yamakuza: Thanks for the support and contribution bro.You have indeed understood it right. I have given a simple example of how a basic escrow service will work.That you can see from my Igbo trader/Hausa Boko haram Buyer and the Police example where the police acted as the Escrow website. lol.... i will try to explain again thus A buyer or a seller haven agreed on a particular price decides to use the Escrow website as their Police. STEP 1 Either the Buyer or Seller may start a new escrow transaction from the Member Account. The fully automated system instantly adds the new transaction to both parties accounts. If one party doesn't have an account, the system will invite them to join using their email address or user id. STEP 2 From the private escrow status page, the Buyer submits Bank transfer payment to Online Escrow Website(Police) admin for safekeeping. When payment has been submitted, the system instantly updates the status of the transaction and instructs the Seller to ship the item. Once the item has been shipped, the Seller informs Escrow Site(Police) from the status page. Note: For an infant enterpreneur startup,he (escrow admin7Police) can easily confirm the buyers money with his internet Netbanking access without having to visit the bank.Most Nigerian bank transfer appear instantly and a text message is sent to the account owner.eg. Firstbank STEP 3 The Buyer receives the item and upon confirmation(done by a click of bottom through the buyers panel), the Escrow site is notified and then the police sends out the money to the selling taking his commission.. Both parties are protected from fraud every step of the way. Note:The police transfers the money using online banking to the seller. Basically,what you need to start of this website is an 1. EScrow Site- ensure that the website is User-Friendly. As friendly as possible. see example https://www.escrow.com/escrow-101/how-it-works-buyerseller.aspx 2.An Escrow Bank Account: A Bank account with your website name as its Account name.thats if you dont intend to use the epayment service offered in Nigeria.You could integrate paypal,moneybookers and the rest of internationally known payment providers.This is just incase there might be a buyer outside of Nigeria. Even though they might at the initial stage not feel protected by the Nigerian Escrow.They will definitely feel protected by foreign payment like payment. Meaning- when they send you(The escrow/police) the payment using Paypal,they are assured of retracking their money back if the transaction doesnt succeed.Its an opportunity to work indirectly with paypal without partnering with them.and you even charge higher fee for paypal transaction depending on how you approach it. Your bank should have an internet Netbank access so as to reduce the stress of going to the bank everything there is an escrow transaction. 3.Paypal,Moneybookers account: If you intend to expand your userbase by offering your Escrow service to users abroad,you might need a verified genuine paypal,moneybooker and the rest of them account.most of this paypal service have credit card that charge just a minimum to withdraw cash in any local cash machine in Nigeria.meaning,it is easier to cashout money from paypal/moneybooker and avoiding Nigerian bank transfer charges and doing it legally without bridging any CBN or international money laundering laws. Note Dont forget to place a feedback rating system/blog to enable people rate your Escrow service base on their experience.This will help you attract international users and thus international payment website investors like paypal and you might then start a partnership with them or sell it off for huge sum if you choose. Remember An attractive User friendly website front page is necessary as that is the first standpoint of potential customers and determines the degree of trust worthiness/Security they will have using your site. I just figured out another Virgin Opportunity here. At one point in time,people are sending money to and from Nigeria.I see a money market website that help people exchange/send and receive money to and from Nigeria just like Westernunion and moneygram but in this case, a sender must find a receiver and reach an exchange agreement then utilize your escrow to transfer money cheaply on the market place. Western union and moneygrams are in big trouble if this idea is actualized as it is a fact that more Africans use westernunion or would i say there are more western union transfer made to africa as compared to the ones made within europe and america. If its possible to exchange e-currency like Liberty reserve,Payza etc on ecurrency website,then it is also possible to create a money exchange marketplace for senders and receivers of money to and from Africa. Feel free to exploit this ideas and share your opinion and constructive critics. Note: Only Africans can develop Africa visit my forum for more tips http://africanpark.com/ 1 Like 1 Share |

HeroKing: Dear poster, Thanks Bro, Its so amazing to know my writeup could make millions for me.I have received alot of feedback both online and offline and even some readers telling me not to expose my ideas,or their current ebusiness idea but i give them the same answer.Im doing it for a purpose and i feel happy doing it.In life one have to understand that doing what makes you happy makes you live longer. If a reader is impressed by my writeups and decide to employ me as a consultant or research and development manager in his or her company.I simply say Tervetuola meaning i will welcome/accept it as long as i keep doing what keeps me happy.I wouldnt mind partnership with any person,i have the capital,ideas to do so but i have my own limitations too.I am just casting my net and hoping that someday i can permanently return to Nigeria a fulfilled and happy man. Besides,i stated when i started this thread that i wouldn't mind a reference when a viewer refers me during his or her success history ceremony. Only Africans Can Develop Africa. Regarding the link you posted about your website "http://www.achievershostel.com/",Permit me to review your website.I must say if i have to analyse your website base on user base,i would say you rarely get visitors to this site and you might never profit from this site. why? because your site is not user-friendly. it appears like something that was randomly produced by an 2 months old quark student. Information wise- There are a couple of Open source free rental script available online.just ask my best friend google. you will be surprised how information can be offered for free this days. meaning,you can build student hostel reservation site even without learning how to program. When a customer visits a site.they want to be welcomed by the site even though you dont have to vocally tell them goodmorning sir,or kedu. If you dont welcome them well,they will think you are arrogant and unrespectful and then continue with another site. That is how a thousand of online business loose potential customers without even realizing it.Ensuring your site is user friendly go a long way in marketing your site to more potential customers. forgive me if i have passed my boundaries.Its always good to tell the truth rather than saying God will send customers to your site/business like most Nigerians do.Then we spend alot of money marketing out business by sending a percentage to church pastors for uncommon/unrealistic prayers. lol.. its not Sunday yet. visit my forum for more tips http://africanpark.com/ |

talk2D: thanks for the concern bro,i sincerely appreciate your contribution. but i like to tell you that i'm aware of the importance of both on and off line marketing, and i also know that my prospective partners would do better by prioritizing it in their plans..this is a grassroot idea that will later become a cinch if properly amassed,and all we need is to start from somewhere no matter how small. I see a great future in this,and i hope my partners are seeing that as well! 1 Like |

Mrnestyy1985, thanks and God bless you for the ideas that you have revealed on this thread. The wireless hotspot idea to be precise. I thought of it few years back but didn't pursue it. Any more info pertaining to it that you can share will be highly appreciated Mrnestyy1985. Hmm, the escrow service idea, make sense die. But I think am gonna have to let that go cos reading the comments on this thread had me convinced that few folks are already on it, which them success. Thanks |

mrnestyy1985: Thank you for your wonderful insight about the marketing structure, I do agree with all that you've written, I mean that's all part of the marketing strategies - identifying your niche. The issue still remain on how to get access to that bulk purchasing of internet. Glo and MTN will sell on wholesale basis, this will become a major hurdle depending on how you view it. Someone on this thread once stated - if GLO and MTN can do, why should they partner with you? As for what's needed, anyone starting out needs a small office space, networking equipments (network modems and routers that generate the wifi signals), unless if you have STRONG computer networking background, you need a network specialist/tech on your payroll. Although I'll recommend to anyone who's interested, CISCO products (routers) are the BEST. I've used their router for my home, together with their software, and man, CISCO has great products. Regardless of it's limitations, I still like the idea. |
