Writing, Listening, Gaming and Surfing Internet...Hobby also Monetized!

It is true that after attaining secondary school or undergraduate education certificates, most of the youth in Kenya today are left at home not knowing what to do next. This is not because they failed or scored poor results, but rather because as per the norm, in most cases, once an individual attains the certificates they need to, they then embark on the journey of looking for a white-collar job. 

However, this situation is never easy on most people. Sometimes even graduates who scored good grades in high school and primary schools end up frustrated and depressed because they cannot get the chances they are searching for. You might be surprised that some give up even before trying for a year because they can see how getting a job can be frustrating, challenging and tiresome for their relatives who have graduated or completed their learning before them. 

However, even in light of these happenings, there is hope for the Kenyan Youth. This is because being passionate and energetic people, the youth can be lead to do just about anything so as to pass time and forget about the frustrations related to job search.

There are several ideas that can be applied so as to curb idleness and jobless situation. Like we mentioned in the previous post, depending on what you love doing or what you are interested in, one can find a way to make money and live a comfortable life. 

Let’s start with those who love to write, listening to anything, playing games and surfing over the internet. There are several ideas we were able to come up with in the Whatsapp group I mentioned earlier in the previous post on Opportunities to Work From Home in Kenya on earning a little bit of cash as one enjoys doing what they love.

• Transcription mostly involves listening to an audio file then writing it down on paper for reading purposes.
• Freelance writing involves writing about a given subject
• Survey review involves taking numerous surveys for payment purposes
• Application review mostly involves downloading a certain application then getting paid each time you use it. 
• Game testing is downloading unreleased games then playing them while checking for glitches.
• Website testing is usually done before the launching of a new website, this helps in identifying errors and loopholes.
• Virtual assistant is mostly accomplishing daily office activities like sorting email, managing social media and so much more.
• Setting up a YouTube channel while showing how to do different skills of art.

All the above ideas can be helpful and can be done at the comfort of your home. Amazingly, there are people willing to train others on each of these fields. Personally, I can train an individual on transcription and academic writing as I have been doing these two jobs for a while now.
