Where the capital to start ?

continue waiting for the capital. It is in heaven..

[quote author=Rootprof kpost=93900803]Tinubu shot himself in the leg many times and the north did not say anything cos it favours them, that issue of bullion van will be used against him by same people that was cheering him then. Well good luck to him. But when will Nigeria have a young smart educated president and not all this old power rotating leaders [/quote]It is because of the cost of election and politics in Nigeria.

Except one of this old money bags back the young, I don't see that ever happening

Let's assume that we settle for the tyre inflator and we would like to import and sell it.

The next thing to do is contact the sellers, based on prices that you feel is best for you. When you contact sell, you tell him/her that you want to make purchase their product with specifics on quantity.

They will set up a payment link for you to make the payment and you will give them address of your Chinese agent (or shipper), where they will send your product to. It would take about 2-3 days for this process to complete, that is sending the package from seller to your shipper.

When your package gets to your shipper, you will have to choose between express and cargo (due to corona, only cargo shipping is currently considered across all shippers) and they charge per KG.

Once you have decided on the product to sell, you should would need to have a website that you can use for the sales of your product.

To get started, go to Namecheap.com and register a domain name of choice, which will cost around $9/ year

Link here: https://www.namecheap.com/domains/domain-name-search/

Pay for hosting on Namecheap as well to help host the domain name earlier registered.

Namecheap has package called "Stellar" for hosting 3 websites at the cost of $17 for the first year.

Link Here: https://www.namecheap.com/hosting/shared/

With that done, your login details will be sent to your email after you finish hosting payments.

To host your domain name, you simply change the "nameserver" you will find this in the email that namecheap will send to you.

Log into your cPanel (control panel) and install wordpress.

Search online for "instabuilder plugin" and install it. It is with this that you will be doing your works on Landing pages.

After you install the instabuilder, you can the proceed to write your sales copy which will be used to sell you products with a form included on it.

Make sure that you give seller your Name and phone number with instruction to write them on your package for easy identification.

Good day nairalanders,

Sorry I have to write this, I have decided to keep it to myself but, I decided to let it out.

Just like every other job seekers who are looking for jobs either to switch to a better pay or change environment.

Though I have been out of job since the COVID-19 pandemic started, I worked in a retail company, but since we have not been called back, I decided to search for job.

I saw an advert and decided to submit my application, just like every other people, luckily after one week or two, I got a mail that I have been shortlisted for their online test and after I pass, I will move to the next stage which is virtual interview before coming to their office to sign my employment letter.

After the mail, like 3 days I got a mail containing my ogin and password for the test, fiam, I opened and I did the test.

After like another 3days, I got a mail from them that I passed the test and i should be expecting a whatsap call from one of their head office in Europe.

Luckily I got the call, from one of the European country number from a Nigerian, believing is the call that would change my life forever.

After the normal introduction and other things like the job functions, the real bible questions started which I was able to scale through it.

Towards the end of the virtual interview, the last question was are you a born again Christian, have you been baptised and what denomination are you?.

And I said yes I'm a born again Christian, I've been baptised and I'm a Roman Catholic.

At the end of my speech his response was, is not possible to be a Catholic and be born again.

He said once you were not taken to the river to be baptised that's not a baptism.

Catholics are not born again Christians and I'm not baptised too just because I was not taken to the river to be baptised.

His last statement was, you actually have the experience but, we need other denomination not Catholic that the job entails somebody who is a real born again Christian.

That was how I lost the job, thinking today being my birthday, I will go to church and do special thanks giving.

Well, if we lived in a saner clime, that company can be sued. Wetin concern religion for this kind matter?

JidennaJason:
One of the qualities of a good leader is to make consultations..... Malami ought to have consulted widely before making such decision.


This would not only affect the revenues of the NBA, but it would cause some misconduct by aggrieved members.


Malami should be careful not to take sides with the splinter NBA group, he should be very careful.

You are jus talking nonsense. This is a lesson for Southerners who like fighting each other. Fools who mock the North as less educated yet the North always proof they are far smarter and bolder than the ones that call themselves most educated.

This amendment has everything to do with El Rufai and his splinter group.

The South is FOOLISH, a WIMP and dumb.

Alternatively, you can join facebook groups (Ask the gynaecologist) and others..you'd find your audience there.

Bros, I have seen ur pm. I will respond as soon as possible. Don't want u to feel I am ignoring.

Slimzjoe:

Kidd keeps debunking that "Rich people are Proud" myth.

Even if he's pretending, he's doing it so well and that requires a certain level of streetsmart which is also rare in People of his Social Status.

Omor, you don see Agricultural Farms this guy get for Benue?
Man get Money still get sense join. Thumbs Up

Most of these kids from very wealthy home are very humble.

Na children from broke home dey misbehave cos of small change.

I used to have a friend whose dad owned an oil company. They even struck a big contract in Ghana as soon as Ghana found oil.

Nchenches:
Gradually, the myth of one northern Nigeria is scattering.


Middle belt people are rooting for Biafra, even more intense sometimes than the Igbo.

will shut up and leave Biafra out of this? You guys will just be disgracing igbos as if you are the only one here.

tamdun:
Many people know nothing about ilorin, it easier for ilorin to join South West than okun people, I keep telling people that emir of ilorin will never pray for Nigeria to devide because there is no way ilorin will be left behind, the next town after ogbomoso(oyo) is ilorin and after u leave ilorin (heading to North) there are 100s of yoruba town/villages like oke oyi, jebba, share etc, the last time I visited oke oyi, I witnessed their masquerade festival.
Now tell me how they going to merge ilorin with North? Will they erase those yoruba towns from existence ni, is like saying lagos will be part of biafra, will u skip ibadan, ogun etc

LOL but when igbos tell that people In Asaba are igbos, ur people will call them attache by force.

Romanoff:
You don't get it. Imagine a Yoruba speaking person being called a northerner when you don't even share similar cultures or values.

I personally hate it.

same thing with igbos in Delta state and Rivers state.

Na wa oh!!!!!!!!

bamidele89:
Nice one bro
What about us that buy from 1688
And secondly please attend to the issue if my Facebook ads please
OR we create a WhatsApp group

Just stick to Alibaba. The price are not too different. It is same. If you doubt me, check it out. Using 1688.com comes at a disadvantage because you won't understand what is written there (chinese) and you would need Chinese agent to help you buy from there. But Alibaba, you can handle it by yourself, save money that could have gone to agent, have peace because it is written in English.

It is safe to say that 1688.com is just the chinese version of Alibaba, price-wise

bamidele89:
Done bro
Please check your mail

replied. please edit to remove the email. thanks.

emma1415:
if my goods arrive in Lagos how do I get it in abuja

tell the shipping company to help you send it to Abuja.. it will cost you extra money though. This is where people in Lagos/Ogun state benefits more.

bamidele89:
It performing poor bro that why I need more people to enlighten me more on Facebook ads maybe there are things m doing wrong

email com

ecomalchemist:
Thank you TechSkill for all you do. I've been following your posts for sometime now.

However, we can all join a WhatsApp group where we can discuss and share ideas aswell.

For noobs, I'd advice you don't spend a dime importing anything for now due to the exchange rate. If you want to import, just import hundreds of a particular product.

Of course, you must have done your own research to know a hot selling product.

Find a hot selling product and head to to get it locally. Run traffic to your landing page and adopt a dropshipping method (you source locally from jiji, add your mark up and send directly to the customer). Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

For landing pages, you can use mailchimp, getresponse or carrd.io

For logistics services, open an ecommercce account with GOD IS GOOD LOGISTICS.

If you need logistics that do same day delivery in Lagos, you can reach out to me.

For Facebook ads, goto trafficmastery.ng.

TechSkill, we really need to talk. There's something I'm working on and it'd be of great benefit to the community.

Cheers !!

Na God oo. I no plan this thing but I wanted to prove some doubting thomases wrong when I told them what is possible with eCommerce. What they don't realise is that people WILL ALWAYS BUY things, no matter what. It is your job to put your tray so that you can collect their money.

if you are using God Is Good, do they collect money on your behalf from buyers? Last time I tried to use them, I discovered they are expensive. So what I usually do is use other unknown transport vehicles heading to, say, the North. My agent there will collect it from them and distribute for me.

For the exchange rate, I have decided that I will get card at all my banks, as long as they still allow $100. I don't mind opening extra bank accounts at each of them so that I can get 2 cards per bank, while using some friend's card too.

On Alibaba, I will tell seller to split payment. If I am paying $500-$1000, I will go $100 each until I complete the payment and seller will send me the package as whole.

I could repeat same process for Facebook ads by pausing the ads before it exceed max $100 limit, Pay and continue using it.

bamidele89:
Bro I have everything u post here
I have a website I use for landing page
I import from 1688 also
And I run Facebook ads also to test my product before importing it

But what I need is can you please share me your Facebook course am lacking behind on this Facebook ads issue and it bothering me
I have a baby product that just land from China
I want to run ads for it please bro share me your Facebook course because I have already designed my landing page

Please I really need to watch your tutorials on Facebook ads

OR you suggest we create a WhatsApp group

Does this mean you have never done facebook ads before or you have done but it is performing poorly?

tranxo:
Are you from Ghana?

HELLASJ:
Thanks for the lecture

pls if my goods arrives Lagos how can I get em in Abuja

You tell the shipping company that brought it from China to Nigeria to help you do that. You will pay them to send it to Abuja for you.

Fortunate25:
I really want to understand what the domain name will be used for and also a web host?

and must it be a Dotcom website?

The summary is that you need a website to execute this model of eCommerce and that is what you need the domain name and the webhost for.

No, it must not be dot com.

expertix:
It supposed to be MilanShoes and not milanshoe because shoes are in pairs. execept when shoe is coming first ie. pair of shoes or shoesales and not shoessales.
Though someone might buy it from you but it is not going to be as fast as you expecting it to be.

All these ones na una own. Buyer has the final say... even if its shit.com, buyer carries the vision, not you or I.

Carmal90:
Can I pay by myself using my Mastercard on Alibaba??

That is what I used bro. I used Zenith and GTB today on Alibaba

Evilgenuis:
While the Black Market dollar exchange is #445 chrisvicmall is exchanging for #460 as at this morning.

Am I missing something or is it a way to rip the mini importers off?

lol... they must make profit na. remember they are sourcing for the dollar too.

Today, I paid twice for one small order. I already have one that will arrive next week but had to order additional so that before it arrive, I would have sold the first one off... max 5 days, I should be done selling all.

This dollar scarcity is not funny at all and I am thinking of applying for cards at all banks I have account as well as using friend's

ceejay80s:
my guy , take my advise, dont let a thief go, his account should be blocked, tell ur bank to refund u from his account and freeze his account or they should notify the police, he will do same to somebody else , teach him a big lesson, dont say i did not warn u, do u think he will refund u if the bank had not contacted him? see if u dont involve the police in this , i will do it my self

Is this possible? I have a case where I lend a friend money and I didn't want to give it if not that he included that is for the sake of the newborn baby. He later turned and told me that he will not pay me anything and that I will receive my money in hell...

Can I report this case to central bank or my bank against his Bank to have his account frozen or blocked?

Please advise.

osamz007:

THUNDAR:

Thank you. I just hope that GTB will help. I will share my experience with them.
