Simple ideas to make money, generate extra cash in Nigeria

Pick ideas, find a strategy and research what’s needed to extra money in Nigeria.

With at least one stable income stream, anyone can generate extra cash that will provide the kind of financial security they might need. Regular jobs and employment hardly provide full financial security at least to most people in Nigeria.

This is the main reason that passive income stream is becoming prevalent among young people in the country.

Passive income includes having a regular cash flow and earnings from other sources rather than from one’s employment or contracts.

There are also risks attached to every passive income idea.

This form of income requires commitment and is not as simple as it might sound. Pick an idea, find a strategy and research what’s needed to achieve success.

Sell knowledge online

Platforms like Udemy, Skillshare and Coursera enable knowledge sharing in the form of e-books, audiobooks or video courses. Creators make money by selling content to other users on the platform who want to learn. It is a proven source of passive income.

Rent items from home

Properties and items that are valuable and remain unused for a long time can fetch money rather than lie idle. Caterers are examples of businesses that might rent relevant items from home.

Transform empty space

Empty spaces that are idle and collecting dust and bugs can turn into money-making elements. Clean up any empty space and list them on Airbnb or similar sites.

Start writing blogs, YouTube content

Create content for other websites and approach YouTubers and contribute to their work for a price. However, it may be best to start a self-owned website or YouTube channel.

Find trending and engage topics to write about or make videos about, build an audience and share the content. Income will come after that.
