In this contemporary and fast-paced day, having several sources of income is essential since, while most earnings are static or declining daily, the cost of goods is rising daily.
The necessity to uphold our level of living, support our brothers and cousins financially, and fulfil the demands of other numerous financial duties without cheating anybody adds to the suffering that teenagers experience in their lives.
I’m Michael, a young man who lives in Ikeja, one of Lagos’s major cities. I had the honour of studying mass communications at one of Nigeria’s most prominent colleges, where I received a Second Class Honors (Upper Division) degree. As a student, I studied assiduously because I believed that if I gave all I did, I would achieve exceptional achievements.
Life occurs.
Following graduation, I was sent to serve my father’s country, Nigeria, along with many other young people. I lived off of my monthly federal government stipend and received no state allowance while serving in Gombe State, where I was posted. There, I diligently completed my primary duty. Despite the fact that I do not have a large amount of money, after paying for necessities like food, transportation, and data, I do not have much money in savings. My Local Government Inspector (LGI) gave me my discharge certificate on my Passing Out Parade (POP) day a few months after this life-changing event. I was relieved to receive it and hopeful that it would help me land a lucrative job (as everyone knows, you need your NYSC discharge certificate to work for the government or in a well-paying organization in Nigeria).
As anticipated, I packed up my things and moved back to my family’s Agege, Lagos home to live with them while I looked for a job that would allow me to pay my bills. Sadly, despite my best efforts to apply, take tests, and have a few oral interviews, I was unable to secure a good job, and ultimately the results were not what I was hoping for.
Then, one day, as a recent mass communication graduate in need of a legal source of income, I looked online for examples of profitable things one might perform to generate money (while still looking for physical work). Online, I found a plethora of alternatives, including affiliate marketing, graphic design, web design, copywriting, and freelancing. I started searching the internet and talking to people who could give me advice on how to go about it because I had a strong interest in affiliate marketing. Combining these several abilities with affiliate marketing will help you make significantly more money overall than if you only used one of them at a time.
Thanks to God, I was able to expand my business and eventually made between N25,000 and N50,000 a week, even as a novice at affiliate marketing. After six months in the firm, time and necessity compelled me to rent my own apartment in Ikeja, one of Lagos State’s urban neighbourhoods.
Being indoors most of the time in my pyjamas made me seem strange, especially compared to the typical lifestyle that my other roommates are used to. Their primary issue with me was that, while they didn’t witness me go to work as they did, I paid my bills (my utilities bills) before they asked. Some people believed that my parents were affluent and that I received a weekly allowance. Others, however, thought I was a Yahoo guy since they would occasionally see me working as an affiliate marketer while enjoying the nice evening air typing on my laptop and talking on the phone with a few people in front of my apartment.
The fact is that, with the exception of a fellow young man who is perhaps 25 years old, none of my flatmates have inquired as to what type of business I am in or why I am not working. Nearly all of them eventually started to act hostilely and suspiciously toward me, but you know what—I remained unmoved. They had no idea that I made as much money in a week as the majority of them did in three months combined. I’m currently making between N250,000 and N300,000 a week.
Two months after the 25-year-old man was exposed to affiliate marketing, the story took a different turn. When the man explained what we were doing, they changed their perspective because two of their other young roommates used our services to become affiliate marketers and are now financially successful. They now realize that not every digital earner is a Yahoo guy.
I’m not a boy from Yahoo!
I’m Ayodele OLUTOKE. Hello.
The aforementioned is for a buddy of mine who is a successful affiliate marketer. Even now, he may make up to N900,000 a month while lounging in his room.
Who else would like to utilize his phone and laptop to make money while lounging in his room? You won’t want to make an exception, in my opinion.
This is your chance to enter this profitable and extremely fulfilling industry and improve your financial situation.
