ADVANTAGES OF FIVERR TO BOTH BUYERS AND SELLERS
It is free to join. You don’t have to pay any fees.
The website user interface is easy to use and pretty engaging.
Creating is not a science experiment and is very easy. I’ll advise you to check out gigs by people on the site so you don’t end up making a gig with no customers.

Freelancing is getting more and more lucrative everyday with some freelance workers raking more than $100 hourly. According to Stephanie Kasriel, the CEO of Upwork, there has been a great increase in the large-scale use of freelance talent by fortune 500 companies and businesses are becoming reliant on freelance specialists. And why do you think this is happening? Because those freelance specialists can provide expertise that these businesses need and they proactively upgrade their skills.

And this is why I've provided this extensive list of skills that are on the list of fastest growing, highest paying and high in-demand skills obtained from research on online freelancing market sites like Upwork and Fiverr. Read through the list, choose a skill, make plans to learn it, take action by learning it and perfect your skill till you become an expert at it.

HIGHEST PAYING AND BEST SELLING FREELANCE SKILLS #1: LOGO DESIGN
Logo design is a hot selling item at the moment especially on Fiverr and all you need to do logo design is Creativity, knowledge of graphics software like photoshop, illustrator or Corel draw and more creativity. Of all the sub-skills under the Graphic Design Skill, logo design requires lots of creativity because your logo designs must create a symbolic image that represents your clients, their interests, and their businesses' customers. It's a skill that you can get customers for both online and offline but your work has to speak for you.

HIGHEST PAYING AND BEST SELLING FREELANCE SKILLS #2: BUSINESS CARD DESIGN
Like Logo design, Business card design is also a subskill under Graphic design. It's also a high paying skill too and it even requires less creativity than Logo design and adequate knowledge and experience using graphical software. All you need to do is create a business card for people to give customers and potential customers containing their personal and official information.

HIGHEST PAYING AND BEST SELLING FREELANCE SKILLS #3: FLYER, POSTERS AND BANNER ADS DESIGNS
You'll be surprised at how much money these designs rake for offline and online freelancers. This skill involves creating flyers, posters and banner ads for events, businesses, etc. Do you know how many events and businesses exist on campuses all over the world? Hundreds. Maybe thousands. Even if you're not an online savvy person, you can still make a lot of money offline on your campus using this skill.

HIGHEST PAYING AND BEST SELLING FREELANCE SKILLS #4: INFOGRAPHICS DESIGN
Infographics design is another skill that is trending these days, it involves the design of infographics which are a mix of design, writing, and analysis that take deep data and present it in visual shorthand. It helps to communicate complex data in a visual format.
Infographics design is a popular skill today because it is easily scanned and viewed, it creates brand awareness and increases web traffic.

HIGHEST PAYING AND BEST SELLING FREELANCE SKILLS #5: OTHER GRAPHIC DESIGN SKILLS such as drawing cartoons, creating vectors

HIGHEST PAYING AND BEST SELLING FREELANCE SKILLS #6: VIDEO CREATION
Like Graphic Design, it's a skill that has many sub-skills like Video Editing (which ranked #16 on Upwork's fastest growing skills list), creating whiteboard animation videos and many others. Video creation sub-skills such as Video editing, etc are in high demand especially in 2017 when 74 percent of internet traffic was video-related.

One of my friends – Jane needs money, the money given to her as pocket money from home is mostly insufficient to cover her needs. On Tuesday, her mother sent her N6000 (roughly calculated as $16 ) to cover all her expenses for the month. She needs to restock her foodstuff with at least N3000 (roughly calculated as $8 ), by the end of the week, she has to buy some textbooks and pay some lab fees worth of N3000 (roughly calculated as $8 ). By the time, she does all this, what will she spend during the month?

That’s one of the challenges many students face everyday, but adults have things even worse because they have a lot more costs to consider with no consistent flow of money from anywhere. And this is the reason why Side hustles are essential off the Internet or on the Internet.

Even if you don’t have any shortage of money, you can start a side hustle business just for the experience or the thrill of finally earning money yourself. If you take this mindset, then the sky is your starting point. Don’t be one of those students that finish from the University only to sit at home jobless, poaching off friends, parents, and relatives while “SEARCHING” for a white-collar job.

HERE ARE THE 66 SIDE HUSTLE IDEAS THAT YOU CAN IMPLEMENT TO MAKE MONEY OFF THE INTERNET:
1. Events Planning and Management
2. Graphic designing
This involves using computer software such as Corel Draw, Photoshop, and many others to create a banner, invitation card, brochure, business card, Logo, Poster/Flyer, etc. I only started learning graphic design in September 2017 but even though I’m not an expert now, I’ve come a long way since when I was still a beginner. I can say I’m at the Amateur stage of graphic design mostly because I don’t have much time to develop myself. If you want proof, I designed the logo of this site all my lonesome.

3.Writing Services
Do you know how to write short stories, poems, catchy adverts or even better blog posts or just basically creative writing? Then you should be able to find someone to offer your services to on your campus. Though you’ll have to do a lot of advertisements because just as you have a large number of potential customers, you also have a large number of competitors.

4. Hairdressing services
This entails both making different hairstyles and styling people’s hair for them. This is actually a very good source of income especially if you know how to braid hair and make technical hairstyles. And the best part, it doesn’t take that much time.

Let me use this scenario to explain, a student, Folake knows how to make hair and she needs to make some money so she decides to do just above 5 people’s hair every week during the periods after lectures when she’s too tired to read. So every week, she makes up to 5000 especially if she’s making braids or fixing hair. Cashing in 5k every week is a good start on the journey to making money for an undergraduate.

5. Photography
Ask anyone, we all know that Photographers at Nigerian functions take pictures of people and make a ton of money from it especially if they are professional and very good at it.

The university is a good place to make money as a photographer. You can take passports, take photos of events like matriculation and inaugurations, take pictures of face models, cloth models, etc and many other things. All you have to do is have really good picture taking/photo editing skills which you’ll combine to make you a big name in the sea of photographers in your university.

6. Photo editing
Though personally, I believe this should be under Photography because a good photographer should also know how to edit his photos to give the desired effect. However, many photographers pay people to edit their customers’ photos for them, so you can also do this.

7. Baking and Pastries
All you need to start a business in this area is to have basic baking knowledge. Know how to bake a cake and dress it with royal icing or fondant if you want to focus on cakes. But there are other pastries like doughnut, puff puff, small chops, meat pie, etc that you can make and sell. The profit may look small but consistency brings great results.

8. Videography
Both online and offline, videography especially video editing is a profitable venture as many people shoot different videos that need editing to be professional.

9. Tailoring
You can make good money helping students mend their clothes and sew new ones. If you’re very good, your customers will run to you themselves.

10. Phone Repairs
Almost everyone in the world owns a mobile phone, in a Nigerian University where you need to keep abreast of news, changed lecture venues, changed timetables, etc, a phone is very vital or you’ll end up missing out on a lot of things and some have even missed out on rescheduled tests because of lack of a mobile phone. That is why when anything goes wrong with a student’s phone, they start a search for a trusted person to repair their phones. Those are your target audience.

PHgirl:
Are you in school?

Not yet. I'm goin on d 17th.

Solexy96:
Simply take a bike and tell the rider you are going to Computer centre...
If not, make your way to the senate building(you should know where this is) along the main coming from the halls.
Continue down the road past the faculties of health(on your right) and biological sciences(on your left).
You'd get to the faculty of pharmacy. The computer centre(or lab) is opposite fac. of pharmacy.

Note: Ensure that you don't get to the school of postgraduate studies. It's beyond fac. of pharmacy and comp. centre.

Safe journey!

ok, thanks a lot. I'm really grateful.

Hey everyone, I have a question.
Please can someone give me the full address description to go to the computer science lab where they correct errors made during online screening from mozambique hall?

adeshola1:
there are 3 options for that level

the best is to play mystery quest for which consists of 3lvels for 24hrs each

please explain better, I don't understand.

queenabby:
am tired of playing d game....I don't get to clear all d jelly still in level 14 and u

I'm in level 35 and they are asking me to buy d next level or something like that...

Pls can someone tell me if I can fill the health questionaire and the student part of the medical form at home? And do we fill it with pencil or biro?

azeezat201:
I'm a d.e fresher,I filled the 1st and 5th... does it mean i've to upload the professional certificate?

I don't know anything about that ooo. But I guess you should upload what you filled on the 5th section.

azeezat201:
Please how do I upload the scanned documents? There are three column for attached documents,but i've two certificate to upload, ... o'level result &birth certificate

If you have only one sitting o'level result, it means you filled section 1 and 2 of your certificate form. You can't change d certificate form so just print it and bring it 2 oau wen you resume.
Upload your scanned o'level result twice in the two spaces left for it and upload your birth certificate. You can continue your online screening but you will have to rectify that certificate form mistake before you can do any registration or screening on oau.

babysmart:
pray for 'easy going' roomates

I've been doin dat since march because whether one likes it or not, roommates affect one's university experience.

Timmytimmy:
Chemical Engineering.

The name of the course self is heavy. Me I love maths oo but chemistry and physics are wat drove me away from science class.
Wish u best of luck sha.

babysmart:
Evening all

By dis time next week, most of us will be in d prestigious OAU













I think I'm starting to get cold feet

Me self. I'm just kind of scared of leaving home I guess. I wonder how I'll manage with my roomies because I'm a little too private about everything especially anything I write.

Timmytimmy:
Lol. Nor vex. What department?

I no vex. Its actually quite hilarious self. Dept of International relations, u?

Timmytimmy:
Thanks, bro.Dazzlemee, you're welcome, even though I didn't just quote the dude for you. The dude was annoying.

Guys, the thread is fast losing purpose. It's one thing to joke so as to make things lively and it's another to turn the thread to one of the many run-off-the-mill threads in sexuality session.

I guess I'll just have to become more serious here.

Timmy I be girl o.

Dick4Moz: Y'all thinking I am creepy, sorry about that. Y'all should try and ignore the bad part of me. Only few of you will get the big picture. I am trying to let the chic know I've got interest in her. And some had to open their mouth with their modaphuking opinions.

Hey Dude. Sorry 2 do dis ooo but I'm just goin 2 come out and say my mind even tho I've been silent all dis time, readin d conversations and havin a good laugh.
You cannot show a girl interest like dat ooo, instead you just make us really wary of guys.

Dick4Moz:
Pay Back time is nearing.

Dude I thought you said you aren't trying 2 be creepy, abeg u dey scare me ooooooooooooo.

Timmytimmy:
Dude, there's a thick fat line between teasing a girl/giving a complement and being a raunchy jerk. I think I know who you are. I can't just prove it but please stop or we will introduce you to the mods

To think that I thought i was making an innocent joke when I first commented on her picture. Guys,can we stop? Thanks.

Timmytimmy you are making sense jooor! Dis ur statement has earned you a lot of respect from me ooo. Respect jooor! (Saluts)

Guys can we resume on may 2 with all our load

How soon can we come to school and get our bed clearance slip signed so that when we get to school by that may 3 or may 2, we'll just arrange our things in our room instead of carrying our bags and baggages up and down.

Timmytimmy:
Have you tried to log out and re-log in again. Click on Load Certificate. Click the cursor on each column in the second section that you have filled and delete what you typed there. Then submit again. Make sure your Internet connection is strong because the e-portal might be over logged with users. and a Desktop or Laptop might be more advisable. Check your online Summary form to confirm if your changes reflected.

If this doesn't help, keep calling the hotlines or reach them at: isis@ouaife.edu.ng

If that doesn't work, you might have to travel to Ife or wait till we resume. I don't think registration should have ended by that time.

Or does anyone have other suggestions ?

Thanks a lot.

davidbanner:
I second the motion...... do as he says

Thanks a lot.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER??
Hey guys, I made a mistake and filled section 1 and section 2 with the same waec result in the 'Load certificate form' part of oau's online screening. Now instead of doing just one waec sitting, oau thinks I did two sittings and it has refused to clear off. I tried calling their hotlines but there is no answer. What do I do?
