You accepted that "making money online is one of the most difficult thing on earth". The gurus that sell the information to us do not say so. They tell us lies to collect our money, only for us to be stranded halfway when we could not get the result they promised in the beginning. If you truly tell me how things work, then I will be prepared for it. Not half-truths that do not work.

[quote author=EXPRESSSMAN post=83843907][/quote]Nobody lied to you. I wish i had time to put together my own book, but then even those that took their time to do it know why they put it up for sale. You can read books all you can but the real truths are hidden in experiences obtained from trying. You cant get that in books bro. You go through forums and videos and those who have cared to share it online. You cannot tell me you have gone through all the pages of fiverr thread here and not observed a few people turned from nothing to millionaires and then back to nothing when they got their accounts banned.

You want them ebooks sellers to spoon feed you right? Just as someone started catfish business offline and lost half of the fishes. No one told him fishing nets can kill. You use your head , do your research ,churn and burn till you get what works for you. Besides i wouldn't advise anyone to go into online businesses if you do not know at least 50% digital skills you are only wasting your time.

If you cannot train and discipline yourself then forget the mirage of making money online ,dust your CV and look for a job.

If you don't already know that making money is as volatile and unstable as bitcoin market then you're on a long thing. What worked today, might stop working in few months. SEO ranking algorithm that worked last year, no longer works this year, survey sites that paid in 2015 have packed shop in 2018. Fiverr was way easier in 2015, its now tough in 2019 and you're here whining about it.What do you expect when you buy books that was last revised in 2015.

Don't play yourself man. Go and learn a skill.
