- Invest in shared and Unit Trust
Companies like Safaricom and KenGen will reward you handsomely if you buy their shares. I envy those who bought shared from Safaricom between 2007 and 2012, they are making good money every year.
You should also invest in Unit Trusts. But over Ksh10 million is needed in order to be assured of earning more than Ksh150,000 per month.

If you plant trees in more than 1 acre, you will sell them for more than Ksh 10 million in 10 years. If you plant tomatoes in more than 1 acre, you have to make over Ksh 500,000 in three months. Farming is a profitable venture which needs seriousness and commitment to achieve objectives.
