Affiliate Marketing
Hold up, before you cast the stone, affiliate marketing is not a Ponzi scheme as many would like to call it. It is simply some sort of marketing arrangement that allows an external website or referrals to earn money for traffic or sales of products. What this means is that as an ex Corps member, you do not have to manufacture products or create an idea from scratch. All you need to do is to sign up to platforms that allow you to be an affiliate marketer.

Online Courses
A person does not have to earn a master’s certification to create an online course. Online courses can be created from the things you are good at. They can be courses on how to bake or how to stack books. There are sites that offer to host these courses for a fee and would even go the extra length to advertise your courses if the courses are as good as you claim. These days, a lot of things sell online as long as the coaches are knowledgeable.

Coaching Sessions
While this might look similar to online courses, coaching sessions are vastly different. They are more like live sessions where Corp members guide people into the fields they are already adept with. Take, for example, a Corp member who is great with mental health, they can publish coaching sessions where they take clients through ways that their mental health can be improved.

Social Media Manager
Bill the writer of this article if this was not on the list. While the demands of the job can be strenuous, the pay is also worth it, if Corp members put two feet on the ground and give the clients the best service ever. To learn this skill, one would need a good grasp of content creation, user engagement and graphic design tools on the required app.
The one-year period of NYSC is a lot of time for people to learn a lot to the point where they can teach others. You have learnt something, teach it. That way, you have secured a way to get the bag immediately after the NYSC scheme.
