How do you get a Payoneer Card without a Nigerian or International Passport or Drivers License?
This is not supposed to be on a public forum, but here is what to do: get a good graphic designer to edit someone's ID for you and replace with your picture and name. It works and I have done that a couple of times for people.

Do you have a voters card? If yes, then choose national ID card and fill in your voters card details. Make sure you don't use any VPN while doing it. Your account should be confirmed within some minutes.

Intending freelancers should not take all these online marketers looking for traffic for their site and people to patronize their ebooks serious.

You can learn a lot about freelancing on any of the links below. There are loads of free info there. It is not actually easy as the OP and his ilk say; but is quite rewarding if one has one or two skills and is serious about the business.

Oga stop fooling gullible people here!!!! I have been on fiver for 3 years.Say the truth and stop making it look like immediately one joins he then starts making thousands of dollars!

I know sooner or later you will bring an eBook for people to buy!!! Yeye dey smell!!!!
I can't remember saying it's a GET-RICH-QUICK SCHEME.
I can't also remember saying that you will get thousands of dollars as soon as you join. If you read my story, I didn't hit a thousand dollars my first month or every other month.
I have been on Fiverr for 20months and that's what I achieved.
About selling an eBook, YES, I'm proudly selling it. I took time to write it; it's my own personal experience which I have acquired this past 20months; it's not the copy and paste gibberish people roll out every other day, so I deserve a pay for it.........
If you think it should be given out for free, be ready to also tell other millionaires and billionairres like Donald Trump or Robert Kiyosaki to sell their books for free too.

Bigboyz32:
While in the University, I promised myself that I wasn’t going to apply for any job after school. I stuck to it and kept learning as many skills and trying as many businesses as I can.

Of all the businesses I have tried, Freelancing was the best and most paying of them all. I still do it till now.

It’s over three years after school and I haven’t for a second thought of applying for any job, yet I earn more than many senior level workers in both federal and private sectors through freelancing.

Now, I’m not saying this to boast.

On the contrary, I’m writing this to encourage my fellow Nigerian youths, especially those who are unemployed or underemployed to look towards freelancing.

It’s the easiest business you can start from home with just your laptop and internet connection.

Yes, all you need is a computer and internet connection and you can start earning the type of money that will make your working class friends envy you.

What is Freelancing?

In case you don’t know is the art of selling your skill and time for money. The skill could be writing, graphic designs, typing, research, video animation, web design, music production, etc.

There are platforms where business owners around the world come to hire people with these skills and pay them for the needed services.
When you register on those platforms, these business owners gets to see you and hire you to do a job for them.

They pay you in dollars according to the amount you both agree on. This is usually in dollars and that’s one of the most important reasons why I work on Freelance portal……at least, I will always live above recession.

How much can you make from Freelancing and how can you receive the money you earn?

You can earn from $500 (N180,000) and above per month, working from home and spending not more than five hours per day.

Personally, I earn between $850 and $2,500 (though I have earned up to $3,000 in a month twice since I began 20months ago). That is between N280,000 and N825,000 and most importantly, I work for less than 4hours daily.

You receive your money through Payoneer which is a payment option acceptable for Nigerians. Payoneer gives you a customized ATM card where every money you earn is loaded. Whenever you want to withdraw, you just slot it into any ATM machine and it will pay you the Nigerian equivalent. You can also use exchangers as they pay higher (black market rate) than banks.

I use this card to do shakara every time I go to an ATM. I like to use it to intimidate bankers as 90% of them have never seen such ATM……lol.

Again, I’m not saying this to boast, but to encourage you to stop complaining and whining about the unemployment in the country and start taking your own destiny into your own hands.

Which freelancing platform should you start with?

There are a whole lot of them: Fiverr, Upwork, Freelancer, FiverrUp, etc.
But I always recommend Fiverr, maybe because that’s where I started and found huge success.

How much do you need to invest to get started?

Absolutely nothing, except maybe data, which can’t cost you more than 2K per month.

All you need is a laptop (some say phones work too, but I prefer laptop) and internet connection.
With this, you are ready to start banking heavy income working from your room and earning a cool living.

Can you sustain a family with freelancing?

I added this question because I saw a Nairalander ranting that you can’t sustain a family on freelancing.

That is a fat lie.

I’m taking care of myself and my immediate family from my freelance income. I’m not married yet, but I have a fiancée who I also take care of through freelance.

If you treat freelancing as a business, it will pay you like a business owner.

How do I get started?

I can only show you how to start on Fiverr because that’s where I work. If you need help with other platforms, you can Google it or ask the question here on Nairaland to get help (I’m sure there are many Nairalanders earning huge income from this).

If you want to get started on Fiverr, I can guide help you with a very detailed tutorial for it here with images and illustrations so you can successfully register and start banking big cash.

Remember, you should stop ranting about the Government. Focus that energy to learn and start earning huge calms. When you are comfortable, you can easily face the Government without being deceived by their bag of rice sharing.

Good luck to you. If you want to learn how I did it, CLICK HERE.
Boss, I am interested. I have laptop and phone that I can use. How do I get started and how do I contact you.

You don't have to screenshot for the month, screenshot your total earnings just for year 2015 and year 2016 (two screenshots). That will let us know if you are a sham or not. I know what I am saying, and do full screenshots so it shows ur network operator up (just incase you want to get a picture online). If you can't, then please close down this thread and stop deluding innocent creatures.
But then. I thought this guy already provided a video?

I am not interested in this stuff as i have my own source of income but why are people always looking for free things, so because he is making money, he should not make MORE money. I dont want to know if he is real or not but you guys should stop using the e-book sale to judge him.

As much as I like the idea of opening the eyes of people to freelancing. I think selling an eBook about Fiverr for 5,000 Naira is just rip off.

People don't need no eBook to get started on Fiverr. All they need is the right information on setting up an account, learn how to create gigs and offer services which they can offer best.

It's always a slow start on Fiverr for someone who's completely new to fiverr. So patience is key, as well as determination to get into the selling chain where orders run in weekly.

I like the OP's intent to enlighten people, I however find his method outlandish and a decoy rip-off plan.

mrphysics:
Are you on fiverr? if you on fiverr, you won't doubt his claims at all. He dropped his fiverr name, check him out and know if he is saying the truth. And if you are not on fiverr, you won't even know how to check him out. I know of someone who have been earning $3k since February this year.
Anyone who's been on fiverr can do this. I personally earn 1.5k to 2k monthly for the past 4 months. And between 800 and 1k for slow months.

People are out there enlightening newbies about Fiverr for free, with unhidden details, but the idea of pulling people to buy an eBook for 5k is just absurd.

All these eBook people will not stop in Nigeria.

Hey Man, Freelancing is not overhyped. I make nothing less than $800 per month on the average, and upto $2000 sometimes.

But I as a person will never sell an eBook in an attempt to educate people about how it works... it's just a cheapish type of rip-off.

Who even get time dey sell eBook when orders Bolu for fiverr to attend to. undecided
