All About The Nigeria Internet Business Conference That Held On 30th June, 2017 at Ibadan

This Year’s edition of NIBC that is the 3rd edition, took place at NIGERIA INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC RESEARCH (NISER) CONFERENCE ROOM, Ajibode Ibadan and it was sponsored by VCONNECT and several other notable brands in Nigeria. I was invited as one of the main speakers and panelists for the event. It was indeed a mind blowing and life changing event. Alot of participants were in attendance and they were richly blessed by the eye opening speeches from the speakers.

Lukmon Fasasi Adedayo, who is a Nigerian Blogger, Author and content developer is the organizer of Nigeria Internet Business Conference(NIBC) which has seen two previous editions.

The conference, which was debuted on the Obafemi Awolowo University  Campus Ile – Ife, Osun State in 2015, has had the Vice Chancellor of American Internet Business School; Dr. Ope Banwo, renowned digital marketing expert and the founder of Digital Marketing School; Stephen Akintayo, as keynote speakers.

This year’s conference is tagged “Harnessing From The Benefits Of The Internet” . It was a free event and the main objective of the conference is to expose young Nigerians to legal and occupational ways to make money online and therefore improve their living standards and the economy as well.

NIBC 2017 was indeed a huge success and some of the speakers and panelists in attendance includes,

Chief Relationship Officer Cherry Brooks Media-Mr David Olumuyiwa Dada, CEO Vconnect – Deepankar Rustagi, Representative from Barr. Abdur-Raheem Adebayo(Minister For Communication), Okodugha Omotola-Host of Talk with Tolla, Actor Yomi Fabiyi, Owomoyela Nifemi (Peteru) -Mc/COMEDIAN, Ayinoluwa Akinyemi(Lawyer), Adegoke Pamilerin – Digital Marketer and Brand Builder, Omokowajo Gabriel (MC Gabbi), OAP/Compere, YOMINIGERIA Africa Publicity and campaign manager, Olufemi Penzaar Oguntamu – CEO/Creative Director, Penzaarville,  My Humble Self- Aderonke Bamidele, Blogger, Internet Business Coach And Entrepreneur among other great speakers.

Many are in doubt as to the chance of making money on the Internet. That is simply because some people have fallen victim to fraudsters who use fake identities to deceive individuals with promises of quick money to be made.

Alot of cash can be made online. It’s simply unending, you can not exhaust it.

Everybody is saying things are tough in Nigeria, there’s absolutely no cash but you see tall buildings being erected everyday. Infact, you might have some ongoing real estate development near your neigbourhood now. You see new automobiles on the road and you are aware these are multi-million naira cars. Not everybody is stealing cash to acquire these funds. We have many folks doing real businesses.

The major problem majority of people have about making money on the internet is that, they do not have value to provide to alot of people in exchange for their money. When I talk about value; I am speaking about services and products which people are genuinely interested in spending money on and will also profusely thank you after paying for these products and services. You also need to learn how to leverage on other people’s effort in return for a commission.

At NIBC 2017, I talked about a number of legitimate internet jobs/businesses that beginners may start with. The daily routine of working from dawn to dusk will soon be a thing of the past because digital jobs that offer flexible working hours are gradually taking over the world of work. People can now earn a living in the confines of their homes. There are opportunities to make money on the Internet more than before. It is possible to make money online although there are challenges to be overcome.”

Many men and women think that money is made easily on the web with only a click of their mouse, forgetting that the cash can only be earned through hard work.

Content is Vital

Content is your currency in the digital space. If you would like to create money on the internet, then you have to have an engaging material. In order to have the ability to create money from the world wide web, you should have digital abilities. You have to have sufficient tips you will promote to individuals.

You will find individuals who have notebooks and smartphones with internet access and yet they’re still begging people for money on the pretext they don’t have work. There’s level playing field without any discrimination against age and nationality, so long as the professional can deliver the results. Your sex or location Isn’t a Hurdle either.

One of the speakers at event, Chief Relationship Officer Cherry Brooks Media-Mr David Olumuyiwa Dada, was kind enough to show a proof of some of his earnings on Fiverr to the participants. I was even amazed myself because he was doing it part time. He realized over a thousand dollars in the month of June alone, just working part time on Fiverr. If someone as busy as that could create time out of his busy schedule to still make money online, then what is your excuse?

A lot of people will buy materials online and after failing to utilize the information the way they should, they would start blaming the person that sold the information to them, and the next minute, their final conclusion would either be ”Internet business is a scam or the person that sold the information is a scam”

Many people go to school and come out in flying colours, yet some still end up as drop outs from the same institution, do you call that institution a scam or is it the lecturers you would tag as scam? No

But the way it works with online business, once you go for a training or you buy a book and you encounter a small issue utilizing the information or you are even too lazy to utilize it, the next thing you do is to tag internet business or the person you bought the materials from a scam. Be responsible for your own actions, stop blaming people for every issue you have.

Till date, I don’t have a mentor on online business, and I have never attended any training on online marketing. I learnt and I am still learning everything on my own. I only buy courses online and I also make use of free resources too.

It was only last year that I started hiring people to do stuffs for me because of my busy schedule and I have been into online business for the past four years. When I started my online business as a newbie then, I created my contents on my own, I designed websites myself, did graphics work myself, proof read myself, wrote sales copy myself and several other stuffs I cannot even remember now. I failed severally learning some of these things, but I didn’t give up. I made my mistakes and I corrected them without blaming anyone for it.

Even as an amateur then, I still made my money. So tell me again, what is your excuse?

If you fail at something and others are doing well at it, you need to check yourself and observe what others are doing right that is working for them and aspire to get better at what you do. If you don’t lose hope and you believe you will also achieve success at that thing, yes, you will achieve success. It’s all about being consistent and being positive minded.

If you buy a material online, you should endeavor to know more than the original creator of that material and the only way to achieve this is to use the Internet and do further research to learn about the topic better. That is my secret. I don’t limit my knowledge by buying courses from just one person, I buy from as many authors as possible so as to broaden my knowledge.

But a lot of people are too lazy to expand their knowledge. There was a time in Nigeria I was buying information products from all the Internet marketers, both the gurus &upcoming ones. Not because I don’t have knowledge on what they are selling but because I wanted to know everything they knew.

I could remember when I was in school studying Geology and there was this lecturer of mine that was always giving me poor marks. I was very good in cramming back then so I would cram everything and give it back to him word for word and he kept failing me.

So I decided to approach him one day to know why I kept failing his course. Then he checked one of my scripts and he said, I told you in my class that you should not give me what I teach you. I only teach you those topics so you can know what to read on. Do your own research, understand these topics and use your own words to answer my questions. Until you’re able to do this, you will keep having poor grades.

I took his advise and I was able to pass his course brilliantly well at my next attempt.

If you’re reading this, I would advise you take my advice too.  Try to broaden your knowledge on any business you want to go into. When some people come across some of my articles, they would call me and say, ”I can’t read those articles, please summarize it for me” You want to make money online and you think you will achieve this by just the summary? If making money online is as easy as that, we would all be billionaires by now.

When you go to school to study a course, didn’t you read to pass your exams? So why would you want to go into affiliate marketing business online and you expect not to read? Internet business is also a career on its own. The only difference between online business and offline business is that, Internet is being used to carry out online businesses, so if you study for offline courses, why won’t you want to study for online courses as well?

A lot of people believe that they can make money by pressing some few buttons on their computer and the money would keep coming in. No, you will read first and after that apply what you’ve read. It is the application of the information you’ve taken in that would then transform you. This transformation is what would reflect in your financial life.

It doesn’t happen by magic and it does not happen overnight. Most people go into online business with the wrong mind set and that is why a lot of people give up before they even get started.

I’m planning of opening an Internet business school in Nigeria in the nearest future. When you apply to take a course in my school and they give you courses to take, and you refuse to read them, how do you intend to come out in flying colours and possibly collect your certificate after graduation? So you must master the art of reading if you want to venture into online business.

It is the application of what you read that you will use to make money and become your own boss. Handle your online business like a real offline business. Approach it like it’s the only option you’ve got. Do it like a do or die affair. Be consistent and see if you wont become successful in it.

That was my driving force, I knew the only option I had was online business after I was being criticized  several times from people who were supposed to assist me get me a job that time. Eachtime I approach them to assist me in getting a job, they were not willing to assist me so they try to look for an excuse instead and the first question they ask me is why would I study geology, to get a job as a lady in that field is always hard, I should have studied something else instead of Geology, bla bla bla. I got tired of this rejection because I didn’t have the connection to get a good job in that field.

I knew the only option I had left was to pursue a career online. I was only using the Internet at that time as a form of entertainment, I could chat on yahoo messenger the whole day.  I was always commenting on blogs and giving relationship advice, lol. I would read gossip blogs because I wanted to know the latest news on my favorite celebrities, I would entertain myself through online videos and music. It was really crazy back then…

When I realized I could make money online, I just channeled my energy and passion into doing something more productive and that gave birth to my online business success today. The only thing you need to be successful online is passion. I used to love the Internet, now I love Internet businesses instead.

You also need to believe in what you do, if you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.

I have been online for the past 4 years and I just started getting recognition for my work. In just three months, I got 3 awards and more are still on the way(Honorary award of excellence in Information entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship merit award, and award of recognition) All in 3 months…

It’s all about consistency. Put God first, be consistent in what you do, never give up, even when others don’t believe in what you do, so long you believe in it. Keep at it, keep working harder and your efforts would definitely pay off sooner or later.

There is this saying that Everybody cannot make money online, I disagree with that statement, everybody who has passion to make money online can make money online but not everybody can make money online doing the same thing.

For example, because I’m Into forex trading and making money with forex trading does not mean you can also pursue that and make the same money I’m making. You need to find something that resonates with your passion. Something that is In line with your passion, it is that passion that would now drive you to success. So even if the money isn’t forth coming yet, the passion will keep you going.

There are so many online businesses that I don’t like to do, so I don’t even bother myself learning about them, even if you want to teach me for free, I won’t accept the offer. This is more like studying medicine when you don’t even like seeing blood, but because your elder brother is a medical doctor, you decided to pursue medicine and when the challenges of being a medical student came, you couldn’t bear it because the driving force was not there.

The passion you have isn’t enough to sustain you during those challenges, so you had drop out of medicine because you couldn’t take the heat. Do you then say medicine is a scam?

That is how it works with online business too, you need to find businesses that you know can work for you. You shouldn’t say because Linda Ikeji is making millions as a gossip blogger, you must also blog about entertainment and gossip. Are you willing to pay the price she paid? Are you willing to work 18hrs per day sourcing for latest news online? If you can’t answer these questions boldly then find something else that would work perfectly for you.

You don’t have to follow the crowd. There are more profitable niches out there that you can blog on.

Also, there are over a hundred ways to make money online. No matter what your passion is, you will find something you can do online, no matter how small your start up capital is, there would always be an online business you can start with and you need to stay focused on one business at a time, when you are successful at it, then you can move to other businesses. That is how I am able to create multiple streams of income online..
