PGON:
My Fiverr account is one year today (10th May, 2016). I decided to make this post to encourage those seeking for jobs in Nigeria to have a rethink; maybe freelance is the best option.
Nigeria has unemployment and underemployment problems. It is unfortunate that the government does not see this as a very critical issue.
There are so many graduates, out there doing nothing, not because they don’t have talent that can fetch them enough money but because they don’t know how to apply their talent to make a good living.
The internet has globalized job opportunities. You don’t have to wait for Government or other private companies within Nigeria to create jobs. Optimize your talent and look for jobs globally via the internet.
There are millions of opportunities when you look outside the boarders of this country (Via the internet).
The fortunate reality is that Nigerians are very talented. Politics may have done some damages on the education system and other factors but the core reality is that Nigerians are so gifted; they thrive in all conditions.

It is true that there are lots of Nigerians already earning thousands of Dollars online legitimately via freelance and other sources. please how do i create this gigs or best still where can i get free gigs to sell on fiverr?
My Starter Fiverr statistics below:

Total Earning for the period of one year is $4,560.
At exchange rate of N250 by dollar.
Total = N 1,140,000.
Some Nigerians are making about $1000 – $3000 /monthly or more.
Lets break it down to monthly earning.
Average monthly Fiverr earning = N95,000.
The truth is that about 50% of Nigerian civil servant do not earn up to N95,000 monthly.
N95, 000 monthly may be so little to you but it is very good start for some.

What do I need to start freelance.

You need a laptop that is connected to the internet and time.
How do I start.

Register at any of the freelance website.
Fiverr.com
You can Google and read reviews about other freelance sites, I use Fiverr at the moment.
Which service should I offer?

Anything you can do very well, it is not about the course you studied in school, it is about what you can do with the knowledge you have.
Go through Fiverr home page, view the Gigs offered by other seller, you may be inspired by what people offer as service.
How much should I charge?
Fiverr allows a minimum of 5$ per Gig. You set the maximum based on the required service. My average charge per Order is $173. It is true that at the very beginning I charged $5 and $10 for few orders before adding more $$$ based on the nature of the task.

You need to state that in your Gig description.

Let clients know that you offer free services.
