The job paid me well, and i was able to save a substantial sum of money in five months before being fired last week by my boss, i was double crossed by a co worker and my boss replaced me with him, he got what he wanted but thats not my problem, i already got what i wanted. My problem now is what to do with the money i was able to save.

I have skills i am eager to put to good use but i don't know if it'll bring results, I'm good with website creation, graphics, writting and a bit of programming, so i was thinking of getting myself a costly laptop capable of handling everything and hone my skills/passion, delve into fiverr and freelancing, then start a gaming blog, the first of its kind because I'm a game addict. Is there a way can succeed with this plans?

Get a midrange laptop first. You don’t need the highest end laptop for coding and web development.

Kill the gaming blog idea. It won’t pay, and it’s not really the first of its kind in Naija. You just think this because all the others suffered untimely deaths.

Put more effort into self- development. You need to buff up your limited coding skills. Probably look into getting a cheap Mac if you’re interested in iOS app development. Go to Udemy and grab some learning courses at $10 each.

Good luck!

Perfect ur current skills and see how to apply them and also get more relevant and lucrative skills and add to them. Don't use ur limited money to gamble into smtn totally new that has not been tested to be lucrative yet. I mean ur game blogging site etc... do dat when u hv change to spare.

You can do anything want. Just make sure you're absolutely ready and dedicated to it. And then don't be in a haste to see results. Give yourself time to garner experience which can only be gotten from consistent pursuit of whatever you're involved in. Don't forget prudence and discipline.

Re: I Recently Lost My High Paying Job And I'm At A Crossroads On What To Do Next by aspirebig: 8:35am On Jul 11, 2018
All i read here is vague.

That so called " huge" amount of money could be small relatively.

Set achievable goal and be specific, focused and give yourself time .After that, evaluate yourself and see what you done and what you have not.

Good luck.

Yes, there are many things you can do that will also fetch you good and huge money higher than the one you are being paid.

I read you mentioned fiverr, I am into fiverr and made well over two million within 4 months.

There are lots of platforms that can pay you handsomely very well but i will like us to chat for more details..

As a worker in any private firm in naija, it is an error to think you have job security.
Dont spend anyhow, collect ur salary from them and be in a hurry to build sometin that will last for a very long time after ur job.
Be wise

Op if you love playing games and want to start a gaming blog, by all means do. Ignore people that are telling you to kill the idea. Set up a YouTube channel along with it. Upload videos of your very good gameplays. Video games gameplay have very high views on YouTube. In no time, you'll be earning from it if you are consistent and hardworking. There are very few (if any at all) Nigerian gaming blogs. This is an untapped arena because there are a lot of gamers in Nigeria.

Don't do gambling and later come here to cry.
Correct, I think he just need to put all these skills into use one after the other by firstly implement one skill, see the progress of that one for some months with taking all the necessary measures and the assessment and the final results on that first business may be a pointer to move on to the implementation of the second, third skills.

Hi. Since you are a game freak, you can invest in a good enough but not too expensive laptop and a keypad controller. Also get a good enough video camera and tripod stand as well as a lavalier mic for audio. Start a youtube channel and just explore, play and have fun with your audience. On the side, you could also improve your programming skills for freelancing on fiverr later. Popular learning sites include: Codecademy, FreeCodeCamp and Udacity. You could start with html>css>python>javascript>java>SQL and so on. just try and make use of the time you've got. Enjoy!
