Yeah, that's why many top freelancers won't recommend Upwork for us, the beginners.

Even their service charge 20% is on the high side. The only good thing about them is that you'll see enough jobs to apply to.

Hopefully, you'll get a job before you exhaust your free connects.

I pray so, I am left with 11. I wont send any proposal until I learn how to send and win a job

TopeQs:


driver's license, national ID card or voter's card, international passport.
these are the ones you need, if you run a Nigerian account. just have one of these and you're good to go, also, you will go through a video call verification but that one no hard.
I don't know about foreign account.

Valwezzy:


For heads up, any Nigerian Valid ID can be used. I used my permanent voters card to verify mine though.

PS - make sure you don't tamper with your name or try to maneuver your way around it. Also, make sure your profile picture resembles the pics on your ID...else, they'll suspend your account.

I want to add graphics design to my profile on Upwork as well, Can I be able to use the same account to do that? since I choose an email copywriting niche that is not related to graphics.

Hope Venzal is okay? Haven't seen him online today.

Hi Cutetz,

Thanks for sharing experience with us. If there is anything to take from it, it's the fact that persistence, determination, and hard work pays.

I have some questions though...

Did you use a Nigerian account, from scratch and till date? This will be a motivation for many of us here.

What is interview? How is it done?

How come you still get enough jobs even without submitting proposals?

Your past clients recommend you to others, who eventually contact you on whatsapp. Do you guys transact outside of Upwork?

Is Upwork cool with freelancers taking clients out of Whatsapp, considering the fact that they won't be getting their 20% commission on future jobs?

During your early days when you were spending money on connects, did you for once think things may eventually not work out?

Do you have a side income outside of Upwork then too?

Thanks.

Valwezzy:


If there's anything I know, it's never to be M-KITA(Mr know-it-all).

Do you think clients would take you seriously?
The goal is to incorporate skills related to your area of expertise, and for all I know, writing and graphic designing ain't even close.

It would be better if you go for Article writing/content creator for blogs.

PS - my one cent.

This question is much bro..make we calm down he go become easier
