Lol... And the idiot contacted me last night to sell $70 GnS PayPal funds to me. Nawa ooo.
Please tell us how it happened.

Is that number you uploaded there the same as the one that was used to scam the person?. You're not a newbie here and if the person that was scammed could not have the person he transacted with quote him here, then that's his problem. I am a hard-working freelancer that makes her money legally and sell it to exchangers here. I suggest you take down my profile if you don't want trouble. At least you should have the courtsey to investigate the moniker that was mentioned before you upload a private conversation.

How long does it take for this option hit the payorneer account? I tried this option and after 15 days the money left freelancer.com but a day after, it is yet to reflect.
Should I be worried?

Sorry for the late reply. I trust you have received your payment by now. It takes around 3-5 days. There's nothing to worry about.

Hello go4sucess please help a brother out on freelancer have been following your post and I have been on freelancer have placed several bids nothing yet maybe there is something I am not doing right cos I freelance on fiverr. I want to focus more on freelancer for now. If you can help out will really appreciate. Thanks alot.

I'm sorry to hear that you're not getting projects. The website seems saturated nowadays. Keep bidding, you'll definitely get a project soon. I was on the site for almost a year before I got my first project. I was discouraged and abandoned the account. Then I logged in one Sunday morning and bid for a project. I was in church when I saw the chat. Guess what? The client was from Dubai and she gave me order worth $1500 within several weeks. I didn't have any reviews and was surprised that she trusted me with her project. After I submitted the first set of her articles, I gained confidence and started submitting proposals to other clients.
Freelancer is a crazy place, if you don't have tons of reviews or you're not from U.S. and other native countries, you can be frustrated.
Always bid more after midnight, write a custom proposal for each project, show proof of your expertise e.g. links to your portfolio or other samples.
I am not really working on the site for now as I got an editing contract from a proofreading company. I also have few clients that I write for. I just submit some proposals to use my free bids. Good luck.

I didn't get any mail and I don't know your email. Please check my signature. We discussed the topic extensively on the freelancer thread. [quqote author=HermitSage post=67933742]

Interesting books choice. Uhm, I've sent a mail to you. I want to ask you some questions on freelancer.com. Especially the payment option. I've sent you a mail, if you don't see it, can you kindly mail me back? Thanks.[/quote]

I guess it's time to visit the bookstore. I must have these books in my library. I also want my kids to read them. I don't understand the kind of literature books these schools are buying nowadays. My favorites were:

Sugar Girl
Without a Silver Spoon
The Hunter and the Hen and other Stories
Koku Baboni
The Bottled Leopard
Stories my mother told me
Sizwe Bansi is Dead
Our Husband has Gone Mad Again
Things fall apart
Animal farm
Twelfth night
The Virgin
The joys of motherhood
The fate of the Cockroach
Oliver Twist
She Stoops to Conquer
A tale of two cities
Arabian Nights Tales
and more

Thanks, I agree with you. I just believe there is something you can still do while hubby is off to work and the kids are off to school. For now some people that are not close to me think I'm a full-time housewife, since I took a break from teaching. I have someone at the store so I don't go often. I'm mostly at home from morning when the kids go to school till they come back. Most of my study and writing are online based and there's WhatsApp and Telegram to discuss business. So when I switch on the gen, neighbours think I'm watching African Magic. But once I'm done with my chores, I'm online to quickly acheive one or two things. I have the house to myself till four in the evening. That's enough time to be productive. Being an housewife is great, but one can also find something to do, that won't affect the care of the children. And the fact is, you can't spend twenty-four hours everyday taking care of the children. I tried it once, I was so bored. It was that period of my life I realized that- "an idle hand is the devil's workshop."

bukatyne:
I like your story.

However, an housewife is one who has no other source of income. All she does is care for the family.

I am clearing this so that a married Linda Ikeja would not say that she is an housewife.

As a woman, you must find something to do to contribute to humanity. I have dreams and aspirations, and I wouldn't want my bio to simply read- Full time housewife, mum of three.'
No matter your location, there's a gap waiting for you to fill or a problem you can solve. Doing that will make you an important part of society. You gave up your career because of the kids, so what next?
When my family moved to the outskirts of Lagos, I was excited that we finally have our own building. But then I realized that both of us cannot continue to face Lagos traffic everyday while we abandon the children. One of us have to stay back and probably find something to do within that vicinity.

As an educator, I approached my kid's school and offered to take the children creative writing and phonics based on my experience from the international School where I was working in Lagos. Thankfully, they were also using the British curriculum. Afterwards, I opened a kiddies store that became a force to reckon with in that community. I made friends in school and get to interact with the parents of the children I teach and my customers. Most people count on me to get their kids the trending stuffs, especially back to school items.
The amazing part was having the time to take care of my kids and making an impact. I didn't lose my personality to become an housewife. I have since taken a break from teaching in order to take some courses and empower myself to be on the same level with my previous colleagues. I earn as a writer and from my store, so I'm not a burden to my husband.
I know stay at home mums that engage in handwork and home businesses. Women should realize that they have a destiny to fulfill. Be creative and hard-working.
There's always something to do out there. And the social media and internet has made everything easy. But if you think they're for uploading the pics of your perfect life and the nice things your family have, you have not discovered your purpose in life.

Hi bros, he has taken down wyse's details. And I promised to take down my posts in exchange. Kindly unquote me so I can edit the post.

[quote author=go4success post=62103745]Closed! Hi everyone. I need two writers for a long-term project.Please send me a DM. Please note that I'm not paying much. I'm also just starting out, but you don't have to worry about payment. I will pay immediately if your content is good. Thanks. [/quote
]Modified: It's been a pleasure working with great people on this platform. Two of my writers are busy with exams and school stuff, so I need urgent assistance with a bulk project. Contact me via blessed-palms (remove the spaces) at (change to @) gmail.com. Thanks

My brother its a war out there, especially on a site like Freelancer.com with thousands of freelancers. It's not easy to get a direct contract from native clients, except you have something unique to offer. What are your strengths? What can you do that the other person can't? It also depends on your niche. The writing niche is saturated if that is what you do. You need to add skills. You can develop yourself in areas like SEO, resume writing, research writing, technical writing, cryptocurrency, Amazon affiliate copywriting and more. Then build your portfolio and have evidence to show online. e.g., links to websites, blogs and social proof of your expertise. You can also offer to do a sample if the potential client seems credible.
Once you earn the trust of clients, they won't care about your nationality. You must be extremely good at what you do. If you are a writer, then develop yourself and become a badass writer. Your grammar must be excellent, and you must be confident when chatting with a potential client. I usually offer to do a sample, and that's it. There are times that you would be discouraged because you are not a native, but clients you have worked with will keep coming back for you, and that makes it worthwhile.

Joseid:
Guess you started working in September? It seems you've made some progress. Going by what the guy said, do you think these freelance sites are accommodating to Nigerians? I mean, aside from the Nigerian factor, it appears everyone wants to hire natives. It tends to be discouraging.

haywhylord:
Thanks man. $100

Sorry bros. Don't worry you will make more than that online in the nearest future. My first$75 was a big deal to me then. So I know how you feel.
