Hello people, I am a young African dependent man who is still single though old enough to be married. No thanks to the deep biting unemployment situation that ravages my country. I would like to know if there is a way to get connections to regular or permanent international gigs or business companies. I already know about fiverr, upwork, freelancers and other freelancing sites. Fiverr has truly helped me to cope a bit with money with my religious writing gigs, and upwork has helped me earned a little in romance writing. But I would like this community to help me with more opportunities that can help me earn. It doesn't have to be the use of third party site like fiverr because it is difficult to earn from there. It may be a more serious opportunities like various international companies or individuals who are looking for trustworthy Africans to help them in their business. I am willing to be a reliable and trustworthy employee for any international business opportunity out there. I can write, edit and outsource many other gigs for professionals. If there are more serious info to pass across to me, I welcome the use of direct mail to my inbox. Thank you!

    I am not a troll nor essay question poser. What I asked may seem ridiculous, but I am very serious. I believe there is no harm in asking for help. No one knows when opportunities may start coming around. It is possible to find solution where one least expects. Thank you!

    Anyone really looking for anyone to help them with their business, African or not, doesn't pick up anonymous strangers on the internet to do it!

    On the positive, for the person from a 'ravished' country who has English as a second (or Third or fourth..) language, your written English is damn good. You sound smart enough to figure this out yourself if you are genuine.

    African eh?

    Strange that you refer to the continent you come from, rather than the country...

    It's like a French person calling themselves European rather than French. Methinks I smell a troll.
