1.  BLOGGING

Blogging is one of the best profitable online business with no doubt about that.

A profitable niche gives you a good opportunity to sell something or to recommend a product (either digital or handy in nature) that your readers can buy.

You don’t have to be that perfect kind or a PRO to start a profitable blog of your own. What matters most is your uniqueness which is your voice and opinion put together on your blog (these are your selling point).

It can be on advice, sport, gadgets, technology, cooking, travelling, tutorial kind off (how-tos), skill or expertize, etc..

Whatsoever the idea could be, you can create a nice simple blog around it.

Another quick & smart way of making money with a blog is to create a product review / affiliate blog.

4.  E-COMMERCE

E-commerce is regarded as the buying and selling of products or services by businesses and consumers through an electronic medium without involving any paper works.

It is widely considered as the buying and selling of products and services over the internet.

This is not so new as you might have heard about buying items abroad from places like China, USA, etc at a very cheap prices and resell down here in Nigeria for high prices.

This is a very lucrative online business which I strongly recommend you to look into. The profit margin is huge as it can get you up to 1000% ROI (Return on Investment) if done right.

Retail sales from shopping online are predicted to grow to over 370 billion in 2017 and by 2020 projected to grow to $4 Trillion. There is more money to make here my friend.

What I so much loved about this smart eCommerce business is the huge profit margin power and It could be regarded as a low to zero risk to start up.

You practically do not need a physical store, or a business name to start it.

One most important factor of success in this business is hot-cake products and marketing.

So you must learn how to spot hot-in-demand products and how to market your product rightly.

Recently I shared the step by step smart process I practically use for my readers.

Now let’s move on with no 1 business model on the list which is….

5.  SELL OTHER PEOPLE’S PRODUCT

In other words, this is popular known as Affiliate Marketing.

This is a smart kind of business model that involves selling other people’s products or services and earn your own commission on every valid sale you generate.

Honestly, this is one of my favorite business model till today that has the power to earn you fast income without the stress of creating your own product.

Your work is to recommend products to the rightful people and you earn on every sale generated.

The best kind of products I suggest you pay more attention to are digital products like ebooks, online courses, video trainings, memberships, etc…

…The reason is because the commissions are instant. You get paid once the product is delivered electronically to the end users..

..Unlike physical products that needs physical delivery which might take several days to get delivered to the end users or might even get denied at times at point of delivery.

CONCLUSION

There is no point starting all of them or do them at once. This is beginning of failure already. What I suggest you do is to pick just one and work on it and once you have mastered it and it is given you result, you can now add more to your list.

Few things to take note of:

Please don’t try to implement all businesses at once. Master one thing at a time.

Also remember that by solving problem is what brings the money. By helping others solve a problem, you get rewarded.

On the aspect of learning and implementation. Don’t just acquire this information alone but act on what you have learnt. And you don’t have to wait till you become perfect till you begin.
