Do you have a business Idea? Let me show you how to make money with it

Do you have a business Idea? Let me show you how to make money with it.

So many people complain of lack of employments, yes, it’s true especially in Nigeria. A lot of students who graduate from the universities and polytechnics come home after their youth service and become baba and mama of the house without knowing how to make money.

A graduate was not supposed to spend years in school, walking in the rain, the sun, just to end up sitting in the house. Let me delve a little, permit me, please. Most people have this mentality of “Let me get admission into a Higher institution so that I will have a good job when I graduate.” They forget to ask their selves this particular question “What if I don’t get a good job after graduation?” You know in those days, our parents used to say; “go to school so that you will be somebody in future” yes, they were not mistaken when they said so, but it has two different interpretations. 1. So that you get a good job and make money. 2. So that you can have creative ideas and also widen your horizon which will help u make money.

Do you believe that good business owners make more money than civil servants or those that work for people? I guess you know that.

Now as someone who has gone to school, even though you have not attended the University, in today’s world, people are really smart, and God had blessed man with creativity which he can use in making any amount of money he needs.

 Before I let you know how to make money with your creative ideas, let me share this little story.

A few years ago, two friends went out for a party, they spent time not knowing that it was already late and they were to go back to a far distant place, but there was no cab to take them home. One of the guys said to the other; “How I wish there is an online transportation, where you can order for driving services and the driver will come and pick you at any time of the day to your destination.” The other friend then replied; “wow, that is a wonderful idea. How can we get that done?” the guy said he can get it done but he would be needing funds to start up. He brought the Idea and the other friend brought the capital. They began the business and now, that business is worth Billions of dollars.

Do you have a good business idea that can make you money but you don’t have money to invest? Let me shock you.

There are so many rich people out there searching for where to invest their money. Some are looking for startup businesses to invest in. I know you will start saying; “how do I meet these investors?” yes all you have to do is this:

Put everything into black and white

Strategize your marketing plans

Note this; the investors will not invest in a business that does not have bright future.

In my next post, I will be talking about how to find investors.

How to Make Money in the United States without working permit

These five steps will help you make money in the United States as a non-work approved United States resident. Everyone one knows that it is not easy to get a working permit in other to work and make money in the United States.

It is not every foreigner that is given acquiescence to live in the United States is entitled to work there. Most notably, H-4 visas holders the spouses and children under 21 of an H-1B recipient are viewed as dependents, ineligible for work in the U.S. infuriatingly, these people are also proscribed from making a living as freelancers in their home nation. Nevertheless, there are some clever and legally recognized ways to make money even on the most prohibitive visa. (Make sure you confer with a tax expert or immigration legal representative who can answer your specific questions about any of the following.)

1.    Invest in Stocks
As far as you do not make more than four trades per week (more than this would be considered day-trading), you can lawfully make earnings this way. Before you do, make sure you practice on sites like wallstreetsurvivor.com and marketwatch.com/game, which let you invest in a virtual stock market using fake money. Once you’re confident, open a real-money account with a site like zecco.com.

2.   Lend Money
Being a non-work approved U.S. resident, you can lawfully loan money to (and receive interest from) Americans wanting to start a business. Peer-to-peer lending websites like prosper.com and lendingclub.com facilitate this, whether you want to loan large lump sums to one or two borrowers or spread your money across the board. Take some time reading up on peer-to-peer lending before you decide what’s best for you and your savings.

3.   Invest in a Business 
this is very easy, you can invest money into a venture so long as you’re an entirely passive party, which means you can’t really work for the business. So, if a friend wants to open a restaurant and you want to invest, that’s fine. What’s not fine is for you to take on shifts, or even help with behind the scenes running of the joint. But there’s nothing to stop you taking the time to evaluate investment opportunities and drill probable partners on how they’ll be spending your cash.

4.   Write a Book 
Even if you may not be able to submit a manuscript for consideration in the U.S., there’s nothing to stop you sending your magnum opus to agents and publishers in the U.K. Any royalties you might receive from the U.K. while living in America fall under the heading “passive income” and are permitted. You will, however, need to declare them on a U.S. tax return. Similarly, any earnings accrued from existing investments (so long as you’re not actively working for a business) are legitimate.

5.   Enter Competitions
challenge winnings, such as lottery money, are classified as “passive income,” so you can accumulate cash and non-cash prizes without breaking any laws. That is, so long as the competition small print doesn’t stipulate that foreign nationals are banned from entering. And unlike in the U.K., U.S. law requires that you pay tax on most winnings so you might decide to focus on British-run competitions. Both here and at home, “comping” is a full-time and potentially lucrative hobby for many who don’t — or can’t — work. British financial guru Martin Lewis’s site moneysavingexpert.com offers tips on becoming a camper. But remember; always check the rules to see if you’re eligible to win. Some competition guidelines may require you to be a permanent U.K. resident. And remember that while entering competitions is fun and possibly financially rewarding, there are no guarantees. It’s up to you to judge whether this is the best use of your time.

I hope this article will help you make money in the United States without a work permit. If you have any questions kindly drop it in the comment box, thanks.
