Yes you can. But you’ll need a very stable internet connection and a headset plus British/American accent and a payoneer account. The one I left pay 450$/month.

You just want me to pack and run down there now. The numbers coming from there is great though

ogbonti:


well I will advise your take it easy at your own pace hut If i was living in naija right now- and want to settle in an african country - Rwanda will be my top pick

pocohantas:
Yes you can.

There are some that do not require you to be resident in that country. At best they ask that you have EXCELLENT written and spoken English - NO HEAVY ACCENT. Some would require you to be familiar with American English. So you know it is FAMILIARIZE not SE.

- You would also need uninterrupted power supply.

- A noise cancelling headset with microphone. Make them no hear “ekaro ologi de o” or “condemned iron…aluminium”

- Stable and backup internet connection.

- A quiet and proper workstation because your back go hear am.

- They pay entry level customer service $3/hr to $5/hr and you would work 40hrs a week or more.

- You should also be familiar with CRM and Ticketing tools. Mostly Zendesk and Freshdesk. They are things you can learn in a day on YouTube.

- For your portfolio, create a google slide of bespoke customer service responses to various situations. DELAYED DELIVERY, MISSING ITEM, DAMAGED ITEM, REQUEST FOR REFUND…etc. These are the recurring issues in customer support for e-commerce and majority are e-commerce firms. Close it with your name. Make it look real and sell it as your sample responses while working in similar capacity for another client.

Apologies for all the epistle without mentioning where these jobs can be gotten from.

-Upwork, Fiverr, LinkedIn.

There are more, but I don’t know them. These ones would link you to foreign clients. The competition is very stiff and they have a preference for freelancers from the Philippines. We would talk about this bias some other day.

If you get one and they like your work ethics, they won’t let you go. That I am sure of.

See them. Lazy youth.

All they're good at is always finding the easier way out. They will never confront their problems. How many people of other countries are doing customer service job while living in another country?

You know Nigeria is your problem but instead of find ways to disintegrate it, take the bull by its horn once and for all, you will prefer to go to Ikeja Along and buy modem and fairly used laptop with cracked screen and search for remote jobs so that if some small dollars roll in, you can sit down by your window side and watch nigeria burn for all you care.

I know you have calculated the foreign exchange and you're already rubbing your hands and dreaming of how you can start to buga once the dollars roll in.

Na lie. Terrorists are now in Abuja and Ondo, Owo. Ebubeagu and herdsmen are in Lokpanta, Abia and Ihiala.

Anywhere you go na bandit and terrorist. IT IS REVOLUTION NOW! YOU MUST FIGHT IT. NO ESCAPE FOR YOU!

work smart not hard, use your big head for once God no give you big head for nothing

ecolime:
Sure

Mostly Virtual Assistant roles.

But based on our time zone, look for roles that are streamlined to EMEA.

Landing one isn't a piece of cake. Na real war because of competition.

Should you land one, you are automatically immune from the falling Naira. Even if you are paid a a paltry $1,500.00 monthly you are still a big boy by Naija standards.

There is an Upwork thread HERE. Upwork is very competitive and favours professionals. I don’t know of other freelancer sites, but if you go through this thread, you will see others. You have to research and then ask questions when you are stuck.

RaptObserver:


That is great. Any other option?

ogbonti:


Namibia is very nice too, Botswana is ok

South Africa has a violent history

Ghana is going through a lot economically now

North Africa is a No No - it’s too violative

Kenya and Uganda have nice people but poor

my take will be Rwanda, Namibia, Botswana

In that order

RaptObserver:


Okay I will consider Namibia then.

ogbonti:


thx - and good luck in your future endeavors

Agbebakun22:
yeah, just join the group and get info there

Niswayne19:
Yes it is possible but you need too internet connection. And also don’t forget to get the Oraimo freepods 3 for easy communication.

easzypeaszy:
Dats wht I do fr 2yrs

Dshocker:


Yeah, my sister works with an American company, as a customer care representative here in Nigeria

Agbebakun22:
its crazy tho different companies have their writing style guide but you must pass their test before you're consider to work for them. The pay depends on the company. TranscribeMe pay range is btw $15-$25p/hr for an audio hour. But must follow their writing style. An hr audio could take u over 5hrs sometimes especially if the audio is poor recorded. I will leave the job soon and spend time on the ALX SE coming up nxt month. You determine how much u make as long there are files to transcribe. Mind u laptop, foot pedal, stable internet is prequisite to do the job and also u will definitely need a headset if u want to consider it as a career. They pay u through paypal(almost transcribing firm)pay u with paypal.
