I will be writing about ways to make small money online for people in this section and I hope this becomes a long thread someday.

I will be updating from time to time on my business insights.

I hope we all learn from this.

Okay, I will be starting today with a post I shared on my Facebook account today.

Jaiye KUTI - The place of Influencers for business growth.

Now, this a long one. But if you're patient enough, you can learn. Ẹ mọ pe èmi e báwọn hee èrà tí ó lọ́mo nínú. Lol( Sorry for the Yoruba words. It means I talk about things that will develop minds).

Okay, I was watching TV now and I saw our own beautiful Yoruba Actress Jaiye Kuti along with other celebrities in a short Advert clip for Dano Milk. Yoruba movies watchers will know this Madam. It's like another Rachel Oniga in our small local Yoruba Nollywood films.

And I feel happy for her. It shows everyone has their space and can be used to add value.

I have talked about Mama rainbow Airtel Advert here many times and someone said, she was given like 20m for being their brand ambassador for a year I think.. To me, that's something.

Jaiye is definitely not doing this for free too, and this is why we must never stop looking at creativity to make money too. No matter how small it is. You can eat with skills, talent and creativity.

Jaiye KUTI doesn't have to wait for movie roles or scripts to make money here now. These are few of the brands she's promoting. As an influencer, you're doing nothing but being associated with brands. Nothing more than that. Promote their business and they thank you with money.

Today, brand influencing is what many celebrities eat and brands are not joking with them too. Collect 50k to 1M to promote people's business on your social media account almost daily like a paid internet marketer and you can also add other brands from different sectors too.

Odunlade is working with Glo today, he can do ads for first bank the next day, and also another for Independence day shout out paid by NOA or "vote don't fight" election promo by one NGO and life goes on.

From all these, we work with one another to provide service, raise awareness and make money to survive. Brands are now more likely to go after any celebrity for their business promotion, and PR or Marketing companies are now more wise not to just use any of their staff or do auditions for just anybody to promote people's businesses through them, they now look more for identifiable faces.

It is the new business working tool. You either embrace it or fall out of the system.

As a business person, find Influencers to help promote your business. You can't do it alone. There are small and big Influencers and each have both advantages and disadvantages. So look for your size. Your Facebook or Instagram page may not let many people know you more. You can talk to people than just running sponsored Facebook ads that may not yield.

You may be offering a good product or service, if people are not aware of your product, it is as good as if it does not exist. A good product that is not available to many will loose market to many substitutes that are not good.

Nigeria is big, there are millions that may need to know about your business and still pay you - brand influence works.

Bloggers, vloggers, comedians, and many others are eating nothing but adverts, and even mainstream media houses like TV stations and Radio houses. They can't pay staff without Advert placement. Look for these people!

I explained a lot in my new book "Making money with small businesses in Nigeria" - it explains little ways we can use to promote businesses, and opportunities we can tap into in the creative industry among many others..

There are a lot others are doing to get customers, make money that you may also may love to read about. I explain a lot in this book. It's a book for everyone.

By 15th Oct, it will be available for you in your email with just N2, 500. It's a book you can read like a blog article, keep and read another new insight the next day. Trust me, you will learn new things. You can pre-order or tell me to keep a copy for you.

By the way, for people that wonder why people beg for others to follow them on Twitter, or why people celebrate 10,000 Instagram followers, well, it is not farfetched, it is because of side money like this. No one advertises with people that don't have followers. So people with followers that celebrate their increasing followers, and do give away to get followers are all doing business codedly. All these things work together. Use your social space well!

You can make more money online! I get small money from many services from people here. I have been busy with extraction of words from an audio file since morning. 2 days ago, I was asked to develop a content on a programme. All these don't come freely. They support my existence.

You can do something things too but you need to learn and read wide for yourself. It is not everything that people will come here to be telling you. Some don't even have that time to teach others. Everyone is minding their businesses. Don't become unused.

Embrace social media for your business growth.

Use your space for business growths too. It is the little way to support ourselves.

Learn from Jaiye! Actors that are waiting for scripts alone may soon be forgotten. Look around they are many that you wonder where on earth they have been hiding.

The system is crowded everywhere.. Alternatives are always available.

Open your eyes!

Hi guys. Reading from the book "Making Money with small businesses in Nigeria" again today.

Who is around Let's share another business Idea with ourselves today.

Okay today.. I will be sharing with you, this very topic below.

5 things that will always sell that you can try.

Finding exactly what to buy and sell is one of the first problems that many would-be entrepreneurs encounter in their quest to find a means to make money through trading. A lot of people will say money is the first problem to start a business, but as much as money is important, getting the idea of the right thing that sells and would always sell is much more important.

There are lots of people with thousands of naira in the accounts today, who are constantly going online to see, what exactly they can do with
the money, so getting the right product or service that is needed is the first hurdle to cross when searching for a good business. By putting the environmental factors, the political and sociocultural norms in a business environment into consideration, here are five (5) things that will always sell in Nigeria come what may.

1. Food: As a student back then, once I withdraw my monthly stipends from banks, the very first thing I do is to head to the market
to stock my food buckets, and there are thousands of people like me around the country, who do that weekly or monthly.

Once they get any money or collect salaries, food is the first thing they factor in and this is because food is unarguably the number one basic necessity of life. It is the real fuel that drives existence and has become what no one can do without. It doesn't want to understand that there is a recession in town or you're broke. You either borrow to get food to eat or you beg. There is no just anyway you will boycott buying foods except one who is ready to die of hunger, and as such, food remains world number one thing that human beings and animals think about each day.

Going into food-related businesses is sure or the right way to go. And you can never go wrong with one. Just study your environment, know
exactly what kind of food services you can provide and you will continue being relevant in the area.

Examples of food-related services are as follows:

- Raw foodstuff Retail in Neighbourhood or Market - look for farmers who are willing to sell their Agro products and take them to
places where these food commodities are highly needed or scarce. E.g. buying Yam from Benue or Niger State and transporting them to
Lagos to resell. No matter how small, you will see little gains.
