Tools I Use (And Recommend)

Everything I use to run this blog, earn online, and create content is shared openly on the Tools & Resources page.

This includes:

  • AI tools (for writing, translating, content creation)

  • Website builders

  • Survey sites that actually pay

  • My referral links (yep — some give us both a bonus 😎)

Why This Blog Exists

I’ve wasted a lot of time over the years chasing shiny "work from home" promises. I created Finance with Rodrigues because:

  • I wanted to document what actually works

  • I wanted to help people like me — hustlers, students, freelancers, parents

  • I wanted to build something real, not a YouTube side hustle that disappears in 2 months

This blog is raw, honest, and practical. That’s a promise.

Here’s what I recommend:

✅ Bookmark this page
✅ Explore the “Online Jobs” section — it’s the core of everything
✅ Subscribe (if I add an email list later)
✅ DM me on TikTok or Instagram if you ever get stuck — I reply to every real message

Thanks again for stopping by.
Welcome to the journey. Let’s build something solid

How I Use Pinterest to Make Money from Kenya (Even Without a Huge Following)

 I used to think Pinterest was just for recipes, fashion ideas, and home décor inspo. Until one day, while doing my usual “how to make money online” rabbit hole scroll, I stumbled on someone casually saying they make passive income from Pinterest. From Kenya. With no followers.

So instead of worrying about growing followers, you focus on creating content that shows up when...

But here’s the kicker: my income didn’t change. What changed was my thinking. One random evening, I sat in traffic in Nairobi West, just staring out the window, calculating how much money I had wasted that week. Ksh 180 on a daily snack. Ksh 400 on random rides when I could walk. Subscriptions I didn’t even use. The numbers were adding up — just in the wrong direction. So I tried an experiment. No budgeting apps, no motivational finance quotes. I just told myself: Spend like someone who earns hal...
