Nico Williams reveals the real reason behind his refusal to join Barcelona

 Spanish media have uncovered a significant reason behind star Nico Williams’ decision to reject a move to Barcelona during the summer transfer window of 2024. Barcelona had prioritized Williams as a key target to bolster their squad this season, but President Joan Laporta was unable to finalize the transfer.


According to Williams’ statements to the Catalan newspaper “Sport,” he declined the offer to join Barcelona due to concerns about the club’s financial instability and the challenges facing Laporta. The report also mentioned Williams’ apprehension about potential complications with his registration, given the club’s issues with financial fair play regulations.


Nico Williams revealed that he was willing to join Barcelona and had communicated this to the club’s sporting director. However, he requested a guarantee for his registration in the team’s roster, a condition that President Laporta and sporting director Deco could not provide. As a result, Williams chose to stay with Athletic Bilbao for the season.

The newspaper also noted that Barcelona’s summer transfer window concluded with the acquisitions of Pau Victor from Girona and Dani Olmo from Leipzig, Germany, for a combined total of 60 million euros

The Top 15 Wrestlers of All Time

 

15. Chris Jericho

From Mexico to Japan to ECW to WCW to WWE to, now, AEW, Chris Jericho has been wrestling at a marquee level for 34 years. AEW cohort Dustin Rhodes has him beat with 36 years, but Jericho still wrestles weekly. Against top competition. He's no part-timer. Exceptionally talented in all aspects of the business, from the mic to the mat, Jericho has kept himself uniquely interesting by reinventing himself every few years. Whether he's the Lionheart, the Man of 1004 Holds, Y2J, the Best in the World at What He Does, "You Just Made the List" Jericho, the Painmaker, or Le Champion, Jericho is an innovator in the ring and out. 



14. Randy Orton

It's hard to believe that this popular third-gen veteran was once the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in history, but "Apex Predator" Randy Orton, a WWE "lifer," has managed to turn his cold, calculating persona, and occasionally plodding wrestling style, into gold. Not only does "The Viper" have multiple world championhips and legendary feuds with Triple H, John Cena, and The Undertaker under his belt, but his "RKO" finisher still gets one of the biggest pops around. A move that can be hit out of nowhere, and creatively so, the RKO, like the Stunner before it, is guaranteed whenever Orton hears the voices in his head. 

13. Eddie Guerrero

Gone too soon, from acute heart failure at age 38, Eddie Guerrero was a brilliant, expert performer who worked Japan, Mexico, ECW, WCW and the WWE -- capturing the hearts and minds of audiences wherever he wrestled. 

The youngest and most successful of the legendary Guerrero brothers, "Latino Heat" lied, cheated, and stole his way into our hearts, eventually cementing his legacy by defeating Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship in one of the greatest underdog matches of all time. A hero and inspiration to Sasha Banks/Mercedes Mone and countless others, Eddie was a one of a kind talent who'd sadly only scratched the surface of his career when he passed.

VIVA LA RAZA!

We miss you, Eddie. 

12. Randy Savage

"Macho Man" Randy Savage -- with his stringy hair, giant sunglasses, bandanas, bedazzled jackets and robes, and gravely, insane voice -- is one of the most instantly-recognizable and magnetic performers the wrestling world had ever seen. Savage was a timelessly off-kilter character whose look, matches, and promos transcended the industry, and with the lovely Miss Elizabeth at his side, he was also part of of wrestling's premiere power couple. As an athlete, Savage's arial arsenal and Flying Elbow Drop still influence wrestlers today. Once one half of the Mega Powers, Savage's WrestleManias were next level, whether he was winning the title from Ric Flair, losing the title to Hulk Hogan, or putting on a clinic with Ricky Steamboat.

11. Kurt Angle

This freakin' Olympic Gold Medalist took to the business faster than any other "outsider" had before him, quickly becoming the biggest, most exciting talent in WWE. Kurt Angle is one of the most technically sound pro-wrestlers ever to lace up. He could do it all, from astonishing matches with the likes of HBK and Brock Lesnar to some of the funniest backstage comedy bits in history. Angle could fill any role and shine brighter than the rest. The original Mayor of Suplex City, Angle could work as a killer or a clown and his Ankle Lock, including all the imaginative ways he could slap it on, stands as one of the best submission holds ever. 

There's no one we'd rather ironically scream "You Suck!" at while his entrance theme plays. 

10. Hulk Hogan

THE hero of the '80s, and THE villain of the '90s, Hulk Hogan's history in the business is undeniable. Without Hogan, wrestling would never have soared in popularity, and pop-culture crossover appeal, during two crucial booms for the industry. First, he captured a Rambo-loving nation's hearts and minds with "Hulkamania" and a prayers/vitamins superhero persona. Then he led the NWO, as wrestling's main bad guy, into an era of "cool heels" -- forever making it more difficult to be a babyface. And a pure heel, for that matter. 

Hogan, for good reason, is not a welcome presence these days, but for 20 years he was the most recognized wrestler in the world and his previous mass-acceptance and enormous popularity birthed WrestleMania, the wrestling Pay-Per-View, and the very idea of wrestling merch selling like hotcakes.

9. Sting

Having just retired from the game at age 65, after a few death-defying years in AEW as Darby Allin's cool goth uncle, "The Icon" Sting is one of the few guys on this list who wasn't a WWE guy. Not that he didn't have a later-in-life WWE run, complete with a marquee 'Mania match, but it wasn't all that great and it easily takes a big fat backseat to his work in WCW, TNA, and AEW. 

Many of the wrestlers on this list are here because they managed to make themselves relevant for decades, and Sting's one of the few who was able to radically shift his gimmick -- from buff, bleach-blonde Venice Beach surfer to brooding, mallgoth Crow-like avenger -- which allowed him to become the hero WCW needed when the NWO storyline was running roughshod over most everyone's enjoyment. Sting forged his own path and his battles against Flair and The Four Horsemen, The Great Muta, Cactus Jack, Rick Rude, Jake Roberts, Vader, and Lex Luger represent the best of WCW. 

8. Triple H

Triple H was always respected as a wrestler, having worked his way up from being WCW's Jean Paul Levesque and the WWF's Hunter "Hogpen Match" Helmsley to the leader of Degeneration X -- to shattering the main event scene as "The Game." As a devilish "cerebral assassin" heel or as a badass babyface, Hunter easily delivered a Hall of Fame career full of accolades, titles, and memorable moments. But it was his work in NXT last decade, his mind for the business and booking, that really showed everyone his truest self. For the first time, with the soaring success of NXT, fans saw someone who could lead WWE into the future. Someone who was as big of a fan of wrestling as we were and knew how to spot talent, no matter their look or style. He was formidable as a performer but he's even better as a mentor. 

7. John Cena

"Let's Go, Cena!"

"Cena Sucks!"

In 2005, John Cena became the WWE franchise player. One of the most hard-working and incredibly gifted performers the company has ever seen, Cena rode a polarizing wave through his career, determined to be a bright, inspirational Golden Era-style light in the edgelord darkness that remained after the Attitude Era (and still persisted in a big way through the Ruthless Aggression Era). 

It's strange to think that someone so criticized for his ring work could have absolutely epic encounters with HBK, Punk, Orton, Edge, Jericho, Triple H, AJ Styles, and The Rock. It's almost as if, you know... he's actually magnificently talented. Known for his super strength and superhuman recovery time from injury, Cena has now found a strong footing in Hollywood after being allowed to do comedy, which only wrestling fans were aware was his superior skillset. Even today, in sporadic appearances, Cena is WWE's unflinching, uncompromising hero. 

6. Ric Flair

To many fans and wrestlers alike, "Nature Boy" Ric Flair IS professional wrestling. This limousine-ridin', jet-flyin', kiss-stealin', wheelin' dealin' son of a gun was the embodiment of rich-guy privilege and heel bravado for decades, with promos (and custom suits) sharp enough to cut glass. Flair was the measuring stick and for decades he was arguably the best wrestler alive or dead. Borrowing Buddy Rogers' packaged gimmick (robes, hair, Figure Four Leglock and all), Flair perfected the art of the wealthy, playboy villain and popularized the concept of the "cool heel" wrestling stable with The Four Horsemen. He was the top technician, cheater and bleeder in the game and it's hard to find a single wrestler out there who doesn't say that he was one of, if not the best, of all time. 

WOOOOOOOO!

5. Bret “Hitman” Hart

After Bret Hart beat Ric Flair for the WWE Championship in 1992, the entire industry shifted, re-setting the WWF back to the days of technical wizardry while also reshaping all our notions and expectations of what a great wrestling match could actually look and feel like. Big monsters were out and smaller guys (who were actually still quite large) were in. You didn't need to be great on the mic, just a righteous ring general with a hundred moves at your disposal. 

It's hard to think about the "Hitman" without also reflecting on the tragedy that's befallen the Hart family over the years -- including Bret's own premature retirement due to a concussion suffered in 1999. It would have been amazing to see Bret's career extend on into the new millennium but despite having his ring career cut down in its prime, no one can take away a single ounce of acclaim for "The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be." From his time as a Tag Team Champion with Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart to his storied singles career, Bret truly was the "Excellence of Execution." 

4. The Rock

As we're currently experiencing a big time Dwayne-naissance leading into WrestleMania 40, with Hollywood Rock now back in an even bigger Hollywood way (he actually has two decade of hit movies instead of... one), let's celebrate the jabroni-beating, pie-eating, high-flying, electrifying People's Champ. 

The Rock was a ton of fun in the ring, and while maybe not a master of the mat classic, he's still given us some truly memorable showdowns with Triple H, Undertaker, Jericho, Hogan and Cena. But Rocky's best asset, and the number one weapon in his arsenal, is his ability to entertain his millions (and millions!) on the mic. Once Rock steps through those ropes and grabs the microphone, you know you're in for a legitimate, hilarious, instantly-quotable treat. The Rock has charisma to spare, so much so that it not only made him the biggest star in wrestling but also in Tinseltown. He only wrestled regularly for eight years but, like Steve Austin, and Indiana Jones, it wasn't the years -- it was the mileage.

3. Shawn Michaels

"Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels created art in that ring. He was a gifted performer who, in an era that was transitioning from six-foot eight superheroes to smaller, faster dudes, took wrestling to athletic heights never imagined. And it was almost all over for Michaels in 1998 (much like it was for his '90s nemesis Bret Hart in '99) when he retired due to two herniated (and one crushed) discs in his back. But HBK returned to the ring five years later and faced Triple H at SummerSlam, having not missed a single step. 

No one sold agony, heartache, or triumph in-between those ropes like HBK. Michaels raised the bar for the entire industry with each match and only Michaels could warrant monikers like "The Showstopper," "The Headliner" and "Mr. WrestleMania." He helped create both the the Ladder Match and Hell in a Cell while also forming the legendary Degeneration X, and today he works at BFF Triple H's side, having taken over the reins of NXT. A career genius in the ring, HBK will always be top of the bill. 

2. The Undertaker

Easily deemed the best gimmick in all of pro-wrestling -- past, present and future -- The Undertaker was a perfect storm for the business, a sensation like no other. From his debut at Survivor Series 1990 to his long string of battles with fellow '90s monsters to his WrestleMania streak and unparalleled matches against HBK, Edge, Batista, and Triple H, Undertaker's mere presence has always made jaws drop. 

Whether it was his spectacularly chilling and methodical entrance to his astonishing cruiserweight-style moves (he's 6'10"), no one put on a show like Taker. He'll forever be one of the most respected wrestlers, and characters, in the business, treated with actual reverence. Finally retired now after 30 years, Undertaker has delivered some of the most entertaining and dramatic matches of all time.

1. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin

Let's travel back to the time of beer baths, middle fingers, and mayhem!

It could have been all over for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in 1997 after a career-busting neck injury but -- and this is definitely "Hell Yeah!" worthy -- the Texas Rattlesnake would go on, from there, to became the most popular and profitable wrestler in WWE history. 

Even with, or even partially due to, an altered wrestling style, Stone Cold shot to the moon. Austin went from technician to tornado, from grappler to ass-whipper, and his feud with Vince McMahon put WWE RAW back on top, after losing to WCW's Nitro in the ratings for almost two years. While WCW had the NWO trample over everything as their new authority, WWF had Austin as a violent agent of chaos, fighting for the little guy, raging against his boss and insurmountable odds in order to put authority in its place.

Like The Rock, Austin's wrestling career wasn't a long one, but stars that burn half as long tend to burn twice as bright. Austin was such an unapologetically malicious wild card that the late '90s anti-hero loving fanbase began cheering him over Bret Hart, leading to a complete role-reversal. From there on out, it was Stone Cold Stunners for everyone! Vince! Shane! The Rock! Announcers! Referees! Foley! Foley's favorite home invader Santa! When you heard the glass break, you knew a beatdown was imminent. Even when Austin returned, for one final match, at WrestleMania 38.

The Beautiful Game: A Journey Through Football's Rich History

 Introduction:

Football, often referred to as "the beautiful game," has captured the hearts and minds of millions around the world. It's a sport that transcends borders and cultures, uniting people in the pursuit of one common goal - victory. In this article, we'll take a journey through the rich history of football, exploring its origins, evolution, and its enduring impact on society.

**The Birth of Football:**
The roots of football can be traced back to ancient civilizations. Games resembling football were played in China, Greece, and Rome as far back as 200 BC. However, it was in England during the 19th century that modern football began to take shape. The Football Association (FA), founded in 1863, established the rules that form the basis of the sport today.

**Football Evolution:**
Over the years, football evolved from a rough and chaotic sport into a well-structured and highly organized game. The introduction of offside rules, the penalty kick, and the refinement of the ball itself made football more accessible and enjoyable. It didn't take long for football to capture the imagination of fans worldwide.

**The World Cup Phenomenon:**
In 1930, the first FIFA World Cup took place in Uruguay, marking the beginning of an international football spectacle. The World Cup has since become the most-watched sporting event globally, featuring legendary players and memorable moments that have left a lasting legacy in the annals of sports history.

**The Modern Game:**
Today, football has grown into a global phenomenon, with numerous leagues, clubs, and players who have achieved celebrity status. The UEFA Champions League, the English Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A are just a few of the elite competitions that showcase the world's finest talent. Players like Pelé, Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo have become household names, elevating the sport to new heights.

**Football and Society:**
Beyond the pitch, football has a profound impact on society. It fosters a sense of unity and camaraderie among fans, regardless of their backgrounds. Football has been a platform for social change, promoting important causes and raising awareness about various issues, from racism to environmental sustainability.

**The Future of Football:**
As we look ahead, football continues to evolve, with advancements in technology, sports science, and fan engagement. The sport's global appeal shows no signs of waning, and it is likely to remain an integral part of our culture for generations to come.

Conclusion:
Football is more than just a game; it's a shared passion that unites people worldwide. Its history is a testament to the enduring power of sport to transcend boundaries and bring people together. As we continue to celebrate the beautiful game, we look forward to the exciting developments and milestones that await in football's bright future.

Lionel Messi injury latest update: when will he return?

If patience is indeed a virtue and the seventh-highest order of the ninefold celestial hierarchy, then Inter Miami fans can start getting ready for a divine intervention. Lionel Messi has been tied to the sidelines of Chase Stadium’s pristine pitch like a chained dog salivating at the dropped biscuit just out of reach. Now it seems like his return is right around the corner.

Calling his absence long-awaited is both an understatement and an exaggeration at the same time: many players are out for much longer than Leo but waiting for such a talent, such a joy, such a figure of worship has been, at times, painful for Miami fans. 

Inter Miami want Messi return within 2 games

The consolation of the fact that the rest of their players are indeed quite good has helped but nothing will compare to the feeling when the number 10 shirt is finally flitting around the pitch sprinkling the magic dust that is well overdue.

The latest reports say that Lionel Messi is now ‘in the final stages’ of his recoveryfrom an ankle injury sustained in the Copa América final and that Inter Miami hope to have him back in their match day squad in a time window that spans over the next two matches. The club want him to ideally play a role in one of the next two games in the schedule, with Gastón Edul being the latest to report such information. 

Messi leaves the pitch after picking up an injury during the 2024 Copa América final.

Of course, his participation in the games (against Philadelphia Union and Atlanta United) will undoubtedly be hugely limited, but the boost that Lionel Messi’s presence in the team will give his teammates, the fans, the coaching staff and the state of Florida will be crucial for the final part of the MLS 2024 season


After 27 games played Miami have scored 62 goals, with Suárez, Alba and Busquets participating heavily alongside other talismanic figures such as Matías Rojas and Diego Gómez. As things stand, Messi-less Miami are top of the pops in the Eastern Conference table, with 59 points compared to FC Cincinnati, who sit on 51 points. Adding an 8-time Ballon d’Or winner to the mix can’t be a bad thing.

How to Become Rich with No Money: 15 Practical Steps

How to become rich with no money? Ever heard the phrase, “you need money to make money”? Well, that phrase is not always true as it is very possible to become rich with no money.

There are no doubts that past events shape the future of a man but with every choice, he makes in the present based on challenges he faces; he creates his future.

Will you be rich or poor? Discipline, perseverance, consistency, and creativity are some factors that separate the rich from the poor. This article will take you on a journey that will have you questioning some of your previous decisions and making better ones shortly.

It sounds ridiculous teaching how to get rich from nothing right? I mean, there are blogs on how to get rich quick, several ways to get rich, secrets to getting rich, and many more. But you’d hardly see articles on the internet bothering on how to get rich starting from nothing.

In this article, we will be looking into tips on how to become rich with no money. Before your wealth arrives, there are some behaviors you should internalize. In other words, some behavioral changes should be a part of you as they would prepare you and teach you how to manage your coming wealth.


Let’s have a look at some of these changes:

  1. Have Healthy Habits

Your desire to get rich without money adds to your list of already existing stress factors and when you don’t have a healthy lifestyle, it creates more problems. You should eat well and exercise regularly: it is only with good health and long life that you can enjoy your riches after all “Health is Wealth”.

  1. Be Self-Disciplined And Have The Right Mindset

Being self-disciplined will enable you to get tasks done even when you’re not in the mood and there’s no one there to motivate you. It is also important for you to always be able to get into the right frame of mind before carrying out any task as your mind is your greatest asset.

  1. Have A Vision

Your wealth begins with your vision. Your vision is the dream that spurs you to be a better person, a wealthier person. You should have dreams that push you to create better ideas and to be consistent in your work. Your vision should not just be getting rich, but it should be related to the endpoint which is what getting rich will do for you.

  1. Keep Learning

Never stop learning. Always read, listen to audiobooks, and adhere to the advice given by your predecessors. It will help you avoid their own mistakes and teach you things that would have been difficult to learn on your own and this will enable you to achieve your goals faster. Also, always keep an open mind when learning, what may help you strike gold may be something you learned a long time ago.

  1. Pursue Market Opportunities

This simply means that you should always be on the lookout for small gigs or side hustles related to any skills you may have. Be willing to take risks and make mistakes.

How to get rich quick
Doubting the possibility of getting rich while starting from nothing is normal and while it is very possible to become rich, it is also not an easy feat. But if you are willing and consistent, there are things you can do that work.

Things You Can Do To Become Rich With No Money

  1. Use Your Skill(s)

This is one of the most important things you must know in your journey to know how to become rich with no money. A lot of people possess skills that are well sought after and that can be monetized but because they don’t believe their skills are needed, they let them go to waste. People who want to become rich believe in creating their opportunities.

For instance, if you are skilled in crochet weaving or pottery making you could make some items and sell them to your schoolmates or friends; if you are good with makeup you could become a makeup artist for a studio or even a movie set; if you have the patience to teach you could also become a tutor and teach people your skills without even practicing.

As you can see, the possibilities are endless, you just need to figure out what skill you have and what you want to do with it.

  1. Develop New Skill(s) And Knowledge
    how to get rich starting from nothing
    Jim Rohn, the wealthy entrepreneur, once said, “Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.” This is candid advice for those who claim not to have a skill.

There are a lot of courses and programs on the internet, some free and others to be paid for, that can teach you a skill. Most of them even offer certificates and you can get all of these from the comfort of your home.

There are also a lot of new skills in high demand currently, skills like coding, digital marketing, brand strategy, web development, and many more.

You just have to do your research, find the one you’re most interested in, and learn it. This also applies to people who already have a skill. Technology has made a lot of things easier; therefore, some skills that were highly sought after in the past are now regarded as obsolete. Constantly developing new skills and acquiring knowledge will help you move with the changing times.

  1. Start Your Own Business

Understanding how to become rich with no money depends on how best you can throw around your creativity.

If you wish to start your own business, do something you are passionate about. It is easier to be consistent in a business if you have fun doing it than if you don’t because then it seems like a boring chore.

Your business should bring about a solution to an already existing problem not create new problems.

Find the perfect idea, do your research (review your environment, social class of your potential customers, product, etc), get organized, and make it official. If you can find a new approach towards a niche and build a business around it, then you have the potential to be successful in it.

  1. Create Content(s)

You can get paid for creating content for people. It could be for a company’s website, blog, vlog, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or an e-commerce site. As long as you can create meaningful, relevant content, people will always come back for your service and even spread the word about you.

  1. Write An EBook
    Choose a popular topic for your eBook but write about something you have the knowledge and genuine interest in. You may spend months writing, proofreading, and editing your book; the more time and effort you put into it, the better the result.

Once your eBook is ready for publication, the next step is to consider the best platform you can make the most money off. Here are some websites to sell your eBook: www.Amazon.com, www.fiverr.com, www.payhip.com, and Okada-books.

  1. Live Below Your Means
    Secrets to getting rich
    Try to curb unhealthy spending habits like buying things on credit, buying things on the spot, and buying expensive items you don’t need. Spend less than you earn so you’re never left stranded. Living below your means is vital for your money to grow.
  2. Affiliate Marketing
    Affiliate marketing is a branch of marketing in which you get paid for recommending a particular product/service to your readers or viewers.

It’s pretty easy to become an affiliate marketer, you just need to be able to convince people to buy a product or service. You can then get a link on your blog or social media page that people can click on to know more about it. Once a purchase is made, you get a commission. It’s the coolest cash you’ll ever make!

  1. Save, Save, Save

It is important to save a fraction of whatever little income you get. You can start small and increase your savings later as your income increases, this is to instill the habit in you.

Saving is not always easy but you need to get used to it if you want to become rich with no money. A simple way to go about it would be to make a monthly budget according to your income; this would help you remove a portion to save and curtail unnecessary spending.

  1. Invest
    How to get rich from nothing
    Investments are a great way to get rich. Like savings, investments are usually done with your spare cash, but unlike savings, investments bring returns and profit. It is about letting your money work for you.

There are different kinds of investments, hence you should find out which is best for you. Also, there are a lot of risks involved, so it is important to know everything about the business and take only calculated risks to avoid getting scammed. It would be wise to take business advice from professionals before investing your money into any business.

  1. Be Disciplined

You’d never know how to become rich with no money if you are not a disciplined person. Being disciplined is extremely important and helpful on your journey to riches. Earlier on, it was mentioned that to help you save, you should create a monthly budget. Only discipline would make you stick to the budget and any other financial plans you may have. It also ensures that you achieve any financial targets or goals you may have set within the stipulated time.

  1. Pre-Order Sales
    This is another way to get rich with no money. Pre-order sales is a sales business in which people pay for a product that is not yet available. When someone requests for something or makes an order, they pay for it and then wait for the goods to arrive at the store before they get their order. It is a way for you to start a sales business without any money.
  2. Partnership
    Ways to get rich
    Partnership is something you have to consider if you are really interested in knowing how to become rich with no money. So many wealthy people today got their wealth through partnerships, that is to say, they had an idea but no money so they entered into a partnership with people that had the money to sponsor their idea, an example is Jeff Bezos.

Picture a scenario where Mr. A has a brilliant business idea but no capital to kickstart it. He goes ahead to pitch the idea to an investor who can pull the resources to start the business and they share the profits.

In partnerships, there’s usually a binding contract called a partnership agreement which states the terms and conditions of the partnership including percentages of ownership and distribution of profits and losses.

  1. Get A Grant
    In most countries, there are grants available to people with good ideas: business, academic, or otherwise. For you to be considered for such grants, you need to have a very convincing business plan that is feasible and capable of yielding profit. As you can see, it is also another easy way to become rich with no money, just your ideas.
  2. Influencer Marketing

Influencer marketing has to do with influencers advertising products/services to their followers. One of the best means you can consider if you want to know how to become rich with no money.

Influencers are often celebrities or popular people on social media with a large fan base that looks up to them or admires them. They are paid to advertise products because they can easily influence their followers’ choices.

Therefore, any product or service recommended by an influencer is likely to get massive patronage due to the number of followers they have. All you need to do to become an influencer is to grow your social media accounts to a certain level and have an interactive audience.

  1. Real Estate Marketing
    This is a branch of marketing in which the product being advertised is real estate. It involves helping real estate owners sell their lands or properties.

It is a pretty easy way to make money, you just need to have the right audience and be very persuasive. How does it work? When you sell a property, there’s a particular percentage paid to you as the marketer called a commission.

So, you could easily get very rich depending on the number of properties you can sell. Definitely one of the most important things you must consider if you are really interested in knowing how to become rich with no money.

How to get rich
If you lose all you have today, would you become poor? The answer is NO! This is because being rich is a state of mind. Learning about how to become rich with no money doesn’t just tilt you towards financial wealth, it also tilts you towards mental wealth.

You could be rich but still be poor and vice versa, all that matters are the intrinsic values, characters, and experiences which have prepared you to rise again if you fall. Always remember that being rich does not always mean having millions of dollars/naira, instead, it is about eliminating financial troubles in your life.

And although generative artificial intelligence (AI) is being used more for content creation, it can’t fully do the work of human writers. Companies are looking for writers who know how to edit AI content and who have at least a basic understanding of search engine optimization — learning or beefing up SEO skills could be a lucrative side hustle. Some freelancers are charging $100 an hour or more for their freelance writing services.

Total time: It can take a while to get your first gig. Setup: 24-48 hours. How easy to start: Easy, if you have the expertise. How fast you'll get paid: Varies by site.

  • It takes Upwork up to 48 hours to approve your profile. But keep in mind it can take time to land your first freelance gig.

  • Payment varies by site. On Upwork the timeline for receiving earnings depends on the type of payment. Hourly contracts have a weekly billing cycle and you can withdraw funds 10 days later. Fixed-price contracts have a five-day waiting period. Project catalog contracts allow payment withdrawal after five days. And bonus payments also become available after five days. In each case, a client has to review your work. On Fiverr, you're paid when the work order is complete, but you can't withdraw funds for 14 days. (The waiting time is shorter for those in the Top Rated Sellers and Fiverr Studio Member ranks.)

  • Upwork and Fivver require users to be at least 18 to sell work. And Freelancer.com requires users to be at least 16.

  • Some sites require you to be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.

3. Learn to use AI tools

The use of generative artificial intelligence is on the rise. A recent report from PwC estimates that the North American economy will see a $3.7 trillion impact by 2030, thanks to the AI market. 

So there’s no better time to learn how to make money by using AI tools. Some AI-related side hustles include:

4. Take surveys for money

You can make money from home by taking online surveys, but don’t expect to earn a lot. Survey sites don’t typically offer a big payoff, and many sites are more useful for earning gift cards than cash. Some of the more popular survey sites include Swagbucks and Survey Junkie. Read our analysis of survey sites to find out which one is best suited for you.

Total time: It will take a while. Setup: Just minutes. How easy to start: Very. Just register and begin. Age threshold: 13 to 18+. How fast you'll get paid: Varies by site.

  • Survey sites could be an option for how to make money online for beginners because you can register with a site and start taking surveys in a matter of minutes.

  • The time it takes to get paid depends on the survey site and how much time you dedicate to taking surveys.

  • Some sites let you cash out only after you hit a minimum earnings threshold.

  • Other survey sites issue points, which can be redeemed for cash (via PayPal) or gift cards.

  • Most survey sites have a minimum age requirement, which ranges from 13 to 18 (depending on the site) making these sites one idea for teens to make money online.

  • Individual surveys may have specific requirements. Don't be surprised if you are disqualified from a survey without much explanation.

5. Make money from your blog with affiliate links

If you’re a blogger who gets decent traffic, you could make money by joining an affiliate network. Affiliates (that’s you) get paid when someone clicks through from the website to the partner site and buys something there. Some bloggers make a lot of money this way, particularly those who do affiliate marketing full-time. You can use social media or a platform like Pinterest to drive traffic to your blog. Read more about affiliate marketing and other ways bloggers can make money.

Total time: It can take quite a while to build an audience. Setup: With blog templates, building a site is easy. How easy to start:While getting started can be easy, creating regular content may be another matter. Age threshold: Any. How fast you'll get paid: A month or two, on average.

  • First, you need a blog, social media account or other online presence that draws a healthy number of visitors each month.

  • Then, you need to apply for and be approved by an affiliate marketing network like CJ Affiliate, ShareASale, FlexOffers, Rakuten Advertising or Amazon Associates.

  • Payment schedules and thresholds vary by affiliate network, but expect to wait at least a month or two for your first paycheck.

  • Amazon Associates pays out earnings 60 days after the end of the calendar month in which they were earned.

  • ShareASale disburses earnings monthly.

  • A blog, social media account or other online presence that attracts a steady stream of visitors.
