okay and you think Ai can not do it I don't think someone can make money from this

AI can do it, but workflow automation is not the same thing as AI.

Workflow automation just connects apps so they work for you automatically.

For example, when someone fills a Google Form, it can auto-send an email via Gmail, save the data in Google Sheets, notify a team on Slack, and even create a task in Notion. when intelligent decisions are required, AI can be added so it can read content, make smart decisions, and choose the best action on its own.

Freelancing in what precisely?

This year I’ve decided to learn UI/UX design.

learn the full website design from sitemap to publishing the website. Not only UI/UX.

Clients now want one person to know everything.

OK learn domain trading business where you buy a domain for a cheap price... Less than $10 go elsewhere and resell above $200, $500. Yes irs a skill and yiu can do it for a living as I currently do. One of my highest sales so far is $3K... Goldsberg.com. Registered it for $9 and later resold it $3K at afternic.

Check this free awareness thread https://www.nairaland.com/3430037/what-make-money-online

Or Google how to make money with expired domain names.

Many skills can make you money if you know your way around it; however, you need to learn the following if you are from a third-nation like Naija so as to have an edge:

1. Generative AI
2. Machine Learning Engineering
3. Predictive Analytics (Data Science, Business & Marketing analytics)....Data engineering.

The three above specialties are what I believe we should go into in 2026. Generative AI is booming seriously, but quite a tough one. It may take you like 2 years or more to get there. But you can master foundational skills for AI within a year and goy will get job as a data analyst or maybe as a junior ML.

If you are smart, you can pick it up and within 1 year get a low paying job which is huge in naira. Save bro/sis and keep learning. What Next? Japa!!!! UK skilled visa....or whatever. Or get into a digital company and work for 3 years and japa to UK as a global talent applicant, or skilled stuff. Or even via student if you can easily get UK school fees from your job.

The one I know is ever gree and you will NEVER lack in your life is trading. Learn how to trade. If you can perfect this, just forget it.....you are for ever made.

As for me, I don't tell people to learn apps or software that can easily be replaced by another disruptive tech created by AI. So, why don't you just learn AI and keep upgrading yourself. You will never be pushed out if you go into it. Some years back na salesforce and bla bla bla a dey hear. The boom isn't like before. And give it 5 years, it may just be there, or can still be used ...but many will be able to use it like MSWord that it will be hard to make good money with it. Just my thought. So, the automation recommendation here using software and apps to me is just a fluke. E go die later...but if you can learn now and make good money to do something before e knock.....why not?

Best of luck.

FX, no new skill needed, Ai will dribble people a lot, by the time everybody learn how to use Ai, nobody will be working for anybody again which means many Ai users will be jobless. When it come to Forex trading,if you use Ai to create strategy that's very much profitable, brokers Will block it, then you will still go back to manual trading

There are soft and hard digital skills to learn.

But if you are looking for simple ways to make money then learn AI content creation and automation

That is skill useful in yesterday. AI design my website, business card and logo under one minute for $65.

The speed at which AI has dominated the graphic design space is actually insane. To be honest, the excitement I had while learning it has faded because the landscape has changed so much. I’m currently back at the drawing board, scouting for another digital skill that offers more long-term security.

There is none for now, you just have to keep evolving everyday.

Best advice is learn to sell online. Be it digital marketing, affiliate marketing , e-commerce or CPA marketing .
With these, you will not look for anyone to employ you or give you a job. Your success or progress will be dependent on you.

REALITY CHECK (THIS WILL CALM YOU)
Ask yourself honestly:
If a salon owner in Lagos:
is busy
is stressed
is losing customers
Do you think they want to:
A) learn Ai this

B) figure out design + automation

C) or pay someone ₦50k to “just handle it”?

Exactly.

It's definitely a bit discouraging. This year, my focus is shifting toward either AI video creation for YouTube or diving into coding—that’s the roadmap for 2026. My main challenge right now is finding a solid mentor. I’ve realized I don't learn well by just aimlessly scrolling through YouTube tutorials; I really need a structured, step-by-step curriculum to stay on track.

Demetrix:
Dear Nairalanders, what digital skill can one switch to that is in high demand?

I'm ready to teach interested persons Opera PMS software free of charge

Hi

I made over $5k from video editing last year!

AI will evolve around so many skills including editing, I'm sharpening my skills around project centered contents for brands websites and applications while learning AI Integrations for these kind of businesses.

Here are some skills that can make you $10k/mo if you can lock in for the next 3 months

1. Workflow Automation
2. YouTube Automation
3. Prop firm Trading
4. Video editing and
5. Sales

Pick 1 or 2 skills, source for materials and disappear for the next 6 months

You're very correct. I believe the term "Digital skills" has seen it demise because the AI perform such taks with ease, better and that has changed everything for real. Profession like programming, tech support, design etc will continue to see a sharp decline due to how efficiently AI can do such jobs while blue collar jobs will see increase in demand for their skills cos AI can't fix cars, do plumbing or replace a roof. I can tell you my friend had applied to over 100 jobs as tech support/account manager and yet to land a single interview. I was listening to Ivy league school in California saying their students in IT degrees are finding it difficult to land a gig due to mass investment of companies in AI. This is an opportunities for smart people to see opportunities and invest in themselves that continue to acquire skills that is going obsolete by the day.

Sorry.. next time if you must pay then go to Coursera for quality certification otherwise you should leverage free online resources and platforms like YouTube

Every digital skill is worth learning.

What about Data science and analysis

Miramonica:
We know smart people by them googling about things and not asking what it means here. Someone mentioned workflow automation...instead of asking him what it is, I immediately googled it and found out.

This 2026, make it a duty to conduct research.

Please I'm not targeting anyone oo.


That being Said, I will advice anyone serious to upgrade his or her life to learn a digital skill and Hussle on Upwork. There's money in that freelancing platform.

God bless us all.

Thanks for this. This is my plan since last month. Already learning video editing to add up. You do upwork?
