What’s Crypto Investment?

Investors buy crypto coins or tokens to hold till the value appreciates and they sell it for profit. Some stake their cryptos or loan it through exchanges for an annual percentage return. These activities doesn’t require a daily routine like crypto trading.

At a while or at maturity, the coins or tokens can be exchanged back to stable currencies like Naira and dollar.

Cryptocurrency can be a good investment if you follow the right strategies for investment, which includes having a better understanding the crypto market. You cannot afford to start crypto investment without knowing the basics of crypto business. At this early stage of crypto market, it’s a highly profitable investment, with a long term assessment.

If you are hoping to invest now and reap it the next day you would be wrong. The shortest possible time to expect any reasonable return on your crypto investment is between 12 months and 5 years.

Crypto Investment Versus Trading

There’s difference between crypto investment and crypto trading. Although, what’s more popular and mostly advertised is crypto trading. Not much is explained about crypto investment.

Trading involves the pair for two crypto currencies or with an asset. Wikipedia summaries crypto trading as Cryptocurrency exchange that allows customers to trade cryptocurrencies for other assets. The purpose is to make quick gains, daily or depending on the duration of a trade. But in crypto investment you are not exchanging the currency for quick gain but for a long term return.

Buy to Hold Strategy

The best strategy for a newbie in Crypto is to buy and hold. This strategy doesn’t require any experience, and you can start immediately. You simply buy cryptos of your choice and hold them till when it appreciates and you sell them for profit. With as low as N1,000 you can start buying cryptos.

But for a newbie that may not be easier for you but have in mind that at least N5,000 can get you some coins. But on a professional note, I would recommend starting with between N30,000 to N100,000. Your an buy more as later too. Never stop buying. Well, as you learn more you can buy very cheaper when the coin is very new, like days or weeks old.

How to Buy And Hold

You can buy cryptos yourself. There are many crypto wallets you can use. In the last lesson I mentioned Trustwallet, Binance, Roqqu, Remitano and Crypto.com. There are so many other wallets. You will get to know more as you grow in the business.

To start buying, you learn of cryptos that are selling to buy. The wallets have features to help you buy them. You can also request the assistance of someone else who has been buying to help out for a start.

What to Buy And Hold

There are many Cryptocurrency coins available now. The most popular once are Bitcoin, Ethereum, ripples and the likes. But there are so many unpopular once. In fact, some cryptos just launched and some are yet to launch. What to buy is never in lack.

However, for a newbie focus on new coins. New coins are cheaper and has the potential to make you money as the price rises. You can purchase millions or billions of new coins at cheaper prices.

Where to Buy And Hold

New coins or shitcoins, as they are mostly referred cannot be bought from every wallet. There are different process of getting shit coins before they listed on major crypto exchanges. The number one place to buy shitcoins is TRUSTWALLET. You see why I said you should download trustwallet.

There are others but this one is very okay and simple to use. I will put a simple guide on how to download and activate trustwallet this evening for those who may issues with the process.

When to Sell Your Crypto Hold

If you are going to buy shitcoins, it’s better to buy them early. Most of these coins are released at $0.00000003, making them so cheap to buy. However, buying from Nigeria is a bit more ‘costlier’ since you can’t buy directly from your ATM card or bank. However, buying at any price around $0.000009 is still good if the coin is doing well in the market. But that would require more capital investment if you want to buy volumes.

So, if you bought at a good price, it’s upto you to decide at what price is good for you to sell. I always buy with projections. Like, if I’m buying a million coin, I’m thinking when can I be able to sell this coin. In 3 months, 6 months or 12 months? Then, I mark my selling price, either at N1 per coin or N10 or N100 or even $1 per coin. I can even mark it lower than N0.1. It depends on my coin volume.

Where to Sell Your Crypto Hold

While this maybe something you would require later but it’s also important we discuss it now. It’s a lot challenging to sell coins in Nigeria if you are just starting out. You know there’s a ban on banks by the government that stopped them from supporting Crypto trades. So selling your Crypto won’t be easy but it’s not impossible. Later, things would change but we have person-to-person (peer to peer) trading on most of the major exchanges like Binance and Remitano.

Finally, you have to make a choice to start today. If you want to buy yourself, go ahead and give it a try. If you need someone to help you out, go for it. I want to see those who are serious and would buy some coins today.

How Much It Cost to Buy Cryptos In Nigeria

Let’s analyze the cost implications of buying shitcoins in Nigeria. For most people they may feel cheated when they buy from a vendor. Yes, I felt that way in my first Crypto investment because someone helped me to buy it.

I didn’t wait till when I have known it all myself. I knew that crypto prices increased every second. I wanted in immediately. So, I used my mentor to buy my first cryptos. Although, I got some high figures, their dollar equivalent didn’t match with what I paid. At one transaction I queried him.

I felt cheated and decided to learn what he knows. I wanted to save cost for myself. However, I also faced some stack realities of what he was facing too. Although, you cannot compare the cost of buying it yourself to someone buying it for you. I will show you the difference in it.

Shitcoins Have Challenges

Shitcoins are cheap if you buy them early. But there are transaction costs as well. Sometimes the transaction cost are higher than the cost of the coins you are buying. Imagine buying a $10 coin and paying $9.80 as network fee.

That’s even the lesser challenge with shitcoins. Network fees can even be more if you are using Ethereum Network. If you don’t understand these you might pay higher than you could have paid. If you are buying it yourself, it could be a mistake you make if you don’t know about it.

When it comes to buying shitcoins, most of them ask for higher gas fees. Imagine paying over 30% of the volume of the coins you are buying as GAS FEE. Yes, in Crypto investment you pay gas fee, and it’s the major charge when buying or selling shitcoins.

The real cost issue with buying shitcoins in Nigeria is that we have little options of payment. With banks banned by government from supporting Crypto purchased, you can’t buy cryptos with your ATM card. You are not even allowed to do Crypto transactions with the bank.

So, be careful with what you do when buying Crypto, so you don’t put yourself into trouble. That’s why you need to learn first and understand many things before you start your crypto investment.

Where to Buy Crypto Yourself

Okay, it’s time to talk about do it yourself Crypto buying option. You need to know how to buy cryptos yourself. It’s nothing difficult but you will need some guide. There are also videos that can help you.

I will advice you decide first Crypto websites or apps you are going to use then learn how to use that website or app. Although, in Crypto you may need to use multiple sites and apps to operate your Crypto investment.

Your first step would be to signup to some of these websites and apps. I recommend you first register on the websites, then download the apps to use . Unless the site only has app.

Here are my selected websites and apps where you can buy cryptos in Nigeria. Note that each site or app may have certain advantages you may need. So, I recommend that you register in multiple Crypto Exchange sites. I’m registered in all the wishes I’m sharing with you here.

Trustwallet

This one is a must have. It’s just an app, and it doesn’t have a website. You can download the app on google play store or IOS store. If you are going to be in eating in new and unlisted coins you will need trustwallet.

Binanca Exchange

This one is another must have. It has both website and app. I buy most of my cryptos here. It offers Nigerians peer to peer (PP) transaction, where you can buy coins from sellers in Nigeria. Since Nigerian ATM is banned in Crypto sites, we only use (PP) transactions to purchase coins online.

Here’s the link to register for an account on this site:

Remitano Wallet

It’s also one account that works for Nigerians. The company is based in South Africa. One of their main market is Nigeria. So, you will be okay doing business on this platform.

How To Get FREE Cryptos

In the world of cryptos you can enjoy a lot of freebies. It’s only in cryptos that give aways are real. Few days ago, I woke up to 1 billion FREE coin. It may not worth anything today, but it might worth so much in the future. When Bitcoin and Ethereum started they were first giving away to people. Those free coins made so many millionaires.

My special give away was meant to help you learn and prepare you for the lessons I’m about to share with you this week. Using wallets like Trustwallet and their likes requires you know how to activate coins, buy coins through pancakeswap and swap 1 coin for another coin. If you are not following the give away, even if you don’t submit an entry, do the assignment. It’s to help you learn.

Welcome to this special lesson where I will teach you how free crypto coins work. In fact, starting from today I will be sharing opportunities to get free coins. It will be a huge bonus for joining this group. But first, let me explain how it works.

Types of Free Coin Drops

There are two types of free coin drops. There are Airdrops and Selfdrops. These are give aways from either yet to be launched cryptos or already existing ones that doesn’t have lots of holders yet.

The deferred ones are usually free, while the instant ones would cost you some tinny Network transfer fee.

Each one takes different process as well. The Airdrops requires you to do some tasks and get listed to receive the free coins at a certain date set by the crypto company. But the Selfdrops not so free instant one, which require you pay Network fee to receive it instantly, doesn’t require any task from you.

How Much FREE Coins Do You Get

If you are new in Crypto world you might be scared by the figures being mentioned – millions, billions, trillions, quadrillion, etc. I got 1 billion free coins recently. In fact, I could get up to 10 billion free if I wanted. Instead, I chose to buy 250 billion of the coin.

There’s no limit to how much coins you can get for free. There are many free coins flying around in the crypto world. Once a new Crypto is coming out, many of them do free give aways to get lots of attention and grow their holders address.

In the WhatsApp group, I will be posting many of them for you. Below are some of the recent free coins you can take advantage of now. That’s why I asked you to get *TRUSTWALLET*. If you have your wallet downloaded, now is the time to use it to get free coins.

However, you need to have a different wallet for airdrops than for your paid coins. Don’t wait to find out why. Just do as I said.

NOTE – Airdrops are also risky. It can help hackers have access to your account. That’s why you don’t just go for every airdrop you see. If you are new follow the advice of someone who knows better than you.

How To Download & Activate TrustWallet

If you have not downloaded TRUST WALLET here’s what to do now. You need an android phone with an internet.

Step 1: Go to Google play store
Step2: Search for Trustwallet (the image should look like this)
Step 3: install
Step 4: Open
Step 5: read and follow the instructions in the app to activate it

Note: It doesn’t require password or email. But it gives you some keyword phrase. Keep those keyword phrase secured. It’s your only password to access the wallet when you download into another phone or need to recover your wallet.

How to Create A Second TRUSTWALLET Account

It simple to have a second wallet inside your existing trustwallet. That’s why your wallet has name. The name is to help you differentiate one wallet from another. Now that you have named your first wallet, it’s time to create a second one and name it as well.

To start, click on SETTING at the bottom right corner of your Trustwallet. As it opens, click on Wallet and click on the PLUS + sign at the top right corner of the screen. And it will open for you to start creating a new wallet as you did the first time. Remember to also save the 12 keyword seeds. It’s a separate account. But it works together in the same app.

Steps To Buy Coins With Trustwallet

We have talked about Airdrops. You need it. It’s not every coin you should buy. More than 50 percent of the coins out there will fail. That means you will lose your money in them. Buying coins it not 100% secured investment. There are risks too. So, you need to find ways to get some for free. Like I advised, create a separate wallet for your free coins.

However, today we will be looking at how to buy shitcoins. In this case, I’m only going to address buying it from trustwallet. I hope you have downloaded trustwallet. I will advice that you also practice buying it yourself.

Nigeria is no doubt the current leader of global Cryptocurrency trade – Bitcoin to be precise. According to Statista 2020 report, 32% of Nigerians are involved in Cryptocurrency trade, which makes it the highest number from any country. But when it comes to volume of transaction, Nigeria comes behind United States.

Moreover, the Cryptocurrency market is exploding in prices. The demand and relevance of digital currencies are gaining momentum even from irrelevant quarters. It’s no longer news that Tesla CEO, Elon Musk even added $1.5 billion in Bitcoin to its balance sheet.

And there are even speculations that Bitcoin might hit the $100,000 in value soon. Whether that would happen soon or not it’s not even the reason for this post. There’s huge potential with cryptocurrencies that should get everyone’s attention now.

If you haven’t gotten yourself a Crypto wallet, now is the time to do so fast. Those who bought into this currency when it was still unknown have become millionaires, if not billionaires, without much effort. And there’s still more room for new millionaires from Crypto world.

What’s Blockchain?

The first thing to understand about Cryptocurrency is the technology in which it’s built – called Blockchain. This technology works as an open distributed ledger that records the transactions between two parties. It’s done efficiently, in a verifiable way that makes it permanent, and is resistant to any modification of the data.

That means it doesn’t require a middle person, doesn’t need the banks to verify transactions as well.

It’s not like the current monetary system that’s reserved in the banks, backed by governments. Which requires you to have an ATM, or a connection to the bank to transfer money to other people. That monetary system involves middle person – which is the bank. But Blockchain does require any intermediary.

What’s Cryptocurrency?

What properly defines Cryptocurrency is that it’s MONEY. But digital money. It’s one currency that’s not managed or controlled by any governments or world power.

Even the identity of the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, which happens to be the first Crypto, is still a mystery. That has not changed the fact that cryptocurrencies have taken their rightful place in the market of currencies.

So, Cryptocurrency is a form of currency available only in digital or electronic form, not in any physical form. It’s also referred as the following:

• Digital money
• Electronic money
• Electronic currency
• Cyber cash

Cryptocurrencies are only transacted on Blockchain technology. Normally payments in this way are instantaneous.

How Cryptocurrency Work

It’s a way to store and exchange value. And about exchanging values, it doesn’t follow traditional and bank payment methods, which often aligns it with the term ‘dark web’. A term used to describe internet activities that’s not within the purview of government scrutiny and judicial control.

However, Cryptocurrency relies on a technology called “Blockchain” – its function is to share transactional database, with its entries which must be confirmed and encrypted.

Now cryptos are used in paying for goods and services. But much of its relevance is in the speculative trade transaction, which is currently driving the prices off the roof.

Benefits of Digital Currency

There are lots of benefits of Cryptocurrency. Here are just the few important ones:

• Reduces corruption – as one entity do not have control
• Eliminates extreme government money printing
• You control your money instead of giving away your control
• It cuts out the middle person who always takes a cut
• And serves the people who don’t have access to the banks

Different Types Of Cryptocurrencies

There are 3 types of cryptos. Here is the list below:

1. Bitcoin
2. Altcoins
3. Tokens

What’s Bitcoin?

Let me summarize the whole concept of Bitcoin for you. Bitcoin is a digital currency that was invented without links to government or any country’s central bank. That means, it’s neither regulated by the government nor the banks.

According to reports, it was invented in 2008 by an unknown person, who goes by an imaginary name ‘Satoshi Nakamoto’. However, the currency came into use in 2009 through a digital app.

How Bitcoin Works

The way to understand Bitcoin better is to related it to a computer file that’s stored in a digital wallet app. Anyone can send Bitcoin to your digital wallet, and you too can send to other people.

Furthermore, bitcoins are generated by competitive and decentralized process called “mining”. Bitcoin mining is done by the individuals, who in return are rewarded by the network for their services. These Bitcoin miners receives bitcoins as a reward for completing ‘blocks’ of verified transactions , which are then added to the Blockchain.

In recent times, the prices of Bitcoin are going so high. Some speculate that since there are only 21 million bitcoins in total, there will be less circulation of the currency. And as more people become aware of the scarcity, demand rises, it’s resulting in a higher price.

Also, as many companies and some government agencies buy Bitcoin that shows a high level of confidence, which pushes the appreciation up and it makes Bitcoin more desirable. Bitcoin popularity is making investors believe there’s further upside.

What’s Altcoin?

If you have been involved in cryptos you may have heard about altcoin – alternative cryptocurrencies that got launched after Bitcoin achieved success. The number of altcoins are growing everyday.

Even within Bitcoin Blockchain, altcoins have emerged. The likes of Bitcoin cash, Bitcoin classic, etcetera. Here are some list of altcoins currently in use.

• Ethereum
• Ripples
• Dash
• Dogecoin
• Litecoin
• Polkadot
• Tether
• Cardano
• Filecoin
• POSI

And many others still coming out till date. While there will only be one Bitcoin, there’s going to be endless versions of altcoins.

What’s Token?

Tokens are a type of cryptocurrency. They represent asset or used for specific needs.

Crypto tokens are created, distributed or sold, and circulated through the standard initial coin offering (ICO) process that involves a crowdfunding exercise usually meant to fund project development.

Crypto tokens or crypto assets, are special kinds of virtual currency tokens that are built on their own blockchains and represent an asset or utility. They are mostly used as fundraise for crowd sales. They can also be used as a substitute for other things.

In an example, one can have a crypto token that represents a particular number of customer loyalty points on a blockchain. And that is used to manage such details for a retail chain.

What’s Cryptocurrency Used For?

One of the challenges some have with Cryptocurrency is they can’t understand what it’s used for. They have argued that, it cannot be used primarily as a means of exchange in a real world, considering the price.

Gold is not even a currency but it’s a medium of exchange. Cryptocurrency is serving its purpose as a medium of exchange, in a much better way – making many rich.

Moreover, Crypto trading is a trending business, growing to equal or surpass Forex trading. If that’s the only use for cryptocurrencies that would have been awesome.

Top Cryptocurrencies In Nigeria

If you are new in Crypto business, you would like to know what other Nigerian Crypto investors are buying and why. It’s not like their choice is the best. But if those who got into the bushes before you are buying certain cryptos it’s a sign that they could be good for you as well.

However, you need to know the motivation behind these choice. Most Nigerian got into crypto simply for profit. So, their first motivation is how much they can make from any Cryptocurrency. If you have the same motivation, then you have consider what they are buying.

In the recent Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) ban on cryptocurrencies, three of the cryptos that were continuously referenced are Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dogecoin. But that’s not the only cryptos Nigerians buy. See a few list below:

• Bitcoin
• Ethereum
• Dogecoin
• Bitcoin cash
• Ripples
• Litecoin
• Dash
• POSI
• Zugacoin

These list represents the most traded cryptos in Nigeria. Bitcoin and Ethereum are top cryptos globally. Anyone would understand the reason they are top buy for Nigerians. But the love for Dogecoin is still a speculative investment. However, this coin is fighting to gain relevance.

You may be reading about Zugacoin for the first time here. Yes, zugacoin is a Nigerian Coin. I believe in visions and I know that if this coin didn’t become popular elsewhere it will be in Nigeria and Africa. Already there are insinuations that the biggest African car manufacturing company Innosson Motors has partnered to accept Zugacoin for payment for its cars.

What’s Ethereum?

Ethereum was built to help developers build apps for Ethereum Blockchain. The transaction time on Ethereum is also faster, within seconds. It also has more coins than Bitcoin – with a current number of 100 million ether coins. And more can be created.

What’s Bitcoin Cash?

Bitcoin Cash is a spin-off or altcoin that was created in 2017. In November 2018, Bitcoin Cash split into two cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV. Bitcoin Cash is a cryptocurrency that is a fork of Bitcoin, designed to be transactional Cryptocurrency that functions as a peer to peer electronic cash payment system.

What’s Ripple?

Ripples is the bankers coin. It’s centralized, unlike other Blockchain coins that are decentralized. With global banks involved, it’s also under government control. It’s also an alternative to fiat currency. It has the potential to become acceptable to most countries government and even widespread.

What’s Litecoin?

Litecoin came from the same Blockchain as Bitcoin. They are both similar but with different features – an improvement on Bitcoin, for speed and cheaper transaction. It takes just seconds to process, and much cheaper for micro transactions.

What’s Dogecoin?

Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency invented by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, who decided to create a payment system that is instant, fun, and free from traditional banking fees. Dogecoin features the face of the Shiba Inu dog from the “Doge” meme as its logo and namesake.

What’s Crypto Wallet?

A cryptocurrency wallet is a device, some are physical medium, program or an app service which stores the public and/or private keys for cryptocurrency transactions. Apart from it’s basic function of storing the keys, a cryptocurrency wallet also offers the functionality of encrypting and signing information.

So, with cryptocurrency wallet, users can store and retrieve their digital assets. In an example, a user who acquires Crypto such as Bitcoin can store it in a wallet, and can from the wallet use it to make transactions.

What is Cryptocurrency Trading?

Crypto trading is the buying and selling of cryptocurrencies or exchanging of one crypto for another crypto assets or coins. The idea is to buy at a low price and sell at a high margin.

There are different types of crypto trading strategy you can explore:

1. Day trading
2. Swing trading
3. Scalping
4. Position trading

Day Trading:

This is the most popular trading style. Day trading, as its name implies, is the method of buying and selling crypto with in the same day.

Position Trading:

This is to buy and hold strategy. This strategy is suitable for beginners. However, when it’s done by an advanced trader, it can be a form of active trading.

Position trading uses longer term charts, anywhere from daily to weekly to monthly in combination with other methods to determine the trend of the current market direction.

This type of trading may last for several days to several weeks and sometimes longer, depending on the trend.

Swing Trading

Swing traders get in the game when a trend breaks. At the end of the trend, there is usually some price volatility as the new trend tries to establish itself. Swing trades are usually held for more than a day but for a short time than position traders.

Scalping

Scalping is one of the quickest strategies employed by active traders. It includes exploiting various price gaps caused by bid-ask spread order flows.

The strategy generally works by making the spread or buying at the bid price and selling at the ask price to receive the difference between the two price points. Scalpers attempts to hold their positions for a short period.

Crypto Trading Technique

If you want to start trading cryptos, then you need to figure out what type of trader you want to be. You should know the technique you will be using. It’s important for every trader to have their own trading technique that works for them.

Here are two main trading techniques:

1. Fundamental analysis
2. Technical analysis

You can use any of the techniques or both.

Crypto Trading Strategies

A trading strategy is a trading fixed plan designed to achieve a profitable return, either going long or short in Crypto market. There are four different types of trading strategy. You will need to decide the method you want to use.

However, for every trading strategy you need to define the crypto to trade, your entry and exit points, and apply your money management rules. A bad money management can make a potentially profitable strategy unprofitable.

Here’s how to formulate a trading game plan? You do it on paper before going into the market. This is where a lot of traders fail.

Types of Crypto Trading Analysis

After figuring out the kind of trade that you want to be the next thing you need to put in mind is type of analysis you’ll be using for your trade. We have to type of analysis and they are

Fundamental Analysis

This is a method of measuring a coins intrinsic value by examining related economic and financial factor. The end goal is to arrive at a number that an investor can compare with the coins current price in order to see if the coin is undervalue or overvalued.

Technical Analysis

Technical analysis is just the discipline that is used to evaluate crypto investment, and to identify trading opportunities by analyzing statistical trends gathered from trading activities. Here are the activities that are analyzed, price movements, trade volume, moving average, time frame and etcetera.

Analyzing Coins

You must also know how to be able to analyze a coin, to know the ones that have great potentials for trade; by checking their market capital value, the volume of the coin, the most use of the coin, the team behind the coin, the technology behind the coin and how the coin is currently in demand.

Risk Management

You need to know how to minimize your risk. Crypto trading is risky and the market is volatile. But by setting stop loss, having a plan and sticking to the plan, without allowing greed to control your trading, you will bulletproof your investment from unnecessary losses.

Diversify Your Portfolio

In Nigeria, cryptocurrencies are the focus of most startup investors. With as little as N1,000 you can start trading cryptocurrencies. There’s no limitation to what you can achieve with cryptos.

The nature of crypto coins makes it easier to acquire and multiply. Sometimes you could find free coins online. Some other time it could be available to purchase at a very ridiculous rate.

Start your plan to acquire Crypto coins now, even if their current value is anything much. That was how Bitcoin started in 2009, and today its the most valuable currency in the world.

The whole idea here is to help you get started with cryptocurrencies. That’s why I added several links to different sites and applications involved in crypt business. Take your time to click on the links to review the sites behind them. Some of them might be very helpful to you.

If you live in a harsh economic environment like Nigeria, where monthly minimum wage is N30,000 or almost equivalent of $50 (by the time this present exchange rate hits N600 to $1), you really need a residual income. How can you live on such meager income for a whole month, when some people are earning over $50 on residual income daily?

Let me compare your $50 monthly minimum wage to a residual income of $50 per day. That’s $1,500 or N750,000 on an exchange rate of N500 to $1. Don’t ask me why I’m using non official exchange rates. If you must know, much of what happens online in Nigeria is through unofficial transactions in dollar currency.

Nigerians are in control of their online activities, that’s why the government is trying at every point to frustrate the online community in Nigeria. So, it’s either you are building a residual income to take care of your regular expenditures, or you are building income for your retirement.

In this post, I’m exploring the world of residual income. Although, I will be drifting more into online income opportunities. Because that’s where everyone can play equally now.

What’s Residual Income?

If you work in the next 20 years, what’s going to be your income in 20 years? How much of your time and resources would that have cost you? Your income from work is only commiserate to the time and energy you put into the work.

That’s what I call “manpower” income. Laughing out loud! But how else can it be described than by what it is. However, when you practically do nothing, or little at the inception and then let that initial effort or input work for you continually, you have created an income that’s residual in nature.

This kind of income continues to come in even after you have completed the work that’s producing the income. And every Nigerian needs this kind of income.

How Residual Income Works

When it comes to residual income, two things are at play – how much you want to earn and how much you have to invest to earn it. Since I’m considering mostly online investment programs, the only factor that’s in consideration here is – profit percentage accruable from your investment.

The best way to understand residual income is to consider any of its examples. Take for instant residual income from intellectual properties like books, music, videos, etcetera. You write the book once, or the music or video is only done once, but you keep earning from those materials over a long period of time.

As long as their are people willing to pay for any of those works, you keep earning residual income from that one-time effort. If you are thinking, what if I can’t write a book, or produce music or videos? Like I mentioned, those are just examples. There are many other ways to earn residual income, even if you don’t have any skill.

Investment Opportunities And Risk Assessment

Online residual income opportunities has flooded the internet since after COVID19 lockdowns. More and more people are looking for residual income to argument for the low income effects from the pandemic.

There are so many of these income opportunities right now on the internet, and most of them are actually scam. So, you have to be careful. Moreover, even when such opportunity is not really a scam, note that every business venture is a risk investment.

You have to be cautious and invest wisely. The first thing you have to do is ask yourself, how much can I possibly lose now and it won’t affect my finances? That should be the amount to start with. Never be in a hurry to earn from untested and unproven opportunities.

Start with small amount, and increase later if the opportunity proves to be legit. Another thing you should know about even legit businesses is that non is 100% risk proof. Invest only the amount you can possibly risk at first, and pull out funds as the returns starts piling up. Don’t get greedy.

Some Typical Examples of Residual Income

From the first examples I gave, you already know what is residual income. You can easily identify an opportunity when you see one. While most of the examples are still good as residual income, I’m going to emphasis more on online based residual income. But first let me give you some list of passive income.

• Investment in stocks, forex and crypto
• Investment in Real Estate
• Creating an Online Course
• Starting a YouTube channel
• Having a membership site
• Writing a Book
• Building a network marketing group

Like I mentioned, we are going to explore online opportunities. And before I proceed, don’t ignore network marketing opportunities. I know some people don’t like the idea of network marketing.

Since there are no proven online residual income in Nigeria, you have to explore those from other countries. Unless you want to create your own residual income business. My suggestion is to find investment opportunities and plug in your money to earn income daily, monthly or annually, as the case maybe.

Residual Income Ideas

Let me expose you to some of the existing residual income Ideas. The internet has truly changed the way anything and everything works all over the world. It’s not only the simplicity, but also the transactional nature of doing things.

There are several passive income Ideas online that you can start. The internet has given more people the opportunity that was once reserved to a select few. And you earn as much 10% returns on your investment. But before you invest in any one, study the opportunity. If possible, attend physical or online trainings to learn more about how you can earn from the opportunity.

Forex Residual Income Idea

Right now, one of the biggest investment opportunity online is Forex trading. It’s not new, but what’s new is opportunity for everyone including non traders to invest in the forex market. All you need is buy up an investment package from a trading company, and you get returns daily as the package stipulates.

Crypto Residual Income Ideas

Cryptocurrencies are also taking its huge share of the currency market. Almost all the exchange platforms are also offering opportunities to trade cryptocurrencies as well. Even so, platforms are springing up asking for investors to buy trading packages with them for a guaranteed return.

Both the forex and crypto markets work almost the same. Apart from the fact that forex markets only operate 5 days in a week, as against crypto market that’s open every day of the week.

NOTE: The passive income investments that I recommend includes – OMEGAPRO, AX TRADER, BEURAX, and PETRONPAY.

Residual Income Business

Someone has asked me one day, is residual income a business? There’s a business aspect of residual income, and there’s also non business part, where you sit and earn passively. I have also listed some of them in the examples of passive income Ideas.

Residual income businesses are those income you setup and earn from over a long period of time. You may or may not own them 100%.

Real estate is one of them. You invest in properties and keep collecting rents over a long period of time. The problem with real estate business is that it still needs you to manage the business. This aspect of passive income in common, not just in Nigeria but all over the world.

Best Residual Income To Invest With

The best residual income is actually the one that keeps paying you for a long time to come. However, you may not be able to predict which online investment will last for years to come. So, your primary target now should be to keep growing your income.

For example, to grow your income with passive income, you should look for investments that can guarantee some good percentage on a daily or monthly basis, if you don’t have much fund. Like, 0.45 to 5 percent daily income.

But if your target is a retirement plan, you should go for a longer passive income investment that gives 10 percent returns on a monthly basis. It will only require that you invest big. Like, $10,000 would give you guaranteed $30,000 returns in 16 months period, on a compounding interest rate.

Note that, going for a short term investment has a higher return and higher risk as well. A long term investment has lower ROI and also lower risk of failing. But if you are like me, I do the long term for secured returns, and I risk the short term and cash out before it has the potential to fail.

Conclusion

Residual income is not new. You probably have heard of it all your life but have never made it work for you. We are in an era where this kind of income is not only required but it’s also possible for anyone to start earning passively.

From as low as $10 you can start earning from a passive investment. This post is to help you start your journey of residual income. Don’t stop at reading it. Take action. Search for opportunities and ask around what others are doing to earn passive income.

Don’t rush into any investment. Do your homework, and ask those who have invested before you how their investment is doing before you put yours. As good as online passive income may sound, the risk is as much high too.
