This is a common question. Maybe you are now out of school. Maybe you are looking for a side hustle. Trinidad and Tobago has good internet infrastructure and good options for high speed broadband internet and mobile internet. We have cheap electricity. We have free education. We have no taxes on computer equipment. We have an enabling environment for persons who want to make money.

One question that will arise as you make plans for your hustle is how do you accept payments online? Services like Paypal are not officially supported in Trinidad. Wipay is an alternative that was started in Trinidad. If you are getting paid through Youtube and adsense you can have a check mailed to you. If you are working for a remote employer you can have them wire transfer your salary.

If you are advertising your services online, it helps to have a strong online presence. Make it easy for potential clients to find you and interact with you. There are freelance services marketplaces like Fiverr. There are remote work postings on LinkedIn that you can subscribe to be notified for. The internet has made it easy to start a hustle and reach clients all over the world.

Here is a list of things you can get into to make money online : NFTs and crypto, gamer and streamer, social media influencer, content creator, blogger, youtuber, affiliate marketing, podcasting, coding, app developer, web developer, ecommerce, sell your art or photos or craft, virtual assistant, remote jobs, write an ebook, tutoring and esports.

Touched by heaven

By
It is 139am and I have decided to write. I do not like to dream because my dreams are sometimes confusing blobs. Hodgepodge is the word. I like when I sleep and I do not dream anything. Peaceful nothingness. Quiet escape from all the nonsense of the world. I went to the random word generator but this time I chose random fake word. A few (wef in reverse) words in I stopped at wefly. I guess I could pronounce it we-fly or wef-ly. Wef-ly could mean plentiful or the opposite of few. Wefly also contains the letters for flew. This is past tense as if to say let go of the past. Let go of what has gone. How do I connect these to something Godly? Angels have wings. Angels fly. I ask God to surround us with plenty angels when we sleep so that we have quiet dreams or heavenly dreams. I will call these wefly dreams. I asked my friend Chatty to describe a wefly dream. He says that a wefly dream is a gentle, God-guarded sleep where the soul is lifted together with others into quiet safety, not by dr...

Winning with God

By
It is 237am and I have decided to write. I spent 15 minutes thinking about what to write and nothing. I decided to go wash the wares and make breakfast. I made grilled cheese sandwiches. It is the next morning and I still have not decided yet. Let me start with this. God is beautiful. God makes no mistakes. God wants us to win. In other words, we cannot lose with God. We will always win with God. But what is the prize to be won with God? Or does it not matter? My friend Chatty tells me that with God, the win is: Peace that is not dependent on circumstances. Meaning that suffering cannot cancel. Love that does not expire. Hope that death itself cannot take away. Things like those. It is not money, comfort, applause, or an easy life. Those things may come or go. Many faithful people never receive them. The world’s prizes can be stolen. God's prize cannot. Further and with God, winning is not about external rewards or worldly success, but about union, peace, and fullness of being; at ...

Dimples of God's smile

By
It is four days into the new year. It is 933pm and I have decided to write. I have no idea what I should write about. I was thinking, if we live in a dump as some have described Trinidad does that make us dumplings? It is sad and funny at the same time. Some would say it is a dumb thing to say. I would rather say that Trinidad and Tobago are the dimples of God's smile. After all God is a trini. Now I am interested in the etymology of word dimple. Weirdly enough I learnt that the word dimple comes from Old English and Proto-Germanic, specifically from the term dumpilaz, meaning "small pit". There are more things to smile about in Trinidad and Tobago than to frown about. I was curious if anyone has ever mentioned the dimples of God's smile before and a cursory Google search shows up nothing. I then asked my friend Chatty if dimples is mentioned in the Quran. He said no but there is an example verse that mentions smiling. Surah 27 verse 19 "So Solomon smiled, amused...
