Thank you for your contribution.

Consider affiliate marketing.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your contribution. I'll put it into consideration.

Hi guys, please I'll appreciate your contributions on this topic.

I'll try to go straight to the point without telling unnecessary stories.

I have a brother who is doing a government job but the pay is so low he could be earning more as a laborer in a construction company. Although he's a graduate, the reason for the low pay is that he was only able to get the job using his secondary school certificate.

Now there is a child and a wife to feed. And because of "job security", I know he'll not want to leave that for something he's not sure if it'll work.

I'm a freelance writer and I know freelancing can give him a better life. However, writing is not his forte. So I want him to learn another digital skill while I put him through how he could get clients.

I know he used to be very creative as a young boy so I'm thinking graphics design. But at the same time, I'm hoping it would be a skill he can pick up and master in just a few months and start earning almost immediately.

I want to make sure I have something solid before I approach him. I'm willing to pay for courses and classes for him to attend and learn more.

If you've made it this far, I believe you have something for him and I'll be glad if you can contribute to this.

Follow the bag. Passion will pursue you.

While I cannot say what inspired OP to ask this question, I can tell that most people who ask the same question have been indoctrinated by motivational speakers.

Since most of them claim they do what they are passionate about (that is, motivating you and of course, making money from it), they believe everyone should be making money from their passions too. But sadly, this is not how real life works.

If you love motivational quotes, chances are you've come across interesting claims like this:

"Chase your Passions & Money will come. Chase Money & you may never find your Passions!"

or this

"If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life."

But let's come back to reality. We are not some brave heroes in a great movie who followed their passion and became very successful at the end of the day.

Sometimes, you have to do things you think you don't like to find out what you truly like.

Because you think your passion is music doesn't really make it your passion.

It is better to follow the bag and secure it first before going into things that you are not certain of.

I bet some people claim that football is their passion but they've never been rewarded for it. But what if these same people choose to follow the bag now and make a lot of money.

Imagine if they made it big and become a club owner someday?

I think following the bag first is always better.

Of course, You might be lucky to follow your passion and secure the bag at the same time. Good for you but don't get carried away and think life always works that way.

It's funny how there at over 4 pages of comments here and most of them are not helpful. People tend to think others experience life the same way they do. Imagine several comments claiming it's because you're not pressed that's why you can't pee.

I do experience this myself but I've never thought it had a name. Reading through WebMD right now, I realized that the condition is more common than I thought. From what I read, about 20 million Americans suffer from the shy bladder syndrome.

I know how it feels. I've beenbin situations where I had to hold myself for more than two hours because it won't just come out. And hey, it has nothing to do with the size of your thing. Believe me.

It is purely a social phobia. Nothing to worry about.

What works for me, however, is closing my eyes and imagining myself peeing whenever I'm around people. Also, one of the common time you'll experience this is when you're traveling. From my last experience, what I did was to sit back in the car and waited for those that have gone to ease themselves. After majority of them came back, I went outside to ease myself and it was very helpful.

I also realized that the more you free your mind and distract yourself from the actual act, you will get better over time.

Thank you.

Take them out to a great resturant and buy them food like someone suggested already. Make videos of the moment and take enough pictures. Believe me, this will be part of the memories you won't be able to forget.

No matter what you buy, it will be forgotten after a year. Also, you don't want to spend all the alawee on buying gifts. I'm saying this from my own personal experience. I saw one of the videos I made with my closest friends when we were about to round up and sweet memories flashed back to me.

By the way, I wish you all favour out here.
Congratulations!

Hi guys, please who knows where I can get an international passport in Kwara state?
Also, the price and ease of getting it. Thank you!

I heard you can convert it at Kwara Hotel but I didn't later need to use an exchanger. Another option is to talk to someone working at the western union in a bank, they usually have exchanges they work with.

TheDarkGamer:
I understand. However, my first-ever client is asking me to provide my bank account details. How do I receive the money within the regulations of fiverr?

If the client is asking you to provide your bank details, it is against Fiverr's T&C. They'll probably sanction you if you do that.

Again, working with a client you do not know and accepting payment outside Fiverr may not be the best option for you. Fiverr's escrow protects you from being scammed. What if the person refuse to pay after you deliver the service?

TheDarkGamer:
Who can explain how payments on fiverr work?

I was about to ask a client how much I was going to get paid, when a notification popped up. It read that I should not directly ask for a payment, or my account could be banned?

I don't understand. What do I do?

Fiverr don't want you to request for payment outside their platform. However, there are times that their bots are triggered because of certain keywords and not necessarily because you want to ask for payment outside the platform. Just modify your message and the message will disappear.

You can still go ahead and send the message even if the notification pops up as long as you're sure that the message doesn't contain anything that implies receiving money outside Fiverr.

Hello guys, how are you all doing? Hope the orders are rolling in and hope clients dey pay?

A quick and serious question now.

How do you guys rake in $1,000+ from freelancing monthly? I think it's a ceiling I'm finding difficult to break. It seems there is a trick that I don't know.

Any suggestions?
I'm willing to learn.

raphemmanuel:
Baba I'm so much grateful for your response.

Which bank do you think Is good to open a domiciliary account with.
I already have a savings account with zenith and Access bank.
Is this two bank okay, or you know a bank you can suggest to me.

My own account is UBA. I read somewhere that Sterling bank is easier but I can't confirm it since I don't have an account with them. I have access account and they won't stop sending emails to me about receiving funds from abroad so I guess it would be easier with them. Either way, just get to the bank and confirm. Best of luck!

raphemmanuel:
I'm trying to have the account because I want to be withdrawing from my payoneer account into it.

Because of the recent policies of the CBN, if you send money from your Payoneer to your Naira Bank account, the bank would automatically create a Dom account for you to receive the fund. However, this process really stressed me and I wouldn't advice you go through it.

Simply go to the bank and tell them that you want to open a savings domiciliary account. You only need your ID card, NEPA bill, passport, and all the basic requirements for opening a regular bank account.

If the bank automatically opens a Dom account for you, it's likely going to be a current domiciliary account and you'll have to look for referees with current account before you can access your money.

I hope this is helpful? If you have any other questions, let me know.

I've gotten some writers now.

kingtinnie:
Kwara hotel ...I think they have there

Thank you very much
I later got someone.

Good morning guys.

I've searched for Bureau de change (BDCs) in Ilorin online but I didn't get any contact or location where I can go and change USD to naira. If you know any BDC or someone I can call, I will appreciate if you can direct me to them. Thank you for your response!

gentlesil:
thanks but will Payoneer not charge me much, I have an account there, for almost a year now, I have not done any transaction with it. I hear they take an annual service charge but I don't know how it works

Payoneer charges 2% per withdrawal but at the end of the it's still better than the 360 / $ rate from bank. You can get about 450 - 470 / $ with BDC.

gentlesil:
this will be my first withdrawal from Upwork, I have about $150. I just learned that withdrawing to my domiciliary dollar account will cost a $30 fee per transaction and the local bank account is at a $360 rate with 0.99 fees. I have been seeing exchanges advertise here. pls, what's the benefit of using exchangers, or is it that those using exchangers do no have their local bank account added? Pls, any exchanger here should please educate me, so I know what to do.

Create Payoneer and add it to your Upwork. Send the form from Payoneer to your dorm account. Go to bank and withdraw your USD then look for a BDC and exchange it for a higher rate.

Desyno:
I have tried this for than 3 times now, this what I'm getting. I can't submit the code fiver sent to me. What could caused this?

Download hacker keyboard or use a computer.

Coolabbie:
Yes you need to have payoneer card

Oops, I don't have Payoneer card. I'll just stick with my other method for now.

Coolabbie:
The rates are also why I am using them. It also helps that transaction is fast and easy. Their verification might be a bit of hassle but for that rate, it is worth it.

The verification is something else. I'm tired of turning my head around already. However, how do you link your Payoneer to the app? Do you need to have a Payoneer card?

Coolabbie:
Guys, you can use Eversend app to withdraw your money from Payoneer at competitive rates.

Eversend is a Ugandan fintech company. Simply go to play store and download the Eversend app or use this link:
https://eversend.page/7cKe

You will be asked to fill in your details including mode of identification.
During identification, you will have to take a video selfie to verify your account.
Once your account is verified, you can then input your Payoneer card details.
At this point, the app will request permission to withdraw $1 from your Payoneer account. They won't chop your money; it will be in your account.
When this is completed, you can then start to use the app.

My last withdrawal which was early this month was $1 - 455. The exchange rate follows the fluctuations in the market so it is not steady.

Note: I am not a marketer for the company, just a freelancer like you. But if you sign up with the above link, we both get #400. Enough for data

Thanks for the information. It's their rate for me. Kuda bank is easy and fast but the rate is just 370-372 there about. I'll try it and see what rate they'll give me.

Hello guys, I trust you're all doing good. Please I have a quick question for Upwork freelancers. Do you think it's better to focus on a particular niche as a new seller on Upwork or be a general writer until you can find a niche that has the most sales? I realized that setting my profile as "science and medical writer" seems to be limiting the type of jobs they are suggesting to me. So, I'm thinking if I should just go for a "general writer" profile to be able to send proposals for more jobs. I will appreciate your suggestions. Thank you!

fitz101:
Thank you Sir for the information you posted below, as i have just opened a kuda bank account, verified it and withdrawn my little earnings from payoneer without hassle. And the rate is not quite bad 1usd @ N371. I know many may have not noticed the information below or ignored it completely. God bless you Sir.

Amen, thank you. I'm glad I could help.

It's just so unfortunate that the exchange rate is low compared to what you could have gotten from exchangers. However, you have peace of mind knowing that your money is safe.

do you still need review? I got $18 for sale

No thanks.
