LEGITIMATE WAYS OF MAKING MEGA BUCKS ONLINE; THE NIGERIAN EXPERIENCE
At first I thought it was a huge joke as many Nigerians have been made to believe that scamming or perhaps 419 as many would call it is the only officially recognized way to make easy money online: making money online this way (though I never tried it, even when it almost became a trend) is the hardest, toughest and most time consuming money making exercise, however, those involved in this sad and unfortunate melee are yet to make this discovery; those who have, have chickened out. To be frank with you I’m still a green horn as regards making legitimate money online, but yet I can attest to the fact that legitimate and easy money online opportunities abound: but majority of those involved in this evil scheme (419) are yet to re-train their minds and instincts to believe this well acknowledged fact, besides, their 'income' is not steady and they live in constant fear of being caught by the authorities. Perhaps, their worst disadvantage is that they rob themselves of their resourcefulness and their ability to earn money legitimately.

Hey! Is making money online the latest trend? Or is it the home based money making craze that has infected every adult since the internet became a house hold name; that is affecting our psyche? Well not really; but it is the necessary end to every means today, in the words of millionaire Bill Gates’ there are two kinds of businesses, those online and those who are out of business’ so one can rightly say that online business is the niche today world wide ,and Nigeria is no exception. Then how can we Nigerians then say we can’t take our own fare share of this national cake? Just because we have been called the bad dog and therefore must be hanged? Well it is rather sad and unfortunate that a country as large as Nigeria ,with all it’s potentials: both material and human can be so marginalized as to be de-listed or black listed from every idea and opportunity online by the western world(lead by the united states) who think the internet is their birth right. But let me state it here and now, that it is no fault of theirs but ours that we find ourselves in this precarious situation today, not as a result of our fraudulent online activities (statistically India and Pakistan are by far the largest scammers second only to Nigeria) but because we have refused in our ignorance to take up the opportunities that abound online and make a decent living out of it.

My reasons to putting this little piece of information together today is not to bemoan our fate, but for us to take charge of our lives: as we are the only ones that can make the desired change to occur. More so, I am here to make a list of some yet to be discovered online money making ventures and how some works. Recently I was going through some ideas posted in one particular Nigerian forum on how to make money buying and selling e-gold/currency, it sounded unreal at first but today I can assure you that e-gold is really working since online payment solutions like visa, MasterCard, pay pal etc don’t transact business with Nigerians, e-gold is now the easiest solution, however if you want more information on how it works you Can visit www.e-gold.com ,there you’ll learn more on e-gold and how to open an account which is free and funding it. Other online opportunities I’ll list out with links for more detailed information on each of them include: Google.com which is by far the most visited site, as they have their information portal in every language in the world; as such they utilize this advantage by introducing programs like google ad words, ad sense etc where so many people world wide are raking millions of cool dollars every day. Other search engines like yahoo, AltaVista etc have programs of such manner, yet we (Nigerians) are yet to discover this proverbial gold mine beneath our feet.

E-publishing/books is still very much new thing to us in this part of the world; since publishing of books (off line) could be regarded as a very prodigious exercise as a person must be skilled in the area which he is make his desired impact, must have a writing style, and lastly a fat bank account (except he/she have a sponsor). But all these upheavals and bottlenecks have been eliminated since the discovery of e-books. E-books are so easy to prepare all you need is a very good idea on a topic or a niche you are very familiar with; from my discovery, how-to do e-books are by far the most sought for; as every individual as the world becomes more advanced is looking for a first class information on how to make life easier for himself and his family. E-books on information such as: how to become a GSM engineer in 1 day, how to make money lying comfortably on your bed etc. are information every person who sees it will want to get to its root and as such will be ready to part with a sizeable amount of their income to get this very important information. For more I’ll advise you to read my article posted on this blog titled ‘how to become a publishing guru’ there you’ll get some useful information on e-books and how a person can make some cool bucks getting one on the shelf.

Though I’m not necessarily an expert on FOREX trading, but one thing I know is that it is the systematic buying and selling of currencies online, based on the currency’s current exchange rate as against the dollar. Another fact I know is that a lot of people worldwide are making good money trading FOREX and Nigerians are not exempted from this profitable venture; all you need is good knowledge on interpreting fundamental and technical analysis, avoiding bull traps, and avoid being a victim of constant market fluctuations. To know more on FOREX visit any search engine like yahoo, google, msn etc then type the key word ‘FOREX’ on the search bar, from the displayed results you can visit the links for a detailed information on FOREX trading.

Online money making ventures suitable for every person, Nigerians inclusive are so many, but it takes time to get this ideas on course, as it not as easy as it sounds, however if you have the desire and passion the sky is your limit. Online business just like any other business is profitable if well implemented and vice versa. In all; I want Nigerians to take up the courage in the midst of upheavals and bottlenecks and take their fare share of this rave going on in cyber space. As we all know one thing ‘we are the giant of Africa and the window of the world.

MAXIMISING YOUR GOD GIVEN POTENTIALS ONLINE: MY EXCERPTS "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826) U.S President . Every person; black (Negro), white (Caucasian), occidental or oriental are born with a certain trait or innate capabilities that distinguishes him/her from the others. However discovering these potentials could be tasking and might take several years or even eternity to discover. Most people live their lives imitating others and as such find it relatively difficult to discover them selves and their innate abilities oblivious of the fact that "you can only be you" . It is never wrong to have a role model or an icon to emulate; but it is wrong to live your role model. For example pop star Michael Jackson’s role model was James Brown of blessed memory who wa...
