With 80,000 naira, i.e., a $530 budget, you can get your brand new laptop and a Broadband MODEM here in Nigeria. The computer will cost you 60,000naira or far less than that if you go for the cheap ones. The MODEM will cost you 20,000 or more affordable than that based on your choice of network.
With the advent of telecommunication industries, GSM phones make internet access easier daily. You can now use your phone as MODEM and your phone service provider as your ISP. Whatever the budget, 80,000 naira does not pay rent for your storefront for one year but can set up your online business for life. Therefore, the Internet business is the cheapest business you can ever start.
*World Wide Access
The internet exposes you to the world. People can access your business from any part of the world. This is one of the advantages that ancient and orthodox business never hard. Today, 99% of business owners in the United States are going online. You don’t need to travel to the US, UK, Europe, Asia, and Africa before doing business with them.
You can sell or buy from any of these continents, even if you live in the Sahara desert. All you may need is to Register a Domain Name and host for one year, which may not cost you more than 5,000 naira, i.e., $34.
What do you think if the 6 billion people in the world go online and you have a $10 product that 1 billion people are desperately looking for? One day, you will wake up $10billion rich.
* Zero or little Business Discrimination
The internet has broken the ethnic barriers and racial discrimination in business. You don’t need to know who you are selling to or who you are buying from; all that matters on the internet is the quality of services rendered. It doesn’t matter whether the man is black, white, yellow, or red. All that matters is the service needed and the service provided.
Some people may block some countries, but that does not make everybody in that country fraudulent.
* Work from anywhere
Another powerful advantage of internet Business is working from Home, from the Beach, from your hotel room, while traveling, and even working. At the same time, you sleep if you are using the autopilot system and software. No more working 9 am to 5 pm in that congested office space with a nagging boss looking over your shoulder. You are your boss in the internet business, but the internet would become your boss if you lost focus. Be focused and disciplined.
* No Off
The internet never closes. It is on 7/24/365 days. The internet never goes off, nor does sleep year in and year out. Your server or ISP may be down, but the internet can never be down. You may be asleep in Africa; others can be awake in America, buying from your business while you sleep.
