7 BUSINESSES YOU CAN DO AFTER 9-5 HOUR SALARY JOBS.


1.     BUSINESS CONSULTING: Many people do not understand the concept of business consulting and as a matter of fact, we sometimes believed that a business must have a physical office space to render services to prospective clients. I have learnt over time that if you are an expert in a particular field, clients will never mind to meet with you at any convenient place other than a corporate office. So, as a business consultant, you can schedule meetings and inspections till the close of work from your salary jobs.

2.      E-COMMERCE: I carried out a marketing exercise for a client in June, she has an online store called MARTLOUNGE, what I found amazing about her is the zeal which she put into the business despite her having a well paid job. She closes around 5pm and set for a shop at Opebi, Ikeja, Lagos-State where her store manager handles the many requests of the buyers. This business does not require you to be on ground from 9am-5pm to be successful in it. Why not give it a shot today.



3.     INFORMATION MARKETING: In this present age and time, information and time is a big income earner, I have sold a number of e-books, reports and information products even in the middle of the night. All that is needed is the knowledge of a particular problem and the solution crafted in writing, software or apps. People are always ready to pay for information they can’t source themselves. Take advantage of the internet after the close of work to source for trending issues and problems confronting the society, tap into such niche and provide an e-book, reports and manuals and see how the residual income flows in.


4.     BECOME A TRAINER: If there is a particular skill, hobby or leisure activities you are known for, why not make arrangement to teach people for a small fee. It does not only bring residual income aside your salary, it also makes you an authority in that field. A dog trainer, music teachers, fitness instructors, motivational speakers, etc are many of the ventures that can be done after your regular salary 9am-5pm jobs.

5.     DIGITAL MARKETING SERVICES: At least I have more than 5 facebook pages I manage even though not all belongs to me, I write articles, drive traffic and manage these social media accounts and get rewarded afterwards. Most often than not, I do all these after I have finished the day’s work.


6.     BLOGGING: Blogging is one of the easier methods for building residual income. Thousands of bloggers create content daily on topics as diverse as entertainment, health, marriages, arts, education, lifestyle and more. Through a combination of marketing to subscribers, affiliate marketing, ad revenue and sponsorships, these bloggers are growing revenues daily, and you too can have a bite of the pie if you have the requisite skills. You can blog for just 2-3hours after work and still earn a decent income.


7.     WEDDING AND EVENT PLANNER: There are more than enough professional event planners out there than anyone could imagine, and needless to say, the industry is competitive. At the same time, however, millions of people host different events each year, so the opportunity to succeed and profit is available to those willing to get out there and make things happen. You can become a brand name by just planning and organizing one or two successful event in the society. You don’t need all the day to become an expert in event planning.

THINK LIKE AN ENTREPRENEUR AND LIVE LIKE A BOSS



In order to BE a self-employed person I had to start thinking like one. I found myself reverting to that nine-to-five mentality.  If I wasn’t accomplishing a task every hour, then I must not really be working. 
Sometimes a self-employed person has to make decisions about his business.  Sometimes he is just thinking about a solution to a problem. Sometimes he just has to quiet his mind so new ideas can come. Just because you’re not pounding away at the computer system every minute doesn’t mean you’re not working.

I’ve also learned that it’s okay to answer the phone every time it rings.  That’s why SMS and chats are also created to add value to business communications, and the same goes for email.  At my nine-to-five job I would leave the email program open all day and answer each one as it arrived.  It took me a while to realize it’s okay to only check email several times a day instead of constantly being interrupted. It’s actually more productive than having to stop your thought process every time “you have mail.”

You’re going to have days when you feel you didn’t accomplish much.  Then again, you’ll have days when you’ll feel you can conquer the world and you’ll be amazed at
