Affiliate Marketing

People have probably heard about affiliate marketing once in their lives, but not many know what it is about or how to get into the business.

International e-commerce brands like Amazon, Ali Express and Jumia have affiliate programs that you could sign up for and earn per each sale made through your unique link which would be created upon registration.

Homeschool/Tutoring

You could start a private home tutoring program, where you visit the homes of neighbours or any interested parent to teach their kids and depending on your bargaining power, you will be going home with six figures monthly.
