How can I stop being broke in 2020? (36640 Views)

My name is David. Am a HND graduate of computer engineering with distinction grade.
I graduated recently and I have been trying to get myself hooked up with some jobs online. But, I am yet to earn any penny from them all. Although I thought of getting some skill online but, I have been limited by funds to get a laptop, which will help me a lot to acquire the skills and even engage in structured online business.
In this view I would love people to share some ideas with me, which I can implement to begin a beautiful journey to earn money online. I only have a phone with operamini freebrowsing data.
I am tired of been broke, pls help a friend.

As others have pointed out, you can learn a digital trade so you can freelance online and be your own boss. However, this takes dedication and practice. There are plenty of opportunities for graphics designers. If you learn programming, there could be plenty of opportunities for you in that area. As far as the get-rich-quick schemes online, please avoid them. I advise people to get advice from licensed financial advisors like my friend Jason Groth. To build wealth takes time, and by telling people you are broke, you may attract those trying to take advantage of you. Please be careful with the people who approach you online.

You are even more fortunate than me. My degree was B.Pharm, not easily marketable online.

So if I were you, I would start this way!

What do I know really well? Must not be much. The little you know is more than what 90% of the planet do.
Where can I find people who need this kind of information?

What sites can I go to to learn more?

Then gradually teach others what you have learnt, where they are.

As you learn more, you can make an eBook about the basics, and sell. You can easily do this in one month.

There, you can also find people who might require your skills. It might be as simple as deg a book cover, but its a start.

Make sure whatever it is you do a good job.
This is necessary so you can get good reviews for future customers.

This is not much, but its a start.

Best wishes.

To make money is simple...

Find out the pain that people have.

Provide them the solution to fix that pain...

Because they want that pain fixed, they'll open their wallet to you.

It's simple but not easy...

That's why a lot of folks are broke.

They want it SIMPLE & EASY.

No offense bro, when I read the part about you not having a laptop I thought I could gift you a laptop I have sitting around. But then I decided to check out your previous posts just to make sure you aren't trying to use style to get free stuff online and I noticed you spend most of your time on Nairaland romance and dating sections.
If you are really trying to broaden your skills and increase your online revenue, I swear you will be on fiverr, upwork and several other freelance threads right here on nairaland. If you are really determined, you can find people willing to teach you for free, some are even willing to raise money for a basic laptop to get you started but instead you spend more time on romance threads where the OP is asking for girlfriend.
My advice to you is to browse freelance threads on nairaland, facebook and whatsapp groups with like minds, take cheap classes on udemy and Lynda. I kid you not, I know several guys earning over N5,000,000 a year just on freelancing sites. You may start out making just 80k a month, but it gets better, it sure beats being dead broke.
