What other skill can one acquire aside from writing.
You can learn to code... start at W3Schools.com. I know how to build sites in wordpress but raw codes is not what I know how to do. so I am learning that now

You can learn HTML in one week if you are serious. it is the easiest to learn. Then go on to CSS, then move further from there

CodeAcademy.com

KahnAcademy.com is another and we have Alison.com and many more...

I was thinking fiverr is better.

All roads leads to upwork now

Joey150, I don't also visit buyers request on fiverr. In fact, with 10 completed orders on fiverr, I can be sure of over $1000. My minimum price is $40. But then, opinions have shown that Upwork is much better than fiverr. I am comfortable on fiverr because I get to reject works. Yesterday alone, I rejected 3 orders and rejected 2 orders today. My gig is on front page of my niche. This implies that the account is doing well anyway.

Now my point is that I need more, I need to diversify and I have heard much about Upwork. Fiverr can do anything any time, so it is bad to completely depend on them.
What kind of gig do you do?

lol

how did he scam u
I could have seen the signs but I was too broke to apply reason ( well,I'm still broke ,if you have any online job or physical one,I'm game). I submitted a proposal and he accepted ,gave me guidelines of what he wanted et all .I was eagerly awaiting to give life to his work and that I expertly did only for him to applad my effort and then ,the systematic sham fell in place . He blocked me on Hangouts after I demanded for the payment and this happened 5 weeks ago . The frustrated Indian refused to pay me the agreed sum and instead balled out

Sounds like upwork is a better option. Especially as people need an e-book to succeed in fiverr. Nobody is willing to teach anyone for free.

Funny how all of them refer people to the same e-book

Please, can you be my mentor on fiverr?? I desperately need one. (WhatsAppno: 07066439016)..
mrphysics:

Wow, this is nice. How flexible can it be when there is restriction on registration and people would have to bid for a job


Brightgem, I sincerely appreciate the fact you have tried fiverr, please don't give up. I currently earn on average $1000 on fiverr using a Nigerian account.

The thing about fiverr is that, they are filled with broke buyers who wants haven for a price of hell. I just need to expand, hence the reason I want to join upwork. There is nothing bad if I start making $3000/month. That's the joy of hustling.

No one has referred you to any eBook. Some of these newbies do not know the standard and level of professionalism and dedication needed to succeed on fiverr. Take for instance, I joined fiverr February 2017, got my first order 3 months later. But from May 2017 till now, I have made $8050 from fiverr.

But I was patient for 3 months, something those going into fiverr now will find very difficult to do. There is a Fiverr thread on business section created by beatzone, read from page 1-10 and you would be well equipped to start. No one will have the time to coach you free of charge. Those coaching you for money does not earn much on fiverr. I can't promise you a personal coaching because I do not have the time.

Hi there, since you're already into writing, have no fear, you can make it.

However, success is not guaranteed. I believe since you're not exposed to the field that you will have a deficiency of knowledge. But not to worry, you can quickly come up to speed.

A good place to start is this thread:

https://www.nairaland.com/1833989/how-make-1000-month-writing

Please, read every single page and take action as you read. You will become more exposed to what the job entails and what you need to do.

Then after that, you need to start working on your grammar. Forget UK English, focus on the American market which is where 90% of the jobs come from.

I recommend three books for you, they are:

1 - The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation by Jane Strauss
2 - The Chicago Manual of Style 16th Edition.
3 - Elements of Style by Strunk and White

You can breeze through the first book in one week. After that, you might start broaching the second book which is more of a reference book but it sure pays to have it by your side. The third book should be your guide into the workings of American English. Read it from time to time.

Now that you're becoming better on the grammar side of things, it is now time to start learning about content writing. As a word of advise, if you serious about playing at world-class level and making cool money, do not neglect the steps I am about to mention.

1 - Learn the mechanics of content creation with Neil Patel - https://www.quicksprout.com/the-advanced-guide-to-content-marketing/
2 - Learn SEO with Yoast - https://yoast.com/beginners-guide-yoast-seo/

This should get you started. Depending on where you are coming from, it might take you between 3 months to 1 year to become a world-class content creator. If, however, you prefer earning peanuts, then don't bother developing yourself.
baba I appreciate this. are these books online or I have to go to an actual bookshop?

Idiot - why did you lose $1580??

Was it because of UK IP or Nigerian IP?

You've lost money running fake IPs before and yet you still advise people to do the same. Aren't you a stupid person or wicked person?

Don't worry, more bans are coming for you.
lol. Boy, I lost 1.5k dollars online and what?
I was enviously reported by your fellow Nigerian who I helped in opening an account..
As you rightly guessed, I wasn't moved by the money coz it means nothing really...
People have lost greater sums.

How do you withdraw your earnings if your profile is from another country?
Doesn't Upwork require you to do verification of your profile (eg with SSN, tax ID and co) before allowing you to withdraw your earnings, especially if you've earned a significant amount?
And how do you verify your account if you are using a foreign IP?
school of thought..
You either use an exchanger on nairaland, open a payoneer account, PayPal account and the rest..
The Internet abounds with many opportunities to make money but my people prefer 9-5 hour jobs everyday. Oh well....
