4. Let me introduce you to the hottest and
sweetest legitimate online business that
you will ever find on the net. What
business is that? It is the import
business

5. WHAT IS MINI IMPORTATION
Importation business is obviously one of the most lucrative business
in the world. Mini Importation business refers to a business in which
you buy goods from abroad (Europe, Asia, America etc) at
wholesales prices and resell it in your locality for good profit.
Believe me, good money is being made from this evergreen
business

6. WHAT YOU NEED TO START MINI
IMPORTATION
CAPITAL
The importation business DOES
NOT require a huge sum of capital.
All you need is a proper guide with
the right idea, a little capital to kick
start your business. You can kick
start a successful importation
business with less than #20,000, and
before you know it, you would be
making double of your investment
capital

7. GOODS
Just like any other business, before you start, you
need to deliberate on what you would be selling;
this is probably the first step in starting a
successful business. The same method works for
the importation business. You need to make an
extensive research on what to sell. The
importation business is a dynamic business; it
deals with season, geographical location and
budget. When deciding on what to buy,
consideration must be given to how much people
are willing to invest in buying your proposed
goods, do they really need the product or it’s just
for luxury, what is the age range of your targeted
customer, their annual income e.t.c

8. PROMOTION
If you don’t tell people you’re into a particular business, they
would never assume you’re into it. As an importer, you must do
all you can to promote your business, across all platform,
through words of mouth, through business cards, through
friends; all possible means. That’s when people will get to know
you’re into the importation business. Promotion is crucial to
making sales. The idea is to make as much noise about your
business as you can, reason being that, it’s difficult to get
people that would take you serious when you’re just starting
out, which means an extra level of promotion is required to
establish a brand for yourself, but once you’ve been able to put
the word out there, you’re on your way to making huge profit
on your business.

9. SALES
The idea behind every business is a simple logic; buy
cheaper sell a little bit higher than purchase rate, the
difference between the purchase rate and selling rate is
what makes the difference, which is popularly referred to
as profit

10. SALES
After ordering your goods from the store, no matter
how cheap you buy, all expenses involved in getting
the goods to Nigeria must be considered when
deciding your selling price

11. MARKET
This has to do with WHERE to
buy your goods online, there are
various websites where you can
source cheap goods online, but
few of this websites are trusted,
and if proper care is not taken, a
newbie might end up losing
money rather than making
profits.
