Buy a land NOW only if it's a GOOD deal.
Buy a land only if you don't need the money in the next 5 years.

Pack out of your parent's house only if it will help you to make more money.

If your money is not consistent, stay back with your parents, grow the money to 3m at least, start a business. You can move out of your parent's house to start your business.

If you are a salaried worker, check your job security, career growth. If they are favorable, move out.

Yes, for fresh applications. It has been on and off .I ve to be awake all night trying!

I hope it's resolved soon o.

I need advice. I have decided to go with Honda Civic 2008 (American spec) as my first car.

I don't know the first thing about cars, but I just like the build and beauty of the civic. I just want to know if it's a troublesome car, what are the things to look out for (I plan to buy a Nigerian used)

This is my first time of using an iPhone. Anytime I want to update my OS it says "update requested"

Hi guys, Is Mtn having technical issues? I can't browse.

same here o. They said they are aware and are working on it

Jobeleagu:
because I need money urgently to take care of some things...

where in awka are you?

Why is it so cheap?

Abeg. People sending me PM should stop. Any thing you want to ask me privately can be asked here. We are not exactly doing something top secret here, are we? So ask away, but here.

But that's not even the reason why. If you ask your question here, the next person would read and learn instead of sending me a PM. Now, you don't want me to leave my Fiverr work and be answering PM upandan. Check am na, e no bam.

Now, if you think your matter deserves a private audience, by all means, hint at it here before sending me a PM.

Moving forward, I just replied a client and decided to post it here. One thing you should learn about discussing with your clients is answering their objections.

I am not saying this is the best way to reply to this client, but don't send generic looking replies either.

You can Google "Answering Objections."

PremzY002:
pls, drop the link to your profile .

we don't do that here.

And there's a lot of reasons for that (like a lot), but I will cut through the reasons and go straight to the lesson of the day.

Study other people's gig (you might even get to see mine while at it). Like... whip out a pen and a paper and do it like you are right there in the classroom staring at the teacher teach. Spend time on that shi*

I just checked my Fiverr dashboard and found that I have written no less than a good number of emails in the last 2 years, but do you know what I still do? I still hop unto Fiverr and study people's gig —you'd be surprised at what you are going to see, learn.

Now, let me bite a little and show you the reason why I won't drop my profile. And it's only because when you see something good, you'd want to steal it. It happens all the time; In the exam hall, when a Rolls-Royce rolls by, the new iPhone, a beautiful girl.

Now, the problem with this is that, you are not the only one who wants a slice of that good thing, there's a whole lot of other people and before you know it, they're all taking it bits by bits until there's nothing left.

But that's not the craziest thing even. The craziest bit is that Fiverr frowns at it. So your best bet is not to look for specificity but to hop unto Fiverr and study the vast majority of gigs available at your disposal (tip, you can even be able to see my gig sef), don't copy them like it's an assignment. Study them, and get original ideas on how to write yours.

So I studied a few gigs this morning and this one stuck out like a sore thumb —Premium stuff.

Got my first ever job on Upwork, $40

This is surely a starting point. I'm happy

Thanks Venzal, cutezt, Meklex

congratulations bro. The first one is the hardest

Touchypro:
Boss is TACT an initial to something else,


PS who knows the page Venzal talked about PASSO I need the meaning back.

tact is an English word

shotanny:
Good afternoon bro, I was the one that pmed you...
Please I am having issues with getting orders, I have opened a fiverr account for some weeks now but no orders yet...I also send offers on buyer's request...but still no orders...pls can you give me tips on what to do.

You can buy reviews, promote on social media etc. I don't do those and can't say anything about it. Whenever I stop getting orders, I just focus on my other businesses until it comes aroun‌‌d

Amhappy:
‘Willing stay’ is that the tact.

"I don't like going to church very much".

"Hate" is a strong word/language and not politically correct.

A die-hard church fan might find me using, "I hate going to church all the time" offensive.

So always use politically correct words/sentences unless all your target audience hate going to church.

jonextee:
What a powerful sample you gave out here!!

GBU..

However, I have a question.

What is this TACT? I tried to comprehend it from both your sample n ur explanation but just couldn't.

So pls can u define this TACT and how it is used in sample u gave?

Tact simply means skill and sensitivity in dealing with other people.

Do you know why you prefer a particular speaker more than the other? It's simply tact.

The popular "I have a dream" speech by Martin Luther is not famous because he is the first person who said what he said in that speech. It was famous because of his delivery. He had the skill and the sensitivity.

Same with Obama. Same with my old Parish Priest (I don't like going to church very much, but I can willingly stay extra time whenever this reverend father is preaching).

NOTE: I used tact in the sentence in the bracket. Can you point it out?

With tact, you can say anything you want to say and have people clap for you even if you are speaking against them.

So for you to write an email, you must first of all have the skill and sensitivity to understand who you are writing to, what tickles them and use it.

"The point is, as a producer, there are two things you take seriously: making awesome beats and getting them heard by the right people."

Of course, every producer takes the above seriously and that's you being sensitivity to their needs. Now skill comes in in how you use it, how you say/write it.

Now, I could say, "I know you love making awesome beats and getting the right people to hear them", it's engaging —but not enough.

Tact makes a copy awesome. It makes it lose blandness.

Sometimes I spend hours researching on the best way to say a line I want to use in an email. I normally do this for the first few paragraphs.

PS: There are many other lines in the email sample I gave earlier that employed tact in their execution, you could point them out.

If you employ tact in your email copy, your clients will not only accept your work, they will also do this.

Good afternoon everyone, please am I safe to deal with Babaisaac?

what did he do to you that you want to deal with him?

You can still make peace instead of dealing with him. Stay safe

Olawrites:
Nice one

I have a question; for some of us that have a full-time job somewhere, how are we going to cope when the order starts coming.

Any suggestion?

I started when I was serving. I go to my PPA every day.

I now run a brick and mortar business which I run every day.

My point is, if it's important to you to you, you will automatically create time for it —at least that's what I do.

Afterthought: in Venzal's last video, he told a client he can't do more than 7 emails in a week. Find out what works for you; increase your turnaround time, create a framework for the email you are writing so it will be easier. Lastly, you can outsource. Whenever I get more than 6 to 10 emails in queue, I outsource.

Meklex:
I see a lot of people rushing to create their Upwork profile. Creating a profile is secondary —you need to learn how to write first else you will get frustrated.

You need to practice as much as you read/study. That's the only way to learn effectively; learn and practice.

With the permission of Venzal, I can drop some of my old clients' requirements (one requirement per week) and you can attempt it.

This is my earning so far this month. I have people (Nigerians) I write salescopies and ad copies for at 20,000 naira for 500 — 1000 words. That is to tell you that your target audience are not only limited to oyibo people.

You only need to learn and practice.

Even me still dey learn, that's why I always come here every day.

While I wait for venzal to reply, here's what I do before/after a client places an order —I ask for 3 things:

1. Website/competitors website

2. Target audience

3. Email objectives.

These 3 things are all I need to write an email. Also, you need to ask for any additional information from your client such as his ideas, major pain points etc.

My research process is the only tedious part. I will visit clients' website, then visit the competitors website and other related websites.

Then I always use this keyword on Google; "why you need to use 'client's product' ". With this keyword you will get lots of information on Google about the clients' product/service.

Then, I normally write my emails following this blueprint; Problem, Solution, CTA.

I always employ TACT while writing especially the first paragraph. In fact, the first paragraph is the most important part of any email I am writing because it sets the course for the rest of the email; and if you get it wrong, chances are you will get the rest of the copy wrong.

MODIFIED

Let's go back to TACT. If you understand this, you have understood almost enough to write email copies your clients will love.

Here's the truth; everything that can be said has already been said. There's nothing new under the sun, so there's literally nothing new you can say in an email.

However, you have an ALMOST unlimited power on HOW to say it —and that's where tact comes in. Always wear your target audience's shoe; find the most common problem they face and dramatize it. It always gets their attention.

To give a face to what I just said, here's an email I wrote for a client who wants to sell email lists of recording artistes, studios, etc to music producers.

There are infinite ways to say this same thing - find the most engaging way to say it
