This thread is gold. |

Integrafamoo: I'm glad the thread helped you. Receiving payment is not a thing to be bothered about. Once the client pays you, you can actually withdraw your money straight to your bank account using direct transfer. You just need to input your account details beforehand so that it can be confirmed before the money is sent. If you did work outside the platform and you want to receive money, then you can use a direct contract.

Johnne32: I really love this sir Keep up the good work Please can I get some of your samples? I want to attach it to my proposal Thanks. |
Re: Finding It Hard To Land Your First Gig On Upwork? Make sure you read this by Johnne32(m): 10:31am On Jun 16, 2021 |
middlemedia: On Upwork, it should be about 388-390.....I think. |
Re: Finding It Hard To Land Your First Gig On Upwork? Make sure you read this by Johnne32(m): 10:34am On Jun 16, 2021 |
kalex0: Glad you enjoyed it. But I can't just give you my "samples" to attach to your portfolio. You have to make yours yourself. Every freelancer has a unique portfolio containing what and what they are experienced in. It's not wise to use someone portfolio as your own because you are not experienced in that field and may just end up "burnt" on your first gig. |

Bro, I want to find out if you need to have a certificate as well as work experience for you to be accepted on upwork. |

Jinoonline:hey bro about that new e-commerce company order are they the one paying for the order or staff |
Re: Finding It Hard To Land Your First Gig On Upwork? Make sure you read this by Johnne32(m): 8:05pm On Jun 16, 2021 |
Brokeboygram: Both are not compulsory but they are quite necessary. It's easier for clients to trust you when they see that you are certified in a particular skill and have good work experience. |

Re: Finding It Hard To Land Your First Gig On Upwork? Make sure you read this by Creamz(m): 8:07pm On Dec 03, 2021 |
Johnne32: I just joined upwork. I haven't gotten any gig. I am guilty of usual copy and pasting the previous proposals I had sent out. I will do better now. Thanks a lot for your insights. One question though. Does coming from Nigeria limit you from getting jobs? Like should I ask someone abroad to open the account for me so I can use his address and all? |
Re: Finding It Hard To Land Your First Gig On Upwork? Make sure you read this by Johnne32(m): 8:10am On Dec 07, 2021 |
Creamz: It'll be foolish to ask someone abroad to help you open an account. You don't need to lie about it, there are Nigerians there on Upwork making six figures, it's not about your location. It's just about "Can you do the work?" |
Re: Finding It Hard To Land Your First Gig On Upwork? Make sure you read this by Johnne32(m): 8:11am On Dec 07, 2021 |
kalex0: I already had articles I wrote just for myself so when I started freelancing, it was not hard to reference these articles to clients. |
Re: Finding It Hard To Land Your First Gig On Upwork? Make sure you read this by Creamz(m): 11:00am On Dec 07, 2021 |
Johnne32: Thanks a lot. The problem is that I am not getting any gig. What can I do to improve? |

Hi thanks for this thread. Heard about Upwork and wants to give it a try.. I'm taking courses on becoming a data analyst.. for now excel, power BI and tableau are the tools I'm mastering.. your page has been helpful regarding tips on how to setup your account. please how can I get a work email.. cos there was an option of using work email or your personal email.. will using my personal email delay verification? |
