The dude dropped the info but you were blind to see it!

I may be blind but I really don't need his poisonous info. People like this will give you something like a bait to scam you for the real catch. So you see I don't patronize such mofos.

I am very impressed with this thread. As a matter of fact I have been wondering why Nigerian youths are not very active on upwork especially.

I outsource all non-core skills in my business to upwork and I am always happy. This year alone I have spent $2400 dollars on upwork.

All my workers have been indians as they have great ICT skills.

God bless victor101for opening this thread but first I will point out something....do not have money alone as a motivation. Yes money should motivate you but do not make it all about money. Believe me you will not be hired.

My first worker did my branding for $150 and since then I have retained him as my permanent brand consultant. I have paid him over $1000 since last year December.

As someone has said here GET VERY VERY GOOD in some skill. Do not carry this Nigerian shortcut, quick route mentality to upwork. You will not succeed.

I like the fact that I will review you and pass the results to the site owners without you seeing what I reviewed. There is also the reviews you can see.

Its sort of an online HR department for my company. I assess workers report and decide who to hire. So first thing first, GET A SKILL AND BE TERRIFIC IN THAT SKILL.

Anybody complaining of the government as a youth in this current global economy is a joke.
pls what kind of skills are required?

stagger:


I will be contacting you and others who have sent me messages in due course. Presently we are very full. This set is being trained with a grant I got from a foreign foundation so you can only imagine the rush we had for the few spaces available. I am working on getting a N4million grant from another foreign foundation. By October I will know the outcome of my application. I am hopeful it will be approved so that appropriate scholarship can be given to those who need to learn some cool skills so that you won't have to pay for the training.

So keep up with the prayers.
sir,i am very interested in the training too.pls sir consider me too.my phone no is 08180293887,07033472751 and my email is shefiu1995@gmail.com
i will be looking forward to your response sir

Bros I've watching you from page zero of this thread up to this point.

Pls pastor bro. Staggar or whatever... Why not be positive instead of being a negative influence on here
That's why I hate people who worship @ LFC sad they're too problematic. Because you quote that passage doesn't mean you're better than an infidel, you hear So, GE_RARA_HERE for REAL man. Stingy poisonous fellow like you are.

Damn!
Hmmm, stagger waz like G.O of his church preaching prosperity is good without d clues on how to succeed. am a Christian too but dont attend such church. honestly, stagger is a cancerworm to this thread because his blabbing makes some loss interest at early stage.

It seems people, I mean some actually, do not know the meaning of SKILL.

In local parlance, it means "handwork". So what handwork do you possess as a prospective feelancer? Can you draw? Do graphics. Can you write? Do article writing? Can you code? Build apps, websites, themes and plugins.

Just name it!

To acquire some relevant skills, visit www.udacity.com co-founded by:

Sebastian Thrun (born May 14, 1967) is an educator, programmer, robotics developer and computer scientist from Germany. He is CEO and cofounder of Udacity, an institution he cofounded with David Stavens and Mike Sokolsky. He was a Google VP and Fellow, and a Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University.

source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_Thrun

Don't let money be the ultimate motivating factor before you decide to acquire relevant skills especially if and/or when you hear (listen to) tales by moonlight.

I posted about Elance and Odesk some years back on this site in 2013 ( https://www.nairaland.com/1378158/global-freelance-jobs ) without mentioning mouth-watering sums. Until you mention huge figures people generally would not listen to you or take you serious.

Once again people interested in acquiring some tech skills should simply visit www.udacity.com
is Udacity free?

Acquire a skill that you can sell on that site. That was my secret. When you are that good, no one will want to know your country of origin. Skills speak!

what skill exactly sells the most sir if I may ask?

Who has asked for your patronage, Mr man? What do u have for me to patronize you? Is it your empty bank account, your empty skull or your empty words?

How old were you when I bought my first car 20 years ago?Probably still in diapers...

For someone who has made so much from the 'very scarce' skills, I'm amazed you need to be told something very glaring about yourself - that you are proud, and you still go on to interpret it as jealousy!

Meanwhile, I recall someone asked you to share the link to your profile? Don't bury that.. common!
