This is a cry of a jobless Nigerian youth.

Not to rely on the normal 9-5 job which I have been seeking, I have learnt soft digital skills like Copywriting, Digital Marketing, Domain Flipping. But these are not generating revenue for me because I hardly have jobs to apply them. In the case of domain flipping, to make sale is not a child's play. I have used my little money to have a portfolio of 6 domains but sales are not coming even with aggressive outbounding.

May be coding would have been different but I can't afford a laptop.

I'm afraid of my future! I'm just afraid!!

Op your problem is that you trying to be everywhere. From my experience, if you want to earn online and build authority, you have to pick ONE skill and focus on it alone.

I focused on Copywriting and I've made $30,000+ with it on Upwork since 2020.

I didn't say digital marketing, email marketing or other noise.

Just ONE skill.

Build reputation.

Get More testimonial.

So, niche down to a particular skill and go in.

Don't give up pls

Not true.

All digital marketing skills pays alot as there is demand for it globally.

He should just niched down to a particular skill and implement all his knowledge ruthlessly.

No digital skill is useless.

Me, I'm a Copywriter and no regret

Here I was crying my eyes out all day because I've reached my endurance threshold and wondering if my life could get any better.

OP, I'm in your shoes, except for the fact that I'm doing a few writing jobs when I get them as well as make handmade sweaters i.e crochet/knitting. This is a hobby that is actually keeping me afloat. The money is not life changing or that which can give bragging rights but better than jumping buses for a 50k salary in Lagos.

I've seen other comments tell you to look for a niche and stick to it. I think that's a good idea 💡. Please, keep trying and never relent.

I'm not saying domain flipping is bad ooo but don't expect it sales in any moment soon. It's a matter of grace.

You can pack a $5 domain today and tomorrow and offer of $650 will come a week after. And sometimes in the next 6 months they wouldn't even price it let alone buying it.

I've account with namesilo and I packed few domains I'm expecting $4,890 if ceteris paribus...

Same thing i experienced. It seems not everyone is destined to make money online. I exhausted all my upwork connects without getting a job, my domains stayed more than a year without anyone even pricing them. I had to sell my amazon kdp account after making just 3 dollars in over a year.
how did you sell your Amazon kdp account. How much. Mine is getting to 10 years or thereabout. Mine is approved and linked with my Payoneer. How do I sell my Amazon kdp account.?

i made a sale this morning on domain flipping, so cancel what ever you wrote about domain flipping..
your issue is thay you are not being patient enough, you said you have 6 names on your portfolio and no sale.
i made my first sale after 7 months of flipping, and have you gone back and check past post of gurus like them boss iyke and others,
have u ever cared to ask them how many names they have in their portfolio and how many will expire soon.
stop complaining and work harder

Op should pick one skill and stick to it. I ventured into synthetic indices in 2021 after NYSC. Initially, I was loosing money and wanted to quit, but I persevered. Today, I've become a profitable trader as I consistently withdraw $150 every month to complement my teaching job salary.

If indeed you want to be financially independent, and live life to the fullest. Worry no more, you can join other people from different walks of life on my telegram channel Veenacademy. In there, you learn, and earn for free.

Helping hundreds of people to be financially independent is my goal this year.

Do yourself a favor, and join. The earlier, the better. Enjoy the rest of your day!🤗

I be jack of all trade and master of all.I come realise say having a skill is not the main Koko but having the capital to establish and start making money is the main Koko.
I don learn laptop repairs,phone repairs,internet setup.I even go driving school and I don process drivers licence twice.Na money I take do them but these skills require capital to set up.
