I’ve seen a lot of new faces around here lately, and I just realized I’ve never done an introduction. So, here goes… Hi, I’m Ochai.. 👋🏾 I’m a Freelancing, Tech, and Personal Growth Creator and Coach. I’ve been freelancing for 6 years, earning over $300K, and now help young Africans build sustainable careers through freelancing and tech. I’m an advocate of getting 1% better every day, not chasing overnight transformation. I treat freelancing as a systems and worldview game. Not a “templates and formats” game. For my clients, I write and manage SEO content for B2B brands in tech and business. I also coach African freelancers on how the game actually works. Not how it's supposed to work. How it actually works. And I help aspiring tech professionals figure out what to learn, how to break in, and how to build a career from it. So far: ✅ $300K+ earned across platforms. ✅ $150K+ earned on Upwork specifically, where I'm a Top Rated Plus freelancer. ✅ 250+ student testimonials. ✅ 30,000+ freelancers impacted through courses, webinars, and live events. (Click the link in my bio to learn from me.) I also hold a First Class BSc in Cybersecurity, which mostly means I think in systems and think I can spot a scam from three miles away. (Let’s not test that, please. That’s not why we’re here.) 😂 I founded Freelancers Corner, a free and fast-growing community for African talents going global. I’m also currently building Jaar, the trust layer for social commerce. Outside work I'm a gym rat, off-and-on chess player, anime fan, and knowledge lover. Oh, and I have a slight sarcasm problem. You've been warned. 🫵🏾 Here's what to expect from me here: I talk about freelancing, Upwork, tech, personal growth, and the realities of building a global career from Africa. Expect practical systems, hard-earned lessons, and the occasional uncomfortable truth delivered with a smile (sometimes). (ignore the attached picture, I actually bite… most times). Lastly, pounded yam is the greatest meal ever discovered. Repost for a young African building a career through freelancing, remote work, or tech. 🔁 Follow along. Let's grow. See you up top. 🔝

Happy New Week! We’re gonna eat so good this week. 🍀

This.

The number 1 positioning mistake on most African freelancers' profiles.

Lagos be like madness competition, because why is this girl warning me to open eye so I’m taken seriously. 😂

Basically, if you’re interested in learning how to land clients, whether national, international, multinational, supernational o, or anyone via freelancing. …or you want to learn how to build a sustainable freelance career and business… …this is for you. At the academy, we’ll go beyond just Upwork and cover freelancing properly. Internal arrangements are currently ongoing, and I’ll need your help to structure the program in a way that helps you best. So fill this form to join us: forms.gle/gF8gZHeqWTaGXd9u9 P.S: if you were in my DM previously and you see this now, or you’re interested in being a part of this, kindly fill the form to join us.

Over the past 5-6 weeks, I’ve gotten so many requests from people wanting to learn freelancing from me and I turned them down. But I recently realized that instead of turning away all these people, I could actually do something for them. So if you’re one of those people who reached out to me earlier, I’m finally putting something together for you. Btw, this isn’t just for Upwork alone. I’m planning to build a proper academy (not just a course) where we’ll go beyond just Upwork and cover freelancing properly. I wanted to backtrack my messages and reach you all privately, but where I wan start abeg? I’ve put up a form to get feedback from you so I know how to structure things. Check the comments if you’re interested.
