Money... That's the watchword, password, whatever. We need a lot of it in school, you'll agree. By heaven, I keep needing more of it each week. So many things to spend money on - friends, girls, churches, clothes, shoes, accessories like phones, ipods etc.
Incidentally, needing and having are two different states, you see. I guess we all are in the first state. How do we cross over to the second state? Shall I start by saying, painful but the truth, not all of us will make it on campus. In UNILAG, I hear there are 30, 000 students. Out of this population, some innovative, business minds brought up ideas to give some services to the community & incidentally make some money in the process - lagbook.ning.com, funseekas.com, nigeriandream.webs.com, abetternigeria.webs.com, unilag.blogspot.com... You wouldn't be wrong if you added my blog to the list too. Heh!
Everybody is thinking of how to make money, but you'll find that those who actually make it are those who think of sorting out a problem. Now, you need to think out of the box. Get that selfish brain to start thinking about other people. Online businesses aren't the only way to make money, but they sure are straightforward if you find the right service and link it to the right target market. Lagbook found it and called it social networking for UNILAG students, funseekas found it and gave a site for people to publish events (past, present or future) on the site, I'm feeding your hunger for info and gossip, among other things... What you need to do is to find the service you can render to Akokites. Don't worry yet about monetizing it, that'll come later. What do we hunger for? What do Akokites want? What can you offer?
If you aren't ready for all this thinking, but still want to make some money online, your opportunities for earning the big bucks would be radically reduced, but you would earn money all the same. You could become a co-author on http://akokite.blogspot.com... All you need to do is send "Interested" to theakokite@yahoo.com and ask to be made co-author. You can't copy posts from others sites. Your uploads must be your thoughts.
You could offer to spread the word and pull in traffic to some sites. Simply, inviting your friends, whichever signs up, you are paid an amount depending on the traffic you pull and your contract with your employer.
However, if you are ready to think, follow http://akokite.blogspot.com, comment on this blog showing your interest and you will receive a newsletter on how to earn on the Internet.
