Expertnaire

Expertnaire has become synonymous with affiliate marketing in Nigeria. However, most Nigerians are still skeptical of the platform as a legitimate means of earning income online, because of the way people view online businesses as shady. Most of this skepticism stems from the fact that most people have not yet understood the mode of operation of the platform, and others have pointed fingers at its meteoric rise in fame since its inception.

Expertnaire is a platform where digital content creators come to sell their products. The way this works is that, digital content creators who are in need of buyers for their products sign up with expertnaire as sellers and put their contents up for sale. The affiliate marketers in turn sell those products to their audience for a stipulated commission upon each sale. This is the entire modus operandi of expertnaire.

The entire process is transparent and both parties walk away happy. So far since it was created, there has not been any report of any fraudulent transaction on expertnaire, so it’s legit and is a proven way of making money online in Nigeria.
