Have you ever been in a tight spot where you just needed to make money so fast?

Regardless of where it came from, you’d just take it and not ask questions! Have you?

Me I have been.

And my situation was so tight that if I did not get a lot of money fast, I’d lose everything.

I tried all types of loans – not realizing that each time that I was approved, I welcomed more trouble.

Months later, I was so seriously in debt that I could not even visit my favorite hangout joints or just join my friends for drinks.

Why you ask?

Because I owned every f***king person I knew.  The worst part, I did not know when I’d pay them back to regain my normal life.

It took getting a new job and a bit of frugal living to get back on my feet.

And from my experience I say – the best way to stay out of debt is to start working now. Only borrow when you have a viable repayment plan.

Otherwise, work for your money

7 easy ways to make money quickly

2. Blogging

Blogging may not be the quickest way to make money online but is the only scale-able online gig that can lead you to financial freedom.

As a blogger, you will earn money by writing promoted content for companies that resonate with your website. You can also blend affiliate links in your posts to make money when your readers take action. And/Or make money by selling advert spaces on your website or integrating ad networks like Google AdSense.

But How Much Does it Cost to Start a Blog in Kenya?

The cost of starting a new blog depends on various factors

Factors like: – if you will be doing the setup by yourself or if someone else will be doing it for you. And maybe the hosting package that you want to start with.

I started this website with Ksh. 1,599 only (recurring yearly).

My $1.5 proved to be the greatest investment because I earned back $19 within the first two weeks of inception. And I continue to earn a stable income to date.

I’m now setting up more blogs on different niches because I have already tasted the money and I know how it feels. Check out my new website at  Healthy Frankie dot com.

How Much Does it Cost To Run a Blog?

Running a blog costs nothing but time – at least 2 hours daily.

How Much Do Bloggers Make in Kenya?

Most bloggers make between Ksh. 15,000 and Ksh. 30,000; but those are the lazy ones who just set up new websites and post irregular content with affiliate links hoping to earn when God wills.

There are however blogs in Kenya making more than Ksh. 1,000,000 a month. I analyzed a few good ones and compiled my report here. Read when you find time.

3. Start Doing Online Freelance Jobs to Make Money Fast

Online Freelance jobs require no capital to start and the majority of Kenyans working as online freelancers make close to Ksh. 50,000 monthly doing what they love.

As a freelance writer in Kenya, I made $450 in my last month. Now I can make $1,000 or more writing for money.

To start working on these gigs, you’ve got to identify which freelance job you’d be good at and that you can still do with passion even when it starts getting monotonous and boring.

Here’s a list of freelance jobs that you can do from home in Kenya

1. Transcription – this online job involves the conversion of audio files into written documents.
2. Online Writing – Can be divided into different categories e.g – article writing, article rewriting, ghostwriting, academic writing, writing blog posts… name it. You may need some specialties to get well-paying writing jobs in Kenya. Read this post for free online freelancing courses.

4. Start an eCommerce Business to Make Money Fast

Hard as it is to believe, you’ll only need an operational website to start.

The rest of the things – like products to sell and where to source products from aren’t even important because:

1. You don’t need to own the products to have them on your eCommerce website; you can drop-ship or decide to only promote affiliate products from Jumia, Kilimall, and Amazon.

I also use eCommerce pages on all my websites to maximize earnings and to recommend products to my readers.

This is an example of an eCommerce from my newest website – Healthy Frankie – for fitness and wellness

Ps. If you are interested in having your own eCommerce website; just comment below this post with I want an eCommerce website and I’ll set you up for free. Just make sure you purchase your hosting from Bluehost and I’ll help you do the rest.

5. Publish Your Book on Kindle to Make Money

Everyone is a writer in Kenya.

In high school, we write composition and Insha for both Swahili and English languages. We strive and become so good that even long after formal education, we can still write interesting stories on our social networks and connect with our friends.

If you are such an individual, compile all your social media jokes or blog posts into an eBook and publish them on Kindle.

The eBook can be about anything. As long as it is valuable, people will buy it.

You will take up to 70% of the sale if you list the book between £1.49  and £6.99

6. Buy and Sell Domain Names

I have never considered domain flipping as a viable business idea.

At least not until last week when I was searching for a fresh name for my newest health and fitness website and I bumped into Helthysol.com.

It is still available for purchase – the problem is; that the person who owns it sells it for $3,495.

But, did you know that the standard cost of a .com domain is $5.7 only?

Meaning, if the person who owns healthysol.com bought it for the standard price; he’ll make over $3,489 if he sells it now.

You can also join the domain flipping business now and hope to hold a domain name that someone else wants and you’ll make a kill.

7. Make & Post Videos on Youtube

Think of any video content developer. Either in comedy, health, fitness, music, tech… name it.

Why do you think they are constantly making videos and posting on YouTube? Do you think it is because they enjoy looking funny and stupid in front of the world?

Now try to reason like a hater; why do YouTube channel owners keep pestering people to watch their videos and to subscribe to the YouTube channels?

Simply, it is because YouTube pays artists a percentage of revenue collected in advertising per 1000 views.

Your channel can earn you so much money if it goes viral; if you have very many subscribers and if the topic you’re covering is valuable.
