COVID-19: How I Earned N20,000 With My Smartphone In Two Weeks – Adisa Muhammed

There was a day on WhatsApp, a friend of mine posted an advert of an online free training on how to create whiteboard animation videos and link generation. I didn’t look away at the advert, so I clicked on the link and joined the training group.

After the training started, I followed the tutorial accordingly and saw it interesting. At the end of the training a masterclass was introduced and which is not meant to be free, so I have to pay the sum of N800 before I could join. Despite the fact that the organizer of the training is my friend, I didn’t ask him to make it free for me.

I saw it as an opportunity to upgrade and update my skills in graphic design. Even those who doesn’t have any knowledge of graphic designing would have something useful to learn.

Prior to the commencement of the masterclass, I talked to myself that I too can organize such a free training, so I took my time to plan and prepare for organizing a free training on how to create whiteboard animation videos and link generation as well and I created a brand for training which is STARS TECH CONSULT.

I had the believe that people would also participate in my free training as well, because my thought was that what led myself who used to be skeptical of online trainings to par adventure enrolled in one could also make others to enroll.

It was not an easy task for me then because the phone I used to create the instructional videos for the training gave me a lots of stress. The RAM of the phone was low and used to hinder the screen recording process. Some times the recording would just stop itself and got damaged, so I would only have to restart the recording and that led me to uninstall series of applications on my phone just to have more free spaces on the RAM.

I had 176 participants in the first training group, out of which only 15 enrolled in my master class. Before the master class would kicked off, I quickly organized another free training group so I could merge the master classes together. In the second group I had up to 160 participants, of which only 13 enrolled in the master class. Some where passionate about the training while some were not. There was a member who had interest in the class but doesn’t reside here in Nigeria, so he had to contact his dad who lives in Nigeria to make the payment for him.

For every journey, there used to be ups and downs along the road. When I first started I faced a lots of challenges and I felt quit as option. I expressed my challenges to my boss who has been doing his own successfully, he advised me not to give up because he faced a lots when he started at first too.

Conclusively, within the period of two weeks I was about to accumulate up to N20,000 at my comfort home, just with my smartphone. The world is becoming more and more digital everyday, many things are now done electronically; marketing, education, research business and so on. My fellow youths should use their smartphone and internet for needful things and see it as instruments which can be used to develop themselves financially, academically, and as a person.

Apex Legends is Throwing a Two-Week Fancy Party

This week, the Louvre Museum in Paris was even forced to close for a day because of its overcrowding problem. (Some union representations for the museum said tourists have stifled renovation work on the Mona Lisa, crowding them into tight, unworkable spaces.) If you’ve ever wanted to visit the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, or the Statue of Liberty, you should know now: You’ll likely run into hordes of slow-moving, selfie-stick-carrying tourists at any popular tourist attraction.

While not foolproof, there are a few effective strategies in avoiding tourists while visiting popular travel hotspots; just be sure to reserve tickets early and make use of your destination’s city-pass option. If you’re planning ahead, the easiest way to avoid the hordes of tourists is to visit during the off-season, which will vary depending on your destination.

Book During Shoulder or Off-season

In Europe, peak season is summer and off-season generally spans the months of November to March. (“Shoulder season” occurs during the transition months from peak to off-season and back). Meanwhile, Australia’s peak season happens between December and February, when weather conditions are at their best, and low-season takes place from May to August.

If you’re headed on a trip to visit the Statue of Liberty, USA Today recommends visiting during fall or winter when lines are expected to be shorter. Visiting the Eiffel Tower? You should expect wait times as long as two hours during the summer and less than 30 minutes on weekdays during shoulder and off-season, SmarterTravel writes.

Before you even book a flight, you might want to take a look at popular attractions’ availability; as the New York Times writes, tourist attractions like the Statue of Liberty—which require a ticket to visit—can book out months in advance. For this reason, you’ll want to buy a ticket as early as possible, which can usually be done online for major attractions.

There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. – Paul Tournier

You might find that some cities offer city-wide passes to visit a number of attractions, as well. Purchasing a Madrid Card, for example, will let you into a number of attractions in the city, and allow you to skip any lines. (Some cities may offer museum combination-tickets which work similarly, too.) You should research any ticketing options by doing an online search for your destination’s tourism board, for example.
