How Businesses can Earn in Dollars from Nigeria
This week is off to a good start at the AGS Tribe. We’d be hosting an Instagram live session this evening, open to everyone who wants to learn a thing or 2 about earning from your business in foreign currency and not just depending on customers within your country!
For this session, we have a guru, Mr. Nduka Udeh, the founder of @exportandsell. He’d be taking us through the process of listing and getting your products sold on sites like Amazon. He’d teach you all you need to know to qualify for getting on Amazon. At the end of the session today, he’d take us through the importance of this aspect of sales and why it is important for all businesses to export in order to expand.
Mr. Udeh will teach us step by step how to start exporting within 30 days
Isn’t this a banger?!
Nduka Udeh is the Group CEO of American AirSea Cargo, and has spent over a decade overseeing the shipping of millions of items from the USA to Nigeria and vice versa. He has also helped in building individuals starting with a few dollars to dealing with import and export of container loads of shipments. With a staff strength of over 100 both in the USA and Nigeria, he knows what it takes to safely deliver your shipment between Africa and the USA. His passion is to help small businesses in Africa access the US market by easily pushing their products on Amazon and other sites all over the USA.
Join us today by 5 pm!
