I understand how you feel (being a graduate myself). The country and the economy are not being fair at all to youths.

Here is my recommendation for you. Learn a digital skill and build your portfolio. Here is a list of skills you can learn with your smartphone.

1. Content Writing
2. Graphic Designing
3. Video Editing
4. Blogging or Youtube Creator
5. Social Media Manager.

There are others, but I will stop here because I have experience in the ones listed above. You can learn these skills with your phone and even earn from it.

I have a youtube channel that focuses on training beginners on mobile graphic design, video editing and tips to make money online. You can check it out to learn at your pace (I am not trying to advertise to you).

I use to tell my students that research is a skill you need to cultivate. There are thousands of resources online to teach you any skill you want to learn.

I hope this help. Cheers bro

Please permit me to sound just the way it is, because I am tired of life at the moment.

I graduated from the university years ago but at the moment it seems I am more confused in life than ever before. The dream of every undergraduate is to finish and be gainfully engaged with work and finances but mine is the opposite.

I have been job hunting for all these years but without any success, making me to gradually lose hope and focus in life. Needless to say this period has been one hell of a time filled with hunger, anger, lack, frustration and more.


Long story short, I'm totally dissatisfied with my condition as always, ever since I graduated from the university without a job, this, I need a better life.

I have read suggestions of digital skills from members of this forum but I'm yet to see one I can learn with just my android phone. I don't have a laptop at the moment and can't afford one but I am very serious and ready to give in my best for any good digital skill I should learn.

Dear nairalanders, I can't continue this way, else I may become a criminal in near future. I need your input on what skills I can learn with my Android phone, start working and making money with it and better my life the way it should be rather than the 'mess' I find myself in today.

Thank you for your responses.

Lalasticlala, Seun, Mynd44 and more, please help push to front page.

Happy weekend guys. While enjoying the weekend, also create time to learn a thing or two

Happy weekend everyone. It is never too late to start a new skill.

This video will show you 5 ways to make money using canva for complete beginners

Happy weekend guys... Who wants to see this tutorial?

Happy new week.

A good way to prepare for the coming year is to learn new skills that will put you ahead of your competition.

The honest truth is that your earning power is directly proportional to your learning power. This means, the more you learn, the more your chances of earning.

Here is a live example, the starting salary for a web developer in Nigeria is around N150,000 (could be more depending on your level of experience). Whereas a graduate is not sure when he is getting a job because the government claims every office is occupied.

Digital skills are the best form of investment you can do for yourself as you prepare for 2022. And the best part is there is room for everyone in the digital space, you do not have to be a programmer to earn online.

Now to top it all up, you do not need a laptop to begin your online career (for those saying they don't have a PC). I will list out some skills you can learn using your smartphone.

6 Skills to Learn with your Smartphone
1. Graphic Designing
2. Video Editing
3. Content Writing
4. Blogging / Youtube Creator / (long term investment)
5. Social Media Manager / Influencer
5. Crypto Trading (high risk involved) - [not ideal for beginners].

I will be updating this thread with more information about each of the skills listed above.

In the meantime, you can follow my blog for more tips on careers and skills. Link in my signature.

Also, we have a premium masterclass where we teach Graphic design for smartphone users. You will go from beginner to advance designer after going through the training. Check my business page => https://instagram.com/ndmediadesigns <= all designs were done with my phone.

If interested in the masterclass, comment your number so you can be added to the group.

Congratulations

Thank you�

I work as a software developer and content creator. In addition, I also offer branding services as a side hustle.

Over the weekend, I completed a branding project for a startup.

From my experience, when designing a logo for a brand, the colours and icons you use should reflect the brand. It should have a message attached to it.

I teach graphics designing on my website and YouTube channel... You can check the link in my bio to connect with me.

PS: if you need a professional graphics designer to brand your business, feel free to reach out to me for more details.

I'm a per time student of a well known university in lagos state nigeria whereby I work and school at the same time but my monthly income isn't just enough for me to settle my bills and I have always have a thing for blogging, using the word thing is even an understatement because I really love blogging as I'm always jealous of any bloggers I come in sight with either I meet them online or offline, so the bottom line here is....

I just got myself a new laptop but I really don't know where to start from to be a blogger, all I know is I need to have a valid website to be uploading my news and stuffs, that's all I know for now, and is blogging really that lucrative like that..

Please Nairalands fams aid/guide me on how to go about it.

Blogging is still very lucrative when you know how to blog for money.

You need to think of your blog/website as a brand which means you should spare no cost when it comes to building your brand.

From my experience, here are some of the ways to start monetizing your blog.

Side note: All these will work when you start getting viewers.

Ways of getting views
1. Research and create content that solves people's immediate need (such as tutorials, reviews etc)
2. As much as possible avoid copy and paste (make your content unique)
3. Share your post across various social media platforms
4. Optimize your content for Search engine

Ways of making money
1. Accept Paid guest post or sponsored post
2. Affiliate marketing (promote other people's product)
3. Create your own product or ebook.
4. You are clearly an expert in one Field... Promote that service on your site
5. Google adsense

Hope this helps!!!

Hi ladies and Niggas
Masters in the house how can i be good in writing post without plagrism.
please recommemd a way for your humble learner

Don't rush into posting regularly. Take your time and research the topic before writing about it.

Write key points you want to explain.

Read and understand what others have written and then write in your own words.

Starting out on YouTube was challenging because nobody knows who you are, and you're not getting any traction.

That alone is enough to discourage someone, coupled with the fact that this is Nigeria.

We still pushed forward and eventually started getting traction. Today we are more than 10k strong.

We say a big thank you to all our Subscribers. In light of this, we are also celebrating this milestone with a little GIVEAWAY we have planned for our Subscribers.

Anyone can win and everyone is a winner. There's something for everyone to get from us regardless.

Here's our giveaway video Incase anyone wants to participate. Or you want to support us.
