How To Receive Your Affiliate Cheques/Checks In Nigeria

I get asked a lot from Nigerians who are just starting out affiliate marketing. How do I receive my affiliate cheques here in Nigeria? We all know Nigeria has a bad reputation when it comes to online business, and so many of these companies try to avoid us as much as possible.

While there are many ways to receive your affiliate cheques here in Nigeria, there’s one method (Graphcard) which I’ve had success with, and have proven to be very easy and cheap for beginning affiliates in Nigeria.

Besides helping you to receive and clear your cheques, they also give you a personalized US address with which you can use for your registrations with the various affiliate networks you work with.

Graphcard offers you a personalized virtual US address not just for affiliate marketers, but also for individuals who want to buy and ship items from the US.
Here’s How To Get A US Address And Start Receiving Your Affiliate Cheques With Graphcard:

1. Sign Up For A Free Personal Account With Graphcard.

2. Getting Your US Address.

This is not free, Graphcard charges $4.99 for any month you make use of your personalized US address to receive your affiliate cheques.

To set this up, you’ll need $5 for the setup, and another $4.99 for your first month.

3. Funding Your Graphcard Account With VTN.

Adding funds to your VTN account is simple, log on to your account, at the left navigation menu, click on the “List of Banks to Add Funds” link to get their Nigerian bank account details.

After payment has been made, log on back to their website, at the left navigation menu again, locate and click “Confirm Bank Deposit”, fill the form with the transaction details which you can find on the deposit slip you paid with, and your account should be funded within 24hrs, if not less.

5. Get Your US Address.

Follow the rest of the instructions, and your US address will be registered and emailed to you within 24hrs. Even if you don’t get an email from them (which is highly unlikely), log on to your account, and you’ll see your address boldly displayed for you on the top of the page.

You can use this address to register with the various affiliate network you work with. Once your payment is ready, your cheque will be mailed to Graphcard (LFR Communications, Inc.) who will then help you clear it and credit your account accordingly.

6. How To Withdraw Your Money From Graphcard.

Please Note: I don’t own, and neither am I an affiliate of either Graphcard or VTN. Infact the owners of Graphcard & VTN do not even know who David osajie is, at least as of this writing. They are lucky to be getting this promotional (well, in a way) article.
