But that shouldn’t be your problem because technology is actually more advanced in many parts of Africa including Nigeria. Internet is everywhere except you are staying under the rock or something.
2. Payment Gateway
This is actually another crucial part of this business which used to be a barrier but not anymore. For you to successfully order for your products you need to have a valid internet means of payment are chances are you already have. So far you have your regular ATM cards, Visa, MasterCard, Dollar Cards etc. chances are you can easily buy your products online easily.

Immediately you finish this course take your first step.
But do make sure you come back to this and read and re-read to get the nitty-gritty and digest everything as much as you can. Don’t be scared to make a mistake. Your greatest mistake will be the fact that you did nothing while others are making the best of this business.
