In the world today and with the present economy situation in my country one needs to have strategic financial plans, in as much as you spend money every day you also have to plan your life and finances. Gone are the days when student drop out from school or wallow in self-pity due to lack of finances. The world is digitalized today and that has made things way easier that you could work even at home provided you have an electronic gadget like the smart phone or a laptop.
As a student I had to learn how to be financially independent, I remember how I always ask my parents for money almost every day, it was not something I really loved doing but I had to, back then I do call my parents to get money for textbooks, for feeding, clothing, toiletries, transport, miscellaneous and every other thing. My parents were becoming tired of my calls every day, though they could not tell me but I could sense it through their reactions, off course I have other siblings and they also needed to be catered for.
I felt like I was a whole lot of responsibility for my parent, no one told me but I knew. I had no option but to learn how to make money to meet some of my needs rather than calling my parents for everything I need. I explored so many things, I tried affiliate marketing and so many other legal things that could fetch me some money, I was so unstable and most times I rarely had time to study I decided stop and concentrate on my studies. But I still had it in mind to do something that could help me financially and also give me time for studies.
One day a friend of mine @etorobong told me about the Hive Blockchain and how she had been writing to earn from it. I gave it some thought and I felt hesitant to do it because my friends had introduced me to so many online platforms where you perform some task to earn, which I did and after spending time to perform the task at the end I could not earn from it, it either crashed or the site refuses to open. I felt discouraged joining hive because of my several disappointed experiences, I thought it will be like all other ones I tried.
Not until my Pastor talk to me about it and persuaded me to do it and also assured me that if I have good time management I could do it confidently and still have time for studies. I had to give it a try, I joined the Hive Blockchain and I went through the communities, I was amazed at the quality of content and the supportive communities.
I was so thrilled because I learnt a lot from reading other people’s post and I felt motivated to write on things I was passionate about, I began writing on the articles I was passionate about, firstly was my introduction post and all others, to my surprise I started earning Hive tokens and I became more motivated to write the more. I started earning little by little and I will still do more to keep earning.
As I continue to pursue my academic endeavours, my side hustle with the Hive Blockchain remains a steadfast companion in my quest for financial independence.
As a student I feel this is the best side hustle to embark on because It has helped me earn passive income, I no longer call my parent often like I used to, I can now meet some of my needs, it has also helped me to learn more by engaging with people from different communities and still I do have time for my studies. I feel so happy to find this platform, it is indeed a wonderful side hustle for students like me, thank God for @uyobong for giving me the zeal to join hive and now I can write and earn some tokens to meet my needs without having to call my parents all the time.
Thank you for reading.
