There have never been better times for a Nigerian to start an online business like now, especially when the online business is the type that will pay you over N500,000 monthly. Online business like Bulk SMS is one of the most profitable online businesses  today
From my personal research, the major reason why most Nigerians are not trooping intobulk sms business is because Nigerians are still in a tender stage of fully understanding online business. At this tender stage, people who want to make money online focus on programs that are built on shaky foundations. Such programs include hyip, ponzy schemes, online surveys etc. although this programs provide an elusive earnings potential that can lure newbies into joining them but my task to this newbies is that they should go and check what the big internet guns that are reputable for making millions online what exactly are they doing.

Below are the reasons Why You Should Start A Profitable Online Business(Bulk SMS) In 2017

1. More freedom

starting an online business gives you more freedom. It will give you more free time to spend with your Family and Friends. This is what most busy people crave for. If you are one of them, then consider very seriously about starting your own online business. Keep in mind that it will be beneficial to automate your business to the best you can so even if you are not spending time online, it will keep making you money.

2. Work your own hours

When you start your own online business, you create your own working hours. Some people like to work late at night (including myself) and others prefer to work early in the morning. You have the freedom to choose the hours that in your opinion make you feel more comfortable and the same time more productive. Remember you are the boss .

3. No overhead expenses

With an online business you do not have to worry about any operational expenses like leasing a building, paying utilities, paying employees, etc. To run an online business you only need a computer, a good connection to the internet, a willing to learn mindset and tangible sources to learn from. Things are changing fast now that so many online businesses can be carried out using our mobile phones.

4. Easy to start

You don't have to be a genius to start your own online business and you don't need any well guarded secrets to make easy money online. It's all about know-how. You can get a good eBook or a good program at next to no cost that can teach you about online business and how to apply the different strategies to promote your website and have a successful online business. You can start making money on the internet as soon as you are willing to put some effort on your part.

5. The whole world is your market

You will be able to make real money online because you can do business anywhere in the world and it doesn't matter where you live. You can live in Ajegunle and do legitimate business with people in U.k or with people in Canada. It makes no difference. With an online business the opportunities are endless because the internet is a global Village.

6. Affordable

Unlike a regular offline business like a Provision store, a restaurant, Transportation business, health or any type of these businesses, starting an online business requires very little start up capital. As a matter of fact, you can start with less than N5000 or nothing. This amount is to cover the basic needs like the domain name, web hosting, autoresponder, etc this is when necessary. Some of the most successful online marketers today started their online business on a shoestring.

7. A 24 hours business

Your business will be running 24 hours a day 7 days a week with nobody complaining about it. You see, after you automate your online business the best you can and that should be one of your main goals, then you don't need to spend more than a few hours on your computer but the internet will be working for you and making you profits 24 / 7. Nothing beats making money on the internet 24 hours a day working just a few hours a week.



Conclussion: Procrastinating if you should start your Online business? Remember the words of Napoleon hills In His Think And Grow Rich, he said "the best time to start is now either you are ready or not because if you are waiting for the right time you will end up never starting.

Get Updated Nigerian Mobile Phone Numbers

Advertising is a vital part of any business, it is practically the reason why companies like Google, Jumia, Microsoft, Samsung, LG, Techno mobile, MTN Nigeria, GloMobile, Etisalat, Airtel, Nairabet and many others are succeeding and it is also partly the reason why some are no longer in business and basically the reason some are in business but not making reasonable profits.

When GSM was introduced to Nigeria in 2003, many people thought it will be one of those Government projects that will not stand the test of time but today, Nigeria has over 113 ACTIVE GSM lines (According to NCC).
With this trend, advertising has taken a new dimension; with mobile messaging technology using bulk SMS websites like www.smsbulknigeria.com smart people are already harnessing the power of bulk SMS to increase their customer base. Every day, I receive between 2-4 SMS from MTN and Glo to either use the latest music as caller tune or subscribe to a data plan and most times, I respond to these SMS.
Whether you have a product to sell, services you want to market or you have an announcement to make such Political campaign, Crusade etc, we have answers to the most effective means of reaching millions of Nigerians all at once. With us, you can reach 80% of the Nigerian population instantly.

Bitter Facts About Advertising in Nigeria:

Many Nigerians spend between N50,000 – N1,000,000 advertising in newspapers, Radio and Television stations daily with the sole aim of reaching out to Hundreds, Thousands or perhaps Millions of people but most times this becomes counter-productive because irrespective of the huge amount spent on these advertising channels, only a few people gets converted. You will agree with me that except there is a breaking news of national interest, hardly will you find 200,000 Nigerians reading a newspaper a day out of more than the 150 million Nigerian populace, isn't that shocking?
Most appalling is that only a few people maybe "retirees" cares to read the newspaper page by page without skipping to their area of interest may be Sports, Entertainment etc. Election bells are ringing everywhere in Nigeria and campaigns for the 2015 General Elections has commenced in full force on social media, Print and everywhere; a clear indication that Politicians are NOT 'DULLING' at all in ensuring their victory. While some are still begging to be recognized, some have gone far beyond recognition. The difference is in packaging using only the right channels.

But Why Bulk SMS?

Why not radio, TV or newspaper? You may not know have been told this but, current statistics shows that; only about 9% of Nigerians actually watch TV daily, about 19% listen to radio daily, just about 4% read newspapers daily, Less than 2% actively use the internet daily BUT about 50% of Nigerians use GSM phone daily; with this statistics, it becomes clearer that the best way to reach an average Nigerian is via SMS text messaging.
We have about 21 million fresh (VERIFIED) Nigerian phone numbers of all states in Nigeria including FCT Abuja so you can be rest assured whatever message you are passing through will be received all over the country instantly.
UPDATE: We have updated our Phone number database with the last INEC 2015 General election data. What this means is that you can now have access to over 80% of phone numbers of Nigerians that voted in the last general election.

How to Activate Your ATM Card for Online Payments

If you are a Nigerian and possibly the type that plays around shopping websites here in Nigeria, no doubt you may have heard of such terms as Safetoken, OTP, Quickteller, Interswitch etc. Have you ever tried to use your card online and you were asked to enter OTP or that you cannot continue because you have not activated your card for Safetoken?

What is Safetoken?

safetoken activation
It is a system that generates a 6-8 digit code known as OTP(One-Time-Password) whenever you initiate a transaction via any Interswitch Web Payment Platform. It is important for you to know that your bank can set a limit on your card as to the maximum amount you can pay with your card online. In most cases, the amount can be very ridiculous but if you ask me, I think it is a fraud control mechanism aimed at safeguarding your funds.
 

So what happens if I need to pay a higher amount?

To use your card successfully, you have to activate it for this service. Safetoken activation does not require much technically. All you have to do is visit your bank and request for your card to be activated. Alternatively, you can do a self-activation using any Nigerian bank Interswitch enabled ATM. (I personally recommend this method as it you will be able to know if activation is successful or not just in few minutes)

SAFETOKEN ACTIVATION STEPS:

Self Activation using the ATM machine.

1)  Visit any nearest ATM
2)  Insert your card
3)  Type in your PIN
4)  Select Quickteller or Pay Bills (depending on the configuration of the ATM)
5)  Select “Pay bills” (If you selected Quickteller in step 4 above)
6)  Select “Others”
7)  Enter 322222 when asked for payment/biller code
8)  Choose your account type (Savings/Current)
9)  Enter your phone number as ‘Customer Reference’
10) Re-enter your phone number when asked to enter phone number.
11) You will get a display “Do you want to make this payment?” Amount Due:N1
12) Click on “Pay amount due
13) Press proceed when prompted for a N100 convenience fee charge

"Transaction Completed" will be displayed on the ATM screen successful else some other messages like "Not Completed" "Transaction Failed" etc will be displayed.


Hope this helps?

If you need help with any of the steps above, do not hesitate to call us on 08066182710

NOTE:
  • Please note that you will be charged a total sum of N101.00 only with N100 being the convenience fee.
  •  When successfully activated, you may be prompted to send a code to 32122 to generate the OTP which would be sent to your phone via text whenever you are about to make payments on local websites.
  • The OTP is authorized by the Strong Authentication Server residing at the switch or at the issuing bank.
  • Activation is only on Interswitch enabled cards such as Verve Card & Mastercard
