Day 5: small businesses you can start with 100,000 Naira only

 Now Day 5 considers Books, most Nigerians are now aware of the importance of reading non academic books to broaden their horizons and more importantly some books that can change people’s life. I did an article a while ago looking at Top 100 Books that Change the World, I may bring back the serialization in future. Motivational books and autobiography can be an inspiration to both young and old, so this genre would sell quicker if you choose to go for it. Amazon built a fortune selling just books before they diversified! 

A lot of buying and selling is going on right now on the internet and therefore you don’t need a shop or even a website; you need to be disciplined though and reach out to people you already know and then go on from there. We would give you examples of what you can sell, where to find them and how to sell them!
Books  – Selling books can be very inspiring as you are tempted to read them yourself to broaden your knowledge or just for fun. There are a few good Nigerian authors whom people can easily relate to; some of these books are written by Religious Leaders and their roles are becoming more of a life coach and counsellor than just figure heads of churches! Apart from making money from this, you should feel a sense of purpose as a single book can turn a person’s life around instantaneously! I always feel there must be a purpose to a business much greater than making money so if you, like me believe it then go out and make a difference.
