The internet is a very fruitful place. So many people are getting their entire income from it. Also, there are many legitimate ways to make money online.

Now what you need to do is see internet as a real life. Think of how you can solve somebody's problem on real life and adopt the internet as a platform to make it blossom.

You can start selling online either on your own online shop or on other popular shops like Konga.

You can do blogging business and make money from advertising.

You can. market helpful information products.

And many more... But you need to Learn it.

Hope this is helpful

You are going to work any online job. You need to be able to create niche for yourself, build an online business and grow it.

Instead of working a job, build business and employ others.

I'll be able to help you if I know your potentials. What are you very good at?

Building business is never a one-strategy-fit-all stuff. It boils around providing a value for someone. You are special and unique in your own way and what you only need is to discover it.

Me, created a blog on business tips and now I am able to publish 11 ebooks (digital products) which I sell to interested buyers. Apart from this, I sell advert slots to interested advertisers.

I don't know how to put it but at least I employ 3 people to work with me.

All you need is to discover yourself and you are good to go.

Do you think the first point is applicable to all states where PCM would serve? Saving 70% might be a hard task for places like Abuja, Lagos, PH, Calabar and investment-oriented states.
Re: 5 Things To Do During Your NYSC Service Year by ajoskele(m): 7:49pm On Oct 24, 2014
70percent of alawee?... hihihihihihihi.. I laugh in Chinese!
Bros, will you stop hiding the truth from these prospectives and lead them on the right path?

You CANNOT do professional courses and at the same time save up to that, except you have other sources of income.

Yes, I know this is a difficult goal to achieve but its achievable. You can decide to be so innovative that you might not even touch your alawi. This, however will depend on lifestyle and being financially intelligent. I thinks its achievable because I personally did although I did not serve at the aforementioned states.

What's your take on the CDS groups on camp and their relevance to corp members - how beneficial are they?

Personal cds is entirely personal and the decision to do it must be as a result of personal passion. Personal cds is more or less like volunteering since you are rendering a selfless service to the community. So, apart from fame, there's nothing much behind it. Of course being famous to the level of bagging a national award might be very interesting.

Well, depending on your approach, you can make much money for yourself with your personal cds. I was the guy behind the Hope4kids Project 2012 and the legacy still lives behind my service year. For this project, I raised funds that tripled the amount needed for the project.

So its up to you to decide whether you'll do a personal cds or not. For this, simply follow your passion.
