The Hidden Secrets of How To Make Money Online In Nigeria.....A Thread👇👇👇👇

And so i decided to start this thread because i notice that various newbies are asking questions on how they can make money online in Nigeria n they keep getting some funny answers here and there...
Before i go on, i'd like to state the following:
1.I am just giving out free information that you'll need before you start an online business as a beginner.

2. Everything i say on this thread is based on my own experience from what i do and not what people do....
3.Everything i say is my own opinion. I am not a lawyer, not an accountant. I will not be liable for any positive or negative result you get as a result of reading my thread.

4. I am going to type without caring much about grammar. If you are looking for someone who has...
PHD in English, go to
University. Overlook my typos, and read the gems in my words.
5. I only want action takers on this thread. I want you to ask me questions and i want you to implement what i teach you.
That's the only way you can start out/improve on your business etc.
Now that we have all of that out of the way, let’s get started on this training.
------------------------------------------

Now, you might be wondering, how can you make money online?

Let the truth be told,there are only THREE ways to make money online.

Yes, only 3...
major ways and trust me, they are very simple:

==> Selling your own product/service online (personal)
==> Selling someone else product online (as affiliates)
==> Selling advertising space (also called Income from advertising).

Yes, those are the only three ways and every..
other thing they've always told you, hinge on to this. No matter how well a particular sales letter was written or no matter how "shiny" a software is, it has to boil down to the three things above.

Now i am going to explain how this works and how its done.

Now, before i...
go on, I have to bring something to your notice.

I remembered when i was starting out in life. As a young person venturing into the Job market, it was quite difficult getting my first JOB. I was young, inexperienced and also with no qualification. I mean, if you never went to.
University, you are not expected to have a DEGREE certificate.

And so, while looking for any work i could get, i discovered that no one would employ someone like me. It was at this time that i started applying for just about any job. It doesn't matter what kind of Job it is...
i just send in my own application.

And of all the applications i sent out, the only Job interview i got was for a sales position. I would man the telephones and for every sale i generate, i'll earn a commission. If i don't make any sales, then i don't earn any money...
In Nigerian parlance, this is shitty job. Not even the dumbest person i know of would want a job like this, but since i had no choice, i took it. I hate selling. I find it difficult winning arguments and meeting new people so selling (either over the telephone or face to face)..
is something i NEVER would want to do.

But i took this Job and i keep on at it. I knew i had bills to pay, and it's either i make something out of this or I go back to Job Hunting or being Hungry.

And for 3 months, i continued in this Job until i got a better offer....
But in those months, i learnt the techniques of selling. And i'll share them here:

1. Without sales, whichever company you currently work for will not be able to pay your salary (yes you, the one that hates selling).

2. Its not hard to sell. If you learn the mechanics of..
how it works

3. Its the most single important skill you must learn if you want to start your own business (either online or offline).

And that comes to what i want to say:

THERE IS NO WAY YOU WILL MAKE MONEY ONLINE IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO SELL SOMETHING
Yes, i mean it.

If you are one of those peeps who want to learn how to make money without selling something, please don't bother.
Stick to your day JOB and get paid monthly. This is an ocean with big sharks, if you can't swim for survival, then don't even bother jumping in..
You will be devoured.

I have heard of people who want to make money online and they will be like "Can you help me set it up and it will PUMP up money on Autopilot".

Let me tell you the HARD, there is something like that.

If you want to EARN, You must learn to SELL....
I repeat, If You want to EARN, you must learn to SELL. If you can't SELL, then you won't EARN or MAKE money online, no matter how much you try to, no matter how many seminars or coaching you attend and no matter how many whatsapp groups you join.
We already maintained that to make money online, you have to sell something. And i have had so many people asking what they can sell online. We are coming to that in a little while.

So if we look at those three ways:

1. Selling personal product/services: There are two types
of products and services and they can be classified as Tangible and Intangible.

Tangible products/Services are the ones you can touch and feel with your hand.

Intangible products/services are the ones you can't feel with your physical hands, but you can see/feel the value...
it gives.

So let’s say for example, you go to jumia.com.ng and you buy a book which is a physical book, if the book is delivered to your home through any courier service like Fedex or GIG logistics, this book is physical paper and its considered Tangible product.
Let’s say you purchase a book online on how to get rid of pimples and you were able to download the book on the internet in form of PDF to your smartphone instantly , then that is called Intangible product, simply because you cannot feel a PDF/ebook with your hand.
Also, if i design a website for a client online or build an app, it is intangible service, however, if i print a Tshirt or bake a birthday cake for you, its a Tangible product.

Do you get it?
Do you understand?....Are you following me?....Good. If you don't understand this ...
, go back up and read it again.

Other Tangible products could include:Food stuffs (exporting), TV's, Video Games, or any physical thing that can be marketed online. For example, a company that sells Tangible product online is konga.com.ng
If you go to that site to.
buy anything and you pay for it, they’ll get a Nigerian Local courier company to deliver it to your address.

Other Intangible products include: Downloadable Videos, Audios, E-books, Softwares, membership subscription, etc

If it truly sinks then lets move on.
So if i have a product of my own, I can decide to sell it online.

This product could be tangible or intangible. It doesn't matter, as long as i own the product, i can sell them online.
This is the basics of the first way; which is "Selling my own product".

Examples:
1 : Do you know Brian Tracy? If you don't know him, let me tell you a bit about him.

You see; Brian is a personal Development Coach.

He owns a company called Brian Tracy International and all he sells is Intangible products in form of Audios, Ebooks and Videos.
They are Intangible products of what he created as a motivational speaker.
So if he creates something like "How to become a better person" Audio CD, He can sell this CD online. This is what he does and his company makes over $1 million in a year.
2: Do you know Tom Hsieh? You most likely won't know him. This guy has a website called zappos.com and when he started, he sells Shoes.

This guy import shoes and then sell it for a higher margin. In 2011, he did over $1 billion Dollars in sales strictly online!
So Brian Tracy's products are Intangible while Tom's products are Tangible and you know what?

They both sell them online.

I hope the above just explained a bit about the first way. If you have a product...start thinking of how to sell it online now,just like the two examples.
So you might be wondering, Donatus, I don’t have a product, I don’t even know what I can sell.

Hey....

Just chill, that’s the essence of this thread, I am going to help you and guide you to having your own product.

It’s very simple and easy and I’ll share it with you here:
If you currently have something [tangible] you are selling at the moment, then you should consider bringing it online.
A good example is my niece,miss joy who is very good in making beads. She got guidance from me and set up a website were she sells her beads to other women.
She uses facebook and instagram ads to promote the website and She’s had customers call her from Abuja, Lagos,PH and all over Nigeria and waybills the products down to them, something she wasn’t able to do before.

So start thinking for yourself. What is that thing that you...
have presently that you sell locally offline. You can start using the internet to promote it and make more money for yourself.

2. If you currently have knowledge/solution to a problem that thousands of people are screaming for solution, then you can create a product to solve it
This product is called Information products.

Let’s say for example, you know how to use home remedy to cure weak erection or you know how to get Canadian Visa or you are very knowledgeable on “How to set up a fish farming business” or “how to last long in bed”, then you can...
create your own information product showing people PRACTICALLY how to solve these problems.

You can do that in three forms:
A: You can create an ebook/pdf that shows how to solve that problem
B. You can create a video that shows how to do it visually.
C. You can create an..
Audio that will teach it step by step.

If you notice, a lot of information are created in form of EBooks. To create this, all you need is Microsoft Word and something called a PDF converter. This means, once you write your book using Microsoft word, you can then convert it to
PDF using the PDF converter.
A simple google search will give you tons of free pdf converter.

For the video, you can create it using a software called CAMTASIA. It’s a software that can record anything you are showing on your computer screen.

SO lets say you are creating
an information product on “How to build an app”, then you can use CAMTASIA software to record what you are teaching and then after you record it, you can edit the recording and sell it as a video.

Audio: You can use your laptop to record an Audio on “How to last 30mins in bed”.
Trust me, there are some guys 2 minutes indomie men that cant last 1 minute in bed.
So if you are very good at these things, then you can simply get an Audio recording software online and use it to record yourself teaching someone how to "last up to 30 mins in bed"
A good software you can use to do this is Audacity. With this software, I have done a lot of Audio recordings.

You can even use the voice recorder on your smartphone

Funny thing is, you don’t need to be perfect at doing recordings.

Individuals who are looking for...
solutions to their problem don’t care how sexy you voice is or how vocally good you are, as long as you can solve their problems.

So I have explained here how it’s possible to start selling your own personal products online.

Its either you bring what you sell offline to the...
internet to sell, or you create information products in form of AUDIO, VIDEO or EBOOK and then you can sell it online too.
I explained that you’ll need to be creating a product/infoproduct on topics that are solutions to a problem that people are DESPERATELY looking to solve.
If you want to create a product on “How to have a good hair cut”, you sales will be very poor! However, if you create
“How to get a Canadian work permit as a Nurse/Teacher In Nigeria”, then you most likely will sell lots of your products because lots of Nigerians are hungry for
information on how to get out of this country.

I hope you got something from this thread?

In few days time,i will take you deeper and i will show you “what kind of information products you can sell and how to sell them”.

I will also delve into hardcore marketing too.
Till then,let me rest a little.

You can ask any questions if you re not clear.

Enjoy....
