I was slightly above 21 when I made my first million from side hustles & trading bitcoins and Giftcards . God bless @Justi4Jesu who contacted me and added me to her WhatsApp Ecurrency group. Everything changed so fast after that, Met lots of great people on there.. I’m on the way to my 10th milli lol.. Glory be to God

P/S First 1 million is always the hardest to earn and keep, the rest millions are the easiest wink
Please I'd like to email/pm you, i would like to have a mentor with your experience.

19 although am broke asf right now, am 23.

mine was multiple millions I made it from bitcoin, software and domain names.

one guy from nairaland here introduced me to bitcoin back then (for free ) he was giving one eBook like that.

I learned a few thing from his book,but being the mad man that I was, I discovered a way to tipple my result and boom I was raking in bitcoin like craze.

then I hooked up with this Chinese girl on Facebook we started swaping ideas before you know it I had about 20 bitcoin. at then one bitcoin was about 200$ then some crazy sh** happend bitcoin went from 200$ to about 1000$.

I cashed out. dude, I was fucking rich. but as you already know 19years and millions are not a healthy combination.

I basically thought I was the next bill gate. it funny how success leads to success then to more success, then to a huge failure. me and my best friends, we were living lavish.

again some one from this same nairaland sold an eBook about domain name buying and selling to me.

I started trying to buy domain name, but wasn't making much (like 500$ per month) 500$ didn't mean much to me back then.

then I stumbled upon this white guy, he was also a domain name trader, he was teaching people how to buy and sell domain and software on flippa. although his course was expensive about 800$ I bought it, then I also bought a 1000$ course on digital marketing. after the taking those courses I lunched out on my own, I bought a bunch of domain names and about 4 softwares.

most of the domain name didn't sell well some didn't sell atall but 3 sold for a wopping some of 15000$ combined.

it is funny how lots of people say money can't change them I was one of those guys. but trust me after this second win, I was sure I was going to be up there with mark zuckarburg some day.

then something crazy happened, one of my 4 software gained like 3million active users. turned out the original owner of the software was from isereal, and his research was on point, isreali market really needed the software, but the guy was marketing and trying to monitize it the wrong way.

by accident I got it just right the software began marketing it self and before you know it a giant iseareli company asked me to sell it to them.

being young and dumb I didn't know how to monitize it so when I saw who was willing to pay, bam I sold it. I made a mistake though, I should have let them name a price or at least named an unrealistic price but silly me I asked for what I thought was a fair price 100000$.

they did what every good business men would do they bargained for a lower price 70k$.

I agreed bam this time even GOD couldn't stop me I was mega rich.

but like what my mentors always say when there is to much supply of money, it begins to flow to unnecessary places. I blew all the money, although most were on other ventures that later failed.

yea I spent good money on lavish lifestyle , but I wasn't that stupid, most of my money actually went into other businesses and investment but I was young and stupid so I paid for it .

I walked away with lot of experiential knowledge. at this point in my life I am trying to gain momentum again and GOD know that when I do, I'm never stopping, I'm not saying I have learned everything there is to learn, I'm saying that i have learned to do less stupid things than most people and I still think am going to be up there with the big boys although I don't want to be famous like them I don't want to be on any list.

26, through fashion design.

I was so happy. Jonathan's Regime, was so good. I made so much money and people had to spend as well. It was a great Regime for me.

So true, Jonathan's regime was the best. Graduated @ 21, searched for non exiting job for four years yet no luck. @ 26 made my first milla via sports bet. I was among the first to venture into the biz in 2014 before its saturation, it was so profiting that i kept saving 200k monthly after expenses.

I got more outlets totaling 6. Profit kept skyrocketing not till this present regime of useless fools in government that made so many wrong economic decisions. With so many factors going against the biz like fuel moving from N65 to N145, my outlets started packing up one after the other.

Seems the average age is between 24-26yrs. I made mine at 26, well, it was via gambling, plus little importation business(laptops) and domain flipping. The funny thing is I learnt everything from Nairaland.
nairaland is an unforgettable blessing to many people, especially me. Please, can domain flipping be done through smart phone?

You no go just see those Romance section guys on this thread. Them no get work or hustle?

Anyway, I will say 23+...
Got the famous 6digit paying job, had some allowances and intangible benefits, living in a family house, parents who didn't ask me for anything except if I decided to spend. I am not a flexing or flamboyant person, so I didn't have a reason not to save.

I dream about the proposed pay/benefits of my new job and smile to myself. I am my father's daughter.

I'm present. Hunty, please leave us alone. Can't comment without throwing shades at us?

Well, I made my first milla indirectly sort of. I had up to 5 juicy scholarships while in school, which totalled up to 750k per annum.

I didn't really depend so much on the cash though so I had much of it saved away in my accounts.

After about 3 consecutive years in school, I had a net balance of a mill plus.

I guess I got paid for studying. smiley
can you mention some of the scholarships

I can put you through. I trade forex, affiliate and digital marketing, drop shipping and mini importation and a few others. All these businesses have a high learning curve or either take a long time to start yielding incomes. They require that you have another source of income while you learn. If youre still interested after knowing that it's not a get rich quick scheme, indicate below and we can get started.
im interested sir, pls wats next
