HOW TO MAKE LEGITIMATE INCOME ONLINE HERE IN NIGERIA
The Internet
has made it possible for us to leverage the opportunities it provides
to make legitimate money doing business. We all are aware that it is
possible to make money on the Internet in a fraudulent way, so it is
possible to start an online business and make legitimate money, which is
where my concern is.
It is also good that we start to create
jobs and businesses for one self and not wait to be employed because to
be sincere there are no jobs that can give you satisfaction and freedom
like when you are doing ‘your own thing’. Here, am going to show you
businesses you can start today on the internet and make money, even if
you have a paid job you can still work part time and combine it with
your job without stress. Let us first look at the advantages of doing
business on the Internet.
Bill Gates ones said, “In some years
to come, all businesses shall be on the net, you are either on the
Internet or you are out of business”, this has started to happen in the
developed parts of the world, even Nigeria as we can see now, the use of
internet has improved tremendously over the last 5 years, your business
has better advantage being on the net.
Some of the Advantages of doing business on the Internet.
1.It
requires little or no start up capital: you can actually start an
online business with little capital because this kind of business does
not necessarily require an office or business premises, equipment, or
things that make up your ordinary brick-and-mortar business (i.e.
ordinary business), you just need internet access and about an hour or
two, even from your bedroom, office, hotel room, cyber café etc.you can
do business.
2.Anybody can do business on the Internet; I mean
anybody can do it if you know what to do and how to do it, you must not
be a computer guru, or a programmer, or web designer before you start
doing business on the Internet. No special qualification is required, as
long as you can read, type and move the mouse, you are already in the
business.
3.It is a kind of business that gives you freedom, you
can work anytime you want, at any place, and you can actually determine
your income. You don’t need to work 9 to 5,you can work part time or
full time, which means you can combine it with your normal job and make
multiple streams of income that will make you financially free.
4.You
can start this business with what you like to do, that is your passion.
You don’t necessarily need a business plan. You can make money on the
Internet with what you know, just anything can be business on the
Internet you name it. Someone will always pay you for what you know.
Simply put: do what you love and the money will follow.
5.The
Internet gives you a wide reach to unlimited market. Your customers are
unlimited and from different parts of the world. You can actually
imagine the number of customers (targeted customers) you will have
through the Internet. Think of how many people that is online now from
different parts of the world, that is the limit of your reach.
6.This
kind of business goes on automatically, that means you don’t have to be
present all day to monitor the business. The business makes you money
even when you are sleeping, yes! when you are sleeping or on vacation.
7.You

also incorporate your offline business (normal business) that is if you
have a business running now and establish a web presence for it and that
gives you an edge.
8.There are little or no risks involved in
this kind of business if you know what to do and how to do it. I must
not fail to add here that like every business you need to be shrewd,
focused and dedicated too.
There are other advantages, which can be derived from these main ones I have shown you here, of which many of us are aware.
Let us see the businesses you can start on the Internet now and make money.
Business
as we know requires you to provide good services, ideas, products that
the people are in need of. You can create your own product or leverage
from the product of others. Some of the businesses you can do on the
Internet here in Nigeria or anywhere with or without your own website
using little or no start up capital are:
YAHOO AND GOOGLE AD WORD AND AD SENSE.
We
all know what yahoo and google are, they are the biggest, most common
and widely used search engines on the Internet today. We all use it to
send mails, look for information, products and services on the internet,
you can actually make money advertising your own product or help other
people advertise there product on yahoo and google while you get paid
for it. This exposes your product to unlimited number of people that use
these search engines. This is one of the easiest ways to make money on
the Internet. There are two ways you can do that using the Ad words and
Ad sense. If you have ever searched for anything on the internet using
yahoo or google you must have seen ad words and ad sense being used,
they are those little adverts you see on the right hand side of the
result of what you are searching, they are similar to what you are
searching for, you can also see them in some personal sites, they are
the ad word and ad sense am telling you about, you make money through
them if you know what to do and how to do them. It is very simple to set
up:
1.look for products, services, ideas you can sale online; it can be your own product or other people’s product. You can go to www.clickbank.com and click on earn commissions and see the array of products with commissions you can choose from. You can also use www.vstore.com and many other sites.

the targeted and unlimited buyers that need the product.
4.Set up a
medium from which you can collect your payment online, you can get paid
by cheque, or through your normal bank account, account or collect your
money through merchants here in Nigeria. At the end of every month you
will be amazed at how much you have been able to make by people just
clicking on your advert or even buying your product. It is as simply as
that.
YOU CAN MAKE MONEY WRITING ARTICLES FOR WEBMASTERS AND WEBDEVELOPERS.
Writing
articles that website developers use can make you money on the
Internet, you get paid when you write as a freelancer or a ghoshwriter,
you will be needed to write about 300-600 words or more than as the case
may be. Webmasters need articles because they don’t have time to write
them so they look for people that will write articles that are highly
optimized in search engines, and they will pay them. It is one way to
make money on the net. You have freedom to choose the niche or topic of
your choice you can write well in. you can even write a whole book for
people and get paid for it, You can get writing jobs at www.freelancewriting.com, www.articlemarketer.com and other sites.
YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN INFORMATION PRODUCT AND MAKE MONEY WITH IT
I
told you earlier that you could make money from just ANYTHING you know
and get paid for it; you can also leverage from what other people know
and make money from it. You have unlimited opportunity to make money
through your information products because everybody that comes to the
internet is looking for some information so you can be the solution of
what they are searching for, you know what I mean! These products can be
in the form of e-books, newsletters, reports, how-to-do articles etc.
Digital products as they are called, sell like hot cake on the Internet
so this business puts money in your bank account at any point in time.
You have no limit to the amount you can make on one information product
because Information rules the world!
There are many other
legitimate businesses you can do online and make money, you just need to
start from somewhere and you will be amazed that you are now exposed to
other online businesses, but basically this is a good way to start
making money while you even browse and do your normal stuffs on the net
at your pass time, and don’t just waste your time like that. You have
nothing to lose!
How to start online business
Starting a
successful online business has to do with your ability to discover what
people want, their problems, and proffer solution to them. I want to
use this space and time to enlighten you about some known facts which
successful netpreneurs use which is hard to reveal, first of all you
have to understand the reason why people come to the net, majority of
people that browse the net are not looking for some stuffs to buy rather
they are looking for a solution to their problem, they will pay
anything to anyone that has the answer to their problem. like I have
explained in my previous write ups here, you can make money online with
what you know, or leverage from people that know,hey!let me quickly show
you how best to start your online business.
Start with keyword research
Whatever
type of online business you want to do, you need a thorough research
about it, keyword is simply what people search for on the net, the words
people type in search of in search engines like google and yahoo, these
are words which are highly optimized by search engines, and they help
you to discover the following
1. Helps you estimate and drive unlimited traffic to your website
2. Helps you know how many people are doing that kind of business on the net
3. How many sites have been developed on that particular keyword
4. How many people (customers or prospects) that are looking for your service, product.
5.
How much you can pay to advertise your service to the world using the
search engines and a lot more which you can determined through keyword
research.
To sum it up keyword research shows you the POPULARITY, PRICE, AND COMPETITION (PPC) of the business you want to do on the net.
How to determine PPC
Several
tools are available which can be used to determine this,the common ones
are seen in yahoo and google sites.let us use the one of yahoo, go to www.searchmarketing.yahoo.com/rc/srch/
Click
on keyword selector tool, type in any word you like e.g. gardening and
click ok, you will be amazed at what you find out. What you have on your
left is the number of times people searched for that keyword last
month, and other words related to your keyword. this shows you the
popularity of the keyword, more specialized analysis is required to
determine the competition and how profitable that keyword is in the
chosen niche, like the R/S ratio of the keyword where R is the result
and S is the search, this is vital in knowing and choosing your online
business.
THE SECRET OF SELLING ON THE INTERNET
The art
of selling whether on the internet or offline is as old as man, it is a
way of life, and there has always been a way of exchanging goods and
services for monetary benefits. Selling on the internet is an art that
should be mastered in order for one to excel in it; a lot of materials,
CDs and e books are on the internet which teach on how to make sells,
what am sharing with you here is a proven method that I use in making
sells on the internet which most netpreneurs won’t teach you.
Selling
is a stage in marketing in which your goods or services are being
offered to customers in exchange of money, it should be a relationship
rather than ordinary sales.
There are two different ways in
which prospective customers can see your product, there is one in which
you have to send messages, adverts and even look for your prospects on
the net, this is called the out bound marketing, here you are trying to
let people know what you are offering them, most times they are not
really in need of your product.
The other method is the inbound
marketing where your customers will have to beg you with there money to
have your product, I know you are thinking now how can a customer beg
for a product? yes!it happens with marketing gurus who have mastered the
art, Actually the first time I heard that people can beg you for online
products I felt the same way you are feeling now until I saw it been
demonstrated by my mentor,
I also have had the opportunity of
prospects calling me to have my product. Which of the two methods do you
prefer? I know you will surely want a situation where people will call
to have your product and not you looking out for them. The secret about
it is simple, chose a profitable niche and presell your customers.
Finding a profitable niche
This
involves selecting the area you intend to go into, you must find your
prospects ever before creating your product or service. This is the most
important thing to do, here you make use of the search engines like
yahoo and google to know how profitable your area of interest is, I have
dealt extensively on this topic in my previous article about online
business,you can check that out.
Presell your customers
After
you must have chosen a niche and packaged your product, please don’t
ask your prospects to buy at this time rather you need to presell your
product to them first, preselling involves giving your prospects FREE
information about your product, you have to make them understand what
they stand to get from using your product i.e. the benefits in your
product.This should be clearly written and outlined in an article.
Everything about your product should be fully explained, this is aimed
at building up the confidence of your prospect, the article or e book
should answer the following questions on the customers mind. For more enquires mail goldfacenicolaz@gmail.com or call 07063201020

Sell Stock Photos OnlineThe Internet has caused an explosion in the demand for stock photography. As the number of media and commercial outlets has increased dramatically with the growth of online media there’s an enormous need for high quality stock photos.
Yuri Arcurs is the man everyone turns to for their stock photo needs. As the world’s top selling stock photographer he sells an image every 8 seconds, 24 hours a day (that works out to over 4 million images each year). Arcurs makes millions of dollars each year simply by being the best at what he does. There are lots of great photographers in the world and the barrier to entry is as low as ownership of a camera, but Arcurs has managed to build a reputation online for consistent, high quality and imaginative images.
If you’re a professional photographer (or even just a hobbyist) you should consider the possibilities of selling stock images online.
2. Tweet For Sponsors
Sponsored TweetsSponsoredTweets.com is an online platform that allows you to make money on Twitter by charging sponsors for communicating their advertising messages to your followers. You set the amount you want to get paid for every tweet you make, choose a category and select keywords you want to work with. You then wait for advertisers to contact you and take you up on your offer, paying you the amount you specified for each tweet that you make.
All throughout the process, the tweeter has full control over his or her account, and may choose the wordings of the tweets, or may choose to reject the tweet altogether.
3. Blog for Ad Revenues

Ad networks such as Google AdSense pay big money to place their ads on your site, and you’ll receive a payment every time a reader clicks one. While it’s easy to go overboard and fill every spare pixel, if you place your ads well it’s possible to make a comfortable income from your site.
One of the most successful bloggers around today is John Chow, a Canadian blogger who makes more than $40,000 a month through ad sales and other revenue streams. Ironically, his blog is about ways to make money online.
4. Sell Affiliate Products

5. Write an e Book

Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Kobo are just a few of the sites on which you could self-publish today, with commission rates of around 70% available on every sale.
The number of eBooks on Amazon reached 8 million last year, and Amazon stated that eBooks are outselling hard backs 2 to 1, 62% of ebook sales fell into the Thriller and Mystery genre, so if you feel that you could pull this style of genre off then you will be in for a good chance of sales.
26 year old self published author, Amanda Hocking from Minnesota makes more than $2 Million a year from her ebook sales. Amanda Hocking’s stories about, trolls, vampires and zombies and ‘supernatural teen romances’ sell for $2.99 or for as little as $.99.

If you work from home this may be a perfect opportunity to make a consistent income. Virtual assistants can earn $20 an hour in return for booking travel tickets, interacting with clients and dealing with the daily needs of small businesses.

Ways To Make-Money-Online
If you’d claimed it was possible for the average guy on the street to make millions of dollars online just a decade ago, the chances are good you’d have heard nothing but laughter in response. Today, though, there are countless Internet millionaires who turned a great idea into obscene profit, used the power of the web to promote their offline business or simply worked their butt off to sell their skills online.
While it’s unlikely that you’ll ever earn enough to buy your own private island, there’s nothing to stop you from using your skills to make a comfortable living online. In fact, while the media would have you believe that online success stories are limited to just a few lucky, hard working people who stumbled on a great idea that went on to make millions, the reality is that there are tens of thousands of people who make a living exclusively online. Here are just ten ways you can join them.

10 Last Tips on Making Money from the Amazon Affiliates Program
Written on 8/21/2009 at 12:01 am by Darren Rowse
10 Last Tips on Making Money from the Amazon Affiliates Program
Filed Under: Affiliate Programs
Today I’d like to conclude my mini series of posts on how to make money with the Amazon Associates Program. In case you’ve missed them – the first two parts are at:
11 Lessons I Learned Earning $119,725.45 from Amazon Associates Program
10 More Amazon Associate Program Lessons I Learned on My Way to Six Figure Earnings
In this last post I’d like to share 10 more general and overarching tips and principles that I’ve found can help with making money with Amazon’s Affiliate program. I hope you find that together with the more practical tips from yesterday that you’ll find them helpful!
1. Time is a Major Factor
As I mentioned in my first post on the topic – the $119,000+ that I’ve earned from Amazon has only come over 6 years. While this last 12 months has seen me earn over $50,000 of this it took 5 years of building to get it to that level.
That was partly due to traffic but it was also partly due to my regular inclusion of affiliate links in my posts over time. I don’t promote Amazon in every post I write but in an average week I’d say that I’ve linked to Amazon in at least 5 posts. That adds up to 250 or so posts per year and around 1500 posts over 6 years.
These posts are each a doorway into the Amazon site and over time as their number have grown and as my blogs have begun to rank higher in Google and my loyal reader numbers have grown the number of people going through these ‘doorways’ into Amazon has grown – hence the escalation in earnings.
2. Start Early
As a result I do recommend that bloggers start to use Amazon’s Associate Program early. In doing so you’ll be populating your blog with links into the store that may not convert brilliantly early on before you have readers – but which can potentially convert for years to come as your blog grows in popularity.
The other good thing about starting early is that you’ll learn a lot about affiliate marketing. Most of the lessons and tips that I’ve shared in this series of posts have come directly from my own experimenting with Amazon’s Affiliate program.
In the early days of using it I knew so little and made a lot of mistakes – but each time I messed up I learned another lesson that has helped me to grow my Amazon earnings into a more significant part of my own business.
3. Experiment with Widgets and aStore
I’ve mentioned in my previous posts that I largely rely upon Contextual links to promote Amazon. I find that these convert best – however I do know of a few bloggers who’ve successfully incorporated a variety of the widgets that Amazon gives their Associates to use into their sites.

Similarly – I know some readers who do pretty well with aStore which is a tool whereby you create your own little online store using Amazon’s technology.
I’ve tried a couple of times to use this and have had a little success with my photography one and my ProBlogger Bookstore but know I need to do more with it to take it to the next level.
I guess it comes down to experimenting with the tools and seeing what works best with your audience. If you’ve used some of these widgets I’d love to see examples of where you’ve had them work for you – please share links in comments below so we can all learn!
4. Transparency with Readers
There is always debate about the topic of transparency when the topic of affiliate marketing comes up. Should you disclose that your links are affiliate links or should you not? Each blogger has their own stance on this and with a lot of talk about laws changing in some parts of the world it seems that some bloggers are now being forced to make such disclosures.
I personally don’t disclose every link on my blog in a direct way but do have disclaimer/disclosure pages on my blogs. I also have written numerous times on DPS about how the links to Amazon earn us money and help the site to keep growing and be free.
I was nervous the first time I mentioned this to readers and expected a backlash – however what I found was that most readers not only accepted it but encouraged us to do it. In fact a few of our readers tell me that if they’re going to make some kind of purchase at Amazon that they always come to DPS to click on one of our links to do so! Transparency isn’t as scary as you might think (although this might depend upon your audience a little).
5. Don’t Hype – Put Your Readers First
Whatever you do – always keep your readers best interests at heart when you engage in any affiliate marketing.
I’ve been critiqued for taking this stance lately by a group of bloggers who take a different stance and seem to put the priority on ‘making money at all costs’ – but while you certainly can make money without a focus upon quality content or building community on a blog and by hyping up the things that you promote – my approach has always been to put the reader first.
I do this because I want to build a solid reputation and a loyal readership who trust me rather than simply making money at all costs. I’d rather make less money and still have a reader than make lots of money and never see the reader again. For me this comes not only from my ethics but my belief that in the long term building a good profile and reputation leads to other opportunities for profit.
The problem with hype is that you set readers up with expectations that are beyond what the product you’re recommending can deliver. This might lead to a sale but it also leads to disappointment and anger – the loss of readers – damaged reputation etc.
6. Pick Quality Products
This relates to the last point but is worth stating on its own. The success and failure of your Amazon Associates Program promotions hinges upon choosing good quality products.
When you promote quality it is much easier to be both genuine in your reviews and recommendations and get conversions that lead to commission.
Wherever you can test the products you recommend to ensure their quality (or find someone who can do it for you).
7. Be Bold
It has been interesting to read the comments on the previous posts in this series and to see that one of the recurring themes from readers is that they worry about using Amazon links too much. Won’t readers push back?
I’ve always shared this concern – but as you’ve probably picked up by now the reader push back has been almost non-existent.
Perhaps this is because I choose the products carefully or because I often promote these links in posts based upon reader feedback – but I can think of less than 5 occasions when I’ve had people on my photography site question the links. In fact, as I said above, I’ve had more people give positive feedback about them than anything.
I guess there would come a point where too much promotion would get a negative reaction so you do want to be at least a little subtle about it – but in general I think readers can handle more than we might think they can.
Note: I think the line where readers will push back probably will vary from blog to blog depending upon their readership. For example here on ProBlogger I get a little more negative feedback from readers on affiliate promotions – I guess ProBlogger readers are a little more tuned into the issue and suspicious of some of the affiliate marketing that goes on around the web.
8. Localized Audiences? Try Local Amazons
Another comment that has come up a number of times in previous posts on this topic is that Amazon.com doesn’t work brilliantly for blogs and sites with traffic from countries outside the USA.
A couple of reflections on this:
Firstly – it’s not completely true. I have previously had a blog with almost completely Australian traffic that did convert reasonably well with Amazon. Amazon does ship some products to Australia and other countries (books, CDs etc) so if you’re promoting those products it can work. Of course I always missed out on the bigger ticket items that didn’t ship outside the USA – this was part of the reason that I moved my efforts to starting Digital Photography School which has a more global audience.
Secondly – if your traffic is very localized to a country with its own Amazon store join the affiliate program for that store and promote it. I know of one UK photography site that does very well from promoting the UK version of Amazon. I also know one blog that adds two links to every post he does – one with the US and one with the UK store. I’ve also heard that some people use geo-targeting tools to look at where a reader is from and serving them a localized link for them.
9. Topics Convert Differently
In one forum that I came across discussing my previous articles a number of people reported that Amazon didn’t work on their sites (doubting whether I was telling the truth about my earnings). When I delved a little deeper and looked at their sites the reason for their lack of success with Amazon became apparent – their topics.
Some topics will naturally fit with Amazon better than others. In the end a lot of it comes down to the fact that Amazon is a product related affiliate program – it only works when people buy stuff. If your blog is on a topic that doesn’t have any natural connection to people buying stuff it is going to be an uphill battle.
In my experience it’s product related blogs that tend to do best with Amazon. Most blogs probably have at least some possibilities (for example here on ProBlogger I occasionally link to a book that relates or a computer or electronic tool that I think might be useful to bloggers) but the reality is that this blog will never convert as well on Amazon as my photography site.
