How i started my online business

In 2024, as I approached graduation, the idea of working a typical 9-to-5 job in Nigeria made me uneasy. Remembering my IT internship, I felt stuck—it was all too routine, doing tasks that didn’t excite me. Being confined to an office, surrounded by bright lights and walls made me feel overwhelmed.

I wanted more. I wanted a job that matched what I love, where I could do what I wanted and go where I liked..

But I knew dreams demanded more than just wishes; they required action and persistence. Unfortunately, Nigeria’s economy lacked stability, with minimum wage barely affording any freedom, leaving aspiring entrepreneurs like myself without a safety net.

And so, my journey began, fueled by determination and a strong desire to pave my own way to success.

Finding Your Passion

Many people make this mistake. Many people make this mistake by switching from one business idea to another because they haven’t found what they really love doing. Starting out, I lacked a clear passion, merely a desire to make money.

But I soon realized that genuine passion demands more than ambition; it requires deep devotion and excitement. As I delved into learning from others and sharing my knowledge, my passion blossomed.

Exploring Revenue Streams

When starting an online business, it’s crucial to consider two types of revenue streams: active and passive. Active income involves earning money for services rendered, while passive income is earned without actively working for it. While passive income might sound great for money freedom, starting with active income is usually better for beginners. It helps you grow your business gradually and feel more satisfied.
