I just created my payooner account and linked it to my Fiverr account. If I transfer the funds today, will I be able to sell? I don't have a payoneer master card yet.

if this is your first time, then payoneer will deduct $29.99 yearly fee. Secondly, for you to make your first transaction, you must have received at least $200. So if you first withdrawal to payoneer is not up to $200, you won't be able to transfer your fund.

Sounds like upwork is a better option. Especially as people need an e-book to succeed in fiverr. Nobody is willing to teach anyone for free.

Funny how all of them refer people to the same e-book

No one has referred you to any eBook. Some of these newbies do not know the standard and level of professionalism and dedication needed to succeed on fiverr. Take for instance, I joined fiverr February 2017, got my first order 3 months later. But from May 2017 till now, I have made $8050 from fiverr.

But I was patient for 3 months, something those going into fiverr now will find very difficult to do. There is a Fiverr thread on business section created by beatzone, read from page 1-10 and you would be well equipped to start. No one will have the time to coach you free of charge. Those coaching you for money does not earn much on fiverr. I can't promise you a personal coaching because I do not have the time.

Upwork is better, if you know your onions

https://www.nairaland.com/2594236/elance.com-upwork.com-other-freelancing-site/22
Upwork has premium clients and you rarely see$5-10 jobs.
The marketplace is for mainly premium clients who want the best.
I know of someone who made 2200 in his very first week as an upworker. Something fiverr will never give you..
Starting as a newbie isn't easy at all, because your proposals tends to be overlooked too many times.
But crafting an eye catching proposal does the trick as the client will be impressed and will want to know who's this guy that penned down such an interesting proposal.
You're allowed to submit 30 proposals monthly, and you just have to make it count...
Happy upworking!

Wow. Thank you bro.
I was even thinking fiverr is better, not knowing upwork is where I should be then.

bkuranga:
Depends on what work for u... Upwork everyday.

I was thinking fiverr is better.

All roads leads to upwork now

Joey150, I don't also visit buyers request on fiverr. In fact, with 10 completed orders on fiverr, I can be sure of over $1000. My minimum price is $40. But then, opinions have shown that Upwork is much better than fiverr. I am comfortable on fiverr because I get to reject works. Yesterday alone, I rejected 3 orders and rejected 2 orders today. My gig is on front page of my niche. This implies that the account is doing well anyway.

Now my point is that I need more, I need to diversify and I have heard much about Upwork. Fiverr can do anything any time, so it is bad to completely depend on them.

markbenny:
what restrictions on registration?


the bidding system makes the offers competitive. you also have to submit a proposal while bidding and the poster of the job goes through all proposals before picking the right person for the job


as a newbie, you can start getting jobs of up to $100 depending on how well your Profile is set up. you also hardly find $5 jobs.


the job opportunities are more on upwork etc

This is impressive. Thanks. But can I register as a Nigerian? I heard they do several verification.


More opinions?

umaryusuf:
I also need trusted fiverr exchanger, kindly point me to anyone....

Payoneer isn't friendly for a beginner who is withdrawing for the first time. First you loss $30 for their annual fee, you can't withdraw till a minimum amount is met... etc

You will end up paying same to exchangers.

markbenny:
Upwork is better and more profitable. it's more flexible and more user friendly

Wow, this is nice. How flexible can it be when there is restriction on registration and people would have to bid for a job


Brightgem, I sincerely appreciate the fact you have tried fiverr, please don't give up. I currently earn on average $1000 on fiverr using a Nigerian account.

The thing about fiverr is that, they are filled with broke buyers who wants haven for a price of hell. I just need to expand, hence the reason I want to join upwork. There is nothing bad if I start making $3000/month. That's the joy of hustling.

I need opinions on this, I plan to join Upwork but would want to know if combining it with fiverr will be a heavy workload considering the fact that I am working.

Vivly:
No Fiverr

Why not open a Payoneer account. PayPal exchange rate is low. 320/$

Johncrown80:
I have funds...let's roll if you're legit

Payoneer?

Vivly:
I need an exchanger please.

Payoneer?

Premiumwriter:
great.
By the way I'm hoping to try the platform later. Hope I'll succeed?

sure, you will succeed

DerrickM:
I feel you,man. It doesn't work always in all niches though. For illustration or graphic design showing former works is okay or the buyer looks at the delivered work previously to save one the stress.

I understand. Graphics niche is quite different. Unlike writing niche. Some of these clients wants to publish books on Kindle, so they write on different areas.

Premiumwriter:
then how do you share samples of your previous works

I don't give any samples. If the reviews isn't convincing, then s/he should go elsewhere. I don't beg them bro. Whatever I see, I take.

In writing niche, you don't send samples as you may end up dashing a stranger a book which has been paid for.

Ginseng:
Well, don't know for you, but I do send my previous works as samples... Or you can create a simple blog with your previous works on it. When clients ask for a sample, you give them the URL of the site to them.

This is wrong. Imagine you finished writing a book for a client and the client is much busy and have no time to publish it. Then, within some weeks, a client comes asking for samples and you gave your previous works to him. If he is smart, he will just check it on Grammarly, if it turns out original, nothing stops him from using it. It may backfire some day and the original owner will report to fiverr that you sold same work to different people. This is the reason clients ask for copyright page. This denies you the right to use or share the content delivered to them with a third party.


Secondly, in writing niche, sending URL to clients is not accepted. People do it though but it's wrong. Fiverr sees it as you trying to connect with clients outside fiverr.

Well, if it works for you, ride one. As for me, I don't do it

Ginseng:
As a freelancer working as a scriptwriter, you ought to have some of your previous works as samples... Try and check your archive.

I don't give samples. How can I send people's work to a stranger who you are not sure is ready to deal.

Immediately a client asks me for samples, I just walk away

ThePost:
Ngwa, adopt me as your son na

Boss, stop mocking your boys. We know who you are and we are loyal to the big whales on fiverr.

favourbaby:
Chairman how are we going to celebrate this exploit on Fiverr?

When big boys here are making $2k/month. We just bless God for what He gave us.

favourbaby:
No my chairman I'm still taking my time.
You know once beaten twice shy!
I won't fall for any scammer again sir.

When Dilama was smooth talking here and there, i would have fallen for him too. But, the moment he said he would not exchange beyond $400, i was taken aback because i have a little more than that.

Lol. Nah you be boss. You know what? Why not use this moment to create a payoneer account.

bemagnify:
Kul bro.. Is ur account a Nigerian acct

I have been on Nigerian account since October 2017

March ended well though lower than February. The hustle continues

favourbaby:
Honestly I cannot fathom what went wrong.

That guy does not look as a scammer to me one bit.

He left so much about him on the outside that he could always be traced and fished out. But his attitude and nonchalance towards you guys are steadily proving me wrong.

This guy sounded so nice and friendly via my WhatsApp messages with him. Were it not God, i would have been in another state of mind. That same day he was to exchange funds for you guys, i was already in the queue with you, what destabilized everything was when he requested for my payoneer or PayPal email i told him i have none that i was making the first withdrawal. He directed me on what to do but hinted that it would take 24 hours for Fiverr to respond to me. I guess that was where he dropped me and went along with you guys.
That was how God saved me. Imagine having stories on your first withdrawals; it would be a very bad omen!

I pray he changes his mind and pay you guys, making a dime now online isn't so easy.

Have you used the people I sent to you? Don't fall for these scammers.

dablazor:
No, it's actually cheaper than Dusupay.

You didn't check well

dablazor:
I think I mistakenly chose Ping Express

They will be faster because they charge higher

dablazor:
I want to try the option again, Mrphysics. Did you use Dusupay or Ping Express?

Dusupay

After waiting 14 days for earnings to get cleared, you will still have to wait for 2-3 days to cash out from exchangers?

Sendvalu has so many people complaining because it takes time to process transactions so they are trying to speed things up. One way of transacting is promise of instant payment. Once money leaves my account and enters yours, I would need the equivalent immediately. Bank rates is bad, nothing is as sweet as using Payoneer ATM.

favourbaby:
Good morning sir, thank you for your advice.

As a master who do you recommend as trusted exchanger(s)?
I know what obtains in the exchange world presently, I won't give any exchanger the luxury of opportunity to rip me off all because I'm a newbie on Fiverr trying to make the first withdrawal.

Dr. Law +254773729203, Elogic 07034734854, Tosinjay 08060200027

These three guys are good and with good rates. When I was using exchangers, I run to them. Kindly send them a whatsapp and see which of them does PayPal exchange.

Again, I am not a master bro. We are same fiverr sellers. Goodluck

its unfortunate that you guys are talking this way kindly ask them both what i told them am not here to scam no one i am also a freelancer on fiverr, and i also give people at best rate.....please i won't like any one spoiling my reputation here. the people that traded with me can testify i paid them instantly but unforeseen circumstances came up and that's the reason for the delay...am very sure once i sent them their funds...this guys that used their finger to type this about me will also be the ones to vouch for me later.

You See the problem. I have a verified US PayPal account, I also have up to 2m to make transactions, but I don't want to go into exchange business because it takes a lot.

For instance, anything can happen to my PayPal account, it may get suspended, closed, or blocked because whenever I want to use it, I must be on VPN. If I collect people's money and it's on hold, those people will require that I credit then immediately even when the money isn't useful in the account that received it. It's risk and that is what exchange business is about.

For you to go into it, you must have money, at least 1m to credit your customers. You can't subject them to your fiverr clearance period or waiting for a particular period of time.

I can go into this business but due to these name calling which they may be right is what I don't want. I don't want to be called a scam because I know what people go through to earn that money

Hello friends, I want to make my first withdrawal on Fiverr as a newbie. I have neither PayPal nor payoneer.

How do I add PayPal email to be able to withdraw, I am very confuse on how to locate the PayPal stuff.

I feel pained when I see Youths trying to make a living being scammed by these guys on nairaland. The trusted exchangers take advantage of it to buy at a very low rate.

I would advise you to open a payoneer account. There is nothing more than that. I also opened a US verified PayPal account but then, I haven't used it on fiverr and don't even know how to go about using it.
