Finding Chance within Chaos: Picking the Right Opportunities Online
Finding Chance within Chaos: Picking the Right Opportunities Online
In your online traverses, you have probably come across a posting along the following lines: ‘Would you like to make money from your mobile for just being online? Reply YES and I will show you how you can make between Ksh. 5000 to 10,000 daily without leaving home.
You can be forgiven if you have felt a faraway temptation to type ‘yes.’ I mean, who doesn’t want to make 10k daily? It is not like the entire mass of people in Nairobi jams is itching to leave home, or are you? However, the offer just appears too good to be true and you wouldn’t want anyone who regards you in society to see your name in the comments.
Within that post however, lies two essential truths:
- There is a lot of conmanship going on over the internet
- There are a lot of opportunities available online
The truth that dominates your world is entirely dependent on you.
Opportunities online exist within chaos- anonymous
While businesses are heavily built around fear, they succeed by tackling the existing fears rather than letting them hold you back. As such, the dangers found within the internet should not withhold you from exploiting this goldmine.
Here are a few of the numerous genuine online opportunities you can exploit:
Content writing
Are you a wordsmith? If yes, you are sitting on an online resource that could make you turn your side hustle into the main hustle. A lot of people are looking for people to help them curate content for their websites.
The writing mostly known in Kenyan circles is that of academic circles. However, you can still go the way of creativity and field authority by writing for websites. This is possible through writing platforms like Fiver and Upwork. Alternatively, you can identify websites you like and send cold pitches to them through their contact forms.

Forex and Cryptocurrency Trading
The business of buying and selling money and stocks is completely alive online. The online space removes the barriers of location and time, allowing you to transact anywhere at any time. The entrance of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple into the market is slowly revolutionizing the money market.
Although Blockchain has taken a tumble in 2018 and early 2019, projectors predict it is on the verge of taking another upward lunge. Your chance may be in there!
Virtual Assistant
The concept of the office is changing too with the internet. Today, people do not have to have office assistants coming in to work on a daily basis. If you have skills that can help you manage diaries, handle appointments and organize tasks, then there are a lot of opportunities online for you.
Digital Marketing and Advertising
The online is the new playing field for marketers. If you can prove yourself to be an influencer, you stand a good chance to attract advertising managers’ budgets in plenty. Advertising can come from your authority in writing/blogging, comedy, photography, and video blogging among many others.
Get out there
The single most important thing when working online or seeking online opportunities is to get known. You have to be persistent; keep chopping on the bitt until you get that breakthrough. If you are sending out pitches, you might post them in their hundreds before you get your big break.
Honestly, it takes time, but you have to keep going. Thankfully, besides taking up your time, you won’t have to spend so much else to keep your efforts going. The same internet bundles you use to post memes (which could also become your area of authority, by the way) are the ones you will use to send out proposal emails.
Look at the internet as a market place rather than a mere social space. Get on forums that discuss your interests and don’t be afraid to speak out. Forums like Reddit, Craigslist, and LinkedIn are great places to begin looking.
The four opportunities mentioned here are just a tip of the online opportunities iceberg. The pond is virtually limitless, with jobs like website management, transcription, website design, social media management, and translation among others. You are only limited by your ambition, really. Even if a certain task requires a certain skill, there are numerous tutorials found online to help you learn. These are usually trainings that take not more than a month, either for free or at a minimal cost. By having a little more friendship with Google, you have the ability to expand your possibilities infinitely.
You won’t make 10K daily, at least not on the first days. But those figures are not far from reality. Come on, type your YES with a formidable effort today. I’ll be waiting for your thank you on the other end of your handsome earning!
