EIGHT online business you can start with ZERO CAPITAL
So please let’s pick up a skill and monetize it, These business ideas should be considered as skills because you do not need to start buying any goods or getting any setting up any Office rather what is required is your Mobile phone, internet access, laptop, and your experience, this is why I see your skill as an investment.
Delivery/Logistics Service
As e-commerces business keeps on emerging every day, there is a great need for products and services delivery.
Its a known fact, for any online business to thrive, there must be a good and reliable delivery service on the ground and this is where you come in
A Lady in one of the groups I belong to started this business some months back and she is making cool Cash. Sometimes, she picks my goods for me and delivers it to me or my customers and she is paid in return for her service.
How did she start?
She discovered that a lot of people buy goods in the group but finds it difficult to get their goods delivered to them, she volunteered to do deliveries for them for a little token.
And that was how she started her delivery company.
How can you start delivery/logistics service ?
- Join various business groups on Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram
- Introduce yourself as a logistics person
- Give them a fair price to attract them.
That’s all.
If you can’t do the deliveries by yourself, collaborate with a known logistics company, and negotiate commission on every customer you to give them. You can now save to get a dispatch and a bike of yours
Then you stand on your own I have 3 people I know who started their logistics business like this and in 6 months they had gotten over 4 bikes for dispatch Logistics is a very big challenge for online eCommerce websites. This is a very good angle you can explore to be a link between the sellers and the buyers
SELLING OTHER PEOPLES PRODUCT (DROPSHIPPING)
Someone said and I quote:
I am happy.
She said in her words;
“Business is sweet oooh
Am so glad am doing this, am really deriving fulfillment from this and also meeting my own needs”
I asked her,
Have you started importing
She said no, that she sells other people’s products. This is dropshipping. Dropshipping is the easiest business one can do in this era.
I call it a “lazy way of making money” You don’t need a KOBO to start, you don’t need a STORE/SHOP You don’t need to bother yourself about how to DELIVER the product to the customer.
All you need to do is to look for a seller, market his product, get a buyer, and refer buyers to the sellers. The seller takes it up from there. All the packaging and delivery is done by the seller.
Just cross your legs and let the seller do the “wahala” while you wait for your commission to be sent to you by the seller. You can do this with more than one seller.
But you must be careful in choosing a seller to work with. Some sellers are not trustworthy. They have low integrity.
If you are interested in this type of business Pls let me know
Website/Graphic design
The majority have the belief that web and graphic design can only be done by computer gurus. It’s not true, I designed my website by myself, for instance, I developed this web site www.nairastreet.com without hiring any programmer, this is not a blog site
Small business owners, want to have websites for their businesses for visibility purposes and this is where the business aspect comes in.
Position yourself as an expert and start making money by designing websites.
You also need a website for your business, you may think you don’t need a website now, but later in the future, you will realize that you need it.
All other social platforms are not yours, building all your businesses on these platforms without a website is risky.
If Mark Zuckerberg decides to shut down Facebook and Instagram today what happens to your business?
Your website is your landed property nothing can happen to it. A website gives your business a more professional look. Some people have lost a business contract because they don’t have a website.
Your business needs a website, so as every other business. A lot of entrepreneurs also want to design beautiful and attractive content, graphics for their products. You can make a lot of money by making beautiful designs for them.
To design a flyer alone without printing is N5000. Even if you charge N2000 for every design you make it is something. For web design, the least amount people charge is 20-30k, some people charge as high as 100-150k (depending on the market)
If you have 4 websites to design in a month, that’s an average of 80-100k in one month. And you can do all these with your phone or laptop without stepping out of your house. If you want to learn how to design a website or graphics
There is an app called CANVA that you can use to create beautiful designs. Use your hand and play around the app, you will be surprised at what you can do. Don’t limit yourself This is one of the business you can start with little or no capital. Your skills is What is required

Become a Distributor by using OPM (other people’s money).
A lot of people still believe that mini importation is all about buying and selling. Yes, it is, but you can do more with the knowledge of mini Importation. You can become a distributor or supplier of unique products.
You don’t need a huge capital to start. You can even start with zero capital
How is this possible?
Visit supermarkets or stores, churches, hotels near you. Show them a sample of the product you want to supply and tell them you can supply to them at a very cheaper price…
Or look for a product in their store, do your market research and tell them that you can supply them at a better price. Before going, make sure you do your homework very well…
Don’t appear cheap, let them see that you have come to offer value. If they accept your deal, ask them to pay half of the money as deposits. Use the deposits to buy the products from China, when the goods arrive, deliver, and collect your balance. You have succeeded in using other people’s money(OPM) to start your business
So please let’s wakeup and redirect the energy we use to criticize politicians on FB to make out own money.
Those people don’t care about anybody but we can use our time, data, and phone wisely.
Enough of giving excuses of ” I need capital to start a business “
Quite a number of us know and have information that can help people but keep it to ourselves. That’s business
Selling Your Knowledge
Another business people seem to neglect is selling your knowledge. Till date I have, more than 23 business training I have gone for, some for knowledge, some for execution and some for fun
By the time I monetize all this, package it well and tag a fee and I roll out weekly or bi-weekly training routine. What are you talking about? Cool money right?
I was invited to train some people on mini importation alone for 2 days and I was paid 130k including my hotel bills and feeding throughout my stay, they said extra thank you with 20k for fuel coz I went with my car for them to know I have achieved a lot through importation
So I am not just compiling notes for you. This is what I see happen every day. Learn something new and teach for a token. People are out there to learn and do business
So please pay for some training to know about what to sell to others. Simple trick
