CandyOps:
Start creating content. It could be about what you're learning. Or how to use time effectively. I mean just document your steps on a channel.

So in other words, start a channel

2nd tip- learn online advertising. Fb, YT, Google advertising. You need to learn just 1 and how to use it. It's an evergreen skill.

3rd tip- invest time learning all you can about coins

Please tell me more

You've identified your passion - Data Science. Buy a laptop use Edx, Coursera etc to start learning Data Science. These platforms have sufficient materials/tutorials to make your hands strong and become a true professional. You may not even need to spend money in the regular tutorial computer centres. Thereafter, monetize your new found skill.

My suggestion is based on the fact that you are currently working just that the pay isn't much.

Bro while I read your post I smiled to my self because I can understand this situation perfectly, I was in similar position with my finances up on till last year , I had my regular job but ends did not meet as I had hopes for. But things started happening for me when I stumbled on a powerful yet money making and skill acquisition venture. Truth is you can still do your present job while you use this as a means of acquiring skills and improve your income. If interested reach me on WhatsApp 08065879915

I don't do mentorship but if you have free time start creating content and posting online about things you like talking about. Just do it for fun. Who knows if you'll blow up on TikTok or YT?

I think everyone who's earning money should be able to earn smarter. Not just by selling your time... That's why I suggest online skills.

So I suggest you learn online skills like Social Media advertising. Fb averts and Copywriting. Or Google ads

Then also be reading up on coins

I have always seen and known Nairaland as where ideas and solutions come from very matured and experienced members hence my bringing this topic here for advice.

I currently have a job though not paying very well but I enjoy the flexibility it offers.
I work 8am to 12noon Monday to Thursday having Friday and the weekends to myself.

I am very enthusiastic about learning digital skills especially Data Science and saving up for that hoping to start in the first week of January.

Please I need suggestions on what things I can do to get money in this my 'free period' pending when I am able to start my digital trainings.

All suggestions are appreciated no matter how crude as I am ready for anything not illegal to better my currently battered financial state.

NB: Location is Lagos

Very nice question.

I'm here to read comments.

Meanwhile to contribute my own opinion to this matter, I suggest you start watching Porn during your freetime.

You will find it very exhilarating and refreshing.

Devote your time randomly researching on YouTube daily.

You will get a direction. Wish you the best
Re: How Do I Make My Excess Time Productive by Easyincome24: 1:29pm On Nov 05, 2021
So good of you for asking this question.

Data science is a promising job as many data gets bigger and needs people who can analyse, handle, store, process and manage data.

While working your way up, the few free hours could be converted to money by offering services in high demand.

You could consider the following:

1) Tutorial Lessons: you can offer a tutoring service to pupils either home tutor or special centres. This is subject to your passion in imparting knowledge as it is not a job meant for everyone.

2) Consumables: If you look around, you will see that anything food or drink sell. Without considering if it should be left for one gender, you can make puff-puff, doughnuts, chips for sale. Location has nothing to do with food and drinks. Moreso, you don't need too much cash to begin one. You could also partner with someone who can make it why you distribute and collect your commission.

3) Wearables: Same strategy as above, meet someone who sells in bulk, you could buy in bit or sell base on commission. Despite the hardship in town, people won't go naked, as such everyone wants to package with whatever they have. This will mean you need to research what wearables are common among low and mid-income earners as they constitute the larger percentage of workers in the country.

4) Late night sales: In local areas, there is usually what they referred to as "night market". Usually this market kicks off from 5pm and closes around 11pm. It is such a market where people who have gone to work look up to for a little shopping. You can look at few goods to sell. The only thing you may need is knowing the fees to be paid to the local market council.

5) Digital business: You could also venture into sales of digital products. There are many videos online that can help you horn your skill on how to run Facebook and Instagram campaign for your marketing. Digital business marketing requires consistency as it is not meant for someone who wants to go in there now and within 24 hours dream of becoming a millionaire. So it has some hardwork, research to put in.

I will keep editing this once I remember other ways that could be helpful to you.

Meanwhile, your current job is a blessing in disguise. Several income earners will envy you. They would wish their present jobs could offer such free time. Many high income earners ain't happy despite the perks. Nothing like freedom.

All the best in your decision!

Stop deceiving yourself. You and the people liking and sharing your post.

I know it makes you feel good to believe that some how everyone who's making money is into shady deals like you.

But that's not true.

If you really have interest in Data Science as you stated, I did recommend World Quant University to you. They have a very comprehensive syllabus covering almost everything that you need to kick start your Data Science journey but you must be ready to work hard. The good thing is that it's free.

You can also apply for the McKinsey and Company Forward Africa Program, it's currently open now and it's free.

How can I apply for McKinsey?

I can assure you that you did be better off if you are able to complete these two programs by 2022 Q1.

You don't need to save up to learn digital skills. All you need is a laptop that's connected to the internet. Go to YouTube, Udemy etc. There are tones of free courses there.

Yes, you can manage it to your schedule.
On the average, you need about 4hrs per week for the McKinsey Forward program and an hour per day for the World Quant University Data Science program. I guess the next cohort for the Data Science course starts in the first week of January or so while application deadline is December.

Btw, one differentiating factor about the World Quant University is that they do have OFFICE Hours about thrice every week for the duration of the program. That's an opportunity to ask for clarification from your instructor if there's anything you don't understand. I like I typed earlier on, it's totally free and a verifiable certificate will be issued upon completion of the program.
