Nigerian freelancing

Upworks pay via payoner. I think Payoneer is available even in the countries where paypal is not available. It is a good payment method, however, you need to pay account maintainence fees.

I think that some freelance platfroms allow you to get paid in crypto or other platforms like payeer or perfect money it's hard for them since paypal is so popular

I always say that it's very hard for the people that they don't access the PayPal for some reasons. However they can rely on the market place for making exchange of other forum currencies.

I think the Nigerian freelancers can use crypto currency and other means of payment online to receive their online earnings. There are other good payment options other than PayPal.

Yes that's true but the issue here is that would this sites be willing to pay with other payment methods? Majority of the sites only go with PayPal, it is extremely rare to see the ones that have other payment methods.

Am pretty sure most Nigerians in this platform are into freelancing or have one or two ideas about freelancing. Has anyone had an issue with the payment method? Most freelancing sites works with PayPal and in most cases it can be pretty difficult to have a Paypal account in Nigeria. How do you go about this?

Most of them do use people's PayPal account to receive money or Payment while they give the owner of the account some little percentage for making use of their PayPal account to receive payment.

Most online working sites pay members via PayPal. That is indeed the problem for those whose country PayPal does not accumulate. I am thinking why not all countries PayPal does not accept when it is business.

Of course it's a big problem PayPal is of course nice but sadly not all people have access to PayPal and it's a huge headache for them not a lot offer to pay with bitcoin or other payment methods like skrill

Their government should write a position paper to PayPal management to give the Nigerians access to receive money through its system. Online sites mostly send the members payments through PayPal.

I am not a Nigerian but I fully understand how difficult it is to work online without PayPal. Mine was permanently limited a while back and I have never succeeded in creating a new one. So I have to work in sites that provide other payment methods apart from Paypal.

There are sites that pay crypto and in this forum, members whose mode of payment is not Paypal negotiated their earnings to other members who buy it in crypto. At least they worry less.

I think there are many users from Nigeria that are earning really well and they are multiskilled and that's why most Nigerians if not all are really good at freelancing
