Idea 24 of 52: Become a Tutor (Tuteria.com)

Largely negligence of duties

Nice.

Abysmal

JOKERS.....all of them

• The market salespeople will register their accounts and details with your company and would have a unique merchant ID number.
• They will also display around their stalls or let the customer know that they can receive the payment with POS.
• When a customer asks to pay using POS, they are told the charge and if they agree, the market sales person can text or call your POS market office with shop location details. The agents will get to the market salesperson’s stall with the POS device as quickly as possible.
• The customer makes the payment, then your POS agent enters details into a register.
• The money comes into your account including your cut, which is the service charge, then you transfer to the market salespersons’ account at the close of day.
• So multiply the number of transactions your company helps these market salespeople to make, by your charge. There you would have your revenue daily.


It is also important to note that most of these market salespeople may want their cash soon so as to use it to go to the Market to restock. This means you would have to arrange an agreed plan to, bring the cash either early in the next morning or before they close of the day.


2. Business Model Canvas
Value Proposition: Cashless Transaction facilitation support for market men and women in busy and crowded Nigerian markets.
Customer Segment: The market men and women who are not ready for the stress or savvy with the techie setup of POS and other fintech devices
Distribution Channel: Word of mouth (field marketers), Flyers and posters, brochures, customer support office, etc
Customer Relationship: Direct, one-on-one, etc
Key Activities: Financial accounting, Agreement of terms with the salespeople at the market, customer care service, sales and marketing, etc.
Key Resources: Dedicated phone line & the market office (Customer support staff), POS agents, General operations manager, etc.
Key Partners: The market salespeople, the Banks, the customers, market revenue collection agency and other related unions and associations, etc.
Cost Structure: Bank deposits or setup costs, Staff salary, stationeries for daily operations, registration and licenses, Dedicated phone line and call cost, printing of flyer and other marketing communications related materials, legal services and Insurance, etc.
Revenue Stream: Cuts/Service Charge from every transaction

3. Competition: Be sure that others would join you in this when you start and seem to be making a profit, so stay prepared. Other forms of competition include having an ATM machine not so far from the market or within the market premises. This can affect largely how people would patronise your service, unless there are loads of people queuing to use the ATM or if they don’t work.

4. Risk: Presence of an ATM machine near the market poses a threat to this business; also challenges such as Network problems too can affect smooth operations. Do your research and other technical studies before jumping in.

5. Summary: You can start by going into a bank to find out how you can go about getting the POS devices and what it will all entail (the banks cuts et al), Find a Market and start generating revenue while you create employment for some people and make business much more easier for others.

1. Idea Intro: Recently I had to accompany someone to the Fish market at Epe, Lagos one Saturday, and we had to look for where to withdraw money before heading there because they do not have POS devices at the fish market. This led me to this Idea…

Imagine having a small office stationed in a busy Nigerian market with about 2-5 POS machines and POS assistants wearing customised Tee-Shirts who are ready to go to any location in the market where a Market Seller have need of the POS device to complete a transaction with a customer. Each transaction can attract a charge of 100-300 naira, and would depend on the price suitable to cover your running cost.

Good info, thanks OP

2. Business Model Canvas
Value Proposition: A one-stop contact for all domestic and other home services need. Easy to find services through a known trusted liable agency.
Customer Segment: The local general public in need of one service or the other, the service providers etc.
Distribution Channel: Flyers and posters, brochures, word of mouth, Phone and email.
Customer Relationship: Online and social media, word of mouth
Key Activities: Partnership (agreement) with reliable service providers, consistent customer care service, cold calling, sales and marketing, etc.
Key Resources: Dedicated phone line (Customer support staff), Service providers, Online presence (Social media), etc.
Key Partners: The service providers (Plumbers, Electricians, etc.)
Cost Structure: Dedicated phone line and call cost, printing of flyer and other marketing communications related materials, legal services and Insurance, etc.
Revenue Stream: Cuts/Commission from services provided by partners

3. Competition: There is the normal way people currently source for service providers, so coming up with yours would need you to be more strategic so as to remain competitive. We hardly have these service men move from house to house to seek new customers (except mobile tailors and shoe makers), so if you would want to get the new customers to get to the service providers through you, you would need to go out to hunt. Knock on doors and ask if they have need for plumber, electrician etc.

4. Risk: There is great need to ensure that the service providers align with your values and operational/service delivery standards. If they fail in service quality, this would affect your business, so you would need to organise trainings/seminars where you educate and enlighten those service providers working with you on expected work ethics and service delivery standards.
You will need to be clear on pricing and your own cut (admin charges) to avoid any conflicts.

5. Summary: As with other businesses, there is a great deal of work, time effort required and you would need to be committed to growing this and maintaining the good working relationship with the partners (Service providers)

1. Idea Intro:

Instead of staying idle while waiting for a great Job, You can set up your own local job centre by going around to all the people you know in your area with one service or the other (Plumbers, Electricians, Carpenters, Cleaners, Drycleaners, water supply, gas refill, etc.) then agree with them how much you will get on each referral they get from you, or better still the client pays you, you keep your cut and then pay the service provider. Then you could actively go from house to house to advertise/check with people what services they need. You would need to make sure your phone lines are always on and be sure of the availability of the service providers and their ability to deliver quality service as this can affect your new business negatively

Idea 22 of 52: Local Job Agency

Awwww.....


I can imagine the Joy, then the fear that you may have lost your bringer of Joy...

Hmmmm

Sure the years of experience requirement would limit many

Hmmmm

All these Promo for one song

Outlaw forced marriage ASAP

3. Competition - it is competitive since it is free for all. There are abokis and many other waste managers aware of the opportunity and are active in the business so you develop your convenient strategies to outshine your competition.

4. RISKS Major risk has to do with ensuring you have a ready buyer as we have experienced some buyers are not always willing to buy. Then the risk associated with transportation. Lastly risk associated with being blacklisted if it is discovered that steel or any other none required material is found in your sacks.

5. Summary:
Waste cans/pet bottles are gathered from event centers and dumpsites, bagged and transported to manufacturing plants/recycling facilities for recycling. You may consider exporting these too for valuable foreign exchange.
Enjoy

This is a pretty simple and straightforward idea. You simply gather these and send it back to the original manufacturers for recycling.

1. My Story
While reading one day, it just occurred to me that waste cans could be recycled. So I called up some friends working at various beverage producing companies (Nigerian Bottling Company and Nigerian Breweries) asking how they handle the waste packaging (PET bottles and aluminium cans). I learnt from one of them that his company did not produce themselves but rather outsourced to a third party. I got the company info and made calls.
It is an open market you are free to dive in whenever.
The idea is to simply gather as much as you can, bale (compress the wastes so that more can be transported at minimal cost), quality control (ensure that no foreign substance is present), then supply/transport to the collecting facility for pay.

Please educate me.
Can a bona-fide elected representative of the legislature be recalled by the constituents before the end of his/her 4year term?

Section 69 of the 1999 Constitution provides 10 clear but tortuous steps on how a senator can be recalled from the Senate.

Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/07/10-steps-recall-senator-nigeria/

The steps are:
1 More than half of the registered voters in the Senator’s senatorial district write, sign and send a petition to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC alleging their loss of confidence in the senatorial

2 The petition must be signed, and arranged according to polling units, wards, Local Government Areas, and constituency.

3 INEC notifies the Senator sought to be recalled, stating that it has received a petition for his or her recall, if the petition is valid

4 INEC issues a public notice or announcement stating the date, time and location of the verification of signatures to the petition

5 INEC verifies the signatures to the petition at the designation. The signatories must be individuals who appear on the voters’ register.

6 INEC conducts a referendum if more than one half (50% + 1) of the signatories are verified

7 INEC writes to the petitioners stating that the minimum requirements for a referendum were not met, if the number verified is less than one half of the registered voters in that constituency. The petition will therefore be dismissed.

8 INEC conducts a referendum within 90 days of receipt of the petition if the minimum requirements for a referendum are met. The referendum will be a simple yes or no vote on whether the Senator should be recalled, and will be decided by simple majority of the votes of the persons registered to vote in that Senator’s constituency.

9 If majority of the voters in the constituency vote ‘yes’ the Chairman of the INEC will send a Certificate of Recall to the Senate President to effect the recall.

10 The Senate President will show affected senator the way out of the Senate.

Very good...

More of that, hopefully in the South.

All though the best thing to do is to recall non performing reps and senators. That might still take a while...but soon.

Imagine since 1999 till now, none has been recalled home tho we know of many ineffective and useless reps and senators.

Most times its only God (The universe, nature) that calls them home.

If we deserve better, we should demand better...

From all sides ? The thing is history have revealed that people who believe in God have made and are making way more significant contributions to our understanding of nature than those who don't .

If you doubt me , we scanned through the medevial age(1000 years ) and discovered just three atheists who made meaningful contributions to the development of mankind

Intelligent my arss

What meaningful contribution has Religion made to Nigeria... Smh

Guy grow up oh. Its not a competition, just make sure u do ur kids proud.

Too porous.

Well you could organize the scale of your event based on your available resources and leveraging power.

Hand Tags can be purchased that can give the kids access to bits of everything you have setup. E.g Access to Bouncy castle, 3 Professional shots printed or emailed, 100-300 naira pop corn (100 naira worth X 3), Icecream, etc.

Well this can be planned for the weekend of Childrens day, and could also be organized whenever and however intended.


Idea Summary

Find a suitable location
Get in touch with small business operators
Agree on your cut or their payment for slots
Publicize your event (Kids fun day)
Make it happen

2. The Business

Value Proposition: Entertainment and recreation for Kids
Customer Segment: Middle and low-income families looking for alternative affordable recreational/leisure entertainment for their kids.
Distribution Channels: Word of mouth, Flyers and posters, email messaging
Customer Relationship: Dedicated phone lines, Sales and customer service reps
Key Activities: Buying, flipping (renovation), Renting
Key Resources: Startup funds (rent of location/bouncy castle), Admin and overall events management competence
Key Partners: Other Small-scale Business operators, Local government licensing and revenue team.
Cost Structure: Publicity cost (flyers & posters), Rent cost, Security etc.
Revenue Stream: Rentals or cuts from the other small business operators.

3. Risks

If it rains on the days you are open, it could affect the smooth running of the Business and probably affect the turnout.
Any business that would have a good number of kids would need to provide extra security for monitoring against, kidnaps or any kids straying out of supervision.
Also first aid and other emergency services should be at standby.

4. Competition

If you can do this, some other person(s) can do this also. But what will help as mentioned earlier is to be very sure of who your customers are and do all you can to serve them as best as you can.


Summary


Being very organized in general service delivery and ensuring all the business operators conduct their businesses and deliver quality customer services.

1. The Idea

Children’s day (may 27) is fast approaching and with it the buzzing opportunity to start a Business or generate some revenue. And this week’s Business startup Idea will seek to exploit this period and seize the opportunities that comes with offering value (entertainment & recreation) for Kids (their parents).

It is not news that most Nigerian cities lack public parks where families can just go for fun, as some of the very crowded cities would use up any available space found for real estate development (Residential & Corporate). Some parks, where available, would require tickets to enter (of course not charity Business). Well this post is not about what those park operators are doing but what you could do to get a share of the market.

Like in every business you need to be very clear who your customer segment is. There are lots of things some middle income and higher income families would want you to have in place before they could come patronize your Kids Fun Day business. This is important so you know key areas, and how to focus your resources effectively in attracting and satisfying your customers.

Know your customer segment and focus on making them as happy and satisfied as you possibly can.

You can do some research (work for the money you want) on where to buy or rent a Bouncy castle in your City, then use this to leverage with someone who has space (in a good accessible location) where you could get this setup. For more features, partner with someone people with Pop Corn Machines, Ice Cream Vans, Music DJs, Photographers and their mobile photobooth, etc. Then publicize your mini fun day (s). If you are can coordinate all these, you either get paid a cut from every business operating at your Fun day, or Businesses can pay a fix price to get a spot.
