This is why side hustles is encouraged. Multiple streams of incomes is the only way to have enough to save. Living from hand to mouth can be stress in itself.

The internet has offered a global platform to make money as a creative, content creator, blogger, freelancer, etc

Observe, hustle, earn and thrive in anywhere in the world. You can even do this for free using Google and YouTube.

Absolutely! It's the financial roadmap for many high income earners online all over the world.

But the secret to blogging success is consistency. And it's a solid business model that opens other opportunities you may not have imagined as you grow over time in your blogging career..

You can check out my old digital marketing thread I started about 5 years ago to confirm. I'll check now and drop the link for you.

Alright.
So the option three(3) is the best one?
I will like to start with option three(3).
The $100 you said i will use to start, how much is it in nigerian currency?

Will someone help me to open or create this blog, then afterwards i will start using it?
How will i actually make money from blog?

I did a quick search right now to see if there is cheaper but reliable web hosting company to start with instead of the big ones.

With less than $30 you can get a domain name and cheap web hosting. This is less than N50K cash investment. You set up your blog website yourself with our training or go online to get free tutorials on how to do it if you are not a newbie.

But our digital marketing training comes at a price. We're not heavily doing training anymore but investing the time to earn more money in dollars instead of chasing Kobo Kobo in Nigeria.

Yes, option 3 is the best. The exchange rate is what scares new bloggers now. When it was $1/N500, you'll be looking at N50K as start up capital. But at $1/N1700, that is huge investment for a business you may not be confident about.

Creating a blog can be done by you with guidance. Every set up is done by you. So, you've every business information to yourself. You're not depending on somebody to get along.

How much money you'll make is a function of your effort, energy and determination really.

And one more thing, you must be a good writer to excel in this business without spending additional money to hire freelance content writers to write for you consistently.

But the returns can be mind boggling if you know what I mean.

If you're not a good writer and not willing to learn as well, blogging is not for you

Love800:
How can one start a blog?
Am good in sports(football) niche.

It depends on your budget and/or willing to invest to a start. Options are:

1. Totally free route using free blogs such as Blogger dot com or WordPress dot com. But you get sub domain to use which is not too professional e.g. https : // yoursubdomain . . com

2. Semi free start up using custom domain with free hosting. That is, register a domain name for $10 and about that same amount to
renew per year and configure it to free web hosting e.g. https: // yourdomainname . com.

3. Register a domain name and use self hosted WordPress blog where you've to pay for website hosting per year. It cost about $100 or less to tow this route. But it is the most rewarding because you assume landlord status while (1) and (2) above is like a tenant's status.

Options to monetize your blog is wide and flexible with option (3). But dollar exchange rate can be a problem now if you're on a tight budget and not willing to make sacrifice and invest forward.

I hope it helps. You can do your due diligence as well

Is crossing over to Europe that easy, the cost, the stress, the processes, the buttons to press, the steps to take and the entirety of the whole process. I also have the ambition of crossing over but you know what people say , when something hasn't happened to you, you will be quick to condemn

Guy, your write up is topnotch in terms of English usage. Sometimes, we look for opportunities where they are not. Creating a blog and consistently publishing content in your area of expertise like phone repairs and technology would earn you at least $500 per month from affiliate income, contextual adverts like Google Adsense, and so on.

All you needed is at least 6 months of consistent work going forward to start living the life of your dreams.

You don't need to travel abroad the hard way that is not even guaranteed to pan out.

Business is really hard in Nigeria if you are not there 247,
We are too wicked, greedy and dishonest.

Less than a week, I employed this boy o, to manage my gas filling retail business and POS.
He displayed passion, initiative and experience about the gas filling business and handling of POS....so I just took the chance, we also speak same language. I've been acting nice and all but I think I now know why most Nigerian bosses are mean to their workers by default
.
Now from first cylinder we couldn't account for 10kg
Second cylinder was started today by him......when I told him to calculate everything sold from first cylinder based on daily record book ....it felt short of 10kg
.
From the sales from second cylinder that started today, The account book does not tally with what is remitted through ATM/POS mode of payment .....I dint know this until I checked my Moniepoint acct as I got home now cos my phone was dead before I went to the shop this evening
.
Even the POS part of the business does not tally with the cash I gave him this morning for people who need cash withdrawal
.
I'm boiling right now realizing the boy had lied to me when balancing the account this night using the record book, only to get home and power my phone to see cash fell short of 23k in my monie point acct linked to the POS
.
.
How do you handle boys who think they are smarter than you because theyve been in the business before?
.
And what are your experiences with dishonest workers in your business , especially this gas retail business or POS business
.
Modoified: how do I handle this case now....cos my mind is just boiling ....how can a new business fall short of 38k in less than 7 days...

.

Don't arrest him yet. People around may see you as a bad person and it will be difficult to find person to work for you.

You need hard evidence.

First, find a day you will be free to stay with him in the shop. Start with him and both of you agree on opening balances.

After the day's business, reconcile the books together. If it agrees, he knows how to balance books. So, no excuse from there.

Next, you show him what he is opening with the next day which is today's closing balances.

If the next day, anything goes wrong, he has to explain and you can now bring out previous hard facts about his stealing which you have.

Police will only eat your money which is another open stealing from your business. It should be the last resort.

In a distressing incident that has captured widespread attention online, a husband discovered his wife, a teacher, in a compromising situation with one of her students in their matrimonial home. The shocking video footage, which has since gone viral, raises serious concerns about inappropriate relationships between educators and students.

The video shows the husband confronting the young man, who was forced to sit on the floor in only his boxer shorts, alongside his wife. "What made you come to the house?" the husband asks. The visibly uncomfortable boy responds, "She invited me to come." The husband then demands, "To come and do what?" leaving the young man struggling to reply.

The disturbing encounter has ignited a wave of outrage on social media, with netizens reacting strongly to the situation. One commenter noted, “Like I said the last time, these women are very daring. "If she wasn’t caught, tomorrow she would be among those ‘lifting up holy hands unto the Lord’ in church without shame.” Another user condemned the situation, stating, “This is literally rape. That young man is too young to consent.”

One user remarked, “The husband is learning a life lesson while the boy is also being taught a lesson by the same tutor—who happens to be the wife.” Others expressed concern over the prevalence of inappropriate relationships of some women.

I hardly believe this type of story.

A woman bold enough to bring a guy to her matrimonial home cannot be intimidated by her husband while she is being filmed for extramarital affairs.

Was the film maker on stand by while the brouhaha was going on? Or is the husband doing the filming himself?

Will the woman have been so foolish to open every door for the husband to catch them?

People just cook up fiction stories to gain "like and share" online money making opportunities.

Yes, things like this do happen but in suspicious, deniable or provable settings.

LordBiden:
But sorry a toilet cleaner wont be able to afford a home.

Even if he takes a mortgage it will take him like 35yrs.

But he can save, buy a house in Nigeria and you or someone else will become his tenant.

yinkbell:
Thanks so much for timely response.
I have got your number. I will definitely keep in touch sir.

You're welcome!

yinkbell:
Your post is so insightful.
I do write fiction stories; though as a beginner. Pls, let's connect. You will be a good mentor.

Do well to mention me with your contact sir. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks so much.

Thanks for the compliment. Please my WhatsApp is in my signature below this post. You can reach me from there.

Hi.
Pls, how do i start a blog?
I can write good sport(football and boxing) articles.

My WhatsApp is in my signature for further discussion and training if need be.

It will always be difficult to get what you want in life including remote jobs. But you can go round this by doing something unique to stand out from the crowd.

First, make sure you learn and master sellable digital skill.

Second, build trust and credibility with your target audience.

Third, demonstrate your digital skills through your virtual office i.e. blog website.

Example, when I wanted to start freelance writing many years ago, I offered to write 4 articles for a product creator in exchange for the guide he was selling.

He was selling the guide for $17 then and my 500 words per article was $10. And I ended up doing other freelance writing gigs for him at my rate.

From there I successfully launched that freelance writing career.

But the best way to showcase your skills now is to create a blog around your target market.

Chronicle your journey through blog posts, using niche audience keywords and phrases to write these articles with SEO in mind.

This involves upfront investment anyway in domain name registration and web hosting to run a WordPress blog platform.

Your digital skill can be in anything e g. graphic design, virtual assistance, freelance writing, SEO, consultancy, brokerage in expertise between seller and buyer, social media management,, video editing, just name it.

So, you need credibility to get clients and referral and you have to demonstrate your expertise to earn it.


Unfortunately, a lot of people don't want to invest in themselves and future to get sustaining jobs and income.

And be creative in everything you do to attract the type of people and remote jobs you desire to get.

The above steps I took years back worked for me and I am still reaping the fruits of my labour today with many internet businesses that sprung up from that humble beginning.

My 2 cents

sIfioksq:
What a sight to behold! A woman with an empty pot joining the protest in Ojota. This is what we call a grand show of desperation.

While some are genuinely hungry for change, others are merely hungry for attention. The empty pot is a perfect metaphor for the empty promises these protests bring.

Instead of uniting to build, we are busy parading our woes for the world to see. When will we learn that no amount of noise will fill those pots if the leaders remain deaf to our cries?

Let the government remain deaf while they continue to embezzle public funds that they would have used to take care of security, fund education and healthcare.

Before things get to this climax, our leaders are aware that there is hunger in the land.

Let them continue to pay deaf ears to yearnings of the citizens whose tax payments and natural resources they are embezzling to fund their opulent lifestyles.

A day is coming in Nigeria when monkey will go to market and it will not return. Can everybody be a politician? Can everybody pledge allegiance to all the shrines they go to in order to guarantee winning.

If you're currently eating from your master's table, a day is coming when the people's voice and rights will bring you down.

Continue your defense of bad leadership. Our corrupt leaders manage their personal and private companies with accountability and transparency and come to government houses to siphon money meant for the people for personal gains and at the expense of the masses that they are supposed to serve.

Leadership is about service and not to amass wealth.

iHart:
I a bit confused. Why will those in UK protest when they are in greener pasture? Anyway, we are ready to hit the streets tomorrow

Don't they have families and relatives in Nigeria?

pansophist:
The man sef.

Making a video to disgrace his wife, but ends up proving that he doesn't have sense. She is your wife. You don't make a video to disgrace her. Solve your issues without a camera.

All he just did is give strangers the license to insult his wife, the mother of his kids, and a woman he has sworn to be one with.

Who told you that the couple don't know what they are doing? They want to go viral and make money online. Who would have been videoing them if it is not arranged? They are in business together jo!

Ladiesdoctor:
Rubbish

Super Eagles is in a wrong hands at the moment.

Even Nigeria is in wrong hands.

Emu4life:
The Government is not sincere. You enact policies that have made life expensive for the masses yet offering Peanut as Minimum Wage.
Basket of Tomatoes is now 150k, while Rice is 87k but the Government is proposing 60k as Minimum Wage.

Does it make sense to them that a Nigerian worker cannot buy a Bag of Rice or Basket of Tomatoes with their monthly salary??
Isn't this wickedness of the highest order?

And they are emblezzling millions, billions and trillions of naira and naira equivalents that they can never finish.

Tax payers money and oil money that is supposed to be for the common good of the people is in the hands of few leaders who feel it is their luck and turn to siphon wealth of Nigeria.

Until we start revolution to punish every living leader who has impoverished the masses for personal and unlawful wealth, the looting will never stop.

But who will bell the cat? Enough is enough. Suffering in the midst of plenty is appalling to say the least.

Contact a reputable seed vendor or an agro store for certified F1 pawpaw seed. Planting seeds extracted from pawpaw fruits will hardly give you desired result...

Wow! Thanks for this information.

I noticed every time I plant pawpaw seeds in my garden, they turn out to be mostly male pawpaw.

I need expert advice on how to turn the odds to be producing fruits. Thank you.

Watianoengineer:
For those blaming APC and president Tinubu for the hardship in the country, are you all aware that UK and Japan are currently in economic recession? Is it APC and Tinubu that is ruling both nations? Nobody should blame APC and Tinubu for the rot the PDP government of Jonathan caused. What we are suffering today is the result of the Jonathan government's recklessness. Peter Obi and his PDP gang brought Nigeria to her knees. May God help our dear president Tinubu to fix the country like he did in Lagos.

You're talking as if the countries you are referring to and comparing us with are blessed with the same natural resources we have. If not for corruption, Nigeria would have been an Eldorado or haven of sorts.

Don't just exonerate any politician or party here, whether past or present. The way they run Nigeria to death is not how they run their private companies or assets.

Be honest with yourself. Suffering in the midst of abundance has become a curse in Nigeria.

seunmsg:
Whatever. He has proven to everyone that the "Emi Lokan" claim wasn't a misplaced claim as he is now the president. Whoever is not happy about it can use the lagoon.

You've the effrontery to make this claim because our leaders are selling Nigeria piecemeal to the highest bidders. A time of cleansing is coming and you and cohorts will pay dearly for the sacrilege! How it will happen I cannot tell. But I know Nigeria is God's project and it cannot be desecrated by greedy leaders we have.
