I am a living testimony of how online businesses can change one’s live. I have known affiliate marketing since year 2014 but I never made a penny from it except in the month of October 2017 when I intensified research and I was pointed to the right direction. I made only $175 in October 2017, although it was small but it was huge for me as that was the highest I ever made in a single month online.

Fast forward to 2018, I now average $1,255 monthly. Although I am not where I am aiming, but earning an average of N451,000 monthly is worth glorifying. I will give the credit of all my online business success to CLICK HERE

Business / 4 Online Businesses With Low Startup Capital That Will Make You Rich In 2018 by ugojibaby: 6:00pm On Mar 18, 2018
If you are looking for any online business to start with low start-up cost, then this post is ideal for those with a small budget. The era of the high cost of starting an online business is long gone with the advancement of technology. Thankfully, technology has created a level playing ground for all those who want to start an online business but with a small capital or budget.

The first step to start an online business is to know the secrets of such business and its model of operation. I have written extensively on that, and my secret knowledge which I have gained over the years would help you achieve that. You can check it out on the blog.

I have compiled 4 online business ideas for those with low startup capital. These ideas can be brought to reality with just your laptop and Internet connection.

[img]https://2.bp..com/-GdkwVI0EhU0/Wq6MAS_JnZI/AAAAAAAAACc/Y1f59_GoBf4wdRZQ84TVliI6bw9ho-pbQCLcBGAs/s320/online%2Bbusinesses%2Bthat%2Bare%2Bfree%2Bto%2Bstarrt__optimized.jpg[/img]

Start an Online Store

This is one business idea that has makes Thousands of Naira on a monthly basis. The reason is that I don’t bother selling my own product, I only sell what others have created, and make my money via juicy commissions in dollars.

This is one of the online business ideas with low startup cost, and one of the most lucrative. If you don’t have a product (like I don’t have), with no idea on how to get, then I will show you how I make thousands of Naira without having my own product.

If you don’t have an online store, it would cost just a little to set up for yourself. If you don’t have the cash, then you can follow my secret method which you can get for almost free and take all the profit for yourself without spending a dime.

Open sources like WIX, Wordpress can also be of help when trying to design an online store. However, you would still be responsible for hosting your online store on the internet. I have listed other ways you can bypass these steps and still make a huge profit for yourself.

Become a Social Media Manager

This is one of the online business ideas for those with low startup capital. With several social media platforms coming up with great speed, several individuals are looking for those who are capable of managing their online platforms.

The importance of a social media presence has created several business opportunities. It is hard work creating contents for social media. Then with several platforms to manage, you can end up making it a full-time business.

Many companies require social media managers to help drive up the number of followers they have, create contents to keep them engaged and keep them active. You can then start an online business around this model without the need of much startup capital. All you need is just your laptop and expertise to create engaging contents.

Become a Web/Mobile App Developer

This online business is basically for those who have spent some certain amount of years learning how to code and develop websites. If you don’t fall into the above category, there are also other options for you.

It is also possible for a non-tech enthusiast with no prior coding skills to develop and create their own applications. With the introduction of Mobile Apps Production Software, anybody can possibly develop their own mobile application.

This then allows you to offer your services on several freelancing platforms like Fiverr and Upwork. The secret to making money on these platforms depends on knowing how they work.

Coming in as an armature might cost you so much frustration and downtime, but once you know how it works, you can start earning as fast as possible.

Sell Books on Amazon

Instead of writing and collecting a one-time payment, you can keep getting recurring revenue by selling your books on Amazon Kindle. This business idea is good for those with low startup capital.

All you need is just a book cover designer, and you are in line to earn money for a lifetime through your book. The more books you write and host, the more money you make. You can either sell the books on your online store or you utilize Amazon kindle.

Whichever method you desire to use, you are in line to make good money for a lifetime.

If you desire to either start up your online store or sell as an affiliate, I have written down a guide that would help you know all the secrets I use to make money. Once you start your online business, you make money without limits.

To your success…

Business / Profitable Blogging Niches In Nigeria by ugojibaby: 12:30pm On Mar 16, 2018


Most people start Blogs with the aim of making money by accruing traffic through the provision of helpful information for readers. It is however difficult to attain the stated aim of blogging if it is established on a niche that is not close to profitable or in other words does not pull traffic.

A blogging niche is simply the topics that your blog focuses on. Having a niche that is interesting and appeals to the priorities of readers pulls traffic to your blog and also ensures that you never run out of what content to write on.

Although there are innumerable niches to establish your blog on, some are more profitable than others. The fact that no one would even dare to imagine being stuck with a blogging niche that doesn’t pull traffic is enough reason why bloggers need to get started on the right footing or go back to the drawing board by choosing the right niche.

With that being said here are the blogging niches that deliver not just on traffic but ensures that content writers don’t run out of materials.

1. Blogging Tutorials Niche.

There’s a sharp contrast between the number of blogs that focus on providing tutorials on blogging and those that are established on other niches. As a result Blogging Tutorials niches continue to get traffic from aspiring bloggers who want to learn how to set-up their blogs or established bloggers who want to tweak theirs. Therefore, it’s without doubt that establishing your blog on this niche would be profitable.

2. Health Niche.

Many people now turn to the internet to get quick and reliable health tips instead of spending time on booking to consult a health practitioner. In fact the internet has become a confidant that provides answers to health questions patients would not want to ask doctors. Moreover the number of health related issues searched online on a daily basis is enough to make you confident on establishing your blog on this niche.

3. Education Niche.

The availability of internet enabled devices coupled with e-learning platforms have made blogs established on Education niche one of the most sought after. Besides learning students acquire much needed information with regards to major examinations, universities of choice as well as scholarship opportunities.

4. Technology Niche.

Blogging on this niche has been increasingly profitable with the continuous emergence of technological products including laptops, smartphones etc. In addition many have been increasingly curious about how and when to get affordable data to power their machines, not to mention prepaid plans with cheapest call rate among other interests.

5. Business Niche.

Given the economic downturn of the country, many have turned to the internet to seek ideas that generate passive income. This explains why Nigerians were swayed by Ponzi schemes between 2015 and 2017 and are most interested in anything that boils down to money. With the untimely death of Ponzi schemes, Nigerians have now turned to blogs offering legitimate and profitable business ideas as well as those that focus on cryptocurrencies.

Business / Money Myths That Have Made Nigerians Broke by ugojibaby: 2:07pm On Mar 15, 2018


Money myths are simply false beliefs or ideas that have been widely held about money. The negative effects of money myths cannot be fully quantified, they discreetly undermine efforts made at getting ahead financially, a downturn which makes citizens blame the country’s ailing economy, their employers and even relatives without knowing they have themselves to blame for their financial woes.

Sad as it is, we have to admit that being broke is a choice because the beliefs of broke people make them financially stagnant. Fortunately, there’s always an opportunity for everyone to get ahead financially. A good step in that direction is to recognize and renounce some of the destructive beliefs we have about money.

1. Higher quality means higher cost.

This is a myth that increasingly robs Nigerians of their hard earned money. Although higher quality may sometime equate to higher cost, that’s not the case 90% of the time. Have you ever wondered what makes people increasingly believe that they get higher value for higher cost, inadequate information about a product of lesser cost does. The fear that a product of lesser cost will not stand the test of time makes people opt-in for that of higher cost. Getting ahead financially demands that you don’t pay extra or twice the original cost for anything you need because you are not well informed.

2. Spend more on making more money.

This could be much considered as a bad habit than a belief. It underscores the fact that “people are broke because they act the way they do”. Sit back and analyze the effect of your lifestyle on your income, how damaging is it?. On the other hand, consider maintaining the same level of lifestyle as you earn more, awesome?.

3. Start saving after earning more.

While this is logically possible, the truth is you already have plans on how to spend the increased earnings you get. Therefore there is no chance of saving except you make conscious efforts at saving from the little you earn. This can be effectively achieved by treading a path recommended by George Samuel Clason in his book the richest man in Babylon. The path advocates saving 10% of whatever you earn also known as “Me Tax”.

4. Invest after you have lots of money.

Humans are insatiable hence you can never earn what you consider enough to start investing. In fact, waiting to earn more before investing could pass for procrastination. In that light, the best investment is what you do today with what you have. It suffices to say, getting started today will set you on the path of reaping benefits soon than waiting for an imaginal future increase in earning.

5. You only live once.

This is a cliché turned money myth and probably the most destructive of all money myths. It defeats every point of this article by making you comfortable with the belief that higher quality means higher cost, encourages you to spend more after making more money, makes you think that you can Start saving after earning more as well as invest when you have enough money.

Business / Top 5 Millionaires Who Made Their Money Online And How They Did It by ugojibaby: 4:55pm On Mar 12, 2018
Making millions of money online is not rocket science or a path to be tread by some selected few. One only needs to commit oneself to online money making opportunities as exemplified by a number of millionaires who have proved that anyone can make money online.

Anyone can be a member of online millionaires hall of fame, anyone can improve his or her financial status as the only secret to getting ahead is an open secret contained in one of the wise sayings of Mark Twain:

On getting started, it would be worthwhile to study the path of some selected 5 Millionaires who made lots of money online through information marketing, affiliate marketing, blogging, freelancing, and web mastering.

Akin Alabi.



Anyone looking for a prominent name to conjure with in the area of online information marketing has found the right person. Information marketing deals with the creation, promotion and sale of information products to people who are in dire need of it. Akin Alabi has distinguished himself in this area and consequently made millions from giving people the information they need by selling information products ranging from eBooks to video/audio course online. Availing yourself of his mentorship is a good step in the direction of making money online. The internet entrepreneur is also the owner of the popular online betting platform, Nairabet.

John Chow



In as much as most people know of living the “American Dream”, very few know of living the “Dot Com Lifestyle” also known as affiliate marketing that generates millions in months. Affiliate marketing is simply a means by which companies achieve deep market penetration via websites that have specific visitors. As a proof of how affiliate marketing generates millions, John Chow treads the path of informing others on how to hit big in affiliate marketing.

Linda Ikeji



Thinking of making incredible money from sheer passion can be made easy if one set sights on how Linda Ikeji made millions from blogging. As an activity that describes the act of publishing thoughts, ideas and information on a webpage, blogging is quite lucrative. Linda’s blog is one among top traffic generating blogs in Nigeria. Needless to say, the luxurious lifestyle of the blogger speaks volume of what anyone can gain from blogging.

Gbolagbade Adetunji.



When it comes to freelancing, the platform that has distinguished itself is Fiverr. Becoming a successful seller on Fiverr can be tasking if one doesn’t stand on shoulders. No shoulder could be more appropriate than that of Gbolagbade Adetunji who has made millions from selling gigs on Fiverr and offers mentorship programs for talented and eager minds. It suffices to say Freelancing on Fiverr is lucrative. I personally made N374,500 in February on Fiverr.

Seun Osewa.


Webmastering can be tasking but the financial benefits accrued from it is worthwhile in the long run. His success at creating the most visited website in Nigeria inspires others to tread the same path

Endnote.

While these selected millionaires are just a fraction of numerous others making money online, the message is clear and resounding, you too can make millions online, get started and you could possibly make the top of our list in time to come. Yes, you.

Business / Blunt Reasons Why You’re Not Earning A Dime Online by ugojibaby: 11:07am On Feb 27, 2018
[img]https://3.bp..com/-kGuYqNVjjag/WpUsWlIYAvI/AAAAAAAAARI/RCjnKvanLiMMJ8zv5f5kkGlfU9Fk_uTJwCLcBGAs/s1600/time-to-suceed-make-money-online-nigeria.jpg[/img]

From time to time, we receive mails from people who have been trying to earn money online without success. They read about the possibilities that exist in working online but somehow, they are yet to earn even though they have started. To them, it seems as though the idea of making money online is an illusion.

However, you cannot call the same opportunity that gives many people income to earn a living an illusion. If you’re not earning, the problem must be that you’re not getting something right. If you’re among the category of people who are not earning yet despite several spirited attempts, check out the reasons below to see what you’re not getting right.

1. You’re not focused on one single online business
The internet is home to many lucrative money-making opportunities. The truth is, most of them are very appealing in terms of profitability. However, you will continue to experience problems if you try to do all of them. Just because you have an internet connection doesn’t mean you should hop from one online model to another because you think one is better. It’s called the “shining syndrome”. This makes it difficult for you to earn online because your focus is scattered. Stick to one opportunity and work hard at it till you get it right.

2. You picked an area you have no passion about
The blunt fact is that while you may be able to do a lot of things, there are only a few things you can do very well. The mere fact that you can cope with doing something online doesn’t mean it will yield income for you. You must know what you’re passionate about, what makes you tick. The mere fact that someone earns big at programming doesn’t mean you should hop into it except you want to get frustrated with HTML. So scan for your area of strength and give it your best.

3. You’re not giving good value
You may trick people to buying your services or get readers to come to your blog but what will keep them coming back is the top-notch value you deliver. People typically get disappointed when they realize that they were hoodwinked only to end up for mediocre content or delivery. There’s no loyalty to substandard value anywhere in the world. Not even freebies can cover it up. If you’re a blogger, keep your content fresh and juicy the way your readers would like them. If you offer services, give it your best and let your clients feel they’re getting value for money.

4. You’re not building an audience
Your audience is the reason why your business exists. It is therefore important that you build a relationship with them. Get to know them if possible. Give them good value and be responsive to their inquiries. Once in a while, interact with them through your platform and build rapport with them. What will determine the longevity of your online business is if you cultivate your audience or you are just comfortable with random visitors/buyers.

5. You are in haste
The way people are hasty in this generation is astonishing. People want to get something the moment they conceive the idea or the instance they take the first step. It doesn’t work that way! Many things in life are designed to get better with time. So if the success of others is making you feel the rush to succeed, you’d do yourself some good by relieving yourself of that pressure. They didn’t get to where they are now in a week or month. Your primary concern is that your business is growing at a steady pace. Someone once said, "You cannot get a baby in one month by making nine women pregnant".

6. You’re not strategic
Gone are the days when you can just bump into an opportunity and suddenly make it your cash cow. Nevertheless, this is something people still do. People expect to do something passively and for the fun of it with the hope that it will yield an income for them. What they don’t realize is that

Business / Fun Facts You Probably Didn’t Know About Freelancing by ugojibaby: 7:29pm On Feb 13, 2018
While the word freelance is thrown around frequently, very few people know what it really means. So we have many people who are familiar with the term freelancing but have no real knowledge of what it’s about.

This article is to help give you a crash course of what freelance is all about. Even if you knew something about it, you will likely find something interesting that’s new to you. You ready? Let’s get into it!

1. You have a boss – It’s you

The idea of a boss to many people is someone who is grumpy, annoying and love to give tasks upon tasks to others. Well, when it comes to freelancing, you have a boss too, but you are your own boss. That means you get to call the shots as you deem fit. However, if you are someone who needs to be prodded to get working, you may struggle for a while at freelance till you get a grip of why you need to work hard. Don’t worry anyway; your low earnings will always motivate you better than your boss.

2. It’s about chaotic freedom

Yes, it sounds like an irony but it’s still true. Do you wish to quit waking up so early to catch the morning bus and return home late night? Freelance can help you with that. With freelance, you can sleep as much as you want, have the weekends to yourself and work at your pace. However, the story often changes when numerous orders start coming in. Soon, you may find yourself working late into the night. Yes, you have freedom but it can be chaotic. Not to worry though because you can always take a vacation at will.

3. Networking still counts

Do you like to work alone? Does the idea of having to relate with people over a task at the office wear you out? Freelance comes to the rescue. With freelance, you get to work alone and have your way with things without anyone giving you an opinion you don’t want. However, if you really want to succeed, you may need to network with other freelancers to learn new strategies and trends to help you raise your game. As a plus, you will always be motivated by their enthusiasm when yours wane.

4. Having skills is the top priority

Freelance is about having skills you can sell. These skills must be digital skills. A Nigerian was once asked if he had any skills to sell, he replied that he could type because he had a system. That’s not a digital skill and freelance sites are not business centres. While you may have a flair for some digital skills, sometimes, you may need to expand your skill set so you can earn more.

5. Hustling is a way of life
No matter how much you earn as a freelancer, you just can’t afford to rest on your oars. That means you must be prepared to continually market yourself to prospective clients. Just because you have earned for a month doesn’t mean clients will automatically traffic to your gig. Notwithstanding, there are freelancers who get to live outside the rule because of the years they have been at it and the huge positive reviews they have.

6. You may get fat

This sounds a little hilarious but it is true. Hardly would you see someone who has been freelancing for quite a while who still looks slim (except the person eats carefully and exercises regularly.) The reason for the added weight is obvious; as a freelancer, you may sit at spot for hours or even remain indoors for more than a day. Since you keep ingesting without burning calories, it’s only a matter of time before it shows. You don’t have to be worried, getting fat is a deliberate exaggeration on our; the right word is chubby.

7. It can get lonely but it pays

If you like to be where it’s happening or you are a huge fan of social life, you may experience some challenges. Freelance has the tendency of dragging freelancers away from the public and force them to remain hidden, meeting the demands of clients. You may just have to forfeit some timeout with friends and other social activities. This shouldn’t be a big problem because you are earning cool cash anyway.

8. You need the right information to succeed

It is true that you can start freelancing anytime you wish. Many people have stumbled into freelancing and started earning almost immediately. However, theirs is a rare case which contradicts the experience of many. The simple truth is that freelance can be quite difficult to start because of competition.

Business / Recession: See How Smart People Are Bypassing It by ugojibaby: 10:40am On Feb 13, 2018
[img]https://4.bp..com/-ewd9sd-aii4/WoKwcj4KTDI/AAAAAAAAAJY/6VY9q3yXXeIV1kS-8MsgCIS3DVEO_7XvQCLcBGAs/s1600/make%2Bit%2Bwork.jpg[/img]
In the last quarter of 2017, news filtered in that Nigeria had finally exited recession. The news was greeted with suspicions, doubts and widespread debate over the veracity of the report. Can you blame Nigerians? Despite the said exit, prices of goods have refused to drop to reflect the news.

One vital question that begged for answers was, if Nigeria is truly out of the economic quagmire as some quarters would have us believe, did recession ever leave Nigerians? Well, the answer stares at us all in the face.

In the midst of the economic turmoil, one blunt truth that many people fail to grasp is that every situation favours a group of people. What seems like a disaster to some is regarded a monumental blessing by others. This polarizes people into 2 groups: those who are hit by a situation and those who hit some good stuff courtesy the same situation.

So if there’s a war, a set of people benefit from it even though everyone hates wars. When flood occurs and destroys crops, it’s regarded as tragic and a bad omen. Yet to some people, it’s is a sign that something good is in the offing. This simple fact is evident in almost all spheres of life.

Likewise, despite the bad economy, some people are profiting big time. These are not politicians or those we usually assume are getting rich from the proceeds of corruption. I shared examples of such people in a previous thread with links to threads where they recounted their success stories. Like I’ve been doing, I want to help many people share their success stories and become financially free. We shall come to how to achieve that goal shortly.

Why People lose out

What is it that separates some people from others even though they were on the same plane earlier? Relating it to the thread, why do some people profit from a situation that impoverishes others? Both groups have equal chances to insulate themselves from the resultant effects but only one group of people do. So why do smart people get richer while the fortunes of others dwindle in the recession? Here are some reasons why people lose out.

1. Vain hope

As Nigerians, we are not aliens to the concept and reality of hope. We seem to be talented in believing that for some inexplicable reasons, things would get better. Many times, they do get better; but the few times the hopes didn’t materialize can be quite devastating.

While everyone is hoping that the recession would end soon, smart Nigerians were proactive in looking for ways the recession would not matter to them. The simple truth is, what many people think is being positive is simply vain hope. By the time things improve, the damage has been done already. Rather than wait for things to get better, how about you look for ways to make them better? Isn’t “the earlier, the better” still a wise move? This is how smart Nigerians think that others don’t think.

2. Blame game

In Nigeria, everyone is angry. Everyone is trading blames. We all know who are the reasons for our present predicament and do not hesitate to point fingers at them. But that’s what most people do while the reality bites their standard of living.

The other set of Nigerians do things differently. They are not ignorant that things seem not to be working in the country but they choose not to trade blames. Are you sad that your usual income can’t seem to pay the bills any longer? Are you sad that the cost of everything is rising except your take-home pay? Are you starting to get involuntarily used to being broke? Rather than trade blames, you can really do something about it.

3. Refusal to be flexible

As Albert Einstein said, foolishness is when you continually do the same thing and expect a different result.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. If you’re not happy about something, don’t beat yourself up about it. Instead, fix it! If you don’t like your financial situation, change it!

Doing that would require you to be flexible to try new things. You shouldn’t expect to succeed using old strategies (even though they worked before) when things have changed. Smart Nigerians who have profited despite the economic harshness were willing to learn and try out new things. Maybe it’s time you did too.

How to bypass the bad economy

If you’ve read up to this point, it means you really want to find out how you can also bypass the bad economy and continually smile to the bank.

As stated earlier, flexibility is vital in life. Just like the people whose success stories I shared before were flexible to learn and try new things, you need to do the same.

How did they bypass the recession? By working online. The logic is simple. By working online, they related with people who lived overseas who were outside the reach of Nigeria’s ailing economy. They got paid handsomely for their legitimate efforts and their payment was huge courtesy the high exchange rate which many people complain about.

Here are sure two things these smart Nigerians have been doin and this is how you too can join them.

Business / Dangerous Mindsets No Serious Nigerian Should Have In 2018 by ugojibaby: 6:31pm On Feb 12, 2018
[img]https://4.bp..com/-4vnUKt_va1I/WoHNfch63GI/AAAAAAAAAJA/fQC2xjcxnK0_9z50Z89juhHZ8R8EuwkQQCLcBGAs/s1600/change-your-mindset-make-money-online-NIgeria.jpg[/img]

The word “mindset” is a combination of the words “mind” and “set”. A layman yet effective definition of mindset from that combination would be “the way/manner the human mind is conditioned (set)”. While ownership of a mind is a privilege bestowed on all humans by Supreme Intelligence which ensures equality, the use of that mind has made segregated humanity and now determines who succeeds or fails.

Henry Ford understood this when he said, “if you think you can do it or you think you can’t do it, you’re right.” It essentially means many people fail or succeed in life simply because of their mentality.

The interesting thing about mindset is that they are not always consciously formed. Sometimes, our ways of reasoning and perspective on issues are not products of our critical thinking but what we simply picked up from others consciously or unconsciously. Such mindsets are referred to as adopted mindsets.

As we Nigerians say it, “country hard.” It’s therefore pointless holding on to any mindset that doesn’t produce result. Here are the worst 5 mindsets most Nigerians have and need to drop.

1. Somebody-owes-me-help mentality
Many Nigerians grew up with the notion that somebody owes them assistance and it is that person’s responsibility to give it to them. So they tend to get complacent and wait for people to act their roles in the movie they scripted in their minds. This is why some Nigerians believe somebody owes them a job or sum of money as aid or training in school etc.

The blunt truth is, nobody owes anybody anything. There’s no written law that binds anyone to providing assistance to anyone. Virtually all of us have been disappointed by people before and those who hold to this mentality will be disappointed over and over again. People must wake up to the reality that they are 100% responsible for how their lives turn out. The earlier we quit thinking people owe us things, the brighter our future would become.

2. Some-people-are-not-wired-for-business mindset

Many Nigerians have used this excuse to comfort themselves to sit at home even though they are unemployed or underemployed. They believe that luck is responsible for whether or not people succeed in business and as such will rather wait for a job to fall into their laps. Sadly, they end up waiting for years before a breakthrough comes.

Contrary to that mindset, anyone can succeed in business if they give it a try. A wise man once said that he realized that the harder he worked, the luckier he became. So rather than constitute a member of the large unemployed and underemployed population in Nigeria, giving business a shot is a better alternative. There are several posts on this blog that share various online and offline opportunities through which you can earn a regular income.

3. It-doesn’t-work-as-they-say-it-does mindset

Nigerians have a knack of condemning something before they try it out. So when an opportunity pops up, the default reaction of the typical Nigerian is that this thing would not work. It’s as though there’s a wired internal reaction that dismisses an idea before even reasoning it out or trying it out.
This mindset needs to be discarded because it makes people lose opportunities. Can you count how many shots you lost at an opportunity simply because you refuse to take one? Do you remember how you felt when you discovered after it was late that it was for real? What many people call gut feeling is merely disguised fear. Rather than trash an idea, you can try it out instead. Some opportunities that seem too good to be true are true nevertheless and are stepping stones to higher grounds.

4. I-don’t-need-information-to-succeed mindset

One of the reasons why Africa is backward is simply because we lack current information. Whatever knowledge seems trendy in Africa is likely outdated information in other parts of the world. We are all often too late at it.
You cannot become relevant in today’s world if you do not keep yourself updated. And some of the most valuable information...

Literature / 10 Genuine Websites You Can Write For And Get Paid Instantly by ugojibaby: 1:25am On Feb 10, 2018
[img]https://2.bp..com/-hNbc7eJD-Sc/Wn45p_62zyI/AAAAAAAAAHs/-3QB13trpdQWiUNF-FyZR2fL4uFDruhGACLcBGAs/s1600/How-to-make-money-writing-articles-nigeria-online-business.png[/img]

Can you write articles that readers would want to read? Are you looking for a way to get paid without delay for writing articles? Do you have problems finding clients that can pay you an amount that’s commensurate to your efforts?

As a freelancer, there are many challenges that can easily discourage you. Some of these challenges include: bidding for jobs amidst stiff competition, scouring for prospective clients, dealing with low patronage, receiving orders that pay handsomely for efforts and many more.

If you want to deal with these challenges, you have to come up with new solutions. One of the best solutions is paid guest blogging. Paid guest blogging is an arrangement where you get to write guest posts for websites but contrary to the usual pattern, you get paid for writing for them. This way, you get to build your profile and earn at the same time!

Business / How To Make Money By Selling Your Photos Online by ugojibaby: 6:47pm On Feb 08, 2018
Many Nigerians take photos to catch fun and capture memories. Most of these pictures are ultimately uploaded on the social media for comments and likes.

However, the internet has evolved such that while some people are catching fun, others are earning big time. Who says you can’t do both? In this article, you will learn how to start making money from your photos and the websites that are interested in helping you sell.

Today, the internet is evolving to feature pictures than ever. The adage “a picture speaks better than a thousand words” is fast becoming a reality. Thousands of books, journals, websites and brands depend on pictures to enhance their readability and to drive home the message.

What kind of pictures can you sell?

You can literally sell any kind of photo online. However, these photos should be the ones you took yourself. It must be copyright-free and not the public domain photos on the internet. Public domain photos are simply pictures with no copyright on them and can be used commercially by websites and businesses for free.

How do you start earning?

1. Pick a niche
Like every other kind of businesses on the internet, there are niches when it comes to photos too. Every successful photographer has the kind of photographs he takes. An important factor you should consider when choosing your niche is how often you can take shots. Consistency should be the watchword.

Here are some of the niches in demand
• Pictures of people
• Pictures of work situations
• Pictures of cities
• Close-up pictures
• Pictures of things (cars, houses, books, computers, etc)
• Pictures of nature
• Pictures of animals

2. Join a stock photo website
There are many popular stock photo website on the internet you can start earning from. These sites accept the photos of both amateurs and professionals alike. If you’re an amateur photographer, sites like Dreamstime, Shutterstock amd iStock photos are good for you. But if you’re a professional photographer and you’re confident of your skills, you should check out Getty Images or Corbis.

Furthermore, you need to understand that these websites have their unique requirements and themes. If you don’t follow the stated guidelines, your photos can be rejected. These requirements often include the resolution, size, file format etc. So take out time to understand the requirements.

It’s advised you check out as many sites as you can and register with 2 or 3 that you think you can work with. It doesn’t mean you should upload one picture on all three websites as that could create issues for you. Instead, the reason is that you can upload different types of pictures on various sites thereby increasing your chances to earn more.

3. Start taking photographs

You can begin taking photos of people, places or things your creativity suggests. It is best that you take different types of photos with different tones, positions and different subjects. Your earning potential is based on how many people your pictures appeal to. While you are taking these photos, always think like the buyers and consider what they would want when you take the pictures.

You need to also ensure that the photos are of high quality. No one would buy images that are of inferior standard. So ensure the images you select to put up have balanced colour, are not blurry and the details are evident for the buyer to see. Don’t forget the requirements of the stock photo site you want to upload to so your works won’t be rejected. In addition, editing the pictures is advised but it should not be in excess.

Business / Why You Have No Excuse To Be Broke! by ugojibaby: 1:50pm On Feb 08, 2018
[img]https://4.bp..com/-djeA3AGaX68/WnxCae4xb2I/AAAAAAAAAG4/TxwgbU1Wu3g9MNReJI6a9-zElu-7KdlLQCLcBGAs/s1600/no%2Bexcuses.jpg[/img]

Lately, we’ve been seeing receiving mails in our inbox and reading comments by Nigerians on forums and blogs stating that they are broke and how sad they are about it. The aim of this article is to speak to those who are dissatisfied with their financial situation. When it comes to money issues, a lot of people tend to sugar-coat words, but brace up because this is a frank talk.

If you are broke, it’s not your fault. We all get broke at some point in our lives. But if you’re continually broke, then something is wrong. The whole blame ends on your table. You can’t and shouldn’t continue to blame everyone for your financial situation. The current state of the nation and the disposition of the government shows why blame game doesn’t help.

Many opportunities surround us that it doesn’t make sense for anyone to continually lament being broke. Get this fact: we are living at a most privileged time in history because it is easier for anyone to become wealthy than ever. Yes, the population has increased but so has the opportunities!

Think about it for a second and you will discover that many people who are wealthy today are first generation millionaires and billionaires. They built it from scratch! A major percentage of these people achieved that goal by running a business rather than hope for a white collar job (no offense to those who do white collar jobs.) So if you’re complaining while others are seriously earning, the fault is yours, really.

3 primary reasons why Nigerians don’t start businesses

For a plethora of reasons, starting a business is a great leap to financial freedom! However, many Nigerians don’t have their own businesses. There is a variety of reasons but three excuses top the list.

1. No capital

This is by the far the most popular reason why Nigerians do not own businesses. While there are many who have ideas to run businesses, there are equally many people who don’t have ideas to run a business. Yet, “no capital” is the foremost excuse on the lips of both categories of these Nigerian youths. Meanwhile, there are people who started businesses with money that wasn’t their own and another group of people engaged in businesses that didn’t require capital.

2. Unfavourable business environment

This reason is obvious as many companies are shutting down operations in Nigeria. It appears the business environment in Nigeria continues to worsen with the passing of each day. Studies from global agencies have rated Nigeria low as being favourable for business. It’s almost a miracle for start-ups to succeed in the country.

3. No business idea

What can be more terrible than having a business idea and no capital? It is having the needed capital and no business idea! It can be very worrisome because money lying fallow without a target is at risk of getting squandered. Lack of business idea here refers to profitable business idea that identifies opportunities and solves problems.

Could online business be the solution?

While the above problems bedevil potential entrepreneurs, are these same problems existent in online businesses? Let’s do a quick check.

1. Do you need a capital?

When it comes to online businesses, you need little or no capital to begin at all. For instance, if you want to start a blog, you may need to pay for your domain name and hosting. For freelancing, you need virtually no financial input to begin. What of affiliate marketing? It’s the same! The basic capital that is common to all online businesses is just your time.

2. Any worries about unfavourable business environment?

Yes, Nigeria can be very frustrating but this frustration does not extend to the internet world. Provided you engage in legitimate business online, you have no cause to worry about inventory, tax or staff. In fact, you can run your online business independent of the Nigerian economy.

3. What of the business idea?

Getting a business idea to earn online is not as tedious as that of offline businesses. To help you profit quickly, we will share two online businesses you can begin today and start earning almost immediately!

Most lucrative online businesses in Nigeria

There are many online businesses today you can start earning from. These two online businesses below are lucrative because you get paid in foreign currency which doubles income you you could have had working in Nigeria.

Business / 9 Signs You Will Never Succeed As A Blogger by ugojibaby: 12:14am On Jan 31, 2018
[img]https://1.bp..com/-2I3Pd_3Fopo/WnD6ZFLreZI/AAAAAAAAAEg/O-vCfQCKTmg-KHPf7F2aPH_fS3g45arHwCLcBGAs/s1600/signs-you-may-never-succeed-as-a-blogger-696x473.jpg[/img]

Everyone cannot succeed at blogging. Okay, scratch that, let’s put it in another way – blogging is not every one. This may seem unbelievable to many people who believe just anyone can hop on the blogging bandwagon and expect to hit gold. Well, it’s time we all woke up to this harsh reality.

As of 2013, the total number of blogs on the internet was about 152 million. No doubt, that figure would have been doubled by now because WordPress alone boasts of over 75 million websites on its platform! When you add that number to unreleased figures by blogger.com and other platforms, we may have blogs inching towards half a billion or more.

According to a survey by Technorati, 95% of existing blogs are abandoned by their owner and left to lie fallow on the web.

Well, these statistics are not to scare you. They are just to let you see reason why blogging is truly not for everyone. The mere fact that some people succeed in a venture does not mean everyone will succeed. As a matter of fact, succeeding in a venture that is popular can be tasking because the competition is stiff.

Do we have your attention now? Good! Rather than start a blog and quit it in months, how about you discover your chances (or odds) right now? Here are 9 signs you may not succeed at blogging.

1. You’re blogging to make quick cash

Ever since Nigeria’s foremost blogger, Linda Ikeji, showed off her mansion and cars, many Nigerians have rushed into blogging. What many people don’t know is that she was blogging in obscurity for four years without earning a dime!

If your idea of blogging is setting up a blog with blogger.com and then plagiarising posts, and wait for money to just suddenly show up in your account, then you’re in the wrong online business.

2. You’re not a good writer

Writing is a basic requirement for bloggers. If you cannot write your posts, you may need to get a content writer (which is not bad provided you have funds to pay them.)

Millions of blog posts are made each day and you need offer something fresh if you want readers on your blog. You therefore need excellent writing skills through which you can build your own brand online. If writing is not your thing, you need to stay away from blogging.

3. You’re not creative

Have you seen various blogs that look like a clone of another blog? Everything about their design is simply borrowed from another blog.

What they fail to understand is that it would be difficult for them to succeed by hiding in the shadow of others. You need to be creative to come up with your own identity in the blogosphere. If we have one nairaland, then we don’t need a clone because it pointless; instead we need something different or better. If you cannot create your own identity and style, blogging is not for you.

4. You’re not ready to spend on your blog

This is largely common among Nigerians. We want to reap where we did not sow. We want to make money from a system without putting in money. It seldom works that way.

When it comes to blogging, you will need to invest in your blog for things like your logo design, the monthly charges for your email list, your use of plugins etc. In fact, spending on your blog helps you become more serious with it. But if this is too much to ask to you, just stay away from blogging.

5. You’re too lazy to implement promotional strategies

When you set up your blog and start making posts, don’t expect visitors to just show up out of the blues. If you don’t let people know you have a blog, you may not have a single site visitor even if you keep publishing.

You need to attract traffic to the blog and this means you have learn the rudiments of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). You need to promote the blog on social media platforms like Google+, Facebook, Twitter etc. In addition, you will need to network with other bloggers, write guest posts and engage in several other promotional strategies.

6. You have no idea how blogging works

The good thing about the internet is that you can get tons of information by a single Google search. Yet, many intending (and existing) bloggers have no clue about the basics of blogging and the latest trends. The funny thing is they still expect to succeed.

If you’re a blogger and you have no idea how it works neither have you exploited the rich resources available on Google, maybe blogging isn’t for you. Nobody runs a successful blog in ignorance.

Business / Top Lucrative Fiverr Gigs You Should Sell In 2018 by ugojibaby: 12:46am On Jan 30, 2018
[img]https://4.bp..com/-xTXCX3z9sfc/Wm-vv5Ddy3I/AAAAAAAAAEQ/q4KRXuI2lPEqwtIt-LJvNPTQon_9Umo2gCLcBGAs/s1600/top-gig-2018-fiverr.jpg[/img]


The year 2017 saw many Nigerians become financially free and that trend would continue in 2018. The reason is obvious – there are many people in need of digital services than ever. With the population of internet users hitting 3.58 billion in 2017, the digital needs of people will be greater than ever!

One of the places where these needs are met is Fiverr. Fiverr is one of the largest and most popular freelance marketplaces on the internet. With way over 3 million users, you just cannot lack a market for your skills. Due to its affordability since all gigs begin from $5 (from which it derives its name), there are (and will always be) crowds of people who see Fiverr as their favourite freelance website.

Many people hoped to profit from freelancing last year but couldn’t because they offer overcrowded gigs like article writing. Remember what basic economics teach? Whenever supply outweighs demand, the price of the product crashes. If you’re one those people in overcrowded gigs, it’s about time you learned offered other gigs with few people sellers.

So take this as a word of advice: avoid the highly competitive gigs!

So, if you’re looking for the hottest gigs that are lucrative, this article will help you in that regard. So let’s look at the top 7 gigs that would fetch their sellers plenty of earnings.

1. Online Advertising

This is not your regular solo ads or social media spamming. Online advertising is all about professional advertising on Facebook, Twitter, Bing and Google advertising. Buyers want to run their advertising campaigns and need people who will help them achieve high conversions. In fact, online advertising companies will pay handsomely for skilled marketers who can handle their projects.

2. Email Marketing

This is another hot-selling gig on Fiverr. In a nutshell, email marketing refers to the act of sending commercial emails to a group of people (current customers or potential customers.) While this gig is getting popular on Fiverr, it is still largely unknown by many. Business owners are willing to pay good amount of money to marketers who will handle their email marketing which will help them generate sales.

3. Web Analytics

This gig will require a lot of learning from you. But it’s a good thing because you will in turn earn good income from it. It is one of the most lucrative gig you can offer on Fiverr. The gig requires collecting and analyzing web data for the purpose of optimizing web usage. Take your time to learn this skill and watch how orders will stream into you on your gig.

4. WordPress blog installation and set up gig

WordPress blog is easy to install but many people are not aware. They are not even ready to give it a try and see how far they can go during the process. Instead, they prefer someone to just install it for them and hand the blog to them. Their laziness is your opportunity to earn. If you don’t know how to install WordPress, you can easily learn via Do-It-Yourself guides by searching on Google or just check out YouTube videos. You should be good to go in a day or two.

5. Proofreading or editing gig

Business / Freelance Payment: How To Receive Money From Abroad In Nigeria by ugojibaby: 12:32am On Jan 30, 2018

In the year 2015, Nigerians received about $21 billion from abroad. That figure was sent home by Nigerians in Diaspora. The significant increase of digital marketing in Nigeria in the last few years would no doubt have swelled that figure.

However, one of the biggest problems facing many Nigerian freelancers and affiliate marketers is how to receive payment abroad. Apparently, Nigeria has a bad track record of honesty in financial matters which has made PayPal scared of us.

The ban placed on receiving money in Nigeria has been a reoccurring pain for many people and has made some Nigerians incur losses. In fact, a petition was once signed but it apparently yielded no fruits.

If you want to receive money in Nigeria from abroad, you can still do so via the 5 alternatives below.

1. Skrill (formerly known as Moneybookers)

Skrill is one of the top alternatives through which Nigerians can receive money from abroad. It provides basically the same service as PayPal and allows you to send and receive funds in Nigeria.

If you’re having a hard time accessing your money on Payoneer, you can easily transfer it to Skrill after which you can request that it be paid into your Nigerian account. It’s that easy!

Nevertheless, you will be required to verify your account before you can enjoy the full features of using Skrill.

2. Payoneer

Payoneer is a global financial company that helps you withdraw your earnings online and then give you access to it at your convenience.

To make this possible, you will need to register with them, after which you will receive a Payoneer card through the post service or any other courier service here in Nigeria. You can then withdraw your earnings from any bank’s ATM here in Nigeria.

As a freelancer or affiliate marketer, this is one of the easiest ways to receive to receive payment abroad. In fact, you can refer to them as an online bank!

3. Western Union Money Transfer

Western Union is another great way to receive money from overseas. If you work online and you have clients who understand the money transfer problem in Nigeria, you should consider wstern union.

Like every other transfer channel on this list, you will need to verify your account by providing your bio-data and also providing a valid means of identification like your National ID or Voter’s ID or Driver’s license.

While transactions via this channel are fast, transfer charges can be a little exorbitant for small businesses.

4. Cheque

4. Cheque

If you’re an affiliate marketer with Amazon, Ebay, Commission Junction and others, this option is a great idea for you. If you’re a freelancer, you can also check if the marketplace you work has this feature.

Once you request payments, the company (or individual) you’re working with would simply send you a cheque which you can cash out from any Nigerian bank.

Receiving payments via cheques is slower than other options and often takes days or even weeks (depending on your bank) for it to arrive. In addition, you will need to have an active domiciliary account to use this option. Transfer charges vary from bank to bank.

5. Bank wire transfer
