There's one thing I've learnt about freelancing, and from top freelancers like Stagger. They will come for you whether you are from Nigeria or from Kuvukiland as long as you know your stuff really well. So using the US as your nationality merely gives you transient advantages.

Between September 25th and October 10th, I received 26 invitations to job of which I rejected about a dozen which I was either not interested in or didn't match my skills. Western clients will always come for you when you have a lot of 5 star reviews, 100% Job Success Score and rapid response rate. And yes, they even give bonuses too.

So keep a really appealing profile, do aneat job, and watch them come for you. Be successful!!!

Truly!

Victor 101, I'd like to thank you for opening this thread. You made us know about Upwork. GOD BLESS YOU!. You have contributed in curbing unemployment in Nigeria through your selfless attitude. I know there are some people in this thread who have stock up a lot of info that would have been a blessing to all, but they will want to kip it to themselves. But you were not like that. You introduce a platform that has changed so many lives. I'm a serving corper: I know what I'm saying. I'd have been among the wagon that'd have been waiting for white colar jobs, but that ain't happening. So, Victor, and Venzal keep up the good work!

Not at all. Except for an email he sent a couple of months ago, saying he' ll send some laptops for people to pick from Jimmy as compensation.

I ignored the message cause I know it was a false hope as usual. Since then there has been no news.

Yeah but how do you even prove the quality of work you're capable of doing if no one has given you a chance. I've been on Upwork since July and I haven't even got one job yet. Although I've received 2 invitations but I had to decline cos they were not my skill set. While I started getting jobs on truelancer almost immediately after I registered. I wish I know what I'm doing wrong on Upwork.

Please note, be it a consolation or something, that even the most successful of freelancers can at times be without jobs for one reason or another. This is most common when they niche down really well. In comparing Upwork to Truelancer, you need to understand that the latter has mostly Indian freelancers who are on par with Nigerians especially in written English. However, Upwork is poised to be a more "professional" platform. That's why things are tougher there.

I suggest you hunt for very little jobs, even if the pay is ridiculously low. For instance, had you done one or two $2 jobs since July, by now you should have a Job Success Score and some positive reviews which are common with small paying jobs. Use the search function to filter these peanut jobs. I'm hopeful you will find some stingy Indians who would want to take advantage of you.

I stumbled on this group yesterday and it re kindled my hope because I applied for 2 jobs so far and did not get called.
I just resolved to keep faith and not give up and today I got a message asking if I was still interested. So we exchanged messages and glad to say I got the job. All things been equal, I will make a tidy sum at the end of the project. At least for a starter.

Thanks to all the guidance I got from here.

Is about time we start collecting tithes/donations/or remittances on this thread, I'm of the thought we could donate this funds to any orphanage home. Who's with me on this? We should give to the less privilege. So we can have a committee, who will oversee the process. I don't need to be part of the committee. We just need sincere and like-minds. I'll be glad to hear all your thoughts..

Shalom!

I think this a great idea... we hardly pay Tax on money earned online.

It will serve as a means of giving back to the community.

I'm feeling this. But not necessarily or only orphanages. Giving back to our world can be done in several ways. I believe investment in youths will prove even more meaningful. As a university student myself, I know what it will mean to coach new student freelancers. That's more than giving them money.
