I go use pidgin. No vex.

True true, time go reach when administrative work go disappear unto say AI go take over. The takeover is already in place.

Tech is the future.

And e dey easy to learn now because na the basics. Soon, it will be expensive because of the demands.

But what I think?
It will always look difficult if we keep calling it technology. Technology is actually that skill everyone has. My dummy thoughts tho.

Did a voice over as an amateur for an Indian couple and they were wanting more. And I am like..with this my yeye voice? Hehe.

Tried virtual assistance..with a faster speed rate of delivering 10k words in a day. Employer asked how I did it. I no tell am. That's my secret...pay me.

Opened a website for a man running a candy shop in 20minutes, designed and functional. Dude was all surprised. First guy charged him $4000 for 3 weeks. I charged $2k for few minutes. You can guess the rest. No bi say I sabi pass the first person, no. But I only learn things with AI these days...it just makes works easier.

For instance, there's a tool to do everything you do in an office for a week in minutes. What's really the need visiting? You snap the paper, it converts to Word. It computes..provides options for charts and many more. Then why do humans suffer?

So I used to draw when I was lil. Like I draw well. But later, I found one tool where you put the original picture and it paints it like hand drawn. What I do, I freelanced with it. You can hardly tell... My secret? Simple tool! Faster delivery!


Everybody has a skill. Try doing the lil graphic design you know...it's money.

Even if na only pidgin you sabi translate to, visit sites and offer to translate their webpages to Nigerian pidgin. They may not pay you at first...yeah, work as an intern. They will add you to translation team. Na CV bi that for next paying jobs.

I'm proud to say I am a contributor and developer at Google. Oya ask me what I did. Na just to do survey and review. Offered to translate too. No bi say I kuma do anything self. But that batch that year, I was enlisted as a contributor. But you needed to see how I boosted with “Developer at Google” during my Fiverr days.

Same with Wikipedia. I helped edited some profile. My name enter team from Nigeria that year. It was in my freelance CV, trust me.

I'm sorry but I like money... genuine money tho.

Just do it right and yes, boast about it in your CV.

Everyone has a skill.

I know of a dude online who says he has no skill..but he sends potatoes as love notes to emotionally depressed folks. Dude is a freaking millionaire.


I believe every skill is technical. You just need to know to apply it to meet the audience.


So many ways to make money..but it requires consistency.


Did I forget? I think the analogue age hasn't really passed so far we remain a developing country.

So cashing out it easy until tomorrow.

I no dey too do webinar again..cos I have personal businesses to manage...pay me N100k make I dedicate one week put skill into you. Trust me, e no go affect your normal jobs.

No caps.

There are many non-tech remote jobs like customer care reps, sales executives, product managers/owners, software testers etc.

Pay is by experience level. $1k-$1.5k for beginners, $2k-$3.5k for mid and $5k+ for experienced roles depending on your field. Bear in mind that you have an 80% chance of being shortchanged if you have a Nigerian supervisor who will slash your pay and give you like 50% or less of these figures.
Chairman carry me along i take God beg you, carry your percentage fine! Bros hook me up i need to move!!!


I supervise some African devs and I slash their salaries by more than 60% sometimes and divert it for myself. $500 is already big salary in Nigeria so any of them that complains gets kicked out at the next appraisal and replaced ASAP with someone who's willing to accept even less.

LienwaltAbel:
It's not. I worded it wrongly, sorry for that. But UI/UX isn't easy to learn. After learning HTML and JavaScript (both of which are easy), you'd have to learn CSS which is extremely hard to tackle. Books (even the prestigious for dummies) fail to go deep into CSS because it's extremely tricky, one thing may work on one browser and fail completely on another.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, UI/UX designers also design interfaces for phone apps and desktop apps, another beast on its own. It's not easy at all, and what's even more annoying is that there are too many people in that field who would be better than you, so you'll feel intimidated most of the time

UyaiIncomparabl:
Ermm. Hi. You may want to be sure about what you mean by UI/UX isn't to learn because I am presently learning Product Design and I don't do/haven't done the slightest coding. Also, there's a difference between a UI Designer and a UI Developer. I think you mean the "latter".

Can I message on WhatsApp?

Ok

Stylishly drop your number abeg

johnpablo541:
Remote working is bae, but the first few months are usually the hardest. I was almost frustrated after my first three months before I finally landed a gig.

But it gets easy with time, because clients would have seen that you have completed a lot of jobs and that puts you ahead of those with new profiles.

I believe there is more competition now than in 2021.

One advise is do not stick to one platform, I make use Upwork and Fiverr, but I prefer Upwork, but I seemed to have performed better on Fiverr this month than on Upwork.

I am planning on switching over from writing to Tech probably next year. A friend of mine is making a kill as a Sharepoint Administrator.



Attached is my earnings for July on Fiverr, I know it isn't much but it would motivate someone.

You can learn Copywriting from Venzal's thread, you don't need anyone to teach you. Just read everything on his thread on Email Copywriting.

hellohgy:
Boss pls how can I contact you. I really need to learn more about Fiverr and upwork.

johnpablo541:
Kindly ask your questions here, others may learn one or two from it also.

hellohgy:
Alright. About Upwork,

-Is writing still a selling niche in upwork? And what other niche can one do?

-Is opening a Nigeria or foreign account advisable in upwork? Which one do you use + recommendations.

-Other important useful tips to make it on upwork.


Thank you.

johnpablo541:
A friend of mine joined Upwork and I told her to learn the particular skill she wanted to sell, she said "it no hard jare."

She got her first interview within a few weeks and the client asked for a simple task, guess what she flopped. When she told me about it I had to look at what she did and I laughed, I told her that what she did was below average.

She was all about the money, she keeps asking, "how much do you make every week?"
I told her to calm down and focus on learning the desired skill and building a profile

pocohantas:
You have spoken well.

Right here is one of the major reasons I stopped guiding. People think customer support is easy, so many of them go for CS, but I have given 150 students 4 sample scenarios and NONE could come up with a professional response. But they all claimed to be CUSTOMER SERVICE PROS.

GloriousGbola:
All you need to do is look at the clearance thread and you will see Nigerians are shit at customer service.

johnpablo541:
Well spoken, then a lot of us Nigerians have poor work ethics. I had this friend i used to share gigs with when i have too much on my hand.

After a while she started giving excuses why she couldn't do the job, she will call me later in the evening that she had church program and they didn't close on time, or have one marriage or occasion she wants to attend.
