1 & 2. Speaking of digital marketing i was able to pull out $600 from my first info product to the American market sold on click bank last year. Amazing feeling, my only regret was that i blew that money fast. I created a website selling ebook, videos, and used affiliates to pull in the traffic. After making that cash I sold the website on flippa for another $70.
I am even thinking of holding a free seminar on whatsapp i call cellinar... cos na for cell phone we go do the seminar.
Anytime soon sha.... I just need people to show their interest.


2. The programming thing is a cool one. I just realized one of the top paying jobs in the world is related to softwares and it is the hottest job with vacancies. But e take style dey fear me... All that coding.

Anyway i applied to learn online from a foremost online learning platform FREE despite the cost is about 6k to 15k monthly.

Pluralsight.com


4. Agriculture is somehow a source of life but many don't know it. Its just that people dont want to be involved in that hard work associated with farming. A cousin of mine who is a graduate actually turned out to be a farmer and everyone in the family was like but this is an amazing business if u have plenty land with people working there. You no say u no go ever lack food for life. Speaking of which sef e be like say i go call my uncle to give me my land for village make i turn am to plantain Plantation cos i like dodo die.

5. Blogging? that one no dey pay wella again unless u have tey in the game grow white hair join. No look linda ikeji o unless u go loss. Unless u just wanna do it for fun while u have a stable income somewhere. Thats y i sold off my site with adsense lately.
Some Nairalanders were even chatting me up this morning asking about it and how i take get adsense approved sharp sharp. Na small tin, if u know d way.


If anyone needs help with anything i just mentioned above... Hala at me via whatsapp 08174223203

We can add if from a humble background

The major craze in this clime and time is social media ,e-retailers and othr great things on the world wide web. So first thing:

1 LEARN HOW TO BE A DIGITAL MARKETER:

Who is that: someone that understands e-mail marketing,social media advertising, search engine optimization,google analytics and a fairly good idea abt web designs. In short the guy that can help u get buzz on ur product or service offered online.


Information to be this person is all online and as it is.. we all live online anyway;so any youth can turn that wasted time into a gold mine.

This is a skill corporates re willing 2 pay correct money 4. Brick and mortar company trying to figure out ways to have a big presence online and have a return on investment on money spent online.


2 LEARN TO BE AN AFFILIATE MARKETER:

With the inroad jumia,konga,deal dey etc have made,this is a viable way of trying to earn some dough.

This could take some time-6 months to 1 year to get the hang of it and start profiting.
The input for these is time and propably money for a domain name: 30$.

3. LEARN TO BE A PROGRAMMER :

A damn good programmer won't starve. Like with all skill set,it takes good time to be a bad ass one. All u need is just the 'can do spirit',a mind that is ready to learn- open minded- and make sure it is what u want. If working the back-end seems too much u can learn designing a user interface xml(uix).

We now have schools whereby they re ready to pay you while learning to be a better programmer: Andela . Though the barrier of entry is quite high.

A good programmer can go on to be anything he wants to be; think about the googles,oracles,microsoft,apple,facebook,nairaland e.t.c .

The whole world is your oyster: u can venture into any fields and try to disrupt it by creating unique solutions to myriads of problem in Nigeria.

U might want to look up this start-ups : paystack, hotels.ng, kangpe doctors, andela, prepclass, traclist, flutterwave, drinks.ng, paga and many more. They are all trying to solve problems with technology and monetizing it .

really hope I get to programme 2 some extent one day .

4 Agriculture

This is the big Elephant in the room. We need cheaper tomatoes,bags of rice are expensive,yam is expensive,even sweet potato is now costly ,garri is not that accesible to the poor man anymore; Without mentioning addendums : small eggs,xpensive fish and meat; though u can have a meal without these anyway.


All these points to one thing : scarcity. We import almost everything,youths re in urban centres looking for white collar jobs with funny certificates.

About time to choose a field in agriculture and be a specialist in it :from the quick wins(low hanging fruits) of fish farming to snail rearing,poultry farming ,pig farming ,best ways of growing subsistence crops - defer cash crops technique till later

Find something to do across the value chain of agric: learn how to harvest rice-operating the thresher, processing-handling the mill, storage-learn abt how to go about storing cereals in silos.

Be a specialist and try to find ways of marketing these skills,even if it involves going to co-operative farmers in your village.

One thing is sure, a 21st century farmer will not go hungry.


5 Blogging

Everybody is a blogger nowadays,but trust me there is still room for curation of quality contents on your blog.

Find a great niche that is interesting to you and write or find great stories around it. Curating good contents is not easy neither is creating it,reason why a lot of blogs takes the easy way out and lifts off stories off one another.

The downside to these is that it is a thankless job,and for a hungry man,the incubation period-using linda as an example:4-5 years - b4 it can be monetized might just be too long. You can add to that : finding keywords that would drive traffic to your blog, might involve a jobless man finding dollars for facebook,twitter,instagram,google ads .

But in all these u become a better person and an authority in that field and u never know who or when the expertise would be needed.

A rich kid would easily crack blogging than a jobless dude. These bring me to jobs that would work well for a jobless dude with buffer: photography-those cameras re quite expensive, same thing with being a dj-ask dj cuppy(otedola),xclusive (alakija) ,obi (ajuonuma) ,case ( dehinde fernandez grandson). U can try cracking being a chef. All these skills re in high demand.

A jobless dude won't be able to afford money 4 studio sessions,or the xpenses for transportation and looking good for an audition: hazards of trying to be an entertainer.

This list is not exhaustive,about time we stop mopping about lack of jobs and find something for our hands to do. God bless.

The op as well as you is right then. You won.

charix:
Fail.
'Was' is singular while 'were' is the plural form. The OP is correct.
