Genuine Ways of Earning Money in Dollars in Africa Online

 

 

If you live in Africa and you have access to a phone, laptop, tablet, and internet then you can definitely earn dollars on the internet.

 

In the type of world we are living in now, you would probably think that most people know how to make money online. However, so many people do not, and are missing out on all the opportunities the internet has to offer. One thing I love about the internet is how free it is, it is open to anyone anywhere

 

In this article, I'll talk about a few ways you can start making dollars online today, whether you are a student, a worker, or unemployed, with my focus being on those in Africa. As we all know, our currencies in Africa are not the strongest, so it is always safe to earn your money in dollars.

 

Make certain to read this article to the end since you may very well find an open door sitting tight for you.

 

1. Invest your money in US Dollars

 

 

As I stated earlier, because of the uncertainty of our currencies in Africa, the best thing to do is invest your money in stable currencies like the dollar, pound, euro, etc. This helps you to not be so much affected by the depreciation of your currency or inflation.

 

There are new companies that give individuals in Africa the opportunity to save and invest their money in dollars and thereby earn interest in dollars. Some of them are Bamboo, Crowdyvest, ARM investment, etc.

 

 

2. Make a blog

 

 

Blogging is basically writing about what you love or are interested in, you could blog about so many different topics like cars, food, clothes and so much more

 

With blogging, you can start with free websites like Blogger, Quora, or Vocal or you could go with paid options where you just have to buy a domain name for about $12 depending on where you buy your domain, and also host your blog for around $150, then you can begin distributing content. The hard work of building a blog is getting traffic, a constant stream of guests coming to your blog.

 

If you want to earn money while blogging, you have to know how to optimize your website so that it ranks higher in Google searches, you can also get money from allowing ads to be displayed on your blog, and thirdly, you could promote affiliate links on your blog and anytime someone buys something using your link, you get paid.

 

Let us be honest, in order to build a successful blog requires time and a lot of it. But if you are patient and consistent, you can make a lot of money from a blog.

 

 

3. Become a freelancer

 

 

Fiverr just conducted research which found out that a lot of businesses have increased their interest in hiring freelance workers ever since the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

So if you have any skills like graphic design, data analysis, transcription, and many others, you can offer these skills or services to businesses in other countries in America or Europe all from the comfort of your home.

 

With freelancing, there are many freelance websites that you can sign up for and start earning right away. It is best to find a niche that is not too competitive when starting so you can get clients easily and build up your reputation. The more good reviews you have, the more work you will get and the more money you make.

 

 

4. Begin a YouTube channel

 

 

YouTube is one of the biggest platforms out there and it can be very intimidating to start a YouTube channel and this is understandable because of the amount of competition. However, despite this, YouTube is still a great way for you to earn dollars if you know what you are doing. Creating a YouTube channel is so easy, you probably already have one.

 

There are many African YouTubers who are making a lot of money from YouTube and you can too. All you need to do is be creative and make videos that you think people want to watch, and they can be about any topic at all, keep your videos short and straight to the point and try to target a small niche to build your first loyal subscribers. You don't even need to be in the videos, you can post no-face videos, voice-over videos, funny videos, etc.

 

When you are able to get a decent amount of views on your videos, YouTube will begin to show ads on your videos and they pay you for it, it's that easy, the more views you get, the more money you make. And if you have any affiliate links, advertise them on your channel to generate even more money.

 

I know YouTube is quite daunting, but if you have the determination, consistency, and patience, you can make a lot of money from it.

 

5. Selling digital products and services

 

 

One thing I love about digital products is the fact that you make it just once and then you can sell it over and over again, doesn't that sound great? It's such a good way of earning passive income. With so many websites online, you can sell different digital products to people anywhere in the world. Here are some examples, digital templates, courses, eBooks, stock photos, pdf downloads, and many more.

 

Some digital product websites are Shopify, Sellfy, Etsy, etc. So if you are interested in doing little work and being paid for it multiple times, then selling digital products is for you!




The truth about making money online is that you are not going to unless you actually start, so stop searching endlessly looking for the perfect or easy thing to do, and just start. You can start small and stay consistent with it, set aside at least one hour every day towards whatever method you choose, and before you know it, you will be making a good amount of money in dollars, online. So many are already doing it and you can too. Make the most of the open doors looking straight at you. Don’t procrastinate any longer, START NOW!
