(44) Public Lectures:
Organizing public lectures from place to place. This requires team work, so you need a minimum of three to five people to form a team. This is one of the ways Azeez Makinde, the owner of Naijaloaded and his team makes their money, by organizing public lectures for people all around Nigeria on how to be a successful online business tycoon.
If you think you know what others will be willing to learn from you, then I think you shouldn’t waste more time thinking, start creating a team now and get started.
(45) Referrals/Networking:
This very common, but must people get it all wrong because they always look for a cheaper way to make money by using site that offers free referrals service and very deceptive huge amount of money.
Have you ever imagined why they offer that fake amount of money for just referring people to their websites? The answer is very simple, they are doing that because they want many users to sign up so that they can get their email addresses, this email addresses will be resold or used for advertisement purposes, no wonder you get mails from people you don’t know.
You might have heard of Helping hands affiliate (#6000), 4Corners ($18), Bitcoins affiliate, and Netcontacts. These companies are having almost the same mission, but I prefer Netcontacts, because it is the cheapest, easiest, and very fast to create a big network with just #1,500 (less than $8), and money will be refunded back if the people you referred to the site do not pay. Click here to join Netcontacts.
The above jobs are creative and affordable to start. Do not wait for a better condition, do not feel too big or shy to work to earn a living. What you should be concerned about is how to make it even without any help from the government. Depending on the government or waiting for white collar jobs might make you lose the opportunity of becoming your own boss while others are making money from self employment. I am working on a tutorial book which will explain everything about how to start each of the businesses above.
