“5 Common Mistakes Beginners Make When Trying to Make Money Online”

 The internet is full of money-making opportunities — but many beginners fail before they even start. On Cash on Hand, I share real, honest tips to help you avoid those early traps.

Here are 5 common mistakes most beginners make when trying to earn online:

---

🚫 1. Chasing Quick Money

Scam apps promise Ksh 5,000 instantly. Real online income grows with time, effort, and consistency.

---

🚫 2. Skipping Research

Many jump into platforms without checking reviews or payment proof. Always confirm if a site is legit before joining.

---

🚫 3. Ignoring Small Earnings

“Only $1?” they say. But that’s Ksh 130 for clicking. Small tasks daily = big totals weekly.

---

🚫 4. Not Having a PayPal Account

Without PayPal, many can’t cash out. Set it up early, and link it to M-PESA using PayPal–Safaricom.

---

🚫 5. Giving Up Too Soon

After 3 days of trying, most people quit. But earning online is like farming — plant today, harvest soon.

---

💡 Final Tip: Stick to one or two legit platforms and build consistency. That's the secret to growing your hustle.
