- Web Development The good thing of this is that it can’t go into an extinction. use this ASUU period to learn the basics of how websites work, front-end vs back-end, and using a code editor
Learn basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Learn tools: package managers, build tools, version control
Learn Sass, responsive design, JavaScript frameworks
Learn back-end basics: servers and databases, programming languages
I recommend doing Steps 1, 2, and 3 in order. Then, depending on whether you want to focus on more front-end or back-end, you can do steps 4a or 4b in any order.
After you understand the above you might also want to know about WordPress, maybe because people recommend it. Then check out hosting websites like Bluehost, namecheap, qserver, Hostgator and so on.
You can start learning using websites like Khan Academy, YouTube, Lynda.com and many other platforms.
2. Digital Marketing: in 2018 i enrolled a digital marketing course from google , since then i have build my agency. Digital marketing is a key skill in growing and maintaining a strong online presence. Many freelancers and entrepreneurs are tasked with wearing multiple hats. While it’s important to ensure certain areas within the digital marketing umbrella are taken care of, it’s also important to note when you may need to bring in additional help to manage important aspects of your business.
Of course, it’s not always possible to bring in experts in these areas. If you’re unable to hire a digital marketing expert, it may be in your best interests to set aside the time to become familiar with important areas that can help grow your business. You can learn digital marketing from cousera, udemy, YouTube.

4. Foreign Currency Exchange:
It is possible to make money trading money when the prices of foreign currencies rise and fall. Currencies are traded in pairs. Buying and selling currency can be very profitable for active traders because of low trading costs, diverse markets, and the availability of high leverage. Most traders shouldn’t expect to make that much; while it sounds simple, in reality, it’s more difficult. Even so, with a decent win rate and risk/reward ratio, a dedicated trader with a decent strategy can make between 5% and 15% per month.
5. Video Editing
You can definitely get a book, some software and teach yourself how to edit video. Non-linear digital editing systems are extremely similar to each other (i.e., key-frame editing, similar effects overlays, etc.). Different companies offer certification classes, and many employers require certain types of certification.
Editing video can be as simple or as complicated as you want to make it. But however complex you want the final product to be, you will find the process far more enjoyable if you take a few moments to prepare from the very beginning, preferably before you even start to record any footage.
6. Graphic Design
While you don’t need a formal education to become a graphic designer, you do need to have a solid understanding of the fundamentals. This means getting yourself primed on the principles of design, learning how to effectively use elements like color, contrast, hierarchy, balance, and proportion in your work. Graphic design is a highly competitive industry. You’ll first need to work on your company mission, long term goals and your vision. Once you’ve determined your primary mission, it’ll be much easier for you to develop your business strategy.

Although creative writing is an innate skill, it can be taught, and its techniques must be learned in order to develop as a writer. The first stages of writing are usually the most challenging because the basic elements of the story are created, which requires no imagination but rather information recollection. People generally do not like this stage, because it is hard to create something out of nothing. Creative writing is any form of writing intended for entertainment, although it may also inform or persuade. It encompasses fiction, poetry, song lyrics, scripts, biographies, and anything that combines these elements. There are number of ways to learn creative writing.

It’s OK to be scared, but don’t let that emotion stop you from acting. Record whatever you want today. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t end up on YouTube. You need to gain experience in front of the camera, behind the camera, and using your editing program. You also need to confirm whether you enjoy making videos in the first place. That realization only comes after you get started. There are a lot of things we should talk about here about YouTube, but i am sure you heard numerous things about the pay right, Yeah it is not an easy task but it is worthy, just give it a try.
