God bless you real good @ Victor101 for opening this thread. @G12 and fxbot, u guys have been helping so much. I was among the first set of people trained by ladywriter here on nl. She practically took us by the hand and trained us, most of us took it up and made huge money, and still trying sha. She made me know that good people still exists. I had to start from the beginning of this thread cos I wanted to shift from freelancer.com to upwork.com. these Indians are destroying that place for themselves. Been into graphics design and website development. Been able to build a portfolio sha, but I guess I will have to do that now on up work. That place seems more promising. One thing I will like to drop is this - peeps should learn how to acquire skills, especially in areas they love. Package this skill and sale it. There are many people out there waiting for you. Be smart, be wise, research, learn, work hard, and smile. Its not like I have made millions from freelancing but at least am on my way, even though I paused a while. @victor I'll send u a mail soon. Let's talk... Grace! 1 Like |

megamindmaster:I dropped a link to various freelancing sites. How do you do your web development? I only know how to use wordpress. Can I make money with just wordpress? Do you know all the HTML code or you google to get codes which you use for webdevelopment. Please explain. 1 Like |

fxbot: I am not a core programmer though but I learnt HTML and CSS a long time ago, though I am not sobup to date with HTML 5 and CSS 3 strings now(nothing much though), that was the interval I started using CMSs. Very good with joomla, WordPress and a few other CMSs and server side SQL. You can make money with wordpress, but WordPress is not enough. You need to understand where WordPress is standing on. There are clients u meet and your "learnedness" and wealth of knowledge is what will keep them. I was able to handle most likely of them cos I started with simple coding, so when I want to use CMSs, I don't use it like I just picked it anywhere, there is a difference. There are many sides to this thing. What you will need to identify is what u love doing in these things. Programming? Designing? When u get the answer, identify the next area of programming u want. Web programming - there are many languages and of course opportunities. Mobile/app. programming - there are also many apps and huge opportunities too. Design? What type of design, web? Prints? Etc. Look for what you love and major on it. U can know a little bit of this and that, but u need to major on 2 areas "at most".... Hope I answered well Grace! 3 Likes 1 Share |

pocoapoco88: I do all my writings manually and use a program for final proofreading. Better you start with a service or learn a skill you have a passion for and can monetize. You have to be good at what you do also and give your clients satisfaction. |

megamindmaster: you tried. So in order to go deeper into wordpress, such that I will be able to customize the themes to suit client's needs, what should I learn? I also like graphics and animations. Do you know any point and click software that can help with graphics? I mean one whereby I can get icons and just edite and include text to make them? 1 Like |
Re: Elance.com, Upwork.com And Other Freelancing Site: How To Succeed Guide. by Nobody: 9:00pm On Sep 17, 2015 |
fxbot:For the Themes and Templates you need HTML and CSS. It is mainly CSS (Cascading Style Sheet). I will advise you create a free webhost at 000webhost[dot]com. Then install WordPress, after that edit and install different themes to get hands on experience. Furthermore, for the animation and video tutorial you need VideoFxMaker and VideoScribe (white board animation) Applications. Then for Graphics Designing, use Photoshop or Corel Draw. - To our success! 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Datazone: U got it all right bro. But I sincerely hope fxbot is not looking for a do-it-fast-and-go method. I understand that "guys are not smiling", been there before. Cook yourself in these things, in fact bake yourself Well, you can start here, but never stop improving cos thats what will increase ur worth. Still working on myself too. Grace! |

pocoapoco88: OK, it's good you have a niche in mind before you start, don't be a jack of all trade. One thing to have in mind is that people are willing to pay for any service you can offer as far as they have a need for it. The issue is what are you good at, what is your passion? Writers are making money, graphic artists are making money, Web developers are making money, the list is endless. What is your passion and do you have the necessary skill? If no, quit NL for a week and learn it, and then come back here and ask how to start making money with your new skill. Focus is important in order to achieve result. 5 Likes |
