Please can we still get the process of getting an account approved on Upwork. Thank you. Just saw this thread.

espirito:
I salute you @op, trick still works, Nigerian upwork account created and verified today, thanks

Hello my friend. I am glad you have been of help to many up work freelancers. Please I need help in creating an up work account. Please what do I do. God bless you in advance.

Damitism:
Glad to be of help.

Yes it will my friend. They will require it to match your bank details when you want to withdraw. Make sure it changes or better still you can actually change name and wait for their approval and you will most likely be allowed to change the name since there is a little similarity between both names. But if you can get the name changed now, please do so.

Also how much were you charged to open an account. I want to open another.

Dude go make money, and leave those bitches for now.

You are loosing..... you are loosing. 90mins or not

lomprico:
Is it 90 min yet?

Aubameyang missing that penalty was really poor. That is the difference between Aubameyang and the likes of strikers like [Messi, Ronaldo, Aguero, Kane, Suarez, Griezman etc]. These players deliver in big moments and seal the deal. Aubameyang is overhyped and extremely lazy, and still needs to learn a lot. Please I have said it many times without numbering if you are tensed to play a 90 Minute penalty, pls either play it at the center or put it at a side but with huge power. No keeper wants to stay at the center for such a desperate penalty. Always play a penalty with power then you have a chance that even if the goal keeper choose that side, the power might save you. Is this too much to ask for?
Arsenal hasn't gotten it yet since Vanpersie. Vanpersie is a big match player and delivers when it matters.

Okay. I will do that. Thanks.

I can't remember the password of this account's e-mail. Please resend your message to nalisesenoj@gmail.com.

No my friend it doesn't. I even tried that method. I took 3 tests and even had a score of over 4.0/5 for the three tests respectively but still they just won't approve. It can really be annoying.

manlawal:
Does test improve chances of approval?

Upwork updates it in your profile there. They determine the rates they want to use, and most times it's okay.

Alonso80:
Great. Where and how do you check Gtb rates? Thanks

I guess you are correct, but upwork told me I couldn't withdraw any amount less than 100 dollars. But I think it is possible. Just try

smokers:
He is right about everything apart from the amount. I have withdrawn less than 100 dollars on upwork on several occasions. just go to your profile and click get paid now. insert the amount and withdraw.

Yes my friend, hope you get approved. All the best

manlawal:
Thanks waiting for the approval time guess it is tomorrow

That would be great Janny. I can always edit the country after getting approved. I sent you a mail

Itsjanny:
I create US account and I get approved immediately I click on submit. If that's the kinda account you've been trying to create, I can help you.

If you meant account approval, it takes 24 hours or even less. If you have a way of opening an account on upwork and getting it approved, you are going to be a hero to a lot of people here. After opening my account, I have been trying to open for other people, but it hasn't been working out. I even tried the method stated in this thread, but to no avail. If anyone has any secret, please just share. Thank you in advance

manlawal:
How many days those it take up work to approve ?

Yes my friend. When you get up to 100 dollars, you can withdraw immediately and receive it within few minutes

drdrei09:
thank you very much bro, I really appreciate this.
I have just 74 dollars in my account, that means I can't withdraw now.

It gets updated regularly, but currently it is 333 naira to 1 dollar

Alonso80:
Bro thanks for this. What about the exchange rate? How much did you get per $?

First of all, you can not withdraw any amount less than $100 on upwork. You have to accumulate funds till $100 or above. You can know how much you have by going to "Reports then overview". Your "AVAILABLE" is your money. You have to have $100 in your "AVAILABLE" to receive your money. But you need to complete the following first.
Now to the procedure in details.
For this to work, you need to have put a NIGERIAN address as your address.
Go to "SETTINGS" in your profile, then "GET PAID", then go all the way down to "PAYMENT METHODS" and add method.
The first option you would see there is the one recommended for Nigeria. It will be stated as
"DIRECT TO LOCAL BANK (NGN)
$0.99USD PER WITHDRAWAL" which will be deposited to your local bank account in NGN
Then click on "SET UP"
The next thing you would see is "ADD PAYMENT METHOD: DIRECT TO LOCAL BANK" and your bank information will be required.
You will be required to put in your "BANK SWIFT CODE"
Gtbank's SWIFT CODE IS "GTBINGLA"
This is how GTB arrived at such code.
First 4 characters of the swift code is the bank's code which is "GTBI" for gtbank.
Next 2 letters represent the country's code which is NG for Nigeria.
The last 2 characters is the bank's headquarters' location code which is LA for lagos. GTB headquarters is in lagos. So combining it, you have GTBINGLA.
Other bank users can follow the procedure to do theirs.
Then after you have input your swift code, upwork automatically detects the code and displays the address of GTB's headquarters which is 635 AKIN ADESOLA STREET, VICTORIA ISLAND LAGOS, NIGERIA.
Then below that you will input your account number and all your details.
THATS ALL.
PLS VERIFY THAT YOUR INFO IS CORRECT, IF NOT, YOU WONT BE PAID.
It is that easy. The great thing about this method is that you receive your money within minutes of your money reaching $100 or above depending on the withdrawal amount you set. Some set their money to be automatically sent at $100, some set it at $200, some set it at $500 etc. Mine is set to be withdrawn at $100 top up. Why would I wait for $200 or more
Another cool thing about this method is that you are charged $0.99USD per withdrawal. This is extremely cheap trust me.
There are other options such as PayPal, Payoneer etc, but those options are the previous ways to get money go Nigeria and it is usually way more than $0.99USD for the transaction. I am grateful to upwork for adding this new method. Don't pay anybody to receive money from upwork. It is now easy to get money directly to your account.
If you have further questions after that, let me know or send me a mail.

drdrei09:
I'm very interested
walk me through it, please

It's a good niche but you need to provide previous experience/expertise related to that to gain the client's trust and the job there on.

manlawal:
what do you guys see about data entry and virtual assisatant niche?

Will do that in a minute. Hang on

drdrei09:
I'm very interested
walk me through it, please

I offer graphic design and logo design.

smokers:
bro what niche do you offer on upwork

I joined nairaland to make this comment. Sorry this is late my friend. You can easily do that for crying out loud. THAT GUY MUST BE A CRIMINAL TO CHARGE YOU THAT HIGH. Its right there in your profile to set. I have been on upwork since November last year and I have been paid 4 times of ($100, $200, $400, $1200) respectively directly to my local bank which is GTB and the transfer charge is just 0.99$ for any amount you want to cash out. Is that not incredible. If you are interested, let me know so I can walk you through. I won't charge you any amount.

drdrei09:
Mr Nichesiteseo, do you know how u can link my GTBank account to my up work please?
A guy does it for 10k around my place but that's too I expensive
