You have been hearing so much about online businesses these
days, everyone is writing about it and there is so much information about it on
the internet that if you decide to google a couple, your brain will probably
freeze from being overwhelmed by the amount of information. Do this, do not do this,
so many contradicting opinions from self-proclaimed experts.
When trying to learn about a new online business, you should pick an online
mentor that ranks well and well, is consistent.
What are the top online business ideas to start from home? What are the best
small internet business opportunities? Do you want to learn what it takes to
start a business on the internet with no money? Then, I advise you read on.
It is no longer news that the world is filled with business opportunities and
startup business ideas but unfortunately; not everyone can see such
opportunities. Bill Gates once said that: “if your business is not on the web,
then your business will be out of business,” and i believe this statement is
the truth in its entirety.
Now there are lots of business opportunities online, but the question is: which
is the best for you. So in this article, I will be reviewing some successful
internet business ideas and in the end; I will discuss the best online business
ideas for beginners to start.
However, before I proceed, I want you to understand that this list of business
ideas does not in any way replace the need for you to conduct a feasibility
study on the ideas and write a business plan.
1. Affiliate marketing
The first venture you can start online is to own your own affiliate store. To
become an affiliate marketer means that you are promoting other people’s
products and services. Whenever there is a sale, you will get a commission and
the most interesting fact here is that you don’t even need a dime of your own
to start it and you get to partner with some of the biggest companies in the
world.
2. Blogging
If you have a particular subject that interests you and you are passionate
about it, then you can start a blog around such a topic. Blogging is one of the
fastest growing business trends on the web and the sweetest thing is that it is
an information-based business.
So no worries about technicalities, programming, etc. You also don’t need to
invest a dime to get started as there are free platforms you can utilize like
Blogger, TypePad, Joomla and WordPress.
3. Online Beading Store
If you love beading, and you have beading skills, you can launch an online
business that will not only focus on selling the coolest beads on the web but
also offer video tutorials on how to make beads (why has no one thought of this
really?)
4. E-Book Publishing
If you love writing and you possess some marketing skills, then you can venture
into information marketing. In this situation, your business will be to
identify people’s problems and provide a solution in the form of an ebook.
5. Do-It-Yourself program
Just as the green revolution is on, the DIY (Do-It-Yourself) movement is also
on. As the economy gets tighter, people are spending less and they are learning
to do things themselves to save money. You can still take advantage of this
situation and position yourself as a DIY expert and start publishing tutorials
on how to fix things, install gadgets and make repairs. You can even write a
blog for this.
6. Advertising Network (Ad Network)
You can also start a company online that connect advertisers to websites who
want to host advertisements. The key responsibility of an Ad Network is the
aggregation of Ad space supply from publishers and matching it with advertisers
demand.
8. Website flipping business
You can start buying and selling websites for a profit. To understand this business model, just consider yourself a real estate entrepreneur; who buy houses at a low price, renovates the house and resells at a higher price for a profit. You can begin by checking out websites that are listed on Flippa.com to understand how this business works.
9. You Can Make Money Taking Surveys Online
Yes, this is a very simple way of making money online. It does not involve too much hard work, just answering questions online and voila you are on your way to tapping into the billion dollars industry.
10. Set up an e-commerce store online
Yes, you can set up an e-commerce or retail store online and you can start this
online business from home without even owning a single product. You can sell
virtually anything ranging from books, clothes and electronics to household
item through wholesale drop shipping or by setting up an affiliate store with
Amazon or eBay.
11. Start Trading Forex Online
This is quite risky but very profitable if you find a good coach and mentor. There have been records and testimony of people making millions by trading forex online. Currently, the industry is worth over $10 billion dollars.
12. Research and sell information online
Yes, you can research on people’s problems and needs; then all you have to do
is to come up with a solution, package it in an eBook, video or audio format
and you are in business. In fact, the overhead startup cost for this business is
so low that anybody can do it. To have an idea on hottest selling information
products, I will recommend you visit Clickbank.
If your parents never asked you to become either a Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer, or Accountant while growing up, then you aren’t a Nigerian.
This has made everyone believe that to become successful, all you need is the following;
Go to school
Become a doctor, accountant, or nurse, etc
Graduate
Get a good job
Become rich and live a good life.
Most of us fell into that trap. We decided to go to school and studied some courses we felt would give us a wonderful job. But along the line, we discovered that we got scammed.
No Job, No Money, No Wealth!
If you want to change your narrative, then read this post well.
I am going to show you some underrated skills that will fetch you wealth. They will make you rich if you just learn and start using the skills for yourself.
And guess what, they are easy and cheaper to learn compared to the money you spent for 5 years in school.
What are the underrated but lucrative skills?
You may never have an idea of how lucrative some of these skills are till you hear from people who are using them to put food on their table.
Graphics Design
Graphic designers don’t want you to know that they make a whole lot of money, so they make you believe that it isn’t lucrative.
The top graphic designers earn more than 300k monthly without working for anybody.
The top gainers of this election period are graphic designers, and you can check it out. It takes thousands of Naira to come up with a single design, and you can handle several projects for several people.
Contracts like;
Rebranding
Logo Design
Brochure design
Banner design
Book cover design
These jobs are so hot in demand that graphic designers keep cashing out thousands of Naira monthly. This is one of the easiest skills to acquire because it is mostly done with the aid of software.
All you need is just your creativity and you can start earning thousands of Naira as you wish. Forget those who will discourage you, I JUST EXPOSED THEIR SECRETS!!!
P.s: Anybody can become a graphics designer… it is one of the easiest skills to acquire. If you want to learn this, I can show you a cheap place where you can learn it practically and start making money from it. [Lagos residents only]
Fashion Designing
I will be straight with you; my fashion designer friend who just started this business makes 150,000 Naira monthly.
Back then we thought that Fashion Designing was for those with no educational qualification – but how many graduates make 150k monthly?
If you have an eye for details, with good creativity and imagination, then you fit into this. Unlike Graphics design which is quite simpler, Fashion designing is for those who can make good use of their hands and brains.
That is the reason it is quite lucrative. The moment you become a known brand, the smoother your way to riches becomes.
Technology Technicians
If there was a better name for this type of skill, I would have used it, but this one makes it quite holistic.
What if I told you that the average guy at the computer village who sells and repair computers and other gadgets make more than the average graduate out there, you might not believe me.
But that is true.
The gadget business is a booming industry in Nigeria already, and every family has about 3 laptops and computers. These devices develop faults along the line, and someone is needed to fix it.
Who would that be?
The make on the average about 6,000 Naira daily, so you can do the calculation yourself.
I may not recommend this skill for those who are not too technical. But if you are, then this is a good opportunity for you to start making money.
Above all, for those who want to learn something simple and yet lucrative, I think Graphics design is the best option for you.
Never underestimate most of these skills again. Till we meet again with another exciting post, go out there and learn one of these skills as fast as possible!!!
