You know Fiverr exists.
You just do not know where to actually start.
This session answers the exact questions that stop most Nigerians before they begin. Not theory — a person who has already done it, walking you through what he did, live.
- You have heard about Fiverr and Upwork but have not created a gig — or created one that got zero orders
- You do not know how to write a gig description that actually converts browsers into buyers
- You are not sure what to charge, how to position yourself, or what skill to lead with
- You have seen other Nigerians earning on Fiverr but cannot figure out what they are doing differently
- You are worried about competing with sellers from countries with more established freelance reputations
- You understand exactly how to set up a Fiverr profile that builds trust with international buyers
- You know what makes a gig description convert — from someone with 396 orders proving it works
- You have a specific, realistic plan for getting your first order within 30 days
- You know how to price for the market you are actually in, not the one you are imagining
- You leave with the mindset shift that turns "I cannot compete" into "I know exactly what to do next"
Six things Nsikak figured out
so you do not have to.
Every topic comes from lived experience — not a course he took, not something he read. These are the exact decisions and moves that built his 396-order, 4.9-star profile from scratch in Nigeria.
Nsikak earns from two completely different skills — book editing and frontend development. He will walk through how he decided which one to lead with, how he validated demand before going all in, and what the decision process should look like for you.
The title, the description, the tags, the packages. Nsikak will share what his highest-converting gigs look like and explain the specific choices that most first-time sellers get wrong. This alone is worth the 90 minutes.
Where to start, when to raise your rates, and how to move from competing on price to competing on value. Nsikak will explain exactly how his pricing evolved from his first order to where it is today.
Every seller with 400 orders was once a seller with zero. Nsikak will talk through exactly how he got his first few orders, what worked, what did not, and the specific mindset that keeps most beginners stuck at zero forever.
Nsikak's profile notes an exceptional number of repeat buyers. That does not happen by accident. He will walk through how he communicates with clients, delivers work, and handles the relationship that turns a single order into a long-term income stream.
Most Nigerian freelancers treat their location as a disadvantage. Nsikak does not. He will explain how he positions himself, handles the currency and payment side, and why being Nigerian is actually an edge if you use it correctly.
One person who did it.
One person who teaches it.
Nsikak has been building a real freelance income on Fiverr since 2020 — from Nigeria. He offers two distinct services: professional book editing and beta reading, and frontend development. He has not just tried Fiverr. He has built a verified, sustainable business on it with 396 completed orders, a 4.9 star rating from 332 reviews, and an exceptional number of repeat buyers noted by Fiverr itself.
Peter Bassey Okon is the founder and lead trainer at SkillsVerse Technologies. He is a Google Digital Skills for Africa certified trainer, a Boost with Facebook programme trainer, and Curator of the Lagos Hub at the Global Shapers Community — a World Economic Forum initiative. He earns in dollars monthly from AI-powered client work with companies in the UK, US, and Australia — working remotely from Nigeria.

- You want to understand the real strategy behind getting your first review and building from there
- You are a SkillsVerse student who wants to know how to turn your AI skills into Fiverr income
Four Practical Ways to Earn with AI
Taught live while you watch.
We start with a blank screen and finish with a completed project. You’ll see the entire process happen in real time, so you know exactly how to replicate it yourself.
Build a complete, professional business website from a single brief. The kind of website Nigerian businesses currently pay developers ₦150,000 to ₦400,000 to produce. Done in under 15 minutes.

- Set up basic SEO so the site appears on Google without an agency
- Win international projects on Fiverr and Upwork at $200–$600 each
A complete marketing campaign — 30 days of Instagram content, Facebook ad copy with 5 variations, and a 5-email product launch sequence — produced live for a real Nigerian brand in under 12 minutes. This is what agencies in Lagos charge ₦200,000–₦500,000 per month to deliver.

640+ trained.
Here is what changed for them.
These are specific outcomes from specific people who applied what they learned. Results depend on effort and consistency — we do not promise identical outcomes.
"I had done three online courses before SkillsVerse. Finished all three. Nothing changed. Eight weeks in, I landed my first data analysis contract before the programme even ended. The difference is you actually build things. From day one."
"Every piece of work I produced was reviewed — honestly, specifically, with clear direction on what to fix. By Week 5 my output quality had completely transformed. I now manage social media for 4 clients. It paid for itself in 6 weeks."
"I started this as a stay-at-home mum who writes as a hobby. Eight weeks later I had my first international contract. $400 a month from a US client, paid to my Payoneer, from my laptop at home. I cried when I saw the transfer."
Not freelance hype or random gigs.This is about building a stable income
I started earning online in 2022. That experience opened the door to larger roles and long-term contracts. During the session, I’ll show you how this career path works and how it translates into a predictable compensation structure.

The person who built SkillsVerse
and still runs every programme
I have spent more than eight years doing one thing consistently — making digital skills practical, accessible, and immediately usable for professionals and businesses across Africa.
I have trained on Google's Digital Skills for Africa programme, delivered sessions under Boost with Facebook, and worked in collaboration with TechQuest STEM Academy and Junub Open Space on the Female Entrepreneur Support Programme — reaching professionals across Nigeria and South Sudan. I am also the Curator of the Lagos Hub of the Global Shapers Community, a World Economic Forum initiative.
That question became SkillsVerse. A training company built entirely for the world as it is — not as it was. One that treats AI not as something to fear or ignore, but as the most powerful enabler available to any professional willing to learn how to use it.
I maintain direct oversight of every cohort, every private student, and every corporate training delivered under the SkillsVerse name. I believe that digital literacy and skills education are not optional for Nigeria's future — they are the foundation it is built on.
