Online Shopping and Online Stores in Nigeria
We all know Nigerian Youth are amongst the most active when it comes entrepreneurial matters. While some venture into production of goods, others render services and even the females are now becoming very much more productive especially in the fashion industry giving different styles and touch of Africa to it.
Now we know the internet has become a platform to easily show case what you can do especially through social medias. But most African entrepreneurs are scared of the internet because of the poor view they have towards and this limit their reach to wider range of customers and clients. If you are one, then I guess this is for you.
If you really want to go wider with your products or skill, manual publicity will cost you, even thinking of creating your own website will be more costly to build & maintain, when you could easily take advantage of e-commerce websites with their free platforms.
One other reason why I think youths dont take shots at this platform is because they feel it’s for those who got strong grounds in business and have enough products to display so they tend to blank off at the thought or mention of E-commerce.
Now I’ll gladly introduce to you a free platform called Afrolet.com created by a Corps member that is meant to give youths an opportunity to take part in this digital/internet marketing world *for free*.
Although, its was newly launched, but yet, it tends to give everyone a platform to showcase what they can do, be it entertainment, graphics, fashion, artist whatever the case. So you ought not to bother if u have products or not, you could simply create a shop for that skill you have or u want to venture into, stating your address & contact incase anyone need ur services. If you got products, you could go ahead to upload to items you have for sale in your shop.
Now this is totally free, thus, why not take some time out of your busy schedule to always try free platforms like this out since it costs you nothing and now that it’s new, shops you create & items you upload will be among the first people will see before Afrolet.com starts taking a high turn of visitors.
We must enlighten our Youth about taking advantage of the internet world, e-commerce sites and social media as this is where the future lies and most likely the earlier the better
