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.

Show them a proof that you have earned up to $3000 in one month. Also, what kind of service do you provide?

Owiii:
I'm interested too. Want to start making money online. Have tried fiverr but not working because I'm using a Nigeria IP.

What is your Fiverr username?

Hi, I am in need of a pocket wifi with affordable bundle rates. I am done with Glo, Etisalat, and whatnot. I prefer a pocket wifi that I can do unlimited subscription on for an affordable price. You can also contribute if its not unlimited but note that i use like 30-50gb per month.

Please state the name of the wifi, the price, data cap (if applicable), and the location you are using it.

SEO stands for search engine optimization. Its important if you want your blog to rank on google. SEO in this context is actually using keywords usually long tail keywords in the body of the article to make it appear natural. Long tail keyword are long phrases for example '''make money online'''<== that is just a keyword, then the long tail keyword may be ==> "'How to make money online with affiliate marketing''... You can see the differences. Both mean the same thing but the latter is a longer tail version which is better for ranking move keywords in a single article.

Let's take an example...
if someone type on google '''make money online''' now that phrase is a keyword. Lots of website will appear on google according to relevance and some factors which includes keywords, backlinks, length of article, page authority and domain authority. Everything I just highlighted in red are actually what is termed SEO with KEYWORD being the first SEO to consider.

So when next you get an order to deliver an SEO content, ask for the keyword from the client or offer keyword research as a gig extra.

One more last thing you need to consider is using these keyword(s)within the title and body of the article to appear natural. Basically, don't use keywords more than 1% within an article (That is for me personally, it may differ from persons)

e.g: if you are writing a 1000 words article, don't use the keyword more than 10 times within the body of the content.

Thanks very much for investing your precious time to explain all of these. For the sake of clarity, I will like to know if all that is required for SEO article is the keywords. I can see you mentioned back links, page authority and domain authority. I don't know what they mean, so I will just like to know if I need to understand them before I can write a SEO article. If yes, can you please explain to me what they mean?

Hello Reader,
I am a writer on Fiverr, and I get most of my jobs from my article writing gig. I have come to notice that most people want the SEO articles. I have expertise in writing, and my articles are nonpareil, but I need to extend to the SEO articles. I need someone who writes SEO articles to expound all what it takes to write a SEO article. I am conversant with writing articles with keywords, but I guess that is not all. Thanks to my prospective helper.

Please I need someone with good Fiverr experience to give me a reply.
Seemingly, you need 50 completed orders to get to level 2 on Fiverr. I can also see that it should be done over the course of 2months, and maintaining 4.5 and above. I have completed 35 orders with only 26 reviewed. Out of the 26 that was reviewed, 24 is 5 star, 1 is 4.4 star, and the last one is 4 star. However, the average showing on my profile is 5 star (26 reviews). I will like to know if the 4 star and 4.4 star won't affect my attainment of level 2 status.

Also, is it possible to still get the level 2 if the 50 orders are completed in 2months and few days?

Venzal:
Contact _Nkhay. You'll have no p

As for the later part of your question, that's equivalent to changing your email address all the time to the one of the exchanger to be used.

Kind of risky, if you ask me.

Why would younwant to use different exchangers on same account?

Please I need to be sure about who you recommended, so I don't fall into the wrong hands. Is it _nkhay or nkhay?

I don't intend to use various exchangers, but a lot of unforseen factors can emerge, for which you have to use someone else. For example, if the exchanger is not available and you need money urgently, or if the exchanger has a problem with his PayPal or bank. I am just trying to be prudential, not that I have it in mind to be switching exchangers. Thanks for your quick response and the recommendation.

lilyv8:
I don't use exchangers I use a family member who's abroad.. He has those that cm would convert the PayPal cash to naira and send to me. I have never used an exchanger before.

Can that your family member help we that are not related?

Just when I thought I would spend today happily without talking about Nigeria, Nigerians bash Falz for criticizing musicians praising Internet fraudsters aka Yahoo boys in their music.
I curse the day Nigeria was founded. I curse Luggard who created this shithole. I curse Britain. Anybody who calls himself a Nigerian is an animal. Anybody who criticizes Falz or supports Yahoo boys will lose his life savings to fraudsters.
Tufiakwa. I spit on Osunbande's bald head.

I was about saying something about the curse and the name you gave to every patriotic Nigerian. Then I saw your moniker. It's profoundly elusive for bus conductors to fathom what I intended to type. So I stopped and decided to greet you. Awfa omo better?

jeflexy:
I don't blame the little boy for not respecting his elders.

I blame the boy's mother, it shall never be well with that useless harlot wherever she is.


If only she agreed to the advice of aborting that useless bastard.



Now another miscreant, Afonja, let on the loose to grow into a man and cause harvoc to the superior whites which are much more blessed that the useless black man.



I Pray the whites forgive we useless blacks for our sins against them for we know not what we do.


Amen

Nice reply, but the only problem is that not even an iota of gumption was applied by you when you were typing this. You don't need to take it as an insult, and I am sure you won't. You calling an innocent mother a harlot because of words typed by somebody handling this young boy's IG account is simply nonsense. Or could it be that you didn't know this young boy can't and didn't type all of these? If you say you don't know, then you still lack gumption.

Venzal please can you recommend some trustworthy PayPal exchangers that can help withdraw on Fiverr.
Also, please how can one use different exchangers and avoid being banned by Fiverr

lilyv8:
Hello Sir venzal I'm just seeing this update u know I'm really late. I'm a transcriber and virtual assistant and video subtitler on fiverr and that's where I make my small money since I don't have a job. But I want to earn more thus I've been trying to learn video editing. I managed to get some Lynda. Com videos but I haven't had time to learn. I've learned the basics but I wanted to be perfect before creating a gig and it has been pretty difficult because I have some outstanding stressful orders that ain't paying much. Please what's your advice what simple skill Can I learn. I tried joining upwork but thew bounced me two times telling me I don't have enough skills to offer please I need your help. My email address is lilyforjesusatyahoodotcom. Thank you as I anticipate your reply.

Okay please can you recommend some trustworthy PayPal exchangers that can help withdraw on Fiverr.
Also, please how can one use different exchangers and avoid being banned by Fiverr

Five more positive reviews and you will get to Level 2....then you can increase your pricing. I have a level one writing account where I charge as high as 25-30 dollars for writing jobs of less than 500 words. It's about your profiling of your customers, presentation and negotiation skills. You must come across as an authority and make them see reasons with you why you charge high.

Àa I said, size up your customers first before throwing price. I rather go for 3 jobs of 25 dollars each than 10 jobs of 5 dollars each. Moreover most 5 dollars clients can give trouble for Africa.

I wish you luck.

Either of us is getting it wrong. I learnt that 50 positive reviews is the prerequisite to be a level 2 seller. You said I need 5 more reviews to be a level 2 seller which is contrary to what I learnt.

I am a level 1 seller with almost 30 positive reviews and no bad review. My niche is writing: mission statement, story writing, paraphrasing, and I get most of my orders from article writing. I will like to know if at this stage, I can increase my article writing, paraphrasing and story writing to $10 for 1000 words. I currently charge $5 for 1000 words for articles and stories, and $5 to paraphrase 1500 words, and I get more than 3 orders daily that I always had to go on vacation mode. Please will my intended design have a ramification on the regular orders I get? I will still like to get minimum of 3 orders daily. I want to increase what I charge because the work I do is seemingly surpassing my proceeds. I need rational suggestions please.

Venzal, please I just started Fiverr, and I noticed it is almost a year you created this thread (so I assume you are a year old on Fiverr). Please I will like to know the range of your income monthly on fiverr presently. I can see your first post was $200 or so monthly. Please this is for no other reason than to have an insight of how much one can start earning in like after a year of being active on Fiverr. Knowing this will stimulate a lot of us here to strive with dispatch.

Any person currently in a university in Australia please?

Please if you attended a university in Australia for masters degree in pharmacy, please let me know. I have some questions please.

Justi4jesus please I have a question.
I want to buy an iphone 6s or 7 from ebay
I don't have much to spend, so I want to know all I will spend to buy and deliver it to Nigeria. This will make me compare to the price they sell it here in Nigeria, and then decide. Please if I buy just one iphone 6s or 7, how much will I add extra to get it right to my doorstep. It can be eBay USA or UK tho

Please I have two questions for tugrow.
Firstly, some things I am seeing on 1688 are too cheap to be true. For example, I am seeing an air conditioning fan for 165yen, which is less than 600 naira when converted. Check the picture below to see what I am saying. Please I need to know if that is the real price, or the seller has not added some things. Thanks
Secondly, can I get smartphones like iphone and samsung from there, because I have been trying to find, but I'm rather seeing pouches and whatnot. Thanks

Worwor:
virwox.com

I heard some people are facing the problem of withdrawing their money from virwox. Please how possible is this? Have you used the virwox b4?

Any help please?

Please I need help from anyone that can provide.
I want to buy bitcoins directly from my paypal account.
Normally, I use Luno to buy and sell my bitcoins, but they don't accept PayPal for payment. I don't mind changing my bitcoin wallet platform.
Please don't propose that I withdraw from paypal and send to my bitcoin wallet...I don't want that.
I also don't expect anyone to ask me to send to them the paypal funds, so as to help transfer to a bitcoin wallet....No, I prefer you proposing a bitcoin wallet platform or any other plausible means.
Thanks to my prospective helper.

Globalmoney:
Only a fool will doubt my proof now. That is from an account I just opened a month plus ago.

I don't really like interfering in things like this to prevent unnecessary vituperations, but for the sake of the unsuspecting persons, I will like to say this picture you provided as a proof is an outright bunkum, which calls for suspicion. To gainsay my sentiment, I propose you give out your fiverr username for confirmation.

Please who knows how to send your fiverr money directly into bitcoin. For those that don't really know much about fiverr, they pay you through paypay and payoneer card
