Perhaps, you are a veteran freelancer but you are considering Fiverr as a site you can work on. Don't look back. Fiverr is one of the places you can actualize your potentials, if not the only place for you.

Ah! But you're a Nigerian. You have been told that Nigerians are not allowed to create gigs on Fiverr. I too have been told. They say you have to change your IP address and all of that before you can operate there. Come off that, don't believe naysayers.

fiverr top 5 gigs for Nigerians

==>1. Writing:If you have some dexterity in language uses and you are conversant with concord and syntactic characteristics of the language, then you can join Nigerians on Fiverr who earning more than their daily living there. 


Create a catchy gig offering to write about 500 words for $5 and you will see the flood of interest expressed in your service by the potential employers. Included in the writing gig are categories like content writing, blogging, creative writing, article writing, fictions, non-fictions, and features. Others may be news writing, sports analysis, business analysis and reviews. 


A lot of Nigerians are also finding their breakthroughs by writing movie scripts, resumes and cover letters, legal documents and transcripts. For grabs also in writing gig is translation service.

==>2. Graphic Design: Many Nigerians are into graphic designs on Fiverr. That's the gig with unarguably the highest number of freelancers. As at the last count, I stopped after counting the 20th category of graphics design. Interestingly there is no dull moment for any of its categories. However, some are in hotter demand than the other. Freelancers are cutting their edges on such activities as Logo Designing. 

That's where you find most employers' interests. Time again, there is always need for someone who could design a logo for companies and small businesses. Apart from logo designing, other divisions of graphics design that marketable currently are: 2D and 3D designs, banners design, photo editing and FB cover design. 

Others are e-book cover design, illustration, flyers, posters, infographics, business card designs. Things related to graphics are unlimited. If you think you can develop your skills in any of these areas of graphics don't waste time! I can tell you that some Nigerian freelancers are making as much as $2,000 in a month from just one of theses.

==>3. Web Programming: A lot of Nigerians ply their web programming trade online and the marketplace is mostly Fiverr. Somehow you should be able to find some gig for yourself here as there are numerous categories of web programming that are in hot demand. 

Nigerians are raking in dollars mostly in WordPress. In economics terms, the demand for this service is more than the supply of it. That means there is still a room for you there. Other services related to Web Programming that I have seen Nigerians hands on are fixing and customization (where you help bloggers fix their blogging issues). Installation and creation of blogs.

==>4. Video Animation:  Nigerian freelancers have discovered the potentials of video animations. So almost all freelancers who know their onions have added this to their gigs if and when they are able. We have found that video contents are beyond plagiarists unlike other contents of the web. That is one of the reasons video animators are in hot demand. 


Because of the perceived cheap rates on Fiverr, your clients there, searching for services like yours. Incidentally, thousands of dogged Nigerian freelancers on Fiverr who know one or two things about animations are plying their trade there. If you too have some skills in video creation, you could make your money selling for websites, including YouTube. 

Other hot categories of video animation in demand on Fiverr are 2D or 3D videos, speed drawing, animated logo, web transcription, voice over and of course, the mighty whiteboard animations.

==>5. Digital marketing: This is a very recent gig on Fiverr. But trust smart Nigerians, they have been able to explore it and are adding this best seller to their gigs. Other services that are hitherto considered as part of other gigs have navigated their ways to digital marketing. 

Therefore check the broad thing out and see the categories under it where you can market your services. Some of them are, SEO, SEM, Email Marketing, bid sponsoring, lead generation, Web traffic generation, social media marketing, keyword research and of course, market research.

I cannot authoritatively assert that the above 5 gigs are the only services you find Nigerian rendering on Fiverr. Nigerians are smart people and I'm proud to say that. You never can say what my brilliant friends are digging out as you are reading this. But I can tell you that you can make good money if you concentrate on anyone of them you feel good at among these gigs above.
