Before I share my story let me say that it changed my life positively, I believe I'm on a better chance of becoming successful today and more intentional in whatever I do.

I was originally not a business kind of person all through my life until about a year ago, I was 22, I believed I have a bright future ahead of me and so I was reading, learning and researching a lot, I really wanted to have a career in tech. I needed tech skills like software development, cloud engineering, NLP (chatbot/virtual assistant development), but my biggest issues was that I wasn't practicing enough, in fact almost not at all. Well, in tech you don't get paid for the knowledge, you get paid for the skills, I had that in my mind but I couldn't practice because I needed some money to start practicing. Here are things that I was doing wrong;







All these changed in Semptember 2021, when I made the decision to get a side hustle, make passive income, earn few bucks at my spare time so I can take of these needs and also support myself in college, I was in college at that time. What really motivated me was when I read an article about making money online doing small tasks on Amazon Mechanical Turk. Unfortunately for me, Amazon Mechanical Turk wasn't accepting workers from my region, Nigeria, so I started searching online for similar websites to make money because at this point, I wanted the money so badly. I wanted to make some money at my spare time so that I can continue to learn all the skills I needed, to have a successful career in tech (software development and cloud engineering). When I searched online, the quickest ways I found was to start making money from survey websites and micro task websites, for those I don't need to invest any money nor put in much time in advance, I could just start immediately but the best paying website were not available for Nigerians and some other part of Africa, so I spent more than two months earning pennies or nothing from the websites I registered for. Eventually it became better when I knew the websites that were legit and available for me to earn, I didn't have to go online all day searching for "legit survey/GPT websites paying Nigerians", I knew the ones that was doing well for me based on my region, I simply had to go for the best offers, surveys, tasks, etc.

In no much time, I was making more than $100 every month, sometimes more than $200. Yeah, not much, I know but I wasn't spending all my time working online, I was also keeping myself up to date with tech. Within this period I was able to buy a laptop, pay for some college fees, subscribe for internet, pay for online courses, registered for the AWS, GCP, and DigitalOcean, and currently building on these platforms. I have gotten various certifications from notable websites.

In fact, I am currently hosting various websites; one of which is my website which I linked below, where I write articles to help other people who wants to make money online doing various jobs, for specific regions were it might be hard to earn money online, I try to tell them what websites might work better for them. I can say rightnow that I am much more happy with my life and looking forward to the future. 😊

Congratulations on your discoveries and success.
I'm like you with a lot to do but no means to start.
