Why the Majority Fail at Stock Investing

By A. Hamid Adeniyi Otule

The Aims and Objectives of this writing are to expose to you our esteemed readers the majour reasons why many so called investors fail at stock investing, tested and confirmed ways to invest in stocks and share.

As we all know that Money is integral to our daily lives. Everybody needs money to take care of our daily activities. A lot of people invest their hard earned money in stocks to enjoy the capital gain on their money while others are happy with a steady income. Some never knew much about stock investment but it is universal facts that stock investing tend to be risky. I ask this question, why should we invest our money in stocks? The answer for this question is not far-fetched. Stock market game has the potential to multiply your money quickly and otherwise. It could give you instant money to improve your lifestyle. But it is also true that majority fail at stock investing.

The returns on stocks certainly attract lots of people but majority of them and lose their hard earned income which they invested in the stocks. Stock investing is not the child's play that anyone could play easily. It is not a hobby but rather its serious businesses that need a lot of strategies and knowledge. People often fail at stock markets because they forget to input their valuable efforts, or in other words they forget to work hard. Such amateurs always invest in stocks with a view to earn some quick bucks but due to lack of hard work they lose their money.

Also, before jumping into stock investing it is very important for the investors to acquire the basic knowledge of investing in stocks and rules, skills and strategies required.

For any investor his or her real cash is the rules to play stock market game. If you don't have enough cash, you cannot invest which means you tend to make little or nothing. And if you don't invest, you are out of business. The second most crucial factor that majority of investors lack and hence fail at stock investing is the ability to research and follow up. Most of the investors keen on gathering knowledge about star performers (stocks). They make plans to buy next stocks but forget to follow up how the stock that they already own is performing in the market. It is very important that you learn taking care of your car before going to buy a new one. The same goes for stocks. You must spend time to research the performance of your stock before you actually buy a new one. Stock investing is a big game and therefore you need to research a lot before investing your money in it.

Furthermore, Majority of people fail in stock investing since they don't realize the importance of their money working for them. They don't know what they are doing; they don’t find it necessary to hire professional experts to help them invest in right stocks. Among other mistakes that people commit when it comes to stock investing is that stock market investing is not only about buying at low and selling at high. It is much-much more than that. Investing money blindly is not the right move that need to be avoided. It is very important that you assess the need of the money. Analyze your investment goal and then select the right investment plan. For e.g. if your goal is to buy a car then research well and choose a stock that has the potential to give you short term investment benefits.

Remember that the right knowledge and practice is the perfect combination that can help you stand apart from the majority who fail at stock investing.

Stock Investments For Beginners

Stock Investments For Beginners

(A Guide on how to invest in stocks and shares)

By A. Hamid Adeniyi Otule

The Aims and Objectives of this writing are to expose to you our esteemed readers one of the most possible, tested and confirmed ways to invest in stocks and share.

Stock investment as you all know requires experience in the stock market. You don't need to pick stocks on your own or take on excessive risk to invest in stocks.

With the view to enhancing a better stock trading ability and chances for success, I therefore present to you a basic starter guide to stock investments for beginners.

Firstly, what you need to know about the stock market when you make your first stock investment is that stock prices fluctuate. Stocks trade on exchanges, and historically when held for the long term stocks have produced returns of about 10% a year. Over the shorter-term the market goes through cycles called bull markets (rising prices) and bear markets (falling prices).

Firstly, it is important to note that when you make your initial stock investments, stock prices fluctuate depending on the period, be it; short- i.e. when the market goes through cycles called bull market(rising prices) and bear markets (falling prices) term or long-term. If properly managed can make returns for at least 10% returns on investment.

In addition, most of the time, bull markets prevail and investors make huge returns. In bears markets the vast majority of investors tend to lose money, as most stocks fall in value.

Beginners who are just investing should try to pick stocks that they feel will outperform the stock market. They should be worried about making it big in stock investment without speculating and taking unnecessary risk.

I want to assure you of the simplest way to invest in stocks without speculating, which is to invest in investments funds such as: exchange traded funds (ETFs), and mutual funds. Well In both cases you make a stock investment by buying shares. You then own a small part of a large portfolio of stocks which is managed for you and all the other investors who own shares.

To invest in stocks through an ETF you'll need a brokerage account. Moreover stock mutual funds can be purchased in various ways: through an investment professional, in a 401k-type plan, in a brokerage account, or by dealing directly with a no-load fund company.

Unless you have an investment adviser you'll need to decide the funds to invest in. As a general guide to investing for beginners, I suggest you start investing with a major stock index fund.

Furthermore, For example, stock symbol SPY is an ETF that tracks a major stock index, the S&P 500 Index. Various mutual fund companies offer S&P 500 Index funds as well. In either case, they are a stock investment that tracks the performance of 500 of the largest stocks (large cap stocks) in a country like America.

In good times in bull markets, you'll make money. In bad times and bear markets such as in 2008, expect to lose money along with just about everyone else who decided to invest in stocks.

Are you scared! well the good news about stock investment index fund that tracks the stock market: most of the time stocks go up in value. Plus, unlike people who pick stocks to beat the market, you don't need to sweat the possibility that you chose poorly ... resulting in larger than average losses.

Am sure by now you know where to invest in stocks to participate in the stock market without undue risk, you'll want to learn about investment strategy. Once you learn how to avoid major losses in bear markets, you're way ahead of most investors.

In conclusion, If the average stock investment has made 10% a year over the long term (and it has), think of the possibilities if you really knew how to invest.

Stock Investments

By A. Hamid Adeniyi Otule

Stock market is subjected to frequent changes. Uncertainties are very frequent in this area and hence investors are admonished to be extremely cautious. But still then stock investment is a way of making easy profit as compared to real estate and bond investment. This is the main reason why people are largely attracted to stock investments for stock trade. They find trading stocks a convenient method to gain profit. The failures met by several investors during stock trades are due to inadequate knowledge on stock investments and improper decisions at different times. A thorough understanding of the set up can surely help them to earn success through money.

To trade stock, investors must have some basic idea about where, when, how and how much to invest. Stock trading companies will be attracting investors, but right decisions must be taken before making stock investments.

Stock investments can be executed by learning the stock of the company more. If the investments are made in a company that has no reputation, the stock value will fall to zero at a point when the company fails. This will result in severe loss to the investors. But if the investments are diversified in a proper manner, the chances of loss are less. It is advisable to make investments in different companies. Hence even if a company fails in making a profit, another company can bring you more benefit thereby helping you to earn from stock investments.

Often new investors make common mistakes when they make stock investments. One such mistake is frequent buying and selling of stocks. They seek opinion from inexperienced people and often try to make bad investments through buying and selling at improper times. There are investment traps that can happen through scammers and illegal procedures, which will end them in trouble. Novice investors might invest by paying high fees, which will cause them to end in trouble. Broker fees can be too high causing high investment fees as such. They might also seek advice from others on stock investments, which might charge them too much. Often the fees may not be reasonable as the advice is not good enough to lead them to earn a profit.

While making stock investments, it will be advisable to go through latest updates on stock market. They have to constantly monitor the stock market after investing in stocks. It would be appreciable if the people can seek advice from expert stock analysts in investments. Through constant learning of stock investments, they might be matured enough to take decisions on their own. Stock investments with this care and concern will prove to be simpler and easier when it is coupled with technological enhancements involving tools and trackers.

Real Estate Investment Opportunities in Today's Crazy Market

Real Estate Investment Opportunities in Today's Crazy Market

By A. Hamid Adeniyi Otule

Dear readers, if you must be aware of this, then know that the best investment opportunities for you will depend on your goals and objectives. Investment strategies that are a fit when you are first getting started won't necessarily make sense for you once you've gotten your investing career launched.

For those who have just started investing; Have you ever read or heard that my favorite strategies is that it doesn't take any cash or credit and there are one of the simplest ways to get started in investing is by learning how to structure sandwich lease option deals. The reason this is one of plenty of motivated sellers that you can work with. To put together a sandwich lease option, you are going to match up a motivated seller with a potential tenant buyer, and make a profit for doing this.

Furthermore, search for a motivated seller who is looking to get out from under their payments and who is open to your creative offer. You'll structure a long term lease of five to ten years where you agree to cover the existing mortgage by paying rent to the seller.

Obviously, for this to be one of your best methods of buying real estate, the amount you pay to the seller needs to be LESS than the amount you can rent the house out for.

Moreover, you’ll also get an option to purchase the house for either the amount the seller owes to the lender or for about 80 percent of current market value. Making sure your option price is low enough so that you can offer the property to your tenant buyer on a rent to own basis along with the right for your tenant buyer to purchase from you at a higher price.

Other investment strategies for beginners include owner carry financing or buying a home using the existing financing.

For the intermediate investors, once you've done a few lease option deals you'll be ready to move on to short sales and flipping properties. Moreover, Short sales involve negotiating with the lender to accept less than what is owed so that you can resell the property to someone who will live in the house. For making quick cash, this can be one of your best techniques because you keep the difference as your profit.

Flipping or wholesaling homes are two other appropriate techniques for intermediate investors. Most successful flips or wholesale deals involve finding homes in poor condition and then either immediately reselling them to another investor, or fixing them up to sell to a retail buyer.

For the sophisticated investors or what I call as the ‘Big Thinkers’ If you like investment opportunities where you can make millions instead of "just" hundred thousand naira, then you may want to consider investment opportunities in the commercial real estate arena. You can as well choose from apartment buildings, self storage, mobile home parks, office & retail and other commercial investment opportunities.

In conclusion so, now that you understand a bit more about creative real estate investing, you're going to have to decide which type of deals you want to be going after. No matter which of the various investment opportunities you decide is best for you, don't make the mistake of failing to take action on making your dreams come true.

Opportunities for Investing In Commercial Real Estate.

By A. Hamid Adeniyi Otule

Dear esteemed readers, I like to use this opportunity to express my profound gratitude to those who have supported me and also gave words of encouragements. I like to commend and appreciate them for their invaluable support. Let me also not forget my tradition which is to remind our readers that I am committed to ensuring that I contribute positively to the development of our society at large.

When it comes to starting up your own business, there are a lot of things to consider. The more serious and confident you are about your endeavors, the more money you are perhaps likely to invest in it and make in returns.

Moreover, whether you've been a hard saver, received a loan or lucky enough to be supported by friends and families, you'll want to make sure that the business venture you launch is properly thought out, as the last thing you'll want is for your business to crumble.

Without wasting your time, Commercial property investment is becoming a hugely popular option for business entrepreneurs in today's world. In many countries, residential property investment doesn't offer the return on investment that most people anticipate. For this reason, commercial building investment has grown in demand.

If you care to search carefully in many of the larger cities, you discover that there are untold industries to choose from, giving you plenty of options as far as launching your new business venture is concerned. Industrial property investment is supposedly the cheapest of all commercial property investment options available and also the simplest to understand. This is vital, especially if this is your first business venture. With this type of property investment, there are often very few hitches that arise.

A majority of industrial buildings are just simple boxes with certain sized area partitioned off and used as office space. More often than not these are very cheap to build and require very little or no maintenance. Well it's this type of commercial property that is becoming more and more popular every year.

Typically, an industrial property would include those used for light or heavy manufacturing units, a warehouse for storage purposes, factory/office-type multi-use property, industrial parks and retail warehouse units. Industrial property units tend to range from 1000 - 50000 square feet in size.

In addition, most industrial properties don not rely on the quality of location, as opposed to commercial property like retail and hospitality, where a business is rather dependent on their location being easily accessible and noticed.

Lastly, Commercial property investment range greatly in cost throughout the world. Many of the smaller type properties tend to have shorter term tenancy contracts. For those who consider investing in commercial property, it's highly advised and recommended that you carefully decide how big or small your property needs to be. Bear in mind, it's a lot easier to handle a smaller commercial property than a medium to large sized one.

Network Marketing - Finding the Right Network Marketing Opportunity

2011-05-11T12:30:00.000-07:00

Network Marketing - Finding the Right Network Marketing Opportunity

By A. Hamid Adeniyi Otule

Network Marketing; or Multilevel Marketing as some describe it, regardless of what the majority’s mindset may be, is still one of the best ways to gain financial freedom. 2011 is a year that has witnessed financial struggle and even though I am an optimist, I am sure that things are going to get better soon. I believe that the right Network Marketing opportunity could be what you have just been looking for.

Without wasting much of your valuable time, I like to restate my commitment towards ensuring that we provide you the best of information so as to enable you find the right investment business opportunity.

Nevertheless, People are paying more for virtually everything and their income with their job is not moving nearly as fast in the right direction. This means that people desperately in need of the right solution and for many; Multilevel or Network Marketing could just be the financial breakthrough.

As we all know, the Network Marketing Industry is full of opportunities, the majority of which claim to be the best anyway. These opportunities if they are legitimate, all pose success chances. The reality is however that most of these opportunities boast a very high failure rate as well.

It is not becoming a new thing that most people fail when they get into Network Marketing. Their failure was not because they cannot succeed, but rather, because most people are not willing to put forth the effort it takes to see success. After all people have jobs and their busy lives do not allow for the time it takes to promote a Network Marketing business.

This worries me because these people are passing up on what could be a residual income that could just solve their problems forever. I like you to think about something for a minute. If you were to get a job in a profession that boasted the kind of income potential that the majority of Network Marketing opportunities boast, you would have to go to school eight years, climb the corporate ladder and hope for the best. On the other hand, if you find the right network marketing opportunity, you would work hard for a couple of years and still end up making the kind of money you would have if you would have worked your entire life.

What do I mean by this? Network Marketing is a different style of business for different type of individuals. Yes, it does take effort, but the pay off is well worth it. Network Marketing Companies usually allow people to market their products for them and give them a piece of the profits because it is much easier and cost effective than putting together a hundred million dollar advertising campaign. Most pay plans are set up to give you a little bit of the profit off of everyone in your organization. Think about it, would you rather have 1% of the profit of a thousand people or 100% of your own efforts. The answer is obvious.

Another area I like to mention here is; finding the right Network Marketing opportunity is important and as the first step in your success strategy. I definitely believe you would want to find a Network Marketing opportunity that has a great product priced reasonably. Many network marketing opportunities will provide you with a product priced well above retail simply because there is an opportunity attached to it. This will serve as a recipe for your failure. Remember that you are marketing a product for a company and that is where you want the focus to remain. The opportunity is there for people who are interested in sharing the product that they bought with others.

Well how will they know if they want to share it? Even though they have not even tried it themselves? This is why you always want to lead with the product rather than the opportunity.

In addition, if you are the type that would want to find an opportunity that does not require high startup capital and is invariable not too expensive to maintain. Then remember that your Network Marketing opportunity is your business and if you are throwing more money out the door than you are making, you will not last very long.

You might as well decide to use website to promote your products and opportunity. The Internet is a great place to find other Network Marketers who will be interested in helping you build your business. This means that you can have a two-fold approach to marketing your product. Market your products to the people in your community and on the Internet.

Definitely, Network Marketing can make you rich and yes if you want to get rich in Network Marketing you are going to have to market the products.

Finally, I want to assure you that Network Marketing is still by far one of the easiest ways to gain the type of lifestyle that you want since your success or failure is dependant upon the effort that you are willing to put into it.

Legitimate Multilevel Marketing Companies

Legitimate Multilevel Marketing Companies

By A. Hamid Adeniyi Otule

Dear esteemed readers, here is an opportunity again for you again to know about the invaluable discovery about multilevel marketing or what I call ‘network marketing’.

Before I proceed, let me remind our followers that we remain committed to ensuring that we contribute positively to the development of our society at large.

Furthermore, before you begin to think differently, let me ask? Are there really any legitimate multilevel marketing companies? Do you have friends who are involved in any "Investments business opportunity" that they want you to listen or participate? Or you are lucky to listen to one of your dad's friends saying, "Hey, why don't you come over to this meeting that we're having Sunday evening? It's a good way to make some quick money." Well I’m sure you must have heard of it before.

To answer your question, yes, there are legitimate multilevel marketing companies in business today even in Nigeria as the case may be. You must learn to know how to find them and not to get them confused with wrong ones.

So here are a few things to watch out for to ensure that you are getting into a legitimate marketing company. Initially a multilevel marketing company is going to ask you for some kind of starting fee which is normally small in size anyway. You will normally be provided access to information that non members are not privy to. You are also investing in the production of the product as a member. Most networks marketing investment platforms will also ask for an initial investment, but the investment is usually large in size. And while with a legitimate marketing company, you can get a breakdown of the products and learn as much about the company as you do about the product. That is not the case in pyramid schemes. Usually what they do is to spend a lot of time trying to get you to get members to join and give their portion of the initial investment. They tend to focus more on getting the initial investment from as many people as you can instead of the product.

Therefore, with legitimate multilevel marketing companies, you will find that they like to talk about their product just as much as the opportunities that exist in their companies. Their desire is to get their product out while expanding the growth of their company with as many legitimate distributors as possible.

Finally, while there are many network marketing platforms that are try to mimic what looks like legitimacy in multilevel marketing, some of them will always manifest themselves by their desire to grow people instead of distribute products. Be careful when you are looking for legitimate multilevel marketing platform, there are many people out there who are just looking to take your money and run. The more cautious you are the better it will be for you in the long run.

Learn a Good Money Attitude

2011-05-11T12:24:00.000-07:00

Learn a Good Money Attitude

(The Need to Have a Great Financial Future)

By A. Hamid Adeniyi Otule

It is unfortunate that most people rarely understand or know the essence or importance of having a brighter financial future because they know nothing about investing/investment and business. Most of them seek job security instead of financial freedom. The way and manner you handle is quite important than the way you get it. I must sincerely inform you that if you have money problems five years from now, then you need to understand what you are reading now.

Without wasting much of your precious time, what is Money Attitude? We all have attitude towards everything in life be it religion, education, fashion, sports, entertainments, politics and so on. Which means that Money Attitude comes from your believe about money; like asking yourself what does money mean to me? What does it represent? How do you feel about it? How much does money influence your non-financial decisions? For whatever believe or attitude we have towards money, the most important thing is that Money Attitude is learned behaviour i.e. how perceive money depends heavily on your childhood and the environment you grew up in. as I have said earlier, just as Money Attitude is a learned behaviour, it can also be unlearned. It is important for you to have a good money understanding of money. Have you ever taken time to analyze your emotions i.e. your desire and greed, if not it’s high time we got a better understanding about money.

Furthermore, for the purpose of the article, I will show you the different opinions people have about money. As you read the description try to honestly determine what describes you.

The first group of people are those who say they don’t care about money, they just like to earn enough money, spend it and less concerned on how much they have left. For those of you who don’t care about money, you are likely to manage your money poorly. People of this category often usually incure debt in order to afford whatever they want. The salary earners fall in this category. Despite the fact that many of them earn a very respectable wage, they are less concerned about savings and investments for the future.

Another category of people are those who regard as evil or bad. Sometimes they think the whole world would be much better place if money hadn’t exists. They regard people who have money as ‘fat cats’, ‘greedy pigs’, or being filthy rich. In a real sense they view rich or wealthy people in a negative light. Well they tend to have enough money to get by from day to day activities usually do not have money accumulated. For those people, they are likely to earn low wage and spend it as soon as they get it. They fall under the lower of people in the society.

Another group I like to mention here is the people who see money as everything in life and they tend to work very hard to get as much as they can either by the rightful means or otherwise. Some of them never came about their life, health as long as they are able to accumulate more money as they can. The people in this category earn a lot, spend more and still have left in their bank account.

The fourth people are those who recognize the value and importance of money but do not let it negatively affect their lives the way it does affect some people. They know how to manage their money wisely and are happier being who they are. You wouldn’t know it because they are like everyone else. For those who fall under this category, overall the set of people in this category usually make up class of the society.

Have heard about the ‘scrooge’? Well they hold onto their money very tightly, and try to minimize as much as possible. Like other Money Attitude, these people see money as being extremely important in life. They may not have lots of money, but they are good managers. They are characterized by the ability to budget their income properly, which is usually done by purchasing second hand items, although you will also find some wealthy people in this category.

‘The Saints’: see money as a gift which can be shared with other people. As a result of this, they will give large percentage of their income to other people inform charity. Usually, they are very religious and followership of spiritual teachings. Since the Saint give a certain part of their money, they will manage what they have left. They also tend to be reasonable savers. They are usually in the middle class and upper class of the society. You have few wealthy saints like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet whose vast wealth allow them to donate large sums of their money to the course of charity and humanity.

In conclusion, whatever your attitude about money is. It is very important to realize that you have a Money Attitude and that attitude affect how much you earn, spend and keep. If your attitude towards money is negative, it means you are likely to struggle financially and vice-versa.

Are your attitudes towards money helping you or harming you? And if you don’t change that attitude, how will it affect your future?

In today’s economic climate, these questions are more important than ever, so don’t skip over them.

By A. Hamid Adeniyi Otule

There are lots of people who admire success but are not ready to take the price for it. While some tap into the huge business opportunities staring us in the face, and virtually begging to be exploited, not many people can perceive it instead, they blame their parent who have little or no involvement in how successful they are in life.

It takes personal desire and commitment of individuals to make their success possible. This is what we normally observe in success stories of people all over the world.

Without forgetting our aims and objectives of writing which is to contribute positively to the development of society at large which is why this article is centered on revealing the tested and proven ways to generate consistent income weekly form venturing in drinks supply business. Am sure by now you must have been wondering about this money spinning opportunity am talking about. Well in a society like Nigeria where people consume more coca-cola product, malts and other assorted drinks. The demand for soft drinks at occasions like birthday, wedding ceremony, naming ceremony…, festive periods and what have you are very enormous which means a great deal of opportunity awaits anyone investing in soft drinks supply business. After all my rambling then you should begin to ask now that how can I start the business and begin to make cash from it? Well its simple, starting the business could be at different angle which are either small scale supplies or large scale supplies. One can start at least with five crates of minerals. You are required to start collecting drinks from Coca-cola and Seven-up dealer either as a retailer or as a wholesaler. The result of being a wholesaler is that you have the advantage to sell to retailers and still make profit from them i.e. you must be willing to start with at least ten crates of minerals. Those who sell on retail are likely to buy it from wholesalers at a price at least N20 above from the cost of purchasing it from the depot i.e. dealers. The secret of this business now is that one can start party drinks supply business basically with people who have one or two occasions to do. All you are required to do is introduce chilled drinks supply business to those who are hosting parties. For those who will be worrying labour, well you can start with as few as four boys, and starting free for the first time isn’t a bad idea either. All you need to do is to tell the host to pay for renting of the drums, and buying of ice blocks, and to pay for services boys. Acquiring ice chests and ice coolers and a truck so as to ease transportation of materials to the venue is very important.

As some would say that party drinks supply business is a branch of event planning business/industry. The business is lucrative but you must be ready to work. Then having a complimentary card that you give to potential clients or customers would go a long way to marketing your business. For those who do not have the required capital to acquire materials. You can equally start with your client providing the necessary materials.

Following this simple, tested and less complicating procedures to generating consistent income from drinks supply business; I believe the returns are unimaginable.

5 Tips for Finding the Best New Online Business Opportunity

5 Tips for Finding the Best New Online Business Opportunity

By A. Hamid Adeniyi Otule

Since the inception of the new era of information age, virtually every day, hundreds of new online business opportunities flood unto the internet. If there is one thing that the internet is not short of, then it is business opportunities. In reality most of these business opportunities are not genuine.

Although there might be opportunities available, but these are not businesses as a business goes way beyond just making some extra money. This brought me to the question that how do you then spot the best new online business opportunity?

For those willing to find a good a business opportunity, here are some important point to consider and a guide to help you find the best opportunity.

Firstly, if you are going to venture into the online world to 'earn a living', I suggest you treat it as a business from day one. Incase you do not know; a business is not only based on fly-by-night scheme's, but focuses on good, solid and reliable principles that would ensure sustainability of your business and your income. In addition, a business also has the ability to grow and to add value to a market.

You should ask yourself 'will I still be doing these five years from now?' If the answer is no, then you are best to pass on that particular opportunity.

Secondly, do not make the mistake of jumping into the first and best 'new things'. Leave that to the impulsive people wanting to make a quick buck. Finding a good, reliable and solid business system is not that easy if I must tell you. It's best to give a new business opportunity some time to proof itself.

Am sure you know it feels to jump into something with all efforts only to have it collapse after six months. Waiting longer can get an opportunity crowded.

Thirdly, don't believe everything you read on the internet, because the internet is full of very clever and highly skilled copy writers that know exactly how to push a consumer's buttons. Many people have been suckered into buying inferior products based on the seduction of a good sales letter. It's important to try and look past all the hype and 'proof' and 'testimonials' and look at the business concept behind it. If the sales pages can't tell you exactly what the business is all about, then don't even bother. If possible, contact the support team and ask them questions concerning what they are offering before you invest your money, time and energy in it.

Fourthly, the best online business opportunity is not necessarily the most lucrative. It's true that there are quite a few schemes where you can earn some good money really quickly. The majour challenge is the sustainability chances. Just ask anybody that was involved with DX Gold for example, and they will testify just how painful it is to loose your stream of income because of a 'flimsy' business system.

A business that is sustainable will definitely allow you to keep earning money for the rest of your life as it will allow your business to grow and to expand and become stronger with time. Along with this your income will gradually build and you will end up doing less and earning more.

Fifthly, don't replace on job with another! If you are turning to the internet to get out of your brain-dead day job, then you probably want to do what you love and work less while earning more. When you are looking for a good online business opportunity, then you want to make sure that the system is based on multiple streams of income and that it works FOR YOU - even if you are not working it.

Lastly, get involved on community forums like WAHM, Facebook, Naijapals etc and see what other people are saying about a specific opportunity and don't be afraid to ask for opinions. When you do commit to an online business opportunity, make sure that it has a support forum and that you have the ability to work with other like minded people and a dedicated staff willing and able to help you succeed. Am sure if you follow this procedure, then you are on the verge of making it big doing online business.

Gsm Voucher Printing and Marketing

GSM VOUCHER MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION STRATEGIES

(A guide on how to distribute and market recharge cards)

By A. Hamid Adeniyi Otule

The Aims and Objectives of this writing is to expose to you our esteemed readers one of the most possible, tested and confirmed way of making money for as high as you can ever imagine while venturing on how to print and sell recharge card….

Firstly, Mobile phone popularly known as GSM, the recharge printing business is profitable; according to a survey more than 40 million Nigerians recharge their phones daily. You can tap into this opportunity no matter your level of finance; all it takes is dedication, good financial planning and strategic thinking.

Let me ask this question, how do I go about it?

Before starting this business, you need to have the following:

A computer {Desktop or Laptop}, Printer {Black and white}, Internet connection {Optional}

Here is a procedure that will help guide you:

Visit a printer and explain that you need a designed paper A4 that will carry the operator logo i.e Zain, Glo, Mtn, etc. What you tell the printer is that you want one Impression {1000copies} of each operator with the logo and colour on it.

Mind you, a sheet of A4 paper can have at least 10 vouchers on it; this means that you will have 10,000 pieces of voucher per operator. The paper will be serving as the template where the pin of the voucher will be printed on.

Once you have done this, purchase pin codes from dealers and print on the pre designed paper. It should be noted that the smaller denomination i.e. N100 and N200 sells faster than the bigger denomination, so it only makes business sense to concentrate on these denomination.

At this junction, the most important setback for most people is:

How to market and distribute it?

The success of recharge voucher business is not in the ability to print. The major challenge is building the right structure and strategies to market, advertise and distribute.

There are many ways to give exposure to your business and ultimately increase your profit.

Use Credit/Free Approach: It’s been proven that the best way to get your product or services in the hands of customers is by giving it out for free.

The majour challenge with this approach as it relates to voucher printing and distribution is that it’s impossible but it can also be modify to suit this purpose.

The most inevitable approach is the credit approach. It can be applied in the market by giving out your product at the cost price and letting your customer hold on to your profit till the next supply. The effect of this is that an average individual will like to always buy on credit, sell, make money and pay back at a later date.

Be careful using this approach and do not give room for customer holding on to your money longer than agreed.

Using the Convenience Approach: The normal practice is for the call centre operators to visit the distributors and buy but as a new entrance to the market, you need to reverse this.

Visit the road side dealers and sell, this will ultimately eliminate competition.

Lastly, using the Mix Grill Approach is also preferable: As a dealer at the lower wrung of the ladder, the profit on a voucher is low because you are not selling to the end user. The mix grill approach is a situation in which use sell to both road side dealers and the end user. This will improve your profit. You can also set up call centers in strategic locations.

More ways can to penetrate the market can be worked on depending on your level of ingenuity and day to day experience on the business.
