6 Ways To Make Money When You Are Unemployed

Now if you have the passion and you can write good articles and pieces then this is the way to go. Websites in an effort to be the best are looking for content creators. Some of them even pay as much as 500 shillings per article. This will depend on the number of words you write.

This is mostly seen with big companies like Safaricom, Coca Cola, Gentle and more. Some of these people earn upwards of 1000 shillings a day.
