store

Sh400 billion. This is a clear indication that the sector is booming and has
got growth potential. One can create a virtual store in popular online
marketplaces such as Kilimall or Masoko and gain a wide market for their
products.

for every sale made by the website. Also, Goggle’s AdSense enables you to earn

profile. Networking with fellow writers and writing companies also enables you
to find jobs easily.

If you are not a fan of researching, transcribing is for
you. To do this online job in Kenya, you need to have good headphones, reliable
internet, and a quiet place. Before starting the job, one must take an English
test and be over 18 years of age. Transcribing is all about listening to audios
or audio-visuals and writing down what you hear. Since you get paid depending
on the duration it takes you to complete a task, the faster you are at
transcribing, the more you earn.
5. Start a vlog
This is a popular way of earning money online in Kenya,
especially among the millennials. With vlogging, one needs to have a minimum of
a thousand subscribers on YouTube to start earning. The content should also be
interesting enough to keep people glued on your channel hence get to see
adverts placed on your video. If your content is not engaging, viewers won’t
spend enough time watching; this affects the advert’s number of views, which
proportionally affects what one earns.
6. Participate in online polls and surveys
Earn money online in Kenya by answering questions posed by
research sites in Kenya, such as Paid View Point. These questions are not as
challenging as they focus on your views and opinions about a product or service
you have interacted with.
7. Earn by reviewing mobile apps
Might you be open and willing to test various applications
and give your comments? This will be one of the easiest ways to earn money

products. Therefore, you can have fun with the apps as you earn that extra
coin. Also, remember that the more applications you review, the more money you

earn online. Therefore, try the above and other methods until you find the one
that works for you. Considering the ability to work in the comfort of your
living- room, I think online jobs are among the most flexible and lucrative
