DrLevi:

I don't think you need to DM, this is public information and I'm sure someone else would probably DM to get same info

I would probably be banned for posting the link, but googling the gtb domiciliary account would point you to a link with the requirements.

The requirements are the same for most banks except the initial deposits which is usually $100 for most banks but $0 for GTB. The banks have this information on their websites

From the GTB link(Copied and pasted)


Also, the savings domcillary accounts are easier to obtain(GTB doesn't have it) because the reference forms aren't needed and I think they should work fine also with payoneer
They do have some limitations, I think they don't allow direct deposits over the counter(You can't deposit raw dollars into them yourself) and they don't have cards.
You can't visit any bank's website for more information on their dormicillary account offerings

Thanks for your swift response. How about the withdrawal. One withdraws raw dollar cash to exchange at BDC or Street rate right?

Yes, you withdraw dollars from the Dom account over the counter and change at your favourite BDC

SpeedyPuff:
Okay, I bleeped up, how do I retrace my steps from here? My US phone number is already verified.

I'm a newbie on Upwork, I was only following someone's suggestion.

what if upwork ask you to make a video verification.
don't you think they can get your IP address ? may be you can use VPN right ? but will you keep using for your entire upwork journey.
you will really regret such action if you earn +100k and your account is permanently banned.
search for talents @ upwork you will see alot of Nigerians making a huge amount with Nigerian location.
even me I don't earn yet but my first proposal at upwork. I get to an interview stage by a client in UAE.
you follow a bad suggestions from bad people.

Hi everyone,
Could someone go through my profile and check for errors
Been unable to secure a job since January
https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~01cc1c25d320513311

For the past few days, I kept seeing content writing and blog writing jobs posted on my page, while my niche is copywriting and my skills are built around it. What could be the reason?

There's nothing wrong.
If you check your other skills in your profile dashboard you might discover that you actually also added content writing and writing itself as part of your skill set that's why..
Its a plus because you will have the opportunity to also apply for jobs in that niche as long as you can do it, you are good to go...

I have no knowledge in content writing, and it's taking over my job page with more than 60% of the jobs posted are related to Content writing and SEO thing. I didn't add content writing or writing to my skillsets, I only added persuasive writing a few days ago.

Jeez. I removed Persuasive writing from my skills yet I'm still seeing those content writing jobs all over my frontpage. Oh well, I guess it's going to take a little time to adjust back to normal, right?

Let me correct you now so that you don't repeat the bolded in public and lose face.

Persuasive writing — writing with the intent to persuade someone to do something, sometimes with irresistible offers — is a skill that's based on psychology and often used by copywriters. Content writing, on the other hand, is a subset of the content creation aspect of digital marketing, and so is copywriting.

A content writer writes with the intent to inform, educate, or even entertain readers, and a copywriter will aim to persuade readers to take some sort of action, usually one that benefits a business's sales process.

That said, today's top writers have taken a hatchet to the wall of separation between content writing and copywriting (Example: search Google for the term SEO Copywriter). SEO writing is an aspect of Content Writing, but it contains readability requirements that can elevate a copywriter's quality.

@Dollywood, the writers earning the income you, me, and many others yearn for combine aspects of both digital marketing subsets (content writing and copywriting) to create digestible, gripping, and persuasive content.

Broo, I done remove persuasive writing from my skills but content writing jobs done take over my jobs page.

Even the copywriting jobs on my page are scrap jobs, while content writing and SEO are just piling up on my page, and I'm not a content writer. About 70% of jobs on my page for the past 3days is about writing and SEO writing.

Alright noted thank you I really appreciate.. even professors need to be corrected..

I don't have the time , also you don't really need a mentor. these days, there are a lot of resources to help your journey.

can you please help us with those resources

Cruisegallow:
can you please help us with those resources

You can start with https://www.freecodecamp.org/ they have free courses and free youtube courses you can take. Also, I will recommend https://www.alxafrica.com/, I have seen their curriculum for their Full Stack Software Engineer, and it is nice.

Hi Everyone, I receive a lot of emails asking for Upwork guide, I try to reply as much as I can but really, there is nothing new for me to share that is not on this thread. If you are still not getting jobs then you are either not doing something right or you are not putting in enough effort to get a job. when I joined Upwork, I spend at least 3- 4 hours every day on upwork refreshing the job feeds. in fact, at a stage I had the thought to build a bot that sends me email notification once someone posts a job that has keywords I am interested in. That was how intentional I was about getting jobs then. Now, I get at least 8 - 10 job invites every month and I can't even remember the last time I applied to any job. I have even turned off my profile because I can't take new jobs. Long and short of this epistle is that you need to put more effort than the average freelancer.

Thanks to everyone keeping the thread active @qtguru, @N2B2 @DrLevi and the everyone else

What area are you specialised in?

I got frustrated with airtable gigs because they are not much, I applied for a WordPress gig today and got a reply. WordPress is still hot cake in Upworks.

Finally, just got my first job on upwork!

Bosses in the house, Abeg make person look this my upwork profile and review it. I opened the account late last year and no project bid won yet.

You people talk what you don't know or trying to deceive the dude not to succeed with Upwork. Keep shut if you don't know what to say. Be well inform that its extremely difficult to succeed on Upwork Nigeria identity, though not impossible. But keep shut on what you don't know

DrLevi:

Upwork frowns at double registration else I would have advise you just start over.

You could try posing as a Nigerian living in the states, and see how that goes. But so many others thing would probably hinder this, like the Tax form US people have to fill

Between the double registration and continuing the lie, I would say risk it with a fresh registration, the US lie won't fly at the end, so many checks prevents that

Quiet and stop talking what you can't prove. Why are you people full of conjectures?

DrLevi:

Sure, go ahead and make Upwork ban Nigerians thus making it harder for more Nigerians to access international gigs and make a living for themselves

them swear for Nigerians say make una no dey follow procedures?

The constant need to destroy any working system is something I can't understand yet very peculiar to Nigerians
The OP and so many others here are Nigerians with over $5k in earnings. One writer I saw his profile had 100k in earnings and his location says Nigeria. So what's inspiring this act of fraud?

Una dey tire me for the country

Because they have ban you before, keep shut for what you're ignorant of
