HOW TO MAKE MONEY IN NIGERIA OFFLINE
Have you ever wanted to go into recharge card printing business and your mind is telling you not to do so because you will not make any money out of it, if so you are making a great mistake. In as much as GSM keep existing and people keep buying phones and making calls, the business will keep booming every day. Do you ever look at the business names or addresses in the printed recharge card before loading it. How many people print it in your area? Many people don’t go into recharge card business because they think you must be a computer wizard before you can print. It is not true; you only need a little computer knowledge on how to check your email. Printing with the software is very simple, though I will send the manual into your email before you start. I never thought I will expose this business to anybody even a friend but I have to do it because of what I saw in a motivational book I was reading that says: show your brother how to make their own living and the windows of heaven will open up for you.
REASON 2: a number of people going into the business will have to buy the printing software and manual through me, so call 07064595697 to get the software and printing manual for just #2,000 only.
HOW I CAME INTO THE BUSINESS
I have been into the business for the past two years (2011) after my graduation in UNICAL since 2005 without any job. I had no computer, printer or internet modem when I started, but thank God I have a phone that I use in browsing the net. I started the business with the sum of #28,700 with vinscommunications network at No. 1 Adegeyema Street, Off Allen Avenue, Ikeja Lagos. You can reach them through 08063810620, 08099068580. I registered with the company with the sum of #20,000 then and made the first order of #8,700 for 100 units, that is every #100 pin is sold at #87. Since I don’t have computer to start with I made use of one computer in the business centre by installing the software. When my pin is sent to me, I will download it to the memory card and insert the card reader into the computer. The printing software will locate the note pad (about 3kb) in the card reader, after printing I will cancel all the work in the software and pay them for the print out. I will advice my fellow graduates to come out of those endless job queue. It is true that the business will not give you the type of money you expect over night but I can assure you if you start with at least #50,000 (fifty thousand naira) you are sure of making the profit of #60,000 every month. If you are still in doubt of it ask those guys you know printing it in your area if they can tell you the truth, the banks always smile with them. If after reading this and the business is still not very clear to you, please visit me at No 12c Bola street Oyingbo, Lagos and see other things I produce with the little profit I have made from the recharge business within 2 years. The secret behind it is that you should not make the mistake I did when I started by printing above #100 naira denomination. 

There are other agents like BODLINK VOUCHERS in Oyo state. They Sells at #92. Their software #5,000 and registration at #20,000 reach them 08032030090 Email: Info@Bodlinkvouchers.com. 


RINGOTELECOMS
Address; 117 Allen Avenue, Ikeja (Tantalizer Building)Tel: 08032030771, Email: info@ringoshops.com. Their software and installation price is N15,000. You will be asked to bring your laptop to their office for installation and You can order for your pins from anywhere in Nigeria through e-mail. With a minimum of N95,000. you will be taught at the point of purchase on how to use software to print GSM vouchers.

For vinscommunications network, just keep calling their number, but if the customer care unit is too busy to pick the call, I wd prefer you send an sms to the message unit number: 08099068580 for a quicker response. Remember to tell them you are living in Lagos, if outside Lagos you registration will be rejected, asking you to look for other agents in your state. Vinscomm will allow you to use your own software for printing unlike Ringo and Bodlink. You will have to register with all the agents online to be in their database before they start selling pins to you, some of the agents will tell you the real amount of registration and some will keep it secret with a hidden charges like the banks. One thing I don’t like about vinscomm is their being slow and inability to pick calls quickly. But I feel it is because of the large numbers of customers they attend to.
There are other lincenced agents but I would advise you to buy from these three companies for some reasons. I am still a sub- agent as at now because of the millions of naira involved for one to be a direct agent but I am hoping to be one of the direct agent in the near future. For those who would like to be a direct agent (big players) but don’t know how to go about it call me on 07064595697 or meet me one-on-one. 
THERE ARE OTHER THINGS YOU CAN DO OFFLINE TO MAKE YOUR MONEY
1. Learn how to create web sites for some organizations and individuals .Creating website is very simple. It is now very very lucrative.
2. Make money snapping photograph: Get yourself a digital camera by doing so you will not have to buy photographic films, you will only spend only little amount of money buying glossy printing paper for printing out pictures. You will make your money through potential customers in the churches, traditional weddings ceremonies, naming ceremonies, football fields, birthday parties, house opening ceremonies, cocktail parties etc. digital camera is very simple to use and you hardly make mistake since your customers will view the picture you snapped before you print out. The least digital picture is charged between #200 or #300 and you may likely snap up to 20 people which is 20 x200=#4,000 at least for the day.
3. With the workshops I have been to and some items I am producing now I can assure you that if you venture into any of the following you gonna make it: air fresheners, liquid soap izza/dettol, insecticide, hair creams, bar/toilet soap, hair shampoo, detergent, bleach, perfume, toilet bowl cleanser(harpic equivalent), candle, school chalk, others are starting snail farm and pounded yam flour production Etc. to carry on with these productions and how to get your nafdac NO call on 07064595697 to get the ebook

Small Business in Nigeria You Can Start With Less Than N50,000 And Still Make Good Profit


Posted by at 



Starting a small business in Nigeria has never been easy considering what you'd have to go through to raise business capital towards setting up and running a profitable business. Basically, it's all about money money money! No Bank in Nigeria is willing to help small scale businesses, and Government seems to have no plan whatsoever for the citizens who needs business start up capital.

If you are contemplating any business, you are on your own if you don't have enough money to finance it. The worst part of it all is that most potential profitable small businesses in Nigeria needs much amount of money to get it started -- most times, far much beyond what average Nigerian small business aspirants can afford.

Small-business-in-NigeriaHave you ever had a business idea -- so bright that it was just a matter of get it started and the money starts rolling in, only to see the idea die because no money to kick start the business? That's what 70 percent of Nigeria Entrepreneurs experience on regular basis.

Sometimes, the little money you have can't just be enough to start anything reasonable no matter how hard you tried. Because of these, many people are finding it difficult to figure out any small business in Nigeria they can start with small amount of money and still make reasonable profit.I've taken the burdens off you by taking time to come up with small businesses that promises good ROI.

Below are some of the best small businesses in Nigeria that any aspiring Entrepreneur can start with N50,000 or less and make substantial profit in it.

1. Plantain Chips Making - Move around the street and you will see different brands of Plantain chips on sale and it sells very very fast. People just like chewing stuffs and there is no end to it, so if you can engage in the business of producing and supplying it, you will be making good money on daily basis.

All what you needed are: Big Frying Pan (N3,000) Small Sealing Machine (N15,000) The Nylons and Labels (N2,000) Other Utensils (N5,000) The rest N30,000 goes into buying of Plantains and logistics. Supply to the shops and to hawkers and you will be making your money.

2. Tokunbo Shoes - I like quality leather materials and that's why until recently, all my shoes and bags are bought from the used shoes and bag sellers. I used to get some top class shoes for N3,000 by the roadside back in those days when I can't really afford high quality designer shoes that cost N50,000 or more.

Many people out there are just like me -- Instead of patronizing those fake China shoes and bags, they prefer to buy high quality fairly used ones which last longer and confer you with more respect.

Get a nice place where you will be displaying your goods like in front on shopping malls. Go to Fairly used market (Katangowa or Aswani in Lagos) you may go to Seme Border or Kotonou. Select quality fairly used shoes, look for designs that are close to the latest fashion. N40,000 can get you up to 40 pairs of shoes. Sometimes you make profit of up to N3,000 from a single sell.

3. Used Books - You used to see them by the roadsides and you're wondering if the seller are making money from it? Try it and see! You will be surprised at the profit margin, and you will be amazed at the rate at which Nigerians buy different books.

Follow the same process as it is with the used shoes but you buy at different markets. Used books are sold in importers warehouses, locate one and go there to select nice used books, Children books, Professional books, Hand craft books, etc etc. These types of books sells very fast with high profit margin. N50,000 is more than enough for a starter.

4. Office Supply - People who works in offices finds it difficult to go out to the market to buy certain things like Wrist Watches, Shirts, Ties, and Perfumes. Help them do the shopping and charge moderately, don't be greedy like other suppliers who buys fake things for N1000 and wants to sell for N10,000 in the name of office.

If you are honest with your business and charge reasonably, you may even get huge supply contract form some of the people you will meet in those offices. N50,000 will do good in these type of small business in Nigeria and you will smile at the brisk business you will be making.

5. Road Side Foods Vending - If you are the hard working type, this small business in Nigeria may be for you. I've seen people buy cars and build house from this business. It's one of the few businesses that guarantees steady flow of profit no matter the weather, no matter the economic situation.

Specialize in cooking Jollof Rice and Beans, Moi moi, Fried Plantain, Custards, and Fried Eggs. You will be friend of the people and the people will be your friend! Look for a hot spot, like the bus stop, near Motor and Okada parks or busy shopping malls.

Thirty Thousand Naira (N30,000) will get you all the utensils and small tables and chairs. While N20,000 goes for food items and settlements.

Please if know any other profitable small businesses in Nigeria that one can start with N50,000 or less -- write in the comment box below and let's get the business started!

Bill Gates Takes Back Title Of World's Richest, Bumping Carlos Slim

Comment Now
Bill Gates is once again the world’s richest person, thanks in large part to a slide over the past few days in the price of Mexican stocks. Gates bumps Mexican telecom mogul Carlos Slim from his perch as world’s richest, a post Slim has held for the past four years.
The swap happened at the end of the trading day on Monday, after America Movil shares dropped 0.24% from Friday’s closing price. That tiny shift–one quarter of one percent–dragged the biggest part of Slim’s fortune down by $82.7 million. Meanwhile, Microsoft MSFT +0.35% shares rose 0.6%–yes, six tenths of one percent–from Friday’s closing price to Monday’s close, lifting this portion of Gates’ fortune by $88.4 million. With other holdings accounted for, Gates took the lead by just a hair, in billionaire terms: $140 million. Gates finished Monday’s trading with a fortune that Forbes estimates at $70 billion vs. Slim with $69.86 billion.
Slim’s fall from the top continued on Tuesday, when shares of America Movil sank another 1.55% by day’s end, dragging that piece of Slim’s fortune down by $529 million. The price of Microsoft dipped only slightly in Tuesday’s trading, 0.6%. That sent Gates’ stake in Microsoft down by $96.8 million. All in all, the gap between the billionaires’ fortunes widened to $504 million- real money for most of us, but not much to these two. Gates ended the day with a fortune we estimate at $69.9 billion vs. Slim with $69.4 billion.
