They come in with below basic skills and want to earn dollar/pounds. A friend kept telling me she can do what I do. Is it not Excel, is not business analysis. A partner had a vacancy and I sent it to her. She read the requirements and developed headache. I tried hard to ginger her to apply, she didn't. She done see Excel run.

MissOpe:
Be thankful that you're a skilled writer...
Some want to write but have no skills, some have writing skills but they don't even know how to earn from it...

That said, is writing a skill someone can develop or it's a natural gift to those who have it?

Your moniker reminds me of the f.uckery one gets to deal with as a regular visitor of Nairaland.

I will keep this short and no one should send me any message.

So last year I decided to revisit freelancing because I am a gifted writer and been writing for many years so why not use it to make money?

So I registered on a freelancing site and the journey began.

Making money is never the problem if you are a freelancer, the problem is how much time can you give to the job.
The job was just too much that i had to employ many nairalanders to work for me.
At a point I was earning $900 per week (i could earn much more than this but where is the time to do more work?) but the work was just too much. So much that i moved to an hotel for several months just so that i can focus and have the hotel staff attend to all my needs so I dont have to do any work except my writing job.

This is a job that would make you want to go mad. You will work mornimg and night as if you have no life. Forget social life, all you will be after is to meet deadlines.

People will think you are a yahoo boy because you dont go to an office and you are always on your laptop. They also see that you dont have problem with money. To make it worse you are always going to bank to collect dollars and take to aboki.

I shake my head when i see nigerians complaining that there is no work. There is work but most people cannot work. That is just the truth.

If you know you can make these sacrifices then you should consider freelancing so far you have the skills for the jobs you want to apply for.

Forget about freelance writing, the job has casted now. Look for another freelance job and check if it will be affected by the current AI programs that makes jobs easy now.
Better look for your own job and take the advantage of AI to create your own job or niche, the era of freelance is coming to and end and only few might remain.

So, what value does your writeup provide order than your hope that it would be read by people who have the potential to ask you stupid questions? And that hope is clearly written in uppercase to show its the most important part of the text.

If you are an aspiring Freelancer, don't even bother because the space got supersaturated after COVID happened

qtguru:


I build Chrome extension and write code for clients

gabrieltemmy:
Somethings are not adding up.

I think this is the opposite of the actual problem, Because I know so many freelancers who are hungry for clients yet they are good at what they do. Especially in tech and writing

So the glitch is I I am nurturing the mind to jakpa and practice my newly learned field over there. But what u just wrote up there put a cold water on that ambition and make everything looks stupid to me. Imagine you saying the freelancing world is saturated, who knows what it is in the actual office environment??
