How Did You Get Your First Remote Job? by motivate555: 10:09am On May 12, 2021 |
It is no doubt that the way to survive this economy is by getting foreign jobs in which you work remotely and you are paid in foreign currency as well. If you have ever gotten a remote job, help others identify what the need to do better by answering the following questions. 1. What skill got you your remote job? 2. Where did you find the remote job? 3. What is your pay range? 4. What is the experience like working a foreign remote job? Please any useful information that will be beneficial to others. 22 Likes 1 Share |

1) Product Design 2) There are tons of remote job websites for Designers and Engineers online, In my case though, I stumbled on the company while surfing one time and applied. 3) 40k to 50k$ (Annual base salary) 4) I can't say all remote jobs are great, different companies and different experiences.. but some perks so far for me are flexibility, paid compulsory vacations, work at your own time, no micro management, good work is rewarded ... and most importantly being able to work from home on my bed is just amazing Ps: (get a home office workspace set up though, helps you be more productive) 92 Likes 3 Shares |

The very first was on Upwork. I was fortunate in that I had skills and proof of it. Also, I got started before Upwork became so saturated. However it was only the first. I never liked the model of competition and don't use it much now. My other remote experiences have come from knowing the major operators in the industry and approaching them directly. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

Memories. Mine was way back 2019. I think around August/September, I got a gig with a US company, working as a transcriber. 1. Transcriber. 2. A friend gave me the connect. 3. Around $300 per month. 4. I enjoy the work flexibility that the gig provide, as I can work whenever and wherever i want. But there are peak hours(8pm -5am) though, when audios files are in infinite flow. Working remotely is one of the best feeling ever. I mean, the flexibility, liberty to work at your own convenience, earning in hard currencies etc. You don't have to subject yourself to the many hassles, inconvenience and frustrations that are accompanied with onsite jobs. Remote job is bae I Love Krabby Patty.. 54 Likes 4 Shares |

Mine wasn't too long ago. They called me and made me an offer. The first time they called, the job wasn't remote and I wasn't interested in changing jobs then. Six months later, they called again (a different position). This time, the country was already on lockdown, so I started off working from home just like everyone else. Then I realized I liked it (as going to the office would require me changing cities), so I told them I'd like to keep it that way regardless of the status of the pandemic. 17 Likes 1 Share |

It’s become obvious that the best way to survive under this government is to have a side hustle or remote job that pays one In forex. I urge all Nigerian youths to see this as a better and viable means of survival in this present age of side gigs. Learn new 4IR skills which are easy to learn today on YouTube. Package yourself and look for jobs online and you would be surprised that the sky will be your limit when you start smiling to the banks. 17 Likes |

Mine was rather sad ending. Registered on upwork, sort and bit for jobs for over 2 weeks without success, then on this fateful Wednesday morning luck smiled on me. There was this start up printing company in the US, they were sorting for remote graphics designer. I bit for job and got a reply, was excited like hell. I spoke with the man, he was impressed with my portfolio and willingness to join them. He let me know my duty was to do simple mug designs at the rate of $10 per design, then he asked how many designs I can pull up in a day. Given the simplicity of the design, I know I can deliver at least 15 designs daily, I could do more but I know the power situation of Nigeria. We settled at 15 designs daily, now was time for final task... He wants me to do 2 samples and send it to him just to be sure I understands what he needs. I did and sent, it was 11pm... I plugged in my phone and pc and pray to wake up and meet good replies..... Woke up the next morning and boom! My phone and PC was stolen... I can't access my upwork account from any other device without my Sim. MTN office frustrated my life for 3 days before I could get a welcome back Sim, thanks to Lagos population. When I finally login, I realized my samples were approved and I was to resume the next day, jobs was already sent to me to handle... Unfortunately I was offline for 4 days... That was how I lost the job. I explained everything to man, but it was too late.... Someone else got the job. Caught the idiot that stole my stuffs 2 weeks later, that's another story for another day. I've been freelancing for long though 124 Likes 4 Shares |

Lolz Reading comments got me laughing ....got my first $100 job from fiverr 2016 to do product testing or scrutiny and since then I have never stopped working online and the experiences and payment for services rendered is quite gratifying! Reason I'm an advocate for Online Remote Job type and Earnings. Like I've stated here many times that if you have access to the internet + browsing gadgets and you ain't making even $5 on a daily then it's your undoing (Fault)! Learn how to earn online if you don't know how to. Earning online requires you build an Online presence then source for clients that are readily available to pay for your services where directly done or outsourced. If you can get just 10 clients that pay you $30 for simple tasks monthly that's $300 for 3-5 hours daily routines! The good thing about working online is that there are billions of online users looking for good hands to handle a thing or two for their business or organization . Make sure your charges are fair and negotiable. Proactivity Leads To Productivity !!! Deejay1000: True! Many people interested in earning online don't realize they need a mentor! Nicoswit:Building online presence if you are skilled requires two steps #Creating an e-portfolio (e-resume & work proofs) #Been in the faces of prospective clients and showcasing your e-portfolio for everyone to see and patronize your skills or services. NB For those sending PMs pls stop just kindly reach out via the facebook ID on my profile with the word "MENTOR ME" if you are skilled but if you don't have any skill then be ready to pay for my training. Mind you don't expect a mentorship that will prepare you within a space of 14days and see to you earning @least $5 daily or $300 monthly to be cheap! Though there is an installment payment mode in place due to popular demands from those that have reached out. The Choice to grow wealth is a fundamental step to take and earning online will help anyone achieve it fast. YunqTee:To you it's not real because it doesn't have a pic right? SMH @you.....it's funny how you reason? I'm not sure you are serious about trying to reach out. francisgodstime:I stated it here already....read Another habit to grow in order to earn effectively online is the ability to see details and follow instructions! Cindy95:@Cindy I stated how to reach me....moreso I advice you desists from posting your phone number on a public space as NL for two reasons; # security & privacy breach purpose & # In order not to get a ban from Mods. There is a facebook ID on my profile that can be used in reaching out if need be. Send a request or Mentor Me message there!
