How to Make KES 10,000 Daily in Kenya — Real Strategies That Actually Work
How to Make KES 10,000 Daily in Kenya — Real Strategies That Actually Work
If you’re living in Kenya right now, you’ve probably asked yourself this question: Is it possible to make 10K a day — consistently?
The short answer? Yes.
The long answer? You need skills, systems, and sense.
We’re no longer in the era where a degree guaranteed you a job. Today, you have to create your own path. And making KES 10,000 daily is not about magic or luck — it’s about value.
Here’s a breakdown of 7 proven ways to make 10K per day in Kenya (without gambling or scamming people).

1. Start Freelancing with a Niche Skill
Freelancing is still one of the most powerful ways to make money online in Kenya. But you need to niche down.
You could offer:
- Website design (check out this guide to starting freelancing in Kenya)
- Content writing and blogging
- Graphic design (learn Photoshop or Canva)
- SEO services for businesses (read What is SEO and Why Every Business in Kenya Needs It)
Once you have a skill, pitch 5–10 clients daily via LinkedIn, WhatsApp, or job boards. Just one good client could give you work worth 10K or more every day.
2. Run a Digital Service Business from Home
What do people need every day? Posters, CVs, websites, logos, captions, bios, product descriptions.
You can start:
- Writing LinkedIn bios for KES 1,000 each
- Designing social media templates for small businesses
- Managing Instagram or TikTok pages for KES 10K–30K per month
Bundle your offers into monthly retainers and upsell your way to 10K per day.
3. Teach What You Know (Online or Offline)
Can you teach something valuable? Cooking, fitness, design, TikTok growth, coding, marketing?
Then you can charge per head.
10 people paying KES 1,000 = 10K
5 people paying KES 2,000 = 10K
Use Telegram, Zoom, or Google Meet to run short courses or weekend sessions.

4. Sell Digital Products or Templates
This is a game-changer.
You can sell:
- Canva templates
- Notion trackers
- Editable CV formats
- Instagram story packs
- AI prompt collections
One product can sell over and over again — no delivery hustle. Use platforms like Paystack, Selar, or even WhatsApp groups to distribute and receive payment.
5. Launch a TikTok Brand and Monetize
TikTok isn’t just for dancing. Many Kenyans are now making money through:
- Paid promos (brands pay to appear on your account)
- Selling their own products
- Pushing affiliate links or courses
Grow a page around a niche (beauty, parenting, gadgets, finance, cooking), and start converting followers into customers. You don’t need 1 million followers — just influence.
6. Offer VA (Virtual Assistant) Services Abroad
Did you know many Kenyans are earning $20–$50 per day working as virtual assistants?
What you can do:
- Email management
- Social media scheduling
- Research and reporting
- Admin work
Start with platforms like Upwork, LinkedIn, or direct cold outreach. Check out this guide on how to get started with remote work.
7. Learn a Skill That Pays High — Then Monetize It
Let’s be honest: Skills like data science, cybersecurity, video editing, and web design pay well.
If you invest in the right course and practice hard, you can start charging:
- KES 5,000–10,000 per logo
- KES 10,000–50,000 per website
- KES 15,000 per explainer video
- KES 8,000 for SEO audits
