Emeraldfynest:
Got my biggest job ever today

Congratulations

Sulele04:

Thank you though, but I am not a writer I am a shopify designer.

Getting clients through Upwork has been hard, also do I need my availability badge to be on after sending proposal & be online to considered.

Personally, I haven't seen any difference with the availability badge toggled on or off. Though I turn it on once in a while just incase.

I hope you write your proposals from scratch and not with a template? Send as many proposals as you can afford and ALWAYS include links to past projects in your proposals. Try these tips. They work for me.

Sulele04:

Sorry what's the full meaning of lr.

LR is Livingston Research. Just type Livingston Research freelance on Google and it'll take you to the freelance part of the site.

It's for writers and you'll have to pass a test to become a freelancer on the site.

Do you have a Payoneer or chipper card? Try those

Emeraldfynest:
Yes we're totally done and he doesn't have any corrections or review about the job. But if I end the contract myself, that means I've closed any chances of him leaving a review right?

No, I don't think so. A contract has to end for the client to write a review. Even if he wants to give a review on his own, he has to end the contract first. I'm not very certain though. Maybe someone else can shed some light on that part

Emeraldfynest:
Hello guys, good evening. So I got my first Upwork job like 3 weeks ago, it was a website redesign job for a client and I finished the job well.
The client liked it and has even given it to a developer to implement.

But after I handed over and he paid, he didn't end the contract or leave a review, it's been more than a week now. I've messaged him but no response.

Can I send him an email even though that's against Upwork's rules? I really need that review as my first so I can also get my JSS.
Pls what do you think?’

If you're sure you're done working together and he has paid already (not under review o), then you can go ahead and end the contract yourself. You can also politely ask him for a review. Since that's your first job, you'll definitely need that 5 star review

3RNEST:

Wetin happen

Nothing o. I just say make I hail u

qtguru:

angelanto8:
Hello guys!

Please, can I withdraw funds from payoneer to opay? Thank you.

Yes, but not at black market rate

Tplkenny:
My earnings is now available for me to withdraw for the first billing week. do I need to inform my client about the payment? Although the project is still ongoing but I have finished with my own part, waiting for the client to send the work back to me before I continue. Thanks

If it's showing under available, then you can go ahead and withdraw it.

JohnPortar:
Every one of you wants to 'japa', when you get there, you pay taxes without complain.

You claim you don't want to pay in Nigeria because of corruption as if na only Nigeria corruption dey.

Lagos state is miles ahead of other states in Nigeria (despite corruption) because the state has more than enough money.

Give Nigeria a chance, there is only so much those "corrupt people" can "eat"

Is this really up for debate? When you pay tax abroad, don't you see what they use it for? Wo abeg I'm not up for this. Pay ur tax make I pay my own.

samsard:
I have roads where I live. Ask your government.
And you cannot claim to only drive through untarred roads even if you think your government is irresponsible.

I don't think they're irresponsible. I KNOW they're very irresponsible and they don't care about me and u

samsard:
Hope you'll ask Upwork for good roads & other infrastructure.

All the ones you've been paying how many roads have they fixed for u?

JohnPortar:
Whatever is worth doing, is worth doing well.

Upwork has been deducting your tax, the least you can do is make sure it gets to the government.

Better it goes to Upwork than the government

Olawrites:


Hmmmn, say 1% of Nigerians using Nigeria account get ahead. I bet they faced hell.

It's way more than 1% though. From your monicker, it seems you're in the writing niche. I'll agree that it might be a tasking to break even with a Nigerian account in that niche. But for so many other niches, Nigerians with Nigerian accounts are actually doing very well

ArticleBeast:

Bro please check. It is 12 digits instead of 11

I counted 11. I think the confusion is the last 4 digits. 5906 not 50906

Passionet:
Please Is there any one who registered with geegpay recently? How long does it take them to verify an account for full access?

Took me almost a month

Deypray:
Wow. Good to hear this. Thank you.

You're welcome

Deypray:
Hello everyone,

Pls have access bank and payooneer settled their fight?

I've really missed sending funds from payooneer to my access dorm directly.

Yes, they have. It's working well now

Ayomipoe:
Why not use https://noones.com it is simply Paxful rebranded. I migrated my data completely from Paxful and I have already traded Wise several times on the new Platform

I'll check it out. Thank you 🙏🏿

Ayomipoe:
I mentally track their rates with naira4dollar.
The only reason why I use them is because of convenience, and that UBA DOM account prevents you from transferring with the mobile app.

I hear access bank still works with Payoneer though. And you can easily transfer to another access dom account. I think I'll be going back to that method since paxful is no longer an option.

Ayomipoe:
Paxful Peer to Peer. Eat your loss. About 6-8%

Nah, it's about 4%

Donpre:

So just like binance... Nice!

Exactly

Dudeladude:

Thanx alot

You're welcome

Donpre:

Una for dey drop updates like this more often

Problem here is assurance. How does one guarantee the paxful guy no go japa with the funds

Lol...you no ask ma

The guy no fit Japa because paxful dey act as escrow. You won't mark the transaction as complete till you've received your usdt

Dudeladude:
i am talking about having the money in dollar cash

The only way (that I'm aware of) to do that is Payoneer to dom account. You can ask around to know which Nigerian bank still works.

I think you can use wise too. I haven't used it so someone with that knowledge can help out here.

Dudeladude:

So you mean from your upwork to the paxful account

It's p2p. I get an exchanger from paxful, I send d Payoneer funds to his Payoneer account, and the exchanger sends me usdt. I can easily exchange the usdt to naira on paxful. Long process....I know but I'm used to it already 😅
