MONEY IN THE BELLY OF A LION

Who was the first stoke broker? – NOAH –

He floated his stock while the world was in liquidation.

I was having a chat with some friends some time ago and all that we discussed was how to get money to buy all that we wanted and also impress our girlfriends so we won’t be dumped.  After much chats, we realized it’s one thing to decide on a business to make money and it’s another thing to work towards earning it. The first I think is not a difficult task but the latter is not a day’s job.

Am very sure you must have read so many books teaching you how to make money online and offline but you discovered, the principles are there but you still have to go the extra mile to earn a few dollar, even after applying all the rules.

At this stage if you still think you can say 2 + 2 = 1000, you are only wasting your precious time. I didn’t realize money was hard to earn until I graduated from the secondary school and started my journey into the University where life became very difficult on campus.

SELLING – THE ULTIMATE IDEA TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE LEGALLY

When I created my first blog, I thought within myself that, immediately I launch this little blog with less than five post about a niche I know nothing about, the money will start to roll in and I’ll just sit back and do nothing… Unfortunately for me I discovered I had created the worst blog in the world. As at then I thought just building a blog and posting irrelevant articles is enough to keep the cash rolling in.

Each time I open that blog, I feel disgusted and saying to myself, ‘did I setup that blog?’. Surprisingly I always get a reply from my conscience which says ‘Of course it was you, were you sleeping when it all happened?’ 

It was after then I started to read other blogs, asked so many questions about how I could make money only and tried finding answers. Fortunately for me, the good writers out there were able give me an answer, ‘SELLING’. Yes Selling, in my search, I learned you are just like a snake that passes through a rock without an impact in the world of online businesses – If you don’t SELL something.

ITS NOT YOUR FAULT PAYPAL DIDN'T ACCEPT YOU AS A NIGERIAN

   
PayPal is a global e-commerce business allowing payments and money transfers to be made through the Internet. Online money transfers serve as electronic alternatives to paying with traditional paper methods, such as checks and money orders, but does not accept Nigerians. *SAD*

Sometimes i feel we should not blame it on all Nigerians for the permanent ban placed on the country not to be able to use PayPal to send and receive funds. You are not just hearing that this company (PayPal) does not accept Nigerians as a result of its misuse and Illegal activities it was being used for.

Though PayPal took security measures just to protect its users but i wouldn't blame anyone but the so called Scam Gurus around.. This category of people are the worms and leaches that eat up other people's opportunity to carry out transactions without running into any problem. 

Offline Business Ideas you can run to generate 5-6 Figures Monthly Income

 
For a while i have been laying more emphasis on online businesses, today i will be sharing with you some few things i read about starting an offline business. No matter how influential the online world becomes, we’ll always have the offline world. That’s the real world. People dealing with people, and so on.

Below are various business picks I believe have great income potential in the offline world

1.  Real Estate Consulting Services:
Real estate business is a very a profitable business. On the big scale it involves buying properties, holding for some time, and then selling, or just flipping it right away after purchase. On the smaller scale it involves guiding people who wants to acquire properties and charge certain percentage of the money after the business is over. These days you can easily find for-sale properties and talk with the sellers and then place classified adverts online and get buyers for such properties, while you make your own commission.
 
2   Recruitment Consultancy Service:
You can set up a recruitment firm; consult the companies that need staffs and the type of staff needed. Then go employ those staffs for them and take certain percentage of the employee salary for a period of time agreed upon by your firm and the employee. You can also help companies handle permanent staff recruitment. The key to the success of this business is that you must know what the company wants.

YOUR ONLINE BUSINESS WILL SURELY FAIL! WHY?

This statement was said to my face by someone I thought was my very good friend. I looked back, left and right to see if I was really the one he was referring to, in the end it was me. I decided to ask him why he made such statement, he said he was only trying to explain something to me and not to discourage or bring me down. All he was trying to say was that many people to set out to establish themselves as online business men and women are bound to hit the rock if they fail to put certain factors in the right order.

See, you want to make money, I want to make money (badly), we all want to make money. The bitter truth is that, our wishes concerning money making will never come to reality if we are not working on the right track. 

Online businesses ranging from  E commerce, Website designing, Freelance writing, affiliate marketing and others will be a total failure if in the course of your business activities you refused to every negative factors that will be harmful to the business health.

In today’s post, I will be sharing with you some key factors that will serve as hindrances to your online business survival and success.

Reasons why your online business will fail

1. High Competition: I would like to point out to you that you are not the only one doing business on the Internet as we have millions of individual doing business at a very high competitive level. This is a major problem especially to small businesses as well as new ones. The bigger ones are not ready to come down but that is not an excuse for you as a ‘smaller’ one not to aim big.  You can overcome this problem by simply:Being clear on what you are offering: Look at what successful sites do and try to it better. Customers are searching through various sites looking for the best value for their money, you have to give them that.

13 Lucrative Online Business Ideas to Consider while Starting an Internet Business

I would like you to note that, there is more to these ideas you are about to learn as they are not explained in detail. If you want to start on any of the following, I would recommend you read extensively about them for better understanding. But in the mean time, below are some very lucrative businesses you can start online and make money for yourself.

#1: Online Classes/Teaching:

If there is a skill, or know-how, or special training you have, you can setup a website using simple tools and or WordPress learning management theme or plugins and offer such classes for sale. I see this as a very lucrative online business strategy.

#2: E-commerce Store:

These days’ people are looking towards the internet for their shopping activities. It’s up to you to tap into this opportunity by simply setting up an online store targeting a particular demography or product, as it may be very difficult for you to build a mega store to compete with the big players if you are not heavily funded.

10 Ideas to Turn Your Present Business into a Tripple Income Source

 
Here is another topic i discovered reading a book about business and i would like to share it to you readers in today's post. Today, you will learn 10 ideas you can use to turn your business into a tripple income source, that is if you can apply them accordingly. In the near future when i will be setting up my own business, i will be very happy to apply all these ideas to my business activities to achieve better results. But for now this is for those who already have one or two businesses of their own as well as aspiring business owners like me.

Here it is...

The first place to start in trying to make money is your present business. If you have a business at the moment, whether it’s a small business or growing business, I dare you to implement the following ideas and see how much more the business can really generate for you.

Idea #1: Turn your customers into salespeople: The best form of marketing is word of mouth marketing. One form of word of mouth marketing is personally telling others about your product and service. That is powerful but it is not as powerful as other people telling other people about your products. When people begin to tell others about your product and services and how profitable they are, CREDIBILITY BUILDS and your sale gets on a jet-speed. If you already have an affiliate system in your business, it’s time to start promoting it. It’s time to start telling people about it, putting as much effort as you put into trying to make sales on that affiliate opportunity as well. Customer referrals can be an effective way to tap into your current customer base and explore new revenue streams.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITH INFORMATION MARKETING

 
Information Marketing is all about providing information in exchange for payment. Information marketing involves the creation of an information product, say an e-book, and selling it to people for a fee.
 
The most important aspect of Information marketing is the information product that you are selling. In order for you to successfully create an info product on any particular topic or sector, it has to be something of the following nature:

• Something that you know very well: A gift, talent or skill-set that you were born with or some skill you have developed over the years
• Something that you have been taught, have practiced and now very good at it.
• A problem –solving skill. Maybe you are particularly good at helping people solve a particular problem. You can leverage on this skill by packaging this service and selling to people.
