This cybercafé business is in high demand based by people. People like to and are ready to spend money on airtimes daily whether it is expensive or not for the purpose of business transaction, of romantic chat, of information, entertainment , of exams results online, Matriculate form online or the search of information on business, money, health, subject, etc.
That is where you come in if you can. This cybercafé business is a real source of goldmine. It is money-spinning any person whether they are computer engineer or not can take advantage of this opportunity for their business.
My uncle made over N12, 000 a day daily selling cybercafé (airtime tickets) plus other computer services at Obantoko street, Ogun state, Nigeria he knew nothing. He never went to computer training to learn as apprenticeship in way to become either a typist or computer engineer.
He was not only but also other one person I read in the Success Digest Extra(SDE) paper made N2.5 million in two years selling photocopying service plus other computer services in his business he knew nothing. How do they do it? Simply. Let me tell you how they come to this opportunity.
Maybe because my uncle moved to set up this business quickly when he saw or heard that pupils, secondary school students and undergraduate students were required to go to any cybercafé to look for information on a subject with homework assignments, print it and bring it to school. That is where he came in. There are some many schools and colleges far and near coming to his business in the same place every other day.
Now, the same poor person who set up a shop near the NEPA Company for serving his musical skill as well as dubbing cassettes for churches and other people in Lagos discovered this business opportunity offered by his wife though he was not of passion for future computer service as long as she noticed people kept asking us if we did photocopying in our service we did not offer the service. And he moved this business with just N24, 500 he had in his pocket.
Okay, let me make an instance about the awesome profit of cybercafé business. Assume you have five (5) systems in your business, and you sell one hour airtime tickets to 20 cybercafé consumers at N100 each, how much do you make money 12 hours a day? That is N2000 per day daily depending on network. But what if you add other computer services such as scanning, photocopy, wireless, lamination, colour printer, computer training, spiral binding, typesetting etc?
That is huge profit. That is money-spinning. But there are only three (3) things that can affect your business. The number one is poor service provided by the networking operators you connect for business, the second is irregular public power supply especial in Nigeria and the last is virus within your systems customers use their flashes for downloading or files or download the PDF e-books. Therefore, you should face these challenges and defeat it before you can make your way to fast business. Okay?
Now, let me start with the following steps that get you started in your business.
Step1: Start with whatever you have in your pocket.
Step2:Plan by going out and asking about the cost of second-hand desktop, flat monitor, mouse, keyword, etc as a test. Whatever you find it is so cheap, buy it quickly and keep it at home. It saves your money. But for business, better buy Pentium3, 4 or 5 at the wholesaling market, depending on your money. It is good because it makes you and other customers speed. Just detail how much computer accessories cost you. Test it by comparing the price of computer accessories with others.
Step3:Go to any excellent networking service like GLO, CoolLink, Yahclick, IPNXNigeria, Vsat, Linkserve, etc and ask them how much they cost you for using their service for cybercafé business monthly as a test. Tell them you want to use their service for cybercafé business. They may reduce cost for the service. Don’t choose poor networking service.
Don’t choose a networking service that cost you high monthly for using high internet speed in their service if you know your customers can not afford the cost for browsing.
Better choose a service for fair internet speed at low price. I recommend you to try IPNXNigeria or Linkserve because it is good. I experience it. I spent money on airtime tickets through this the business owner used a paid monthly IPNXNigeria service for cybercafé business. But I don’t know how much they cost you. Choose to compare one internet service’s rate with another one.
Step4: Choose to locate where there are people in the well-trodden routes or busy road. Location is important you need to look outside for good one or good and friendly environment. Or you can locate near the high school, Public power supply officials or post officials. It is good. It can make you fast money daily.
Step5: Choosing a shop ensures that it has a wide space which gives customers comfort. Customers are king and queens you need to respect them by giving them what they want.
Step6:Decide what airtime you want to sell, what price you want to sell airtime tickets. Remember proper and affordable price attract customers. You can sell any price depending on local. What time and what day you want to start operating by opening and closing daily.
Step7:Start introducing people to your business by setting up a poster side your business. Your customers will help you to sell their mouths for you if your service attracts them. Remember plan every thing well before you start spending disbursements on cybercafé obligations.
Now, let tell you the truth before you may start business. What makes your employees easily to cheat your business is scanning, colour or black printing, photocopying as well as lacking sale record I ever experienced where I worked with my uncle at Obantoko street, Ogun state.
Therefore, you must watch it yourself by taking responsible to record each time you sell. For doing photocopy, you must check the number to know how much you or your employees spend and how much you profit by opening and closing daily in your record.
The photocopying is important you must watch well. If you want to grow fast in your business, you must take responsible to account money and record it each time you sell computer services yourself. The trick to earn more money daily is to sell ready foods beside your business like frozen minerals, water drinks, snacks, biscuit, etc.
