Good day all. I opened upwork some months back but I have not done any work there until yesterday when I read a testimony on how someone got out from being broke to self reliant. I tried getting my password back and bidded for a job and luckily I got it. I did the work perfectly for the client and he paid me the agreed fee of 50 dollars with even a bonus of 5 dollars but the issue is that I can see the money reflect. My questions now
1. How long will it take for it to reflect
2. What is the minimum withdrawal
3. I went for direct bank transfer but I was asked for tax clearance and company name, what should I input
4. I have not gotten any other work again, what should I do to get more jobs.
Thanks and God bless

Happy new year to everyone.

I'm highly elated to be a member of this thread. I have learned a lot from everyone. For those who need my advice, I'm ready to answer all your questions this week . To Karisbright, diamondbright, mcphuture, and others, apologies for not replying your messages. I was critically I'll for about 3 months.

If you think I'm owing you any amount, kindly notify me. To those who I offended last year, I'm very sorry. To err is human. I'm not perfect. I have learned from all my foibles.

My advice to the ambitious writers who want to earn more than $2500/month (it's possible) this year is simple.

Be honest with your clients.

Give them the best service.

Brand your writing service (have you ever considered giving your clients a customized receipt after submitting their projects).

Be very professional. This includes being reliable and meeting deadlines.

Focus more on quality, not quantity.

Hone your skills. Dedicate a swath of your time upgrading your skills.

Wishing everyone the best this new year.

Regards

Topsquino

Please help me out. Upwork is not accepting my skills no matter how many times I tried. I've opened my account since September 2017, but they wont accept my skills. I have followed the suggestions here concerning some skill they may accept, but non worked. I need someone to help me out. THANKS.

From posting of useful tips to the exchanging of funds at juicy rate, FIVERR WhatsApp group members can confidently regard 2017 as a year with wonderful experiences

To start the year 2018 in the best possible way, we will love to honor two group members who made the year much exciting for FREELANCERS in 2017.They contributed to the development of the group and also impact on many lives.No wonder almost all FIVERR group members acknowledged their presence and honor them with awards of BEST FREELANCER OF THE YEAR & EXCHANGER OF THE YEAR.
JUSTIN ONYEMA absolutely dominated the group in 2017 with loads of insightful tips.Of course, he doesn’t only post messages to the group, he also mentored some group members.Justin writes from experience and was strategic in all his actions –maybe that was a reason he references his field of study(STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT) most times. If you’ve never seen his contribution here, we dare you to give it a try on FIVERR GROUP or check some of his unique articles on www.invinciblewriter.com. Odds are you’ll be glad to have joined the group /visited that link to learn from his wealth of experience.


EGONNE1 may be saddled with lots of responsibility in the previous year, but that doesn’t mean she’s is too busy to run a smooth and reliable exchange service in the year 2017.Let this fact sink in for a second: EGONNE is one of the best exchangers out there. That responsive customer service is worthy to mention here. Unlike some exchangers, this pretty woman responds to clients request immediately and complete transaction without any delay.If there will be any delay, that would emanate from situations that are beyond her control.Honestly, we are convinced that she will do better this year.Choosing a reliable exchanger can be difficult, with a certain percentage of them engaging in fraudulent transactions every day.Considering her last year performance, EGONNE1 SERVICE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE SEEKING SAFE EXCHANGE SERVICES.
Follow this link to contact her.

Has anyone here made any withdrawals lately from upwork via the direct local bank method? the current exchange rate is highly ridiculous. i dont even know what to say right now

inspiring but would love to ask if your upwork account is US based or Nigerian

i keep it real, forget that US based account thing, as long as you have the right skill to sell i dont see any reason why you should fake your location, the funny thing is that majority of freelancers are not even americans, Being from US does not in any way give you an edge(in my own niche), you stand a better chance as an asian (especially phillipines, because thats where the majority of upwork freelancers are from).

In conclusion, your location does not count

I quite disagree with that. Locations really count.
But one just has be honest with what one is doing.

Large percentage of freelancers come from third world countries and very few from first world countries. Most first world clients only come online to seek cheap labours or want third world country freelancer to slave away for them.

Having a US location on one's profile will bring in more projects, winning more bid, and more importantly command higher price.

But the prospective or existing freelancers don't have to lie about location before making it on a freelancing platform. With right set of skills and experience, one can compete with almost any freelancers in the market place in one's chosen niches.

IT ALSO DEPENDS ON YOUR NICHE, AMERICANS ARE NOT THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER FREELANCERS IN MY NICHE 'ENGINEERING & ARCHITECTURE'. MAYBE ITS DIFFERENT IN YOUR CATEGORY.

YOU NEED TO FIND OUT ON HOW AMERICAN FREELANCERS GET THEIR FUNDS, I ONLY KNOW THAT WITHDRAWAL FEE IS FREE FOR AMERICANS. AND I KNOW THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE TO PROVIDE A US BANK ACCOUNT SINCE YOU DONT SEE PAYONEER AS AN OPTION. OR YOU GET A DOLLAR ACCOUNT, I HEARD OF THAT FROM A FRIEND. IS PAYPAL PART OF THE AVAILABLE OPTIONS?

Wow....

You're doing far well on Upwork. But if your location were set to be US, you can make all earnings in one or two months.

I have come across people who charge as high as $125 per hour! It is nearly impossible for any freelancers from third world countries to command such price.

And locations to some extent determine success and Upwork approval.

Note that I don't use different location other than my city in Nigeria and I don't encourage it.

If this could be resolved, which I firmly believe it will get resolved, I think it is possible we request them to increase the usual exchange rate from 332NGN/$ to something like 350 NGN/$....
