Folks, kindly permit me to present 6 legit online businesses you can start with little resources in our contemporary times.
We have made an effort to select business opportunities that are practicable in, and applicable to Africa.
The rate at which unemployment has eaten into Africa has become so damaging and threatening. Had the world including Africa not successfully shifted into the digital age, poverty would have hit down the four walls of the African Continent. African countries would have become derelict and riddled with human symbols of poverty.
All thanks to the immediate shift in age and standard of economy.
It is so disheartening that despite the inarguably shift to the “skill economy” that the world has experienced, and the vast opening of a series of opportunities to anybody ready and willing to acquire skills quickly and implement them effectively to secure a better life, Africans are still lagging in the appropriation of these opportunities.
Thanks to poor technological infrastructure, archaic educational curriculum, unfavourable business environment, weak judicial oversight, weak political leadership as well as poor political will, among others.
Unfortunately, there are lots of African Youths who cannot access technological solutions to their socio-economic problems.
They still go about life with heads full of old ideas and archaic business orientation despite possessing smartphones in their hands that could link them to the global village and facilitate positivity in their lives.
Meanwhile, there are many African youths, students and graduates who currently are searching for Ponzi schemes that will help them financially without them getting to work.
Likewise, it is obvious during this period that there are great numbers of people who spend their internet connection on things that would not add value to their finances.
It is high time we broke out of the chain of ignorance to the light of legitimate businesses.
Many young Africans are still broke today because they are scared and find it hard to believe that fortune could be made online or that wealth could be made at any age of life.
They also fail to realise that the requirement for making money or getting a high-paid job could be boiled down to “High-value skills, Internet Connection, lots determination and smartphone or laptop, among others.
Maybe, the right question that must be directed to anybody that is still passive about making the best of this digital revolution is:
Have you ever imagined yourself sitting in the comfort of your room, maybe on your bed as you rake in financial value closer to yourself with digital value?
Have you ever imagined yourself running a business campaign, designing web and graphics right from inside your room, and your account balance experiencing a steady increase with time?
These are snippets into what the digital world has in packages, although these packages are untouchable unless one is digitally smart with digital skills.
The world has gone digital and it is no more news that to be among those who will make most of this age one must build a business around digital skills, and be willing to transact digital value with financial value.
