Many organizations are actually looking for good content writers that would provide quality and engaging content for them. They prefer to engage you if you have writing skill and proficient.

I mentioned earlier about the effect of the pandemic on businesses globally, one of which is the mode of communication. Some companies are in need of a translator. In fact, you can become a translator of many languages for authors, ambassadors, artistes and other brands.
There are international businesses, scholars and authors that would be willing to enroll your services for their translation needs if you can prove your proficiency. To start earning, enlist on a popular freelancing site like Upwork to get started.

If you love the camera or not camera shy, here is your chance on YouTube. Although this is part of content development, but an aspect of it. You can create your own niche you would want people to watch. Find your own subject to develop and build on it.
Over time, it would yield amazing financial results. Choose a niche subject you want to make videos on and get started, but make sure it is a topic that will interest a good audience of people.
You don’t need to have professional equipment or a proper setup to record videos, a mid-range smartphone with a good camera will do the job. You need to create a YouTube channel where your videos can be seen.
5. Online Tutor.
Getting started as an online tutor can be easy in Nigeria. If you love teaching and looking for something that can be done from home, then online tutor jobs are best for you.
Create short 5 – 10 minutes videos on any topic or subject that interests you on online learning platforms like Udemy, Skillshare, and Teachable. You get paid for each student that enrolls for your course.
6. Web Developer.
I have over the years understood the power of creativity and designing. Do you have some understanding of coding and web design? Then you can easily work from home as a website developer. Don’t get yourself worked up if you have little or no experience in the job, the important requirement is your interest in it.
When this is settled, you can quickly run a few online tutorials that can help you get started.
Web development is usually outsourced by companies and businesses in Nigeria and it is, therefore, an area where finding work should be easy.
Bear in mind that there are various freelance web developers out there who can give you a run for your money. It is significant that you find your niche, build a good image and keep your pricing logical and affordable.
