Just
admit it, the internet is the new ruler of this era. And it is now
very easy to get online work in Kenya
Why
such a bold statement?
I
have been under its rulership for over a decade; and it has been a
happy one. In fact, 75% of my income comes from the relationship I
have with the internet. In business, and in writing
Do
not ignore the red blinking banners.
It’s
a deep sea; this Internet. Ignore the guidelines and you will end up
in the alimentary canal of a big WWWF (worldwideweb fish).
Before
you take out your gadgets and start coming up with passwords for that
online work website that popped onto your social media page, take
time to learn what working online is all about.
It
is one area where someone somewhere will always know better than you
do.
And
some of these want to make a quick shilling out of someone elses’
eye torture.

can I learn this stuff?

My
favorite site about online writing in Kenya is http://freelancerkenya.com. The

Why
are no jobs coming my way?
It
happens, all the time.
Writing
online depends on, bidii ya mtu (your own efforts).
Don’t
sit at your computer chatting away and expect that friend that has
been on this job for long will send you alerts. Get onto the writing
sites, sign up, bid for jobs, go through those writing tests, and
constantly enquire about jobs on writing sites. Kuhustle
proper.
