Pitching the idea

The young teacher said she spotted a few kente shops around her and came to an agreement with them where she’d take pictures of the kente fabrics, post them online and get clients for the shops.

Mena said she increases the price of the fabrics she posted by a little amount so she could also make her cut.

With excitement, she said her plan worked very well and she was able to make Ghc 9000 in just her first month of starting her side hustle.

She advised individuals with low salaries or with no income stream at all to adopt her structure for other types of businesses to help earn something for themselves.
