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.

Thank you. Pls do you have links for some of these online courses

Hi, and sorry for just getting back to this. I would be thankful if you could share what you have in mind on here. That way, others with similar questions can learn too.

Good day, I am also interested

Send me a message on WhatsApp.

Here is what you get for FREE in the course of the training.
1. Step-by-step guide to create a Wordpress website with N00.00 (If you do not already have a website). You will need the website for your practicals in the course of the training.
2. Free materials to guide you.
The training itself is not free. You have to pay something to value the knowledge. But I can assure you that my aim is not to make profit but to impact on you the knowledge of SEO and help you get remote jobs.

It will cost you close to nothing, compared to jobs you will get from this knowledge.

Check the image for my contact.

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 Thats outdated in this clime, especially with covid fright everywhere.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.

10/10

Coolio, thanks.

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.

I am yet to start.

ebubey:

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

It's straightforward. These are crypto currency assets unlike your USD, NGN etc which are government backed. These are basically digital money with bitcoin being the king. Every transaction you make with cryptos have a record on a digital ledger system online which is immutable. Transactions are borderless and permissionless. I can send you $100 worth of bitcoin even if you're in Australia and without a 3rf party. Transactions are also fast and irreversible so you have a idea of what you're doing.

Yes, you need to create a crypto currency wallet like Trust Wallet or Blockchain.info. Think od these apps like your bank applications. You can download these via your app store. You may watch YouTube videos if you're having difficulties.

To buy you may need to open a Binance account which you'll nred guidance with or just go to the crypto trading thread on NL and transact with people that have reputation and have been trading for a while.

You just need to buy and hold, just the way you save money. Think of it like buying digital gold.

My first remote job was on upwork. I had to build a web app for a fitness. More like a feature on the web app for $120 per week.

After that, a full time job with a company based in San Diego.

All I'll say is, invest in a good set-up and peaceful environment. That way you would be productive.

motivate555:
It is no doubt that the way to survive this economy is by getting foreign jobs in which you work remotely and you are paid in foreign currency as well.

If you have ever gotten a remote job, help others identify what the need to do better by answering the following questions.

1. What skill got you your remote job?
2. Where did you find the remote job?
3. What is your pay range?
4. What is the experience like working a foreign remote job?

Please any useful information that will be beneficial to others.
