Good morning all
For someone in sales who is new in Upwork, what advice can you give me?

Which niche do you think is not saturated and can bring good client?

This your question no clear.

What do you mean, "in sales"?

Sales is a very, very wide industry with many sub-niches.

Besides, there's no niche that's saturated. You just have to be good enough and clients would be rushing you for niches people claim to be "saturated".

If you're going into Upwork, you want to be given a chance to prove that you're worth it.

And to do that, you need a good profile and good proposal writing skills.

And a convincing portfolio, of course.

Hi guys, please I'm having concerns withdrawing my fund from payoneer to my GTB dorm account. I got $10 deducted of every fund I received from payoneer to Gtb dorm. Who is taking my $10 dollars is it Gtb or who? This is outside the the normal payoneer service charge. Who has had such experience?

Are you using the dollar card? I think it's probably the $10 service charge for dollar card....

It's a game of proposals, daddy mi. I just landed my second client yesterday after 15 proposals sent in the last 7 days and its coz my first client is starting to give me loads of work to do, and my goal is to get more clients coz I heard dealing with one long-term client can be pretty not good later on after you're done with the contact it will be hard getting more clients from scratch. I'm not sure how true is that, but that's what they're saying on Reddit. I'm pretty much as new as you, boss. Just keep your proposals short and catchy.
Just wanna be sure you re not getting ripped. What do you mean by your first client is giving you more work to do? Is this appart from the initial contract?

This upwork nowadays is really really saturated often web development. how comes if you seen a job with less than 5 proposals before you even write a cover letter the job will probably have 20 to 50 proposals. some times I even say some freelancers are not human beings but robots. the possibility of winning a job as a new freelancer is very low.

Bots I've still gotten a gig from a 50 proposal, but you have to be sure of what you type and sound convincing. Apply in the evening time that is when US is active.

The current withdrawal rate to banks directly is really low.

Payoneer should be your best option for now.

Lol. You need to change your mindset otherwise you may find it difficult to get jobs.

You wanna get better jobs on Upwork? Then here's what to do:

>> Get better at your skill. It's the easy jobs everyone rushes for. The ones that are advanced, you'll see everyone avoiding it.

>> Master your proposal writing. If you're sure you know how to write really convincing proposals, the next thing to do is to know how to write them fast. Practice your speed before you use your connects.

Since I started Upwork, I've sent more than 350 proposals and landed 10 clients with about 25 interviews if I'm not mistaken.

Eventually, it becomes easier.

please Transferring USD from Payoneer to local bank is what exchange rate?

Is it preferable to setup a dorm account and withdraw instead.
What are the withdrawal fees too abeg?

Exchange rate for direct transfers to local bank account is around #407 / $

Dom is better. Fees depend on bank.

Any chance of Payoneer holding my funds?

If your account is verified, you should be fine.

Okay. Can I also send to another Payoneer account since the account is just new?

Nah. You cannot send to another Payoneer account until you have received up to $1,000 on your Payoneer account

If you submitted NIN during registration, you should be fine.
They rarely review funds sent from reputable companies/platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, etc.
If possible, you could also try connecting the USD account from geegpay directly to Upwork if you're using your real details, it should work(don't know much about Upwork, I use Fiverr).

I can attest to this. Withdrawal from Upwork to Geegpay works and the funds took about ~2 days to arrive.
