Can you put me through?
I’ll pay for a connect I swear
I can write in all niches including poetry and I can’t find a job.
I can pay a fee if you want.
Let’s discuss on WhatsApp please can I drop my number?
And you fall into this cheap bait?

The OP just wrote that trash to see more clients (customer) that will buy his wack course.

I've outgrown such shit though.

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.


Show us the sites you use and proves that this really works, if you can’t, kindly shut TF up. You are just a blatant and chronic liar.

Hello...
I want to request you review your topic. If you'll consider my suggestion "The Pleasurable Life Of A Freelancer!"

Probably, your experience is a result of your relationship with others.

I am a freelance writer, installations service provider, engaged with other businesses without saying "yes sir" to anyone.

I'm enjoying my job. And i derive pleasure helping others toll the path of freelancing, and working towards becoming employers, entrepreneurs and investors.

If you have interest in this ideology, enroll for the free course 'The Elemental You' advertised on this platform.

Indians are scum and terrible. They pay you peanuts. They entered the freelance world and they know all the ways to cut into your hard-earned money. Since they came in, they negotiate unnecessarily. Sometimes they beg you to do jobs for free that Americans and Europeans pay you well to do.. Asking favours that they don't return.
please I'd appreciate if you do well to provide such freelancing sites that I can get gigs from Indians despite the peanut they pay

I don't do copywriting. Sometimes cultural adaptation.

Google for the sites that are okay for copywriters.

It will take time for your hustle to pay but make sure you give your best at a competitive rate. After sometime,, you will be hiring people to work for you or you will be rejecting jobs.

Wishing you all the best
