| How to make money online in Kenya |
Why should you even bother to make money online in Kenya when you can lazy-off in an office doing nothing the whole day and get a
heavy paycheck at the end of the day?
This question is not rhetorical. It is
what I get from my friends in the Kenyan corporate world when I approach them
with the idea of making money online in Kenya.
Apparently, a lot of Kenyans who work in offices
spend most of their time in Facebook and other social media channels. This has
created apathy for any form of work that demands the subtlest form of effort on
their part. What they forget is that careers are not sustainable nor is a
salary.
Economies change.
Lay-offs happen.
A skill that is marketable today may
not be in needed tomorrow.
It always makes sense to find some supplemental form
of income. I have personally found this supplemental income to be in the form
of genuine online jobs in Kenya.
Online income in Kenya is to an extent sustainable.
Take for example writing in Bubblews. If you can write content that is always
evergreen and that adds value to people’s lives (see here) you can be sure that the search engines will have chances of constantly
fetching your articles as part of their search result pages (SERPs), and from
what I have seen, articles in Bubblews appear higher in the search engine
results page.
You get more views and a sustainable income while you are not
even working. Think about that.
Bubblews is just but one way of making online money
in Kenya. There are like 34 other ways you can use and be sure to get some
money at the end of each workday.
Here is my favorite list of ways to make genuine
money online in Kenya
Of course you have to have a knack for writing if
you are to make money as a freelance writer in Kenya. I currently work in http://www.elance.com
and http://fiverr.com and a multitude of other sites and get paid to write.
- Affiliate
Marketing
If you run a busy blog, you can choose some products
from the diverse cyberspace marketplace to promote on your blog. Make sure that
you love the product you are promoting. It is the only way to remain passionate
about it and write informational content about it.
- Make Money
Facebook in Kenya
All you need to do is create and promote a Facebook
fan page to start making money online. Make sure that you have a loyal following then
start promoting products online. You’ll be surprised at how easy it is to make
genuine money online with Facebook in Kenya.
- Sponsored
Reviews
If you run an authoritative blog, this is one of the
other ways that you can earn some side income online. There are merchants who
pay you to write about their products and post the reviews online. I am
personally a big fan of writing sponsored reviews for http://www.shoeboxed.com . They pay
anywhere between $10 and $20 per post.
- Bubblews
I dare not log off without mentioning Bubblews. It
is the new fun and so far promising way of making an income online in Kenya. I
joined the platform yesterday and I must say, if I will make to withdraw my
earnings, this is one of the platforms that every Kenyan should be watching out
for. You get paid to post, comment, like dislike and connect with other
Bubblers in Bubblews.
As of now, the users in the platform seem confused
as to whether the system should be a social media platform or a content sharing
platform like hubpages and squidoo. The moderators in Bubblews also let
anything go as long as it has hit the 400 words mark.
I personally choose to use the platform as a content
sharing platform. Instead of solely targeting to get views from users in the
platform, I target to get views from organic search engine results, which is
way far sustainable than posting greetings and weather updates in Bubblews.
Talk to me, which are the other ways you use to make
genuine money online in Kenya?
