"How" is the big word when it comes to making money online in Nigeria.
How come it's possible to make money online while I'm still sitting here at the office for an 8 - 5 pm job?
How come people say it's possible to make money online where there are a lot of young people at markets like Oshodi and Yaba struggling to earn a daily living?
If it were possible to make money online, then perhaps people will not be coming from the North to drive Okada in Lagos nor will people be going to Abuja from the East lobbying for contracts. If it were really possible, then why do many young people go about the streets of Lagos and Abuja looking for jobs? If it were really easy to make money online, then a lot of our youths would not be doing 419 or cybercrime.
If it were really possible then how much have you made online?
I hope this is not another online money making scam you want to sell to Nigerians?
There may be a million and one questions popping in your minds as a you read this blog on how to make money online in Nigeria. When it comes to topics like these, people tend to close one eye and treat the message with suspect. I agree that you have a right to do so as a lot of internet marketers have ended up fleecing you of your money without making any positive change to your life.
The bottom line is, only knowledgeable people can grasp this and only optimistic people can see the silver lining.
Well this is what I have to say just like I have said elsewhere;
To make money online in Nigeria, you must believe that you can make money online
Some people may still think that all the Hullabaloo about making money online in Nigeria is nothing but a scam or get rich quick propaganda all with the main purpose of selling something. Well you need to get away from that negative thinking and have an open mind.
If you are one of those who are looking for an alternative source of income, say from the web, tired of sitting everyday at the customer service desk, tired of saying "Yes Sir, Yes Sir", the good news I have for you is that "it is possible".
You could make as much as you are currently making at your job from the internet working part time and if one can make that much, then it means that the true worth of your internet business is much better than your current job.
So "What do I do", you may ask.
Here is what I suggest, don't quit your job just yet, wait until you can see your earnings start growing and becomes consistent.
Here are various ways of making money online in Nigeria and you could so it if you are at least knowledgeable about it. You can make further researches on the internet and I would be making more posts around the issues raised here:
Most of them work successfully with Online advertising with the main program being Google Adsense:
- Blogging with Google Adsense
- Online Forums
- Web designing
- Web hosting
- Domain registration services (eg Enom)
- Writing (eg on Hubpages)
- Photography website
- Online Forex trading (Highly profitable + Highly risky)
- Q & A website
- Selling own products
- Selling own ebooks
- Classified Ads (e.g. Gumtree, Nairalist.com, Ngosi.com)
- Professional Consulting website
The truth about making money online in Nigria is that you really need a website if you really want to make serious money. You can decide to have your own website or leverage on other people's website.

I am actually a website designer but I have been trying to lobby for freelance contracts online at Guru.com but I am yet to get any deal. Is there any other way I can be able to get more clients online?

@Emeka, I believe in order to get clients online and generate more income from your profession, it would do you good if you also have an online presence like a website where you can display your contact and portfolio. There are a lot of Indians doing that already and even winning over web design jobs from Americans. You just have to be good at what you do and if possible, charge lower fees.

You can try using Simple Machines Forum software. There is also Vbulletin and phbb. SMF and phbb are however free. You might need to get a webmaster to manage it for you.
