Many a times, there has always been a constant disagreement between working smart and working hard. One school of thought believes you should sweat before you earn a living, the other believes one doesn't need to exert much force on their work before they can earn so much.

My story is quite a funny one. I believe in the slogan "dignity in labour" and I never despise any effort or activity a man engages in to make a living for himself albeit legal.

So to my story. I had just left a job that paid me 50k and was out of job for a while in November to December 2019. Suddenly, this job vacancy came here on Nairaland at the beginning of the yuletide requesting for Accountants (not Chartered) for a one week bank reconciliation job, I sent a watsapp message and was given the address somewhere at Oyingbo.

Getting there, we were about 10 of us, some of us were already engaged somewhere, some weren't. We were briefed on the job and were told it involves doing some editing on the bank statement for easy transmission to their Sage 50 profile, numeration was pegged at 30k. Now, I became jittery, I knew no company would pay baby Accountants 30k for a one week job except the job load was very bulky.

We began, to my surprise the editing was a child's play on Excel. We were given about 1,000 edits to do per day from various banks, having swift hands, we were able to do about 350 per hour, in less than 4 hours we were done for the day. I couldn't believe it, in addition to that, we didn't have a particular time for resumption, some of us who had our pc took the following days work home and would resume d next day at 12pm. In addition to that we were given launch and eventually finished the work in 5 days excluding d weekend.

A 7 day job finished in 5 days with less hands to be paid 30k, with launch and free hands to work. I didn't believe we were going to be paid such, it was too good to be true, previous employers I had worked with would ensure you sweat for every Lobo but here I was chilling and working.

I finally believed when I received d alert d next day of 30k (I just dey smile like goat). The firm eventually requested 3 of is to man their branches at 60k per month. I wasn't interested, I felt a company that paid 30k per week could do better.

That's my story, what's yours?

Wow. I saw this same vacancy last year but work was super tight so I did not bother applying. Good to know someone did enjoy the opportunity.

It was my early days of trading binary options and volatility and I must say... I was really a novice.
I use to practice on a demo account those days and I had a friend who would sometimes borrow my laptop to trade on his live account.

On this fateful day, I traded on demo account as usual for fun, left the system while trade was ongoing and went to the kitchen to cook forgeting about the trade.

Some hours later, my friend came around and begged me for my laptop that was when I remembered the trade. I just told him to close my demo trades and go with the laptop to trade his. The next thing I heard was a loud scream!!!

I had mistakenly place my supposed demo trade on her live account and it was on about 2,000 plus profit.... well, we shared the money 50/50 no cheating.

Beautiful story. This is just to show you that pay does not depend on how tedious or dangerous a task is. I once charged N25K for a task that wouldn't take me more than 1 hour to do. It was a writing task, and I didn't even do it myself. I outsourced it for N5K to a popular Nairalander (A Female). On a different occasion, I got a call from a former NNPC Big Wig (Name withheld) to update His CV, which didn't take more than 15 minutes. After delivering, he asked me how much, and I told him to give me anything. To my surprise, the oga sent me 20K.

Very cool and refreshing story. Gifted hands, the type who roll double six dice, back to back on Ludo game.
And it seems you also got lucky fingers on your jack of all trades, business adventure.

Your silly mistake was a big hit, while some guys been sleeping in bet shops doing permutations and combinations, but las las one game will still cut their tickets.
This life no just balance.

mine was a couple of things put together from several ebooks i bought online about earning in dollars.

One of the books i bought on crypto earned me over $600 during lockdown this year.

Am currently selling the collection of money making ebooks i bought, as it has generated enough money for me...and i have moved on to bigger moves.

If you want the collection pack, message me on whatsapp: 07018085827

Wrote a speech for an AGM of a big conglomerate and was given 15k as a token. Speech took me just two days. Some talents and skills we take for granted mean a lot to others.
