THE FIRST MONEY I MADE ONLINE ALMOST MADE ME CRY... AND MY FRIENDS COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING! π
If someone had told me years ago that I would one day make money from my phone while sitting in my living room, I would probably have laughed and asked them what movie they were watching.
Back then, I believed money only came from wearing a tie every morning, boarding a crowded bus, and sitting in an office until evening.
The internet?
To me, it was where people make come, watched funny videos, and wished each other "Happy Birthday."
I never imagined it could pay my bills.
Everything changed when I started learning digital marketing.
I was excited.
In fact, "excited" is an understatement.
I was already calculating how I would become the next millionaire before making even one naira.
Even before I earned a single naira, I was already figuring out how to become the next millionaire.
I was really confident when I made my first fanpage.
I created what I thought was Nigeria's most exquisite logo.
Because I wanted to appear like a responsible businessman, I even spent nearly two hours selecting the ideal profile image.
After that, I published my first post.
I took a seat.
I folded my legs.
I picked up my phone.
I wrote what I believed was the most beautiful sale page.
I sat down in front of my old model smartphone.Gbam,! it went online Straight into the Facebook portal. To my surprise, it garnered a lot of attention. People began to interact, share, and relate to my content. My network grew from there, the first client sent N25 to my bank account on the first day. On second day I earned another 50k. Eventually over one month I made my first one million naira.
The story was a real testimony and turn around for me as a digital marketer. if you want to find out what I did.Like and share this post.
