Person wey dey mad.

AgentKB:
So, what value does your writeup provide order than your hope that it would be read by people who have the potential to ask you stupid questions? And that hope is clearly written in uppercase to show its the most important part of the text.

You've not really worked outside, but you are working 24/7, even at the gym you have to carry your laptop. Are you alright?

qtguru:
That's how I feel, I can't complain because of the mo ey, but you're working 24/7, even at the gym, I have to carry laptop and modem. Luckily I employed an intern from Nairaland and we've been working and sharing the profit.

But I've never really worked outside the house, does it work for you ?

HardMirror:
I will keep this short and no one should send me any message.

So last year I decided to revisit freelancing because I am a gifted writer and been writing for many years so why not use it to make money?

So I registered on a freelancing site and the journey began.

Making money is never the problem if you are a freelancer, the problem is how much time can you give to the job.
The job was just too much that i had to employ many nairalanders to work for me.
At a point I was earning $900 per week (i could earn much more than this but where is the time to do more work?) but the work was just too much. So much that i moved to an hotel for several months just so that i can focus and have the hotel staff attend to all my needs so I dont have to do any work except my writing job.

This is a job that would make you want to go mad. You will work mornimg and night as if you have no life. Forget social life, all you will be after is to meet deadlines.

People will think you are a yahoo boy because you dont go to an office and you are always on your laptop. They also see that you dont have problem with money. To make it worse you are always going to bank to collect dollars and take to aboki.

I shake my head when i see nigerians complaining that there is no work. There is work but most people cannot work. That is just the truth.

If you know you can make these sacrifices then you should consider freelancing so far you have the skills for the jobs you want to apply for.

Please, let me know the freelancing writing sites I can register with. Thanks.

Sorry about my comment; please don't let it discourage you. I'll edit it at once.

That said, I have been a freelancer for years now. Before COVID broke out, I was making a kill from the gig world. During lockdown, I was still making a reasonable amount until 2022 when everything went south. COVID opened a lot of people's eyes to the fact that they could actually work from home.

Due to coronavirus pandemic, many freelance platforms lowered their registration restrictions, letting lots of people easily sign up on their marketplaces. I am still a freelancer today, but the space has become more competitive now.

If you ask me, I'll say you should continue working on your skill until you become good at it. Afterwards, you can leave the country and start a new life abroad as a junior developer.

Good luck.

Thanks bro... Ese pupo

Freelancing pay no doubt but the way you glamorized it make it seem like it's easy.

You've been a writer for years and you are not advicing people to learn how to write ... A big red flag.

Someone who can't write you're telling him how easy it's to make dollars.

Here's my take on this

Teach people how to write do SEO and they will make passive income

I prefer blogging I used to publish on kdp until I was ban for image infringement.

I now published on a platform in Canada but prefer blogging

If you can write you wouldn't be working for someone else for only one time income.

I prefer passive income and cash out a huge exit.

I'm in the process of taking my niche site from $0-4000.

If I get to $4000 I'll flip it for $144k peged at 36 months multiple on flippa or empire flipper.


Right now I've 72 article bringing in 9 dollar I just place ezoic on 11-12 this month epmv at 13 dollars traffic is about 1k monthly visit. And 40-50 daily traffic

I need to write 300 blog post to meet this goal how hard is that and I need to write it in one year.

sir what is the Canadian platform you publish

Typo , I meant working outside the house on a full-time basis compared to being indoors.

This is just too general and generic. I take it with a pinch of salt. You've to be specific to sound believable.

The hardest part of freelancing is getting clients that are retainable. From your post, how can a beginner surmount that?

As freelance writer myself, I'll not believe you until you mention specific tactics you've used to get clients.

Working remotely is the best in some cases, instead of Starlink that will empty my pocket, I got connected through MTN Fibre Broadband Unlimited with less than N50k and I pay 10k monthly for 10Mbps and I lived in a quite area with adequate power supply.

I am not arrived yet but I am managing my life with remotes jobs, I am into PR, contents creation, graphic design and networking.

May God help us.

I agree ,been freelancing since 2016, 2019,2020, 2021 ,2022 were my best years ,got a contract gig that ran uptill 2023 Jan, now out of a job since Jan, no gigs, no feedbacks from applications, I did published on KDP , my ebook in 2021.

My freelance ratings on a few popular platforms gives me hope that i will get a gig request soon, but I would love to move on to the next phase ,owning my own articles and marketing them for passive income, will love to learn more about this.

Shut up!

Upwork and Fiverr don turn something else.
They have changed their ways and it's affecting many freelancers. Add Indians and Yahoo Boys and see how it is affecting legit hustlers.
Add Buhari's wahala too.
Chai

Upwork and Fiverr have changed their ways as in?

Oreoluwa5:
sir what is the Canadian platform you publish

tablo.com
bookvault

They are not free but distribute to Amazon and other Ingram spark.

My advice to anyone with a kdp account is to hold it very dear because once you loss it it's almost impossible getting a second one.

See ignorance.

qtx:
So long as Google is against AI content, AI writing is yet to take over anything. No serious organization makes use of AI content for anything serious.

I started blogging this year after my kdp accounts got banned I bought 3 course from a Nairalander here.

However, i knew how to write because I already have Dan Kennedy influential writing and John Carlton simple writing system course

i slave to aquire those course he most important decision I've in this life.

However for blogging I bought project24 seochatter feature snippet course.
Kyle roof on page SEO course.

And I follow SEO tester like lee Witcher Steve toth this made SEO very simple for me.

Try all these.

That's why I have results like the screen shot above.

For those arguing about Ai it's only good for research and speeding up writing you've to go in and edit for humans. Fact check.

Also Ai can't do centerpieces annotations

ai will confidential give you wrong answers to questions because it does not understand sarcasm or jokes.

Fiverr don remove Buyers' Request and they don derank people's accounts, no matter how high your level is.

Upwork has started the policy of buying connects and you must use the connects to pay for visibility.

qtguru:
Indians as clients on Upwork are terrible, I dey reject their job.

All the reviews below 4.5 that I have on Fiverr are from Indians.
Na why I no dey even watch their movies anymore. I dey vex

indians have done serious damage to freelancing. But you know why i dont stress myself? They can never deliver the quality of work Nigerians and Philippinos deliver especially in creative writing. So dont worry about them, just totally avoid them

pocohantas:
They come in with below basic skills and want to earn dollar/pounds. A friend kept telling me she can do what I do. Is it not Excel, is not business analysis. A partner had a vacancy and I sent it to her. She read the requirements and developed headache. I tried hard to ginger her to apply, she didn't. She done see Excel run.

Hi Poco, can you share excel role with me too?
I feel the competition is stiff BUT I'm way above average user. Not just having used VBA, I apply very complex formulas with ease! Thank you.
