I'd drop a few tips for newbies on Freelancer.com and Upwork.com ( I don't use Fiverr).

1) You need to be online all the time. All the freaking time. This means you'd need:
a) Very regular power supply
b) Fast internet.

2) Drop your hourly rates and bid amounts. As you're starting out, don't have "big eyes" except you have a really outstanding portfolio. Make your bid as fair as possible to the clients budget. If budget is, say, $30-$250. Your bid should be around $50-ish. Right now, you need reviews. So do the job well at the best possible price and get great reviews.

3) Build a good an outstanding portfolio.

4) Stay awake more at night. Target times from 1300 to 2400 hrs WAT.

5) BE CONSISTENT. Look at it as an actual job and treat it as such. Don't expect to put in time whenever you feel like it or are free and yet want to make a killing. Joke's on you!


6) BE MORE CONSISTENT.

7) Craft good proposals. Short but good! Also try to be among the first ten person's to drop a proposal (both on Upwork and Freelancer). Talk about the project, the client and how you intend to bring value to the project in your proposal and less about you.


8.) Keep to timelines! Don't give unrealistic timelines.

9) Politely ask for 5-star rating when job is completed.

10) Don't give up easy!


God luck!!!

all what this guy said is the truth... But I will add more to it.

When starting up, DO NOT BE GREEDY... Only charge an exorbitant amount when you have done many works.

Learn to write good proposal...

I don't advise anyone to apply for work that gat 10 to 15 proposals sent, so you don't waste your connect.

Lastly, exercise patience... It may take time, BUT ONCE YOU GET THAT FIRST JOB, IT BECOMES EASIER TO GET MORE.

KillMNKnow:
FG will compensate those who he hurt with your money... So sharrap Mr abalebe or abrabe

you moniker show the kind of person you are... A bitter soul, KillMNKnow for what?... Fool you are!

I don't know what to believe again... They told us that rats and cockroaches prevented the president from accessing the office he used to access before he traveled to the UK.

When he came back, he couldn't enter... He worked from home while the office was being renovated...

Why don't FG sue Kanu to court if it's a lie?.

This one pass propaganda!

OP na you dey experience that one... I still get my morning erection... Very hard one at that

The only man I recognize there is Late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu ojukwu, the man who gallantly fought our detractors when they came to erase the so called dot in a circle.

Azikwe is part of the problem we are facing together, if he had listened to Ojukwu in 1967, we won't have been in the mess we are today!

For your health, I suggest you seek medical advice from a doctor... Na foreign object enter your ear oo.

EraseTheDot:

Ignorant folks like you would rather spend time watching BBNaija reunion than follow up on proceedings of EndSars panel.
To help cure your ignorance, the panel extends beyond EndSars to general cases of police brutality. I know for sure that the policemen involved have been dismissed and being jailed.
Upon thousands of ibo boys wasted by Akwuzu Sars, Not one of the victims has been compensated as their lives matter nothing to the government of your state.. Yet, whatever efforts LASG considers in ensuring a degree of closure is being undermined by children of hate.

- erase the dot

from your moniker I can sense so much hate, envy and jealousy... Erasethedot indeed. That is mere wishful thinking... No one can erase the children of light..

Don't worry, very soon we will know who will erase who, it won't be long.

Princevirus:

Thanks

welcome... When you are done reading it, you can join our telegram group via the link on our boss(v.enzal) signature.

I call this one cock and bull story... See as fine girl take scatter her life. May God never allow such to befall us.

She even put on makeup and mary kay, why isn't she on a handcuff ?... Your parents suffer send you school, instead of bending down and read and become something tomorrow, you go dey follow sugar daddy.

timesup234:
Shithole America always trying to hide their failures from the world. The building totally collapse watch the idiots deceive Africans by calling it partially collapse. America is a smelling shithole, anyone applying for a visa to go there need to get their head checked

Go to the United States embassy in Abuja or its Consulate in Lagos and see how people dey troop inside for visa interview... Yet you call it a shithole... I want to live in that shithole.

The United States of America remains number one in the world and the world's strongest country... Not even your hate can change that!

Princevirus:

Interested too bro. Please mention me

ok

Atteraino:


Okay, thank you.. Please mention me, i appreciate
is it possible to use a smartphone? Or just a laptop

you can do it with your android smartphone... All you need to do is download google docs from play store and also Microsoft Word and you are good to go.

But I use a laptop because I type faster with it.

Atteraino:


Bro please can u put me on freelancing? Thanks for your reply, i've sent u an email

nothing much there bro... Am into email copywriting and article writing... But I will advise you to learn email copywriting, it's pretty easy... You can be charging 50$ to write a single email...

I will mention you in our thread, once you read the thread at least twice, NOTHING ON EARTH WILL MAKE YOU NOT TO MASTER EMAIL COPYWRITING... NOT EVEN YOUR VILLAGE PEOPLE...LOL!

Juliusmalema:


Their is no foreign country that recognises biafra. as far as international community is concerned there is no country known as biafra.

Or have you travelled with biafran passport before?

Nnamdi Kanu only feeds you guys with fat lies so that his biafra incoprated business will continue to boom.

Online republic is as good as dead.

fulani herdsmen are in your village killing people and all you do is to defend a failed state... Go and mark today's date, Biafra will stand as a Country soon.

Suspect33:
did you use Nigeria as your location in upwork?

I started last week and no job yet, it's beginning to look like it's because of the 'Nigeria' in my profile

yes, I used Lagos, Nigeria... Client's don't care where one is from... As the ask is "Can you get the job done"?.

OP, it's better to tell folks the truth, the sound of the bitter kola is sweet, but that's not how the taste is....

All these things take time, you don't just pick your laptop or cell phone and start all this business and expect the money to start dropping immediately... You have to be patient and consistent.

When I went into freelancing, it took me good 3months to get my first job on Fiveer, and 1month to get the same on Upwork, but I didn't give up... Na their be the trick, if you give up, you don lose, but if you no give up, you don gain.

When I got my first job, I was happy, though it wasn't much, $13 and $50 respectively... But now, I know how much I make from both platforms.

So the main thing is "patience"!

Revere27:
All those shouting Learn a skill!!! Learn a skill !!

Is it not money you would use to learn something even after learning to establish oneself in this present Nigeria is something to worry about. The economy is not so favourable for entrepreneurs.

No one is ready to borrow you money for you to start any business, everybody eye just red.... Make God just bless you with grace and favour.

Not all skills require big money bro. I am currently learning Video editing on Youtube... Yes, I burn a large amount of data learning it, but it is to my advantage. When I'm done, I will add it to my list of skills on Upwork and the money keeps rolling in.

I agree with you, but the truth is that no sane person just decides to borrow without having an immediate and pressing financial need.

If you love yourself and your ego, prestige, and dignity, you will be doing yourself a whole lot of good to avoid Sokoloan, KashKash, Xcredit, lion cash, Lcredit and many more... They will do unimaginable things to you if you ever default.

Though some loan apps put a human face in doing transactions with their customers... If you ever have need for a loan, I will recommend Fairmoney, Branch and palm credit.

Branch is the best of them all, if you default, the won't put any more interest for you, but they will send you text message once in a while to remind you. But they will never call your contacts or message them.

Fair money and palm credit will add more interest for you, but they will never message your contacts or call them.

I have closely observed that all those preaching one Niga area are those benefitting from the commonwealth of the people and also the greedy politicians. They want One Nigeria to continue so they can continue amassing more wealth for themselves and their generations... May God have mercy on their evil black and dirty souls.

uptimumOne23:



I'm yet to find where I mentioned any tribe or anything related to it

but you said children of hate.

He can call us anything he like, But Chukwu okike abiama is always with us. Igbos are formidable...

The only tribe that fought the zoo for good three years without arms regardless of the fact that opportunist western countries backed them, but Ojukwu fought for 3years... Imagine what would have become of the present zoological republic if western countries didn't provide military aid.

So Buhari lied about the so-called Niger Delta elders assured him that igbos won't get access to the sea in case we secede...

Hahaha, the so-called president don't know that there is nothing like South south or whatever the nonsense is called. WE ARE ALL BIAFRANS AND WE WILL SECEDE TOGETHER!

uptimumOne23:
Securing Lagos from evening children and children of hate is one of the priorities of the Lagos Government.

Lagos keeps dishing out good leaders. All thanks to God and Bola Tinubu

Must you involve tribe in this?... Why can't we shun all these!...

Anyways, Lagos State Governor is trying, I commend it... If you do well, I will commend you. If you do bad, I will trash you online.

I no be agadi na agwo ofe

Creditalerts:

I was told 5k ,so 6 plus 5 plus 1k internal tfare .
12k it will get to you.

Note the fruit is bulky and weighty!

thanks, I will get back to you shortly!

After this one, you will also send me another one... People around me here need it badly, they are asking for it. So I want to be supplying them... If you send this one to me successfully, after I finish selling it, you will send me another.

Zygosis:
Useless nation

if you call the State of Israel that, what will you call the contraption you live in?

We shouldn't blame him... It is called secure the bag!...

If you are in his shoes you would say the same thing if you have no conscience. He said this to be in the good book of FG.

iberrylee:
Buhari should destroy the red soil people by sending in Fighter jets and lots of Artillery to reshape their flat heads

do you think it's that easy... Let him try it na, and the world will give him Late Gadaffi treatment. His case would even be worst than Gadaffi!

Simplyleo:

Lmao.

I hope no letter will written copying UN AU BBC HIV FIFA etc when the "rag tags" start their own.

if they want to start their own, I suggest the go after the UGM and not civilians.

If una protest finish, make una go house go chop oo.

Go and ask Libyans and Egyptians how they succeeded in ousting their respective presidents from office. You achieve little to nothing by staging a peaceful protest... You guys are only disturbing public peace and constituting a public nuisance at the same time.
