What I basically did to earn 1m a month, as a child of nobody, who has no connection, or mentor, just my phone, Internet and laptop.
1. Target foreign agencies in whatever niche you're in.
2. Send messages to people in your niche outside your country, your aim is to connect and build relationships not to ask for help, your referral will come in slowly lol you will be shocked.
3. Lower your expectations, and increase your outreach like mad. Why because in sales we send outreach a lot. So you're basically practicing sales in small scale.
4. Be humble, Don't think you have arrived keep learning and learning and learning.
5. Have a back up plan.
6. Post yourself online avoid negative conversation, even when people are laughing at you.
7. Learn how to communicate well and carry yourself.
8. Speak up when you need help. The worst you get is a No.
I'm 35.
At this point in my career, I know people earning ₦1m–₦10m monthly remotely and if you ask them what exactly they do all day, the answer is they over see activities.
One guy disappears for hours during workdays, goes to the gym, runs errands, attends family events and still gets "great job" from his manager.
Another works for a foreign company, travels constantly and seems to spend more time at airports than on Zoom.
Then I know brilliant people working 10-hour days, commuting through Lagos traffic and earning a fraction of that.
The modern job market is one of the strangest things I've ever seen.
The hardest worker is not always the highest paid.
Not even close.
