   Sell vintage items on Etsy

I have chosen Etsy to top this chart because I am presently obsessed with the website.  Etsy is an American e-commerce company focused on handmade or vintage items and craft supplies.

The platform allows you to earn through a simple model of selling their vintage art and crafts items to interested buyers.

If you have vintage materials like jewelry, bags, clothing, home décor and furniture, toys, art, as well as craft supplies and tools, you can start selling these items to make money from home without paying anything.

The platform is free to use and delivery is covered. The only challenge could be how to get your money when a sale is made and this is rectified with PayPal or other available payment options.

2. Start an agency for student enrollment

Many universities abroad are looking for foreign students from Nigeria. These schools work with agents who help them get Nigerian students enrolled in their schools and pay these agents up to 20%-30% of the fee!

This is one of the highest-paying ways you can make money from home without paying anything. You do not have to be a structured agency business to start this idea.

All you need is a huge database of students who want to school abroad since it’s a commission-based job.

Then reach out to these schools abroad and once a student gets enrolled from you, you get your commission.

These platforms help you sell your beautiful, professional photos to buyers looking for them and pay you for it. Make sure you research the types of pictures people love to buy first.

See other top e-commerce websites in Nigeria for all categories.

12. Start dropshipping

Dropshipping is similar to selling online as I discoursed above.

It’s a business model whereby instead of buying a large amount of inventory, you can partner with a drop shipping supplier (manufacturer) or wholesaler and list their merchandise for sale online i.e., websites, Instagram, or Facebook.

When you receive an order, you forward it to the supplier for fulfillment (supply to the customer), the supplier will ship (or transport) the product directly from their warehouse to your customer, and charge you only for the price of the shipped item.

You send your drop shipper the orders that come in, paying the wholesale price for each order.

Whatever prize you sold the items for the customers will be deducted from the wholesale price and that’s your profit.

Start by finding some of the best-selling products to dropship in Nigeria.

13. Pickup freelance job

If you want to make money in Abuja, Lagos, or at home in any part of Nigeria, freelance jobs are a viable way to achieve your financial goals.

For one thing, you need certain skills to make money from freelance. Essentially, a freelance job is one where a person works for themselves, rather than for a company.

While a freelancer takes on contract work for companies and organizations, they are ultimately self-employed or they work from home.

Services such as writing, video-editing, gaming, animation, web development, WordPress development, and many more are common freelance jobs you can get.

The good thing is there are many platforms where you can get clients i.e., Toptal, PeoplePerHour, Guru, Freelancer, etc.

How much can I make: Up to $50 on average.

What to invest:  zero naira

14. Complete online surveys

Are you a student reading this post? Then, this is one of the best ways to make money from home or your campus as a student.

The money may not be so huge, but when you complete surveys on the best survey sites for Nigerians, then the money should be tangible.

Start by finding the best-paid survey websites that work for Nigerian users.
