Nigerian bloggers go copy both the content and the copyright notice

I report them all and their blogs get flagged and taken down from search engines.

Absolutely! This list is just decent.

We hire freelance writers at my workplace. From my experience dealing with Nigerian freelance writers, I can say most of them are just lazy. They think being a freelancer is bring able to Google stuff and write in basic English. Many lack the skill, the exposure, important proofreading tools, etc. Some don't even have or wouldn't use PC: they type and research with their phones! grin

I think freelance writing is a professional discipline on its own. You need to acquire the requisite knowledge, skill, and tools that make-up the discipline.

Don't rush into it. Take your time, start by learning. Get online courses, read books, attend online classes (there are many now). When you become a true pro content writer, the rest becomes easier.

I'm available for hire too. Lemme shock your company small with timely deliveries.

You can have all the resources and talents, but if you can't sell yourself, you'll remain among these pitiable writers stuck in endless #2/PW.

In my years of ignorance, I have to write day and night for a month to even make #50,000.

I keep saying it, Nigerian clients will never help you succeed in this writing world, because they undervalue writers.

A Nigerian client paying you #2/PW feels he's overpaying you already, and demands a STELLA project or punish you by dumping tons and tons of requirements and headaches.

Never get stuck in the rat race, writing #2 or #3 per word, when there are bosses like myself earning $200 just to write a 1000 words article.

1. Translation Method

Nice writeup boss, my question is how does one avoid plagiarism when writing content, since most topics writers write on are on the internet already. Also, do you do SEO for your clients?

I want to start SEO but I realized I need to have a personal blog, but I'm finding it difficult to choose a niche to write on. It's not easy getting established either.

Bro please I need some tips. For the past year I’ve been working on 1.5/W. Believe me it’s horrible pay, but what’s a man to do? I know my employer won’t show me the ropes, so I would be more than glad if you show me. We fit even share my first earnings.
