Yes,that reminds me. You may have to buy a review or 2 to jumpstart your sales because seasoned buyers don't want really want to be anyone's guinea pig anymore as the first to patronize. Contact @FxTizzle to help out.

Also check in your profile settings,your availability must be online always.

Shaylance:
Okay thank you very much. Any other tip to land my first sale?

I checked it out and noticed things you need. Using the same picture for all your gigs is a big NO-NO and not professional. You need to design 3 custom photos per gig and videos if you can for each gig. This helps get your gig noticed. Use the Buyers Request to bid for jobs as well.

Check this profile out as an example...https://www.fiverr.com/dm_digitalnerd

Shaylance:
Hello please i am new here. Please can you help me check my profile if it is okay as i have opened this account for a while but up till now no click. I am a young girl that just graduated. Please help by clicking on the link and advice on what to do also regards fiverr review so that I can get my first sale. https://www.fiverr.com/tracymatt/write-viral-seo-optimized-article-content

Do as Sard advised on the other thread. My advice buy reviews on all your gigs and create videos for them to rank easier to be seen. You need to keep bidding on the Buyers Request till you are chosen but clients need to see someone has patronized you before them. No one wants to be guinea pig. All the best.

Honestly, I deserve a hurt slap.
It's fiverr.com/sandrawrights
More so bro, my buyer's request tab is always barren.

From what I hear,yes but I'd rather you stay off Nigerian webhosts completely to avoid stories that touch.

Foreign ones like Hostagator,Go Daddy,Namecheap and Bluehost are more recommended. Hope that helps.

tolu4you:
Thanks.
I really want to do it on my own. I just want to know if qserver is reliable and theme from 1ktheme is virus free

OK. You didn't share the link to your profile.

Hello bro, please help me check my profile.
Created it late last year, but up to this point, I have not got any order.

*Payoneer via marketplaces like Fiverr,Upwork,Amazon etc

*Xoom (A PayPal Service) that allows to receive direct to your bank account in Nigeria

*Sendvalu to receive directly in your local bank account

*West Union

*Moneygram

It all depends on the client and what he/she is open to but some are just diehard users of PayPal so if all attempts fail to convince to try options 2-5 then you have no choice then option 6.

*Open a foreign PayPal with some tricks using VPN

Hope this helps.

swisscarter:
This is a question to all graphics designers in the house.

How do you receive payments from international clients? I've asked around so much and no one seems to give a clear answer to that.

I need advice.

You have no gigs set up so there's no way in the universe a buyer will buzz you.

You must do it on PC not the app. On the menu of options looking for "Selling'. So you can create your first gig and there are quick explainer videos of every stage you are. Try to download it.

Hey guys , I would like to have advice on certain professional courses I can learn , am kind of free now and would like to utilize this moment and learn something new . I am a graphics designer with an expert level in photoshop and also a 3D animator/modeller. I will like any course that deals with business , graphics design and 3D animation . Thank you

Nice so I can transfer from my USD to EURO card on Payoneer that is.

Grupo:
Hey guys,

So, I did a little experiment, and I thought I should share with you guys.

Since sendvalu stopped processing dollar transactions, I found out that using your dollar payoneer card to initiate a transaction on sendvalu would cause them to exchange your money at ₦328/$ which doesn't make sense to me.

So, what I did was to order a euro payoneer card. Once the card arrived, I activated it, then transferred some dollars from my dollar payoneer card to the new euro payoneer card. There is a new service within payoneer that allows you to transfer your funds from one currency to another.

I transfered $200 to euros within payoneer and I got €176.17. That's after payoneer deducted $1 as service charge.

Next, I proceeded to initiate a transaction on sendvalu, then used my euro card with €176.17 inside as the checkout option. That gave me ₦68048.83.

If you divide that amount by $200 which was the original amount that started this transaction, I would be left with ₦340/$. I think that's a fairly God rate.

It's well,bro. I can relate to working in such silly work places. I'm mostly on the mainland though. Expect a call from me when I charge up later today...

wunmi590:

Check your account again for any errors. I changed from an MTN to Airtel number because of this issue when trying to withdraw for the first time.

emperorblog21:
it is an AIRTEL NUMBER O.
PLS SHOULD I ISE A USA NUMBER

If the phone number you used is an MTN one do yourself a favor and change it ASAP.

emperorblog21:
hello pls i register on fiverr since 2017 and have been having issue getting my account approve. i give them my phone number but have not been receiving any VERIFICATION CODE. PLS help

I have shared it up above before you commented twice. Kindly look again...

Bromoney:
Guys I'm about concluding my application but came to the payment where they requested for my bank country, I didnt find Nigeria there, what do I do?

And aslo what do I do about the tax part too.

Ugent help please and can anyone add me to a whatsap group about merch 08182194899 thanks

Thanks,bro. I need to ask what about this requirement of the email being a webmail instead of regular email. I seem to be seeing that on most blogs.

Venzal:
The graphics niche is one of the saturated niches on Upwork.

Don't go creating an account on it directly, it will be rejected without fail -- like you are already experiencing.

Choose a non-saturated category, craft a believable profile in that category and submit. If you profile gets accepted, go back and finetune your profile to reflect your original category.

It's all good though. The 3 annual events I spoke and you will get an idea of the industry so far. I attended the event in the 2nd link just this Saturday and have attended all these events at one time or the other.

LucemFerre:
Yea, I noticed the antiSpam doing it's thing to you.

I would love to see the list of them Nigerian super heroes. We are trying to up it to a cinematic universe Of animated series not digital drawing.

Very good idea,bro. The thing is there already over 20 Nigerian comic and multimedia startups doing things. There are 3 annual comic conventions in Lagos. I have tried to share this info like twice but the antispam bots had issues doing the usual things.

I'm working on an overdue blog post that lists most of them and will share here soon.

LucemFerre:
Look at the costumes of Superheroes, most of them have touches of blue or red. Coincidence? Not at all. America likes to personalize everything.
Hulk is green though...

Anyways, I'm not saying we should make superheroes and paint them green white green. But, show the world in an animated form that we have histories and folklores too. One that our next generation would also boast about.

I mean even if we do not have gods let's deify whoever we want (maybe Okonkwo of things fall apart) and give them a back story. It's all fiction after all

I'm not a professional 3D artist, I'm a below average but, as we move up in the learning curve let's move together with our concepts, so that as we become more professionals we review and Polish them to keep up with the cinematic look of the times. Look at how Avengers looked then and now. The graphics and effects then were laughable at best.

Whatever it is, whether concept art, 3D, 2D, 1/2D, anything.

The only guaranteed failure is not starting.

Hey guy pls watch and subscribe to my channel ..i draw alot .so am putting it into a channel ...pls i need y'all help to raise my channel ...i just started ..pls subscribe to my channel and comment..

A commonly asked question is what apps can be used for t-shirt design. Popular choices are:

*CorelDraw
*Illustrator
*Photoshop
*SketchBook Pro
*Clip Studio Paint
*Gimp
*Krita

After the design has been completed. Presentation mockups are done in Photoshop for marketing purposes on social media or to let your client have a clear idea what his/her t-shirt will look like when produced (like the attached).

T-shirt design can be approached from different angles or philoshopies so very flexible. Just do your market research and make sure no copyright violations. Google TMHunt.

Hope this helps.

No problem,bro. Thanks.

erad:
So sorry about that bro.
Your reply was sandwiched in the middle and I just saw it when I went to check now.
Apologies.

@erad I'd like to call your attention to this. My quote to @Floridax isn't something I believe violated any rules on this thread to be deleted. I shared how he can better improve his chances of more subscribers and shared links to a playlist and its intro done on YouTube. There is no problem him posting YouTube links here and while mine get removes. I don't get why for real.

Subscribed now follow me back and keep it up. More Nigerians need to feel up that space. With YouTube's new policy made in January 2018,you need 1k subscribers and 4k watch hours over a 12 month period are required to get your channel monetized.

You need to create more lenghthy tutorials to keep people on the channel like this example of a digital art tutorial on Black Panther on AWAtv.

Nice attempt,you need to pay attention to the color separation and saturation. I can barely make out the outlines of the guns.

Your site was shared in a WhatsApp group by my friend there. It's thanks to it I got approved and I filled my tax info. Also sharing that link to the freakingly awesome @Eric Lass on YouTube was really generous of you. Thanks a lot.

CosmicJames:
Today I bring to us one of the biggest money making program on the internet right now.

Amazon is the biggest online retail store in the world with millions of daily visitors who are ready with their credit cards to buy all kinds of things on Amazon including T-shirts!

You don't need to drive traffic to your T-shirts to make sales.

You will not be required to buy and import the T-shirts from China to sell on Amazon.

You don't need to ship the T-shirt to the customers as they purchase it

This is a Print On Demand (POD) service.
And Amazon does everything for you -- from Marketing, Production, Shipping, and Customer service.
Then pay you your earnings.
And you are paid through Payoneer. So you don't need to worry about PayPal or how to withdraw your money.

Moreover, they accept Nigeria. So you don't need to worry about VPN software and changing your IP address.

All you you will be required to do is to create simple or complex designs and put your designs on T-shirts. Then list them for sale on Amazon.
See screenshots below to have an idea of what I'm talking about and what you will be doing to generate $$$ free


You don't know how? Don't worry, I will show you exactly how this business model works, and how to do it free!

Yes, this information will be 100% free!

Now, this program is called Merch By Amazon (MBA) and you can only get in by invitation.

I've put up a step by step tutorial on how to write/send your invitation and be accepted into the program on Kikimat.
To access that tutorial free, go here:
https://www.kikimat.com/earn-over-400-day-with-merch-by-amazon-mba/#comment-528

To know the full potential of this opportunity, go over to Google and search for "
Merch By Amazon +Money? " excluding the quote sign "

You can then come back here to tell us what you see
Get ready, you must make money online this year!

My blog has transitioned into video content and vlogging. Check out the article with links to YouTube and Vimeo. Watch for more videos coming soon dedicated to architectural visualization and multimedia. It promises to be insightful and informative.

Yes,i don't see why not. Some of my logo samples and illustrations in my portfolio are from tutorials. Watching more tutorials soon to recreate more.

Carmal90:
Hi,
Please allow me to ask this silly question,
Is it OK to save as my samples logos, banners, cover design I did after watching the tutorial on YouTube?
For clarity,
I reproduce the design taught by the lecturer.
Thanks

Most free mockup websites only cater for CS3-CS4 upwards so please get rid of version 7. I stopped using it close to 7 years ago. Photoshop downloads from Adobe's site and you will get the crack at Free Appnee. Hope that helps.

kalex0:
please help

I'm unable to mock up with my Photoshop 7



which photoshop version can I use please?

You make a good comment then ruin it with your freebie request. The webhost didn't give your domain name and their hosting services for free. Did they?I highly doubt that. Now kindly do the same and pay for a good logo. There is also Canva for free online for you to do it yourself.

izzyboi:
wow, so many talented designers

Oya, who's going to design a free logo for me. my blog is www.listdorm.com

Good work so far. It's perfectly normal just rest,clear your head and get back into it.

DipoAy:
Portfolio series.
Done with adobe illustrator
3hrs
Lol.

Taking a break from art, I think I have exhausted all my energy. Too many personal issues.
Hope to come back better and stronger.
Best Regards.
