5 Little Known But Highly Profitable Online Businesses by kayode69(m): 6:36pm On Oct 19, 2021
Within this content, I am going to show you 5 little known but proven and highly profitable businesses that can make you anything from N400,000 to N2m or even N15m a month.

I call these businesses "little known" because they are not the generic type of businesses
that most people are aware of.

Apart from that, they do not need a lot of capital for you to get started.

And they are highly profitable too as well.



These businesses can easily make you at least N400,000 a month because that is the lowest amount I have ever made with some of them that I have used before.


Before you begin to go through this content, I want you to know something important.

In fact, I want you to know it deep down in your being regardless of what you think about
the Nigerian economy at the moment.

What I want you to know is this...

There's money everywhere....

1. Sell Information Based Products


I don't know if you have heard about selling information based products before or what
you think about it.

But here is the truth.

Selling information is a HUGE money market that is not going to slow down anytime soon.

Why?

The world is going to continue to get complex and people are going to need help with
figuring out a lot of things.

And the good part is that schools can't keep up.

So, the demand for good and helpful information keeps rising which creates a huge
opportunity for you and I.

Here is what I am trying to say:

> What about how to sell online with webinars?

> What about how to handle a cheating spouse?


> What about how to successfully migrate and work in New Zealand or other countries?

> Or what about how to improve your fertility as a man or woman?

These are just 4 out of thousands of information topics that sell like crazy on the internet.

Selling information online is what I call - The lazy man's way to riches and that is because
if done well, you can have only N17,500 in your bank account right now, no business, no
employee, no house of your own.

But with just a simple information product and a good way to market it, that N17,500
could easily become N175,000 at least within 10 days.

I can't even say how much money I have made online selling information.


IMPORTANT: Despite the fact that selling information is a huge money maker, the truth is that not all types of information will make you money.


You need to understand that money plays to demand and supply.

You can't just think up anything, create an information product on it and expect it to sell.

No.

It doesn't work that way.

Like several times, someone will come to me and say something along these lines:

"Hey Kayode, I have a brilliant idea about an information product.

I want to create an ebook about that is titled "The complexities of the human brain"

LOL!

Who cares?

If you create boring information products like that, only you and anyone feeling sorry for
you will buy a copy.

Whatever information you want to sell has to be about 2 things:

(1) It must help people overcome a problem or frustration:

E.g. If you have access to information about how single women can find a husband and
get married asap, a lot of women over 30 who are single and under pressure to get a husband will buy it especially if the sales presentation for the book is very good.

Hmmm...maybe I should even do something on this cheesy

--
(2) Or the information must help them move closer or achieve a hot desire that they have.

Atimes, people don't buy because they want to solve a serious problem.

They buy because they want to get closer to some strong desire or dream.

E.g. Because of watching too much Telemundo, a lot of women now have certain cravings.

An example is artificial hair that makes them look very beautiful like those models and
actresses.

This is not basically a problem.

But because it is a strong desire, many women spend a large chunk of their money on it.

Based on what I just told you, the big areas where most information is sold are…

Topics relating to:

- Finances, Business, Making Money, Investing

- Health, Weight Loss, Beauty, Fertility, Sexual issues

- Dating, Marriage, Relationships, Sex

Under each of these categories, there are thousands of topics that you can work on and
make a lot of money from.

Today, you can sell information in various formats:

- You can sell it as a simple ebook in PDF format, video, full blown course, audio, webinar etc


2.Real Estate Marketing


Maybe you don't like business model No. 1
No problem.

You might just like this one.

Real estate marketing simply means making commissions by marketing real estate
properties.

Like lands and houses.

And NO!

I am not talking about doing it like the local and overly broke house agents you see
around.

Things are changing and there is a new game to this especially with the internet.

Basically, this is how it works.

You sign up with one of the real estate firms who have a solid system in place.

This system gives you access to their marketing training so that you can learn how to sell the properties.

They also have a way to track all sales coming in from various marketers.

Which brings your total commissions for that month to N1,050,000

And the good part is that - You can work with as many real estate firms that you want
PLUS...you work at your own pace and time
All the real estate companies are concerned about is you bringing them sales.

Now, don't get me wrong.

I am not saying you will easily make N1m a month in commissions.

I am just telling you what is easily possible based on what I have seen.

All You Need Is:

(1) A KNOW HOW accompanied with a badass drive, focus and those other things that I talked about in the intro part of this series.

(2) Sign up with a real estate company (or more) that has a good system for their
marketers.

(3) Create your own marketing system based on what you learnt from the company and what you learn from me smiley

(4) Go all out and crush it
Signing up and joining a real estate company is no big deal.

They won't pay you for that.

Your main work is to market and bring sales.
That is when you get paid.

Most of the real estate companies who do this are in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt.

3. Affiliate Marketing


I am going to discuss another business model that has been working effectively since
Amazon introduced it and keeps getting better as Technology keeps advancing.

Another thing about this business model is that it is perfect for people who do not want
the stress of creating products or actually running a business so to say.

That is because all they have to do is sell.
The business model I am talking about is...AFFILIATE MARKETING:

Maybe you have heard about it before.

Maybe not.

Affiliate marketing is a business model where you sign up as an affiliate with a company
and you then promote any of their products.

When you make a sale on any product, you get paid a commission.

It is as simple as that.

You don't own any products.

You don't deal with customer support

You don't manage employees

Or do any of those things that takes a business to run

The first time I heard about affiliate marketing was in 2017 and I heard about it from a
guy who was always showing his cheques from Clickbank.

I quickly rushed over to sign up on Clickbank and started promoting the products there...using my "ignoramus" techniques.

And for 2 years, my Clickbank account kept showing ZEROS

That was until 2019 when somehow, someone bought from the affiliate blog I setup and I
made my first $37 commission.

You needed to see the way I jumped up with excitement that day.

I was so happy.

Back in the day, there were a few affiliate programs online.

But today, there are many of them that you can make a lot of money from.

Basically, there are 2 major types of online affiliate platforms you can join to get started
as an affiliate.

Joining an affiliate program is NOT the big deal.

There are many affiliate programs that I struggled to join in the past and my account
balance is still reading ZERO.

What I am saying is…

This business model is called AFFILIATE MARKETING for a reason.

Just like the first two business models I shared, the business is in the MARKETING
You can decide to do affiliate marketing solely or mix it with other business models.

Most affiliates mix it with business model No. 1 (information marketing) because it just
flows easily.

All you have to do is sell your information products on the frontend and also recommend your affiliate products to your list of prospects and customers as well.

For instance, there is a super affiliate whose name is Greg Davis.

They also call him Mr $50k a day because he was said to be pulling an average of $50k
a day in commissions at a time.

I heard that has now increased to $250k a day (unconfirmed reports)

The main question at this point is…

What are the steps to making money with affiliate marketing?

STEP 1: Sign up as an affiliate with a reputable affiliate platform - This can be an affiliate
network or inhouse platform

STEP 2: Start by picking one market (E.g. Skincare) and creating a campaign to sell a
product from that market

STEP 3: Launch your campaign and get traffic.

I can't give you any step by step system for marketing affiliate products because there
are different ways of doing it depending on the type of products you are marketing.

For instance, if you want to market Nairabet as an affiliate, you could create an article
titled:

"My Bitter Experience With Nigerian Sports Betting Sites"

In the article, you can explain your frustrations with most Nigerian betting sites, don't name names and end the article by talking about how you eventually discovered Nairabet and why it is the best sports betting platform for people to use.

Then drive traffic to the article with your affiliate link in it.

If you really want to succeed big as an affiliate, here are 4 qualities of big time affiliates
that I know of.

(1) They know how to recognize good products & offers that they can promote

(2) They know how to get a lot of traffic

(3) They know how to create marketing systems that convert the traffic to sales

(4) And they know how to track their results so that they know where their sales are
coming from
--


3. Smart E-commerce


What does this mean?

Smart E-commerce is all about 3 things:

(1) Searching for physical products that solve problems for people or helps them get
closer to their desires mostly from China.

(2) Buying the products at the lowest cost possible, importing them to Nigeria.

(3) And using a genius marketing method to sell them for a good ROI.

If you are going to run with this business model, make sure you do not run it like a lot of
people.

Run it as a proper business.

✔ Start with a huge and profitable audience/market. E.g. Fitness, babies (Moms),
Women's fashion, Skin care

✔ Look for challenges people have in that market.

✔ Find products on Aliexpress that solve those challenges - In fact, you will even
come across many products on Aliexpress that fix challenges you do not know
about.

✔ Buy the products for the lowest cost you can find (You may have to use an agent or other sites for this)

✔ E.g. Some products that sell for N$2 a piece can be gotten from 1688.com for far lesser

✔ Create a marketing system that allows you to pull in people who are interested in
the type of products you are importing. You can advertise using Facebook,
Instagram, Youtube, Google, Blogs

✔ Sell to them

✔ Sell to them repeatedly

If you decide to take this to another level, you might even create a brand name and find
companies that can help you create products with your brand name printed on them
But you don't have to start with that.

You can start importing with at least N50,000 or even lower.

"However the most important factor is for you to ONLY import products that people really want to buy."

Personally, I don't import products until I have advertised it and gotten proof that it is a
product that will sell.

That is when I go ahead to buy it.

Also make sure the subject of the email says: Interested in Smart Ecommerce

REMEMBER: Sourcing for products and importing them to Nigeria is the simplest part of this business.

4. Health Products Marketing

You should already know what this is about from the name.

This is about marketing health products that help people manage their health or get
better.

And it is a big money maker because people value their health a lot.

Think about it.

Most problems can be managed but when that problem is a serious health issue, people
have to focus their attention on it and spend as much money to get rid of it.

Because of this, I approach this business differently because it is sensitive.

We are dealing with human lives here.
So, it is important that you only market products that are safe.

This is not about selling pharmaceutical drugs.
Only licensed people can do that.

This is about selling the alternatives.
I am talking about alternative health products like supplements, tea, herbal products etc

Examples of hot health markets are:

- Fertility (men and women), Sexual health, Vision, Prostate, High blood pressure, Weight/fat loss, Heart related issues etc


Here is How the Business Works:

(1) You pick a health challenge that people have

(2) You find a product that solves the problem or makes it better (Make sure the product is very effective and safe)

(3) You market the product.

(4) You market other helpful related products.
Sometimes, number 2 might happen first.

You might come across a really good product that works.

And you decide to market it.


How Do You Get Products to Sell?

There are 3 ways I know of to get health products you can market.

That is if you are not producing them yourself.
The 3 steps are:

(1) Join a network marketing company with great products.


I am not a network marketing person but I joined 2 of them in the last 2 years just to get
access to their health products.

Products from network marketing companies are usually on the high side unless you are
a top distributor. That is why it is a good idea for you to try and move up as fast as possible so that you can be getting the products at lower cost.

(2) Become a distributor of a local health company:




There are many Nigerian companies that produce very effective and NAFDAC registered
health products but do not know how to market them.

I do not have a system for finding such companies.

But if you come across any effective health product that is produced by a Nigerian
company, contact that company and let them know that you want to help them market
their products so that they can sell to you at a lower cost.

(3) Import them from Overseas

This leads us back to Business model No. 4
You can also import health products from overseas if they are very effective.
The problem here though is that you won't be able to import a lot because most of these
products are not NAFDAC registered (unless you want to register them yourself)
Another problem is to be sure that the products are safe to use.
I used to import some high quality digestion/slimming teas from Holland about 5 years ago.

I was importing about 500 per trip because they were not NAFDAC registered.
And I was selling them for a lot of profit.

CONCLUSION:

I have now provided you with 5 little known businesses that can put a lot of money in
your pocket this year if you act on them
All you have to do is get started with at least one of them.

Of course, this series is not a full training on all these businesses.

The idea is for you to choose the one that you can run with, get more information about it
and get started.

You can do this.

There are many young guys under 25 who are making a lot of money with these
business models.

And some of them are even undergraduates.
You can do this.

One thing you ought to have noticed from these business models is the importance of
knowing how to market.

Knowing how to market and sell is the key to making the businesses work.

Out of all these business models, the business model I now recommend for beginners is
business model number 3 (Affiliate Marketing)

That is because we now have a Nigeria platform that makes it easier for Nigerians to market digital products from anywhere.

Apart from that, affiliate marketing makes your work easier because most of the job is
already done for you.

It doesn't require a lot of capital and you can start it fast.

You can even combine it with other businesses later on.

And the marketing experience you get from it will help you market the remaining
business models that you decide to add later on.
