Hello there, let me guess, you are searching for this topic (how to make money online in Ethiopia) because of one of those reasons.
You are searching for a job but didn’t get any (honestly speaking nowadays you need to have someone in the company to get hired.)
Or you probably get a job but the salary is ‘ke ej wede af’
Or you might be a high school student and want a sidekick.
Honestly gn, the education system fail us aaaaa? You study for the past 12 – 18 years to get a job and then you have no experience to get the job. Are you kidding me?
Anyways if you are one of the above, this is a good place to grab some info on how to make money online in Ethiopia. So stay tuned.
There are things you need to know while considering the subject
But for now, keep these 2 things in mind.
There is no easy way
The first thing you need to know is, there is no easy way or method. I am being honest with you guys. You may see a youtube video or ad which says do this and start earning cash the next day. It is all blush*t. There is no quick scheme to make money in Ethiopia. You need to work for months and years to get your first penny. But I think it is better than submitting your CV for days and not hired. Or get a job and fired on the second month.
So for me the first and the last thing you should have is patience. You need to be patient and focus on your progress. Don’t compare yourself with others. Just go with your pace and through time, you will master the things you need to make money online in Ethiopia.
You need to have a plan
Since there no easy way, you need to have a plan to make money online in Ethiopia. First, you need to choose the way either it is blogging or Youtube channel or freelance work, you need a detailed plan to make things right.
Planning has many advantages like good time management and sustainable progress.
You can have both short term and long term plan
it is amendable as you progress
For example, as you start, you need to decide on these things.
Pick a particular method
There are different ways to make money online, we will talk more about that in the next chapter, but for now, just pick one method to depend on your talent. If you are good at writing, blogging might be a better fit for you. Or you are good in front of the camera, you can create your youtube channel. Or if you can develop apps or design a website, you can start doing freelance work on different free sites like Fiverr and Upwork.
After choosing a particular method, the next step is to start researching your method.
Research on the topic of your interest
Nowadays, Google has enough information to get you started. For example, if you want to become a blogger, You can get information like ‘how to start your blog’, ‘best Webhosting company in Ethiopia‘,…etc on Google. If you want to start a youtube channel in Ethiopia, you can easily google and find detailed information.
Prepare important tools depending on your budget
There is one rule in every business. Spend something to gain something. You can start your journey for free. But if you are serious about making money online, you need to spend something to gain.
For example, If you decide to start a blog, I highly recommend you to start as a self-hosted site like yegara host. Not on free sites. Making video on youtube also need some budget like a microphone or professional video editing tools.
Don’t underestimate the power of first impressions. Because there are many sites and channels out there and you need to compete for an audience. And to grab that first impression, you need to spend some money on it like any other business. For example, when I first start blogging, I start on a WordPress site for free. And no one was reading my blog because my blog design sucks and I didn’t even research keywords when I write my topics. Even if few viewers found my blog post, they didn’t stick to the end because it was unprofessional and wasn’t user friendly. But when I start another blog on Yegara host and design it using premium themes, even my subscribers start to grow.

Let’s see them one by one.
Build and monetize your blog
Yesterday I saw an interesting article in my Google feed. It was research done by Growthbadger.com, one of the known sites that are currently visited by thousands of business owners each month. They published research a while ago. It was done on 1,117 bloggers across the globe who have a different income from their blog. The admin asks each of them and summarize their opinion in this article. They were asked the same question which is,
How important are those factors for making a blog successful? (Scale of 0 – 10).
Asked by Growithbadger.com admin
Once you build your quality blog using all those factors and get a substantial amount of monthly viewers, you can use different methods to make money online in Ethiopia using your blog.
Start a YouTube Channel
You can make money using YouTube in Ethiopia. Even if Ethiopia is not an eligible country (not accepted by youtube), you can change your country name and monetize your channel after you reach to requirement set. But first, you need to start a youtube channel.
After you create your channel the next step is to monetize it. Youtube set a minimum eligibility requirement to start making money in Ethiopia.
You should live in a country or region where the YouTube partner program is available. (unfortunately, Ethiopia is not accepted by YouTube. So you need to submit another eligible country to start making money online in Ethiopia.) This method is not recommended and YouTube can delete your account if known. But there is no other choice in Ethiopia.
Your channel should have more than 4000 watch hours in the last 12 months.
Have more than 1000 subscribers.
Have a linked AdSense account.
After you fulfill the criteria, you need to submit your channel for review. YouTube will review your site, make sure everything is okay then approve it for monetization. If your channel is not approved, you can resubmit after one month.
Start Working on Freelance Sites
Some of the Ethiopian freelancers currently working on Fiverr
Different freelance sites are accepting Ethiopian Freelance workers online. Starting from logo design to website design and app development, you can work as a freelancer and get paid through Payoneer.
The most common service offer made by Ethiopian freelancers is a translation job. You can translate English to Amharic and other Ethiopian languages and vice versa. Another offer is an app development and website designing service. This can pay you up to 1000$. Another method is to design logos and other documents for a company and get paid 5 – 50$. You can also do voice over in Amharic and other Ethiopian languages. Or get paid by teaching Amharic, Tigrinya, and other Ethiopian languages to foreign customers.
There are different free freelance platforms to get you started. The most known sites are
Whether you have a telegram channel or a Facebook group, you can make money by different methods using your social media. You can advertise yours and other product or link (affiliate marketing). Or you can sell a channel after it got a good number of followers. You can also link your blog on your channel to drive traffic to your blog and make money by offering your or others product.
I am not sure if make money using the betting site can be count as an online business but it is one of the growing trends in Ethiopia. There are different betting sites.
You can resell Webhosting, domain names and websites
As you see in the above picture, you can buy reseller hosting (with unlimited Disk space and bandwidth) for 3000 birr per year then sell for 20 customers with a price you set.
Not only Webhosting, but you can also buy domain names with unique names and sell later. You can also build a beautiful website then resell it later at a good price. Different sites help you do that. Flippa is one of the most known sites where you can sell your domain name and websites for a good price.
Sell your products online
Thanks to the advanced technologies, you can sell your product online on different platforms.
Even on telegram and Facebook, some different groups and channels are giving this service. So that your customer doesn’t have to go to your shop physically. He or she can choose the equipment online.
Not only social media, but there are also Ethiopia-based online shops like Qefira where you will promote your product with the picture, discription, and contact address so that the customer can see the product and contact yours through the admin of the website.
On a more advanced level, you can also sign up to sell on Amazon, Ebay, and Shopify. You can set your online shop with a small price then you can sell your product online.
You can earn as much as 25,000 ETB with a little or no cost at you. Especially if you have already bought premium themes like DIVI, you can design as many websites as with no additional cost to you. That means you are selling your experience and service for a higher price which is a wonderful way of making money.
I am not saying it is easy if you have no previous experience. But you can learn it with patience. in my case 2 years ago I had no idea what a website was. Through time with a lot of trial and error, I manage to build more than 7 websites. I already buy the Divi theme so it is much easier to build a website now. But it is time-consuming and you need to have a lot of patience with your customer because your taste might be different from them.
So to get started you need to have
An experience or basic knowledge about web hosting and WordPress
A good eye for design
It is better if you have a premium theme since they are more customizable and unique
You need to advertise yourself to get new customers. For example – you may need your website where you showcase your previous work and plan & price of your service or you might need to register on freelance sites like Fiverr for example.
Publish your own book
if you are into writing or if you plan to publish your book but don’t know where to start, there is a way where you can publish your book online. Kindle Direct Publishing will take care of this for free. What you need to know is prepare your document, proofread it yourself or by a professional proofreader, prepare an attractive cover design then submit it to kindle for free. Publishing mostly takes less than 5 minutes and your book will be online on Kindle stores worldwide within 2 days. The best thing about the kindle is you can set your price and earn up to 70% of each sale. You can also make changes to your books at any time.
Make money online by watching an ad (PTC sites) and taking surveys
This is the most common way of making money online both in Ethiopia and worldwide. I think that is because it is the easiest way. Regardless, I don’t recommend it as a source of business for three primary reasons.
Because it is the easiest way to make money online, millions of internet users are using it. Due to that, you only get paid cents even if you spend hours every day.
It is full of scammers. After spending months, you will finally realize you can’t withdraw the money you already made.
it is not even a business. it is not something you can add your flavor to it. It is entirely controlled by the site owner, you will just spend your time and energy for months only to be paid a small fraction of money.
So these are legit ways to make money online in Ethiopia. Which one is a better fit for you? And if you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comment below. And also don’t forget to subscribe to get news and updates on making money online.
When everyone speaks about making money online in Ethiopia, the first option would be google AdSense. According to google, AdSense has paid nearly 10 billion USD in 2015 for publishers! It is a whooping large amount of money! Though there is no recorded data in our country there are websites who are getting tens of thousands USD per month! So today, I am going to break it apart and discuss it before your eyes.
Google, US based Tech giant, owns different products and platforms. Among them, there are AdWords and AdSense, where advertisers bid for advertisement and publishers shows advertisement, respectively. Therefore, AdSense means a platform where interested publishers shows advertisements on their websites, videos or apps.
Google AdSense is a program run by Google that allows publishers in the Google Network of content sites to serve automatic text, image, video, or interactive media advertisements, that are targeted to site content and audience. These advertisements are administered, sorted, and maintained by Google.
First thing is first. What do I need to start with AdSense?
There are some conditions, you should have to fulfill before you start making money with google AdSense in Ethiopia. These conditions includes:
Gmail account
Website
In addition, Traffic.
The first two conditions are must. You should to have a working Gmail account and a live website. The last one is not compulsory; however, your income mainly depends on how much traffic you have, so it is necessary to have.
Types of AdSense
There are two types of AdSense. Hosted and non-hosted. Hosted AdSense is an AdSense that will be given to publishers who are hosting on google platforms. For example if you are a YouTuber or blogger on blog, then when you apply for AdSense you will be given a hosted AdSense. Whereas if you are a publisher by your own platform (if you own a website hosted by your preferred company) your AdSense will be non-hosted one.
So let us start the process
Most likely, you would have a working Gmail account so I will not spend time on it. If you do not have a Gmail account then you can create yours with no time by clicking here.
However having a live website might be a challenge especially if you are a beginner. so let me guide you through the basics of creating a website. First, you need a hosting company (where your data stored on cloud). There are many companies in Ethiopia who provides hosting services. You can choose one of them by searching “web hosting company in Ethiopia”. Once you buy your hosting plan then you can install a CMS (content management system like WordPress or joomla) or you can create your own from scratch using PHP. However, I recommend you to use WordPress because it is easy to set up and manage.
After your website became live, you will create your content (it might be blog, forum, news site, video site, directory or something else). Once you have created enough amount of blogs, and drive some traffic to your website, you can apply for google AdSense.
The application process is super easy so we don’t waste our time on it. You can search google AdSense and apply for it following the steps. However most likely, your application might not get approved on the first trial and I will give you some tips.
Try to avoid these mistakes
Unsupported language:- for your surprise Amharic is one of those unsupported language. So do not create any blog or content with your local language unless it is a video.
Valuable inventory:- while choosing your niche, be smart. Try to select a niche that makes your content valuable. If you choose a niche of your interest, you might have a good inventory.
Poor quality website:- if your site’s appearance on mobile devices is poor, then your application might be disapproved.
Contents, which are not supported by google, if your site contain adult content, fake news, hate speech and so on, your application might get disapproval.
Best Practices to make money from AdSense in Ethiopia
What is niche?
A niche market is a subset of a larger market with its own particular needs or preferences, which may be different from the larger market. For example, within sell and buy websites (classified websites), car sell and buy website is a niche. Within a news website market, politics news website is a specific niche. So before starting your website, make sure you have selected a good niche, where your readers/customers will come back to. If you select a good niche, then you will have specific ads shown on your website and that means you will have the maximum number of ads click with higher amount of CPC (cost per click).
Mobile friendly site
If your site is a mobile friendly, search engines will automatically think your website is attractive for users so they will list it on the result pages and that means a lot of traffic to your site. Having a mobile friendly website is not as simple as it seems. Your website should appear perfect when displayed on mobile devices, it should have to load faster on mobile devices.
SEO
When it comes to sustainable income from AdSense, SEO is the best way to achieve it. SEO (search engine optimization) means the process of optimizing your website to get organic, or un-paid, traffic from the search engine results page. If your website is optimized for search engines, you will have an organic traffic to your site, which leads to upscale in your income. Websites optimized for some highly valued keywords are getting THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS every month. So don’t ever underestimate the power of SEO.
the Do’s and Don’ts principle of AdSense
AdSense is a global company who pays more than $10 billion for publishers annually; therefore, there are many rules. As a publisher, you want to skyrocket your income and the process of growth is painful, so you want the possible quickest way of making it. This eagerness will make you think of cheating google AdSense, the most impossible duty. Hereby I am insisting you to stay on the normal way of growing. Don’t cheat, don’t click on your ads, don’t, don’t . . .
Don’t exchange clicks. Some people on the internet exchanges click for their website with cookies installed. Let me tell you eventually you will be busted.
Don’t copy content from the internet. Be who you are. Write your original content.
Don’t push robot traffic to your site.
Be careful of your ads placement. You might see someone putting ads with “skip to content” type of placement or sticky sidebar. That is not supported with google and if your site is watched by supervisors, you will lose your access to your account.
Do’s of AdSense
Be patient with your growth. For the first year you might not get what you have expected, but remain patient.
Stick to the old school way of displaying your ads.
Promote your content on social networks and search engines if possible.
Focus on SEO. Try to post posts with keywords. Optimize all of your pages, submit sitemaps, robot.txts and do whatever you can to appear on the first page of search engines.
Finally, if you follows these procedures and always comply to their policy, adsense is a paying company for publishers. once you became a pro, then your income will be persistent.
Ethiopia’s government has introduced comprehensive and remarkable reform programmers, which have already achieved good results. Particularly noteworthy is the high level of investment in improving the country’s infrastructure. The large population of over 117 million people offers low labor costs and a good sales market due to the growing middle class.
Which business is profitable in Ethiopia?
1. Construction and Real Estate
Construction and Real Estate is becoming the best sector for investment in Ethiopia. Posh Apartments, Luxury Condos, houses with one or more stories and Villas are filling the landscape of the outskirts of Addis Ababa.
But still there is an increased demand for short or long term residence, office buildings, properties such as warehouses, etc. Addis Ababa is a city with many diplomatic missions, International and regional organizations such as UN, AU, EGAD, NGO’s and their different offices.
For Ethiopians living abroad, it is time for you to seize the opportunities in Construction and Real Estate sector and build or buy a property. The Ethiopian Diaspora has so far invested more than USD 1 Billion in Ethiopia.
2. Small Manufacturing Business in Ethiopia
There is a wide scope for small-scale manufacturing businesses to prosper in Ethiopia. As a matter of fact, there is a big number of successful business owners in Ethiopia are in the manufacturing industry.
The main industries in the country are food processing, beverages, textiles, leather, garments, chemicals, and construction materials. If you have the required capital, one must consider launching a small-scale manufacturing unit. And try to tap the export market as the existing manufacturing enterprises have not been able to capitalize as yet.
3. Agriculture and Food Processing
This is an important industry in Ethiopia. Accounting for over 85% of employment for the people of Ethiopia, agriculture is vital. There are different types of crops that can be grown in the country ranging from cereals to fibre crops and flowers, to teas and coffee plantations, etc. Forestry is also an important resource in the country along with fisheries. Also, commercial processing of produce and raw materials gotten from agriculture provides an opportunity for business in Ethiopia.
4. Vending machines
Most people in Ethiopia are always on the move and would not like to waste precious time in the process of buying things. This has led to an increase in the demand for vendors and their machines. A vending machine for the sale of small items like drinks, snacks, water, milk, juice, newspapers, cigarettes, etc. can be installed in different strategic places to meet the immediate needs of people on the go. This is a splendid business idea for busy places like a bus terminus, schools or colleges or even a busy residential area in Ethiopia.
5. Fast Food Joint
Starting a fast food joint is a good business idea in Ethiopia. Burgers, drumsticks and other fast food are very popular here. Hence you can start a fast food joint and earn a good profit. Serving good quality food will ensure more customers coming to your fast food shop.
