Best Online Business To start

25 replies
Hello Warriors

My name is Chibuike and I am a nigeria.

I want to know what is the best and working online business I can start doing even in Nigeria.

1. It should not require paypal for accepting payments because though paypal now accepts Nigerians we can only buy and not sell

2. I have about $2000 to invest

3. I really need a mentor here

Thanks

    Look for a cpa program that pays with a method you can accept. Start promoting their offers with ppc

      Start a blog, make some SEO and monetize with Adsense, affiliate, CPA. Have multiple ways to get money.

      Blogs are for the long way. And in time they can become a continue source of money.

      I see a lot of persons jump only on affiliate or CPA stuff but as things changes at some point things can get down. I really suggest you if you want to start a business do your homework and think on long term to.

      Why you jump in like that? Setup your blog, spent some time on forum to read few things about what you are interested. And after that you can buy some WSO or get a mentor. Don't be in rush because now you will get a lot of persons that will recommend you courses or mentors...and some time just to take advantage from you.

      For blog:
      1.search for some good niches that you know something about.
      2.see what competition you have in what niche you have take.
      3.after you have a niche that you are sure about it make yourself at least 10 posts (minim 500 words each)
      4.setup a blog and post your first 10 posts. and after that make sure you post constant on it.
      5.start create some backlinks to your domain and posts.
      6.get your adsense approved or what you want to promote and start to make some money.

      It sound easy..but is not. You need to work hard on this and stick to it.

    The only way to succeed is to do what you enjoy. If you enjoy web design then that what you should do.

    I would create a nice website to sell your web design services. Have a professional email address and phone number.

    Use your $2,000 to market your site to potential clients. You can do this via Facebook ads, AdWords, and so on. You could also invest into Solo Ads and hope to get leads that way but this also a good way to build your list.

    Stay away from affiliate marketing and CPA offers at this time. If you are not familiar with this you will blow through your $2,000 with little to no success.

    The other thing you could do is create your own product and have affiliates sell it for you. This is a lot more work but the rewards are a lot more beneficial to you. Again, create a digital product such as an ebook or video on something you know about or something you love to do.

    Start something you're interested in. Don't start something just to start something.

    Any business can become big. Even some forums make thousands of dollars. You can start virtually anything and get big.

    Hi,

    If you cannot SELL your own products online then you can always look
    at selling affiliate products and building your own lists.

    1. Buy an affiliate product you like the look of.

    2. EAT that product up, get an in depth feel of what that product delivers
    and make it your own.

    3. Then create your own version of it (the method).

    4. The better the results you can get from that method the better your
    own version (the product) will be.

    5. Offer to give your SMALLER version of that product away to build an
    email list.

    Then send them to that affiliate offer as soon as they opt in for your FREE
    version of it.

    That way you are warming up your prospects to the idea of what you're trying
    to sell to them in terms of the affiliate product you're promoting.

    Also you can continue to promote that same product in the first few emails
    that you send out to your new subscribers.

    TEST, tweak and look to fully OPTIMIZE your funnel until you have it converting
    any paid traffic you throw at it into breaking even or at least making a profit.

    Now it's time to SCALE up your numbers!

    Now you own a real asset that is an email list of your own.

    Of course you're directing most of them to affiliate offers that aren't your
    own but at least you can start building a list using other peoples hard work
    by jumping on their products and promoting them.

    One thing I would not recommend that you do is to work with programs that pay you ONCE.

    You want to work with programs that can pay you residual income every single month. It doesn't even have to be in the work at home niche. There are plenty of niches out there that allow you to earn residual income.

    Do not mention $2,000 and "need mentor" in one sentence here... You'll get little help that way and a lot of crowd around You!

    Be smart!

    Affiliate marketing with Amazon associates is a great business to start. They have a cheque payment option and it's not difficult, but at the same time not easy.

    You need to buy a domain name, buy a hosting package, do keyword research, build your first niche site, publish reviews of products and articles with your affiliate links in them. I can't possibly explain 1/100 of the process in a single post.

      If you earn the first dollar online then the rest will follow. To earn your first dollar, pull those who are in need of a website. How can you do this ? Perhaps the following few points might help.
      • post free ad in craiglist and many other free sites which accepts free ads. You can google it to get which are those.
      • dont demand money in advance from enquiries that you get. Provide them the service and ask for the payment.
      • provide the first service almost next to free if you can. Your client must feel you are genuine.
      • ask for his feedback once the job is over. Get a video testimonial from him.
      • make yourself available for service in fiverr.com and similar such sites.
      • do this for the first month and see how is it going.
      • if you are following this guideline, keep me posted. Perhaps we can be in constant touch to ensure our progress together.

      I recommend building your list from paid and organic ways. Find a niche that you maybe passionate about or just a niche that is evergreen like fitness or make money online.

      Create a blog and social presence using facebook and youtube in order to get organic leads. Start learning how to use SEO on you blogposts and be smart when doing backlinks or use a service like linkemperor to do it for you.

      Once this is done, start leveraging the power facebook pay per click and solo ads, even the warrior special offers and create you ads so people will see your value or bribe to give away for free in order to grab your traffic's emails to become your leads.

      Leads will then needed to have more value and nurtured by your campaign daily. About 80% value should be given to your list and 20% selling.

      If you over deliver all the time and build that trust first, then sellling doesnt become selling, but instead it becomes recommendations of tools and products you believe in and use by yourself.

      Having a mentor is definitely an advantage at the early stage since it does save you time from making same mistakes and you get the advantage you following what works for them and their students.

        You're asking what business to start and your getting answers that revolve around various business models and platforms.

        None of that is relevant yet!

        You should be doing market research to establish where there is demand.

        Once you identify where money is being spent to satisfy that demand, then you will know which market to enter.

        Then you can begin to think about platforms and selling strategies.

        Start at the beginning . . . not by choosing what strategies and marketing vehicles you're going to employ.

    Here's the process that you SHOULD follow.

    1. Find out what you know about and love doing the most.

    2. Find out how you apply your knowledge and desire to build something "useful" for the people. Solve a pain, and people will buy your solution to alleviate the pain.

    3. Build a business model around that idea.

    4. Build the solution.

    5. Create a promotional strategy. Reach out to your prospects in the best way possible.

    6. Convert them into sales.

    7. Rinse and repeat the process, again and again.


    That's what you should do.

    There are a lot of ways to make money online
    without spending a lot of cash

    Here's one:

    1. Find a partner merchant on a certain service on
    fiverr or in warriors for hire
    2. Get clients for that merchant and get commissions
    from that service (offline or online)
    3. Get more clients and cash in
    4. Reinvest your profits and get a sales person to
    help you sell the service

    I'd recommend picking a niche you are very interressted in first of all.

    When that is done, all you need to focus on is getting set up. (Get an autoresponder, create a follow-up sequence, pick offers to promote etc).

    Then focus on getting traffic, leads & sales. Pick 1 main traffic getting strategy and buy a course on that so you know what to do.

    If there is something you don't know how to do, search Youtube for it or buy a course on it.
