What Is GMO Food? Why It Matters to Our Health and Society"

These days, many young people want to make extra money. But not everyone has a laptop or a big business. The good news is, your phone can help you start a side hustle right from your bed. Yes—just your phone, data, and a little time. Side hustles are small jobs you do apart from your main work or school to make extra money. This can help you buy things, save money, and support your family.
In a world where everything is getting expensive, having one source of income is not enough for most people. Even students, stay-at-home youths, and workers are now looking for ways to earn more. And because we all use phones every day, it makes sense to turn screen time into money time. These side hustles are simple, popular, and do not need a lot of skill or capital
1. Social Media Manager
If you are always on Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook, then this is for you. Small businesses need help replying to messages, posting products, and growing their pages. You can start managing pages for others using only your phone. You post pictures, reply to customers, and sometimes make fun captions. Start with one page, do it well, and soon, you’ll have 3–5 pages to handle for money.
2. Content Creator or Influencer
If you like talking, dancing, doing makeup, or sharing your life, then start creating content. TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts are good places. Many brands now pay small influencers to talk about products. You don’t need a big ring light or studio. Use natural light and your phone camera. The more followers and views you get, the more money and free gifts you may earn.
3. Sell Digital Products
You can sell things like eBooks, designs, wallpapers, or Canva templates from your phone. If you know how to create simple posters or write small books, you can put them online. Use WhatsApp, Instagram, or Paystack store to sell. Once you make the product once, it can be sold many times without doing extra work. It’s called passive income.
4. WhatsApp Mini-Importation Business
You can buy small items online (like phone accessories, perfumes, clothes), post them on WhatsApp status, and sell them for profit. You use your phone to chat with customers, collect money, and even arrange delivery. Many Nigerian youths now make money this way every week. You can buy goods from Jumia, AliExpress, or Lagos market sellers online.
5. Online Tutoring / Homework Help
If you’re good at English, Math, or any school subject, you can teach students online. Use Zoom, WhatsApp video, or Telegram. You don’t need a degree to start—just basic knowledge and confidence. Parents pay to help their kids with homework, revision, and schoolwork. You can also sign up on platforms like Tuteria, SabiTeach, or even just advertise in Facebook groups.
All of these side hustles help solve a social problem: lack of jobs. Instead of waiting for government or office work, young people are now creating income with their phones. It gives them freedom, hope, and a sense of purpose. Many girls now support themselves in school. Some boys even support their families—all from something that started on WhatsApp or TikTok.
The best part is—you can start today. You don’t need to be perfect. You don’t need ₦50,000. All you need is your phone, internet, and a little courage. Take one small step. Pick one hustle. Tell friends what you offer. Post it online. Share it again. And keep learning. With time, you will grow, earn more, and even inspire others around you.
Don’t let your phone use you. Use your phone to help yourself. From social media to digital products, side hustles are now a way of life for smart youths. If you want more freedom and financial peace, your phone can be the tool to start. Share this with someone who needs a sign. This is your sign.
