In this post, I'll be talking about "My Skills & How I Make Money With Them" Without any iota of pride and with all humility, the skills I possess are as follows in no particular order: - Web design (Website design for individuals/companies, blog setup, school portal setup, etc) - Writing (For Websites, Blogs, Ebooks, Physical books, etc) - Professional CV Writing - Mobile Marketing Setup (Bulk SMS Business Setup, Ring back tune/caller tunes setup, Shared/Dedicated Code Setup, Toll Free/Non-Toll Free Numbers Setup, etc) - Ebook Cover Designs - Professional PowerPoint Presentation Design/Setup - Etc How then do I make money with these skills? You don't need to know everything before you begin to make money with whatever skill you have. You can start with the little you have and milk it continually all the time. How Do I Make Money With My Skills? I will start with my writing skill and I will use Nairaland as a case study to show you that if you know how to package yourself properly, you can make money via this platform. One of the major things I identified was the "section" where my services was going to be needed. I was able to identify my TARGET MARKET. You need to be able to identify the category or set of people that will be needing your services. As a website designer, I know that there are times clients will give one a job to do but will not provide the content for their website yet will expect you to come up with their jobs. There are times you might ask them for it but the information they provide will be very little and might not suffice to do the job. You therefore have to create time to research and develop content for such jobs or contract the writing to someone else. Check out the post I created some years ago (Precisely on August 22nd, 2011) >> https://www.nairaland.com/741686/web-content-writing-development-support After I identified my target market, I identified the problem that my target market was having and positioned myself as a solution to their problem. I periodically updated my solution and before you know it, I had contacts from people who needed my services. I got a contract to write for a forum way back then, I also got a contract to develop content for a human resources firm, I also got a writing contract for an e-commerce firm and so on. Presently, I am writing for 2 separate blogs providing unique articles on a periodic basis. |

My consistency in updating my thread about my solution to helping website designers/developers in the area of web content writing/development has gone a long way to helping me become a better writer. It helped shoot my internet research scope and also widened my knowledge in so many field of endeavour.

Please, if you have questions, feel free to ask them. I will be willing and ready to answer them as much as I can. |

How To Use The Power Of FREE To Make More Money With Your Skill Many people love free things - that's a fact. If you know how to package this, you'll make more money. As a relatively unknown professional CV writer, I knew it would be difficult for people to believe in me since I had no track record. As at then (I think 2014 to be precise), I was a member of the 2013 Batch A NYSC thread and had already made friends with some of them via our interactions on that thread. I therefore decided to write CVs for FREE for those who were interested. Why did I do this? I did this so that I could get the TESTIMONIALS of those I wrote the CVs for. I re-crafted the CVs and requested for testimonials from those I re-wrote them for. This they willingly gave. Armed with these testimonials, I created a completely different thread in the NYSC Section targetting "FRESH GRADUATES and or CORPS MEMBERS." Here is the link >> https://www.nairaland.com/1802532/professional-cv-rewrite-corps-members I also priced my service at an affordable rate and then posted the testimonials I had earlier gotten on the thread. This brought in sales even up till now. Recently, I created a FREE CV REWRITE OFFER in the Jobs/Vacancies section here on Nairaland. The aim is to get new testimonials and then use them on the website I am specially setting up for my Professional CV Writing Services. Here is the link >> https://www.nairaland.com/3121333/free-cv-review-first-5 I thereafter created a group on Whatsapp named CV Rewrite/Job Search Tips and sought the permission of those that took up the free cv rewrite offer to add them. They all willingly agreed. The aim is to share job search tips FREE OF CHARGE and thereafter tell them about my Cover Letter Writing Service. They will take up this offer as I have already built trust and confidence via my relationship with them. I will expand more on this later. Thanks. |

Nairaland Testimony I'm sure some of us know a big man on this forum by the moniker - Jarus. He is a well known figure right here. He started harnessing his skills by always sharing what he knew for FREE. Yes, I mean FOR FREE! You can visit his blog - www.jarushub.com and see the different products and services he has on offer. He didn't start in a day. When you share your expertise for FREE when you begin, people begin to see you as THE EXPERT. They come to respect your opinion on issues that are peculiar to your field of interest and even beyond that. You've got to utilize the POWER OF FREE to harness the monetization of your skills. Here's an action step-by-step you can implement here on Nairaland. 1. Locate the section/subsection where your prospects are. 2. Create a thread and begin to share your expertise day by day. 3. Be consistent and ensure you are available to answer questions posted. 4. Upgrade your skills services by providing one-on-one consultations for FREE. 5. Then sell your skills/services to clients whom you have impacted with your FREE SERVICES. You can update your post by letting your prospects know that they can get more detailed personalized services/products if they patronize or consult you. 6. Repeat the process over and over again. 7. Upgrade (I will discuss this in details later on in this lecture). Go ahead and take ACTION! Thank you. Please, don't forget to post your questions here or reach me via: Whatsapp - 08144303049, BBM - 2B6A257E or Mobile - 08098086797. Thanks once again. |

Jarus: Oga Jarus, It's an honour having you grace this thread. As much as you have impacted the lives of many others, so also have you impacted mine. I remain grateful Sir. Words cannot comprehend what this affirmation means to this thread. It is my belief that every reader will see this thread for what it's worth. Thank you once again Sir.

Oga Jaybee3, Thanks for your question. However as a serious Christian who is desirous of making heaven, I can't give an answer to your question because it does not improve lives as it gives way for the lustful desires of the flesh of which the bible strong warns that "I should flee from." Therefore, as an obedient child of God, I decline to provide answers to your question. Thank you for gracing this thread. 2 Likes |

Bigdreams: How exactly are you going to make money if you can't be flexible with your approach to your customer's needs? Must you discriminate? So you are basically going to decline helping me to print millions of T-shirt with a message to support the LGBT community just because it's against your religion? You need to get real and i'm sure you must have come across key competencies one needs to be able to survive in the corporate world especially considering how diverse it's always going to be |

My Oga Jaybee3, Thanks for your response. I don't discriminate. I do what is right. My life is ordered by the Word of God which is supreme above any monetary pursuit. I can't pursue wealth and damn my soul in hell. It's better I don't do what will make God angry with me and make people angry than please people and make God angry. No one can stand God's wrath both now and in eternity. Hell is a place reserved for those who decide to trade their soul for the vain things of this world. I am not saying money is not good, not at all. However, I prefer without any apologies, to make money the way God deems it for me. Jeremiah 10:23 says, "O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." The way I do my business is of utmost concern to God. It's better for me to forfeit millions and make heaven for "what shall it profit a man to gain this whole world and lose his soul." Jesus died for my soul and that is far more precious than any monetary acquisition. I don't want the death of Jesus over me to be in vain. I want to make heaven. Thank you. 3 Likes |

THE POWER OF RELATIONSHIP BUILDING Though this was not part of the outline I shared at the beginning of this lecture, I am writing about it now because it is very important to the monetization of any skill you have. Relationships are very important when it comes to making money with your skill. What I am doing right now is building a relationship with you such that you can entrust your funds to execute a project for you now or in the future. While I am giving you this lecture free of charge, I am also bonding with you as I share my ideas and expertise. The same applies to any skill you have; you should not just be concerned about the money you intend making. Be concerned about people, be concerned about their needs, be concerned about their desires. Even if you disagree with some of the things they might say to you, it's proper that you ALWAYS present yourself as one who is able to comport himself without getting infuriated at such comments/discussions. Some years ago (precisely in 2007) when I started my computer training school, the school population increased because aside the qualitative training I gave my students, I bonded with them so well that sometimes we eat together from the same plate. It brought so much camaraderie that they would always refer other computer training prospects to the school. Even though I closed down the computer training school in December 2012 before going for national youth service, I still remain good friends with many of them. What is the bottom line of all I am saying? Be GENUINELY concerned about people. Be concerned about their needs. Be concerned about how your products and or services can help them get better. Don't just shove your products and or services in their faces. Be of help to them. 1 Like |

Good day everyone, How are you all doing? I believe we all are learning something great and unique on this thread. I will be continuing with my lectures. Today I will be talking about utilizing social media to monetize your skills. I will be lecturing using my own personal experience. Facebook is free. Many people however only use facebook to kill time, chat away their lives, comment and like pictures unnecessarily, hope for the latest discovery amongst many other things. You can turn facebook to your own money making machine. How? Simply sharing what you do or can do periodically on your facebook wall. You can also take it further by sharing your posts in various groups that you belong to. I have personally done this many times and it has brought in money for me through direct contact with people who need them or via referrals from people who saw my post and decided to share or inform others that are in need of it. You can convert your facebook wall to a treasure house of knowledge. It's very much possible. Let me share the example of Mr. Uju Onyechere, one of the contributors in the Success Digest Newspaper published by Success Attitude Development Centre (owned by the highly revered father of internet marketers in Nigeria - Pastor Sunny Obazu Ojeagbase). Mr Uju Onyechere has a group on facebook called "Models & Mentors" (You can search it out. He even has another one called Models & Mentors II). In this group, Mr. Uju used to post different articles on a daily basis (I don't think he does that anymore). The posts are so impacting, life changing and highly beneficial. This he continued to do for a very long time maintaining his consistency. Not too long after that, he put up a product for sale. What was the group members' response? They swarm around the product like when ants swarm around sugar. I also bought the product way back then. Why was this possible? 1. He freely shared his skill with us in the group. 2. He provided feedback periodically as people commented. 3. He understood the POWER OF FREE (which I have discussed in previous posts). What are you waiting for? Begin to monetize your skill using your facebook profile. Thank you. I am a website consultant. If you are in need of a professional website or blog as an individual or company, please kindly contact me on 08098086797, 08144303049 (Call/Whatsapp), BBM: 2B6A257E. I will provide you with my portfolio of previous jobs I have done before. Thank you. PS: If you have any question, kindly post them here or reach me via my contact details above. |
