Hello, Nairalanders!

Nowadays, it's not uncommon to see Nigerians with digital skills sign up on freelance platforms where they meet foreign companies to work for one and earn in USD. These digital skills include writing, digital marketing, affiliate marketing, software development, website development, online consultancy, etc.

However, these freelance marketplaces are increasingly becoming saturated, making it extremely difficult to land freelance projects.

Some of us were fortunate to earn some good money when things were better and have tried to use the opportunity to switch to a full-time remote role but it has been extremely difficult.

Have you been fortunate enough to get a full-time remote role from Nigeria? If so, how did you do it? What tricks worked for you? Please share them with us.
Through a job fair

I understand you.
Honestly, i have other niches i can write about. Am not limited to only sports.

My problem is, how do i start using this to earn money or benefits?
EXPRESSSMAN:
You don't write for writing seck. You research to know what people like, what will solve their problems and write about it.
I write about relationships. I also write on educational subjects and sell on many platforms.
I know many sites you can write for, you don't need to limit yourself to sports rather look for what people are looking for and what will solve a problem or entertain people.

It will always be difficult to get what you want in life including remote jobs. But you can go round this by doing something unique to stand out from the crowd.

First, make sure you learn and master sellable digital skill.

Second, build trust and credibility with your target audience.

Third, demonstrate your digital skills through your virtual office i.e. blog website.

Example, when I wanted to start freelance writing many years ago, I offered to write 4 articles for a product creator in exchange for the guide he was selling.

He was selling the guide for $17 then and my 500 words per article was $10. And I ended up doing other freelance writing gigs for him at my rate.

From there I successfully launched that freelance writing career.

But the best way to showcase your skills now is to create a blog around your target market.

Chronicle your journey through blog posts, using niche audience keywords and phrases to write these articles with SEO in mind.

This involves upfront investment anyway in domain name registration and web hosting to run a WordPress blog platform.

Your digital skill can be in anything e g. graphic design, virtual assistance, freelance writing, SEO, consultancy, brokerage in expertise between seller and buyer, social media management,, video editing, just name it.

So, you need credibility to get clients and referral and you have to demonstrate your expertise to earn it.


Unfortunately, a lot of people don't want to invest in themselves and future to get sustaining jobs and income.

And be creative in everything you do to attract the type of people and remote jobs you desire to get.

The above steps I took years back worked for me and I am still reaping the fruits of my labour today with many internet businesses that sprung up from that humble beginning.

My 2 cents
Your post is so insightful.
I do write fiction stories; though as a beginner. Pls, let's connect. You will be a good mentor.

Do well to mention me with your contact sir. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks so much.

How can i start to monetize and promote?
For me, the model I operate for now is that I packaged some of writing into short ebooks. put them on Gumroad.com and others. Then I post free articles on Medium.com and others everyday to promote them. I have a book on Penis size , how to woo a woman, how to woo a man and many others in relationship side.
I also have a list of 100 sites that accept articles. If it meets their standards they will publish it and pay you. Your own is to write as many articles as you can in a day or week.
You can also setup up a blog, post your articles and use ad to monetize if you're getting reasonable traffic.
You should also know how to use Grammarly, Chatgpt and other tools to help you.
So everything depends on the model you want to operate.
I can send you the list if want. Also you should know that they are not get rich quick.

I got mine through referals, cold dm's work though.

And this worked out too----> Let assume you a video editor and you focused on a certain niche, you narrow down to your target market, you know where they are, you could look through their video content to look for errors in 'em and correct it.

Once you are done with the correction, look for their(target client) email and send to them, although before putting up the video in the email, you would need to compliment them and below the complimentary words, you send the video.


If you are really good, if they like it, they might want to bring you in to work with them.


It does not only work for video editing gigs, it can work for all kinds of digital skills as well like digital marketing, Software development, cyber security and the likes.
I'm aspiring to be a football video editor, can we talk?

Took apprenticeship for 3 months (4 of them but landed job with 1) with a client on Acadium (Note: if you want to join this platform, your profile must be set up professionally and tailored, else you will be rejected and have to wait for 6 months for another profile review. It became strict a year after I joined because people were not taking clients seriously). Got 6 months contract the first time (from one of the apprenticeship positions I took), I am on the 4th renewal at the moment.


This is not a get-rich-quick scheme and without sacrifice. I took additional Certification courses to boost my profile. I have Google Certification and HubSpot as well.
boss can you put me through

I can guide you to set up your profile but you will need to have certification or take some courses on the platform to get their certificate. That way, they can approve your profile to start taking apprenticeship positions.

Drop where to send it for you, your email or Whatsapp.
But I can see that you need money urgently. I will advice you to search my first post here. Use the link there to read the report. If you can do it, you will start making money immediately.
In this writing niche, you will need to learn a lot of things to break through. So you will need to follow it step by step and gradually.
I will advice you more when I get your contact.
