2. Daud Sulaimon Abiola
Call him the Freelancer encyclopedia and you wouldn’t be mistaken. Here is a man who knows the freelancing world like the back of his hand. When it comes to earning online from the comfort of your home, there has never been a guy better to point you in the right direction than Daud. He has practically helped thousands of people succeed through the freelancing lifestyle. Young and vibrant, Sulaimon’s passion to see people excel and actually earn money online working remotely is incredible. Every single one of his posts is laced with practical steps and tools that you can actually use to succeed as a freelancer wherever your country of residence though his focus is on Nigeria. His vast knowledge in the freelancing industry has exposed him to a wide array of networks that he dashes out to his teeming followers, just to spur them on — as many Nigerian youths still see earning legitimate money online as a myth.
Daud Sulaimon Abiola popularly called OmoAlhaja is the founder of Zero to $5k in a Month, a Telegram community peopled with hungry and hardworking Nigerian graduates who are willing to change their current financial realities by engaging in a legitimate online work lifestyle. When asked why he was so passionate about helping Nigerians make money online by offering digital skills, Abiola said (in one of his social media engagements) that he was usually disheartened by the negative news of Nigerian youths engaging in an illegal online hustle. And he wanted to become the reason many other youths looking up to these Yahoo Boys did not eventually join them; he wanted to let them know there was an alternative, that’s even more rewarding.
Go on Abiola’s Facebook walls and Twitter feeds, and you would marvel at how much of the freelancing resources are at his disposal. And he has ever been so generous with them. From sharing resources on skills to acquire to teaching how to pitch potential clients, and writing a winning proposal, his Facebook and Twitter posts are — no exaggeration intended — much more beneficial and implementable than all of the resources any Freelancing guru out there could ever sell to you.
