ThiThis is a $100 bill.
You can pretty much guess how much it’s worth in Naira or your currency.
The minimum wage in Nigeria is currently 30,000 or essentially $62 which simply means this
is the minimum amount an employer should pay an employee.
This single hundred dollar note, as at the time of making this video is worth 48,000
Naira.
Imagine making that much per day.
Disclaimer it’s really tough.
However, In this video we’ll talk through some things you can do to push you towards
the goal of up to $100 in a day but here’s a little backstory.
I remember the very first time I made money online from my graphic design work.
It was $500 and i had made a design for a tech company.
I was in the Bus, the BRT to be specific, and I screamed like a crazy person.
People in the bus were confused and wondering, who is this dude and why is he making noise.
Excuse me, why are you being loud.
Little did they know!
Anyway, I’m going to share everything I know and have learned from personal experience
and other people’s experiences, how you can make your first dollar online and even
go as high as $100 in a single day on the Internet.
No strings attached, no get rich quick scheme and I’m not charging you for anything.
I already made a video about how I make $500 per day and you guys watched that video like
I suggest you watch that after you watch this.
I’ll leave a link to that video in the description.
I want to say that if anyone wants to increase whatever they earn, they can tackle it in
3 ways, aggressively, defensively or both which is actually the best way to go about
If you want to increase your income situation aggressively, you’ll have to work really
hard and really smart to put it mildly.
Doing it defensively means you need to cut back on spending without planning, budgeting
and cutting costs not living above your means.
A combination of both will see you bringing forth great results and what I want to share
here are a few things you can consider on that path.
Please note that the points I’m going to mention are not some easy path to success.
They require hard work and that’s what makes people make it.
Truly.
In this video, I’ll also mention dollar amounts a lot but if you want to figure out
the Naira amount.
Simply multiply it by 480 which is the parallel exchange rate as as the time of making this

I’d love it if you could take one more step to hit that like button so more people can
get to see the analysis we’re about to share and as we always say, without #FodaAdu, let’s
get to the video.
Graphic Design
In my video on how I make $500 a day, I talked about my journey into graphic design but not
in so much detail.
I started out by drawing in school, I drew comic books and learned a couple of things
along the way.
I started out by taking courses on graphic design.
One of the first course was on Typography by Ina Saltz and I’ll leave a link to watch
it in the description.
Then I copied as many creative designs as I could find from flyers, posters and everything
I could see in Unilag back then, and I recreated them to my taste until I became better.
I later majored in user interface design as my graphic design career grew and I was able
to make over $500 to $1,000 for every design I did at the time.
It was not just a matter of how much work I wanted to put into it.
The basic point is to perfect that skill and be open to learning, a lot.
Portrait Photography
Portrait Photography is another huge way you can make more than $100 a day.
My friend Amazing Klef take some of the best portraits in the country right now and he
has even expanded his business to include shows with celebrities.
I’m not sure of what he currently charges but Amazing Klef’s portraits can be as high
as $200 for a photo and even more.
God when!
And I can snap o.
But the thing is, he perfected the skills and he didn’t stop learning, growing and
evolving.
This is the way it should be.
Now almost everyone wants to take a photo with him but he’s really booked and busy
and that would even make the charges much higher.
Speaking of using the camera, videography is one of the most lucrative sources of income
for people especially now that we are in a global economy.
Companies and business owners are usually looking for people who can tell their story
in a nice video form and you can be the person that does that for them behind the camera.
I would know because not only do I now make videos for a living, more on that later.
I used to make videos commercially for people.
Videos capture a lot more than photos would and you can form a story or narrative and
this can in turn influence people and help the creator or business owner achieve certain
goals.
You will definitely need some sort of training and YouTube is packed with free resources
and videos on how to edit, cut and export video projects.
The right software to use and even how to make videos with your phone.
One of the biggest tech YouTubers in Nigeria, Eric Okafor aka KnewKeed actually uses his
phone to make videos and has garnered over 140 thousand subscribers.
This just goes to show that it’s the story that’s important.
Wedding Coverage:
If there’s anything we love in Nigeria more than wizkid, Davido and jollof rice.
It’s weddings.
The Nigerian wedding market is a million dollar Industry.
Even statistics according to Google show that Nigerians have breakout keyword search rankings
for celebrity weddings and the latest Ankara fashion styles.
It’s a culture and it’s also a huge industry.
I’ve heard stories of wedding photographers and videographers charging close to a million
Naira for coverage which is around $2,000 as at the time of making this video and some
even way more.
I can’t imagine how much is also spent on catering, the hall and the decoration.
A friend of mine, Timmy Davies is one of the prominent wedding Videographers that I know
and he’s been able to build his business from the ground up.
He has also specialized in weddings and you just need to check out his work.
It’s very lovely to watch and very emotional.
But wow, Nigerian weddings are something.
Coding and Web Development
As someone who’s spent a better part of his life being a graphic designer, I’ve
also met a few coder friends of mine.
Some are also acquaintances and the numbers I hear, although they vary.
They are actually quite lucrative.
I remember taking a week to see how I could start putting together resources to learn
how to be a coder but my work load didn’t even allow me.
I usually still wish I could code and develop websites and apps but I know for a fact that
developers can get as high as $2,000 to $10,000 to develop 1 single app.
Also, people could even develop their own apps and push them to the App Store or Playstore,
they can develop their own websites and make money through advertising on their platform
and that way, generate sustainable income for themselves.
With the skill of web or app development you can either work for your self or for a company
and even months to finish up 1 single project.
But it’s rewarding.
Selling Assets Online.
If you feel like you want a more passive approach.
The option of selling digital assets online is one I would recommend for someone who’s
either reached a good point in maybe their creative design, photography, videography
and even coding careers.
If you can develop websites, you can take a design you’ve made and turn it into a
web theme for people to purchase on a site like Wordpress or Themeforest and make money
just by working once.
The same thing applies with graphic designers and photographers who can sell the icons or
layers of designs and photographs they’ve created on freepik, unsplash, graphicriver,
shutterstock and many many more to name a few.
Videographers can also even sell videos they’ve made or license it for a fee even on shutterstock.
The opportunity is endless once you’ve mastered something and can redistribute and the gains
quickly add up.
I know a friend of mine and a YouTuber called Em Etetim who sells presets for photography.
Even Amazing Klef who I mentioned in the photography section of this video also sells courses on
how he edits his own pictures.

Affiliate Revenue, Studying & Saving Money
If there’s anything I usually advice people to do especially if you want to go far in
your career, it’s to actually study hard about the field you’re interested in and
believe me, it works.
Not only are you influencing your mind to grow much better, you’re also learning skills
that you will apply along the way of your success.
One of the books I always recommend people read is the Millionare Next Door, this book
absolutely changed my mind about money and I’ll leave a link to where you can it on
Audible free for the first 30 days.
In one of my previous Finance Friday videos where I talked about my money mistakes and
things I wish I knew better, I was talking about how I should have started budgeting
or essentially being defensive with my spending.
I should have cut back on more stuff and the moment I did, my eyes started to open.
Anyway it was how I managed to put away some money and live below my means which in turn
helped me grow financially.
I also become the first Ambassador for Musicbed which is the service I use for all the songs
on my channel.
I can’t put a dollar value on reading and saving to be specific but it’s a whole lot
Totally.
Investing in Stocks & Crypto
Alright, I’m sure you all saw this coming, or probably not.
It’s investing in stocks from global companies and also in cryptocurrency assets.
The first video I made this year on how I made up to $10,000 with financial apps included
companies like Bamboo and Trove that help Nigerians invest in stocks from the United
States.
I know people who have also gained a lot of money this way and in fact, I know people
dollar.
By the way, if you’re Nigerian and you’re watching this.
I made a video about the why the Naira and Dollar rate is the way it is, I talked about
inflation and how it affects the economy and I want you to watch that video when you get
the chance.
If you’re in the US however, I also partnered with Webull and they were generous to you
guys who are subscribed.
So if you’re in the US and these other countries, you can get up to 2 free stocks valued up
to $1,400 if you deposit $100 with the link in the description below on Webull.
They are a very prominent trading company and they even started trading Dogecoin.
Cryptocurrency is also one of the ways people make money these days I did a video on how
you can by cryptocurrency in Nigeria but the thing is, it’s a very risky asset and there
are stable platforms that help with good interest but it’s one of the many ways people can
actually make money.
Although I personally don’t advice people to put in something they can’t afford to
lose in it.
Social Media Promoter / Influencer
There’s a joke that almost everyone with followers on Twitter is an influencer BUT
it’s also possible to Stand out in this niche.
Usually when people attain a following, say 5,000 followers they join a category that
