A lot of people who are in Alaba international market in Lagos are in this line of business and they are making good money from repairing such electronics.
I thought they only sell electronics in that market. I didn't know that they repair electronics there too. In all, I wish I can repair electronics too because it is very lucrative. I could still be doing it on the side.

With this business, you can't open your shop or workstation and you would sit without any job coming in for you to do. People are always bringing things to be fixed and you the electrician is cashing out.
You can even make repairs in your own home. I know people who open their shop to bring only electronics and then close their shop again. Their customers communicate with them by phone

Only house elements like fridge, cooler, waschmachine. PC is still good but mostly it goes on upgrade than repair. Rest is hard to fix especially smartphones or TV. TV new motherboard cost as new TV.

The business of repairing electronics is so good. You don't even need a shop to thrive. Just let people know you are good with it. Some would even bring their electronics as late as midnight for repairs.

No be only Alaba international market dem dey do am. Go Onitsha, Owerri, Aba all in Nigeria, you will see plenty artisans do it.
Electronics equipments are common in every home, and are succeptible to faults anytime. In fact, there is no long time guarantee on them. You could buy one today and get fault the following day. The artisans are making plenty incomes from repairing them.

This not legal type of work. If official store and service found out for you they will report you and you pay big fine or even go in jail, If you will do this don't advertise yourself and don't become to big.

That could be for your country though. In my country, no one has your time. It is a legit work and you don't have to subject to anyone. You don't need licensing for this kind of job.

In my country, it is very valuable, and you can make good money; however, you need a lot of skills and things like that to actually make money; it's not easy and requires patience.

The business is a skill based business. You must actually be very skilled in the repair of electronics. Best bet is to know how to fix just some sets of electronics and stay there. It would still pay.

It is extremely profitable. We all have electronics that we make use of, these equipments tend to have faults the more we use them. The problem these days is that it is pretty hard to find professionals who can repair these things.

The funny part is that one doesn't need much to start this kind of business. You just need the skills about how to repair electronics and it's accessories. You can even start it at your veranda.
True, when it comes to this line of work, the most important thing you should try to have is the skill to do it. There are so many persons who are into this line of work and they are making good money from it even from their home.

I think repairing electronics is a good business in certain places only. This is because in many places, many people may feel the need to replace old electronics with new one instead of repairing them.
