HannahSuccess:
Hello!

We are currently and urgently in need of an erotic story writer

w h a t s a p p + 2 3 4 7 0 6 2 6 2 1 8 9 2

Urgently plssss

why would you even agree to write a book for such a low price??

I have said it before, most of these guyss looking for writers are sc@mmms

Blueace247:
Pls be wary of this person with the above number...he is a scammer..he contracted me to write a book for him. I wrote the book and submitted, he told me his client accepted the book and that I should include table of contents and all that..I did, he said he was going to pay me half. I had to contact him after 24 hours telling him to pay like he promised...he paid me 10,000 naira..since on Wednesday, he has not been picking up my call and replying my messages. If I use another number to call, he will pick and be mute to know who's calling him..he finally blocked me this morning without giving me my balance of 14,000 naira..

You even have the time to give them long replies. People who are looking for people to ripppp off and steal their ideas.

They pay hungry guys these ridiculous amount after making the person go through hell, then resell at good prices.

You want to pay 2000 naira for 2000 words and you are still this rude. Money that wouldnt even afford the writers weekly data bundle.

Kul3ger:
Thank you sir. I tried to ignore, but I couldn’t. And today, I de very less busy. Yes, boss. I know nothing. Lol



Who did you offer?




That’s still your fault. Bad inexperienced writers do not automatically become good because you tripled the rates.




Better. But your ads should not be targeted at ‘experienced’ ‘seasoned,’ ‘with Bleep years experience’ and all the high bars you guys set, only to end the ads with a N2/word tag.




I think here is the genesis of the problem.. You go on a dollar-based platform like Upwork scouting for N10/word gigs.

My friend, that’s $6 for 1000 words. Sh*t

That’s not even the problem if you jejely do it on your own and earn the whole. No, You take up the tasks then come on Nairaland finding “experienced slaves writers” among your countrymen to handle the tasks. After all, hungry jobless people full your country.

It becomes unprofitable to outsource same jobs at a decent rate, yet you de find Agba writer with Bleep years training and certifications to deliver flawless ready-to-deliver gigs.




So, oga, you expect someone that has ‘gotten good’ like their international counterpart to do a N3 per word gig?

You keep contradicting yourself. I repeat, Do not expect industry-grade quality from people competing for low pay jobs ( wether here or abroad) and don’t make it a Nigerian-only thing. Of course, developing zones like Nigeria, India, etc are Chief culprits and for obvious reasons, but it’s a general rule



I am Nigerian. I’ve been on this platform for years. I’ve bided for and accepted gigs from hirers here a few times.

I have never had a bad review.

But you can’t come asking for a well researched, SE-Optimized, premium-grammarly-vetted, CopyScape-checked, well-structured, AP-Styled, zero-AI writing gig for N5 per word. You nor know watin you de find nao.

For example, I have a nairalander still contact me after he first reached out since 2018. He still outsource his gigs when I’m less occupied and money no de hand.

But what does he pay? Sometimes, over #20 per word. To date, I’m the first person he contacts when he has writing gigs.

Funnily, I always ask him to preview before delivery; at least, for that third-eye perspective. But he always laughs it off. He doesn’t open my work; he sends to his client straight up—Always. And he doesn’t even need to understand the job requirement, he sends the order instructions to me straight up, too.

No, I no be Nigerian. I be Jamaican.



If you go restaurant without firsthand customer testimonials, any rubbish you chop, na you sabi na.

My point: Your recruitment process should go beyond polished cover letters and CVs.

Ask for samples that reflects the writing style you seek. Further, request PAID tests. If the key elements in the samples and paid test are consistent, then nobody tells you that’s a good writer. If you wish to push it further, ask to hop on a call with the prospect.

These are common global standards.

But no. You guys won’t do that ‘cause your budget doesn’t even meet the standard you desire.



I’m not defending anyone. I’m a writer. So, I shouldn’t keep mum when ‘Nairaland writers’ are dragged.

Besides, there’s no such thing as ‘Nairaland Writers’. Some people you see read on this faceless forum have some of the top-rated writing services on Upwork and co. Or, those wans no join your ‘Nairaland writers’ category? So, anybody wey send you a “Re: I am a writer” application email, you don quick quick qualify them as ‘Nairaland writer’, ba?

You and your brother, Ekems2020, should stopiiit

Because that is derogatory way to talk to people regardless of your experiences in the past. It purely rude and shows himself might have little or no onion of whatever it is he is advertising.

No sensible business man talks that way not even dangote and Otedola who have lost billions. Besides, man might have not even lost a dime!

theadeola:
Most of you attacking the OP have no better offers to give, nothing constructive to say. Just insults and curses.

Why am I not surprised?

Person wey no well!

If it were that easy he would have done it himself and pocketed the whole money or give it to his friends and family members.

This place is one were you see different types of crazzzzyyyy asssss people littered all around in the name of looking for content writers.

Bunch of retarrrdss!!!!

femsam500:
I understand your frustration which I think is linked to the series of failures you've had via DM but still bro, this advert reeks too much of rudeness. There is should a subtle way to pass a message without outrightly sounding demeaning.

You advertised an offer and anyone reading could sense your anger and disrespect in every word. If it were to be in the USA or any working environment, I am sure this wouldn't be posted.

Anyway, good luck to everyone who would be sending that DM

Where is his family? Let them kuku come and do it.

If they conduct online interview, its the same him that would have network failure, poor camera quality, low battery, noisy environment or no data. Sometimes they conduct physical interviews to mitigate this issues.

No doubt the world is revolving but they also have to put into consideration the society we live in. What of other applicants who do not have a laptop or internet enabled phones? We would still complain if they get kicked out because of that.

advanceDNA:
You are right...He is rude and would likely not get called ......but some of these employer needs rude people like these to make them see reality....

Like seriously...pple are getting jobs without stepping out of their house, yet one cheap àss company want someone to spend over 10k for first interview over a job he may not get.....

the bad part is .....na insurance job that pays 30k per month....

U mentioned oil company....oga ask around.. u will not step into any serious oil company before u get their job...all the first and second online test, interviews, and even signing of offer letter will be done online....one of my friends just a got a job with SchlumBerger and it was the final stage he took flight which the company even paid for...

.. Abeg oooo no company should stress anybody this season...pple dey vex

Bro, we all know why some of this companies dont conduct online interviews.

If they conduct online interviews, its the same people that would have network failure, poor camera quality, low battery, noisy environment or no data.

PrettyRX:
For you to compare Shell with these small companies shows you have no idea about standard interview processes

You are a clown and people like you will always blame others for your failures. If they conduct online interviews, its the same you that would have network failure, poor camera, low battery, noisy environment or no data.

Even if they conduct online interviews and finally employ you, you will also ask them to give you transport fare and clothes to resume work with.

If you aint reading for physical interviews then its safer you apply for jobs within your immediate environment.

numericalguy:
Goan sit down for corner.. Na wicked people go suffer people first all in the name of interview.
Technology have solved most of the interview challenges now

They will invite over 1000 people for vacancies not even up to 5 just to make themselves feel good.

This is actually rude and foolish. The best would have been to simple ignore or drop your suggestion "respectfully". Didn't you see the location before you applied? Didn't they offer you ample time to prepare for the interview.

To even have the guts to post it here. No sane person should employ a loud-mouthed and rude person like you. If NNPC or Shell sent you that invite, would your reaction had been the same?

Most of you out here especially those looking for writers are just looking for people to steal their work and ideas from
