Work From Nairobi, Get Paid in Dollars

Plenty of talented Kenyan freelancers are stuck at low hourly rates, not because their work is weaker, but because nobody showed them how to position, price, and sell to international clients.

Work From Nairobi, Get Paid in Dollars is a step-by-step blueprint for changing that. You begin by understanding the dollar gap and which skills sell internationally, then build a professional profile from zero and learn to write proposals that win. You will work out how to price without undercutting yourself, land your first client, and manage clients across time zones. The book covers getting paid through channels that work from Kenya and into your M-Pesa, building a portfolio from nothing, and understanding how tax applies to foreign income.

If you are ready to grow further, it also looks at scaling from solo freelancer to running a small remote team, all grounded in platforms and payment routes available to you in Kenya.
