I'll appreciate if you can recommend a digital skill that can enable me work or earn doing remote work.

Please it shouldn't be very saturated.

It should be something I can learn from watching YouTube videos, buying course on udemy or any source etc.

Firstly, what are you currently doing to enable us suggest a digital skill that fits into your category?
However since you don't want a saturated one, you can either learn graphics design, marketing or copywriting.
They all have free and paid resources online.

What is your current background? A lot of people will probably ask you to dive into Development, but there is ample opportunity in System istration (I prefer Linux but there's a lot of demand for Microsoft Windows too). Also Cloud istration is one for the future. If going Cloud, the primary preferences is AWS then Azure. G comes a distant third. If you want to go the cloud route I would recommend AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate as a start. U want to go Sys route I would recommend Redhat's RHCSA

Of course you can still go into Development if that is your preference. There are openings in Digital Marketing but I find that a lot of Nigerians may not quite make the cut due to cultural differences. I might be wrong on that

I studied a course not related to computer stuff.
I have all the time I might need to focus on learning any skill at the moment.

Thus thanks for the contribution I'll dig into them.

I see things differently, Can you search for Salesforce job and learn more about the requirements. You can use trailhead playground to study for the certificate. Once you have the cert, you will be employable globally.

Don't forget to locate this post and thank me later.

That's base . There's marketing cloud for marketing automation. q for cost and price quotations. There's omnicloud and much more. It's insane. Basic only covers sales and service cloud and still in so much demand it's so crazy.

A certified marketing cloud or pardot specialist can make as much as 30k annually while living in Nigeria.

Does it requires a certain specifications or range of laptop to run or learn?

Secondly do I need internet connection to learn or practice apart from using data to videos?

Disclaimer: I am not a marketer for Salesforce.

It does not require any configuration, infact, you wouldn't need to any software as Salesforce is cloud based advance CRM technology.

I am currently studying for the Developer 1 certificate. Kindly checkout their website and navigate to trailhead or their community. I believe all your questions will be answered.

From my experience, their tutorials come with task that must be completed in the playground, and after completing the task, you will earn a point. Hence, I am not sure if you can do that offline. That said, I will advise you against ing YouTube video because salesforce technology is not static, things keeps changing and the only place you can be guaranteed to learn towards the cert is trailhead.

That's good to hear. Can you educate people on here more about your preparation for the PD1, Any opportunity yet on employment? Do you need to get the PD2 before getting position or starting freelancing?.

Honestly there's so many jobs but I haven't been serious on applying. The few I have applied to I have had interviews was even in the middle of one sef before my boss Inceeased my salary to what I cant imagine na so I tell them I no do again. I wanna get pd2 as an exit plan. If I leave my job I don't wanna work a frontend dev job again for at least 3 years. It took me 8 months to prepare for pd1 but that's cause I was working and studying for the GRE. A serious dev can get it in 3 to 4 months but for someone who isn't a Dev probably a year or more.
