It's time to stop playing small, start charging more than you are worth

How Nigerian Freelancers Are Ditching Cheap Gigs and Getting Paid in Dollars (Without Begging for Work)

A 30-day challenge that helps you package your skills, position for premium clients, and finally earn more than you deserve.

I put the $500 freelance challenge together for Nigerian freelancers who know

  • They’re underpriced compared to international peers despite their skills.

  • They’ve outgrown local gigs and want clients who respect their expertise.

  • They’re already earning but are ready to break into higher-value international markets.

  • Chasing small jobs isn’t it, they want premium, repeat clients.

  • Freelancing isn’t about more hours but smarter work and stronger currencies.

You see, the $500 FREELANCE CHALLENGE is designed to do 3 important things for you as a freelancer

  • Position you for premium clients who value your skills and pay accordingly.

  • Give you a repeatable system for landing opportunities without begging or chasing.

  • Lay the foundation for limitless growth, so your earnings keep scaling beyond $500.

You see, the $500 Challenge isn’t about stopping at $500.


It’s about setting up the systems, positioning, and mindset that allow you to

consistently attract clients who pay in dollars, so that $500 becomes just the starting point, not the finish line.

I would be exposing my strategies for getting clients who pay me a lot for my skills.

These are strategies that I have tried and tested, and I can tell you for sure that they work like mad

And it doesn't matter if you are a:

  • Social media manager

  • Video editor

  • Content Writer

  • Webdesigner

  • Copy Writer

  • Graphic designer

  • Frontend devoloper

  • Brand strategist...

If it is an online or digital skill, I will show you the roadmap to monetizing it and getting paid well for it.

Look, let me be honest with you

There’s serious money online. I mean, bastard money, and people are earning it without all the stress you’re going through.

I actually used to think Nigerians couldn’t really make money in dollars.


The way people talked about it made it sound like a war that normal people cannot win.

And I'm sure you have heard people say it before

"Foreign clients hate Nigerians."

"You need to fake your identity to actually get jobs."

"It is too competitive and saturated."

But the truth is, a lot of us are still making money selling our skills for dollars instead of naira.

Even fashion designers are doing it...

Artists are doing it...

Designing outfits for clients, oceans away from them.

Selling their art to their international audience

And you're still wondering if it is possible to sell your skills. Lmaoo

The Craziest Part is....

It is not all about skill. It's about information.

I know people who sell writing skills and are not all that great writers.

They are just good at working these platforms and making other freelancers do the work for a tiny cut of the whole pie.

All is fair in love and capitalism...

If you don't learn how to get your jobs in dollars, you get underpaid and pressured....

This was me in 2020 and early 2021, writing for scraps...

Overworked doing projects I didn't care about that didn't pay me enough for the headache.

Relying on inconsistent referrals and fighting for my life.

The difference between freelancers stuck in the Nigerian market charging ₦50k-₦100k

and those earning $500-$2000 for the same work isn't talent, it's positioning.

It is a combination of marketing and sales skills... both of which I have had to master.

Look, the people charging these prices are not exactly better than you.

They just have info you don't have, and they execute at a speed you don't

My first online job paid me ₦17,000. I spent 4 sleepless nights writing and researching.

Thinking I'd hit the jackpot, I was so excited that I went to a restaurant and bought jollof rice, fried rice, and turkey.

I sat there smiling to myself, thinking

"I finally did it. I finally made money with my skills."

Then I found out others were earning $200 for the exact same work.

Na once I clean my lip combo

That's when I decided: I was going to earn the big bucks, no matter what.

I searched for mentors, got trained, and made my first $1,000.

Since then, I've earned over $30,000 designing websites for international clients.

If I had stayed in the Nigerian market, I'd still be competing for jobs that wouldn't even cover my monthly data subscription.

I decided to become a babygirl instead... Suffering is not my portion.

I KNOW MANY COACHES HAVE PROMISED YOU HEAVEN AND EARTH

I will also promise you heaven and earth; the difference is, I will actually make it a reality.

Because I'm different...

Heehee, I am an actual monetization coach,

not some broke freelancer looking for a quick side hustle to make fast money.

  • I've been where you are. I know what it's like to pitch and get ghosted. I know the frustration of being undervalued. I know the struggle of trying to figure out Upwork alone using just Google and YouTube.

  • I've cracked the code. I went from charging ₦50,000 for websites to charging $1,000+ for the same work. I learned how to position myself as an expert, not just another freelancer begging for work.

  • I've taught others to do the same. My students have gone from struggling to make their first dollar online to consistently landing high-paying international clients.

My methods work Like mad and I have evidence

Vena landed 4 consistent gigs using what I taught her

Otera got her first job after using the strategies I taught her in my upwork course

.

Roheema got the upwork Rising Star badge after taking my Upwork course

Favour had his first $1000 month

Look I don't bluff or make empty promises...

I am that good. I have more reviews to share...

This can also be you if you work with me.

I'm not just teaching theory - I'm sharing what actually worked.

When I was starting out, I made every mistake in the book:

  • Tried to learn everything from scattered YouTube videos

    • Got proud and stopped listening to mentors

    • Didn't build a personal brand (this mistake almost cost me my entire income)

    • Said yes to terrible clients who stressed me out

    • Kept jumping between skills instead of mastering one

Each mistake taught me something valuable, and I'm going to save you from making the same ones.

I've spent over 5 years in the trenches,

built a community of 10,000+ people across multiple platforms,

and helped countless freelancers escape the Nigerian market trap.

Most importantly: I understand the Nigerian freelancer's struggle.

I know what it's like to fight for your life financially while trying to build something better.

I know the depression that comes from feeling stuck.

And I know exactly how to break free from it.

That's why this challenge works - because it's built on real experience, real mistakes, and real victories.

🔥 Show up with energy and focus daily

If you know me, then you know I don't play around when I give conditions to work with me. If you don't meet my conditions and I find out, I may not refund you before kicking you out. It means you decided to dash me money.
