Keep on with the chicken business. Get someone to manage when you are away.

You want to be told and not to be told? Choose one!

Let me get this straight

1. You started a chicken biz with no experience and got 50k
2. You now want to leave it to someone you know will fail
3. Apparently there is a biz wazuans know about that will allow you to hire someone that you know will fail.

I don't know about you, but I'd stick with the shickens and forget about hiring someone. Have you heard of the shickens farmer in Nyeri with an aeroplane?

Buy used iphones from amazon and ebay. Ship to kenya via DHL. Post your ads for free in olx and google trader. Also posters in KU kama uko huko. Sell them from your college room.

There is potential to make 5k per gadget (selling at 15k - iphone3g and generic tablets).

Aim at graduating to laptops and other IT equipment. Also plan on getting a stall at sarit/westie/or CBD within 2 yrs of the hustle.

p/s I did several businesses while in campus. From printing, selling cds, "helped" friend buy laptops etc. Didn't make much money out of it but the experience was very enriching.

Ok @Mutaga,
It is never easy to start a new venture. If i were you, i would not let off the chicken biz out of worry about being failed. Get a better shamba boy and it should be well. In the meantime, how about you identify a need within your campus and work to satisfy this? A friend of mine had a tuck shop in campus and i guess he made loads of cash. He operates the shop to date.

Ok so exactly what do you sell in your online store? what is educational material?

Classroom notes e.g ACCA,CPA,IT,CFA,CSIA...guides and stuff...nothing much...

Since you seem like a nice fella I'm going to give you some free advice.

1. Never, ever tell people how much you earn online and then send them to the website where you earn whatever figure you quoted.

2. Don't offer services that you cannot do well. eg the web design services, plus on a KBO are a no no.

3. You are very far from making a decent income from just your laptop and internet connection. Please don't believe the hype. You will likely fall for a scam like tommorow morning.

4. I'll say this again to you. Since you are still in college, take this time to learn. If you are interested in making money from your laptop, then this is the time to learn, not invest your hard earned 50k. You have a lot to learn going by your website quality.

5. Business is simple. Find something that is profitable then scale it. You had your shickens. They made you money. That is what we call a sure thing. Stick to that and scale on it. Fire the bad employee and hire accordingly.

6. These assets you are talking about can make you learn to be the best telephone shickens farmer in the world. You really don't have to be an internet guru.

and good luck

the only other thing i am good at is swimming...once considered a career in the navy

Wouldn't trust him to design a website for me going by his website quality.
