A Note To All Tired Nigerian Freelancers. by TylerWarr(op): 9:53pm On Mar 09, 2022
First, how're you?

Really, how're you? Gist me in the comments.

I know the Nigerian government is not making it easy for you to make the money you need to sustain yourself.

I get it.

I remember one time I lost a copywriting gig because the company only paid via PayPal and as you well know, PayPal is banned in Nigeria.

Can you even imagine that?�

Do you also rememeber that time Transferwise stopped operating in Nigeria? I lost $2k.

I wanted to die.

But did I?

Nah, one thing I believe is; the only time I'll give up is when I'm dead!

I've tried oh, my guy, I have tried as a freelancer.

What have I not done?

Subscribing to tons of job emails that promise to send me high-paying writing jobs and when those jobs come, it's either it's an america-only job or they want to kill me with workload.

There was this one time this Filipino employer wanted me to write 30 high quality articles every week while paying me 40k Naira/Month ��

You dey whyne mehuh

If I start telling you all the stories of my experience as a freelancer, LinkedIn servers will overheat.

But is there a way for a freelancer to climb above all of this nonsense challenges and start making a decent living?

Of course there is.

You just don't know it yet.

Even the Christian holy book said "my people perish for lack of knowledge"

If you're hungry and I hide chicken inside a plate in the kitchen without telling you, what are your chances of finding that juicy chickenhuh

Omoh, me I like chicken and it's my life mission to find chicken and enjoy it.

And, let me not lie, the Chicken of making dollars is sweet!

But how did I even do it?

Like I did I get to the point where I get jobs without applying?

1. Positioning myself so the best opportunities can find me.

2. Leveling up my skill to the point where any employer knows I'm worth every dollar! (Can you say this for yourself?)

There's more but this post is getting longer so I'll talk about them in details subsequently.

Lol.

Anyways, please take care of yourself and don't let this country run you down.

There's always a way, and if you're willing to find it, work for it and apply everythimg you learn, you'll realize how easy it is to make money as a freelancer.

Cheers.
