Wait...what is beef here?

That the OP has a job placement site or that he is pasted an article on how to work from home?

Are those two mutually exclusive?

Jobberman has nothing good to offer. I said it and I will continue saying it.


They are out to defraud. Why should one pay for the same job on naijahotjob dot com ?

Jobberman job is often sales and marketing position and they tend to copy jobs from consulting firm.

Rubbish

[quote author=]Now that we are fully immersed in the digital sea where more than half our lives are dependent on technology and the internet, more companies and employees nowadays look out to work-from-home jobs where they can stay at home and finish their deliverables. Transportation costs and other expenses going to the workplace are highly minimized without compromising on the income. The growth of work-from-home jobs has thrived in recent years no doubt, especially as humans constantly strive to achieve a work-life balance.

Many companies have focused on hiring experts who can work with schedules and meet deadlines but not necessarily be present in the office. There’s been a proliferation in the virtual workspace this century. Deals are sealed via teleconferences, employers recruit via social media and there’s an increasing demand for convenience at work. Countries like Nigeria have embraced this concept and implemented it to be part of their organizations’ culture. In this article, we will talk about the top 5 work-from-home jobs in Nigeria.

If you are either currently unemployed or not satisfied with what you’re doing, consider these work-from-jobs to help you enjoy a better life in the comfort of your home.



Freelance Writer

Anyone can pass contents online. Submission of written articles does not require being physically situated in a company’s office. Thus, being a freelance writer is one of the most common work-from-home jobs in Nigeria.

Qualifications are basic. A freelance writer should have a good portfolio of written works; His/her writing must be compelling enough to hold many readers’ attention. As well, writers must be dynamic to be able to provide explanations in a user-friendly manner rather than in a technical fashion. Of course, as content will be posted on the web, applicants must have a good understanding of Internet concepts and possess familiarity on optimizing content online.

Often, writers are to provide five to 10 articles in a week with a vast array of topics given by the publisher. A 700-word article usually is equivalent to $3, while a 1500-word article costs $5. In most areas, flexible rates are applied. Some even provide $60 per article, depending on the depth of the topic and the set of requirements.

Translator

Quite similar to a freelance writer, a translator writes articles with the same content only translated from original articles written in a different language. Many Nigerians are known to fluently speak and write in second languages asides English. Some of the more popular languages are; Chinese, French, German, Japanese and Portuguese. Companies are in favour of applicants who know one or two of these languages. If you’re more proficient as a linguist and know more than three languages that have high demands for translation jobs, you can really earn a decent pay out of this translating job.



Sales Representative

Work-from-home sales representatives are in charge of information and communication technologies services such as registration of domains, hosting and data center services, setting up of corporate email accounts, etc. Earnings are both commission-based and salary-based. To close sales, as a sales rep, you will be expected to perform mass mailing, data mining for leads and cold calling. Numbers and data will either be provided by your company or researched by your own.

You will also be responsible for accounts negotiation, online presentation and closing of deals. At the latter part, sales reps take up billing, collection of payment and support tasks. Hence, candidates must possess sales experience in the ICT industry with great technical background.



Virtual Assistant

The job of a virtual assistant spans from research work to support that comes with helpdesk tasks. If you are thinking of working as a virtual assistant, be ready for companies to assess if you are good in speaking and writing in English – being the lingua franca in Nigeria. This online job requires a polite tone in answering and making support calls, handling e-mails of customers and other secretarial responsibilities. This administrative role pays up to about $10 per hour.

Graphic Designer

Graphics designing jobs are hot in demand now even much more than it was 2 years ago. If you are skilled in designing graphics such as logos and animations, you can stay at home and earn up to $60 an hour. A vast portfolio of creative designs and Flash works is your ticket to getting hired by companies involved in online work sites. Include web designs and get as much as an additional pay of $50 per hour. If you are capable of taking clear photos, it is highly suggested to include your experience as a photographer in your resume. Companies are generally generous in paying for photographs they can’t get elsewhere to speak for their brand in a unique way.



Work-from-home jobs in Nigeria do not necessarily need you to be computer literate at the start. Companies may offer trainings and evaluate your performance to match the skills and experiences the jobs require. However, a top requirement for such jobs remains an excellent time management skill. You may also have challenges with availability of resources and you have to do an exhaustive research to avoid fake or ill promised opportunities.

But in all, there are great work-from-home jobs with excellent pay and it all boils down to the core skills you possess.

Stop advertising and encouraging laziness. There's nothing like work from home in a crawling economy such as ours that is service heavy and lacking physical goods of all kinds.

Rather encourage people particularly our youth to embrace brick and mortar ideologies to develop this nation or else the deep seated social vices will never cease.

People don't escape poverty by being smart but by being resourceful. These ideas peddled here are for once developed economies on their way down. We don't need such in Nigeria.

ekt_bear: odesk.com and other digital freelancing websites are pretty useful for anyone interested in working from home.

I've hired a few programmers from that site, as well as a writer.

oDesk is very good.

I do not seem to understand exatcly what is happening here..... Why are you guys labelling Jobberman as fraud Is it because they collect money from their clients (i.e., job seekers)? Or because other job sites bill the same
Don't forget Jobberman is a Company, something started by Ope as an undergrad @ OAU, Ife. This guy found solution to a problem and has enriched himself by doing so.......

There are jobs like those mentioned in Nigeria, especially for freelance writers and graphic designers; as stated in the article, you have to do a proper research to find the right jobs and also avoid scams. I agree most of these work-from-home jobs are rare in this country but they exist. A freelance writer can sometimes be called a content creator; there are other names these work-from-home jobs are called- what matters is finding a job that suits your core skills. We’ll ensure to give updates on this topic e.g links to legit online jobs and other more prominent work-from-home jobs – in the future. Thanks for the question, I hope this helps. Cheers.
