Pls i have a question. in case a project is awarded to someone on FL and one changes his mind and refuse to accept it, what will happen? will it be automatically awarded by FL? any negative effect of this on me? MANY THANKS. what should i do if am no longer interested in it?

No, there is no penalty for rejecting projects. It may reduce your points, but it doesn't have any negative effect. Once the project is awarded and you are not interested in it, don't click on accept, click on decline and that settles it. If you accept, you cannot cancel without the help of of the employer.

Godmother:
Im not finding it funny on FL o. $12 was deducted from my account yesterday. I did a job for one Roy guy He gave me a job for 32 articles and created milestones. Upon acceptance the money was deducted. I did the first 4 articles and submitted and the guy told me to make some improvements and make them formal. I did and hes yet to reply. He was online yesterday but refused to acknowledge my greetings.

Can I go ahead and request for the milestones?

Also this bidding thingy is not funny o.

@ Ladywriter
How does one create videos on fiverr

@Godmother, send me a mail.

Uhhh! Ask the employer if he is satisfied with the work or not and tell him you are ready to make adjustments. You have treat them like kings, otherwise your money will hang and you may get a negative review. Thread softly with him please. That is how FL is o, they will quickly remove their commission, they don't want to know what happens during the transaction. You will soon get used to it and by the time you start earning correct money, it wouldn't bother you again.

ude25:
Ladywriter please reply my mail, I have sent it since yesterday. Caption "i need ur help in freelancer ". Kindly respond.

Are you Alpha? I replied all the mails in my inbox. Can you resend the mail?

Did you create videos for your gigs?. You can create at least 7 gigs for a start. Be creative and create more gigs with videos and good tags that describes your gig.

Hi guys, we will continue from where we stopped yesterday. I will combine No. 2 and 3 together.

Bids - Tickets to winning projects
When you register as a new freelancer, you will be given a free account which carries 10 bids. Later on, you will need to upgrade to a membership level to get more bids. Here, I will teach you how to quickly maximize your free bids so you can win at least a project. If you are able to win a good project, you can use the money to upgrade to a membership plan and also write tests. If not, you may have to use your money to upgrade.

Maximising your bids
You need to look for small projects you can quickly write and get a review to establish your profile. Don't work for 'content mills'. These are people who will want you to work with them for a long time, with poor payment ($1 for 500 words) and they may not be willing to give you reviews as at when needed. So, here you will look for employers who have 1 - 5 articles to write (even if the payment is low). The competition is fierce though, but not to worry, one of my guys in my first thread taught us how to write winning bids. He said, he could sell eggs to chickens, and I did not believe it at first. I tested the proposal and it worked like a magic. We will use his sample proposal here.

Your goal here is to get little projects that can earn you reviews quickly. Reviews are employer's feed backs on projects. If you handle the project very well, you get positive review, which can assist you to get more projects. If you get negative review, it will not help your profile as no employer wants to hire someone who is not capable. Some of the reasons why employers give negative reviews are:

1. Inability to carry out the instructions of the employer
2. Lack of skill (i.e. you are not trained to handle such jobs)
3. Late submission etc.

It will do you good to avoid all the points listed above. Try as much as possible to please your employer, even if it means going out of your way.

So, this is not the time to play with your bids, keep it safe, it is a ticket to winning projects.

I will continue later in the day (if i am free). I've got to work now! You can ask your questions, I will try as much as possible to answer it. Be determined to succeed and you will!

femology:
@ladywriter, i register on payooner.com but dont know how to go about it, i need your help.

Once you register, you will wait for abt 15-20 days or so, for them to send the card to the address you provided.

femology:
@ladywriter, i register on payooner.com but dont know how to go about it, i need your help.

What is the problem?

tranxo:
Shebi you refused to take my advice. H.mmm. na u go tire.

Oh Oh, Tranxo, see me o. I just couldn't take it. Someone saying Nigerians are not nice. No. I had to defend my country now. But I promise not to reply negative comments again. It is eyes straight from now on!

trendygirl:
congrats Ladywriter I sent you an email last week but you didn't respond. kindly reply please. email addy starts with iyandru.....@gmail.com
thanks

I did that this morning. Are you not Rukayat? Ok, i will resend it again.

youdontknowme:
Lady, As much as u didn't want to comment on things written, felt I shouldn't say anything but this tho. Look Even when u post proofs of all sorts and try to redeem urself, haters would be haters. It's only normal. Just Ignore, it would do u a lot of good

Thanks. Hmmm! So true! I will set my eyes straight from now on.

cmecproblem:
so i can buy a car from freelancing too? hmmm i goto stop blowing my money on pleasures and start saving , congrats madam, i am thinking of more than a car now, i need to raise a building from my earnings,leeeeets go there

Thanks. Yes, you can even build houses and buy cars. You will get to a point where God will reward your efforts with big projects. That's all we need. You don't need lots of projects, pray for God to direct the right projects your way and before long, you will share your testimonies too. Keep working and keep saving. The future is bright for us!

mumbasa:
I was thinking? Nigerians are not nice people. If she was really making the kind of money on freelancer.com pr upwork.cpm she could use to buy cars she wouldn't tell anyone.

The money she plans to make is the money she would charge you for helping you open a Payoneer account. that is if she would genuinely do it because fake ones are every where. and again she is not the owner of that car.

I am trying hard not to get distracted, but I think I will answer you. Nigerians are good people with great hearts. You only need to meet the right people to be convinced. I have been working on Freelancer for 4 years now and just last year, i had the urge to help people get to where I am. I opened a thread and taught people how to make money on freelancer. https://www.nairaland.com/1833989/how-make-1000-month-writing That was my first thread. So far by the grace of God, I have trained over 100 people that thread alone and they are making money online today. I am financially comfortable by the grace of God and I don't need to proof anything to anyone.

The Payoneer account opening you are talking about is free and anyone can open an account on it. I don't help people to open accts. I am too busy for that.

You don't have to believe my story, only don't confuse people who are ready to learn here. The more I help people, the more God blesses and lifts me up. I am here to do it again and with God's backing, a lot of people here will be financially comfortable. Watch out for testimonies soon!

mercyland2015:
Thanks Ma. will downloading the freelancer.com app on laptop solve the problem of slow contact with the site?

The FL app is for phone use. I think the problem you are experience has to do with your computer speed and internet connection speed. I may not be too correct, but let's wait for other people's opinion on the issue.

fairheven:


Okay. I went for their(E-lance) training some months back but never got started. Will try FL at ur word. Thanks for sharing

Great. Just get in touch here if you need any help.

mercyland2015:
Good day to all. please i need your advice on FL site. it is too heavy and and wastes a significant number of megabytes. i use my laptop for this. am a bit discouraged having just registered and discovered this. pls do u also experience this? how can i navigate to the site easily and fastly or do i need any software? kindly help pls. thanks

You may need to increase the speed of your computer or use a fast speed internet connection. I use Glo, which is quite fast.

kheart:


Congrat for d car, I hope u ll not mind if I become ur student.(I m a fast learner). I need to know some of the key concept/areas I should be familiarize wit. Thanks

It is quite easy if you are hardworking, dedicated and committed. It requires a lot of hardwork and determination. I will encourage you to start by reading this thread first. You will glean from our experiences and learn from our mistakes.

Tried to create an account with both phone and laptop to no avail anybody with solution

Use a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Opera etc).

Why you will not make money on Freelancer

I want to help you guys further, so that you will avoid the huddles and struggles I had at the beginning of my career. I also noticed that a lot of new freelancers have the same problem. I will like to address it here. Some of the things that will not allow you to make money are:
1. Your profile set up /description
2. Number of bids
3. Quality of bids
4. Level of expertise. Etc.

Let's start with the first one;

Profile Set up / Description
This is a very important aspect of your freelancer account. This is where you can market your skills and let employers know what you can do. Most employers read the profile description to know who you are before they hire you. If you are able to create an attention grabbing profile, your chances of winning projects will greatly increase.

Basically, your profile description should contain:
1. Your full name at the top
2. The skill you want to market on FL. e.g. Mine is written as Writer, Internet and Market Researcher. It covers all kinds of writing and research.
3. Introduce yourself - who are you? What is the name of your company (if you have one), mention your skills and provide a brief history of your journey in your career.
4. Bring out each of your skill and explain your level of expertise in a paragraph. For example, I wrote this paragraph on my E-book and Report skill, I wrote:

We write high quality, copyscape passed, well researched e-books for individuals and corporate organizations. We are also skilled in creating Bible study manuals and guides. We transcribe videos into e-books and also format e-books for Amazon Kindle platform.


Now, you know how to write a good profile description, log into your freelancer account and write a powerful description.

Tomorrow, I will continue with the rest of the points.

fairheven:


Hi lady writer ,do u know about E-lance

I tried it, but it did not work for me. I have an account there, and I placed my bid on some projects, but was not successful, so I stopped it. I am on FL and Fiverr.

aysax:
@ladywriter pls can u take me on one on one training on freelancer reply me through my mail ayodejiboyejo@gmailcom

Check your mail.

eripecs:

Congrats o. I won't mind a ride with you though! More blessings IJN.

Thank you so much. I am waiting for your own testimony o. I want to see you investing in online businesses, building houses and buying cars. This is my wish for everyone of us. God will bless our hardwork online.

Bennyzino:

Great! Don't hesitate to ask questions on the thread. We are here to help each other succeed.

Bennyzino:

I don't know where to fit in.
can you help me

Ok, can you read the posts here - https://www.nairaland.com/1833989/how-make-1000-month-writing. You will get more clarity from people's experiences on the website.

tranxo:
You stand the risk of splitting the original thread with this one. Though I don't know your intention for this thread, but I think it is better all questions are dealt with under one roof - the original thread.

Thanks Oga mi. The real purpose of the thread is to create more awareness and direct more people to the original thread. There are lots of people on the forum who have not heard anything about how to make money on freelancer.com, especially graduates who are looking for jobs in this job section.

Bennyzino:


I registered some way back but lost interset.

pls I need friends like you in my life.

chat me up on benz3n@gmail.com

thanks

What happened? I guess you were not patient enough. If you have any question(s), post it here - https://www.nairaland.com/1833989/how-make-1000-month-writing and I will try to help you out.

eleko1:
Congrats! I like hard working lady like U.Pls,Snap with ur ride and upload it here to shame the doubting Sakiru like me.

, I have the pics, but i don't like filling the whole place with it. I wrote the post to encourage more people to work online, not to be known or to be popular. I don't like the spotlight. I just want to help people and move on with my business.

ITbomb:
Freelancers and fiverr which one is better

Hmmm! My brother, both are good. But I prefer freelancer, because they charge less commission on projects - 5%-10% while that of Fiverr is 20%. You can charge more money on projects on FL, while on Fiverr, though you can still charge more, but guys there are accustomed to $5 mentality. With Fiverr, you don't have to bid, once you set your profile in place, all you need is wait for jobs to come, while there are competitions on FL and you have to bid to win a project. etc etc etc. But the thing is, you can have accounts on the two websites. I have an account on Fiverr too.

ude25:

afrokid:
This is the kind of thread that should be making front page but the mods prefer us seeing one miserable lady who accused Timaya of raping her in US as if that will be of use to us.

Anyway, congrats ladywriter. This is just the beginning.

Thank you. Honestly, I hope it makes front page. I want to help as many people as I can. Lots of graduate everywhere with no employment in sight. Anyone can easily make money on FL without any investment.

UnknownT:
They pay in dollars? Wow, I will try out the site this one Dollars is flogging Naira mercilessly, I need to get some too

Yes o. That is why i want to encourage more people to work online. We will tell the world that Nigerians are intelligent and hardworking.

MANGAM:
Ladywriter, good to meet again. Hw is Ghana?

Ghana is cool o. But I miss Nigeria so much. Hope to visit soon.
