CREATE WEALTH AND STAY WEALTHY

I was having a discussion with a friend this week, and he was telling me about how he landed a gig on a freelancing platform but he wasn't going to take it because the value of work he has to do does not equate the amount he was to be paid.

I still went further to ask how much was the fee that he couldn't take the job, he said it was $50 dollars there about converting to naira that was like.....you do the maths

He still insisted he wasn't going to take the job, then I asked him how many days would you use to do the job ,he said about a week, I said to him so some offers you $50 in a week and you reject am* boss this is lockdown oo.

I then asked him how much he has made since the Stayathome, That was when he revealed the big secret.

In his words, he said I have made over 100k since the start of lockdown, infact I have a job that I need to deliver today,I would be using just 3 hours to fix the problem and the price is 50k ,so I can't stress myself over a $50 dollar job that I will do for a week.

All the hair on my body stood, and at that point I became humble, I said Boss show me the way. Meanwhile he was a web developer, so it's was very possible for him to still be getting clients even in this lockdown. That brings me to my main point.

There are skills and there are high income skills. Almost everyone is learning one or two things since the start of lockdown, my question to you is what kind of skill would be able to keep you employed even in the midst of a pandemic.

You need to learn skills that would count.You need high income skills, Some examples of High Income skills, I think you should concentrate on learning are.

2: Copywriting, Business Writing, Technical Writing
Imagine using your written words to grip the attention of thousands, compelling them to read every word until the last page.
