How I Started My POS Business Blog in Lagos and My First Small Win in 2026



Many people ask me why I started this blog http://Businessgisttv.com.


My name is [JOHN], 

I live in Lagos. I started POS business last year with just ₦50,000.


It was hard. Network failed me. I lost money. I made mistakes.


So I decided to document everything I learn here on this blog to help other young Nigerians who want to start small business.


This blog is not just about POS. I will share about Moniepoint, Opay, Palmpay, small business tips, how to make money online in Nigeria in 2026.


*My First Small Win:*


Last week, one of my readers sent me message: "Thank you, your post on Opay vs Moniepoint helped me choose Moniepoint. Now I make ₦3k daily profit."


That message made me happy more than money.


*My Promise To You:*


I will post 3 times every week on this blog. All posts will be honest, from my own experience in Lagos. No fake story.

I have seen many POS businesses close in Lagos. They all made these same 5 mistakes. Avoid them. *Mistake 1: Sitting in a Hidden Place* Don't open your POS inside street where nobody passes. Go to junction, bus stop, market entrance. Location is everything. If 100 people pass your shop daily, at least 20 will do transaction. *Mistake 2: Having Only One POS* Network will fail you. If you have only Moniepoint and it fails, customer will go to your neighbor. Always have 2 POS: Moniepoint + Opay. *Mistake 3: Not Having Change* Always keep ₦20,000 in small notes: ₦100, ₦200, ₦500. If customer wants to withdraw ₦5,000 and you give all ₦1,000 notes, market woman will not take it. *Mistake 4: Being Rude* POS business is customer service. Greet: "Good morning sir, welcome". Smile. If you frown, they will not come back. I lost 10 customers because I was moody one day. *Mistake 5: Not Writing Daily Profit* Many people eat their profit. Buy a small notebook. Every night write: How mu...
