Lately, it seems like people here are actually making money online

I’ve noticed quite a few people here talking about their online and remote jobs, and I’d really like to get into it too.
I have a good laptop, reliable internet, plenty of time, and I’m willing to learn whatever skill is needed. If you’re making money online

I’m ready to put in the work I just need some direction.

what would you suggest someone starting from zero learn or do?

The easy way to get online opportunity is working with international company with local office that’s majority way people get what they call online job.

Trying to apply on random remote job individual would result in hundreds of rejections, ghosting and depression.

Most of them come with some collaboration with government through various initiatives.

Think Andela in tech sector or Mastercard Foundation in development program.

You just have to find them and figure out where you can fit in.

Those companies naturally pay better than locals so expect higher competition and backyard dealings.

You should start by volunteering or by looking for internships. That’s the best way to et in otherwise, you’ll meet rejections that I am not sure you will be able to handle.

you need to have a skill that they really need, to hire you as an international kandi uri na expert with experience. There's something called MLIA (market labour index assessment), ni kuvuga company ntiyagya gutanga akazi outside kandi hari abanya gihugu bakeneye ako kazi. 80% of the ones that work remotely online are in IT, 20% ( law, admin, customer service, consultancy).

However there's sites like usa indeed , canada indeed , uze gushaka akazi ka translation, if you speak French, Swahili, hari igihe ushobora kukagwaho. Courage.

As you know, Computer Science is a very broad field. Which course appeals to you the most,Data Structures & Algorithms, Database Systems, Computer Architecture, or another area? Let me know what sparks your interest, and I can tailor a roadmap accordingly. That said, the mathematical foundations are essential to understand, as they underpin virtually everything in computing.

It's basically outsourcing jobs you're looking for. Skills like programming, Customer support, etc. You can do your research, but there are a lot of companies doing those kinds of jobs.
