Upwork Huddle is a gathering of Upwork Freelancers in Nigeria. Guess what? I was lucky to organise it.
I am a top rated freelancer in Nigeria, I currently have 97% ratings on upwork. I have been on Upwork for over 7 years since the days of Odesk and Elance.
I have the opportunity to mentor and train hundreds of people on how to effectively use Upwork and looking back I thank God I already have students that have made over $20,000 $5,000, $1,000 and below from Upwork. This is one of my greatest testimonies. Some of my mentees have quitted their full-time jobs to face freelancing.
However, I was contacted by Upwork to host a Upwork huddle in Nigeria and it was a nice time meeting with other fellow Upwork freelancers in Nigeria. We had the time to discuss how to take Upwork freelancing to the next level in Nigeria and One of the take-home points was collaboration and joint wealth creation.
we had over 20 people in attendance and It was a lovely experience

Nice move

Pictures??

Did anyone from Upwork company attend? If not, then too bad.

Upwork makes a lot of money from freelancers. In the 10 years I have been on that platform, I cannot count how much they have made from me, starting from the 8.75% fee up to now that they charge 20%. But yet, they still treat Nigerians like second class freelancers. Why is it that Nigerians are not allowed to register freely on their platforms? Are freelancers from Eastern Europe and Asia better than us? I think not.

It would have been good to ask them some salient questions, but that is if anyone from the company attended.

You are not serious. You need him to teach you something and you are asking him to contact you. You must be a joker.

@OP, if you cannot upload pictures, then kindly delete this thread.

Upwork charges up to 20% of my hard-earned money...useless, discriminatory people.

It's funny how they always ban freelancers when they cannot land a job.

I think Fiverr is much better than Upwork

fiverr doesn't even come close to upwork

one thing I have learnt over the years is never to bite the hand that fed me, You said Upwork has made a lot of money from you, forgetting that they actually provide you an avenue to make more money that you could never have made in Nigeria. Yes I know its harder to get in the platform these days, some Nigerians have spoilt the platform for us, This same issue is been experienced by other users all over th world. Plus trust me its in your interest that they dont let every one register. Imagine 2000 people bidding for one job?
I quite agreee that the charges is high at 20% but trust me in some months I earn more than some bank managers after deducting their charges.

Nice! I have declined twice the bid to hold thus huddle cos I have so much on me. From work to attending to kids, so if I have my saturdays free, I had better sleep or prepare clients reports.

Oya, post pictures.

Even in the mail upwork said it is not an upwork official meeting, so they don't need to send their representative. It's okay if they create such meetings for upwork freelancers to meet. It is not held in Nigeria one, freelancers meet in their countries/States all over the world and send upwork pictures/report.

Why do you think they treat Nigerians like second class citizons? I don't believe this, even guys from these countries you mentioned have their own issues with upwork, even on getting their profile approved.

I have no issues with their 20% service fees, even after the deductions I still earn more than times 3 of what I used to earn while in a telecom company.

They have their bills to pay too, so charging for connects is no big deal, if i spend $10 on connects monthly and I get even if it's one contract, it is better than traveling from East to Lagos for interview without winning the job.

I share one of my jobs with my sister earning 30k a month, she is getting almost ×2 of the 30k from me monthly. Her joy when I asked her to join me eeeeh, or whenever she receives alert, the prayer she will start praying eeeeh, hmmmm. I can't speak bad of upwork, never. I registered her but she isn't getting any offer, I get offers easiy and have all it takes by God's grace, so I just decided to assist her by training her to do a little of what I do.

There is no very good system on earth.

please tell us how to send an enticing upwork proposal... meanwhile I am selling my approved Canada upwork acct just 3k

I think one thing everyone should learn is the act of gratitude. One of my student that was earning 60,000 per month, until I introduced her to upwork now earns a minimum of $1200 per month sometimes she earns $1500 per month, she had to tell her sister to quit her job of 40,000 to work for her on a salary of 80,000 .
I understand it's easy to feel used but the one thing I usually tell people is nobody will use you until you give them the permission.

One thing I have learnt over the years, you don't just post people's pictures online without their permission. Plus there are better ways to ask for that,
