Outsourcing of jobs to make more money

I love freelancing die

But my challenge is that my area is full of Yahoo boys and people may just assume I am one of them

gergemam:
Having better time to spend with family



Hobbies are accomplished...

majekdom2:
hahahah.... working from home is never an advantage. only lazy people see it as an advantage. Get an office. you can always freelance from your office. freelance is not about sitting at home, I classify it as consultancy. A full time job has its merit too. This comparison is redundant

BreakupNigeria:
Like seriously? You make it sound like you are doing him a favour by becoming a freelancer Are you going to share the proceeds with him or what??

GeniusHawlah:
To get job is the problem. No client wants to try the new writers.

Its true, freelancers earn good pay but you should also include some of the cons of freelancing.
(1) You are at the mercy of the platform. Most Nigerian freelancers on fiverr, upwork etc use fake names and foreign locations to hide their true identity because posing as an American increases your chance of having more sales as compared to actually working from Nigeria. The moment those sites get a wind of your true location, you will either be banned or deported back to Nigeria.

(2) Sure you earn dollars and our abysmal exchange rate makes it such a profitable venture. For example, a job an American wouldn't consider for $100 because of the time requirement, a Nigerian will gladly take on the task because $100 is about 36k. You stay up all night sometimes, getting tasks completed.

(3) Sometimes you are at the mercy of exchangers. You earn dollars but you cannot spend dollars so you will have to rely on an exchanger, while many are fair, some are very greedy and would want to exchange your hard earned dollars for N270/$.

(4) While there is a good potential of making good money freelancing, its not consistent. You can earn $2000 one month and make just $50 the next month. A regular job provides you consistent income on a monthly basis.

(5) You can't just wake up and say you want to be a freelancer, it also requires you to choose a niche and master your craft. You will need to self-educate yourself to attain knowledge and the necessary tools needed to be successful.

(6) Then there's that constant cat & mouse game you need to play if you plan to operate a foreign account or plan to have multiple accounts to boost your sales. You have to get a foreign VPN and specialized browsers. Plus, you may have to pay for reviews just to boost traffic to your page and what not.

Overall, freelancing is still a far better option than being unemployed or working menial jobs, but if you already have a stable job, freelancing can be a secondary source of income, but I won't advise giving up your main job. Just know the ins & outs and you are good to go.

o boy eh, na sense full your head, aswear

since i discovered sports betting, aswear i no fit do any other online business again.

before before na adsense wey me i dey manage.

but since i enter sports betting, i no even send google with their adsense again.

i no say sports betting dey very risky but guy i no go lie you, e dey very very easy too...

in fact, when i see people wey dey talk say dem no fit do sports betting, i go just dey laff dem for my mind.

wetin all of fiverr, upwork, freelancer, SFI, infolinks, amazon kindle, ebook marketing, adsense and all the rest of them combined fit give you in a month, sports betting fit give you all of that in A DAY!!!

sports betting na baba!!!

you don't sound like someone who truly wants to get started.

in fact, to me, you sound like a lazy youth... a lazy youth looking for more excuses not to get down to work.

The only people cashing out are the owners and agents.
