There are plenty of online jobs Kenyans graduates can do to earn a living. Instead of being idle at home and complain all the time that the government is doing nothing to help you, look for something meaningful to do online. The good thing about online jobs is that they don’t require physical office—you work from home. Even me, I decided to start blogging when I looked for jobs for 3 good years in vain. My first thought was to relocate to the village and do farming but I said no and instead focused on looking for money online. Blogging came as a pass time activity but it’s now my main hustle. In a good month, I make more than Ksh 1.5 million. Currently, I own 5 blogs.
More often than not when I ask graduates why they aren’t starting any kind of business, they blame lack of capital as the cause, but I know capital is not the hindrance, but the urge to push yourself into a venture. If you are willing to make millions online, below are some of the jobs to do:
- Blogging
Running a blog is like running an established company. At first you may get a challenge of getting traffic but with consistency in content creation, you’ll break even. Starting a blog costs as low as Ksh 5,000.To get started, pick a good name for your website, register a domain name, pay for web hosting services and develop a WordPress website.
