@ceo_wale@ceo_wale , I so much appreciate this post. It shows how we shouldn't accept everything we hear.
Yes, sir, I'll like to join or be a student of yours, sir. I want you to school me about the freelance opportunity, sir. Kindly obliged me with your response, sir. Thank you, sir.
If you’re just finishing university in Nigeria and trying to move from $0 to. $5,000–$6,000 in a year, here’s what to do : I'm a living testimony I finished uni 2 years ago.
1. Learn a marketable skill. Something that can actually make you money online, design, marketing, automation, development, customer support, anything with global demand.
2. Stay where there’s stable electricity and internet. You’ll spend a lot on data, so plan for that. Your biggest investment right now is access.
3. Get on LinkedIn. Optimize your profile and start connecting. But don’t fill your network with only Nigerians. If you want to earn in dollars, connect internationally, especially in US states that are strong in tech and remote work. Do your research.
4. Don’t pitch. Build. As a beginner, you have no leverage yet. Don’t try to sell yourself, document your learning, show your progress, and post your journey publicly. People respect growth more than empty claims.
5. Build relationships through DMs. Don’t just send one message and disappear. Track who you’ve messaged with a Google Sheet so you can follow up, personalize, and build a genuine connection.
6. Use those relationships for freelance opportunities. If your Upwork isn’t verified yet, onboard clients from LinkedIn first. Then, once Upwork verifies you, you can use it for payments and credibility.
7. Always have a backup plan. When things get tight, you still have LinkedIn, DMs, and Upwork as your lifelines for finding opportunities.
8. Network smart. Get close to female freelancers or tech professionals, they often have stronger networks and are more open to sharing opportunities.
Broke ones will rise again.
But make LinkedIn your best friend.
