What could be easier than getting behind the wheel and start working as a taxi driver? And if they also charge plenty, then it could quickly become a full-fledged work. A huge plus of the app is that you don’t need to look for clients, they will find you themselves. Of course, be prepared that you have to comply with Uber standards, as well as give a certain percentage of revenue to the firm.

But how to turn regular taxi cab work into a business? It's simple. After a short period of working as a driver, you will probably be able to save some money. You can put them in one or two used cars and rent them to those drivers who are just starting their way with Uber. By purchasing a sufficient number of vehicles, you can easily stop working as a driver on your own but control the entire process.

Join research or focus group

Some people consider taking surveys an obsolete method to earn money. Do not pay attention to these phoneys. By taking part in one of these focus groups, you can get about K3118.80 in 20 minutes (the sum depends on the company that conducts the study).

During such meetings, you can get a specific product sample, watch a pilot episode of a TV show, or read various promotional materials. In the end, you will be asked questions of interest and released with money in your pocket.

What is the result? You can be proud of yourself. Your participation in such a survey just made a product offering of your store a little bit better. In Kenya, you can go to Dalberg.

It doesn’t require you to know programming languages. You just have to understand the logic of how a website works and describe in a report whether everything functions and how convenient it is. The whole process takes around 20 minutes and can bring you solid some of money per one work. If you get your hand in it, it’s possible to make 10-15 of them per day to earn even more.
