I Applied to Breet From Jos: How I Turn $35 Bank Fees Into $0.01 Stories That US Clients Understand

I live in Jos, Plateau State.

Receiving $100 from a US client used to mean losing $35 to bank fees. I would get $65.

Last week I tested something different: Raenest + Solana.

Fee: $0.01. I received $99.99.

I wrote about it. Here is what happened.

THE PROBLEM (Nigerians know it, Americans don't)

In Nigeria, we know the pain. Payoneer, bank wire, PayPal - all charge high fees.

In the US, clients don't know. They think they sent $100, so you got $100.

That gap is where B2B copywriting matters.

WHAT I DID - MY PROOF OF WORK

I didn't just write theory. I tested it.

US client sent USDC on Solana to my Raenest wallet

Raenest received it in seconds

I converted to Naira - Fee was $0.01

I published the story: ibrahimhussaini.substack.com

Result:

First LinkedIn post: 56 impressions in 1 hour

Now: 73 impressions and growing

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR COMPANIES LIKE BREET AND RAENEST

I just applied to Breet for B2B Copywriter (Lagos, Remote).

My pitch was simple:

Banks: $35 to receive $100

Solana + Raenest: $0.01 to receive $100

Savings: $34.99 per transaction

No jargon. Just money saved.

This is what converts:

For Nigerians: "I live in Jos, I know your pain"

For US companies: "I can show your users how much they save"

For Google/LinkedIn: Real story + real numbers = traffic

MY RESUME PLAYBOOK (Copy This If You Are in Jos Too)

I used this structure:

Location: Jos, Nigeria (Remote - Open to Global Clients) - This brings local trust + global trust

Professional Summary: Web3 Writer who makes crypto simple - with real test

Proof, not promises: Link to my Substack, LinkedIn impressions

Why Hire Me: Problem -> Cost Comparison -> Solution

If you are a freelancer in Nigeria trying to get US clients, stop writing "I am a hardworking writer."

Write: "I saved $34.99 on every $100 transaction. Here is proof."
