Lenders make their income from the interest that borrowers pay on their loans, which can range anywhere from 5% to 30%.
7. Become a social media influencer
The past few years have proven that just about anyone can become a social media influencer as long as they have a decent following on platforms like Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.
Influencers make money by charging brands for sponsored posts, affiliate marketing, doing product reviews, or even selling their own products.
8. Editing and proofreading
Many writers often work with editors and proofreaders to help iron out any errors from their work. It’s a great opportunity to make money for people who are good at catching typos and grammatical errors whenever they read.
9. Ghostwriting
Ghost writers are people who create content for other people, who then take credit as the authors. It may sound a little bit shady but you wouldn’t imagine the number of book authors and musicians who use ghost writers to do their work.
The earning potential is tremendous once you have established yourself as a credible writer, but you can start by charging $20, or Ksh.2,000 on freelancing sites.
10. Online tutoring
Tutoring is a great way to make money by passing on your knowledge to others. Nowadays almost anything can be taught online, the internet has helped spark a lot of people’s curiosity and interest in learning new things, regardless of how mundane.
You can create a course on cooking, sewing clothes, painting, graphic designing, etc. Teachable, one of the leading online teaching platforms, has over 37 million active students and over 123,000 teachers. That just goes to show the level of demand there is.
