Do you need any and for what?

All those shouting mini-importation blah blah, mini -importation is 100% a profitable business depending on how vast your knowledge is on the field. Most of you venture into mini-importation with no knowledge on digital marketing or social media marketing, and you keep advising people not to start and blah blah. Mtcheww. I ventured into mini importation,print on demand and drop shipping at the same time and my business was booming but I stopped cos facebook deactivated my facebook account and I had a balance of 100k in my ads account, so I just decided to put it at hold since I can't create facebook ads and instagram ads, google ads dey expensive and twitter so I ignore those two. Am still pleading facebook till dey open am back.
Don't mislead people, learn digital marketing and you will be able to sell things easily, Invest and learn. I bought courses and learnt alot, so even if you have 100k start importing and put aside 20k for advertising and learn social media ads, if you no get money to learn am, find person to help you run am. Use gig logistics for your local delivery and u go Dec enjoy ur business.
Once facebook activates my account, I will start a subscription platform and my main target will be USA, Europe ,Canada and Australia cos those countres can invest in anything. No money is small to start a business bro

AwkaetitiBabe:
Why? Gig Logistics cost around 2800, you simply have to factor in that cost in your price.

Mine was around 2006 or 2007. I was working in a financial institution and nursed the idea of running a laundry business as a side gig due to an opportunity I saw. Prior to that time, there was a lady in the area I resided then, she worked at a business where I usually patronize, I observed she was a very good, decent and diligent lady, so I 'toasted' her (trust boys nau) but she was foot-dragging about my advances, so I decided to back- track.

Months later we spoke and she informed me she longer worked there, I was happy and she asked me why, I immediately told her my plans and offered her an opportunity to manage the new business I was about to set up to which she agreed. We launched the business, a sizeable one and I did a lot of marketing, so customers started pouring in, including my friends and church members.

The business went on very well for about 2 years and I was making money so comfortably that I wasn't really touching my salary where I worked except for the loan I took to start up, the lady didn't steal my money and even if she did, I didn't really care because I was happy with what she remitted, besides, I trusted her so much.

Then trouble started, she started giving me 'attitude', I was confused because we maintained a good working relationship, so on a fateful weekend, I took her out to have a discussion and the outcome shocked me!- She had been managing the business properly in my absence ( I only went there occassionally after I close from work in the evening) because she saw it as 'our' business, that she's been waiting for me to follow up on my earlier advances and start thinking of settling down with her, I was speechless.

To cut the long story short, she eventually left when she saw I was more interested in growing the business than having a relationship with her. Every manager afterwards was a sorry story, they stole so much that I wanted to close down the business, sadly, I encountered an unprecedented financial challenge at the time and sought investors, funny thing is that I even posted it here on Nairaland, that I was looking for investors....lol.........I eventually closed down the business and that experience remains one of the most painful in my life.

Conclusively, I'd say Human Resources was my bane. Without good and sincere people especially Managers, your business is likely to suffer.



If she’s not married yet, Just try to get her and later you will marry another small girl on top her maybe after ten years, By that time you will have know how far and she would have add a lot to your wallet, It’s a win win for you sir, Forget my religion won’t allow me marry two wives, Only if you re sure your religion will feed you after you retire from your white collar job, It’s not easy to see someone that’s that loyal even if she will mess up you will not have the problem of feeding the kids and paying school fees, You will just be battling with your head while the proceed from the business will be used to support your kids, Na one by one shit they gather.

AwkaetitiBabe:
You dont use newly created Facebook account to create Ads. They'll lock the account sharply. Simply buy from people. I bought about 2 different accounts last month, still using one.

How much will you buy my old fb account?

What about accessories business, is it profitable and less problem?

I want to start a mini accessories business, though I have about 100000k but I don't really know much about it.

I'm looking for where to get the goods but a friend of my ask me to go to Alaba international market that I will see an accessories distributor there. how safe is Alaba international for thus kind of business.

I'm afraid to lose the business in a short time or no profit acquired...

MoIbrahim:
They left at their own time when the business was having challenges, without waiting for us to get their replacement and they left gaps without giving a damn.

Employing someone out of pity was the mistake, and lesson was learnt, the hard way.

Jones4190:
there is oo my brother, infact that is my business, don't even go for the one of 100k, look for the one of 50k, buy two and give aboki to be delivery 6k each every week.

Freshprince91:
Chief, there's an underlying truth behind stories like this.
I left my job in this same manner 10 months ago, though i submitted my resignation last year July but it was not approved.
Let me say i was fortunate to get the job a month after youth service in 2016, I wasn't paid 2 months into the job because the company had no money, this and many more (no leave, no allowance, no health insurance, no pension, no weekends off) i endured for 2 and half years working for that company.
Need I say, it got to a point i was using my money to run a building construction that i had no stake in, it was that bad on a 48k salary job.
I resume work 7.45am Mondays through 9pm every saturdays ,I had no social life, i couldn't do anything else aside that job, it was as if my life took a different turn. I aged quickly!
If i tell you i was in my mid 20's you won't believe me.
The company was in debt before i joined them and the debt profile grew. We would be in the office/ site and some contractors would threaten to shut everywhere down. What about our labourers, some would threaten to throw our site engineers into a concrete mixer if they're not paid their weekly wages.
I took the decision after the Christmas break not to return because the odds are /is still stacked against them. Building contracts were/are not forthcoming.
My colleagues that stayed back haven't been paid for 4 months, 4 months !
It happened alot when i was there, we've gone 5 months without salary and you dare not come to work.
Its a hard thing to do especially when you have no where else to go, that same feeling kept the QS and Accounts assistant back (fear of the unknown).

AwkaetitiBabe:
Just lookat I doubt you'd find another committed lady to handle your business like that woman. Greedy selfish people everywhere.

Yinibixema:
I have fb account to sell 5k

AwkaetitiBabe:
Sorry I only pay 2k for Facebook. Nothing more, nothing less.

Yinibixema:
Hmmm 2k?

AwkaetitiBabe:
Yea
