email marketing is what I use, making comments and post on related niche pages social app can suggest use of TikTok ,Reddit, X and thread/IG.

From my research, email marketing is the most profitable, have very high ROI, $42 potential profit for every $1 spent.

The issue I have with email marketing is $50k potential fine per violation if you send bulk email to email list(scrapped, bought, got online) that doesn't subscribe or opt in, according to CAN SPAM USA and other regulators too.

If I have traffic source to be building email list legally, It would be ideal I promote offer to the source directly,


Where/how do you get your email list?

How's experience with email marketing so far.?


I've been recently strategizing on running email marketing to promote loan offer, I have to work it out regardless of restrictions and layer of issue.

The issue is not in creating product, the issue is traffic source to make sale, asap.
Where do you post and make sales?

Majority of freelancers with skill are not making money or making little to stay in survival mode, due to oversaturation. Getting skill is minor part of the process.

How about Upwork? While you’re looking for ways to promote your product, you could also look for jobs on Upwork in the same areas—development, video editing, etc. Have you tried that option?

I've checked Can-spam rules again and I've confirmed they don't fine spammer $50k(per violation) just from sending bulk cold mail to email list scrapped, bought or downloaded, infact it's rare to get penalized.

I have email list ready, and I would try doing the promotion to the lead.

Sending bulk email to inbox require warming up setup, domain..(to avoid getting into spam folder), with delay unacceptable.

So It's better to Outsource to freelancer that have already warm up setup,

Feel free to share if you have special tip and tactics to run bulk email sending successfully, from your experience.

On up work, fiverr and other popular freelance platforms, alot of freelancer are waiting for job.
A new freelancer that just joined is basically queueing behind hundreds of freelancers that have been around for long.
Chances of getting job there is slim, chances of getting serious job that's capable of paying significant amount is slimer.

Nothing in life is guaranteed except death. So start where you are and solve a real problem.

You said you're in Nigeria. Look around you. What do people actually need? It doesn't have to be complicated. If you're good at teaching, offer tutoring. Learn a skill that is in demand. If you speak multiple languages, use that. Find a problem people are already willing to pay to solve.

Don't assume the internet is your only option. Opportunities also exist offline. If you have the means, consider looking beyond your hometown or even another country where your skills are in demand. That comes with challenges, but it is another path worth exploring.

If none of that appeals to you, then play the long game. Get a job, even if it is not your ideal one. Save consistently, invest what you can, and let time work in your favour.

Also, don't dismiss trades simply because they are not glamorous. Many countries have shortages of plumbers, electricians, bricklayers, and other skilled workers. Buildings still need to be built and maintained, and those skills can provide a stable income.

Ultimately, nobody else can decide what will satisfy you. You might reject everything I have suggested, and that is your choice. But if your current approach is not producing results, you should at least consider alternatives instead of waiting for the perfect opportunity. Because that doesnt exist in reality. Things are messy.
