[1] INTERNET SERVICES: why not start your own Internet service providing business in Nigeria and start making Mega bucks. It may not be as expensive as you think. The beautiful part is that you can decide the number of people you want to start with. Which means you can start low term. For example inpx whose website is: www. iwirelessng. net partners with Nitel. So they just purchase a space in Nitel broadband and now they are making money from it. This is a business that will require a lot of planning but like I said you can start with just few people. And also you can start without an office. For example if you could get just 100 Nigerians to pay for your 24-7 Internet service at N12,000 monthly, thats N1. 2 million monthly and I tell you, close to N700,000 will be profits and thats every month.
[2] FLYERS DISTRIBUTION SERVICE: As I was launching www. leakedhoneypot. com, I was looking for flyer’s distribution services that can help me post about 1,000 fliers in Lagos and I couldn’t find any. There are only few people doing this in Nigeria. A friend when he was doing this business in Port-Harcourt was averaging N200,000 monthly and he had no staff. All he did was to advertise his service on T. V bill board. e. t. c. And when clients come to him, he charges them per poster, depending on the location. For example he could charge them N9 for every flier. That may look small but the profit comes in quantity. Imagine just a church giving you 20,000 fliers to post for them. . . that’s N180,000 from just a ministry. All he had to do was to get two or three people and give them the job of posting the fliers where the client wants it. This is a great business that you should consider stating. Companies, Organizations, Churches needs this service. Provide it to them and make some dough for yourself. N100,000 can get you started. And that includes an office and fee for placing adverts in newspapers.
[3] BULK SMS MARKETING: I like this business because once you build a list of potential customers. You can stop advertising. Churches, School, Organizations, Seminars coordinators and even individuals need this service. Customize bulk message means where people can send bulk-message and have it customize with their names on the sender name. This business makes money on quantity but trust me you will make lots of money from it. I am considering starting one soon. There are more than 100 million Nigerians and an average G. S. M phone holder sends like four messages a day for N9 or more. But with your bulk customize sms business they can send it for N5 and have it customize. That makes it look professional. Your client base is really large. Think of getting a church that has 2,000 members. Introduce the Pastor to this service and he will really love it because it gives him the opportunity to reach his members weekly. At N5 each, if all he sends is just one message a week to remind them to come for the next Sunday service that will be four messages a month and thats a total of N40,000 a month. If your profit is just N2 each thats a profit of N20,000 from just one ministry and that profit is recurring because as long as they will keep sending message, you will keep making money. If you could get 1,000 Nigerians[and thats very easy] to send 10 messages a day using your service, thats 10,000 messages a day. At a N2 profit thats N20,000 everyday! Examples of people that does this in Nigeria already is: www. kullsms. com . If you want to start your own, you can go to: www. routesms. com a company base in India that can help you get started.
[4] PROOF READING SERVICE: Have you ever read a book and you got so frustrated because of so many typographical errors? Or if you watch Yoruba Movies a lot, you will agree with me that, there proof-reading isn’t as correct as it should be. That means the market Is waiting for you. It is not a course that is studied in the university. You don’t even need an office or any academic experience. As long as you think you are good in detecting word error, then you can turn it into a business. If you want much information about proof-reading you can go over to: www. amazon. com and search for the term”proof-reading”. There are books on that topic that you can read. This is a business that has a lot of advantages. Like I said you don’t need anything to start. Just write proposals to movie houses, publishers, authors and printing press.
[5] EVENT CENTER BUSINESS: This one might require some money to start. But the potential profit is limitless. Imagine you owning a big hall, where people come to hold seminars, weddings e. t. c. And pay you cash for it. You rent the hall once or better still you build it and then over and over again people keeping paying you for using it. If you have heard of K&G event center. I guess what you didn’t hear was that, they charge N500,000 for using a portion of their full hall. That’s N500,000 and guess what? It is always booked. What of XQZ-MOI, they charge N2 million. You can start one today.
[6]GAME & FOOTBALL CENTRE: With N50,000 in your hand, you can start this business. Just rent a BIG room that can contain about 60-100 people. Turn it into a Game Center where people come to play games. And whenever there is a on-going football match, your also turn it into a football center. If just 80 people pay N50 to watch the football match in your shop, thats N4000. Repeat this everyday for the time frame of that particular football season and add all the football matches that will be played in one year, you will see that you have made serious money. And whenever there is no match, your game center will keep you going. Just 50 people paying N20 per game, thats N1,000 daily. And that recurring. You can even increase the value of a customer by selling G. S. M recharge cards, Snacks and Drinks. As a student in the university, or a sports lover you can turn this into a major business for yourself.
[7 ]LAUNDRY SERVICE: Like I said. Once you start opening your eyes, you will see opportunities. Do you know that an average Laundry service center get at least 300 clothes to wash in a month?. Now even if they charge just N200 per cloth, thats N60,000 every month. Of course a single family can bring up to 50 clothes at once. I personally spend more than N8,000 a month for my clothes to be washed. And I know there are at least 20 people that do the same thing to the guy who washed my clothes and thats N160,000 from just 20 clients. You don’t even need to wash the clothes yourself. Just employ those who will do it. With passion, customer satisfaction and focused marketing, you can build this business to N200,000 or more every month.
[8] MOVIE SCREENING SERVICE: Have you been to Silver bird galleria before and see the way they charge N1,500 per movie? And yet people flock to them daily in their hundreds. It’s time for you to start your own in a place where people will need them. For example if you are a student, starting a movie screening business in the university will make you money. You only need 50 people to watch a movie at N500 a day. That’s N25,000 daily, which is N750,000 a month. To start-up this business you only need a good and spacious environment. Some security guys to keep everyone where they should be. And advertise new movies as they come out. You can also make extra cash by selling Pop-Corns, snacks.
[9] DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHER: With N30,000 you can start this business and hit close to N100,000 from just four days of work!. . . here is what I mean. People go to parties and in most cases, they need someone to snap them and give them the picture almost immediately. Your job is to buy the camera and the photo printer. Go to where this people are and start delivering your service. Just be ready to work every Saturday and Sunday. 100 shots for each day means 800 shots a month. At just N100 per profit, you are walking away with N80,000 a month. In some cases you will make even more.
[10] COMPUTER TRAINING BUSINESS: I am considering starting this business sometimes next year. You will make money with this. Lots of students, school leavers need this kind of information, provide it to them and make money in return. Once you learn and master the skill. Employ few people to assist you and start marketing. An average computer course is N30,000 and if you can just get 100 students thats N3,000,000. That is still not much. Introduce some advance courses and make bigger profits. For example, software development in NIIT is N550,000. Thats half-a million. You can learn such course and start teaching your students for less. Pay attention to this! All examination bodies are going online, University Students are beginning to register their courses online and all white collar jobs now seek for Computer Literates including Security Men at Banks. This means that over 80% of Nigerians must be computer literate to either gain admission into the Universities, maintain the admission or get a job. So, a time is coming where if a family does not have a laptop, it would be a re-proach and I would say mark my words.
