Welcome to today's newsletter.
Last week was for Christian Tips, this week is for sharing online money-making tips.
First, I have some news that might excite you if you work with data.
Last week, Open AI - the mother company of ChatGPT released some features of the paid version of ChatGPT to free users.
This means that you can now upload a spreadsheet either in CSV or XLX to ChatGPT and ask it to run an analysis on it. And it will return a file that has the analyzed data which you can download. You can try it out if you work with data.

Talking about making money online from where you are now, a topic I started about 2 weeks ago, I have some new examples for you. I am still writing the book I told you about.
Do you know that you can make money off any phase of life you are in?
For instance, this lady Oluwabunmi Omorere has about 3k followers on TikTok talking about her experience while schooling in Benin Republic as a Nigerian.
She tells Nigerians what they like to know about the Benin Republic, while she tells Beninese what they like to know about Nigeria. Being in school in Benin is just a phase of life, she definitely will be out of there one day but she is already building an Audience with the phase.
I know you might likely think 'What would she do with just 3k followers?'
Well, there is a lot. It seems 3k followers is small compared to 1M followers some others have but it really doesn't work that way.
Some audiences are more lucrative than others. It's better to have a few followers that will convert than have millions that won't take action.
Let me break it down.
Many of the followers she has might be Nigerians who are looking to school in Benin or immigrate and the other way round. This means she can easily sell travel deals, and vacation deals to them in partnership with transportation companies and make money from commissions.
Being able to appeal to audiences from both Nigeria and Benin opens up international opportunities for her. Nigerians can consult her for feasibility studies around specific places or concepts in Benin and vice versa. Some of these deals may not be made public but they are possible.
I explained more about this in my upcoming books.
For now, let's talk about you.
What phase of life are you in?
At any phase of your life that you are in, there are people who are in that same phase of life at:
- the exact time you are in it
- or will be in the exact phase sometime after you have gone through it.
- or have gone through the same phase.
People who fall in any of these categories will need or want content from someone who has the same experience because of the following reasons.
- Learn how to overcome the challenges of the phase or find valuable lessons that can help them in the journey.
- Just experience comfort in the fact that someone else in the world is or has been in their shoes. It feels good to know you're not the weird one. That is when not being the only one like you in the world is a good thing.
- Have fun seeing hilarious ways of various ways people deal/dealt with the same situation that you (are) experiencing/experienced.
- Find something they can perfectly relate to.
- Have a glimpse into a situation they can never experience. For instance, a married man watching a woman talking about her birth experience - he can never experience that phase but it helps him understand his wife's position when she is in that phase.
So whatever phase you're in, there is a way to help others by making content from it. Even if the help you offer is in offering them humor, it is a big deal. Remember that at the center of wealth is 'solving people's problems'.
Documenting your 'phase' can help many other people find solutions or gain an understanding on what the solution is not. If it doesn't do any of that, it can also help someone see if their experience is unique or it is typical.
Once you build an audience, making money through them is easier.
