In my country I can buy a fully registered and activated SIM card for $3. I was thinking of buying these SIMs then create email accounts, social media accounts like Facebook, Instagram, telegram, and others. Then later sell these accounts. But I'm just not convinced that there is enough market for it, and also worried if accounts from my country Nigeria will be worth a cent.

Your right, the dream is different from reality. Its not easy to sell if you can these accounts, as there is so much protectiont hat goes into the registration and mainatiance that to just throw accounts aropund different countries and computers, is always going to raise a red flag, and you can't afford to give people a bad business and have loads of people running after you for refunds, cause you got in too deep.

Look for legimate ways to make money, and with payment gatewaysment that are valid in your country. If you can't find any online, i suggest, you go ask all the local shopkeepers and industrial warehouse importers and exportersm how they work digitially internallatacally, what cards, and banks they us etc.,

Then publish a book called "Making it in Nigeria Digitally" And write the interviews up,a nd your own notes and research about what it takes, and what you need to do, and in turn how and what you can be exposed to digitally.

TBH people from your country all work for that nigerian prince, so it can't easy to do anything digitally or new, but there are a ton of ways if you wait, its the payment gateways that are few. Take time to learn, to earn legitimately, as long as you can register in most cases, an america, or european country, and postal address.

Good luck.
 
There are gmail (new) accounts for sale for less than a dollar, and are created in tier 1 countries. In bulk. Trust me, those vendors have this locked down to a t.

Instead, you can do something with those google accounts you create. Ideally, do ads and you can make a decent money.

Your advice about earning legitimately is valid, but the “Nigerian prince” remark is a blatant ignorance and discrimination. Nigeria has over 200 million people. Reducing an entire country to an old internet scam stereotype is like judging every American by Wall Street fraud, every European by colonial exploitation, or every citizen of a country by the crimes committed by a minority.

Millions of Nigerians have absolutely nothing to do with scams and are working hard to build honest businesses and digital careers despite barriers that people in richer countries often take for granted. Condemn scammers and fraudulent activity all you want, but don’t insult an entire nation or treat innocent people as criminals simply because of their nationality. That isn’t intelligence or “advice" it’s prejudice dressed up as concern.

Thanks for your honest and matured response, will definitely make more research about this.
 
This business model can be troublesome as mentioned above, but many people still buy accounts created in the Philippines or Vietnam, I myself bought some in the past and worked for a while, knowing it's a temporary solution. I wouldn't have a problem buying a Nigerian one and I guess it's the same quality overall, there are tons of Russian, Vietnamese, etc providers who are useful for some businesses, especially related to FB Ads and emails...

Nowadays I don't buy them anymore since I shifted to another business model, but you can sell using PayStack or EBANX, both are available for Nigerians and accept international payments

I don't have experience about selling proxies, but it deserves some reading as well, I don't know if it's profitable for you, but it's another potential good usage

Fair enough you put up good points, and show you are smart. It is i that is ignorant, as I only see one side of a coin and at best 1%, best of luck on your travels. If there are lots of digital companies in nigeria though like you say, perhaps you might find more money than nickel and dime schemes, actually working for these companies as an engineer? Recruitment agencies are always a nice way into the front doors of office based good paying companies. Nearly every one of my jobs, apart from cleaning, and security, has come though a recruitment agency.

Also don't lead the way with account selling against company t&c when it comes to business scams, if you care about your countries reputation. I would like to read a success story but the only other person that posted here from the same country said every young person is involved in scamming, and he wanted to bust the trade open. He talked alot of depth about it.
This is where i learned the term "yahoo boys" lol is what he called them.

Just whatever you do and look for, don't get banned and think that blackhat means you have infinite re-spawn ability. Most times you don't, so put your time and money carefully in to what actually works and is legit, and will provide you witha good income long term after years of work.
 
I think the competition is very hard to get it done into the budget. Is alsmost impossible to beat them down as they use a lot of devices to create just the accounts and if you get like few sims you stand no chance to make it big...... you also need time into market to build trust and having few accounts will be not enough to supply the big buyers
