I was once like you 8 years ago. No direction.

Send me a dm

There will always be jobs on Upwork, but my question is, will you have the connects to apply for those jobs?

Save your connect for good jobs, don't be applying for every job you see.

Be strategic.

Dey play. Religion is for poor man. A big scam.

He keeps on feeding his Egyptian fans haters the language they really understand.

**pepper dem**

In all your ways.

Go where the money is.

Don’t dull it

Nairaland is back

Back and stronger

ChybuzzDD:
You can't even get 2007 model at 4m now.

In November, i got a 2005 model for a relative @4.7m, and that was after heavy bargaining

Thanks. I will chill and add 1.5m more, need 2013 model at least

Angrygoat:
Old model till 07.

4m for 2007?

This is 2024 already.


I won't buy anything less than 2013 model

Chicagograduate:
EFCC said it will start arresting Nigerians with unexplained wealth.
Where you get 4m for this renewed she?

Lol thanks to exchange rate

Poleski:
If this is how you measure a good woman, then you have a bad mentality and you don't deserve a good woman!

Dey play.

Bad men marry good wife mostly.

Good men end up marrying packaged women.

I need your suggestions

I'm a family man and I need Toyota Corolla for my child school and daily runs due to fuel economy. Currently using Honda Accord but want to change it.

Which type should I buy considering durability and fuel consumption.

My budget is around 4 million Naira.

shereef19:
Pls don't deal with Ezchan freight..
They are very dubious
They claims to help buy and remove unnecessary weight but the company will add unnecessary weight still give excessive exchange rate
They will only b nice to you when u start with them...

Thanks for the info

Today is my wedding anniversary, so grateful to God for the journey so far.

AI doing skit making, looks very boring. Her audience will easily get bored of her style of content.

Mechanic destroyed my first car.
I will never forget the experience

Happy Anniversary to you both! Marriage is not a joke.

Mine is 2 years already.
How time flies.

Keep choking the single brothers and sisters

FunnyDude:
Remember to always show empathy to your prospects business. And follow up at least 7 times.

It works like magic.

There was this client I onboarded last week from CA, during our live call, she said one thing that struck my attention.

I quote below:

"I made this decision to work with you because you showed you really cared about my business, and your followed up as well."

Remember this client I talked about?

She's into e-commerce.

I closed her after our discovery call.

Generated 6 figure$ for her brand during the Black Friday sales.

I'm happy.

Lmfao you need to grow up

Why not, you can marry yourself

The money is in the follow-ups

Keep following up.

Your prospects and previous clients are currently holding your $$

Go get 'em
Follow up.

Long time coming

You can only make money when you provide value to people. This theory has been in existence for centuries.

Alot of people are looking for shortcut (ponzi, mmm, naijabet, etc).

Truth is, those shortcuts are not sustainable for long.

Learn a high income skill and get paid continuously.

C'mon do your wedding once and for all. You'll like the experience.

I did mine is 2021 spent around 4M.


God is Great! We are 2 years already

You don't know that earning dollars online and living in Nigeria is one of the greatest gift God can do for you as a Nigerian.

If you're among those earning online. Thank your God. You're ahead of 80% of Nigerians struggling.

You won't understand this until you try and look for a job in Nigeria.

This is exactly what am going
through. A family man with 2 boys, thank God I married a good wife who keeps reassuring me that everything will be well.
By this time last year, I had 3 cars to myself, I was doing very well until a business partner whom I trusted so much made away with my money and the rest was history.
Most times I cry and weep like a baby, being the breadwinner of my family and watching my parents suffer is what breaks me down the most.

Just today my mum sent me 3k from the village, just to show you guys how bad my condition is.
A guy of 32 who once owns cars now jumping bike to drop his children at school.
Let me save this here, I hope and pray nature smiles at me soon.
I read a comment were one guy was talking about saving for the rainy days, bro pray problem doesn't come.
Ps note-Am a graduate of History and international studies with 2:1, I base in Warri, incase you have any job or hustling please notify me. Thanks

Really learning alot here. Sorry

If you're earning remotely, please SAVE.

You'll not understand what it means to have a skill and earn with it until you listen to stories of others.

Save your income.

Diversify into offline business.

Remote opportunities won't last forever .

Remember.

Everyminutes there is always job on Upwork.
If you're not getting enough jobs, change your strategy.

24Months Road Map to $20,000 for Anyone starting from $0 in Nigeria

========
1. Get a job if you don't have money (you need to feed & live)

2. While at the job, Learn a high income skill (you will need this to hit your first $1000)

3. One high income skill is Copywriting

4. Now you have learnt a high income skill, create & grow an LinkedIn, Instagram or TikTok page then make videos plus pictures showing people how to use your copywriting skill to grow their business.

Offer to create Copy for $200 (very cheap). As your audience grows you will get clients

5. If you sell this service for $200, 5 clients will give you $1000. Save every dollar. Live off your job. This money is for your future.

6. Once you have saved up $1000, still keep the job...also keep selling the skill.

7.Now put the $1000 in a business or side-hustle. Choose one with low-risk, high upside e.g info products, Ecom, dropshipping, offline biz, coaching/consultancy, etc.


8. Sell the products you have bought, then reinvest....rinse and repeat. At this point life is getting easier. Money is coming in from work, your skill and business - if you don't drastically increase lifestyle you will be able to handle loads of bills now.

9. Use the 50/30/20 rule. Pay yourself a salary and save the rest OR spend 50% on your needs (rent, food, etc). Spend 30% on wants (charity, dates, cold stone) save 20%. Note you can flip this and do 30% for saving and 20% for needs.


If you keep reinvesting in your business & saving right you will hit $10,000 saving target real fast.

Once you have $10,000, it is time to throw it into a business you set up once that pay you passive income with someone to manage

Eg: a gym, Keke, car wash,



The game is daily income, no matter how small...if a business makes ₦5000 a day profit, you will have ₦150,000 in a month. If you have 10 cashflow business that do this monthly, you will make ₦1.5M a month.

This is 18M a year. This is $20k

Now...you are at a point where you can start looking to make one move that will make you rich, cash is not a problem so you can be more aggressive saving in crypto and you will have cash to chase opportunities.


F.D

You're not another copywriter, designer, web developer, or media buyer.

You're a problem solver.

Think like a Doctor Who diagnose patient ailment. Do this for business owners too.

You need to position yourself as a PROBLEM SOLVER.

Identify their problem and pitch the solution to them.

You'll get client in your outreach.
