Great thread! i just finished reading all the posts on this thread. I have been blogging for years but the income from Google AdSense is nothing to write home about. i just created an account on freelancer and payoneer. my account on payoneer was verified within minutes and my card should arrive by the end of November. i would start with articles writing and upgrade to blog design, logo & banner design, android and coding as i have already acquired these skills. Thanks to you all who have contributed to this thread. Asante sana!

Good one bros! You have a good plan in place, work hard at it and you will succeed. All the best!

Ladywriter is it OK to signup as a Nigerian and how can I effectively carry out research on article

Please what would you do if you noticed you were charged $5 off your money by Freelancer for hourly rate for a project and

1. The money haven't been released to you

2. The normal charge should have been $1.2 (10%) but you saw $5

Pls how would I recover back my money

Click on help at the top of the screen, click on support desk, then click on live chat. You can discuss with any of their staff online, they will explain everything to you. You can also contact them anytime you have issues with any freelancer. They will settle it for you or tell you how to go about it.

Chidinho10:
alright, how does the test look like and what kind of questions should I expect?

Does it take long before getting the payoneer card? Any hidden charges? Pls forgive my curiosity, its common with newbiees, God bless you richly

Can't tell you specifically. I took mine two years ago. It is something you can handle. It takes 25 days for your card to arrive (all things being equal).

Chidinho10:
Ladywriter, I must commend your act of kindness by trying to explain this act of money making wonderfully well.

I must state that I'm very much interested coz I love writing alot And that's what I enjoy doing.

I've created my freelancer account and was asked to take an English test, do you recommend it for me as a starter? I also applied for pioneer card and they sent me a mail asking me to scan and send my Into'l passport data page to them(NOTE: I used my Int'l passport data when applying coz I Don't have a National ID or voters' card)
thank you as I expect your reply. God bless you

Great Job Chidnho10, a journey of a thousand miles starts in a day. Well done! Yes, you need to take an English test. Most employer requests that freelancers take that exam before bidding on their job.

Trippledots:
ok.... ill do just that. are u on whatsapp?

No, i don't use it. You can get me on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/hephzy.wordsmith

Trippledots:
hahahahaa... na only m folo u come o.


actually I'm one of the early followers of this thread when u just birthed it. But i don't really have a long endurance for writing...once started a writeup for someone but couldn't finish it.....plus i was somewhere around kogi where i could not get enough signal to put a call through from my living room talk-less of to browse. but here and now in lag, its way better.

As soon as i heard you say research, you got me. I'm a very curious person and love to just check up things on Google. i could spend the whole day reading about 'Marylyn monroe' for instance. why? i dont even know why... lol


So if there is a way to do what i love doing and get money to pay for my next data subscription in the process....yay!!



So how do i start?

You start by opening up an account on freelancer.com, applying for your payoneer mastercard etc. I will put up a book on how to carry out research on my website today.

Trippledots:
i think i like that research thing alot..... how do i start?

@Trippledots, you follow me come here! Ok o. Research is what i enjoy most. Although it involves a lot of mental work. You need to think in order to solve a problem with the help of Google or any search engine. I love it so much because it helps me to increase my mental capabilities (intelligence) and also earn more within a short period of time. I have a book on it (will put it on my website today or tomorrow). I did a 4 hours job in the early hours of yesterday and got $96 in return. Not a bad investment of time. Did I know how to solve the problem? No. Have I solved such problem before? No. How did I do it? Research. Research is simple, but you need intelligence to be able to spot the right project, write the best proposal and complete the work successfully.

sexymoma:
Aww Thanks lots ladywriter.. Could you pls enlighten me more on this Milestone Stuff

Milestone is a system whereby the employer deposit the project fee - ( in %) to freelancer.com to be released into your account when you finish the project. This is to ensure that the employer does not run off with your work. You can read more about it on the help section on freelancer.

sexymoma:
And pls what does it mean to set hourly rate

Hourly rate is the price you will charge for working on a project for an hour. Set it at $10 for a start, but you can always reduce it when such occasion arises. All the best!

sexymoma:
here is the project description Project Description:

I want to post my classified advertisement in 125 free classified sites website

Site is related to Credit card
Ad should post with Title, Description, tags/keywords ( all details will be provided )
Complete report with Ad url is must

samplanner:
thanks ma, I just need a guide to writing ebooks that is my problem. if som1 can put me through I'll be very grateful bcs I'm a fast learner.

I wrote a book on it. Check it out here. http://alwaysontopbiz.com/product-page/

sexymoma:
Ladywriter.. I'm good in advertising and posting fields how can i write a proposal to them

First off, you will need to find jobs in relation to that. There are many companies looking to advertise their product online and need someone to do it for them. The proposal will depend on the project description. Look for jobs in that field and let me know if you see anyone you can handle, i will help you with the proposal writing part.

Trippledots:
you cry buckets at d slightest thang??

What nickname do you call your girlfriend?

samplanner:
thanks, I have beeen doing that for almost a month now. and it was the same employer that hire me the first who has retained me. he gives me like 10 articles to write within 24 hours and I willingly accepts. the problem is that we have been doing dis and d pay is still dsame, what baffles me is that sometimes I was the one that use to suggest topic for him. the gud tin abt him is dt he pays as soon as I demand for it. I'm worried about the pay rate bcs I'm stressing myself a lot.

Hi Sam, please tell him that you will like to review the price upwards between $6-10. Tell him the work is stressful and that things are expensive around you. NEPA and browsing bills are there. He will understand and wouldn't want to lose you. But Sam, if you can write 10 x 1000 words per day, you can write an e-book per day. Learn how to write e-book and earn more.

samplanner:
pls @Lady writer and other gurus. I want to know what I need to charge for writing articles of like 1000word for web content. one employer pays me $3 for this another pays me$2.5 for 1000 word articles. pls advic e me on dis bcs I feel I deserve a better pay. thanks.

Hi Sam, how long have you been doing that? It is not bad for a beginner (say 1-2 weeks). At least you can learn the ropes while writing it. But is too cheap if you have been doing it for sometime. You should scale up. Tell the employer you are scaling up your fees to $5-6, if he can't pay it, move. Learn more skills like e-book writing. Don't stay put writing articles for long. You can make much more from e-book. There are so many skills you can learn online. Please do it and move up, that way, you earn more with little effort. You can learn how to research using Google. With research jobs you can make $50 under 2-5 hours (depending on the scope and your skills). All the best!

Thank you very much. What other platform can one add to Freelancer

You can try Elance and Odesk. But all in all, I advise people not to stay long on these freelancing websites. They are launching pads, not a permanent office. I will advise you to learn other skills like research and e-book writing. That way you can make quick bucks and move on. You can write e-books and sell it on Amazon Kindle. It will give you a residual income on monthly basis ( I run a course on it). There are so many businesses you can do online. Take your time to learn all you can while writing articles, then move ahead to establish yourself.

Yes there is money but the problem is that people won't want to pay. I started last week after reading this page, I got my first job was paid by the employer. Now I have two jobs done worth $67 I have not been paid, although we set milestones but that does not help. Becos it's useless if the essence which is to make money is not happening

Please tell me what to do(pls don't tell me to forget the money), if we have set milestone how can I get the money without having to open dispute. Thank u

@favourume, I feel you. I have experienced this countless times. Most employers think setting milestones equals payment until you begin to remind them. Some disappear after collecting the job only to see notification from freelancer that you sent them a mail. Not to worry, the project will not close until the payment is made. Go to your project page and click on request milestone. A mail will be sent to them to release your milestone. Then continue to send them mail to release the payment. I do it all the time. Freelancing is like any other business. It is like demanding for your money from creditors. Be determined to succeed no matter the odds.

blym4real:
Getting writing jobs on odesk and freelance is not easy as painted here, especially for a newbie

I beg to disagree. It all depends on your skill(s) and the ability to write winning bids. @tooltip started less than 3 weeks ago and he has $300 already. It also depends on your mentality. If you believe it is not easy, it will not be easy. All you need is to be proactive. Look for jobs and place as many bids as you can on daily basis. Success is hardwork, it is NEVER easy. If it is, everyone will be successful today. So, go in there and start bidding!

Beautiful!

Oh no! You missed it. You did not click on the link i gave you. You went to the old thread in the literature section. The article is in business forum. Click on this link - https://www.nairaland.com/1833989/how-make-1000-month-writting/

WHO ASKED U

Are you jealous?

sylvalord:
nice pet names, i'm not muscular, but she calls me her superman

That is a good one. The wordweb dictionary defines superman as "A person with great powers and abilities". I am sure she noticed that in you.

mesoade:
All this points for a nickname?

Yes oh. Show some love to your girlfriend by calling her cute names.
