Step-by-step
Remote work has gone from a pandemic workaround to a permanent feature of professional life in Lagos.
Step-by-step
Communication: beyond WhatsApp
WhatsApp remains dominant for informal coordination, but international clients expect Slack or Microsoft Teams.
Productivity and project management
Notion has replaced scattered documents for many Lagos-based freelancers. Trello is simpler for kanban-style task tracking.
Payments and invoicing
For international clients, Payoneer and Wise are the most reliable for receiving USD and converting to naira.
Key takeaways
- Use Slack or Teams for client communication, not just WhatsApp
- Google Meet needs no download — best for quick client calls
- Toggl Track or Clockify for time tracking if you bill hourly
- Wise or Payoneer for receiving international payments reliably
