Top 3 Business Ideas For Stay-At-Home Persons

All you have to do is find someone who has created what people want and market it yourself for a certain percentage commission.

It could be 30%, 50%, 70% and you can find such products on a marketplace like Expertnaire.

Expertnaire is an online platform that allows Experts (those with quality information, knowledge and expertise) to list and sell their products on their marketplace.

And other people who want to make some money can help them sell those products and smile to the bank.

Let me explain better.

I consider myself to be someone who is an expert at creating valuable knowledge products (books, videos,courses etc) Over the years, I have created knowledge products and sold tons of them on different areas like:

• Relationship
• Business
• Health and fitness, etc.
  

I have also taught a lot of people how to do the same.

There is no doubt that one of the surest ways to build an online business and generate a lot of income is by creating and selling products that share valuable information in formats like e-books, videos etc.

But the truth is this:

At the end of the day, most people can’t create their own high demand knowledge products to sell for various reasons.

E.g. Some just don’t get it regardless of how easy I try to make it.

Some just don’t have the time because of their job and other life issues.

Some just have other unexplainable reasons.

This is not only in Nigeria.

It happens to people all over the world.

So, someone (I actually don’t know who started this but that person must be one brilliant son or daughter of a mother) came up with this concept where you can sell another person’s product online and get a part of the commission.

In many cases, you can even use the same marketing materials that person created to sell the product and get paid (how interesting).

That is how the Clickbank marketplace was launched back in the day.

On Clickbank, there are 2 groups of people.

The first group are known as merchants.

These are people who are able to create high value products (digital) and list them on the Clickbank marketplace along with the marketing material to sell them.

The second group are the affiliates who simply sign up on Clickbank and what they do is to pick any product from the Clickbank marketplace.

For each product, there is something called an affiliate link attached to it.

It usually looks like this:

https://merchantwebsite.com/affiliatecode

All the affiliate has to do is to find people who are most likely going to be interested in that product and recommend the product to them through his affiliate link so that they can buy through the link.

So let’s say a merchant lists a product about “dog training” and let’s say the product sells for $40.

The merchant can now set an affiliate commission for the product.

Let’s say 50% which is most common.

What this means is, if an affiliate makes a sale of the product (via his affiliate link), he gets paid 50% of that $40 which is $20.

Are you following me here?

Good.

Unfortunately, Clickbank blocked-out Nigerians.

Whatever was the reason, many Nigerians still find a way to register on Clickbank though but most of them (about 99.9%) don’t generate any income because they don’t know how to market and because they are competing with other well trained and experienced affiliates from all over the world.

I actually told you all this long story to help you understand the concept of selling other people’s digital products.

So, Let’s Go Back to Expertnaire.

On Expertnaire, Nigerians with quality knowledge based digital products can list them along with marketing materials that makes selling them easier for affiliates.

Then affiliates can sign up to the Expertnaire platform, pick one or more products like “10X Ecommerce Masterclass” to market and use the affiliate links of each product to market them.

When someone buys the product via the affiliates’ link, the affiliate will get a commission for that product.

Let’s say you are promoting a mainstream product (a mainstream product is a product that appeals to a mass audience)

Then let’s say you have about 2000 people on your FB friends list who are at least 28 years upwards.

Next, let’s say you make a post on your FB wall where you are simply recommending an article on the product for others to go and read:

If you have at least 2000 active people on your FB/Instagram/Whatsapp friends list who are between ages 28-45, many of them will read the article, click on the affiliate link there and many will buy immediately.

Just imagine promoting a product like 10X Ecommerce Masterclass and for every person who joins the program you get 40% commission (N14,000).
