Hey amazing folks! πβ¨ I wanted to share a little snippet of my business journey with you. It started with selling random products to my friends and neighbours (I had no specific item, today I will sell wrapper, tomorrow shoe, next tomorrow perfumes & cosmetics... In my mind I was an entrepreneur since I was getting some profits π).
Then I stumbled on network marketing which I embraced wholeheartedly... But because I didn't have the requisite skills to navigate through, I treated it like my normal buying and selling of products. In no time, everything came crashing.
As someone who has been passionate about teaching, it was a dream come true when I secured a job as a Lecturer. I felt fulfilled and thought all I needed was to concentrate on my job and get good pay... Hmmm, what I saw was a shocker π±π±
As a young academic navigating the halls of academia, I found myself craving a bit moreβmore flexibility, more financial independence, and more avenues to explore my passions.
That's when I stumbled upon the world of affiliate marketing during COVID-19. ππΈ A side hustle that didn't just promise extra income but opened doors to a whole new way of thinking about success. It helped me leverage my expertise in the digital space The skills I got to learn through it were enormous which I used to sustain myself during the 8months ASUU strike.
Here's the scoop: Diversifying my income streams through affiliate marketing wasn't just about the money (although, let's be real, the extra cash is fantastic! ππ). It was about embracing the power of autonomy and creating opportunities beyond the confines of my 9-to-5. It's a buffer, a safety net, and an avenue for personal growth. It's about taking control of your financial narrative.
π Affiliate marketing became my creative outlet, a space where I could share what I love and earn along the way. It's a journey filled with learning curves, but each curve brought me closer to financial freedom and a sense of empowerment.
So, why rely solely on a monthly paycheck? Life is full of possibilities waiting to be explored. π Don't limit your potential; embrace the side hustle adventure, and let it be your passport to newfound horizons!
