Lol. Too much work, Dauntless. It isn’t that deep to me, at least . No, I am not.

How are you catching up?

I am building a portfolio currently and taking Salesforce bootcamp, I am excited about earning dollars and I feel like starting right now but that would make me fail and loose the zeal, I intend to just have Patience and learn throughout this year atleast to be good enough, so doing good I must say, although I feel alone in this journey and that's why I am in so much need of a mentor.

Good morning! Nice to read this. Many do not build the skill or have any. They just want to earn dollars and it doesn’t always work that way. I wish I could mentor, but I have a lot on my hands and I always have issues with my male mentees. Please, keep coming here for guidance and motivation when you need them.

Most of the skills often time requires Research/Study and practice

My opinion is that Nigerians prefer hand-holding to self-learning.

Thanks, I appreciate your input, I am avid reader of your diary, pls give any clues relating to remote jobs as much as you can in your diary, it'd go a long way for me.

Lol issues with male mentees can't come from me, it's all about becoming a better person for me, anything other than that is a distraction, but I respect your decision.

ok

So people are still buying upwork accounts?

I pity una

Seriously Upwork freelancers are working for the Upwork as modern day slavery.

You buy endless connects to bid and bid for job, they will still deduct 10-20% on your hardwork earnings.

Yeah, I think this depends on perspective.
Not everyone has been able to get remote roles without Upwork, and some of us are lucky that we don't buy connects.
If you think about it, 20% is only on the first 500$, 10% thereafter to the next 10,000$. It seems better than a fixed pay in Nigeria that inflation of about 21% fuc*s you over.

I just realized it's per client.

The replies from clients are enough to fetch me connects, I rarely buy connects. What is your field ?

How often do you get gig now, competition is deep throat. Unlike before you hardly see 20 proposal, now in just few minutes you can see 50+

Yeah each interview get you free connects.

I'm into freelance writing

Yes, so it makes long-term engagements profitable, eventually.

Long term engagement is the best. I once had a client that we work over a year, did over 10k and some other ones

To be honest, I have had long-term relationships with some clients since 2021 when I joined the platform. When work is slow on their end or no new features, I turn on my availability and apply to about 2 - 3 gigs ( Note, I mostly never get picked or interviewed for these gigs). Primarily, my reason for applying is tied to my belief that merely turning on availability is not enough to get you invites. Then all I need to do is wait patiently, it might take a few days, but almost certainly, I get several invites and I chose the ones that match my short-term goals. Of course, there will be several other applicants, but several other factors play into getting the gig. Rapport with clients like djreloaded mentioned pricing and most important, skill and timely delivery history.
However, it is life, some just ghost you, and others, you simply will not get it because of some weird basis.
The playing field is no longer level, this use of connects to boost proposals is thievery in my own opinion.

I'll advice you to look at other skills as backup on Upwork, especially skills in demand. Do you follow Josh on YouTube?

"The playing field is no longer level"

Upwork is a means to an end, but not the end itself.

One thing I like about Upwork is that it has lots of red-hot client ready to hire immediately no time to nurture any client.

However, the connect boosting and profile availability are capitalist ideas from Upwork to keep feeding fat from freelancers. And the circle continues.

I pity newbie in this new development because Upwork will use their connects shine wella.
