Businesses To Do In Nigeria.

Also as a bonus, I will be adding a couple of mandatory steps you need to take to start some of these businesses on the right note.

I believe this is key to helping you know how to leverage your choice of business and help you get on the right path.

Businesses you can start in Nigeria with 100k

1. Information marketing.

Amongst various businesses to start in Nigeria right now, information marketing is my favourite due to its flexibility and profitability.

This particular business idea is a tested and trusted way of making millions of Naira in Nigeria with 100k or less.

There’s a saying the major difference between the rich and the poor is Information(I’m sure you know this already).

Meanwhile, other Nigerians know this as well and that’s why they’re very willing to quickly pay for certain information they are interested in at a particular time. This is to ensure they seize a particular opportunity or solve an urgent problem.

For example, there are lots of bloggers in Nigeria whose website/blog URL has been banned by Facebook.

Facebook banned url Facebook banned url 1

… and according to reports, Facebook has over 2.4 billion monthly active users which makes it the most popular social network worldwide.

Now because of the leads or visitor’s web owners and even reputable entrepreneurs with online presence generate by posting information containing their website link (URL) on Facebook, they’re so willing to spend at least ₦5000 on information on how to lift the Facebook ban.

They’re very aware of the number of leads they generate that converts thanks to Facebook. Therefore in other, for them to continue generating more leads which result in more sales, they need to lift that ban like immediately.

Now it’s urgent…

But…

You can’t seize this opportunity because you don’t know how to lift the Facebook URL ban yourself. So sad.

So how does one then seize this opportunity?

That leads to how you can successfully start an information marketing business with ₦100,000 in Nigeria. Funny enough the amount to start this could be less.

However, here’s how to go about it

  • Identify a need / problem
  • Learn a high in demand skill or solution to that problem.
  • Write about it and package it in the form of a guide (e-book)
  • Reach out to your target market via adverts (market communication)
  • Get orders, sell and smile to the bank.

In the case of wanting to promote and sell uplift Facebook URL ban guide to bloggers without knowing any blogger, below is how to go about it.

  • Make your information available in an e-book format.  Similar to the one below
  • Search on Facebook for blogger groups
  • Sign up or join the group.
  • Get noticed or create awareness about your self (optional). To get noticed, answer some questions on the group correctly. You can do this by copying and pasting their questions on Google. Read through it the results on google, highlight where you feel appears to be a direct answer and paste it as a comment on the group.
  • After some time, put up a post on how you intend to help lift the Facebook ban on their URL.
  • You can now sell or randomly pick two persons and help them out for free. When successfully done, have them spread the news. The reason you want to do this is that their testimonies will help you persuade others and will make your future sales swift. And they can also refer people to you.

This same strategy can also be used to leverage

  • E-commerce (mini importation) learn how to import from China and sell in Nigeria.
  • The profitable affiliate network that doesn’t accept Nigerians and how to register as a Nigerian and make money. E.g click bank
  • Guide to opening, sending and receiving money via PayPal in Nigeria.  Etc

But there’s one problem with this business to start in Nigeria after identifying a problem.

  • The right coach/trainer to groom you

Needless to say, they’re lots of so-called professionals in Nigeria.

But If you can get the right person to actually train you on this,  then you’re good to go

Lastly on this particular business to start to in Nigeria , Make sure your information is legit and very true. Tested and trusted.

Don’t scam. Or else your present and the future image will be tarnished forever. Never underestimate the power of the internet.

The selling of frozen food is another gem of a business you can start with 100k in Nigeria.

The good news about this business to start in Nigeria is enormous.

And one of them is you can actually start it from the comfort of your home.

The last I checked, an investment of 50k in frozen foods business could generate nothing short of about ₦70,000 to ₦80,000. If you know what you’re doing selling just fishes or fish; it’s very possible.

The only problem I can see here is if you currently don’t have refrigerators to preserve your goods, then the start-up capital could be more than 100k.

Another problem is the issues of power – which in my opinion is a general problem to the majority if not all business owners in Nigeria.

However, this business is one if you can avoid the temptation of eating your goods, you’ll surely make lots of profits.

To start this business in Nigeria, you’ll at least need the following.

  • Refrigerator.
  • Table: for placement and cutting of the frozen food.
  • Short cutlass: For cutting the frozen food.
  • Scale: needed for measurements.
  • Black nylons.
  • Old newspapers or books. Needed for wrapping the frozen Food (fish).
  • Generations: in situations where there’s no power supply, you need this as a backup power supply in other to maintain the freshness of your frozen food.

4. Popcorn business.

Popcorn business to start with 100k

Popcorn business elsewhere could be a petty business. But the reason it ranks amongst the businesses to start in Nigeria is that it’s a goldmine, and could make you as high as ₦500k monthly.

Wait! Don’t get too excited yet; when you do the proper thing by deducting the money for all factors put into the production of the popcorn, it could drop to around ₦250,000. If you ask me, that’s not bad at all.

Needless to say, this is, of course, another very lucrative business you can start with 100k in Nigeria. And below are key materials needed to leverage launch it.

  • Popcorn making machine. (Fun pop 8 oz or ET-POP6A-D ₦62,000). There are also non-electrical ones that cost around ₦20,000 (I’ll advise you to get the machine that works with electricity and also with gas cylinders so you can switch and reduce code when there’s power supply.)
  • Sealing machine ₦10,000 – 15,000
  • Corns.
    Branded Nylons etc.
    For ingredients needed for this business, you’ll need sugar, milk, salt, butter, etc.

6. Facebook / social media advertiser.

Businesses to do in Nigeria social media advertising

Another business you should consider starting in Nigeria if you’ve got the means is Facebook / social media advertising.

I know this may appear odd to you, and I get that. But wait on me I’ll make it make sense in a minute.

You see, one thing I am sure of is there are a few persons around you (perhaps around your neighborhood or on friends list online) that have tried Facebook or social media ads and have failed…

…and there are others who don’t really know about it and their business would boom to a large extent if someone applies the right strategy for the business.

In summary, they lack leads/clients who will patronize them.

This where you come in…

With that 100k you have at hand right now to venture into a business, you can actually take around 20 – 30k to master social media advertising from someone who’s currently in the game.

What I mean is, meet a guru on Facebook ads or social media ads and learn how to go about applying it to small scale businesses.

Someone like Ken Udubisi or Courage Ngele (CEO wine house Nigeria .  Very outstanding personalities.

Seeing is believing right?

Or see one handwork of Courage Ngele

NOTE: although some courses are great, I’ll advise you to do all you can to learn this service face to face. Have the person you intend to learn from act the film in front on you. A video course could be a great alternative. That way you’ll know how things go down behind the scenes. And when you want to go about yours, the processes won’t be appear strange and difficult.

Upon the completion of your course, taste your knowledge on small business owners around you for free. And when you start seeing results, have them give testimonies about your service on their various social platforms.

Also, forward their testimonies to your own feed. Experiment with other businesses, fail and learn, win and grow.
After a while, people will know you for an expert in booming small businesses through social media advertising. And that’s the idea.

At this point, your previous results will do the convincing and you can charge has high as ₦200k (depending on the type for business) to run ads for a business that won’t cost up-to 50k.

This is a fact, and I highly recommend it because it’s not just hard work but rather smart work. Which is key to making good money in the 21st century.

In summary, social media advertising service is another legit business you can start with ₦100k in Nigeria and make millions from with time.

Furthermore, there’s a saying look before you leap. So please do a lot of looking before settling for a teacher/trainer or coach. E get why…

If interested in leveraging this business idea, get in touch with those personalities I mentioned earlier.
