1. Yes, I registered with my Atm card BUT NO MONEY WAS DEDUCTED. It is for the Plus membership which is around $9 per month but you enjoy one month trial period. In addition, you will be given the about 100 bid credit for a month. If you don't register with your ATM card, you will only get about 10 bid credits for a month if I am correct. After one month, the money will be automatically deducted from your ATM card but you can always discontinue this service if you are not interested.

The benefit of registering with your ATM card is that your rank in bids will increase. Even though you are among many freelancers that have not completed any order, you will rank higher because you have confirmed your payment method with your ATM. I must however say that not all ATM cards are accepted. I tried both my GTB and Skye Bank ATM cards but they both did not work. I reluctantly decided to try my UNION BANK card and it surprisingly worked.

2. NO, I have not written any test. It is not a must you write a test before you begin because the tests cost money to complete. You have to pay around $5 for each test and since I had not made any money when I joined, I decided not to write any test and even though I have made close to $100 in one week of joining, I am yet to write any test (Maybe I am stingy...). When I make enough, I will write some tests but as I said, you can start without the tests even though the tests actually increase your rank in bids and increase you chance of winning bids.

3. I don't know cos I have not taken any as I said.

ambrosini593: . How did you arranged your address with ur area code ? Pls give an example that I can follow. Thank you

carpaints:

Ikeja, lagos.
search for the nearest postal code in your place on google.

Xpressionz: I am gradually making progress. In about a week of starting at freelancer.com, my account stands at around $90 which is not bad for a new freelancer though I am still hoping to get a bank breaking order.

@Ladywriter, I want to ask what the ₹ currency stands for. It is often used by employers at freelancer.com but I browsed and could not find any reference to this currency. Please help me out. Thanks.

ambrosini593: . Thank you. It seems you are a prophet. I live in goodluck jonathan road in yenagoa. Somehow similar to the example you've given. But where do place the postal code in the address?

carpaints:

lol, you will see a box for the postal code.
my card is due to arrive 10-17sept

The only strategy that I have learnt to use so far is to always stay online and be among the first group of people to bid for a job. I write and the few orders I have got has been from writing. Sometimes, employers are in a hurry to get a job done so if you keep refreshing the latest orders and bid early, you may just be the one for the job. I have had this experience a couple of times, though I end up turning down most orders because of the very low pay.

To be sincere, I cannot explain how I got my first order but I may partly attribute it to a well written profile. I did not bid for the job, I just saw a message from an employer asking me if I could write some articles for him. We chatted and agreed and he created the order as a private one. I am presently on my third order for him.


This is an experience of a newbie o...Let the gurus come and share their thoughts too.

ambrosini593: . Have not been able to bid for a project. Anytime I tries they keep referring me to take a test first. Why

samplanner:

I seriously don't know how that happened. When I joined, I was not required to do any test. I just had a very limited number of bids to place which is 10 in a month. The number of bids however increased after I confirmed my payment method with my Atm card. Infact, I just took my first test now based on Ladywriter's advice which is the US English test. So I really dont understand why it is asking you to complete a test before you can bid. However, if it does ask you to take a test, why not just take it. Based on the test I just did, it is so simple I am wondering how I scored as low as 93% cos I was expecting 100%.



Bros. The truth is that I have not tried withdrawing yet. I just dey look my money for face and I wan make e increase well before I comot am. I already have my payoneer card though not from freelancer and I plan withdrawing into it.


My brother. The truth is that you really need a laptop o...working on an android tab is not easy in my opinion but if you can try it sha, no lele. As per, electricity ish, bros na gen o. I dey buy fuel steady. When light no dey, I go on gen and when my laptop full, I go go off am. When ma ba3 don dey off again, I go go on gen again and so the cycle continues.

ladywriter: I have been making money online writing/researching online for the past two years now. I got my first writing job here on Nairaland with a content writing firm in Lagos. I worked for a few month with the company and then moved to www.freelancer.com. Freelancer.com is authentic and most importantly it is free. You can receive your income directly in Nigeria through a master card issued by a company known as payoneer.

Freelancer.com
Freelancer.com is an online marketplace where employers post their jobs and members executes it. There a lot of jobs available on the website - such as writing/data entry/research/ typing/web design/social media marketing/market research/business plan writing etc.

What is required:
1. Open a free account on freelancer.com
2. Search for jobs in the marketplace
3. Place your bids
4. Get picked by the employer
5. Get paid
6. Withdraw your income into payoneer card
7. Withdraw your money from any mastercard ATM in Nigeria.

If you have questions get in touch with me on virtualassistprof@gmail.com

TRADELYN: @ 2sExy1,
Great tips here.

You are a fine writer too (simple and clear).

Until now, I think say naa only romance you sabi

2sExy1: i DON DIE OOOO . yOU DON FINISH ME.

Bro, I have been in this thing for as long as 2008 and
I can tell anyone what works and what doesn't work. The sad thing is that those who have not put in as much effort as I have are the respected ones in Naija IM sphere and making millions from seminars lol.

there are just a few of us who real sweated for it--the doers.

TRADELYN: WoW...just read the interview from the link you shared above
Well, yours would come soon!

ResourceMan: @ All
Do not ever think of usng paypal to collect your funds. When it comes to freelancer.com paypal is completely useless. To make matters worse they still do not accept Nigerians. The scam called paypal only allows Nigerians to make limited payment with their platform.
Freelance recognizes the use of Payoneer master-card. Anyone who wants to make a business out of the internet in Nigeria should Forget Paypal.
