First and foremost apologies for any spelling or grammatical errors on such a lengthy post.
Here is a brief intro about myself. I am a 36 years old Nigerian, with no skill, wasted over 10 years working a near slave job. My monthly pay for almost a decade was around $60. I saved aggressively even to the detriment of my health and that of my family. I had to throw in the towel and quit the job. I have been working 9 - 6 everyday for such a miserable pay.
So far my savings can provide basic necessities like food, Internet bill, electricity, kids school fees, health and every other personal needs for myself, wife and 2 kids (Twins) for at least a year and 6 months (18 months). My wife has a business that generates around $80 monthly.
My goal within the next 18 months is to make at least $6000 solely from the Internet. And my startup capital for this is around $150. The greatest hurdles for me are:
1: Newbie - I am a complete newbie who doesn't know his left from his right, in Internet marketing. As such I feel so overwhelmed and lost. I don't even know what to start, or where to start from.
2: No skill - I have no single marketable skill. But I am very much ready to put in the needed effort to learn a skill, that will make me achieve my Internet marketing goals. I am very much ready to walk the talk no matter how challenging it maybe.
3: I am an introvert. My introversy is on another level . I can stay indoors and not talk to anybody for 24 hours. I am addicted to being alone. I haven't being in any social gathering in years.
4: A third word resident. Imagine living in a country where the minimum wage is less than $30. Fraud is like a normal way of life. At the mention of your country name to strangers online, their fraud alert hormones suddenly spike high. Due to the fact that your country is synonymous with various types of Internet related scams
5: Low Capital: My $150 startup capital is not even enough for a sock5 proxy subscription. It is like a drop of water on an ocean.
Even with all the challenges listed above, I believe I still have a fair chance of achieving my goals due to the following reasons.
1: Time - I intend dedicating at least 10 hours daily in pursuing my goals. Either in learning, trying out things, or networking with those ahead of me. I have secured a fairly used PC with some nice specs, and an android phone. I will be glued to these device almost all the time.
2: Less worries: Like I said earlier, all my basic needs and that of my family is secured for at least a period of 18 months. This will make me focus more on my journey, and kill that fear of worrying about where my family's next meal will come from.
3: Access to Internet and electricity - Given the erratic power issues in my country, I have managed to secure access for a 10 hour uninterrupted power supply, and an 85GB data allocation every month. Access to the Internet and power won't be much of a hassle.
In a closing remarks. I need suggestions on best routes to take in arriving at my destination. I also need honest opinions from you all. If in my shoes how will you achieve such a goal given the obstacles listed above. I anticipate you recommendations, opinions, criticism and even bashing. Thank you all as you do that.
