How The Internet Has Change My Life
I started exploring the Internet intensively -five years ago, and as far as I've come from that time, I have been able to gather it's positive impact towards my development.
I'll share with my experience and I hope it helps someone out there, in one way or the other.
There's no need to argue this, take it from some who has scouted the Internet looking for something meaningful to do, excitement and legitimate ways of improving my financial status... Trust me, you're sure to get lost, cause the Internet is a very big Planet on its own.

So many things to mislead you and so many of the good stuff to guide you.
As easy and difficult as it is, I tried both; I tried paid emails, surveys, created mobile sites, lost money, lost my mind and at the end I "received sense". - I found blogging, I knew what freelancing meant, coding and the power of social media.
Take a Look at What Happened:
Blogging
My online breakthrough started when I came across blogging. In 2012, I dived into blogging and started exploring it for fun till it became a thing for passion. Now it has become a business focus. My blog has become my portfolio where I refer people to when they ask why I spend my time on the internet. I learnt my first set of codes online, basic HTML, and that has help in putting one or two things in order on my blog.

Freelancing
As a freelance Graphic designer, the Internet has been my market place. I have offered my professional advice and services to website designers on their website design projects; designing logos, icons, ad banners, Social media covers etc. Working as a freelance graphic designer on Fiverr has been an unending adventure. Trust me, it gets better.

Social Media
Someone once said and I quote, "if you spend data on social media daily wasting your time, updating status and liking profile pictures... Receive sense in Jesus name". #Lol. Buh see, with time I came to realize that most businesses are now going cyber and this gave me the opportunity to use this change to my advantage. Social media platforms are not meant for just updating status. Use those status to your advantage. Promote your business, build a customer base, build your brand... No one is actually stopping you.
Well as far as the Internet is concerned you are either making money, losing money or wasting your time. If this breakthrough story has not changed your thinking on how you can use the Internet to your own advantage, please read through again and again until it does.
The internet is such a big place that nobody can completely explore it.
ReplyDeleteMany young people should follow suit. Instead of looking for the next victim to defraud, they should use it to build the society.
No time ever spent on doing meaningful things can be a waste.
I'm glad to hear that you've used the leverage of the internet to create a space for yourself and add value to others.
The journey has not been easy but all thanks to God,i will be sharing my story soon
ReplyDelete"So many many things to mislead you and so many of the good stuff to guide you" This is my favorite line here.
ReplyDeleteOne factor that can mislead a newbie in the online world is the unending desire to get rich quick. This compells a newbie to engage in black hat activities and its likes in order to get to the top within the twinkle of an eye.
However, it is pertinent that we make adequate research, learn from the fellows who are succeeding legitimately, and of course put all we've learnt into practise.
Thanks for sharing...I learnt a great deal from this piece
Promote your business, build your customer base,build your brand......very very important, seriously the internet is much more than social networking
ReplyDeleteYou did try several things in order to acquire the cash, In the end, all the diligence and hardwork did pay off. I'm certain that there are people that also started five years ago but gave up along the way because of one disappointment or the other. There are also others from that time that are still using social networking sites just for chatting and uploading their latest selfies. I've also chosen the path of taking advantage of the many business opportunities online to make money.
