Since there are restrictions to crypto trading in Nigeria, a lot of entrepreneurs are making money leveraging this gold mine. Contrary to popular opinion that considered investments into crypto trading a scam, when you properly learn the skills, it is one of the fastest ways to making legit money online in the world of today.

However, if you do not want to go through the rigorous process of learning the art of trading online as a beginner, you can buy some of these coins and keep them for one year or more. By the time you’re ready to sell them, the cost of the coins would have appreciated and you will end up getting 10 times of the money invested and free of hassle too. How much more when you learn the skill of trading these coins as the market prices fluctuates daily?

Asides this approach, there are other various opportunities which come with crypto trading, one of which is Blockchain technology and an avenue to get paid thousands of dollars should you land a job in this area.

3. Affiliate Marketing

If you have an affiliate marketer on your WhatsApp contact list, you would notice they’re always particularly excited about Fridays. Guess why? That’s a payday, a day where they get credited with commissions for other people’s products and services that they have successfully sold and that’s pretty much what affiliate marketing is all about.

4. Copywriting skills

This niche keeps growing by the day as more and more people are beginning to see the gainful employment opportunities present in this skill. And if we must be true to ourselves, writing copies that’ll convert to sales is pretty much hard work and it requires all the dedication it can get. You can learn how to write emotional, moveable, touching and persuading contents on any learning platform that you can think of, some of which we have looked at previously.

5. Web Design and App Development

You have probably heard that tech guys are making a lot of money and you don’t know where to start from, web design is a great way to start.

One beautiful thing about learning this skill is, it can be done on your mobile phone. You don’t necessarily need a laptop. Some of the places you can start learning include Skillshare, Udemy, Coursera and Shaw Academy.

So, it is up to you to take the bull by the horns and get all that you can from the Tech space.

6. Graphics Design

Although very similar to web design, graphics design appears to be a lot more flexible since it is a visual content using pictures and typography to make ends meet.

There is a rising need for video editors as more content creators make use of more videos to explain events and happenings. Asides that, the film industry has continued to expand, hence the need for as many editors to fill up this mouthwatering space as possible. But how does the space get filled when there are no skilled people to occupy it?.

It is no longer news that people are using search engines daily to find resources on the world wide web that is of interest to them. As a result, there have been this increased competition for who tops the page for each query. Therefore, the need for Search Engine Optimization arose and have become a multi-million worth of skill should you learn the craft in it.

The work of an SEO specialist or expert is to make web pages of a client to be worthy to be considered relevant and rewarded with higher ranking by major search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, Duckduckgo, Yandex and others.

He or she does that by optimizing different sections of a website like it’s meta titles and descriptions, contents writing, internal links, use of structured data and Schema.org markups, text formatting, keywords research, backlink attraction and many more. In fact, a qualified SEO expert is a mini coder. These and a few more arr the major things to learn to be on your way to real money in this year. Don’t miss out, use any web-based online course to learn SEO.

9. Digital Marketing

The world has gone digital and will continue to advance in this regard and because of that, there’s a need to keep up with the trend and innovate even more. Else, an individual or corporate body might soon go out of business. Digital marketing includes using every digital tool conceivable to market products and services.
My one recommendation to you as you read this is to learn from advertisement agencies. I mean, where would you rather learn than from agencies or brands that are grounded in it.

10. Cloud computing

If you’ve heard about Google Cloud before now, then you most probably know what cloud computing is about. Many people think it is a hard skill to acquire which is why it is a fertile ground, an area that not many people have explored already. You see, if only you’re willing to dedicate the time and resources to learn this skill, I promise you, there’s a lot of money waiting for you make.

Bonus Skill 1: Social Media Marketing

The world is indeed advancing. This have affected how we relate and communicate with friends and families, acquaintances, well-wishers, fans and lots more. Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Tiktok are adequately living up to their responsibilities of connecting the dots and these can be efficiently explored with the help of a Social Media Marketer who deals on planning, posting, scheduling contents so as to increase the awareness of a given brand. It doesn’t end there as their work extend to organizing events and other meetings to reach out to the fanbase and get feedback from them.

Bonus Skill 2: Search Engine Marketing

This is a digital skill aimed at promoting goods and services especially e-commerce products on the paid advert listings of search engines like Google Inc.
This is done by leveraging Google Ads, formerly AdWords to bid for keywords targeted at searchers, then convert them to leads and finally sell to them.

Many companies are hunting for individuals who possess these kind of skills and are always willing to pay for their services.

Explore as many platforms as you can, you can do this and even more in this promising year.


In conclusion, grab as many free courses as you can and as you advance, pay the price to learn even if it’s going to cost a lot because the truth is, it’s going to be worth it at the end of the day.

And now that you have all this information, tell me, what’s your excuse for not making money this year would be?
