Everything in this world is saturated but there is always space for newcomers to put their own personal twist on things.
I had the reverse with Fiverr. For some reason, I just can't understand that platform but Upwork has been good to me.


Giveaway ke?
My parents are the ones taking care of their extended families. The meagre sum I insist on giving them is strictly for them to spoil themselves with.
As for tithe, my church has an effective charitable wing so I am assured that it is put to good use.
Per my siblings, they love calling at all times to ask for things with school. So allocating that budget to them frees me from dipping into my savings whenever they call.

Buying a car now won't make sense because I rarely go out. Building a house will mean I have to stay in a place permanently and ion like dat. Renting gives me the freedom to move anywhere. I want to travel around the world one day while working.

Won't mention my tribe but my state has a beach

I agree that the Freelance space is saturated, I wished I came earlier though. How una take dey get job for Fiverr self. I have made only about $850 on Fiverr, but for Upwork I have made almost $4K there this year, and about $5K outside Upwork.


Freelancing no easy o, it keeps someone awake sometimes late into the night.

@bold:

You don't see ladies around you doing the above?

Besides, why should the OP who works from home and is an introvert in her words buy a car in Oshogbo?

One thing with Freelancing is a lot of peeps will want to join and start cashing out immediately. They will be like come teach me freelancing na. And when you give them something to read they will run away. I gave a friend Venzal's guide to freelancing some months ago, he read a few pages and told me it is too long, that reading is not his thing. That i should show him a faster way to do this thing jare.

Freelancing no easy o, but it pays. Signed up on Upwork late last year. Couldn't land a gig till early this year, at a point a was almost giving up cos I had used up my free connect and even bought connect. After my first job, it's been jobs back to back. I am not a pro yet but i average about $800 to $1200 monthly.

If you don't mind, how much do you charge for 2k words?
And can you write on any topic?
Are you seo inclined? (Not a must though, I can give you a framework)

BabyGhoul:
Sorry but I can't take on any jobs now. I am really swamped with work.
Thanks for the offer, though.

chatinent:


I once conducted a training. I charged ₦10k for the full training.

Some of my students are cashing out now. In fact, I have a training on getting an approved Upwork account..and landing your first gig.

Think big.

MMotimo:
The OP is doing well.
She knows the first rule - do not do anything for the sake of impressing the Joneses. If more Nigerians reason like she does and just exercised some financial discipline, they would have more money.

A car is a depreciating asset that would just gobble up her money. She would have to pay for regular maintenance and gas at the minimum. If she buys brand new, the dealerships will strangle her with their charges. If she buys a used vehicle, the roadside Kazeems won’t be any kinder. Some people, if they really thought about it, can trace their money struggles to the first vehicle they bought in their life - wiped out their savings and the recurring expenses just impoverished them. Never buy a car unless you really need one and make sure your income can accommodate the future expenses for it. Transportation is a means to an end, only buy what you can afford.
