But for some Nigerians, the same fall means their income buys more, because they are paid in dollars.

They didn't japa. They work from their rooms in Lagos, Ibadan, Uyo and Kano, serving clients in the US, UK, Canada and Europe.

This book shows you exactly how they do it.

Inside, You'll Learn How To

  • Land your first foreign client, and why most Nigerians on Upwork and Fiverr never do
  • Work as a virtual assistant for busy founders and executives on monthly dollar retainers
  • Write LinkedIn posts, emails and content for founders who pay in hard currency
  • Design pitch decks and presentations for startups raising money
  • Build small digital tools that earn from users and clients
  • Write short, practical guides for Nigerians in the diaspora
  • Run ad campaigns for local businesses and get paid on results
  • Recruit tech talent for companies abroad and earn placement fees
  • Receive your money safely through Nigerian fintech platforms, and keep part of it in dollars

You'll also learn what never to do

Fake clients, payment scams, and illegal "assignment writing" that can follow you for life.
