The internet is like a vast ocean of knowledge. A lot of things are possible on the internet. Most of the ordinary things we do daily in the real world can equally be done using the internet.
Perhaps, you want to send a business card, congratulatory note, business proposal, communicate with your friends, sell and buy goods and services, visit your doctor, visit the cinemas, reload airtime or buy recharge cards, you can do all these too on the internet. The internet is replacing the way people live and do business in Nigeria. It is helping students do their assignments, projects and get better understanding of classroom topics which at times are under a lot of stress. The internet is helping people with money to buy foods and provisions online while at the same time saving time and cost. The internet is helping working class people and corporate workers still communicate with the outside world from the comfort of their office. It is equally helping banks and their customers get the best of of services. For instance, you can use the internet to check your bank account balance and transfer money to someone else without leaving your home.

The internet is becoming an important aspect of the modern world and you've got to know that you can make money using the internet.

The internet is a global means of communication using a computer connected to a telephone network. The device needed to connect to the internet is a modem connected to a computer and then the phone network or ISP.
With a internet browser like IE, Firefox, Opera or Google Chrome, you can access global information from the worldwide web just from one location and this gives you access to a seemingly unending pool of information

Seeing the possibilities available on the internet and the many success stories of web companies like Yahoo, Google and Facebook, you then ask yourself, how do these companies make their money?
Well, one thing you should know that the bulk of revenue that comes to these Internet companies come from online advertising and so one way I would recommend that you try to make money online is by getting a share of that income from online advertising. There are also a lot of other ways that people make money from the internet and these includes selling your own products, services and subscriptions on the internet.

What you will need:
- A website
- A product or service
- A payment platform (For paying and receiving money online)
- Marketing (You need to let the world know about your offers)

How to start making money on the internet
The most important aspect of making money online is by first of all conceptualizing the kind of product or service you can offer to people. Having your own product is what really matters and the more unique it is, the better. You can have physical products like what you are already selling like books, apparels, movies or cars. You may also offer services like consulting, seminars and workshops, subscriptions or internet services. Creating virtual products like e-books, online movies and entertainment and others could also help you make quick money since they would be no shipping and you could deliver it instantly.
