In this article, we will be taking a look at 10 things you can do on Bridge without quitting your day job;

Also, a large number of people now prefer to shop for their groceries online without leaving the comfort of their homes (groceries includes; rice, fish, etc.) this has resulted in an increase in demand for grocery shoppers in different neighbourhoods all around the country, because customers now prefer to buy groceries from a shop in their neighbourhood without having to pay exorbitant delivery fees, avoiding delayed delivery due to distance or at most being refused delivery because what they are buying is in small quantity. Now they can use grocery shoppers in their neighbourhood who but for a small fee help them shop for groceries from the same Mama Miracle down the street they buy groceries from.

You can earn from 1,000 Naira — per delivery to 3,000 Naira depending on the location and intensity of work. And if you have a minimum of 2 deliveries per day (for a month = 30 days) that’s an estimated figure of 60,000–180,000 Naira per month.
