I dont know how working remote from Nigeria really works. I guess most into it are freelancers. But I've been working remotely for over 6 years now and never had any reasons to go to any office.

Sometimes, while I'm in Nigeria I can still work remotely for the parent US firms I work for, and many folks I know here in the IT line are currently working from Nigeria and still get paid in USD. What's the point asking techy guys to come to the office? Thats outdated in this clime, especially with covid fright everywhere.

I think it all starts with choosing a niche within the IT space, for me. I focused on Cybersecurity. Mastered as many areas as I could and got certifications upon certifications added to my bachelor's and master's degrees and let my resume do the talking. It will work same way for anyone, just differentiate yourself from the rest.

You'll be surprised with how many calls for jobs you will get from all around the world and pick which ones u want to mess with. Some firms are even in dire needs of the strengths and smartness in most of us Nigerians and won't even mind relocating you and your family closer to them, as long as you've proven your worth to them.

I dont know if it depends on the companies you have worked for in the past though. For me, all my experiences are for US based firms, none at all in Nigeria. But if you can manage to get yourself into some of the major consulting firms with presence around the globe, like Delloitte, KPMG, E&Y, Accenture, Infosys etc, you're good. Thats how I started my consulting career and later decided to contract for firms than working directly for them as a FTE.

Even in cases where your physical presence is needed, these firms will be responsible to get you there, wherever it is in the world. Got tired of that.I prefer those that are entirely remote since I contract now and have decided to cut down on travels.

So, around IT, you can't be wrong with areas like Cybersecurity, Business Intelligence, Data Analysis, Machine learning, Software Engineering /Design, Cloud Computing/Networking/Security etc. There's a huge array of lines for those in other IT areas like programming,, web designs, digital marketing etc.. im just talking about the areas Im familiar with.

Dont jump around, just stick with one area and carve a career around it. Its a common mistake for many to want to include as many unrelated skills on their resume, its wrong. Your resume should tell your audience a story about you, not get them confused about who you really are. Don't let them feel you were a farmer last year, a plumber last month and a tailor today. Choose where ur strengths are and focus on improving on it, highlight your strengths on your resume, then make your resume your tool. One of these areas can keep you employed from your home right there in Nigeria with firms from around the world.

My 2 cents. Goodluck all.

Good evening Sir,

I read all you wrote up there with keen interest and it's amazing how far you have gone in building up your career and maximizing your true potentials.
Notwithstanding I will be grateful if you could coach me in this IT field (even for 2 hours a week) , I am really interested but lack enthusiasm and discipline to run through, as a matter of fact I got a Laptop for it some months ago but I'm blank on how to go about it, perhaps I lack concentration or need a coach ,someone with expertise in such field.

My email is okeregreatz92@gmail.com, please it will be an honor to have you drop a mail to this request .

Thanks and God bless you.

How long are you willing to invest?

If its up to 7 months, use 60% to buy bitcoin and 40% to buy ethereum.

From January 1 till date, btc and eth have done 170% and 500% respectively. Note that it's not a quick money scheme. Crypto takes money from the impatient to the patient.
Wow, please how does it work? Do you need to register on any website? How do you buy bitcoin? How do you make profit?
What do you mean by your last statement? Thanks

Please how possible is it for someone to get remote jobs using nigeria profile, thanks.

Isaacmacdon:
Remote jobs are pretty common these days. Due to covid-19 restrictions.

However, you must scout for remote jobs.

I have this strategy I offer to those with the skills.

You must be ready to meet deadlines.

Remote work is bae. Honestly

My first remote job was 30k, creating Wikipedia Article.

I never knew it was the beginning of great things to come. I have moved to another country, working from home and living comfortably well, through Upwork jobs.
I recently added PPH and Guru to my list, expanding the streams of income and living the life of my dreams.

Now I do SEO; Keywords search and analysis, On/Off-page SEO, Sitemaps (HTML/HML), Backlinks and anything crawling, indexing and ranking on SERPs.

grin grin grin

Can you recommend where I'll get tutorials for the bolded. I'm a content writer too but want to diversify my services to the bolded.

I'm think of starting classes with interested people on Search Engine Optimization. You could be my first student.

I will be honoured to impact my knowledge of SEO on as many as possible for close to nothing as fees.

Hi,
I'm just joining the field of content writing, i dont have much experience, but i have the skills and want to learn. Are there remote job websites you can recomend for me to start with, where i will be given formats to follow and be paid too.

Thanks.

Hi.

The field is really competitive and few people have time to train newcomers. I would recommend that you take a course so that you don't have to start as a total newbie.

Then try and start a blog of your own.

Okay.
We're almost there. You're the fourth person.

Once the fifth person indicates the interest, I will then consider creating a suitable platform for us.

After each class, there would be assignments, real life practicals. By the time you round up the course, you would've have become an SEO expert.

Then you would create your LinkedIn profile and take the LinkedIn SEO exam for the SEO badge.

It would be fun, relatively fun.
