Before I go into details of Whatsapp business in Nigeria or Whatsapp Marketing I will like to tell you that a lot of people are making a huge amount of money monthly using just their phone and Whatsapp.

I once told a friend that he can become a rich man using his Whatsapp instead of wasting time chatting with his girlfriends.

Guess the question he asked me, the question was, is it this Whatsapp on my phone or another form of Whatsapp?

In line with his question, I want you to know that I am talking about the Whatsapp on your mobile phone.

How to Make Money Using Whatsapp Business Download App

There are two major ways to make constant and huge money through Whatsapp marketing. The ways are:

1. Teaching or handling the Whatsapp marketing sector of the local businesses around you. As at the time of writing this post, I have over 7 businesses I am handling their Whatsapp marketing.

Tips on how to do that:

Approach local businesses in your area and educate them on how they can be making more money from their existing customers through repeat purchases.

Introduce yourself as a small business coach or consultant, after which you will sell the ideas to them.

With proper education, no business owner has turned me down. Make it clear that the only money they will spend in this form of marketing is your service fee nothing more.

I charge them just 20K for 3 months. So it is a subscription program on my side. Imagine you have 30 or 50 businesses subscribing to your service.

2. The second way to make huge money through Whatsapp marketing or business in Nigeria is by doing it yourself even if you don’t have goods of your own to sell.

I mean you market what you have to offer by yourself. This is very rewarding if you know how to do it

4 Ways to Market Via Whatsapp

There are 4 ways to market via Whatsapp but 3 are the most effective ways of doing Whatsapp business in Nigeria. The means of marketing through Whatsapp are:

1. One on one chart
2. Whatsapp Broadcasts
3.  Status or Whatsapp Stories
4. Whatsapp Groups

Each means of marketing through Whatsapp has its advantages and disadvantages. Experience has shown me that the least effective means is the Whatsapp groups. So, I urge you to pay little or no attention to it.

Let’s briefly consider the first 3 means of doing Whatsapp marketing in Nigeria.

One-on-One Chat

This is the most common means of communication known to most Whatsapp users. It involves telling your potential or existing customer to save your contact, while you save theirs for future marketing.

In other words, it involves direct charts with your customers. Also, it is a perfect customer service channel through, which your customers should complain, order, or request for information.

Whatsapp Broadcast

To me, this is where the magic of Whatsapp business or marketing begins. With the Whatsapp broadcast, you will send messages to the set of people in a group without them knowing each. They will not even know that you sent the same message to all of them

A reply from any of them will come as a private chart to you, not on the group. This is a very powerful customer segmentation tool.

If you master the art of Whatsapp broadcast, then your business is on its way to exploding beyond measure.

Whatsapp Stories

With Whatsapp stories, you can share a stream of photos or ads to your contacts. This is an effective way of marketing goods that have great visual appeal, and great captioning.

Most people call this Whatsapp status marketing but the fact is that it is known as Whatsapp stories.

How to Add Buyers’ Phone numbers to Your Whatsapp List

List building is the soul of every business. Therefore, you must understand how to ethically people number without them get suspecting any foul activity.

People hate being sold, so you have to get people’s phone numbers in such a way they will happily give it to you.

The best way of adding numbers to your Whatsapp list is by offering or promising valuable returns for it.

Whatsapp Business In Nigeria- Conclusion

Obviously, I have revealed to you the possibility of making over 100K using just your phone and the instant messaging software known as Whatsapp.

Whatsapp business or Whatsapp marketing is the order of the day, and it has come to stay. Now is the time for you to tap into this multi-billion Niara marketing channel.

Standard fx Nigeria is a one-man trading company with a website address www.standardfx.org. The man behind this is by name Samuel Kayode.

on his website, he promises to deliver a 37% profit weekly on forex trading, cryptocurrency and binary option.

If you are considering investing your hard-earned money with this guy, read my bitter experience by extension what other Nigerians have suffered from this guy.

Samuel Kayode is very aggressive with advertising his service on Punch newspaper online and WhatsApp, which makes it appear real. But the fact is that standard fx Nigeria is a scam.

What I mean by a scam is that the chance that the money you invest cannot be recovered again is high.

Please do not be deceived with his idea that you will be in control of the account because you are not in control of the trading. In other words, you own the account, he does the trading. So, you have no control over how he manages your money

What he does is this: he gambles with people’s money, if he wins, you pay him. If he loses you bear the whole risk alone.

Because he does not invest, he trades as he likes, which you will end up losing. You may be asking how he makes his money.

As I rightly said, a lot of Nigerians fall prey to his ads, so if he loses or blows your money away, he gains from others that he is lucky to win.

Please take note, I am not standardfx competitor rather I was a victim, and I will not like other Nigerians to fall the same.

I have a good idea of how forex works. In fact, I trade to some extent, but when I saw his advert I thought he knew something different. So, I decided to try him but it was a flop.

My real story with standardfx.org.

The blog you are reading from is my personal blog. So, you can know more about me from the “about me” section of the blog.

I invested $600 in my forex trading account then ask standardfx.org to manage it for me. After 2 weeks he made a profit of $1400.

He then asks for his share, which was 50%, And I withdrew his share and gave to him. I left $1000 for him to continue with.

The next week he blew the account away leaving just $38. I called him, he promised of making it up with time.

He started trading with the $38 and took it to $70, after 3 days he blew away the account to $8.

I started calling him but he refused to pick my calls. Then I sent him a thought-provoking text message, which made him picked my call.

I was very polite in talking to him about his trading pattern and level of risk-taking. then went to ask him some questions, it was then I realized that he knew nothing about forex trading.

I told him to learn how to trade the candlestick pattern that it works. To my greatest surprise, he asked what candlestick pattern is.

In fact, most armature traders start with candlestick and chart patterns. Then I went on to ask him how does he determine his risk-reward ratio, has no answer to that.

It became glaring that this guy with standardfx.org Nigeria is just gambling with Nigerians money because no system to hold him accountable.

Forex is a good business but it is not a get rich quick business as somebody like Samuel Kayode claimed to be.

So, don’t even consider investing with standardFx.org because you will finally and definitely lose your hard-earned money as I did.

It will shock you to know that if you’ve capital from N500, 000 downward then mini importation business in Nigeria does not worth it. I’ll explain in details why mini importation business in Nigeria does not worth it, just read on.

In this post, I’ll also reveal to you one shocking secret on how to make money from major importers with little or no capital than killing yourself trying to import.

I am well convinced that all those searching for how to start mini importation business in Nigeria or mini importation websites must have been somehow stuck in what to do to survive. Or they have little capital and see advert promising them to make huge profit through mini importation.

Anyway, I was like you some years back, I tried mini importation business and it worked but does not really worth hassles. You may be wondering why or how.

To be precise, I saw an advert by one of the so called mini importation guru in Nigeria through Facebook. I bought his video series on how to go about it and after watching, I mapped out N100, 000 for it.

I followed all the instructions found in the videos and finally got my goods delivered here in Nigeria. But the stress doesn’t worth it. Let me tell you why.

Mini Importation Business in Nigeria- Problems

After the delivery of my goods, I came to realize that the cost of buying the shipping Item from China to Nigeria as a mini importer is far higher than just buying it from a major importer here in Lagos.

The reason is that major importers do their currency exchange at CBN rate. While you will be exchanging at Aboki’s rate or black market rate.

For instance, if dollar to Naira exchange is N300 CBN rate then the black market or Aboki’s rate will about N370 to N390. Do you see why the major importer will always get it at cheaper price than you?

No matter what you want to sell or import from China, there are major suppliers of that thing here in Lagos. Just go to mandalas, or Balogun market you will get it at a price lower than importing it.

Secondly, you must buy a stipulated quantity of goods from Aliexpress. This means that even if you see what to import, you can’t buy until you meet the seller minimum quantity. But here in Nigeria you can buy any number you money can reach.

The third problem of mini importation business in Nigeria is that you’re always at the mercy of the agents. Most logistic companies in Nigeria are not ripe for business. So, expect delay beyond expectation. I waited for more than one month to get delivery of my goods.

In case you’re serious in trying things out yourself, then let me reveal to you important Info.

Mini Importation Business in Nigeria -Lessons

Most mini importers will always advice you to buy from Aliexpress.com but I said no to it. To buy very quality product at affordable price, then I strongly suggest you buy from www.1688.com.

The reason for 16.88 is because it is specifically meant for Chinese people. So everything there has high quality and very cheap when compared to alibaba and Aliexpress.

The only problem with 16.88 is that it is written in Chinese language. But you can translate it by right clicking on the page and translate to English. But you can only do this using chrome browser

How to Make Money From Importer Without Buying There Product

This is a very big concept I am about revealing to you. Every importer is always looking out for good marketers. Therefore, instead of searching for mini importation secret, search for how to become a super marketer.

Do you know that the richest men and women in the world are good marketers? Yes, they are not good importers instead they are good marketers. They market and sell their ideas, products and services easily, which is why they are rich today.

So, start thinking of becoming a good marketer from now because that is where the money is. Another good story is that you don’t need to confront people one on one today to become a good marketer.

There are established market platforms where you can utilize to make the money you really wish to as a marketer.  https://Jiji.ng, www.Konga.com, www.Jumia.com.ng, https//www.Dealdey and many more are some of the market place you can use.

Back to Business 

In my own case I love marketing women products, especially kitchen utensil. And women are always ready to spend money whether recession or no recession. So, what I do is to go to those kitchen utensil importers and search for new arrivals. Most times they have new and fascinating things from China.

I take a snap of all those things I love and get their prices. Then move to market place, jiji and Konga precisely and place them for sale as ads. Within one or two weeks I usually get orders from women who are ready to pay cash on Delivery.

So, I get back to the importer and buy those things and send them to the buyers, who pay on delivery. To get my money from buyers, I use delivery agents that collect my money after delivery. Kos and perseus are some of the delivery agents I use.

To make much money from this concept, what I do is to boost my ads on those marketing platforms. This means I pay token so that my advert will reach millions of Nigerians and that is where I make bulk of my money.

Another interesting thing about this model of business is that you’ll develop good relationship with importers. Therefore, in some cases, they’ll call you to market new product because they see you as a super marketer.

Are you seeing the reason or reasons why mini importation business in Nigeria does not worth it?

Top Secret

People are willing to pay times 2 of the price of what they know as long as they get it online. Buying online in Nigeria comes with ego, so tap into it now. For instance, I make profit of N15, 000 to N20, 000 from some of the products.

My experience show that most products I boost my ads on bring in minimum of 15 sales in a month. And I use N40, 000 to boost an ad on jiji. Though, they have smaller packages but I go for the highest because it is more rewarding.

Let’s assume I make N15, 000 from each of the sales, which means I make a profit of 15 multiply N15,000 equals to N225, 000 monthly from one product.

It is as simple as that. You can do it from any part of the country. Just get a reliable seller or who has what you want to sale in large quantity and market it through these marketing platforms.

Does mini importation business in Nigeria really worth it? It is left for you to answer.

Are you really interested in starting a laundry business in Nigeria? If yes, then welcome to my blog. Population statistics have recently revealed that the world’s population stands at almost 8 billion, one-eighth of which falls under working class. These statistics make it evident that laundry business is very much needed and is indeed one of the most profitable business ventures to indulge in.

This is because laundry business in Nigeria caters for the laundry needs of the working class, ensuring that they have neat clothes. After all, how can they appear in the office with dirty clothes? And what time do they have to clean up their wardrobes?

Laundry businesses are springing up in almost every major city in the world, Nigeria is not an exception. Today we will be hearing from an expert in the laundry field, Mr. Phillip, who has been into the business for five years and counting. He will be answering a few questions that should provide us insight to how to start profitable laundry business in Nigeria

Before We Continue, What Exactly is Laundry Business?

I like to give definitions in such a way that the layman can easily understand, especially when it has to do with my business. Laundry business simply put is one which involves the art of washing clothes or apparel as a public service for money.

The washing could be done using a machine or manually and the owner picks the apparel up on the agreed date after paying the fee. Are you surprised that I used the word art?

You shouldn’t be, when you consider how the clothes should look after the process then you would agree with me that it is an art. The clothes have to be neatly washed and if agreed upon, ironed and well packaged.

What Are The Opportunities That Abound in The Laundry Business in Nigeria?

There are several opportunities that abound in laundry business in Nigeria, three however stand out and I will describe them.

1. General laundry. This is described as one of the most profitable aspects of the laundry business. This is because it entails all of the major processes, washing, starching and ironing. When all of these is considered you will discover that there is a lot of money to be made.
2. Ironing. A lot of homes presently have machines for washing and just need someone to iron the clothes. This aspect of the business requires the entrepreneur to just iron the washed clothes and package them at a fee. This means less stress and more money for the entrepreneur.
3. Special services. This aspect deals with home service where the entrepreneur goes to carry out the laundry processes in the home of the client. For this singular cause, the entrepreneur earns far more than he will while working from his shop/office.

Steps to Take in Starting up a Laundry Business in Nigeria

This is key to any business, not just the laundry business. If the right steps are taken, you can rest assured that the business will surely succeed.

Carry Out a Feasibility Study And Write a Detailed Business Plan.

You must be wondering why I muddled up two steps into one. It is simple; both steps are interwoven because you can hardly write a detailed business plan without a proper feasibility study.

 It is imperative that you take time to understand the business you’re about to indulge in.  find out what area of town best suits your purposes and what kind of customers are present there.

Check also the prices of other laundry businesses and the services they offer. With all of these information, draw up a business plan that will act as your guide in running the business.

Choose a Site For Your Business

I don’t need to emphasize that where a business is located has a toll on the success of the business on the long run.

From your feasibility study, you should be able to discover the best part of town for your business. Put the business is a place that is easily accessible to clients, if possible in an area known for both human and vehicular traffic.

You may also decide to put the laundry close to other businesses that attract lots of clients. One of such is a relaxation bar.

Obtain Necessary Permits.

Before commencing operations it is expedient to be registered with the necessary regulatory bodies and obtain the necessary permits. This is important to keep the business from unnecessary embarrassment in the future. Also registration gives the business some reputation points with the customers and increases their trust in the business.

Equip Your Business.

Now that you have gotten all the permits and a place to begin your laundry business, you can begin to purchase equipment needed to start laundry business in Nigeria for optimal services. Some of the majors include:

1. Washing basins and washing machines.
2. Alternative power source, considering the state of power generation in the country.
3. Pressing iron and ironing tables.
4. Garment conveyor.
5. Detergent, chemicals and starch.
6. Water storage tank.
7. Packing nylons, tags and hangers.

Please note that the list is not restricted to these, you can add some more based on your creativity and personal preferences.

Spread The Word About Your Business.

This is one of the most important aspects of business. In business it is wise to blow your trumpet in the streets as loud as you can. Ensure that you put your business in the face of as many people as you can. There are several ways to achieve this, using social media, handbills, billboards, referrals, promos, affordable prices and brand distribution.

How profitable is the laundry business in Nigeria?

This is one very important question that every businessman must answer before diving into any business. I have been involved with the laundry business in Nigeria for 5 years and I can boldly say that the business is highly profitable, I would break it down. To start up, you need just a little above #550,000. This will cover for registration, rent, purchase of equipment and materials and publicity.

If you set your price for basic laundry services at #300 per clothing item and you have 15 clients daily bringing 10 clothes, we can easily calculate how much you will make monthly.

Price for each piece of clothing – #300

Number of items per customer – 10

Daily patronage – 15

Daily income = price per clothing x number of items x daily patronage

Therefore, daily income = 300 x 10 x 15 = #45,000

If you work from Mondays to Saturdays, 6 days a week = #45,000 x 6 = #270,000

That means in a month you should make, #270,000 x 4 weeks = #1,080,000

Though this figure will definitely reduce when you deduct taxes, maintenance and service charges.

Are There Any Challenges With Running The Laundry Business in Nigeria?

There is no business without its fair share of challenges. I would briefly state a few challenges experienced in the laundry business.

1. Poor electricity could hamper the laundry business and reduce profits.
2. Delivery can be hectic especially when you have to run against short deadlines.
3. Some clothes can get destroyed in the laundry process.

Laundry Business In Nigeria – Wrap UP

Obviously, the need for dry cleaning and laundry business in Nigeria is on the rise because people hardly find time to keep their clothes neat. It is one of the profitable and easy to start businesses in Nigeria today. Though it sounds simple but that is not the case. You have to master the art of laundry business to get it right.

To be very successful in laundry business in Nigeria you must know your job very well. So, if you’re considering going into laundry business in Nigeria then take time to learn how it is being done from a successful launderer.
