Even though the Internet was merely invented to connect schools, government agencies and other key establishments, the use has continuously changed, and what we have today as Internet is a platform where people can do a lot of things including doing various online businesses
1. Blogging: Blogs are so popular in Nigeria now. It is not uncommon to see many Nigerians go into blogging for fun.
You can choose to either run a lifestyle blog or a niche blog depending on your area of interest. Niche blogs are blogs which focus a particular area of human endeavour like health, sports, politics, music, relationship, vacancy, cars, houses, technology, cooking, engineering, literature and poems, etc
2. Web content review: this means you will have to acquire the skill of writers, web developers and other web related skills to be able to meet the needs of individuals and corporate bodies who will require your skill in this area.
You will assist in development and update of their websites and will always leave a contact on it where people who will require your service can reach you on. Also, you can also choose to be a freelance writer for bloggers and get paid for your works. In this case you must be versatile and be ready to write articles on many topics. Note that the only person who has the ability to achieve this is someone who reads wide.
One must be able to read beyond your areas of interest, develop new interests in what used to be areas. This is one of the various online businesses you can do.
3. ECommerce Business: one of the various online businesses one can do is buying and selling of goods. It is well-established facts that things bought online are usually cheap. Websites like www.aliexpress.com and www.jumia.com sell things at very affordable rates, but since many people are not computer literate in Nigeria, you can buy from them and resell at a mortar and brick store or possible take it to the doorsteps of your potential customers.
. Affiliate Marketing: Just like I mentioned blogging, you can also create a blog and when the blog becomes so popular, you will use it to make money by helping people market their products.
You advertise links on your blog or website that lead to their own websites and you get paid for it. This form of marketing is called online affiliate marketing. So, you can combine normal blogging for the fun of it and affiliate marketing. Here you earn commissions for customers you attracted to the business you are advertising for. This is one of the various online businesses you can do.
