Here are 5 side hustles you can start with 10k in Nigeria.
1. Data Reselling Business
Buy cheap data in bulk from MTN, Glo, or Airtel SME and resell to people on WhatsApp and in your area. With 10k, you can buy 50GB and sell it in pieces. Many students and workers need data daily. You can make 2k to 3k profit every day.
2. Mini Importation and Reselling
With 10k, you can order small items like phone pouches, earpieces, or fashion jewelry from Jumia or local wholesale markets like Computer Village or Idumota in Lagos. Sell on WhatsApp Status and Facebook. One item can give you 100% profit.
3. Popcorn and Suya Small Business
Start a small popcorn business in your street. Buy corn, sugar, and groundnut oil with 10k. Sell in front of your house or school in the evening. People buy snacks every day. You can make 4k daily profit if you are consistent.
4. Freelance Writing on Lodpost and Other Sites
Just like you are doing on Lodpost, you can write articles and get paid. You don't need money to start, only your phone and data. Write 2 articles daily about relationship or finance, share them, and earn dollars. This is what smart Nigerians are doing now.
5. POS Support and Phone Charging Business
In areas with poor light, start phone charging with your 10k by buying a small power bank and extension. Or work with a POS owner as an assistant and earn commission. You can also offer to help people do online registrations and charge 500 Naira each.
