The web is full of money making adverts of all shapes and colours: make money from home, make money fast, make money with Google, make money with Facebook, make money now. The list is endless. Each of those adverts tells us about one money making opportunity or another, always painting them in glamorous colors. Who would blame them? After all, isn’t all an advert cares to convince us to buy? In this circumstance, many of us have developed very thick skepticism about whatever may be said about making money online while others wonder if it also happens in Nigeria – After all, Nigeria has its peculiarities which we all know. The truth is that such attitude is preventing many Nigerians from joining the online community of earners and our local economy is the worse for it. In this article, I have sought to give it all out: the good, the bad and the ugly sides of making money from home or online in Nigeria. My aim is to help you make an informed choice should you consider building a career online.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF ENDURING ONLINE (OR OFFLINE) EARNING: THINK RESPONSIBLY
'The secret of wealth', they say, 'has remained the same since the first coin was minted in Asia Minor: Just find a need and fill it'. According to John Mason, 'money is the reward for solving problems for people'. To be sure, problems constitute one human constant you can find in all eras, all races, all countries, every street, every bed room. If problems are so ubiquitous, then it means that the sources of making money are ubiquitous also. And I remember those immortal words of Thomas Edison: 'don't call it a problem, call it an opportunity'. While failures tend to see problems everywhere, winners tend to see opportunities in each so called problem. So, whether online or offline, you earn money always by being useful to someone. From now think like this and you can't avoid huge wealth wherever you go.

Unless you think like this, you are mentally irresponsible. That is the secret source of every case of poverty: mentally irresponsible attitude. That's why a certain sage said that poverty is, first of all, of the mind before it is of the hand. Thinking responsibly will save you from falling a victim to every wind of money making doctrine offered around the web and offline. You get to know that money is a measure of value and not just a number or a piece of paper. To make money therefore, you must give out values in product or service so as to receive values in money and, even more, in satisfaction. Giving out value involves a kind of loss on your part which you may experience as exertion or risk or anything else your nature abhors. Henceforth, therefore, any money making doctrine that tends to promise an all out rosy path to wealth becomes suspect. Well, this is the bitter truth. But, whoever prefers the sweet lies should go ahead to seek them elsewhere.

HOW MONEY IS MADE ONLINE EVEN IN NIGERIA
