Like how much is a review on Upwork

don't buy review instead work hard to get reviews upwork willl permanently ban your account if they discovered that you are using fake reviews.

This is an ideology of black African because people in my area deos not even believe in online business if they see me doing web development they will start mocking me "Yahoo boy " it really pains me.
this country is full of bastert. Nigeria will never grow in technology till 2099

Please did upwork accept NIN paper slip for identity verification? I had submitted my own for over 1day but it's still under review. what will happen my account if my ID was rejected? and lastly did they accept permanent voters card?

stupid man with his idiot wife

WFMarket:


Its an ad classified site. He used elementor for it.

I can't modify the site at all.

just like subscriber there

so bad.

WFMarket:
This Solutech guy known as Enoch Ikechukwu, whose phone number is : +234 812 509 6250, is a terrible individual.

I paid him 40K to design me a website. Could you believe that instead of giving me admin hosting details, he gave me an author/subscriber detail.

I can't do anything as admin to the site.

I have messaged him since the past one month, no replies. He doesn't pick call.

So clearly that he feels he has scammed.

Even as we speak, he's still with the login details.


No calls picked, no SMS or WhatsApp answered etc


I just paid him 40K.

what type of website did you want him to build for you. and secondly how many pages.
next time be careful of trusting some devs directly here on nairaland.
Sign up in a platform like upwork or fiver there are tons of developers out there. I am telling you this as a freelance web developer.

N2B2:


Don't do it.

If Upwork finds out you falsified personal information, even if it's your address, they'll perma-ban you, instantly.

thank you for your positive advice

Top rated freelancers take a look at my profile what's wrong please ?

[quote author=ambs50 post=112476459]Solutech(Emmanuel Ikechukwu) is a scammer...

Earlier in Jan 2022, I contacted SOLUTECH to develop a website for us. I paid him half of the bargained fee upfront before he started.

After he claimed he had finished the website,I paid him his balance and he now sent me the website backend access and other things.
Now, as I began to explore the site, it was clear he did a very terrible job. He cloned another website such that if I click on some areas on my site, it takes me to this website he cloned for me. Since then,he doesn't pick my calls and acts arrogantly. I have told him to correct the mistakes on the site but he has refused. I have paid him in full and he has only shown himself to be a scammer.
Please beware of Solutech. He is a scammer. His number is 08125096250. Let him come and clear his name or deny we never transacted business...

Again, do not patronise him.


next time beware of hiring newbie programmers. at leas you have to see his portfolio for project he has build. getting the right -developer here in nairaland is not something easy.
my advice to you is. next time if you want a right candidate please use platform like upwork to hire developers for your project.
even if he fails you can give them a bad review which will really affect them.
I'm telling you this as a freelance web developer thank you!

dear freelancers!!! is job with 20 to 50 proposals still good to apply?

aronski:
Hello everyone, am a web developer. I have been learning web development since 2016 and I have been good in what I have been learning since then.
Am able to code with HTML 5, CSS 3, Bootstrap 3 & 4, JavaScript, Jquery, PHP & MySQL.
This year, after the strike which brought most of us students back home I decided to go into freelancing and I choose Upwork.
I created a profile and got my account approved and verified, this was after paying for a course and undergo training (online) about freelancing.
But I don't really know whats wrong, I have write proposals to different clients and they never got accepted, am even out of connects and the fact things are happening like this am even doubting the fact that am a good web developer or thinking is because my location shows am Nigeria (who knows).

I will like to know if anyone has an advice that will help me on my freelancing journey or should I just forget about it and learn Python before school resumes (because freelancing ain't really working as planned for me).

just like me I got approved even though I didn't send any proposal still learning how the platform works.
the way I see too much freelancers bidding for a simple job really scares me.
I'm event thinking of web development is really saturated

I'm new to upwork.
I was unable to complete my profile because I'm busy now adays working for local client.
i have 3 question.
1. will my absence for long time lead to account suspension.
2. can upwork profile be 100% completed without a profile video
3. it's possible to land a gigs with less 90% profile completion

linusmels:


I don't have a profile video and I have been landing gigs without it. Like he said, a good portfolio, good ratings from past client, and most importantly, well crafted proposal

please what services are offering in upwork?
thanks.

DrLevi:

I don't have one.

A nice portfolio and reviews of past works in my opinion would be what a client would be looking at

but did you land a gigs even though that you don't have a profile video.
just curious to know becouse i just joined upwork today.

is it necessary to have upwork profile video before you land a gigs ?

learn flex-box or grid because they are the modern way of aligning boxes

LikeAking:
Cloned or built?

100% build from ground to up without watching any tutorials

Stephen0mozzy:


First of all; if it means typing out this CV in Microsoft before exporting it to pdf or other formats, please do; that footer "Create PDF in your applications with the PdfCrowd" should not be in the copy of your CV you're putting out there.

1. Watch out for spellings and punctuations o....remember, some people can be turned off by simple mistakes on a professional document - especially in an IT field, it shows you're not attentive to details. example:

UNDER THE PROFILE
a. The space between innovative and the comma, remove it (i.e Innovative , task) instead of Innovative, task.
b. There should be a - between task and driven (i.e Task-driven); but I will prefer you use terms like self-motivated/self-driven/purpose-driven, goal-oriented.
c. "Web design and development" - either use all small letters i.e. web design and development or use Web Design and Development (like a Field).
d. There's to much "and" in your closing paragraph. Verbosity does not always impress as much as we think. Be brief and straight to the point.

UNDER THE CAREER OBJECTIVE
e. "To be able to" is too wordy; rather use "To Work for an......"
f. It is not assists (remove the 's' at the end).
g. Remove the space between developing and comma
h. I think you should rewrite your Career Objective sha....

EDUCATION
i. Why are the texts in blue fonts smaller than their accompanying black texts?
ii. Don't write your degree class in all lowercase: It should be Second Class [Upper Division]

WORK EXPERIENCE
i. I think you should add a general location of the work experience, i.e. Sky InfoTech, Lagos Nigeria
ii. Don't start a sentence with small letters
iii. It is not "hight" quality.....it is high quality
iv. remove the space between website and comma.
v. Don't capitalize a verb in mid sentence (remove the capital letter D in Diagnosed)
vi. Also it is not Diagonised and troubleshoot, it is diagnose and troubleshoot.......

COURSES AND TRAININGS
1. Don't write the school in small letters na - It is Yobe State University, Nigeria (CSC3301)
2. Why not look for free courses on linkedin/udemy/coursera and do so that you can add it here. For someone claiming Senior Developer, you norva get many free or accredited certifications o (just kidding sha...I know you have changed it)


Gender: It's Male - not male
Relationship: Is this one necessary? It should be "Single" not "single"

LANGUAGES:
Since the heading is already Languages, shey any need dey to put Language under the lists?


Note: This is not a developer's review o. It's just a developer-wish-to-be giving a "layman proofreading"

thank you positive review bro.
I will put your points in to consideration

awesome!

. that's why it's recommended to use MySQL prepared statement when dealing with sensitive data in a database. hope my account is safe

stanliwise:
Meanwhile how are you a senior web developer?

I changed it to just web developer in short

stanliwise:

If the project has live links. Put it in such a way that the employer can click to it

yes I did it. I also added a link to the github repo

stanliwise:

Well anything that helps the HR or anyone employing you see a proof of skill is what matters

thank you very much.
I will edit it today
