I have read this thread from beginning to end and I now see why clients avoid Nigerian freelancers like the bubonic plague: there are a lot of unserious people posturing as freelancers.

No one said it will be easy, no one said it's a walk in the park. Only those who are willing to commit sweat equity and toil to achieve mastery of a given field within this game can really smile.

I initially started out as a writer but I had to leave writing when I discovered that it would take me at least one more year of intense practise and study to up my skills to native speaker level.

I made a switch -- I moved into ecommerce. I watched videos, bought courses, made Shopify websites, learnt Ebay listing and management, made fun Woocommerce shops, studied Magento, payment systems, Customer service, ecommerce book keeping all within a period of six months. Six months of working 7x16 hours daily.

Today, I can beat my chest with confidence and say bring it on. Bring on any aspect of ecommerce and I will handle it.

I work 60 hours per week for two clients and earn $7 and $5 per hour respectively. The two gigs that I work are both long-term gigs that could end up lasting for years as the clients are reputable US ecommerce/finance startups.

Why are my sharing this here? Because I am appalled by the low mentality of my people. My people know that they have no skills and yet want to take jobs because of the money. My people are males yet use female profiles. My people are content with earning sporadically. Whether it is peanuts or substantial matters very little and that breaks my heart.

Anyone reading this: if you can, devote the next 18 months into building your craft. First try to secure a gig that would take care of your necessities before you take the plunge. When you find a gig that you are sure can feed you, clothe you, pay for your utilities and leave a little cash in your pocket, dive in. Then while working this gig, you can continue your learning on the side.

If you do this and make yourself worldclass, forget $100 gigs or whatnot, your skills will catch the attention of the major employers who will reward you beyond your wildest dreams. A Nigerian freelancer that I know is a customer support agent at Levis.com and Aircall.com -- she regularly makes over $40K per year working 50 hours per week.

How did she do it? She spent one year studying English and how to write and speak like a native speaker. This was back in 2015. Today, she is being rewarded handsomely for her efforts.

Be wise brethren and think big.

Freelancing contributed $235B to UK economy in 2016, $450Billion to Indian economy and close to $1Trillion to US economy also in 2016. We can all join hands to make freelancing bring $50Billion to Nigeria by 2025 at least.

Think big.

Of course you will have to do your own back up investigations even though that would have been done by my team already. I am however open to a ppreciation at the tail end of the transaction.

Do the math 16350 multiply by 4, then divide by 500k

Happy birthday to me. Long life, prosperity and a many great things I pray.

Toks2008:


I'm quite happy for you but one worrisome thing I have realized is the way our youths celebrate when the secure a job.

People no longer celebrate a budding enterprenure who could become an employer tomorrow but would gladly celebrate a youth that gets a $200 or $300 monthly salary job.

Don't get it twisted dude..I'm happy for you and I pray you get to your desired level in life but it's time we started celebrating those hustlers out there who are the potential Dangotes tomorrow.

PastorOsas:


I was on! I only saw Francis!

Hello to my bosses, I hope we are getting set... please indicate. I am on standby already.

Very mature response thus he need for me to revert. True, indeed very true that the title of the thread is actually 'Whats your pain'.

Judging from the quality of your response I can safely assume that you understand the value of perception in our society. The underlying reason for the wanton failure in our society especially as it regards the unemployment saga of the last two decades is primarily due to the archaic educational system inherited hook line and sinker from our colonialists which in turn has eroded the self confidence of many graduates. You cannot put people in school for 20 years and all you do is prepare them for 'employment' and then fail to provide opportunities. Our education does not provide for self reliance in any form.

Some fundamental re-positioning that is clinically precise must be effected.I would however add that despite this wobbly educational structure you still find a few people who have self developed beyond what the school system offers. It is this lot that luck is likely to smile on. And by the way, I draw from a well of personal experience in recruiting both entry level and middle level manpower for the private sector. An experience that spans 15 years.

We need to get our graduates to understand that they are as god as the knowledge they have which they can transform and not the grade registered on the piece of paper called a certificate.
And yes Sir, I have reached out to her.

I just received payment from Jude Ejike

2sexynet:
Boss, I have sent the payment details. ajsans, please check your mail. I sent payment details to you. PastorOsas, I need to see your email. Sunglow, I know you wanted us to start yesterday but I am trying to get others on board because I am likely not going to do another one in the long run. That is why I am trying to get a few more persons on board so they do not say I didn't inform them.


Please, indicate you are interested, request for payment details and state here when you will like us to start. I think the evening of any should be okay.

I will kick off once I can get PastorOsas, Sunglow and ajsans onboard. So please let's co-operate.

Someone requested for video recording since he might not be available at the time of the live video interaction. I am looking into that already.

2sexynet:
Everything has to be done on PC. It makes it easier that way. I would prefer Google hangout please for easy communication.

Sunglow:
Next week then. @ 2sexy let's know the details

PastorOsas:


I am interested too please.

Sunglow:
when do you wish to start?

If you have a dorm account, this is usually the best option. But be aware that either the intermediary bank or your bank will deduct between 20 and 25 USD so make an allowance for 25 USD. Plus the initial 25 USD which gives a total of 30 USD.

The catch is that if you earn very high on upwork you can consolidate your funds and withdraw just once. Once you have the money in your dorm account you can withdraw in cash or sell at the prevalent black market rate which is better than these exchangers on Nairaland.com

If you don't have a dorm account Skrill may charge you some additional fees for currency conversion and use the official cbn exchange rates for you.

Do your maths and know which one is better. When I want to withdraw small change I use exchangers, otherwise I send the money to my Dorm account. I use GTB by the way and the charges per inflow is 20 USD fixed irrespective of the amount being received into the account.

2sexycom:
Okay bro. Will leave it at that.

2sexynet:
Please if anyone wants my time for domaining, kindly note I can't give my time for Free.

Here is a snapshot from one of my freelance accounts. Show us one of your earnings snapshots, and let us all see who is the poor person struggling to make ends meet.

Boy curator, we are not in the same class.

2sexynet:
Just had an offer on one of my domain names a while back. Funny thing is that buyer saw the buy now price but chose to send an offer lower than that.

This will make it 5th likely sale so far. Though 2 out of these may not materialize because buyers have not responded to emails for reasons I do not understand. Maybe they are busy with something else. I have no idea.


Anyway, I will keep you posted. All negotiations is ongoing

You need skills that are in demand in a niche with less competition to earn huge cash online. I cannot recommend any skill for you since you are not computer savvy but if you are interested in earning with simple methods that require little to know skills I will recommend earning with Cpa by spamming OGad offers with massplanner bot on istagram with atleast 7 istagram accounts assigned to dedicated proxies. On average you will earning between 15 to 25 bucks per day with 7 accounts and more if more accounts are added.
