And if you’re not familiar with social media, Miller suggested you take online courses to understand how to use such platforms to build up your business. “Quite simply, social media must be viewed as a forum for interacting with customers and conducting day-to-day business,” she added.

Follow @NigeriaPI In view of the unstable economy and unexpected job losses, entrepreneurs and enterprising individuals are advised to start businesses that require no capital. A few of such business ideas with money-making potential are discussed below: Ghostwriting for professionals Professional, most times, look for ways to promote their services but have limited time to create content that will attract new clients. A business consultant, Mr. Bose Adekunle, says some of them have websites and social media pages but are unable to post content regularly. According to her, there are two business options available from the challenges these professionals face. One is the opportunity to write articles that can be posted regularly on the websites. The other is the management of the business’ social media pages. She says, “Accountants, lawyers, medical practitioners, health and safety consultants, and small business owners fall into the category of people who will appreciate the services of a ghostwriter. Many of them are willing to pay someone with good writing skills to engage their online audience and educate their followers. “To excel in this type of business, you have to choose an area to specialise in. It means that you need to have in-depth knowledge and be aware of emerging trends in the area of practice. If you are committed to it, you can strike a deal with more than five professionals at reasonable rates, and earn a steady monthly income.” Games, music lessons for preschool kids Adekunle says kids in preschools learn through activities that seem playful. For instance, they can learn more about water and sand when they play with them. She...
