I found the why 10 years ago in school.

So today, I'm at home , working online.

So can you find your why?

Tell me why you want to create a job if you want this thread to be helpful to you.

Otherwise go dust your c.v.

You can't create anything when you can't earn.

So what do you do?

Find out what people will pay for and give them to that thing.

Can I wash your car?
Can I care for your baby?

Can I write for you?

So start by thinking of what someone will pay for.

And I got the skills.


So after thinking hard, come up with the skills.

Learn , learn , learn how to deliver it.

How do you market your skills to get clients
Re: How To Stop Looking For Job And Create One by eliok(m): 9:21pm On Feb 17, 2021
Dangrace01:


How do you market your skills to get clients
learn first.
Learn and then look at your immediate environment.

I say immediate.


If you aren't sure they will pay, then go online.

E.g visit
Fiverr.com

See all kind of stuff people do.

So how do you get customers?

1. Learn first the skill they pay for.
2. Offer to do the work
3. Message your friends . Tell them on Facebook or text message them what you can do .

You can't create jobs when you're not offering people any service.

I wonder why you're complaining there's no money.

Na wao.

Do people pick money?

Go to Fiverr and see what people do.

Learn the one you can learn.

Pay for mentorship or go to YouTube for free tutorial.
Re: How To Stop Looking For Job And Create One by eliok(m): 9:26pm On Feb 17, 2021

Go to Fiverr.

Find what you like to do

Critical point is

Let it be something you Can do in Nigeria and abroad.

Something you can do offline or online.

Both ways.

That's how I learned web design, blogging and writing.

I also do others but don't make much from it.
Re: How To Stop Looking For Job And Create One by eliok(m): 11:41am On Feb 18, 2021
If you don't have a computer it's not an excuse.

Go dust your c.v now .

No excuse to do Yahoo Yahoo.

No way!!!


You can teach anything for free if they won't pay in your area.

I done lots of free tutorial before.

I teach lessons, I have done free seminars.

I hate it when people say there's no job

What do you mean?

No what?

As long as we have problems, your job is to fix it.
Re: How To Stop Looking For Job And Create One by eliok(m): 11:50am On Feb 18, 2021
For example,
Problem - no good keyboard player in my area / church


Solution - me learning keyboard so I can teach and get paid.

That's a paid skill .

So it will be my 12th paid skill (just kidding)
Re: How To Stop Looking For Job And Create One by eliok(m): 2:19pm On Feb 18, 2021
What can you do now have you discovered anything yet?

All hope is not lost, you can still dust your c.v but I advise against it for now

still seeking a job to be a slave?

well except you are working and have a defined time of leaving.

i worked as a teacher for 4 years. when i was there, my mindset was different. i knew it was temporary. iwas learning skill that pay me.

i was paid 20k.
my expenses was 22k

was always short of money.
i kept learning how to blog , online stuffs.

my fellow teachers have been teaching for 10 years above.

guess what, they are still there.


im not against working.

im against anyone who cant tell me he plans to leave one day.
unless when they get fired.

quick question b4 you take any step

Are you married?

If yes, is your spouse working? If yes , there's an advice for this.


If you are not married, there's also an advice for this kind of person.

Are you currently taking a break from ur "online" job?
Re: How To Stop Looking For Job And Create One by eliok(m): 7:04pm On Feb 19, 2021
extol1:

ok.

So as you are not married, just
Do a quick research on 5 skills that bring money you love .

I'm not talking about singing as that requires an amount to do an album.

I'm talking about what people pay for.
Something you have interest in.

I have interest in solar installation. I learnt it by practical online and I have installed my home solar.


Thats something I have interest in.

I have Interest in stocks etc.

Look at Fiverr.

Look at your hobbies.
1. Mention 5 things people will pay for you love or have interest in them.

2. Write them down.

3. Get to learn the simplest for you.

While still working. Do the learning in the night, or weekends .

Can you do this?
Re: How To Stop Looking For Job And Create One by eliok(m): 9:26am On Feb 20, 2021

Re: How To Stop Looking For Job And Create One by eliok(m): 4:38pm On Feb 20, 2021
Why many stay idle on weekends, it can be your learning hour.

Visit YouTube or a mentor.

Get a paid skill.

Remember select the easiest one out of the 5 we asked you to learn.

Don't waste a weekend again
Re: How To Stop Looking For Job And Create One by eliok(m): 3:26pm On Feb 21, 2021

Re: How To Stop Looking For Job And Create One by eliok(m): 7:40pm On Feb 21, 2021
It doesn't work, yes it happen to me.

7 years ago.
Started online biz.

I was discouraged. I parked up.

But after 6 years I heard it was still working.

That was self publishing.

Then why did they say it doesn't work?

I don't know. I can't say.

But I promise never to listen to anyone saying a legit Husle doesn't work.
Maybe my method is wrong so learn more.

That's the spirit.

Don't be discouraged.
Re: How To Stop Looking For Job And Create One by eliok(m): 8:48pm On Feb 21, 2021
Sometimes people are saying a legit Husle doesn't work because they are afraid you are leaving them.

Move on and never never look back.

Remember , I lost 6 years because of listening to such comments.

If it's not working, learn from a professional

Thanks
