Good morning guys!

I'm done with politics so we return to regular programming. Today, I'm gonna share with you guys some info on a few skills you could learn to improve your self value and make money especially if you are between the ages of 18 - 35.

Thread.

I often receive dms from followers asking me advise on a business to go into or something to do. I just wanna share a few thoughts that might help you make good choices.

People sometimes say stuff like "chose something you're passionate about" but what if passion is not enough.

What if your passion cannot make you rich or wealthy?

You see, if we are honest, we all want to make tons of money and accumulate wealth. You cannot really enjoy your passion if you are hungry & poor.

So first, you must chose to do something that gives you money/pays the bills.

if you are a young man within the age bracket i specified above, learn some skills that are needed in our digital world of today. I will give you a list of some of such skills. You could learn them online and stop surfing useless websites and contents while wasting your time.

1. Go and learn Search Engine OptImization (SEO).

2. Learn Web Development.

3. Email /Digital Marketing.

4. Copywriting.

5. Graphic Design.

6. Sketch Whiteboard Videos.

7. Photography.

8. Google Analytics.

9. Google Adwords Certification.

Pick any of these skills, search about them online and learn from any of the available websites like Google, codeacademy, udemy etc.

Follow people who are already in any of these professions and are succeeding and learn from them.

You wanna learn copywriting for example?

go to @ronaldnzimora's timeline here, the info you can get there is invaluable.

I could give you more info on who to follow but I want you to do some research yourself. Put in the work...its necessary for success.

Read, study, practice, be patient, determined and focused.

You can also go thru my timeline @basilokpara, there are tweets where people talked about their businesses and hustle. Go thru them, see what you can learn from there and get to work.

Finally, whatever you chose to do, don't wait to be ready. YOU ARE READY NOW! START!!!

Thanks!

I have to add, you should also learn to package yourself very well and sell yourself here on twitter, LinkedIn and other websites. Go thru @HQawiyy’s website to learn more about selling yourself.

And there’s a lot more to learn from his timeline.

Have a great day!
