Just went through your post history and I noticed you have worked for Sherbet for about 3 weeks which the last week you were shot paid, your current rank is worth about 40$ base on the campaign payment 40+40+24 that's $104 from your 3 weeks signature earning, you did not spend a penny from the $104 and you later added extra $46 to your earning to make it $150 which is not equal to the half of the phone price which is $400 like you said. The story look some how weird to me.
Congratulations on your newly acquired phone and I wish you more success to your incoming signature earning.
Bro I don't think there is need to be such a detective in someone posts that is trying to express his joy in achieving what he has since long for. Anyways the op clearly stated that he has been working hard and maybe he earn not only from the forum signature campaign but the money from signature campaign working here helped him in achieving what he called his dream mobile. Op am very happy for you and like you and everyone else, we all have dreams he or she wants and for me I really want to start a business but am currently struggling due to the high inflation also in Africa but since I found this forum, I have been exposed to so many opportunities and I have also started hoarding some bitcoin through DCA and hopefully I will hold till the next ATH we will experience in the market.
I highly agree, since this platform/forum isn't the only one out there where you can get side hustles if you get lucky enough to join the campaigns. Let's just assume he did earn quite a bit from his last signature campaigns. Who knows maybe he is also working as a VA in some other platforms or companies given that he is a student? I was also once like that before and I've managed to land VA job which is more on data entry like doing some google sheets and organizing bills and schedules (if you know what I mean), or even work as a freelance spelling checker like one of my childhood friends right now who is also a student. He works 6 hours a day from 7pm to 12am while studying at daytime and earns around $24 daily since his rate is only $4 per hour multiplied by 6 days, in short, he has $144 weekly. I don't know in your country but here it is already considered decent amount of money since our average wages here doing part times usually won't exceed $2 per hour.
All I can say is, what matters the most is how you manage your time. I have always told my friend that even if he manages to graduate in the most prestigious schools here in our country, his future is still not guaranteed. So, in this short amount of time you should build your skillset and just treat that as your hobby, coz who knows you might need that someday. Aside from that he also earns extra money to use for his school fees and other stuffs. Situations and opportunities vary in every person, even I myself wanted to work part time on his platform, but as of now there is no positions opened, that is why I've said that opportunities will vary depending on the person but that doesn't mean I am not patiently waiting to apply once there is an opened position.
