People are always complaining of lack of jobs. It seems many peoples thinking has been conditioned to work under someone. There is nothing like lack of jobs rather there is lack of ideas.

Everywhere i turn my nostrils are assaulted by the stench of mental and physical inertia. I always tell unemployed people to stop looking for jobs while there are jobs looking for them.

For instance there are many companies, organisations and individuals in Nigeria that have websites but do not know anything on how to market the sites to attract much visitors. What stops anyone with entreprenuerial bent from doing a research on how to market websites then tap into this area and begin to make instant money?

Iam not a web designer but i have web design proposals written in my business letterhead before companies, businesses, individuals, etc. When i get the job i pass it over to a web designer then get my joint venture money, this is really paying. Money is a child of ideas.


Do you know that there are rich men in your area who are stark illiterates but needs a home teacher? there are many of them, and most of them will pay anything to overcome the embarrassment they face. Immediately you offer the service, you will get instant responses, i told a jobless friend to try it, today he is smiling to the bank consistently.

Again, you can monetize your gift, skill or talent. If you discover that you are funny or makes people to laugh, you can sharpen your skill as a comedian and combine it with MC jobs, you will be surprised by the amount of money you will be making in a month, comedians are living big these days with most of them cruising in exotic jeeps. One mistake that people make is that they allow their natural gift to die, someone that is supposed to be a millionaire in a particular field will be wasting time pursuing other things.

You can be a paid public speaker as well, iam a motivational speaker so i know that there is much money in public speaking if you sharpen your skill and be a colourful speaker, there are other topics you can develop and become a sought after guru as a speaker. Iam so good in motivation that people often look with awe on how i do it, now iam about to start a public speaking training academy to train others. Another money making avenue, you might say.

There is no limit to what you can achieve in life if you put shame aside, you can monitize your hobbies as well. If you can dance so well, why not dance for money? with so many musical albums hitting the market every week, dancing is becoming quite lucrative, no matter the genre you decide to dance on, again you can introduce a dance academy to train people on how to dance, iam not a good dancer, if i see where i will be trained, i will pay. If i could have such a need, there are others out there with the same need as well.

Do you write well? you can be a paid columnist as well, this one is not hard as you think, just grab a niche and master it and begin to write for a targeted publication. I don't think i can exhaust all the ideas on my head in one post, maybe i will write an update later, but i want to see your replies about these ones first.

Don't think i don't know what iam doing, i know i can package this and sell as an ifo product but iam tired of hearing people give one flimsy excuse or the other on why they are jobless, so i want to throw the challenge free of charge. If you need a step by step approach on how to go about on any of the ideas i mentioned here, feel free to contact at www. championscity.com

Hello, pls tell 'em' make dem hear. that is the best advise a stranger can give to anyone. thumbs up bro

Muchacho,

You never know how far you can go unless you take action, there are genuine means of making money but people tend to overlook most of them , that is why unemployment is high.

If you don't move, the sea will not open for you.

'Don't stand looking for the perfect opportunity that you miss the right opportunity.'
Opportunities abound everywhere. People should wake up and stop complaining.

This thread is not about buying and selling e-gold, we are discussing how to motivate people to make use of oppoprtunities.

The only one obstacle that is stopping a lot of people is fear of taking action, if you take action today, you will be amazed where you will see yourself tomorrow. Go start something! Do it now

i am also intrested in making money from writing in columns. plz can u help me with how i can get jobs??

Good work Goldlink. why dont you join the Financial Exchange Network so you can distribute your knowledge freely to a growing base of Individuals. In addition, you will receive finance in form of weekly payments to expand and develop your business. Chk out the site www.financialexchangenetwork.com to know how its done.

Quite informative, see, i am new to this forum and this article is the first i am reading on this forum. I strongly believe in information sharing. More grease to your elbow.

I feel u on everything u put down. I am a good writer, write mustly romance stories, but i can write dem well on anything. Another area i have love for is thriller stories, filled with suspence. I can also write article, but i have bought alot o these e-books that claim to teach pple how to make money rom writing, but dont live up to it. what advice can u give me. maybe i'll just call u.

Those using this thread as a means to advertise their products and services should have a rethink, we want to use the thread to awaken the dormant possibilities in us. As for the person asking how to be  a columnist, you can start to send your articles to media houses you know will need such articles, when they see that you are good and consistent you can turn to a paid columnist, as you become popular other media houses will begin to lure you to write for them as well.

The other person that asked on how to progress as a good story writer, you can do ghost writing jobs online, where you help somebody to write a book for a fee and other writing jobs, you can get such jobs at scriplance.com, elance.com, guru.com. my Guy that asked question on ebook cover, yes i can help you do that.

Hmm! very impressive!! Its' really true.

Yes i design ebook covers.

This is a great thread.

But I want to add to this:

There are opportunities everywhere. I think we (escpecially Africans) needs to change our mentality. Our major problem is: We always disbelieve whatever goes contrary to our opinion; which is fatal to success in any endeavour!

My brother yo are spot on, you really hit the nail on the head, i completely agree with you.

an indian man once told me that it is only in nigeria that applicants tread on money on their way to the employers! Money abounds the streets, unfortunately they are seen only by the foreigners. See how wealthy those indians are! They come here with nothing, but they leave with everything

Don't seem to understand u.

What he meant is that most Nigerians only think of where they will be employed intead of thinking of how to come up with their own business ideas and become employers of labour. Hope you understand now?
