If you were making money on your phone, get a laptop first. Then backup power.

Get the iTel PowerGo (around 110k), and a power cord to USB-C adapter so you can charge your laptop via USB-C.

Explore places they have light to charge. A full charge on the PowerGo (not sponsored) will charge a MacBook full at least 3 times.

With that, learn a higher-income skill now that you have a laptop and power. Follow @omoalhajaabiola for tons of them, and solid skills. Grab his cold email course while at it. It's got tremendous value.

With more money, invest in the iTel PowerTank (not also sponsored) and get the MTN FibreX cos it's more stable, cheaper and almost everywhere now. A full charge (in 3hrs) gets me a full day usage without light. I put my laptop, monitor and FibreX on it.

After that, if you're a shy person, invest in public speaking, building in public, and putting yourself out there. Shoving your face down people's throats with undeniable value. Consistently. Internet rewards consistency.

Give away free stuff that actually solves people's problems, then gain their trust. And in exchange, they'll gladly give you their money.

Do this until you have a predictable flow of leads per month, conversion rate, and income. Invest in what you can (research on that), set money aside for emergency, and of course, treat yourself to some fine fine things.

Before I forget, link up with better minds than yours, read a lot of books about sales, psychology, investment, founders, innovation, etc. If there's more money, my guy, travel. Traveling opens your eyes so you'll start thinking on a broader perspective.

Then hire people to do things for you, scale higher, and make more money, all while having enough time (and money) on your hands to do the things you want.

Good luck 🙌

Whatever you do next year just make more money, or work towards making more money.

[Technical Ben @TechnicalBben]

For my newbies, save this. It may not work for everyone, but it's worth trying.

Doing this as a newbie with zero experience will make you regret life.

Painful, but true. Anyone who has ever entered the global remote space without proof knows that feeling. The confusion. The fear. The quiet tears you don’t tell anyone about. I know it because I walked that road.

At the beginning of my journey, I was throwing applications everywhere, hoping something would stick. The replies didn’t come. The silence felt louder every day. And the harsh truth slowly became clear. The international space doesn’t care about your hunger. They care about your proof. Something they can hold. Something that says you can actually deliver.

That was the first wake-up call. I had none.

So I tried to “fix” it the only way I knew. More courses. More certifications. More long nights trying to understand tools I didn’t even know how to use yet. I became a collector of knowledge, but even that didn’t move anything. I was growing, but my career wasn’t.

At some point, exhaustion pushed me into clarity. Applying blindly wasn’t working plus sending CV wasn't working, and experience wasn’t falling from the sky. If no one was willing to hire me, I needed to find another route in. Something smarter. Something that didn’t rely on luck.

That was when I realized the real door into this space. "People."

Not job boards. Not fancy certificates. "Just People."

I started paying attention to founders, small agencies, coaches, freelancers, anyone building something from scratch. They were the ones who still believed in giving chances. They were the ones who understood growth. I studied their posts. I commented with intent. I shared thoughts that added value. Not “Nice one.” Not “Great insight.” Real takes. Real opinions. Things that made people notice me without forcing myself into their inbox.

Slowly, the conversations started. First in the comments. Then in the DMs. Then on calls. Real calls. Voice. Energy. Presence. Text can be cold. But your voice can show confidence and sincerity before your CV ever does. That changed everything.

I positioned myself around people who actually hire. People who refer. People who talk. People who remember effort. It wasn’t overnight, it took me months to figure this out. It wasn’t easy. But it worked. I don't know anyone I'm just a random guy from the trenches who needed help

One random day, someone I barely even knew reached out and asked if I’d be open to a role. No long story. No impossible requirements. Just a chance. I took the interview. I got the job. Seven figures in naira. Zero experience. And they paid me even during training.

That moment shifted my life. It proved something simple. You can sit in Nigeria, work from home, and earn well. But the path is not applying endlessly. The path is connection. Trust. Proving yourself through relationships before you ever prove yourself through a portfolio most newbies don't even have a portfolio.

If you’re starting with nothing, start with people. Offer value. Do small tasks for free if you must. Build a track record. Let someone say, “Yes, I’ve worked with this person, and they deliver.” That single sentence is more powerful than ten certificates and a hundred applications.

That is how the ladder starts. One relationship. One chance. One referral. Before you know it, you begin to climb into bigger roles, longer contracts, higher pay. That was my story. One year in tech. Two years after uni. And my life changed from inside my room.

It’s possible. But only if you approach it with sense and strategies

You can do both if you can but it's always harder for a newbie with zero.

But as a newbie who doesn't have experience just certifications you want to try this.

But at the end do what works for you.

One year in tech and Building in public without a mentor or guide.

Broke ones will rise again.
