Well noted...Thanks.

BTW, I have a Nigerian account created about a year ago. Just got my first contract last week.

Interestingly, Upwork suspended my account for excessive proposal sending without winning contracts, saying it seems the community has no need of my skills.

I appealled the ban, highlighting the success of my new contract and thankfully, the lifted the restriction.

Just today, I rejigged my profile and skills to reflect more high-demand niches that I can offer. However, I'm taking my time to avoid been tagged for proposal spamming without commensurate result and all.

Really optimistic that my (re)entry into online freelancing will pay off this time.

Thanks a bunch!

wman:


Long proposals tailormade to fit with the project description.

You must do all you can to win the buyer and convince him/her that you are the best person for the job.

Bidding below the price doesn't work most times. They might just see you as incapable for the job.

Bid for jobs that fit your profile the most.

Staying online is a bonus.

Your next account must be a NIgerian account.

I use a UK account and I had no business with that. I think it is for people using US accounts.

Okay! We're getting there.

I got this message [screenshot below] from Upwork that my first client has paid.

On checking the payment log, I could still see $0.00. Is that meant to be?

Meanwhile, I need a trusted exchanger to help with withdrawing the fund.

I already have m Payoneer details linked to my another account.

Thanks

Congrats, bro. It takes about five days for your earnings to clear. If you check Transaction History you should see the date the money will be cleared for withdrawal.

It seems Upworks is verifying profiles, because I just verified mine over a Skype call where you are request to turn on your video so they can see your face.

Hi Guys,
Please help me.
My account was permanently banned after video call verification.. I received video call verification notice just few days after changing my profile pic to that of a lady, I got incredible results (more offers). I have an active contract...Should I complete the contract? Will I be able to withdraw payments?
Re: Elance.com, Upwork.com And Other Freelancing Site: How To Succeed Guide. by tolajay: 6:58am On Mar 15, 2017
It's a Nigerian account, right?

I don't understand the question ? it's an Upwork account is there a Nigerian one ? it's everyone that's getting verified not just Nigerians if that's what you mean
Re: Elance.com, Upwork.com And Other Freelancing Site: How To Succeed Guide. by tolajay: 8:05am On Mar 15, 2017
What I meant is if you registered and got verified as a Nigerian.

In case you don't know, there are Nigerians who run either a UK/US account. For those, verification becomes impossible when Upwork initiates it for them.

Just to state, verification, at moment, isn't a general phenomenon until your account is marked as suspicious. I have had my account for years (though inactive until recently), but I have not received a directive for video verification.

Interesting, I now understand what you mean, I didn't even think of that i have had this account since odesk, I thought it was everyone being verified maybe it's mostly Suspicious accounts i guess. it's even know i realize you must not mention PayPal on the message platform or give out your email

The bolded isn't exactly true. While it is a violation of Upwork policy to include contact details in your PROFILE, exchanging emails and contact information isn't a violation of that policy as long as it's not done suspiciously. I've exchanged my email, phone number, Skype as well as whatsapp details with numerous clients without any hassles. Sometimes, it's absolutely necessary. Thing is, just don't shoot yourself on the foot. Be smart about how you go about it.

In the message section I mean because it even flags any email to warn me. It's not like am making it up. When I get ftp details with a username like email it triggers a warning and I think a request is sent because I notice some http request going from my end to them.
