Who gets into efights? Have I fought you before? I am into my niche, Sir.



It is the same in many groups, maybe worse. I joined one where all they do is post earnings and badges. I still think Nairaland is the best for FREE information.
You are not new to Upwork that's why you're coping as for me I don't know anyone who is into it, that's why I need an interactive community so bad, because I'm going in blind, I bought a laptop for it and so far I've made no progress and it's very frustrating.

We haven't got into any scuffle but I have seen your Monika on different threads, from Movies to Romance arguing back and forth with people and vice versa.

Anyways, just surprised to see a different side of you.

I joined Upwork in November 2021 after seeing a Nairalander’s post on it. Prior to that, I have never heard of UPWORK. Though I know FREELANCING. I picked up in February and got Top Rated in June I think. I have only one friend that has a general knowledge on it. When my leg come strong small, I started teaching people around me. But there was something I couldn’t teach 99% of them - determination. Majority lost the zeal. As such I stopped guiding because it hurts to invest that much time without results.

It is always very hard at first. Very hard…

I need serious help from any one of you. I had very bad feedback from a terrible client I encountered few weeks back. I used Grammarly and other tools to edit and execute his work but still claimed it was not enough.

Please I beg someone in the writing nich to help me with a job referral, even if it's a $5 contract, I just need a contract or two to push the bad feedback to the bottom and regain my JSS.

Please help me

The negative review will fall out of your JSS calculation window in 6 months.

You should be worried about your dependence on AI writing software; that's why you received negative feedback, after all. It's fine to use AI writing software as spellcheckers and to highlight the occasion punctuation blunder, but you shouldn't be reliant on them.

Grammarly can be outrageously wrong a lot of times. The English language is vast, but Grammarly's rules are limited. It also has a serious problem with context and tenses, as most AI writing software do. [Example: Grammarly suggested I change "Do" at the end of my sentence to "Does".]

You can still get a JSS-tanking review on a $5 contract. Therefore, before looking for referrals, work on improving your grasp of the English language.

N2 has already answered you and I learned from his response to you because I don’t even know how bad reviews work. Yet to have one…

A junior writer around me once had this same issue. I think he said his accuracy was 89% and the client used Grammarly Premium to get 99%. If you desperately need a $5 contract to boost your JSS, you have to get someone in your circle to do that for you.

Pele. You would raise the school fees.

Bottom line- a five dollar review does nothing to boost your JSS.

1. I used my NIN and it was accepted

2. Can't remember what I picked but it should be National ID

P.S: verified almost a year ago so I have no idea if it current still works. Maybe someone who verified more recently would be in a better position to answer this


i was verified two months ago and it works for me too.

Humorme2:


When I was making some research about Upwork, I came across a post where a moderator said identity cannot be verified until a freelancer starts earning.
I think that means until a freelancer lands his/her first job, they won't ask for ID verification.
I can't be sure about this though.
Probably ask someone more experienced with the platform.

that's is not true.
upwork ask me to verify my identity and i haven't started earning yet.

Sometimes you won’t be able to click on “submit proposal”. Though you can change browsers to be sure. There is also an Upwork status page. It tells you what is operational and what is down…

Depends on your skill set.

I was given one as a Mobile developer. Failed it though

In my case, the first round was a technical test(with one test platform). A leetcode easy and one medium(maybe hard)

The second round should be an oral technical interview with a senior developer but I didn't get to that stage
