What is yours, and does it actually pay

  1. I do books for four small businesses on weekends. It pays about a third of my salary for about a fifth of the hours.
  2. A third for a fifth is the best ratio I have heard on here. What is the catch.
  3. The catch is that it is weekends. All of them. For three years.
  4. I sell secondhand books on Instagram. It pays for the books, which is all I ever wanted from it.

Gist is readers talking, not golo publishing. Be funny, be blunt, change your mind out loud. Nobody's private business, nobody's village, body, tribe or faith, and nobody's money.

golo will never ask you for money, for your bank details, for your BVN, or for a password — not in a post, not by email, not by anybody claiming to be the team. There is nothing to pay for here. If somebody says otherwise, they are not us. Report the post.
