Business Ideas for Capital Range (100,000 - 350,000) Passion: Those interested in Video Making THE IDEA: (www.facebook.com/ideamerchant) Most of the time people think that to make a video you need powerful cameras, camera directors, stage directors, or producers, and at the end they get discouraged from the very simple ideas that can spring them into millions. Humans love to see new stuff, maybe something cooler than what they are used to seeing daily. Most time they will be willing to pay for it, if it will teach or inform them on how to get a particular thing done, or show them how to solve a problem. YouTube discovered this problem and solved it and so people can now have access to free videos online. Cool stuff. But the challenge and the business opportunity lies in the fact that most of Nigerian youths or Adults who have access to internet are so careful spending their data commonly called 'MB' on streaming these fred videos or even downloading them, plus you are all aware that the longer the video's duration, the higher the size. As a result, most Nigerian consider these free videos not still free because you still have to spend your mb to get something free.. No way! Exploring the different areas Where you can specialize on video making and sell them in Vcd's or Dvds or on nokia, apple, Blackberry stores for a fee, we have several categories as listed below, but i'll list 3 here: 1, Educational Contents: Educational contents such as Video Tutorials on tough courses for secondary and university students. A student who misses classes, or have poor understanding when taught in class, or feels too proud to learn from class mates would prefer to listen to comprehensive and professionally made video tutorial on the course especially if the entrepreneur takes proper time to make the video rock solid with good content. And like you know, students talk about cool stuff. A satisfied student will tell plenty other students and will help you rise financially. You may not be so educated to voice or feature in these educational videos, you can ofcourse hire part time workers and pay them after their job. 2) How to Videos: How to videos are popular for Free on the internet but most of the things being taught on how to Videos online are mostly related to the white problems and nothing really on black, and like i mentioned earlier, nigerian web browsers are either afraid to spend their mb or their phones aint capable of streaming videos, so here is a niche for you to capitalize on.. Making videos of how you made your first 200,000 as a documentary won't be a bad idea to sell in cd shops or videos of how to prepare a local soup etc.. And to make your content safe from copyright thieves, you can have customers get authorized dealers address from your web site or introduce a pin technology. You can so handle the sales with some staff that in 6 months, if your product goes viral like PSY GANGNAM STYLE VIDEO, you won't just hit a billion sales but maybe a few billion bucks, it all depends on your creativity and passion. 3) Job and Business Tutorials: A friend on twitter once asked me which is more difficult to find, A Job, A Virgin or True Love in Nigeria. There are a lot of job seekers, and people willing to start up business. I tell you, most of the job seekers out there just know they need a job but don't know what exactly they need. You can do videos and get these job seekers informed and exposed to the real world, get professionals interviewed for free and make your video into a documentary, hit CV's, hit the Interview process, do demos of Interview in your video. Be creative. Then roll out your videos to Dvds, apple stores, nokia stores, other video stores online and physically and keep your atm card handy always. Start up for Video making is not too high. A good camera from 20 mega pixels can start the job, good vocalists and jobless potential actors or screen players can offer you cheap labour. The studio men and the production process will spare you, but at the end your creativity and sales team will win you the bank credit alerts. Am Jimlove, Idea Merchant. More ideas soon. Pls follow on fb and twitter, and on nairaland. God bless. |

Story of a Mobile App Successful Entrepreneur by Benny HSU Here’s a quick question for you… What’s a huge obstacle that prevents most people from earning more money? The answer… Coming up with a good idea. We often never start projects that could make us money because we want a “perfect” idea. We think that our idea needs to be unique. Or we think that our idea can’t be any good because someone else has already done it. Don’t get me wrong, it can be hard to think of an idea that will make more money. But if you think that your idea needs to be new or unique, I’m going to prove that mindset completely wrong. You don’t need to be the first person to think of a brilliant idea. In fact, it might be better if you’re not the first. Google wasn’t the first search engine. Facebook wasn’t the first social network. Even Silly Bandz (those crazy rubber bands that kids love) evolved out of a similar product. Today, each business stands out as the best in their market despite entering an industry filled with successful competitors. But you don’t have to be a startup with millions of dollars to make money in competitive markets. In fact, I recently used an old idea to make more than $30,000 in 30 days. How did I do it? Keep reading… Finding a way to make more money I have wanted to create an iPhone app for well over a year. Being a big fan of the iPhone, it was a dream of mine and something that I thought would be cool. Plus, I figured I could make a little money from it too. Right away, I ran into a major problem. I had no idea how to program an app! I didn’t know a single line of code. I picked up some books and tried to learn, but the programming language was too difficult for me. So, I put that dream on hold and moved on with life. It wasn’t until I found Pat Flynn’s blog, Smart Passive Income, that I found a way to make my dream come true. Pat and his business partner started an iPhone app company and outsourced all the work. I had no idea that iPhone app creation could be outsourced. (Editor’s Note: You can read more about how to outsource iPhone apps.) Pat’s side business was bringing in thousands of dollars per month. The more I read about his experience, the more confidence it gave me that I could do the same. One problem solved. Now I needed an idea. The creation of Photo365 The idea came naturally to me. Sometimes the best ideas come that way instead of sitting down and thinking so hard about it. I had downloaded an app that let me save one photo per day in a calendar. It wasn’t bad. The person who created it did a great job of programming it himself. I used it for two months, but I felt like the app could be better. There were no graphics. The only colors were black and white. It didn’t look like the polished iPhone app that users expected. I looked into the possibilities some more… There was a free and a paid version of the app I was using. The free version had tons of reviews, so it seemed like something users wanted. Some of the bad reviews mentioned that people wanted a realistic looking calendar. The current app only showed four days in a row. People wanted to see seven days like a traditional calendar. It looked like there was a market for this type of app and I knew how I could improve the app. Plus, I knew that there was a community of people who saved a photo a day and posted it on their blog or social media. I knew that if I tried to reach all of the photography fans, then I would probably reach no one … but this idea was targeted enough that it might work. Time for my next concern… How did the competition look? I did a search in the App Store to find similar apps. At the time, the app I was using was the only app available in this niche. Little competition in a targeted marketed. Perfect. This meant that I had an idea and a way to outsource the creation of the app. I decided to call it Photo365. Outsourcing the creation of the app I had never outsourced an iPhone app before, so I bought an ebook that Pat Flynn recommended on outsourcing the development of an iPhone app. It was written by two guys who had been through the process many times and created a six–figure a year business. Once I knew what to do, I posted my job on Elance.com, sorted through the bids, reviewed each company, and finally settled on one. It took six months from the day I accepted a bid until my app was available for purchase. Photo365 goes live. My app was released on Thursday, August 11. Other than sharing my app with my Facebook and Twitter friends, I didn’t do any advertising or build any hype. It cost me $2020 to make the app. At a minimum, I wanted to make my initial investment back. The worst case scenario was that I wouldn’t make a penny back. If that happened, I told myself that I would be alright with that and I would chalk it up as a learning experience. The whole time, I made sure that I didn’t spend more money than I could afford to lose. Most apps will never make money and simply having an app doesn’t guarantee success. During the first week, I was featured with all of the other new apps in the Photography category. The App Store is constantly promoting the newest apps, so I knew that most of my sales would come from being seen in the new app category and keyword searches in the App Store. In the first four days, I earned $904.29. That was completely beyond my expectations! After that first weekend, however, I saw sales decline each day. On Wednesday — one week after launching — I earned a low of $65. I was a bit disheartened after seeing such huge sales figures early on … but little did I know, the exciting part was just beginning. My big break One day after earning $65, I got a big surprise and saw that my app was featured in the “New and Noteworthy” section. In terms of being featured in the App Store, the “New and Noteworthy” section would be a silver medal. Only 35 apps get selected each week for this category. This section shows up on the front page of the App Store. Not only did I get featured, but I was in the #2 slot. I knew that this would boost visibility and increase sales, but I didn’t know how much it would impact things. My sales increased ten times and I went from $65 to $650 on the first day I was featured. On the remaining days, I averaged $1300 in sales. This was unbelievable. It gets better… I thought my amazing week would be the end of my time in the spotlight, but a few days later I received an email from the App Store marketing team saying that they liked my app and wanted art assets. They couldn’t promise that they would use them, but they wanted them on hand just in case. I re–read the email numerous times. I couldn’t believe it! I did a Google search and only found one mention of an email like this one. I knew this was a rare offer. They only gave me 19 hours to respond. I knew the art had to look very professional for there to be any chance of it being used. I called my brother, who is a Photoshop wizard, and had him help me put together the graphics Apple wanted. I sent the art over and waited until Thursday, when they updated the App store. Would they feature me? I don’t remember what time it was on Thursday, but a fellow developer sent me a message online and told me that I was App of the Week! I quickly checked my iPhone and saw Photo365 right there on the front page. I jumped up and screamed as if I had hit the jackpot! I was the top featured app in the App Store! That week alone I did over $15,000 in sales. It was an amazing feeling to wake up and check sales figures every day. I was like a kid the night before Christmas. Every night I couldn’t sleep because of anticipation of the sales reports in the morning. That week, Photo365 ranked as high as #22 in the entire App Store. That’s an accomplishment usually reserved for large app companies. Since that day, Photo365 has been App of the Week in over 45 countries around the world. In total, my app generated $33,232.11 in the first 30 days. It’s about execution, not just ideas alone. It’s still hard to believe my idea turned into something bigger than I ever imagined. At the time, I didn’t think that my idea was that great. It had already been done in the App Store and had lots of downloads based on the number of reviews. I just felt it could be improved and give users a better experience. When you think about your idea for a new side project or a business, it doesn’t have to be something that has never been done before. In fact, it wasn’t my idea that made this a success. It’s foolish to think that an idea can bring you a million dollars. A brilliant idea is worthless without brilliant execution. Source: http://passivepanda.com/money-making-ideas |
