Hi everyone! My name is Hephzibah Asaolu, popularly known as Ladywriter on Nairaland. I started working on freelancer.com since 2011.

what will it take u( cost) to tutor someone privately. Pls reply via valchuks02@gmail.com

Reply sent. Check your mail.

slim49z:
Thank you! It was on FV though, not FL

Ok. Fiverr! The prices are not too cool there because everyone has the mindset of $5. It will take efforts on your part to make them pay more. What you can do is to charge per page or charge per content. For example, you can say 2-4 pages of BS plan is $5, if you want more pages then you pay more. Or BS plan without competitors analysis and the financials is $5, with competitors analysis and the financials it is $50. Something like that, all you need is to be creative with it and you will make more money, but not as much as FL though.

eye2sabi:
Lady writer please rajat07 contacted me that he had awarded me the job bt he didn't create a milestone. Pls do u advice I take d job?
D guy took so long to award it so am kinda scared he might nt b willing to pay after work.
Advice pls

Forget about rajat07, look for other employers who you can work directly with. Rajat07 operates a content mill and he may not set milestone for you. Look for employers who have few articles to write so you can quickly get your review and move on.

slim49z:
Ngwa Madam Lady writer,

Biko how much do I charge for business plan? I can write it but don't wanna over charge or under charge o

I don't really write business plans (I only wrote one). However, It depends on the range of the project fee set by the employer. For example, if it is from 30-250, you can charge between 150 - 200. If it is from $250-750, you can charge from 250 to 400.

Godmother:
Yiyee!!! I have just been awarded a project on FL. 8 milestones were set and I'm chatting with the guy. Do I go ahead and request for the milestone.

I read the whole pages of this thread but still dont understand the concept of milestone. A client just set up 4 milestones for me. Do I request a release right now or after the project

Hi Godmother, Congratulations. Milestone is released after the completion of the project. So, do the work first and then the employer will release it accordingly. I guess the milestone is set in stages, so once you finish the first stage, you can remind him to release the first milestone and so on and so forth.

* Milestone is like "pay before service", but you don't have access to it until you complete the job. The fund is kept in freelancer's account, then when the employer releases it, you see it in your account.

Need help on how to make money as a newbie in freelance com

All the help you need to make money on FL is on this thread. Read from page 0 - the end. Then take the necessary action to start.

INDESTRUCTABLEX:
I really didn't want to do this, but then, life is about giving. This reply is for those having issues bidding. It has worked for me on several occasions as a freelancer and in life.

I can sell an egg to a hen and this is the principle behind it.

First, there are 3 questions every seller tries to answer - Why, How, and What.

Research has shown that people buy things based on emotions. The part of the brain linked to purchase decisions is linked to your emotions. What this means is that no matter how perfect your sales pitch is, you may not sell because you haven't reached a clients emotion.

This is worst on freelancer and fiverr (buyers request). There are several hundreds of people bidding.

Back to Why, How, and What. Most sellers go for what and how, and leave the why. You may get tangible results online but it will be difficult selling offline. An example -

Hello freelancers, I want my website content re written to pass CopyScape.

"Hi, I am a writer with several years of experience in a variety of niches. I am very meticulous, creative, and passionate about my job. I will write 100% error-free, SEO, and CopyScape-passed articles,
Hire me."

Notice that while my bid sounds professional, it only states what I do. There is no why (a little why) or how. The truth is that this is what a lot of bids look like. The next option is for the client to choose based on reviews. So let's rewrite our bid.

"Hello, I know what it feels like having CopyScape flag your contents down. I also know how quality content can transform your website and even ranking on Google. I am passionate about writing and this is what makes the difference. I am a meticulous writer with ample years of experience. My clients are my priority and this is why I research in detail before writing my articles.

I look forward to working with you. Kindly contact me for more details."

Notice that I first tried to connect (Why)
Next I said something about research (How)
And finally What.

That is the correct order on how to sell anything to anyone.

I hope this helps... Contributions are welcome. This is not an ultimate guide.

Attention: All newbie & Oldies in the house. Use this tested and proven proposal in your bids. It works! Surely, you can use it to sell an egg to a hen. Thank you Clem. You Rock!

ken4jj:
What do they mean by " snap and upload a pix of u holding a key code" ?

They will issue a key code that is unique to you. You write it down on an A4 paper, hold it in your hand and take a snap. Then you submit it to them.

mexite:
Hi fellow freelancers,
Has anyone tried to withdraw their funds from freelancers between Monday and today? I thought it was business as usual as concerned withdrawals on FL but my withdrawal request got terminated.
Why?
FL has upgraded its withdrawal requirements and so I need to upload all KYC requirements involving 3 compulsory steps:
1. Upload an ID - Passport, current driver's license or national ID
2. Snap and upload a pix of u holding a key code and ur ID
3. Upload a utility bill or bank statement showing ur name, address and name, address and phone number of bank/company.

Please why does FL want to make earnings more difficult. I think this is too stringent, all three steps.
Or am I the only one experiencing this?
And I really need little change there bad.

House.....please address.

Hmmm! it is part of their strategies to weed out scammers. I did mine too. For the 3rd requirement, you can just submit a copy of your bank statement (you can download it online from your bank's website) and send it to them.

slim49z:
well answered ma'am but did you read the many comments below the post? All complaining of same thing. I mean no 'negativity' here, just that it's good to be informed.

I also read FL terms, there is a clause where it says "it reserves the right to terminate any account without any reason.." Now wt kinda yearn is dat

If you are looking for 'negativity' about FL, you will see lots of them online. Instead of seeing the 'negativity', see 'opportunity' to learn and grow. Then concentrate on your work, learn as much as you can and set up your own online business. It is a place to get stabilized financially so that you can have enough funds to start other business online. So, look at it that way. I am not defending FL, I am not their ambassador, but God has really used the platform to help me and other Nigerians. It is well!

slim49z:
A word about freelancer.com- Always withdraw your money as soon as you earn it!

Read this, https://omnipresentwords./2013/02/05/freelancer-com-scam-part-i-how-10-cost-me-14000-among-other-misgivings-and-apathy-of-freelancer-com-staff/

@Slim49z, I read the article on the link above. I think FL is afraid of money laundering through their website because the money in question is much. With communications on both sides, the issue can be resolved once it is verified that it is not an illegal transfer. I have been working on FL since 2011 and I have handled some big projects. I always get my money whenever I wanted it. So, guys don't be afraid.

ken4jj:
Hi gurus,

I am new to freelancer. I am writing articles for someone. I have already written about 20 and it continues. despite completing and delivering each set milestone,he has not given me any review.My question is : Are reviews given at the end of that particular project? If i will have to write over 200 articles in the next 2 months , will i have to wait till then to get reviews? Can i ask for reviews for each milestone job completed or wait till all the job is declared complete. I'm confused because despite all i have written, my profile still shows 0% completed and no reviews. Note, he has been releasing the money as each set of milestone is delivered.
Please i need clarification from experts.
Thanks

Hi, you can ask him to please close the project after each 20 or 40 articles, give you a review and hire you directly for the next batch. Tell him the importance of a review to your profile and work on FL. I am sure he will understand.

ranson:
Please house help a newbie. I don't know if I'm the one that is yet to understand FL site or may be my browser is not good enough. I used Google chrome and later Mozilla but yet the website seem not to be users friendly. I could not even sigh up talkless of bidding. Someone should place help with useful info.

Oh! It was redesigned recently, but you can still navigate it. Take you time to study it and read the FAQS. You can also contact the support desk if you need help.

eye2sabi:
Gurus in the house, I just placed a bid and the poster contacted me via inbox, and said I should write an article of 1000 words in less than 8hrs.
My question is;
Is this how a job is won? Cos d project is open
What should I tell her?

Tell her to award the job, set the milestone and you will complete it within the stipulated time.

Millionjeff:

Communicate with him. Ask him to send the topic of the article to you. For the app issue, you can contact the support desk.

offegas:

Hello guys !!
Just joined the freelance movement.....
Tried to bid for a job and was asked for
1. Uk English- level 1
2. Us English-level 1
What can I do about that ??

Cc ladywriter & co.

You have to write the exam. Not all projects have that requirement. I suggest you look for such project, earn some money and then use it to buy the exam. You can also use accumulated points to buy it.
