Internet - business or opportunity?

[Olajide Lateef]

Did you make moreny online or you earn money online? The truth is you don't make money, you earn it.

Only govt. can make money. YOu earn it.

And to earn it. you have to give something in exchange for it.

So internet is not about opportunity it's about a real business. You have to take it serious and treat it as thus.

I will be sharing several ideas with  you as time goes on. I hope I will learn from you all too.

well spoken brother. Those that view the internet as an opportunity are those that fall for all kinds of get rich quick opportunities and get scammed.

The best way is to view it as a business and like all other businesses, one has to take time to learn it to succeed.

So Lateef as master yourself, we expect to learn from you.

Come to think about it, you are
very correct.

To make money online, you need
to first think of a product or a
service. That means you are ready
to give out something in exchange
for the money you dream to earn.

Only then can you say you are
doing something tangible online.

Now, since you are giving something
in return for the money, it means you
earn it.

In lieu of that, the internet therefore
becomes a place where you do business.

Let's think of it as an extension of
the real world - where anything you
do in real live can be transfered and
then done with a lot more ease.

Conlusion therefore is that everyone
should take of their minds from the
internet being some kind of free for
all opportunity and focus on it being a
business play ground where what
you EARN is in direct correlation with
what you give to others, what you
know and how much effort you put
in.

In the words of Henry Ford: "Business
is like a wheel barrow. If you don't
push, it won't move!"

Woa! now i am begining to see the difference in both, thanks for the info bro, i know i will definitely learn a lot while u are here, cos i have been on one side but now i know better.i will stick around now for more info!!

Wow,

This info is really what we need as Nigerians because most of us see the Internet as a automatic cash cow which vomits out money for people.Even though the Internet can be regarded as a cash cow in another sense,you've got to know how to make it vomit money for you and the only way I know,in my four years online, is by solving a problem for people.

What do do I mean by that?You want to make money online?No problem.Just look around you,people have several problems.You would notice one or two if you are observant enough.

To make your money,find a solution to the problem you have discovered and offer it to the people who need it at a price they can afford.

Bingo,you will be smiling to the bank.By way of example,look at the GSM providers,they solved(and are still solving) the problem of communication for Nigerians.Are they smiling to the bank or not?I leave that for you to guess.

The long and short of what I am saying is that making money online is serious business;if you take it serious,it will take care of you and vice versa.

And to make money online,you've got to have a product,that solves a problem, for people to sell.

I totally agree with you Mrs Iyabo (pls correct me if am wrong). The solution to having more of what we want is in helping others to get what they want.

We really have to see ourself as "problem solver" to achieve result.

I wish you all a successful 2007

Hi Lateef,

I have a question for,why do Nigerian internet gurus,the so called mentors,like to presell the newbie alot.I do know there in biz for profit but the nigerian mentors will always show you that you have to keep buying from them before you could make it.

[Olajide Lateef]

Hi Olu,

Their are two things here. But before I contineu let me first make it clear to you that there are alots of people out there have seen how profitable the business opportunity industry is and trying to get their own share. So they keep claiming who they are not. 

Having said that, here are two things;

1. People selling information because they see opportunity there. They will keep selling if you keep buying.

2. Mentorship - honestly this is quite different but only few are offering that and only very few people are really ready for the mentorship. What most want is instant gratification. Many want to get rich.

I probably have step on toes here but am saying the truth.

Hello to all reading this mail,What gives me concern most of the time is the rate at which internet fraud is increasing in our country.
What do we say is the root cause of this,is it unemployment,and what can we do to stop it?
One day i was chatting with a white man and he asked where i came from,when i told him Nigeria  you know what he said?He said he is afraid of chatting with Nigerians and immediately he logged off.
Now my people just imaging that kind of insult on our country,please share your views with me cos it concerns all of us as a nation.

[alaba]

oga toye which board should we put this post to now?or u want to create another board for charity.

[Aysmart]

i believe so much in the principle my Internet god mother always emphasize.The principle of FAN.i.e.Filling a need.If you fill in a particular need in a particular place or area at a particular period or time,be rest assured that you are going to make it in the internet business.
so that is my own formular.

Weldone Guys!

It's good reading from you Guys. I have read a lot about you guys in Success Digest Extra.

However, we need you guys as mentors. There are so many Nigerians out there who doesn't even know what to do on the net to make legit money except hacking credit cards and other cybercrimes. I pity them.

Maybe you guys show step-up the fight against these behaviours by using your platform - not only to make money - but invest in turning those minds like Sunny Obazu-Ojeagbase into useful netprenuer millionaires who will travel anywhere in the world carrying our national flag.

That's my vision.

Take care.

Firstly
       Oga Ken Nwankwo
You post looks like a spam,what stops your from opening a new thread in advert board and advertise your product??It is better we act mature...
 To The Point
This thread is as old as this forum-created on 2006...
If you have read this post(I wonder if I have done it since 2007 i joinded this forum) you can understand what I will drop below
1.I will like to ask a simple question-What is the basis of e-enterprenures in Nigeria? I ask this question because it is high time for Nigeria to show the world of e-business that we are worth something.I marvels and pains me when I see many of these e-business gaints comparing Nigeria with some Contries like Niger,ghana,bahamas etc.Does it means wh dont have any stuff or that we have no basis?
2.To your tents oh Isreal?How many pillars do we have in internet based business in Nigeria?Please can you correctly spell them out for me?Ok if you have done the first assignment,then assignment no.2 now,in that name you have called out,can you scroll up and see if you can recorganise any of their name (from their username,Young man)ok,call them within your self-maybe i don't know many of them?sees like you know them than me(you know I no base for Lagos and naija dey too big)ok if you have completed the task no 2,then number 3-can you answer this simple question-where are they?To your tents oh!Isreal or do you have a differnt answer?
   Is it not better that Nigerian internet marketers will be united somewere,please i don't mean that everybody will have to be commited in igoldforum but is it not better for the world to see the stuff we are made of in this forum?and other forums goes by.is what small boys are doing in digitalpoint forum not a challenge to us?
