I will be straight be you... running an online business ...like every kind of business offline requires some investments.
These investments don’t cost too much...but are necessary.So one who has a job and has money to invest...and is in better position than many other people who don’t have money to invest.
So what about people who have full time jobs...with lots of ideas and not time to execute the ideas ...what can they do?
Before I Answer That Let Me Tell You A Little Story
You know...before now , I always thought if I wanted to do anything in my online business I had to do it myself.- I had to create blogs myself
- I had to create content by myself
- I had to maintain my sites by myself
- I had to crate videos and audio if i wanted by myself
- I had to create graphics by myself
But ...like many people who have day time jobs...I could not catch up. I was delaying and postponing all my activities.
I was making a big mistake.
This may be the same mistake you may be making right now.
But I realized I was making a mistake when I interviewed a friend who has 74 websites and has 10 employees.
He was paying these guys to run his websites for him.
He was using his money to build his online business.
He was investing his money into building his online assets...
He was doing something called ...OUTSOURCING.
He Was Paying People To Work For Him
And that right there...is the super tip that will help you start an run your own online business without actually doing a thing.All you do is use your money to get people to create your online asset.
By online asset I mean:
- Blogs
- Forums
- Products
- Services
- Software

Locally , you can post an add on NairaLand.com to get Nigerian writers.
3. Graphic Work
Graphic works is needed online . you need graphics for you posts , articles , products and many other purposes.
