Q4: What are the advantages of starting an online business in Nigeria 2017?

A: Am going to briefly explain the advantages of starting an online business in Nigeria.

a.Cost Effective

This is practically the cheapest form of business if you have no capital and you want to start from scratch.

Take for example,someone that wants to open a provision shop would need a substantial amount of capital to rent a shop,to decorate the shop and also stock up the shop with items for sale,to do this, you definitely money,but when it comes to online business,you don't need such,all you need is to first of all create a free blog on Blogger.

b. Always Up and Running

Take for example,you have a free blog on blogger,and you already know that 24hrs secure hosting and uptime is always available for Blogger blogs with zero downtime,what that means is that you will be making money even when your sleeping.

Visitors will still visit your blog from any part of the world.

c. Work From Anywhere

Actually most bloggers and online business people can work from anywhere,preferable from the comfort of their homes.
All you need is a steady internet connection and your ready to go.

d. Be Your Own Boss

Truth be told,not everyone likes to be ordered around in an office environment, and we all know that some bosses can be rude at times.

Most often these regular commercial jobs pay a little and you have to work tirelessly from 9 - 5 everyday and sometimes you will get shouted at by your boss.

Well why don't you end that and be your own boss,call the shots and make your own money.

e. Unprecedented Exposure

Imagine having access to thousands of unique visitors from around the world visiting your website and trying to learn from what you have to offer.

Apart from being a way to make money,it is also a way to show case your talent to the world.

Q5. What type of online business can I do to make money online in Ngeria?

A: Like I said in the beginning there are actually over 150 ways to make money online in Nigeria 2017,but am going to list the methods that generate quick money within a period of time.

a. Selling Your Goods

Take for example,someone that designs handbags and shoes that are of good quality,all he or she needs to do is to create a website and put all the items you have made in that website with the prices.

Interested potential customers will contact you if they are interested in buying what you are Selling.
And of cause, after they have made payment,you will ship their items or goods to them.

b. E books,Softwares Etc

This is one of the most common ways of generating money online.
You can sell your E books and softwares online easily, all you need to do is to provide the download link after receiving payment.

Once a buyer makes payment into your account and you receive the alert,then you should send the Ebook or Software download link preferably via email address.


The customer will click on the link and download the E book or software easily.

 c. Online Service delivery

You can deliver services online, if you have skills like website design,programming, logo design etc then you need to make quick cash out out it.

There are so many lazy people online who are willing to pay you for your online service delivery, just because they cannot do it themselves.

For example some of top magazines pay for article writing, so if your good prolific writer you can sign up and start making money.

There is a popular website known internationally as Fiverr,you can register and sign up to offer your services from $5.
Some people now claim that competition is now high on Fiverr,why don't you also check out some of Nigeria freelance websites like Asuqu,jo lancer, just from 5k,source gig etc.

D. Sell And Earn Cash

Funny enough I see a lot of Nigerian young youth with a lot of social media followers and they are not making use of their popularity online to make money.

Even if your not a technology geek,or you do not have a website,you can still earn money from affiliate programs.

For example if you want to be an affiliate partner of Jumia.com,you will have to apply to be accepted.

After some days,if accepted you would be able to have access to your own unique affiliate code.
You earn money anytime someone orders and pays for an item through your unique link.

So that means that you don't even need to have a blog to become an affiliate marketer,you can just post your unique link on facebook,twitter etc and different social media, whenever your friend or someone purchases an item through your link,you earn money,its a simple way to make money right?

E. Advertising

Some popular blogs here in Nigeria like Linda Ikeji's Blog charge money from its fans and readers who wants to advertise on her blog.

Apart from earning money from Google AdSense she also earns money from individuals that want to advertise on her blog.

The only bad side of this form of revenue generation is that you need to have a very successful blog in other to achieve such feat,and for someone just starting off in online business, that wont be attainable early.

Q6. How Much Money Do I need to start an Online Business And Make Money?

A: Honestly I think its better to use Blogger blog,its cheaper and its cost effective.

With a Blogger blog you dont need to worry about Web Hosting because its already hosted by google and as for the domain name, you can still be using the blogspot.com extension until you are ready to purchase a domain name which costs less than $10, or N2000.

However  if you decide to use WordPress you have to find a domain name and also a host,and generally you will have to spend more money.





Most people start off with ethusiasm but along the way they will lose interest,so your better off with a blogger blog.

a. Website Design

Now you will need to design and create a blog that has been optimized,and easy to access.

You can learn how to design a blog online by watching YouTube videos and reading tutorials.

If you are using a WordPress blog then it should be relatively easier for you.

To learn how to design a blog,for those that want to use Blogger,It might be a little bit tricky at first.
