@OP i think you should learn to network more, that is my crime too, am good on some stuff but because i don't socialize and network no one will know of your talent, heck if it means doing some freeworks also join some community write tutorials create sample projects(ones that will interest people), that way you expose yourself and the same time improve your skills, join LinkedIn also i got a job in mauritius but i couldn,t go as am travelling later in the year chat with professionals, join IT events before you know you will be in the limelight. or even propose your service to people who you feel you can render better service for them. as for me am picky about clients cuz you'll meet clients who wanna take you for granted. and pls pls pls pls pls pls pls don't charge less for project that gives you stress, if its robs your sleep then it has to rob someone's pocket.

He has 3 posts, 2 of them are repetitive. Anyway, for him to step up, one of the techniques is for him to ehm step up to the community. But seem to be looking for easy way out.
Now, why are you guys adding to my title, by the time my biography is written on nairaland, it will be quite long:
web developer, programmer, spammer, attention seeker, hacker, bully, student, teacher, thread derailers, bully, NL terrorist, mukybot terrorist, vote rigger. . . .

@pc guru
you made a lot of sense in your tips. I think that will be very helpful. but i have a feeling nigerians do not value programmers and software guys that much. just think how much IT companies pay programmers/developers as a validation for this. Is there any outlet where programmers can meet directly with prospective clients?
