Having one source of income for me is not ideal and should not be adopted by any. Many individuals especially professional doing  8 -5 job do make the mistake of settling for their job as their only source of income instead of trying out other things along side, its a very risky thing to do, yes, you are earning money but have you thought of growing it?

Trust is very important in business,  it makes your customers and clients clue to your goods or services. Before clients stick to purchasing products from you, they need to be able to trust you as well as your brand, they need to trust that whatever they are buying from you matches what you say about the product and they should be able to have the confidence in you that should anything goes bad you will be able to assist them and create solutions for them.

Trust is not built in a day, it's a natural and gradual process, it is very vital that it can destroy your business if not handled properly. Customers are very delicate and once they have a negative impression about you or your business it goes a long way to even affecting other customers as well as intending customers and the outcome are usually not friendly.

Today I will be talking to us about some natural ways one can build customers trust and also how to maintain it. Here are some possible ways you can earn customers trust.

Attitude is very powerful, It is vital and it play a great role just as your skills and abilities do in your workplace or even your business,  it can make and unmake you.  Acquiring lots of skill is so useless without the right attitude. In light of this am going to show to you three different major attitude employers look out for that you should try as much as possible to possess.

• Respect

Respect is one of the most powerful attitudes one must have and this doesn't apply to your employer or management alone, it should also be extended to clients or customers you interact with as well as your colleagues. This will help you excel in your workplace.

• Commitment 

This is also another must have an attitude as a worker or as a business person, this is the must valuable attitude to your employer, they don't joke with this. Be committed to your duties, work endlessly, get rest. You might be doing some things wrong sometimes but your commitment to work will always speak for you.

• Pride

If you want to success in life generally you have to drop the attitude called PRIDE. It kills, most people who have pride hardly excel in their job because it won't let them lower themselves to learn and as such, they always remain in one spot without growth. So please work on yourself if you have this.

Do you know it so possible for you to make money while you are sleeping? Sounds not true right? But shocking this is very possible, all you need is having the right information and ideas you need to make it happen remember idea rules the world and as such just a good idea can make you achieve this. At first starting might look a bit slow but trust me its the best thing to do. Let me give you some few ways you can make money while sleeping.

So many people are tired of their normal 7-5 job and want to quit, yes it's not a crime because there is nothing like been your own boss and working for yourself. To be sincere becoming an entrepreneur and building your own business its very demanding so you have to be prepared for it.

Leaving your job and becoming your own boss without getting broke requires some good home and i will tell us some things you should and must do before you quit your job or else you will get screwed. To get started the below points are very important.

• BE FINANCIALLY READY

You need to be financially ready to hit the street, first of all what you should check is how much money do you have presently in your account not the ones someone promised you or someone is owing you, check if what you have at hand is enough to get you started and also enough to take care of some of your basic needs. This should be one of the major things you should look out for before quitting. Note you don't need to have all the money in the world to quit......starting small is key don't forget that.

• GET YOUR GOAL AND PLANS SET

Do you have big goal in your business and they seem unimaginably and hard to get them done? Well you don't really need to quit your idea or wait till the time is right, all you need to do is start small while you hold on to your big thought, start one step at a time. No matter how ambitious the plans just get started from somewhere and you will be surprise how far you will get without knowing.

Personal influence has a great role to play in your business, This influence has the power to connect you with the high level performers and valuable customers, most people only dream of meeting and selling but business is far more that selling, in other for you to sell your products you need to sell yourself first in that way you keep your customers glue to you. It could give you more authority in your field and awareness of your product or service. Most importantly, it could attract opportunities that can make your time here on earth magical. All of this is what I coined “social currency” because it truly has a power similar to our monetary currency.

Wondering what social currency is right? Don't worry i will do a post on that

Now over to the big question, what makes someone influential? What makes someone a leader in their field? How can someone sell his or herself to keep customers glue to them. these and many more questions on your mind will be answered at the end of this post. There are some key factors that made powerful and great business men and women stay in business, these favours are well analysed below.

• Trust.

•  Individuality.

•  Communication.

•  Value.

• All of your leaders have to care.

•  There's no, "This isn't my job."

• Seek team members who don't care about receiving credit.

•  Look for personal recruits.

• Have an very low tolerance for bad attitudes.

Many individuals as scared of starting their own business because they feel all business requires lots of capital and this has been a great hindrance to them. There are thousands of business you can start with little finance, all you need is just the idea, patience and determine. Today i will be listing a few of them for us to trying and also help on how to get started.

• EVENT PLANNING

One of the first things you need to do is visit every potential event location with which you plan to work. Work with the marketing manager to tour each site and learn what is available at each location. Start a database that will allow you to sort venues by varying features--the number of people each site holds, if there is AV equipment available on site, will you need to arrange for rental chairs, etc. Then when you are beginning to plan an event with a client, you can find out what the key parameters are for the event and easily pull up the three or four sites that meet the basic criteria. and engagement parties, etc.

• JEWELRY MAKING 

There are many different ways of getting into the jewelry business and many different types of materials with which you can work. Working in metal will probably require the most in the way of specific tools. You need to be able to heat the metal to manipulate it, and you need metalworking tools to cut and engrave it. But there are many other materials that you can work with to make jewelry--glass, plastic, beads, feathers, even wood, to name just a few.

• PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Your job, in the case of rental units, will be to make sure the property is running smoothly. For seasonal properties, you will most likely spend your management time making sure the property is ready for seasonal visits and well-maintained when no one is around. If the owners go away for six weeks in the winter, the property manager makes regular checks on the property. You will be the contact number if the security system operator needs to contact someone about a breach in security.

•  FREELANCE GRAPHIC DESIGNER

Despite the proliferation of the internet, print media is here to stay for the foreseeable future! Fliers, newsletters, magazines, information sheets, letters and advertisements are just a few of the types of print media that business hire freelancers to create for them. Websites and online advertising need graphic design services as well. Even if your expertise is only in design, offer the works for potential clients, including the editorial creation and the printing and even mailing of the final piece. You can line up regular freelancers for those parts of the job you can't do.

• HAIRSTYLIST

Hairstyling is a popular business that can be quite lucrative. Generally a home based hairstylist business is likely to be started by someone who has already has a cosmetology career and wants a change. If you already have your cosmetology training and license, and loads of experience under your belt working in a hairstyling salon, you probably have a following that will follow you right home without any hesitation.

• WEBSITE DEVELOPER

Many courses exist (many of which, logically, are offered online) where you can learn the language of website creation and can learn about the details, like how to set up shopping cart systems, security concerns, etc. You will, of course, need to learn about each company you design for. What is the atmosphere of the company that you need to reflect in the website design--is it wild and contemporary, meaning brilliant colors and fun graphics? Or will more classic colors like black, navy blue and maroon be more appropriate?

•   PHOTOGRAPHER

Making money as a photographer can be done in a number of different ways. You can specialize in one area, the most common being weddings. There are niches you can explore for photography: portraits of people and their pets, families, and homes; photographs of holiday events, birthday parties or Christmas cards; the possibilities are endless.

•   DAY CARE

Perhaps you love children. Perhaps you have children of your own and the idea of taking care of a few more for part of the day appeals to you. Child-care needs continue to soar in the United States. Many people prefer the option of their child being cared for in a home environment while they are at work, opposed to a more institutional-like setting. These things mean that a homebased childcare business can get off and running immediately.

• IMPORT/EXPORT SPECIALIST

If you don't already have work experience with importing and/or exporting, you will have a longer learning curve. You can start by learning the basics and hosting educational sessions to teach others what they need to know to get started in import/export. That alone would probably gain you your first couple of clients. If you keep going with educational seminars and expand your reach to outside your immediate region, you could probably develop a sufficient and ongoing customer base very quickly, but be careful not to outpace your learning curve!

Online marketing is very key in business, there are billions of customers out there to be reached, and nearly as many ways to get them interested in your goods or services.  In order to succeed in business or in life, you need to do the most amount of work for the least initial return and marketing online is very key as this will give you a wide range of customers to get to know about you and your products or services.

Note that no matter what method you choose for marketing your business on the web, as long as you ensure that you're adding value along the way, you'll eventually reap the rewards of your work over time. It won't happen overnight, but then nothing worthwhile ever does. 

Now, the big question is how to market your business online. Below are some useful tips that will help you in this regard both the short and long term.

• Facebook adverts and strategically-targeted landing pages.

• Email marketing is also key.

  Email Marketing is also keyDevelop a relationship with your customers through email marketing, Email marketing is something that every business owner should be engaged in, but it's no easy feat. To succeed with email marketing, you need to give something away for free in exchange for the consumer's email address. It needs to be something of value. If you are serious about collecting emails, take the time to create a free report or ebook that will help people in your industry or niche.  However, don't try to sell at every corner and turn. Connect first, then focus on selling.

• Collaborate with popular bloggers.

  Reaching out to to popular bloggers is also an effective way to market your business online, especially if you have something of value to add to one of their posts. If you find a popular blogger who often writes about a particular subject that directly correlates to your line of work, why not reach out and look for ways to collaborate?
  A great way to make this happen is to offer your services as a guest blogger. Clearly, you'll have to have a good background in writing yourself, and it might be difficult to find a popular blog willing to allow you to do this, but it would be worth a shot if you eventually secure a guest post.
  
  

  Offer a free product or service to customers.

  This might sound crazy but it works, Studies have confirmed that people are more likely to accept something for free than they are to pay a nominal price for it. So, why not provide a free service or product to your customers? Maybe you offer a free 15-minute consultation or an entry-level product that you want to give away.
  Whatever you offer, be sure to secure the customer's contact details so you can get in touch with them later. If you're giving away a service for free, you have an opportunity right then to upsell those customers to your paid services. People are more likely to feel like they owe you when they accept something for free as well.
  
  

  • Post photos and videos with relevant hashtags on Pinterest, Flickr, Tumblr and Instagram.

    There are a number of high-domain authority sites that you can post photos and videos on to build a following. Pintrest, Flickr, Tumblr and Instagram come to mind first. Use relevant hashtags and descriptions to properly categorize what you're posting about, and follow others in your industry or niche posting with those hashtags.
    This isn't an online marketing technique that will get you instant sales or even instant traffic. It'll take time. But as long as you're adding value and you're passionate about what you're doing, you'll build that following up over the coming months and years. Be sure to comment, like and engage with other people's posts as much as possible in order to get yourself out there in the beginning
     

    •  Co-sponsor an award or giveaway in a contest.

  Find something that you can give away and co-sponsor an award or contest with another company, group or professional in your field. Use tools like LinkedIn and Facebook to network with others, and locate another like-minded company or professional willing to conduct an award or giveaway with you. The whole point here is to again add value in the public eye.
  
  

  • Leverage the power of Instagram influencers.

  Today, with the ever-pervading power of social media, you can instantly reach droves of people from across the world at a moment's notice. But we also know that algorithms and visibility are working against us, especially when we don't have the reach of hundreds of thousands or millions of followers.
  To reach those people, we need amplifiers, power users and influencers to help spread our messages. While this won't be free, it will give you instant access to a wide audience in your specific niche as long as you select the right Instagram influencer to help spread your message.

The founder of smartmoneyafrica.org, Arese Ugwu, a personal finance platform for the African millennial gave some uselful and poweful tips on how to manage our finances.

In a chat with CNN, Arese said she was inspired to write her book, “The Smart Money Woman,” after her marriage ended and then she realized she hadn’t saved nor invested enough.

Also with a huge gap in the educational financial market in Nigeria, Arese explained that she combined her love of the TV show “Sex and the City” with her expertise in business to writing interesting but useful advice in her book. Although, her advice goes beyond all nations, Arese says she is particular about Nigerians as there are a lot of myths surrounding financial freedom.

According to her, in Nigeria, it is a common cultural pressure for a woman to think marriage will bring her financial freedom how untrue this became in reality.

Without lingering on,here are some practical tips to help make next year more financially smart.

• Budget- set aside something each month

The festive season is when people overspend, however, Arese says that it is necessary to plan ahead, be sure of what needs to be spent and shops should be visited with a budget.
Arese advises that everyone should write down their plans so that they can make them a reality.

• Every little bit helps

Arese says that people should be able to save no matter how little they earn
“There’s a huge misconception that if you earn a decent income it means you’re rich. We judge people here (Nigeria) on their spending habits.”

• Know what’s yours (or not) before it’s too late

Arese advises that it is important for people to be prepared in cases of emergencies like job loss or death in the family.

• Your bank statement should reflect your values

Arese explains that if a person spends over half her income on going out to restaurants and shopping, then there may be need for setting priorities right.

• Rethink 2017

Arese says the New Year is a good time to have a rethink about one’s financial situation especially with Nigeria’s economy. She advises that people find other means of income and not rely on just one.

• Just say no to spending

Finally, Arese advises that people should focus on experience rather than things in the festive period as the best way to avoid debt is to shun spending.
