How to Make Money in Nigeria
Written below are 12 ways to earn fast money as a Nigerian in our world today.
-
Go Into Blogging
If you are short of capital to start any other online business, then you should consider blogging, most especially when you choose the right niche for your blog. Staring a blog has never been this easy, since you can visit the blogger platform to get one for free.
But do not be deceived, a blog is not a fast track to quick money. It requires that you sacrifice considerable effort, your time, and patience as well.
But one advantage that is inherent to blogging as a source of online income is the fact that your blog can be a medium for reaching millions of people on the net. As such, it’s best if you create a blog that could serve as a solution to the needs of others.
-
Do Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate Marketing provides another method to earning well online. And the only thing you need to do is help other people advertise their products on your social media platform, or your blog.
With that you can earn a commission when anyone uses your affiliate link to purchase any product.
You can start by registering on any affiliate platform like Jumia affiliate, or Konga affiliate, and picking a product to promote.
-
Provide Freelance Writing Services
This method of earning is best for those who can write, but do not want the stress that comes with owning a blog
A number of freelance sites pay handsomely for freelancers who are good at writing unique, and good quality articles.
-
Start A Restaurant, Or, An Eatery
You just need to be a good cook, and you can earn well with this business idea.
Though it requires a little capital as a startup, mostly to purchase utensils, and any other necessary item, its returns will more than make up for it.
It’s best if your restaurant is set up in a populated area, like around local government areas, or any other organization.
-
Do Mini-importation business
Regardless of the fact that the current dollar to naira rate is unsteady, many Nigerians earn well using this method. 30,000 naira is enough to get you started in the mini-importation business, and you can start earning from it.
You can visit e-commerce sites like eBay, and Amazon, to buy your items at cheap prices, after which you can import them here, and sell them to other Nigerians at a price of your choosing. Items that you could import includes wrist watches, baby wears, used phones, etc.
-
Do Private Lessons for Exam (SSCE) Candidates
NECO, JAMB, and WAEC are still a source of apprehension for many students, and their parents will gladly pay you to tutor them, so that they can pass these exams.
If you are a good mathematician, or an expert in English language, then you can approach the parents around your area, or in your church, and inquire if they require an English, or Math tutor for their kids.
Youth Corpers are more likely to benefit from this area.
-
Go Into Driving Business
You just need the ability to drive, a car, or a bus of your own with which you can convey your passengers to their destinations, and you are set. You could also get someone to drive the vehicle for you, or you can rent it out on hire-purchase after agreeing on your weekly allowance. It is very easy to earn from this business, and it pays well too.
A poultry farmer can easily earn from rearing chickens. And the good part is that these birds mature easily, and are always well sought after.
Easter, Christmas, parties, and other social events will always require these birds to make them complete. Poultry farmers can earn well during these periods, and the sales from their eggs can also supplement your income.
-
Sell Your Used Items
An average Nigerian loves getting original items cheaply. You could make decent earnings from selling used clothes, phones, shoes, and phone cases. But eking out a decent living from this business idea needs a good network of customers.
-
Start Transportation Business
As far as you are clear on all the necessary knowledge, you can start your own transportation business. Gather the necessary finances, approach qualified drivers, and terminal managers, and you have got your own transportation business running. As far as you are in Nigeria, you can’t go wrong with a transportation business.
-
Start Information Products Selling business
The internet is filled with numerous ebooks some of which are free yet highly educative and teach how to do many things online and/or offline. You can simply get these eBooks, package/repackage them and sell them to people with your phone or laptop if you own or have access to one.
With less than N1000 you can get a pack filled with ebooks on key issues, run a small low-cost advert on Facebook or any other social media and sell the product to your target audience for as low as N500.
For the start, you could deliver the eBooks to your customers via email. If you can get 10 people to buy your ebooks in a day (since the price is cheap), you’d make at least N5000 daily.
-
Start A Relaxation Center, Or A Lounge
In very developed cities like Abuja, and Lagos, a lounge is a very good idea. Since most workers would love a setting in which they can cool their jets after a rather stressful day, or an equally stressful week. You could double your income when you also make it a viewing center.
Conclusion
