It can be challenging to continue after completing junior high or senior high school, and in this case, you will still need to work to survive, earn money to continue schooling or buy a few personal items.
Today, I decided to sit and analyze and come up with ideas you can work on to earn money and prepare for the future. This article will also be important shortly, so kindly share this post after reading it.
As I said, Today, we will look at some tips and tricks or methods for making money without investment as students or after school.
For some, you might need a mobile phone or laptop and an internet connection, while others would only need your skills.
Let's Begin.
Become A Teacher.
I started teaching because it is one profession you can enter after Senior High School. All you will need is an application letter, a CV, and a hard copy of your WASSCE result. Sometimes, private schools don't need the result but your confidence and strategy to keep the class and the students learning.
In most cases, you will be given time to meet the school head for a short teaching practice, depending on what you want to teach or the class you want to handle. Then, after the teaching practice, you are qualified and given some teaching tools to get started as a teacher.
Salary is discussed after the teaching practice. Remember, when you are employed, learn how to save and manage your money.
Become A YouTuber and Tiktoker.
Yes, YouTube and TikTok are paying. You can start a niche on YouTube and TikTok, grow your channel, and get enough followers, views, and likes. Then, when you meet the recommended requirements to start monetizing on TikTok or YouTube, you can apply to monetize on them.

You can easily use those ideas to start a channel on YouTube or TikTok.
Blogging.
If you don't know what a blog is, it is another type of website on which you write posts or articles for people to read. Starting a blog is very easy when you have the right person to teach you, and that's why we are here for you.
You can create a blog on either WordPress or Blogger, write articles, and apply for AdSense or Adsterra. Anytime someone views your blog or clicks on an ad on your blog, you will get a commission.
So here is a short way to get started:
- Sign up for blogger
- Choose a unique blog name or title
- Choose a unique blog web address
- Then, change the theme of the blog and customize it
- Now, start creating friendly and catch posts based on your chosen niche. You can click here to determine what blog fits you:
- After writing more articles, click on earnings and connect AdSense or visit publishers.adsterra.com and sign up to show ads on your blog.
That's it.
Create And Sell Blogs With AdSense Approval.
While you create a blog to get AdSense and monetize it, people online also need blogs with AdSense approval. You can find them on Facebook groups, LinkedIn, or social media and sell your AdSense-approved blogs to them.
You can sell them around GH$1000+ to people who want them. You can then create more blogs, get AdSense, and continue to sell them for more commission.
Captcha And Sell.
I call it Captcha and Sell, but it is like a local affiliate marketing method. Here is how it works:
When you check the statuses of friends or some contacts, you will find them posting or selling bags, shirts, or certain items. Here is the truth: they don't own them. They go out to friends who sell those items or go to the market to locate people who sell them and capture pictures of them. Then they ask for the cost of those items. The next idea is to let you see a nice shoe and capture or take photos of the shoe. The shoe costs GH$100; you will post the images on your WhatsApp status, Facebook, or Instagram and sell them at GH$120 or GH$150. So if someone needs it and you know the seller, you will tell the seller that you have a buyer who wants to buy those shoes, so they should allow you to sell them. So you will take the shoe and sell it at your price, bring the main cost to the seller, and take your profit. That's it.
That's why I call it Captcha and sell.
Earning With Adsterra.
Yes, Adsterra is paying when you get people to view just links you share on Social Media.
Here is how:
- You first sign up for Adsterra.
- After Signing up, click on direct links and create a direct link
- Now copy your direct like and use the link shortener to shorten the link
- Now go to Facebook or any other social media that allows you to share links
- Then, create a post with a catchy or nice photo and add a link telling people or viewers to click on the link to view the image.
The moment they click on that link and view them, you will get a commission.
You can withdraw at $5 or more anytime you get more commission.
Sell Social Media Accounts.
Do you have social media accounts with 5000–6,000+ followers? Can you sell them and get a commission? If not, go online to Facebook and start informing your followers that you are selling your active account. You will notice the number of buyers who will contact you for it. Trust me, people buy social media accounts if they have enough followers and engagements.
Work For A Company.
Some companies employ youth to work for them in terms of packaging, delivery, attendant, or service jobs. They don't need you to invest before you can start working for them. You only need to see them, know their requirements, and apply to work for them.
Affiliate Marketing.
Affiliate marketing is an online business in which you select specific products from some companies or websites, and a unique link is given to you to sell them and get a commission or percentage of the cost. There is a lot of Affiliate marketing on the internet, including Jumia, Web4Africa, Safaricom, Kilimall, and Travelstart. All you need to do is join and sign up, then start showing or selling the products, and when people like those items, view the product link, and buy them, you get a commission.
Refer to A Friend's Website.
Some websites allow you to refer friends or people to join, and the moment they join, you will get a commission. Some websites want you to refer friends or people to sign up, whilst others want you to refer people, and when they sign up and make a purchase, you will get paid.
