What's your own concept of the internet or online

I hear sooo many people say "everything online is a scam". Others are like I don't want to engage in anything online.

Seriously??? If everything online is a scam then stop using Whatsapp, stop using Facebook, stop using TikTok, stop using Instagram. Why??? Those are the businesses of other people running online.

Facebook for instance you do know Mark Zuckerberg makes money running ads for people on Facebook and Instagram right???. If you think he is scamming you then stop using the services of his company.

Look, you really need to sit down and then try to figure out where this our world is going to, ask yourself what the future in the next 5 to 10 years looks like.

Everything we are doing physically today, can be done online. Do you realise there are people in Cameroon who work in US but don't actually live there. I even had one of my neighbors who works here in Cameroon but most at times work from his house using his laptop.

With this in mind, I am trying to tell you that learning how to use a computer (laptop, desktop etc), technology, or even navigate your way online is very essential nowadays. If you don't know how to use a computer effectively, there are many places that does computer classes and some of them, you can pay between 10.000frs(about 57.15 steem) to 20,000frs(about 114.30 steem) to learn how to use computers.

Especially for your field of study, you have more advantage. Like for me learning computerised accounting was a big necessity and i learnt a lot that won't just help me in that field but in other things.

I use to go for computer classes where i learnt basics and even in school, it didn't just help me in GCE ordinary and advanced level but is still helping me today. Some people struggle even to use google or use some functions in their phones and funny enough they don't bother to even ask about it as long as they call and receive calls.

I wonder how some students will graduate from the university and yet they can not use a computer effectively that's why it's always said that, there's an extra education you need to undergo because it is not everything that is being taught in school.

With the limited jobs in our country due to the fact that most graduate are not competent and ready for the job market due lack of skills, good attitude and sometimes character. There are lot of opportunities for you online and by a lot i mean plenty. But we sometimes fail to make use of those opportunities because to us anything online is a SCAM.

When I tell people you can make money online daily, some of them still won't believe yet they have YouTube and Google as search engines they can make use of to verify if my claim is true. I remember telling my friend about steemit and she was like "mama first withdraw because you believe its real". Honestly i no longer stress trying to explain so much about it because its your cup of tea. Just because there are scams, it doesn't mean the real ones stopped existing.

You must have heard of affiliate marketing, Whatsapp marketing or Copywriting... Have you ever bothered to search on Google or YouTube to know what that is about???

See there are lots of opportunities in the online space, you simply need to acquire the necessary skills, get more info about them. Skills like maybe copywriting, whatsapp marketing, web designing/Blogging, content Creation/ Marketing, graphics designing/Video editing, programming, presentation/public speaking and more.

With those skills, you can make money in many different ways, alays be open to learn, make use of your search engines, put them to work.
