This is an extensive tutorial, its worth the read. I’ve always been reluctant about using fiverr but I’m gonna give it a shot.
I think you forgot the major issue of fiverr, receiving your payment..
Receiving payment from Divert is not an issue at all. You can use PayPal or Payoneer.
Yes, you can operate Paypal in Nigeria and withdraw dire to your bank account in sec… Legally.
Very detail article. I am a level two seller on fiverr, infact I’ll soon be a Top rated seller. I do create and edit videos there. I have been there since 2017.
My advice for those looking to start freelancing on fiverr. Brace yourself, fiverr isn’t as simple as it used to be. There are a lot of sellers on there now. Get a skill before going on there. Goodluck!
Thank you for this input Jay, it goes a long way.
Happy to!
And regarding payment, payoneer is preffered because of the better rate (350/$) compared to PayPal (320/$) when exchanged to naira by selling to Exchangers and importers.
Also, payoneer dosent have problem like PayPal.
So all in all, have a skill and be good at it. Have patient and pray for grace.
Thanks for sharing this money making tips. As easy as it sounds, I believe one must exercise patience and be ready to persevere
Prof, how do you withdraw from a PayPal account legally in Nigeria to your bank account??
