FOOTBALL VIEWING CENTERS
If
you stay in Nigeria your must have observed the passion most Nigerian youth demonstrates
when it come to football, especially in viewing European football leagues.
This
is another gold mine in Nigeria especially for this fact that Nigerians like
watching football with friends in bear parlor, soccer viewing center. Other
can’t afford to subscribe for cable network like DSTV, MYTV etc to view matches
in their home.
Success in this business can come if you employ good customer service.
And this is another business most opportunity seekers have not explored. Some viewing centres collect N70 per match.
Which means that if you own a viewing centre of (let’s say) 500 capacity you
will be making 70 x 500 =35,000 or 100 x 500+50,000 for just one match, ,most
weekends are full of match (for premier
league) and at the end of the week you must showed up to at least 5 matches.
Now the above calculation is just an assumption. Some of the matches attract
more viewers than others and you also need to remember other expenses like the consumption
of fuel, payment of staff, dstv subscription among others. But i can assure you
that this venture is a very profitable one and that the return on
investment (ROI) is above 50%.
Now a well run football viewing centre can give
yo up to N200,000 monthly. You may think am just exejeraing about these figures- but if you visit a near
by viewing centre and enquire, you will hear for yourself.

youth and middle level people. Your building need to be in a hall like form
with good windows.
