Getting online jobs in Kenya for students has always been a kind of a mystery to many individuals. Honestly speaking, I have never thought that earning money online is legit or even real because of the fact that the internet is made up of scammers.

I have written this post to cater to both students and also to individuals who have completed or want to enrol in the Ajira Digital Training Program and don’t know where to start. Use the articles in this website as a guide to your online endeavours.

The Rule of thumb – Avoid Distractions!

When I first started working online, I was overwhelmed, excited and confused at the same time. I didn’t know what to do, imagine having full speed internet at your disposal, you can stream and download any movies you want, watch Youtube videos, chat on Facebook etc. It took quite a time to satisfy my cravings and I ended up paying dearly for it.

Back to business, I tried so many methods for making and earning money online, registered on so many websites, bought so e-books and even tried getting tutored online to become an online marketer, which did not happen. I almost gave up and thought that this wasn’t meant for me!

Breakthrough

It was through the help of my brother and lots of serious thinking and actions that my breakthrough came to pass. I’m going to share my simple methods with you and hope that these methods will work with you too.

This information is ageless and requires patience. If you stick and play by the rules, you will be making money straight from the internet to your Mpesa account at your own pace and time.

Information is key when it comes to sports betting. If you want to be a successful panther there are simple rules to be followed. Note this rules are sure and entirely mine and have never been used before.

Rules for Sport Betting

  • Only bet when in a sombre mood and you’re able to concentrate.
  • Never bet on your favourite team because you expect it to win. #vinduvichenjanga!
  • Never bet for the sake of betting or for fun.
  • Only bet amounts that you can afford to lose.
  • Bet on singles, doubles, and triples, not more than that.
  • Avoid Jackpots
  • Always research before betting.
  • Place bets at least 5 minutes before the deadline.

I do not stick to these rules 100% of the time but when I do I am profitable and when I don’t I am not profitable which proves the value of the rules. Feel free to share yours in the comments box below.
