As the year
2016 comes to an intriguing conclusion, there are hues and cries in some
quarters while some people became successful in the midst of the global
recession witnessed in major parts of the world. In 2016, there were so many
job losses while some few jobs were equally created, online businesses
witnessed massive boost and booms, just like we had in 2015 the entertainment
and media industry also witnessed a revolution and there were greater
improvements in contents and revenues from the media universally.
In line with
the usual rituals of predictions from preceding economic year, here are lists
of business opportunities that will make headlines in 2017:
1. INFORMATION MARKETING BUSINESS: Many people will be hungry for as much information as
they can get and absorb in their brain. When you position yourself out there,
and give people the information they want, they will come back for more. This
is not to say that Google and other search engines will not be there for people
to explore but they will rather have someone do the search, sieve the
information, summarizes and serve to them in their mails or mobiles. At least,
I have made more money from information marketing compared with the periods I
was earning monthly salary working 9-5hours.
2. ONLINE COACHING BUSINESS: Everyday, human beings are required to learn
something new either as a skill or for knowledge and there are times when we
are interested in something for the fun of it and we want to learn more about
it. That’s why a coaching business offers a vast way to make some nice earnings.
If you are skillful or knowledgeable in a particular field of human endeavor,
the year 2017 presents an array of opportunities for online coaching and video
courses.
3. SOFTWARE MARKETING: Software will
disrupt most traditional industries in the next 5-10 years. Uber is just a
software tool, they don't own any cars, and are now the biggest taxi company in
the world. The year 2017 will even prove more rewarding for software
development companies and marketers.
4. AGRICULTURE: There is serious global campaign
already for amplified agricultural practice due to the food shortage and
declines experienced in some parts of developing and poor nations. Government
at all levels is driving massive support towards agro-economy as this is the
best alternative in the drive for self reliance goal of any nation. Thomas
Robert Malthus was the first economist to propose a systematic theory of
population. Malthus was of the opinion that food output was likely to increase
in a series of twenty-five year intervals in the arithmetic progression 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and so on, population was capable of increasing in the
geometric progression 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, and so forth. This scenario of arithmetic food growth with
simultaneous geometric human population growth predicted a future when humans
would have no resources to survive on, this I believed we have been
experiencing in this millennial era and sustainable agricultural practice is
the only solution to avoid catastrophe. Between 1900 and 2000 the increase in
world population was three times greater than the entire previous history of
humanity– an increase from 1.5 to 6.1 billion in just 100 years.

5. RECYCLING OF WASTE MATERIALS: The
search for raw materials and production inputs are becoming increasingly costly
because access to foreign exchange through the official route was near impossible
while getting it via the black market is a cut-throat venture. The present economic
reality serves as energizer for venturing into recycling business due to
availability of waste materials in abundance.
6. VIDEO MARKETING: We are living in the
age of video as a matter of fact it is the most compelling way to engage and
sell online. Videos make sales and
people are asking for it. Almost all the social media platforms had
incorporated videos in their
contents and people watch more videos online than
the conventional TVs and other media devices.
7. E-COMMERCE AND ONLINE STORE: This is
one of the biggest financial phenomenon of our time and it is estimated to
worth over $30 Trillion, it is the ONLY trillion dollar market that is growing
at double digits in the world. Many aspiring entrepreneurs will have their own
ecommerce store even when they don’t own the goods.
8. AFFILIATE MARKETING: The basic
concept of affiliate marketing is to sell the products of other companies on a
commission basis online or offline. The affiliate marketer receives a sales
commission on every sale, from the merchant. Jumia, Konga, Jiji, Dealdey, Olx,
Amazon, Aliexpress, e.t.c are all providing affiliate programs for people to
earn from.
9. ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SUPPLIES: The
global awareness campaigns from eco-friendly organizations and government is to
get away from the fossil fuels and the old electrical grids by turning to
alternatives energy sources. Solar power panels, wind farms, geothermal energy,
Ethanol, Biofuel, etc. These alternative source of energy are extremely
efficient, cheaper to operate and maintain, eco-friendly, highly profitable and
can be undertaken by entrepreneurial minded people and bigger corporations with
commercial interests.
10.
MOBILE APPS: Mobile applications are hugely
influencing retail sales and influencing buying decisions, also, popular news
and advertising media corporations are massively utilizing mobile apps to push
notifications to mobile phone users which have been confirmed useful in the
real sense. It is estimated that there over 40 billion mobile apps were built
in 2015, more than 1 billion mobile phones would be sold in 2017, 61% of
world’s mobile phones are smart phones, 90% of smart phones comes with
pre-installed apps, 2 out 3 mobile users use at least 1 mobile app every single
day, 80% of mobile phone use is spent inside apps and many more favorable
statistics on the use of mobile apps. Banks and financial institutions,
Government institutions, ecommerce business, religious organizations, education
sectors, small business owners, sports outfit, media organizations,
hotels/restaurants, health management org, online coaching/membership forums,
etc, will ultimately request for more mobile apps come 2017 and this is a great
opportunity for anyone interested in making cool earnings.
