RoyalPriesthuud:
Need advice on moving to the next level at Upwork:

My first and only gig was a long term contract from February. It's not a continuous work as they only push work to me when they have the need with a 15hour weekly limit. The number of hours in total is about 70+ hours billed since February.

Here's the issue, I haven't had work from them at all in about 4 weeks, and I'm finding it hard winning any new work or even getting an interview. I feel like this could be because my account is still like new with no JSS and no reviews.

My question: Should I message my client to do me a favour by ending the contract and leave me a review so I could make some progress. I'd promise them that they could start another one with me when they have new work and at my current rate with them as a bonus from my end. Is this logical or is there a better way to approach it? Thanks for sharing your wisdom in advance

Can anyone help with proposal template for UI and ux designer.

CreamyCoffee:
ask gbt, at most you will get a hint

dauntless15:
Who's gbt?

CreamyCoffee:
chatgbt, you can type write a witty proposal for me as UI and ux designer, you will get an hint on which you shouldn't solely depend on, the wealth of your experiences added to make your proposal unique is the killer code of practice, avoid copy and paste as it won't make your proposal have the savor and aesthetic required.

JohnPortar:
I don't think so.

I have tried it before and got my PayPal account blocked. I am guessing you are using a Lesotho PayPal, linking a virtual USD account to it might cause issues.

I am not sure you can link Grey's virtual card to PayPal either. If you still want to go the PayPal route, please use Wallets Africa, their virtual dollar card works well with PayPal.

Hi, I need your opinion on this. Please are Nigeria upwork account doing well on upwork compare to foreign accounts like USA, Canada…

CreamyCoffee:
. Please provide a proof that wallets africa is not a scam,I just checked, they have horrible reviews all over, I registered with them and got verified, I funded the account, but for some reason, needed to withdraw my funds back, but couldn't, customer service stopped replying, am surprised why such app is still on playstore or licensed as institution

Djreloaded:

Hi guys, on what page can I find out how to withdraw from my upwork account to my domiciliary account. You help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Deypray:
It's straight forward.

Setup a Payooneer acct( in the same name with your Upwork acct). Verify it. Ince your account is approved on payooneer. Add your dorm acct to payooneer.


Come to Upwork and add your payooneer as payment method.

You widraw using payooneer. Ince the money gets to your payooneer. U widraw to your dorm acct from your payooneer. Simple
.

Keky:
Thank you. I've setup an account on Payoneer before, but how do I know it's been approved?

Guys, I just saw this notification. I have tried to register for TIN before now but it failed. How do I go about this without going to any revenue office?
