But why should you try to make money from home in Nigeria?

Well, the year 2020 has been one year people won’t forget in a hurry, a lot of deaths, the economic collapse of nations, mass lay-offs from the big firms, and lots of worry for people. About 22 million people lose their jobs in the United States of America (USA) and many people in Nigeria are automatically jobless and some are dying in hunger.

How to Make Money from Home in Nigeria (2020)

1. Freelancing

You’ve probably heard or read about this somewhere, but I’ll still say it; it’s the best way to improve your financial life, and you can do this without any form of boundaries. 

Personally, I’ve earned a lot of money from freelancing and it is my number one source of income.

It saddens me to know that many Nigerians with profitable skill don’t get to make as much money as they should, people pay huge bucks for these skills on various freelancing platforms and some Nigerians make between four to six figures monthly via freelancing, it’s even a full-time job for some.

You don’t need to get an office, all you need is a good computer with a strong internet connection and you’re good to make money from home in Nigeria.

If you’ve got any skill (especially digital), then waste no time in registering on freelancing platforms – there are lots of them out there; Fiverr and Upwork are some of the most popular ones.

2. Graphics design

This is one of the most in-demand skills in the country today, if you’re good at this, you can make a good amount of money online in Nigeria currently.

These days, you find out that pictures are more visually appealing and receive lots of reactions than plain text, many firms, and freelancing platforms require the services of one who could create stunning, eye-catching graphics that will appeal to their various audience, this creates lots of opportunities for graphics designers out there.

Basically, you need a good laptop for this and the skill, even if you don’t have the skill there are more than enough mediums to learn online, once you’ve gotten to a certain level of proficiency, you could start applying for jobs and start making money from home in Nigeria.

3. Crypto trading

I must say that cryptocurrency trading is a very profitable business that doesn’t require much, but it comes with its own risks. 

As we seek out better ways of making payments, financing contracts and more, crypto is greatly gaining acceptance by merchants and financial institutions worldwide, this implies more ease of doing business with the ability to pay for any product, anywhere in the world.

Asides being a means of payment, crypto at the moment is one big gold mine and miners around the world are constantly drilling its treasures. One of the best ways to make money via cryptocurrency is through trading – with this you can make a good amount of money in Nigeria.

4. Forex trading

Still on trading, although with a different kind of money – the real money! Forex or foreign exchange has been a viable means of income for quite some years now and the possibilities are just limitless.

Today, you don’t need much requirements to trade, just your smartphone, internet connection, and your brain. It’s even easier to learn the ropes of this business as more and more online courses keep dropping every day on how to trade better. 

There are numerous platforms and apps (both Android and iOS) that you could utilize when trading, some even give you a demo account with some money in it so as to practice better ways of trading. It’s a pretty lucrative business once you master the art, and you can!

5. Content Writing

We all know how to write, from the less educated to erudite among us – at least to an extent. Content writing is quite different from actual writing and requires a lot to be mastered which could take some time to learn.

The ability to convey a message, capturing the hearts of the readers, via writing is one good characteristic of a good content writer. There are lots of cooperations out there wishing to pay you for this skill, as a freelancer, you can also make some money in Nigeria via content writing.

This skill requires a lot to learn, patience, and practice are some of the good ingredients that’ll make you a much better writer.

One way to level up your writing skill is to start writing on forums, creating a guest post on blogs and writing on social media platforms, this will boost your confidence and you could begin earning some bucks in the near future.

You may want to ask that;

How much does freelance writers earn in Nigeria?

Their’s no limit to what you can earn as a freelance writer in Nigeria. But your earning per each content depends on the agreement between you and your client. Some are earning 7-figures from writing.

But here is a gospel truth, as a startup freelance writer, you can’t earn up to 7-figures yet. Before you can be able to earn up that, you’ll need to gradually build your reputation and connect with people through pitching.

6. Affiliate Marketing

An affiliate program can let you make money from home in Nigeria by helping brands to promote their products, you get some percentage when a customer purchases a product or service via your affiliate link.

You’d need to look for brands with the best commission rate as some brands pay better than others, once you’ve got this, you could start posting your links on your social handles and watch your credit grow.

This is one of the easiest ways to make money at home in Nigeria, it requires no skill, no capital required to start up, just get registered and get started. Most tops brands include affiliate services for their customers and you can get some cash by jumping in on this.

7. Online Tutoring or Training

In our world today, more people are getting to learn online and online tutors get to make some money from home, you too can be one of them. 

If you know a thing good enough, if you’re a pro at your craft, then you might want to impact your knowledge on other people seeking to learn. It’s just getting to record a video/audio of you explaining concepts while making money from the comfort of your home.

Before you venture into this, you need to be well equipped intellectually in whatever field you choose to cover, making sure also that you employ the use of up to date information. A good place to start your online tutorial journey is on Udemy, but there are other platforms to explore too.

If you need to train people and earn money quickly, you can use a closed WhatsApp group.

But most people are expecting great results by sharing their links on WhatsApp status and Facebook, this is not going to work!

To get more students to enroll in your training, you need to run paid ads on social media. You can read more about this on Google.

8. YouTube

YouTube is a hub of information, entertainment, and learning, it’s one of the best platforms on the internet where you could get any information for free. 

Asides these benefits, many content creators make a living with YouTube, many Nigerians are getting richer on YouTube and you can also make money from home in Nigeria as a Youtuber.

To get started, ensure you have a good digital camera or a smartphone with a pretty good camera, your chosen field, and good internet. Once you’ve got these, you are well on your way to increased finances.

9. Dropshipping

This is pretty new, it’s a form of e-Commerce that allows you to own and run your online store from the comfort of your home. 

We all love to get things done quickly, and the way we shop in the current world is getting much easier. With just a few clicks, you can get that dress delivered to you, purchase a new wristwatch, upgrade your electronics, or even get those little utility products which makes life easier.

With dropshipping, you can make all these possible for consumers and make money from it. You don’t need to have a physical space, but a virtual space (to host your site), hot-selling products and you could begin making money. 

To make money from home in Nigeria through dropshipping, you will need to learn how it works and how to get started. You can check this article on how to start a dropshipping business in Nigeria.

10. Survey sites

Another good way to make money from home in Nigeria is through online survey sites. 

These sites give you an opportunity to make some money while giving your opinion on certain products, services, or just general feedback. These platforms value your opinion as it’s critical to the growth of their business and as such they pay you for this.

You don’t need any skill to be able to make some cash via this medium and I’d say it’s the most easiest way to earn money from home, but there’s a catch; surveys are not always available and so this limit how much you can earn. 

Check here: Best High-paying survey sites in Nigeria

11. Website development/design

Creating and designing websites pays quite a lot, this is a very viable skill even though its industry is saturated with a lot of inadequate developers and designers.

It’s been said that anything worth doing is worth doing well, this is one major factor that would set you apart from the rest of the bunch in a much-saturated market. The better you are at your craft, the more money you can earn.

This is a career for most Nigerians, there are also agencies dedicated solely to this field and you too can get to be among those making it in this field. A good laptop, and the skill – which you could easily learn online is a pretty good way to start.

12. Create an app

This skill is a very lucrative one but requires a lot to pull off, mostly intellectual. There’s an app for anything you want to do on the internet, but there are still some apps people need, and we need someone to create that for us.

Since smartphone users can’t create the apps they use, you could create something that solves a problem, games, or apps which increases productivity. You don’t necessarily have to redefine the wheel, you could make modifications to an app that currently lacks some features.

To get started, you have to learn about mobile app development (Android or iOS), have a good laptop, and ultimately the ability to solve problems creatively. The requirements may seem overwhelming, but you could take it one step at a time so as not to get frustrated, in the end, you wouldn’t regret it.

13. Social Media Influencing

Your social media profiles shouldn’t just be for photos, videos, talking about the latest trends or celebrity gossips, you can definitely make money on social media as an Influencer. 

If you’ve got a huge follower base, if you get a lot of reactions from your followers, then this opportunity is for you. Many Nigerian Influencers make good money with their social media profiles.

As an Influencer, top brands reach out to you to promote their brand, you get paid when you post their products/services on their social media profiles. If you don’t have lots of followers, you can start building up so as to avail yourself of the opportunity to earn. 

One of the best ways to become a social media influencer in Nigeria is to start Instagram comedy or skits. You can see that most people who are engaged in this business and they’re making money a lot. You don’t need to be funny, you just need to be creative!

I wrote a book of more than 4,000 words about how anybody can become a successful Instagram comedian in Nigeria. The book costs N5,000 but I’m currently selling at the rate of N1,500 only before the end of this month. If you’re interested in buying the book, Contact me on WhatsApp via 080 6886 6068

14. Social Media Manager

There exist quite some ways to earn on social media, and being a manager is one of those. 

This job requires you to post engaging and creative content all in a bid to promote the brand. This is a big earning opportunity which you should take advantage of, and soon enough, the alerts will start dropping.

You have the opportunity to work remotely with some brands, although some top brands would like you to work directly from their office. There are lots of courses on Udemy, Skillshare, and YouTube which would walk you through the nitty-gritty of this field if you choose to venture into it.

You can make money from home in Nigeria as a social media manager by using gigs on freelancing platforms or by reaching out to business owners in Nigeria.

15. Selling Photos Online

Photography is one of the top-paying vocational skills in Nigeria but here, I don’t mean photography in the actual sense as we all know, but photography where you could sell your photos.

If you take good photos, you could make some money by selling photos on platforms like FOAP, and you can do this from home. 

There’s only one skill required here, good photography prowess – that’s all you’ll be needing!

16. Voice Overs

If you’ve got a good male or female voice, and a clear pitch you could start making money with just your voice – interesting right?

Your voice would be used for voice-overs and commercials which definitely pays a lot. Many firms out there are on the lookout for you, just record your voice and make money.

You can get hired through freelancing platforms as well.

17. Blogging

Blogging is one of the traditional ways to make money from home in Nigeria, many bloggers in Nigeria are making some good bucks via their blogs. Making money from home in Nigeria is very possible when you have a blog. 

It’s very easy to start blogging; pick a niche (especially what you have passion for), get a good tablet or laptop, create your site, learn how to write, and you will be good to go. 

You could also take online courses to help you improve your blogging career.

18. Create and Sell e-books

Many of us have ideas which could improve the lives of people around us, we have stories which could inspire someone out there to become better, we sometimes think of getting to write a book but when we consider the time, effort and resources required to write a book, we just call it off. 

With e-books, you don’t really need much resources, just write, publish, and start making money. 

They are lots of publishing platforms out there – Amazon Kindle is one good option and you should utilize it. You can also sell your eBook on social media but with paid ads.

19. Data Entry Jobs

Companies around the world deal with a lot of data from customers and other sources, sometimes it’s difficult to organize these data, and hence they look to freelancers to help with the tasks. 

This is a simple job you could do on your smartphone and start getting paid. Two of the best platforms you can get started are; Clickworker and Smart Crowd.

20. Real Estate Marketing

Real estate investment is one of the most lucrative business in Nigeria and anywhere in the world. But these people involved in real estate investments need some people to help them market their properties and they pay commissions according to whatever you help them sell.

You can make a N500,000 from selling a property! But you will need to market the property until you finally land a client and you close the sale.

You don’t need an office, all you need is to find a real estate company that accepts agents and you’re good to make money from home in Nigeria.

In the future, I will be talking about making money as a real estate agent or marketer and top real estate companies you can partner with. For now, you can search on Google to get the best one to start with.

Hawkit.ng Review – How to Make Money on Hawkit.ng (Earn up to N36k!)

Published

on

Hawkit.ng is the latest platform to make money online in Nigeria. No doubt, at least you have seen someone post about it either on Facebook or your WhatsApp status.

We are in Nigeria where people are so eager to make money, of course, due to how poor the country is. Everybody is trying to survive.

But also, due to this, some people have become a victim of scams, especially on platforms like Hawkit.ng.

You know about NNU Income, a platform that claimed to help people make money online platform that carries people’s money into “vanishing”. And a lot of apps and websites like that.

But let’s talk about Hawkit.ng.

What is Hawkit.ng?

Hawkit.ng is an eCommerce platform that offers a more convenient way for people to sell and advertise their products, and for consumers to buy items below market prices.

You can buy almost any commodities including cars, shoes, clothes, yam, data subscription, hire an artisan, etc.

Maybe Hawkit.ng would be best described as a “classified ads” website like Jiji.ng or Craiglist.

But wait;

Hawkit.ng is not really a “money-making platform” but, an “eCommerce platform”.

In fact, when Hawkit.ng was originally launched, it focused only on eCommerce (selling, advertising, and buying stuff). 

It was later the platform decided to add money-making features, at least to get people along as big platforms like Jumia and Konga are already dominating the eCommerce industry in Nigeria.

That means transactions are actually taking place there, it’s not like a platform where you only need to register and start referring people to register too. If they don’t register someone, then you have nothing to gain.

Now that the platform has added features for people to make money, can it be trusted? That brings us to the question;

How Does Hawkit.ng Work?

  • Buying & selling of “Anything”: If you sell stuff, you can list and advertise them on Hawkit, then people who are interested will buy from you
  • Buying & Reselling Data plan: As described earlier, you can buy stuff below the market price. The same thing applies to data plans, you can buy at a lower price on Hawkit.ng and sell at a normal price to people
  • Boost Your Social Media Accounts: Instead of doing “follow-for-follow” or using bots to engage with your social media accounts, you can pay a fee on Hawkit.ng and they’ll bring you real and organic engagement
  • Perform Tasks to Earn Money: The first 3 mentioned above are the core reason for having a platform like Hawkit.ng in the first place. But to drive more engagements and create awareness, that’s why there is a feature to make money on Hawkit.ng. 

We will talk about this money-making part soon. But before then, let’s talk about the legitimacy of this platform;

Is Hawkit.ng Legit or Scam?

Someone asked me this, but for me to provide an answer, it took me about 2 days to do my research.

The outcome: Hawkit.ng is not a scam, it is legit.

Oh, how am I so sure that Hawkit.ng is legit? Maybe that’s what is wiggling on your mind now.

Well, I had to look for loopholes, how bad people are taking about Hawkit.ng but I have till now found nothing. Instead, I’m hearing how good the platform is.

For instance, a friend of mine who has been engaging on different platforms to make money online and has been scammed at different times shared her experience about Hawkit.ng with me.

She said when she heard about Hawkit.ng, she felt it was going to be like other platforms that scam people. But she decided to “risk it”. She paid N1,000 for the registration fee to become a member.

But in a few days, she has earned N2,500 which is over 200% of her investment.

Unlike many Ponzi scheme platforms you can see the hundred thousand you’re making on your dashboard but can’t withdraw it.

But on Hawkit.ng, she was able to withdraw her earnings to her “Zenith bank account” in just a few clicks.

And a lot of other people share their own stories online too.

Hawkit.ng is Legit? One daring thing about Hawkit.ng…

The platform claims they will refund your registration fee of N1,000 if you don’t make more than that within 30 days!

I Mean it takes some darings for someone or a platform to promise a refund if the product or service did not work as advertised.

How Can I Make Money on Hawkit.ng?

Making money on Hawkit.ng is as simple as doing as pressing your phone and doing what you like doing; being on social media and maybe sharing information with people.

Here are basically what to do to make money on Hawkit.ng:

  • Refer and Earn

Because Hawkit.ng is still growing, they’re leveraging referral marketing strategies to boost their product awareness. 

What they do is simple;

You join to become a member; you also refer someone to become a member and you earn on each member you successfully referred.

Oh oh… You’re thinking this is those regular “bring two-two people platforms”. I got you. Experience ?

But Hawkit is not like that. As I said, Hawkit.ng is an eCommerce platform, not a money-making platform. So, you can choose to ignore this refer and earn feature and focus on other things on the platform.

How Much Does Hawkit.ng Pay Per referral?

For every successful referral, you will be paid N500.

For someone to become a member, they have to pay a sum of N1,000, and Hawkit.ng will give you 50% of that whenever someone joined the platform through your referral code.

Imagine you are able to refer at least 10 people per week, that’s N5,000 for you.

So, the refer and earn feature on Hawkit.ng is a viable way to make money online in Nigeria. Let’s talk about another way to make money on Hawkit.ng

  • Perform Social Tasks

This is as simple as liking other people’s posts, following pages, and commenting. Sometimes, sharing posts to your social media platforms, especially WhatsApp.

The commission on each social task varies and is relatively small. But if you are consistent enough, it could be something “hooge”.

Commission on Performing social tasks on Hawkit.ng

  • On Hawkit.ng, posting on WhatsApp status, you will earn N20 per post
  • To follow people’s pages and accounts on Instagram, Hawkit.ng will pay you N3

  • View and Post Comments on Youtube – ₦20 per View and Comment
  • Post Comments – ₦15 per Comment
  • Hawkit Google Play App Review – ₦30 per Review
  • Hawkit Apple Store Review – ₦60 per Review

If you can post and perform 5 WhatsApp tasks in a day, that’s N100. If you are consistent with that for 30 days, that’s N3,000.

  • Resell Data & Airtime

This is entire as a business on its own. You can buy 6G MTN data for N1,460 and resell it at the rate of N1,500 which means you will earn N40 as a profit.

Data reselling business is very common in Nigeria just like the Recharge card printing business and I know people are earning from it. 

  • Sell Something, anything on Hawkit.ng

You don’t need me to explain this as it is what you have been doing for a long as a business person. You can sell anything on Hawkit.ng and make money.

One benefit of using Hawkit.ng to sell your stuff is that your product will be automatically targeted to those people within your city so that you won’t need to stress yourself targeting the wrong audience and worrying about delivery.

If you have sold something on the likes of Jiji or Jumia before, Hawkit is a great alternative you need to try.

How to Register on Hawkit.ng

To register on Hawkit.ng, all you need is your internet-enabled smartphone or laptop and you’re good to go. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to do that;

  1. Click here to sign up (kindly use gbolamedia as your referral code)
  2. When clicked on the registration link above, you will land on a page where you will enter your basic data, do so and follow the next commands.
  3. Become a member by activating with N1,000. This is optional but if you want to earn on Hawkit.ng, you have to pay this fee.

Hawkit.ng - Become a member

4. After successful registration and activation, start carrying out your tasks to make money.

Tips to Make Money on Hawkit.ng

Making money online is not easy especially when it comes to using this type of platform. But here are my few tips on how you can maximize Hawkit to earn big.

  • Have a target per day and be consistent with the target. In a day, you may make it your goal to refer just 2 people… 

Share 5 times to your WhatsApp, subscribe to YouTube channel, and other platforms, etc… just to target something around N1,200 per day. 

If you are consistent with that goal, that is N1,200 in 30 days which is N36,000 – this even passes over the minimum wage in Nigeria.

  • Use your WhatsApp status to tell people about Hawkit.ng, don’t just post, be creative with whatever you are posting. You’re selling, you’re not looking for views. Tell them why Hawkit.ng is legit and how they can make money on it
  • Go on Facebook and other tools you use. Talk to friends around you. Don’t be ashamed of making money dear.

Conclusion – Hawkit.ng is Legit, Make Money on Hawkit.ng

As said earlier, Hawkit.ng is not a money-making platform like other Ponzi schemes you are familiar with. Before you earn on Hawkit, you need to work and you may choose not to refer anybody.

Although you can earn as much as possible on Hawkit.ng but register it on your mind as a “side-hustle”.

If you want to make money in the long run, I will advise you to learn a skill, I always tell people this. Don’t depend on platforms like these because it may be for just a short period of time.

But anyways, Hawkit is still here. Let’s see how much you can earn, don’t forget to use “gbolamedia” as your referral code during the registration, or simply click this link to get started ASAP.

If you have any questions, kindly contact Hawkit’s customer support.

Let’s say there’s a Hisense TV on Jumia that costs N120,000 and the affiliate commission on the TV is 15%, it simply means if you promote the Hisense TV and luckily, someone purchased the TV through your link, Jumia will pay you 15% of N120,000 which is how much? Press your calculator ?

Okay, 15% of N120,000 is N18,000.

That’s how much you’ll be paid as a Jumia affiliate for promoting and selling that product!

Imagine if just 2 people buy the TV in a month, that’s N36,000 for you.

Note that I just used the Hisense TV as example. As a Jumia affiliate partner, you can promote any product on Jumia and make money.

This look like the first one, but slightly different.

With Jumia KOL affiliate program, you make money when someone click on your affiliate link and proceed to buy that product. But what if you know someone who want to order for something online but doesn’t know how?

Personally, I’ve shopped for items on Jumia worth N200,000 this year and I’m still going to shop more. Now, assuming that I’m on JFORCE program, how much do you think I would have made by simply shopping on Jumia?

N1000 for every N5000 order, remember?

So, on N200,000, I would have made whopping N40,000! But you’re not going to be buying N200k products on Jumia every month to make N40k.

So, how can you make money on Jumia with JFORCE program? Here’s how;

How to Make Money on Jumia with JFORCE program

  1. Join the Jumia JFORCE program: https://jforce.jumia.com.ng/
  2. Fill all the details (your correct names, email, phone number, and bank details)
  3. Start shopping on Jumia with your JFORCE account and earn money in return!
  4. That’s all.

But let me give you a strategy if you really want to turn this to a business;

You can always tell people through your WhatsApp statuses, Facebook, mouth-to-mouth or any other way you know, that you can help them shop for their items on Jumia for FREE.

You can even offer then N500 airtime if they choose order the items through you. You just need to build your brand, be trusted and convince them to trust you.

Note that this is 100% LEGAL! There’s a reason why Jumia created JFORCE program; It’s simply because not everybody knows how to shop online (but they want to).

The next is;

3.      Procurement Services

This is another viable way to make money on Jumia!

Procurement service is also 100% legal and some agencies are into this particular business only. For instance, when I want to buy an item from USA, I used a procuring agent who bought the item on my behalf and send to the company that will ship it to me.

Just in case you want to know how to buy items from USA and shipping to Nigeria, read how I did mine successfully with Heroshe here.

Now, back to how you can make money procuring items on Jumia. How does it work?

Well, it works like JFORCE but slightly different.

On JFORCE, you’re buying the items for someone on JUMIA at no extra cost to them, JUMIA will personally compensate your hard work.

But on Procurement service, it works different. You’ll charge a certain amount of money for helping the person to order the items (if the person comes to you him/herself ni o).

It happens! A lot people would like to buy something online but don’t know how, or as a result of technical issue, they may not be able to pay with their cards. Then they’ll be looking for someone to help them place the order.

That’s where you come in!

You can help these people and charge them small amount of money.

For instance, you can charge 10% on total order, which is pretty good and affordable.

Let assume that the person wants to buy an item that cost N5,000, you can charge 10% and that’s N500 for you.

You may be thinking what will N500 do for you, but hey, that’s just an assumption. Some people order for items work N100k, N200k and so on.

If you charge 10% on items worth N100k, that’s N10,000 for you without leaving home. All you need to do is to get the name(s) of the item, search on Jumia, confirm and buy. That’s all. I trust you won’t use up to 50MB which is not even up to N200.

So, you can make money on Jumia by offering procurement services.

Do we still have another way to make money on Jumia? Yes!

4.      Become a Vendor on Jumia

Honestly, I don’t know how this work as I’m not a vendor and neither do I know anyone who’s a vendor.

But in my own little experience, let me tell you one or two things about making money as a vendor on Jumia.

First, who’s a vendor?

A vendor is simply someone (or company) who sells products on a particular marketplace.

And we have a lot of “multi-vendor” marketplace which you know such as Amazon, AliExpress, Konga, JUMIA and lot of them.

Without people or agents coming to these platforms to sell their products, there’s no way Jumia, Amazon and the rest of the multivendor marketplace will exist. They exist to bring sellers and buyers together.

So, if you have anything to sell online, use JUMIA! They have the visibility to make you sales.

If you’re a fashion designer, boutique owners, you sell any shippable items, why can’t you join Jumia as a vendor and start making money when your items are purchased by someone.

Like I said earlier, I don’t have the idea of how much JUMIA make per your item purchased, but I’m sure you’ll get to know when signing up as a vendor.

Here is where to sign up as a vendor on Jumia;

How to Become a Seller on Jumia

  1. Sign up here: https://www.jumia.com.ng/sp-marketplace-vendor/
  2. Fill all forms correctly with your details
  3. Complete the onboarding training
  4. List your products and start selling!

Okay, any other way to make money on Jumia? I got another one, the last one!

5.      Become a Delivery or Pickup Station Agent

I don’t have much information about this, but I know it’s possible and a viable way to make money on Jumia.

The first part is by becoming a delivery agent.

This can be kind of stressful as I’m sure you’ll be scrutinized thoroughly before you can be accepted. The reason is simply because they need someone who can be trusted with customers’ items.

If you’re interested and you have all necessary documents and referees to tender, you can contact JUMIA via this email address and ask them directly or check below;

How to Join Jumia as Delivery or Logistics Agent

  1. Sign up here: https://jumia_form.formstack.com/forms/3pl_interest_registration_en
  2. complete the form and submit
  3. Expect feedback from JUMIA.

The second part is by becoming a pickup station agent.

Jumia has lot of pickup stations across the country and I’m sure they need more of those local offices.

For example, I remember about 2 years ago, there is no pickup station in my City, I used to travel down to another City to get my items. But now, Jumia pickup stations in my place are more than 3.

Jumia want to expand their reach to lot of customers in many different places in your country and City. You can apply to become an agent.

Requirement to Become Jumia Pickup Station Agent

  • 1000sqft dedicated space for Jumia in your facility

Be informed that you might be required to submit some official documents before you can become one of their agents.

So, that’s it on How to Make Money on Jumia

All the 5 different ways listed here are working, you just need to get to work if you reason want to make your own. Remember that it might not be easy but if you master them as a real business and you’re consistent, you’ll be glad you did.

8 Legit Ways to Make Money with Bitcoin (Cryptos) – No 2 is the Easiest!

Published

on

I understand why you are trying to make money with bitcoin; you’re either tired of that job, that vocational skill that’s not giving you enough, you’re a student and you’re trying to start taking your own responsibilities or, you are just looking for a reliable side-hustle.

That’s quite good, I hate comfort zones too.

But you need to be very careful because you can easily be scammed due to your lack or inadequacy of knowledge about making money with cryptocurrencies.

Right in this blog post, I will highlight a few ways you can definitely make money with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. And I will also show you a few ways you can spot a scammer who’s trying to turn you into a prey.

Before we go into the pool, do you know what bitcoin or cryptocurrencies are?

Oh well, for the sake of those who need a brief introduction, let me say one or two things about cryptocurrency so that you’ll understand basically how it works.

What is Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency?

A cryptocurrency is simply a “digital money”.

Too quick right? Okay, let me explain further;

A cryptocurrency (“Crypto + Currency”) is a means of exchange or currency that makes use of digital files as “money”. These digital files are so secure because they’re created using a method known as “cryptography” and are decentralized.

Let’s me make it clearer;

Cryptography is the science of hiding information, meaning that you can visibly see the currency (just like the Paper notes or coins) but you can know how much of a cryptocurrency you have, you can send, receive and trade it.

“Decentralized” simply means it is under nobody’s control. 

This is the most interesting part of cryptocurrencies. Unlike the US Dollar, Japanese Yen, Nigeria Naira and other currencies that are being controlled by the government, nobody is controlling bitcoin or cryptocurrency!

What is bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency created in 2008 by someone or a group of people (anonymous) called Satoshi Nakamoto. 

Bitcoin is one of the cryptocurrencies we have, just like the US Dollar is one of the note currencies we spend in the world. Other cryptocurrency we have included Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Litecoin (LTC), Monero (XMR) and so on.

Now that you know what bitcoin is, let’s talk about making money with it.

Kindly note that just like you can make money with bitcoin, you can also make money with Ethereum and other cryptos. 

Make Money with Cryptos: How to Make Money with Bitcoin

1. Trading

This is the fastest way to make money with Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrencies. 

Trading requires deep knowledge and insight about the crypto sphere. You need to learn how to do your Technical analysis, Fundamental analysis and sometimes, Sentimental analysis.

If Cryptocurrency trading is easy, everyone would have become a billionaire by now.

You need to invest in learning ‘how to trade crypto’ by paying a mentor who’s a lion in the space.

Note that Trading is risky, you can make a lot of money if your analysis is correct while reverse is the case if your analysis didn’t tally with the market.

So, you can learn how to trade, if you can afford the mentorship fee.

The mentorship fee varies from $200 (N100,000) upwards depending on the mentor’s package.

2. HODLing

You are wondering, what is the meaning of “HODLing”, isn’t it?

Well, HODL simply means “Hold”. 

HODL is a term used in cryptocurrency which means to hold a particular coin for a while, with the expectation that the coin will gain more value in the future.

A good example is when they told you to HODL Bitcoin.

One (1) Bitcoin was around $5,000 a year ago. Hadn’t you bought a fraction of Bitcoin that was worth $1,000 and HODL till now, you will be in massive profit.

Because bitcoin is now $60,000 (as at the time of writing this) – that’s 6 times increase… you will have more than $6,000 now.

HODLing is a safer way to make money with bitcoin and other cryptos. It’s just like saving money and you have nothing to lose.

HODLing is slow compared to Trading.

But I personally prefer to be on the safer side.

You can get crypto wallets to start your savings today. Below are the list of apps to help you get started;

Top Wallets to HODL (Save) Cryptocurrencies

  • 1. Binance
  • 2. OkeX
  • 3. Luno
  • 4. Buycoins (for Nigeria)
  • 5. Trustwallet

HODLing to make money with bitcoin doesn’t require a special skill. All you need to learn is how to create your account and verify it and finally, how to buy the cryptocurrencies.

3. Staking

Staking is a way to make money with cryptos.

Generally, staking is like a “BONUS” but more massive than a mere bonus you may be thinking of.

If you’re holding a particular coin, let’s say Ethereum…

You will have to just keep the Ethereum there and wait till the price pump (increases). But as a sharp guy, you are supposed to make money with Ethereum instead of waiting for the pump season.

That’s where “staking” comes in.

You can stake Ethereum to earn another coin for FREE.

I sometimes staked ETH and earned COMP for free. Later, the price of ETH and COMP pumped at the same time, that’s profit for me.

For instance, let’s say I staked $50 Ethereum to earn COMP.

After a month, I have earned a free 0.004 COMP… 

The COMP that I earned is FREE, and I will make money if I sell it. Note that my ETH is still there and its price is increasing as the market is pumping.

In essence, Staking is a 2-in-1 way to make money with cryptos. 

You can check on the likes of Okex, Binance and the BSC platforms for coin staking.

4. Receive Payment with Cryptos

A good but not common way to make money with Bitcoin.

If you’re a freelancer, you can simply ask your client to pay you in Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies. I prefer this option as a method of receiving payments from abroad as it is faster and safer.

If you worked for someone and the agreed price is $100, if you receive the money in fiat (paper currency), you can never have the same $100 in your Bank account. Why?

If you receive the money through PayPal, you’ll be charged by PayPal if you are withdrawing directly. And if you are exchanging the funds, you will lose some money due to the exchange rate and the exchanger’s commission on the transaction.

Same thing applies to receiving the money through a freelancing website, most of them charge 20% fee. That’s $80 left and the payment processor will still take theirs.

But if you receive the $100 through Bitcoin, Ethereum, you will have more than that $100 in a few days, if you can HODL and even proceed to STAKE it.

5. Become an Exchanger

There’s money in this business, but you need to have money to make the money.

Confused?

Some people want to SELL Bitcoin while some others want to BUY. What if you cover the distance between these BUYERS and SELLERS?

You buy from the SELLER at a particular price and SELL to the BUYER at a higher rate.

Let’s say you bought Bitcoin at the rate of P500 per USD, you can sell to the person that wants to buy Bitcoin from you at the rate of P540 per USD… Meaning, you will make P40 on every dollar transacted.

NOTE: P is your local currency such as Naira, Rupees, Cedis etc.

Let’s say you bought $100 worth of Bitcoin at P500, that’s P50,000 spent, right?

If another person comes to you to buy $100 worth of Bitcoin, and you sell at P540 per USD, that’s P54,000 – meaning you’ve just made P4,000 profits.

That’s just a peak of how a (local) exchanger like this TrueXgold.com makes money with Bitcoin and other cryptos.

Do you know that you can HODL and STAKE in the process (before someone shows interest in buying from you)…?

I once sold $60 worth of ETH because I needed money urgently. 

Do you believe that ETH pumped massively the second day? Hadn’t been I haven’t sold the ETH, I would have made more than $100 (about $40 profit).

Well, the exchanger got the profit.

Another great way to make money with Bitcoin as an exchanger;

If you have some money to invest, you can hire developers to develop an exchange platform like Binance, Hotbit, Buycoins etc., for you.

But it requires a lot of processes and money to be spent on the development and marketing team.

You should have a minimum of $30,000 for this project.

You can try the local exchanging business and see how it works.

6. Crypto Faucets

Without much ado, Crypto faucets let you earn FREE coins or tokens by completing a given task.

Sometimes, it can be to play games online and earn very small tokens as reward.

A good example of websites that offer this type of rewards is Freebitco.in where you will be given free satoshis (small amount of bitcoin).’

You can also get Brave browsers and engage in some of the opportunities that pop to you.

Do more research on this, there are many apps and websites that reward free tokens by completing simple tasks.

7. Crypto Mining Pool

Just like hidden treasures like Gold and Silver are mined, cryptocurrencies can also be mined but not with the spade or digger. You need strong machines and hardware to mine cryptocurrencies

Another best way to make money with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is to mine them.

Setting up this machine is a bit technical and expensive.

But, you can also find some platforms (websites or platforms) where you can mine cryptos or tokens for free without setting up any machine. 

An example is Stormgain, where you can start mining bitcoin with a small fee.

Do your research on this too.

8. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing needs no introduction, but if you don’t know anything about it, kindly read this post on what’s affiliate marketing and how to be successful at it.

The easiest way to make money with Bitcoin and other crypto is affiliate marketing.

You don’t need to spend anything than recommending a platform to someone through your unique affiliate link and you earn commission if the person takes action.

Almost all crypto exchange platforms have this feature.

For instance, Okex will give you $30 if you invite your friend to BUY cryptocurrency on the platform. Binance, Hotbit, Bundle Africa, Luno and others have theirs.

Imagine you referred 20 people to BUY their cryptos on OKEX with your affiliate link, and 5 people actually take action, that’s $30 x 5 = $150 for you.

Affiliate marketing in crypto is a side hustle though.

BONUS: 

You can also try Airdrops.

I don’t really want to talk about this because most of them are FAKE and others are pure scam. But nevertheless, some people who’re lucky enough, still make money with Airdrops.

So, DYOR (Do Your Own Research) on Airdrops and how to make money with it.

CONCLUSION: What’s the best way to make money with bitcoin (cryptos) in 2021?

I have highlighted 8 ways you can make money with cryptocurrencies and this applies to anybody irrespective of your location, either Nigeria, USA, India or Italy.

But try as much as possible to avoid being scammed.

If you don’t know something, Google is your friend, read and consume a lot of information online and if you have the money, get a mentor.

Kindly note that FOREX including Cryptocurrency trading or engaging in it is risky, so don’t borrow money to invest and don’t invest more than you can afford to lose.

Those are the ways to make money with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
