It is no longer news that there is no job in Nigeria. Everyday, we wake up to hear how some companies are downsizing their staffs, and it becomes expedient to consider other ways of not depending on this economy.
While I was an undergraduate, I normally hear that some persons are happy when the price of dollar is on the increase, I just came to see the reason and permit me to say that, I enjoy it when i can exchange dollar for a high naira value. In this little post, i will talk about the things every graduate should consider doing instead of looking for work that is not available.

Freelance writing
A lot have been said on this topic and nothing can explain it enough. This is basically something that can bring up to six digit income into your account. You can either visit fiverr, upwork, or iwriter.com and register. You need no skill to do this work and it is paying well. I have written for someone who collects $100 for 3000 words article on fiverr. That guy makes more than a million every month. so instead of looking for secondary schools where you can teach and collect N3000/month, try to develop yourself in this area. The truth is that the cyber space can accommodate all of us, as many as are lady to make money legitimately online. Are you waiting for service, or did you just finished serving? then stop looking for work, get your laptop, there are lots of work to do.

The fact that you need no income to start this business makes it more interesting. You don't need an office, you don't need to pay for someone to prepare a nice CV for you, and you don't need to stand before those wicked HR managers to ask you questions they can't even answer just to get a job. All you need is a laptop and an mb and your office is already online. But if you are used to submitting your CV online and waiting to be a victim of GNLD and other companies, then we will be waiting to hear your experience someday

Graphic Design
Have you noticed that they is a wedding every weekend, seminars and church programs are done on daily basis. Some companies need logos, letter heads, banners and the rest. These are done by graphics designers. If this recession is to continue, i bet you, graphics designers will never go hungry. So instead of going around asking gate men of different companies if those companies have started collecting CVs, sit yourself down, download U-tube videos and get yourself ready to make money. Graphics designer will continue paying till the end of the world, and happy are those who are constantly being blessed through graphics. I am a photoshoper though this days, i do a lot of freelance writing, but whichever work comes through, I will do it and get the money. As a graduate, acquiring skills would be the best thing you need. That laptop you used during your project, it is not time to use it to make money. Whether you came out with first class or second calss upper, lower or even second class deeper, this work is for you. And i guarantee you enough money through it.

Affiliate Marketing
Well, you can contact importexpert to give you a clue on this. Trust me when i tell you that it gives money. Affiliate marketing is nothing than helping to create awareness for a product and earning money when that product is bought through you. If you plan or learn this very well, you will position yourself in a way that you don't need to work to make money. you can get the affiliate jagaban from importexpert and read your way out of recession. Instead of learning tailoring, bead making, or cake that almost everyone can now do, spend your time learning how to do affiliate marketing and get paid for life.

SEO
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. So many bloggers wants to get their sites to rank among the top 20 in the world, if you can sit down and learn this skill, i bet you, you will always be smiling as dollar goes up. I have a secondary school class mate who caught the vision before me, and now, that guy is making lots of money. The other day, he told me that he made N72000 in two days and even boasted to me on how he rejected konga offer of 150000/month and a comfortable accommodation. The boy is on money and this is someone who just finished serving last year, he is now a millionaire. Check it out, ask for questions and learn this. You don't need to be a computer science graduate to do this work, that my friend is a geologist and he can pay more than 10 computer science graduate. What are you waiting for, the time is now and you should start doing something

Traffic
Well, so many people do not know about this, but it is a way which so may Nigerians are making money on daily basis. Some persons can push traffic to your site, help you get adsense approval. Though some have posits that these traffic is fake, well, i do not know, all i know is that if you are into that business then you will be making money. Some clients don't care, all they need is to see that about 50000 persons visited their site. Do you know someone who is into it? if you do, then the Lord is calling you now, do not waste that time again.


Digital Email Marketing
If you are observant enough you would notice that email format have changed. I learnt this email marketing through a friend using mail chimp, and it has been rewarding to say the least. So many banks employ the use of digital email marketing in designing their email formats, YALI network even use it. In foreign country, this email format is used everywhere and very soon, Nigerians will catch the vision. If i were you, i will start looking for a way to learn this skill and start selling yourself. There are a lot of space for all of us. stop depending on Nigerian economy. stop wasting that time on Instagram, twitter and Facebook doing nothing meaningful. learn this skills and you will be glad you did.


Summary
Very soon, HR managers will start looking for skills such as freelancers, SEO, Affiliate Marketers, digital email marketers etc. This is the way the world is moving, update yourself. let us fill the cyber space. Happy Sunday [dedicated to POCOHANTAS].

bro that was super cool.. more grease to ur elbows. a word is enough for the Wise

Nedu31:
interesting topic though I'm scared of online business because of my "brothers".

You do not need to be afraid of anyone. Once you trust yourself, you can trust others. Atleast you can get trusted people online. Most of the people you would be dealing with are foreigners.

dominique, FOD, puskin, naijacutee, please do the needful

welcome. waiting for seun and lalasticlala to do their work if they wish to

Thanks for the post. It was great. This is what I always tell my fellow Corpers when I was serving. They think I was speaking Swahili.

I made my first hundreds of thousand while freelancing as a Corper. And I thank God for making me catch the vision on time.

Freelancing is the Western way of life. It's high time we all embraced it.

I know some people will avoid this like a plague. The OP said the truth in a simple way.
Earning little I can on freelance graphic, wanna enter affiliate marketing soon.

The problem with freelance writing on these sites is that you have to establish yourself first I.e reviews ,ranks and all sorts.

without this,its really tough. Even with dedication, you need luck because its a really competitive market and people prefer to hire experienced hands for the same price as opposed to newbies.

The guys that outsource on nairaland are usually slave drivers and you can't blame them.

what advice do you have for breaking into the market with little capital?

That is the truth. To make it as a beginner is always tough. With 10k, you can get five review and still retain 8k which you can withdraw anytime you want. So buying review is another way
