10. 5 REASONS TO MAKE SURVEYJUNKIE YOUR NEXT SIDE HUSTLE by SurveyJunkie

    There are several reasons why someone might choose to have a side hustle as an online survey taker for SurveyJunkie. Here are five possible reasons:

    1. Flexibility: Online survey-taking allows for flexibility in terms of working hours. As a survey taker, you can typically choose when and where you want to complete surveys. This flexibility is especially beneficial for individuals who have other commitments such as a full-time job, studies, or family responsibilities.

    2. Extra Income: One of the primary motivations for having a side hustle is to earn additional income. SurveyJunkie offers compensation to survey takers for completing surveys. While the income may vary depending on factors like survey length and complexity, it can be a convenient way to supplement your regular income or save up for specific goals.

    3. Low Entry Barrier: Starting as an online survey taker usually has a low barrier to entry. SurveyJunkie, for example, allows individuals to sign up easily and start taking surveys without requiring specialized skills or experience. This accessibility makes it an attractive option for people looking to earn money without needing extensive training or qualifications.

    4. Work from Anywhere: Online survey-taking provides the opportunity to work from anywhere with an internet connection. Whether you prefer to work from the comfort of your home, a coffee shop, or while travelling, as long as you have access to the internet, you can take surveys and earn money. This flexibility can be particularly appealing for digital nomads or individuals seeking location-independent work.

    5. Variety and Engagement: Participating in online surveys exposes you to a range of topics and provides an opportunity to share your opinions. This can be interesting and engaging for individuals who enjoy expressing their thoughts, providing feedback, or learning about different subjects. It can also serve as a way to stay updated on market trends, consumer preferences, and new products or services.

13. FINAL WEBINAR REMINDER: UNLOCKING HIDDEN OPPORTUNITIES IN AFRICAN PAYMENTS by Lanre at TechCabal

    

    Fintech in Africa has grown in leaps and bounds. But amidst the funding headlines, unicorn announcements, and compliance conversations, there remains a treasure trove of hidden opportunities that have the potential to revolutionize African economies. There is still a huge untapped market, after all.

    In Nigeria, for example, credit penetration stands at only around 3%. With fintechs developing alternative ways for credit scoring through the use of AI and machine learning techniques, they can take on higher-risk lending that traditional banks have largely avoided.

    Although various fintech verticals can be primed for growth, several challenges must be addressed to fully unlock these hidden opportunities in the African payments ecosystem.

    Join us on Friday, November 17 at 11:30 AM(WAT) as we explore the parallels between Africa’s fintech ecosystem and other emerging markets like Latin America and how fintech founders in the ecosystem apply learnings from these markets to fuel growth in the ecosystem in Africa.

    Kelechi Njoku - Senior Editor at TechCabal will be speaking to Wiza Jalakazi- Director of Africa Market Development, EBANX, and Juiliana Etcheverry- Director Of Strategic Payment Partnerships & Market Expansion, EBANX on the future of payments in Africa.

    Don't miss an opportunity to be part of a conversation that could shape the future of payments in Africa.
