Cpolicy: @everybody, payoneer sent me a mail that they are reviewing my application but they later sent me another mail that i should send them a government issue id which i have none, but i have a print out giving to me when i went to do my national id card registration can i use that too.

Great, am glad you are taking actions. I am not sure if Payoneer will accept your print out copy, why not try and get the national ID card itself. It will work.

Hi, click on withdraw funds and then freelancer debit card - then you supply your payoneer card number.

Luvlydevin: ladywriter I just register today but my profile is still 24% complete hope I can start bidding, and also I have a laptop but not connected to the internet,can I use the laptop for typing and latter transfer to my phone for sending it to the internet

Hi @luvlydevin, you can still place your bid on projects. However, it will be convenient if you can get a small internet plan for your laptop rather than using your phone.

dcitizen1: @ ladywriter

I have registered as a member of freelancer and i have bided for some projects. I will like you to tell me how to add my payoneer master card details to my page. Thank you.

I am happy you are making progress. You will use it when you want to make withdrawals. Go to the finances menu, click on withdraw funds and choose payoneer as your payment method.

2sExy1: Ladywriter, do you have any idea about basic numeracy on freelancer?

You don't need a basic numeracy test. Just do freelancer orientation, US and UK English and any test relating to your skill (though not a must).

sccofield: hello @ladywriter and everybody finally made my first money from freelancer after about one week of registering. It was a contest though not on writing but on website design. I did it and my design was chosen as the best. Thanks you all for all the motivation. its this thread that made me registered and am really grateful. I Pray for more success for all of us.

HEYYYYYYYYYYYY, am happy for you! Congrats!

dcitizen1: @ ladywriter and xpression

Is it compulsory to upload ur real picture in the section of the update of profile ? How do members in the freelancer submit the jobs that they have done for their client? am anxiously awaiting your reply. Thanks in advance.

Hi, you can use your company logo if you don't want to use your personal picture. You submit completed jobs through the message box (inbox), it is structured like an email inbox with an attachment button for files.

TRADELYN: Many thanks!
I will see them later.

Dear Ladywriter,
This link would be helpful regarding "writing a business plan": http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/235054

Thank you so much. My problem is the calculation - figure aspect. How do you i plan a budget for five years?

TRADELYN: Dear ladywriter,

You have been a blessing to many on NL! Thus, you deserve more than this for FREE

We would guide you on how to write a business plan. How soon do you need it?

@TRADELYN, I am highly honoured. Thank you so much! Please expect a mail from me.

2sExy1: what's this all about? could give insight? does it have anything to do with writing keyword articles after using google planner?

No. Market research is the process of collecting valuable information to help investors/business owners find out if there is a market for their proposed product or service. It is written in form of a report with charts and graphs.

TRADELYN: No!

@ TRADELYN, let's do trade by barter now, teach me how to write a business plan and I teach you how to handle online Market researches. What abt that?

carpaints: anytime i want to bid,it will say take exam or update your profile or take freelancer orientation or confirm payment.
to confirm payment i want to use gtbank but i heard it does not work.
pls what is the way out?
or should i wait for payoneer card to arrive first(due to arrive 10-17sept)

Ok, some of the exams are free, check it out. It is only US and Uk that costs $5. Like I said earlier, look for jobs that doesn't require exams for now, until you get your Payoneer card. Make sure your profile is up to date. What is your username, let me check it out for you.

dmostcheerful: my hands are up ma.

Great my sister, I love ladies who venture into online business.

Ok, @sccofield, carpaints, dmostcheerful - give your freelancer usernames, let me check out your bidding styles and profile.

sccofield: @ladywriter my hands the up o.. Have been biding but have not gotten any work yet. need quick help o seems reviews really help in getting jobs here.

Ok, am glad you are making effort. Let me give you one or two bidding secrets. Offer to write a 100 word sample on the employer's topic for free. This way they can assess your writing style and grammar. Secondly, offer to send a written sample you already have. Try these tips and let me know!

ambrosini593: . Any time I try placing a bid as a newbie on my skill project or low bid project, they keep telling to take a test before bidding. Although I have not completed my profile kos is still showing 60% completion. What should I do? Thank you

Hi Ambrose, you will need to look for projects that doesn't have exam requirement for now, until you have enough money ($5) to write the exam.

TRADELYN: Yes

Have you written any Market research for online business before?

ambrosini593: . Am so grateful. I have gtb mastercard and first bank mastercard. But the first bank atm is my salary account. Since gtb atm cannot do the verification, can I risk my first bank atm?

You can try it out! But make sure you use your first free month o. Don't upgrade for now and if you must, choose the lowest membership plan, so that you can have enough time to learn.

HEY guys, let's get to work. If you have opened an account and started bidding for work, but nothing is coming in yet, can you please signify by RAISING UP YOUR HAND?

ambrosini593: If you register with your atm on freelancer, do you still need payoneer card? If yes, then what the need for using your atm for payment verification? Thank you

.

Yes, you need Payoneer to be able to withdraw your earnings. The payment verification stuff is for payment into your freelancer account. It can also be used for membership upgrades. But, you can delay the payment verification until you have your payoneer card. That way, you can use it to verify your payment and also receive your earnings. Blessings!

TRADELYN: Is this for real?

Well, what you need is a feasibility study.
Sadly, many do not know the difference between both. This is why I always take my time to explain both to my esteemed clients/prospects.

You need to give more details about the business you have in mind. If it's confidential, email details to tradelyn@gmail.com.

Regards!

@ TRADELYN, do you also write Market Research?

dcitizen1: Hi, what is the difference between www. freelancer.com and www.freelance.com?

They are both different. We are talking about www.freelancer.com here. It is an Australian business website.

sccofield: hello please i need your help I applied for the payowwner master card, then i was sent a mail that my application was blocked, even when i tried loggin in it told me account blocked error m404. please is the anytin i did wrong. what can i do to salvage the situation. Also is it advisable to integrate my normal visa card with freelancer? Also how do you win bids here

7 Tips for Writing an Effective Bid

With thousands of freelancers competing for jobs and perhaps a hundred or more bidding on the same job, how do you make your bid stand out from the rest? The fact is each employer is as different as each freelancer, so there really isn’t a “magic formula” that works for every bid. There are, however some important steps you can take to increase the chances that a prospective employer will consider your bid seriously. Here are ten simple tips for writing an effective bid:

1. Read the project description carefully. After all, if the employer doesn’t feel you understand the project, you’re not likely to win the bidding. Besides, many employers will ask for specific details that you need to be aware of. In fact, employers often include a phrase that must be included in your bid in order to have it considered. The bottom line is, you should always take the time to go through the description thoroughly.

2. If you have questions, use the Project Clarification Board before you bid. Winning a project without knowing exactly what you’re getting into isn’t a good situation for you or the service buyer.

3. Keep your bid clear, concise and to the point. Remember that the employer may have dozens or even hundreds of bids to consider. It’s very likely that every word of every bid isn’t going to be read. Bids with unnecessarily long descriptions may be skipped over completely. Don’t invite the employer to ignore your bid by making it too wordy.

5. Follow up with a private message. After you place your bid, use the private message board to provide more information. This is the appropriate place to add those less important details you avoided in your bid. After all, if your bid generated enough interest to get the employer this far, you’re halfway there. Now those details may make the difference.

6. Be competitive with your pricing. Note that this doesn't necessarily mean you need to be the lowest bidder. Bidding in a world-wide marketplace makes for tough competition, but if your work is truly above average, you may find that employers are willing to pay above average prices. On the other hand, if you’re relatively new to freelancing, you may need to establish a reputation first. A little common sense will go a long way here.

7. Last, but certainly not least, proofread your bid before you submit it. Is it written clearly? Are there misspellings? No matter what kind of project you’re bidding on, a poorly written proposal suggests a lack of interest and poor work habits. Neither of those is going to work in your favor.
