- Become a social media influencer and marketer
Social media is a platform where you join for free and interact without spending money. Creating a page on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram is free.

- Cleaning business
There are women in our estates who come to clean houses, carpets and chairs and get paid, they spend zero capital. Cleaning business require only a soap and a washing towel. In major towns like Nairobi, you’ll get numerous cleaning opportunities if you visit middle income estates like Umoja, Kitengela ,Langata or Rongai.
- Selling products on social media
Many people think that one has to own products in order to sell them on social media, which is not true. As long as you own social media pages, you will sell products online. All you need is a phone with a good camera, take photos in boutiques and post them on your page. If someone makes an order, visit the boutique, buy the product and send to the customer. You will use the money they pay to buy the product.
- Become a broker/real estate agent
Real estate agents don’t have specific academic qualifications; they have hustled their way up. Even brokers of land and houses only need skills. There is no income required for one to become a broker/real estate agent.
- Blogging
Most bloggers started with a capital of less than Ksh5,000, they are now super rich. I am among those who started with less than Ksh2,000. To start blogging, you need a website, domain name and web hosting space. A domain name costs as low as Ksh 300 while hosting is as cheap as Ksh 2,000 per year. But we would encourage you to get hosting from Bluehost because is the best for top Kenyan bloggers. To see the available packages,click on this link
You will make money from AdSense or AdSense alternatives like MGID.With 1 million monthly visitors, you’ll make at least Ksh100,000 per month.
- Farming
If you have land, farming will be easy to do. You can start with planting Sukuma wiki then upgrade to tomatoes, spinach and other high demand vegetables.
