"7 Reasons Why You Must Start An Online Business In 2017"

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 in foreign currency. Online business like affiliate marketing is one of the most profitable online businesses in the world that is capable of earning millions of Naira within the shortest period of time. Yet, Nigerians are not trooping into it.

From my personal research, the major reason why most Nigerians are not trooping into affiliate marketing 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. I mean the likes of John chow, ewen chia, anik, paschal okafor, Nnamani etc. they are all reputable affiliate marketers and not survey, hyip, ponzy schemes users etc.

For a newbie that do not have an idea of what affiliate marketing is all about, see simple example below.

X owns a product, you sell the product to y and x pays you a commission based on the number of sales you help him made.
