Using the internet to run your business

The internet has become key in bringing your business to the larger society. Despite this development, many businesses in Nigeria and other countries are yet to fully take advantages of the internet in respect to running businesses.

The major factor for the low adoption of these technologies is ignorance. Businesses are yet to appreciate the value that internet technologies add to their businesses. Businesses in Nigeria are yet to be convinced on the merit for the extra cost on internet technologies.

The low adoption of internet technologies by businesses in the country is also attributed to the non existence of internet infrastructure in most parts and even where they do exist to the huge investment required to adopt the technology.

A lot of businesses in Nigeria are yet to have an ordinary email. Web hosting and building a website is more like rocket science to a lot of businesses.

Messaging (Email, Whatsapp, Video Calls)
