Family / Have You Been Betrayed Before? by memyselfandI: 10:36am On Apr 13, 2016
Good morning all, I am typing this with tears in my eyes. I have just been betrayed by someone I took as a friend. The person betrayed me for selfish reasons and personal gain.

You know when you pour out your challenges, and someone pretends to lend you a listening ear, only for that same person to go behind and give you a deadly stab. A COMPLETE betrayal of trust, one you never expected, no, one you didn't believe can happen.

It's not as if I completely trusted this person. I had my doubts, but I wanted to give this individual the benefit of doubt. All I can say is "I have learnt my lesson". I shall rise above this predicament. I shall survive this brutal betrayal.

Sorry for my rant, back to the question: Have you ever been betrayed before? How did you cope?

You have to check the email account you used when opening your Nairaland account. If it isn't in your inbox, then check your spam or junk. It should be in any of them.

@Neduzze5, I have checked my email. I still cant find it. Thanks for your prompt reply.

I want to thank all the applicants for their efforts. While I was impressed with everybody's prose, I am afraid that I cannot train more than 2 people. Here are the people whom I would be very pleased to train: MULLAH, GEOFAVOR, AND MEMYSELFANDIMEMYSELFANDI. I intend to drop one of the chosen candidate who doesn't show any sign of commitment after 1 week. For those whom I did not select, I wish you the best in your endeavors, and I would advise you to seek for professional training from other editors.

Dear successful learners

I am writing this brief note to notify you that i shall contact you on April 1, 2016 for the commencement of the training. Thank you

Regards

Topsquino

I will contact those of you who has been sending me PM tomorrow. Bye for now

@Topsquino, Wow! Thank you for accepting to train me. I promise to be a good student. I can't wait to be groomed by you.

Dear all,

I happen to be among the few highly rated proofreaders/copyeditors on freelancer, and I intend to teach anybody (just two persons, perhaps a boy and a girl) everything about copyediting for free. Please if you are not a voracious reader or if you are not ready to be a wordsmith, this training is not meant for you. Also, this training is meant for only the GREENHORN. Again, I am not interested in any fee. If you are interested, kindly write a 300-word article on "why I should train you" HERE (ON THIS THREAD). If I am convinced about your proposal, I will send you a PM. Let me quickly point this out, proofreading and editing pays more than any type of writing on freelancer (don't know about other freelancing sites) and it is less stressful. So, if you want to earn more than $1000 per month on freelancer, I think you need to hone this skill. By the way, I ALSO NEED ABOUT TWO PROOFREADERS/ COPYEDITORS WHOM I CAN OUSTOURCE MY WORK TO . Please if you are not proficient in this skill (it's beyond knowing how to speak the English language), please don't bother to contact me. If you are interested, kindly send me a PM.

Regards


Topsquino


Hello @Topsquino,

WHY YOU SHOULD TRAIN ME

First of all, I must say that you are Godsent. This offer of yours came at the right time and I am ready to grab it. I have been looking out for tutorials online to learn professional proofreading and editing. I have since then been searching for a mentor in this field. Please would you be so kind to mentor me on these skills? I am willing to learn under your tutelage.

I am a greenhorn and I believe you should train me because I have a great passion for proofreading. I am a very fast learner and I can easily grasp a concept when explained to me. I love to read and I am a voracious reader. I possess some qualities of a proofreader and I hope to acquire more after your tutelage. I have an eye for detail and can easily spot errors and irregularities in a write_up. As I said earlier on, I am a voracious reader and I can devour novels, books e.t.c. very fast with good comprehension of the material. Even with my limited knowledge, I sometimes spot spelling errors or omissions in the novels or books I read. I believe with sound training from a professional mentor like you I will do better.

I am very fluent in English language, both written and oral. I believe this will help me to become a professional proofreader and copyeditor with proper training from a professional like you. I am new to freelancing and I believe with these skills I would contribute my own quota to the freelancing world. I hope to render professional services to my potential clients but I cannot do this if I have not been professionally mentored. I promise to be a good student if you choose to mentor me. I am a girl and I anticipate your consideration. I look forward to learning from you.

Thank you.

MemyselfandI said "when is the best time to bid for jobs on upwork?"
For Upwork, there's no "best time" I do advice to bid from 12pm to say 4pm, then 7pm till dawn, you see there's really no best time.

MemyselfandI said "Do I have to open my own Paypal account even though I want to use the services of nairaland exchangers?"
Why use Nairaland exchangers when you already have a Paypal account? Now what type of Paypal are we even talking about here? if it's Nigeria Paypal, forget it, instead get a payooneer Mastercard, or better still stick to a Nairaland exchanger.

MemyselfandI said "When a job is in progress and 'funded' is written beside the amount agreed by you and the client, what does it mean?"
It simply means that the client has funded the job on escrow, that's the money for the job is held by Upwork and will be released when you have satisfied the client's needs and have requested approval, then will the client approve the fund to you.

MemyselfandI said "Must I start at entry level?"
No, Unless you are not an expert in such field, but come to think of it why will a freelancer start at entry level when the client will always select a highlevel freelancers for a job, all the freelancer need to do is just to reduce his/her price quote. My dear, I'll advice that you only focus on a skill you are an expert in. I started at "Expert" with $60/hr. It's all about what you can offer differently at higher quality. The funny thing is that you can be an expert and bid in an entry level jobs, I hope you see my point?

MemyselfandI said "I have seen jobs that I can comfortably execute in the intermediate level, what do I do?"
Change to intermediate Level and bid, you're not there to look, you're there to make money for yourself. If you're super sure of your skill(s) then the sky is your starting point.

I know this will help, or should I say "I hope it helps?"

Shalom!

@victor101, thanks, it sure did help. That means I was looking at money passing me by when I could have grabbed it! I have been on Entry level for 2 weeks and succeeded in winning two jobs to the tune of $45(the money is yet to be approved but they are funded). Thanks for your advice, I am going to immediately port to another level. Believe me when I say I am sure of my skills.

Hello Upworkers, I am a newbie. Please, when is the best time to bid for jobs on upwork? Do I have to open my own paypal account even though I want to use the services of nairaland exchangers?

Yes I couldn't withdraw cause I didn't know that Nigerian Paypal does not accept money. Then when I finally withdrew through a friend's Paypal (which she was reluctant to release).

Yes cajastudios.com is easy, I just signed up and started writing. Although they now have a grammar test, but last year they didn't.

@Omobolanle1977, cajastudios grammar test no be here oh. I attempted it and scored 45percent. The pass mark is 50 percent. The questions were too rigid. It was not like the tests in other freelance sites. Naija too dey overdo joor.

omobolanle1977:
Thanks for your post. I registered with Zemandi early this year and wrote for them for about a week. When I tried to withdraw my funds, I was told that my Paypal account could not receive any money. It wasn't until last month that I finally found someone who could help me withdraw the money with a foreign Paypal account. So before you start writing, know that Nigerian Paypal accounts don't receive money oo
I have been writing for cajastudios.com for 2 months now; I do about 5-8 articles a day but hoping to increase it. The pay is not so fantastic, but it's steady money if you are a student and can speak English you can make between 20-30k monthly.

Please, are there any other sites that Nigerians can write and receive money here in our bank accounts?

Please @ Omobolanle, was it because you couldn't withdraw your money that you stopped writing for Zemandi?

What if you follow OP's recommended means of transfer? Or is there a hidden agenda in Zemandi?

Please could you tell me more about cajastudio? I am interested.
Thanks in anticipation.

I personally know how boring staying at home idle can be and that's why I want to invite you to this wonderful site where all you have to do is write articles and get paid. The best part of it is that its absolutely free to register and you don't have to be a professional writer to join.

Other pros include but not limited to;

1. It is very flexible as you choose when to make a request for an assignment and the type of assignment you want.
2. Payment is $2.25 a 450 word article but is also higher for a higher word count and the time allocated for its submission is 8 hours which I can say is fair.
3. You have the freedom to reject any assignment that you find to difficult or complicated and immediately request for another

I wish to introduce you to Zemandi at www.zemandi.com. PleaExse register and start writing today and you will be glad you did. The invitation code to be used is 22012.

Finally they pay their writers through paypal and for now I can recommend using Prime-Link Global Communications(contact-solbash1@gmail.com) as they can help with the transfer and pay into your local bank account.

If you have any further questions or inquiry please feel free to ask.

Please @ kubi, what type of articles are written?
Must one be online always?
When Zemandi pays, what percentages would go to the outfit you recommended?

Thanks in anticipation.

@Beryl15, what causes this umbilical hernia? I have also noticed that more babies these days have protruding navels. Could it be as a result of the after care of the navel when the cord falls off?

That is always the problem, neighbors and external influences always drumming it into their heads that they are being maltreated and overworked.


It all depend on the angle we look at things. I don't see myself preparing my younger kids for school or church if my 12y and 14 yrs daughters are around but I don't trust my helper to do that because she has a different orientation though a month older than my 12yrs old daughter.

I expect my 12yrs old daughter to clean the dishes and sweep. Kini big deal but send the little girl with you and people will scream blue murder.

I used to wake up my 12yrs old daughter to prepare her younger ones for school & she was resisting. I was surprised to see her set alarm when my 14yrs went to school before her. But sending my helper will bring issues here.

My former helper used to wash clothes but I can't send my little helper to do that but limited her to sweeping and cleaning the dishes and she finds them challenging.

I Went to visit my younger brother and family the other day, I met him cooking as well as feeding his son. The wife was away and the maid was washing. My aburo will wash beans for moi moi within 30mins & it's not a big deal for him. If you see him carrying a baby on his back, you will marvel.

Those are things we learnt growing up with our elder brother and neighbours told us we were being maltreated

[quote author=Adeyeyeaki post=30889183]30k? pretty small but you can start selling and not printing.first thing to know is the buyer. selling it one by one brings higher profit but it takes time. Supplying the retailer brings small money by its turn over is high.
I started this bisness a year ago just as a supporting income. first, printing but when I discover no gain I switched to buying and selling. when the awareness reached climax, my capital was too small cos I only buy 100 naira and 200 naira cards alone. I borrow some money from co operative and just in december, my capital rose from 50k to 1.2m and to be sincere, the profit is about 30k per month. since its just an additional income, I dont really care. That of online stuff, am also into it but its not as fast as this. its same like selling it as a retailer. the only beauty of it is that people will remeber you whenever they are stranded. mind you, you sell in credit more!
