About Fisayo

Fisayo Alexander is a copywriter and sales funnel builder who entered the online business space through affiliate marketing two years ago. He now works with international clients on conversion copy and full funnel builds. For most of his freelance career, the work itself was never the bottleneck. Getting paid was.

The challenge

As a Nigerian freelancer working with international clients, Fisayo ran straight into one of the creator economy's most persistent problems: PayPal restrictions on Nigerian users. Account holds, withdrawal limits, and arbitrary policy changes meant that even after he finished work, he could not reliably get paid.

The stress was compounding. He found himself refunding clients due to withdrawal delays, losing relationships over payment friction rather than quality of work. Every project felt like a coin flip on whether the money would actually reach his bank account.

"The process of getting paid after completing work often involved stress and anxiety, making it difficult to fully focus on business growth."

Why Coachli

Fisayo needed a payment platform that did not flag Nigerian accounts, did not require Tier 1 seller status to access standard payment processors, and settled funds quickly to local banks.

"There is no point working if you cannot get paid. Coachli makes it easy to receive payments and eliminates the anxiety around it."

How Fisayo uses Coachli

Payment links for international clients, with funds settling directly to his Nigerian bank
Coachli product pages for hosting frameworks, templates, and digital deliverables that international clients can purchase directly
Streamlined client interactions: from sending work to processing payment, in a single flow

"Coachli exceeded my expectations. I set up my account in less than 10 minutes, and the first payment was processed in under 2 hours, right into my local bank account."

Results

Account setup completed in under 10 minutes
First international payment processed in under 2 hours
Stress around getting paid reduced significantly, freeing focus for business growth
Coachli now recommended to fellow freelancers and copywriters in his network

"I have been recommending it to my friends and fellow freelancers because it is a game-changer for anyone looking to simplify their business and get paid easily. Coachli has solved a major problem for freelancers by simplifying the process of receiving international payments."
