LEEUWENHOEK:
This might not be related to Upwork but it seems there are people here with the know-how of receiving funds internationally.

I have a Visa prepaid card and I would like to transfer some of its balance into my bank account but I don't know how to go about it. I need the money in naira for a local purchase please I need your help.

Although I don't use geegpay/wise/grey yet, I was thinking if they can be funded with the card then converted and transferred into my local account?
if you are yet to get the issue resolved let me know. I can assist u with using PayPall

You are correct. That's the truth; you will see someone who is not even major in your discipline getting the job before you because of that US flag...I will advise anyone making good money from Nigeria here....please, do one thing...save up massively, and japa....while you still can...the day the job dries up on these online platforms like Upwork or Fiverr, or they close your account...hmmm.... but when you get over there, you have double security, even working on Upwork will be a side hustle.

You can't be more native English than an English person. Yeah I made some good amount but yet it's not an easy ride. I changed location from Nigeria that's how I was able to pull that.
Nigeria account is hard.

How many Nigerians are really making it, forget all these new Freelancer making noise here. Most haven't even reach their first $1k on Upwork..lol. That's why I said 1%.

Best advice you gave here.

"The day the job dries up on these online platforms, or they close your account" life won't remain the same again, and the obvious truth is that it will happen soon or later.

Look at how chatgpt and other AI tools are taking away creative jobs right now .

Lol

No job security for Freelancers.

Hello Everyone.
Has anyone used wire transfer on upwork?

Are there other charges asides the $30 upwork fee. Like receiving bank fees..etc
Also which bank do you use? Need banks with minimum processing fees.

Hello guys, qtguru and co
I have been following this thread since last and it's been a source of motivation to me.
Apart from being a data analyst I also started learning technical writing for a while now and I have started building my portfolio,
I would like some advice on how to optimize my Upwork profile to attract clients.
Thanks


Also if you you have any job load of referral on writing or something related to business or financial analysis you pm me, I will be glad for the opportunity as I want to start making money too, I have been learning and practicing since 2021 and I want to focus on looking for opportunities while still learning.
Thanks cc Dudeladude pocohantas

Agreed it's why I am relocating, freelancing is not going to be as lucrative in the future especially for we Nigerians, remote jobs are closing up.

Good day everyone.
I have an issue with my Upwork and I'm looking for insight.

I had a relatively steady job flow on Upwork when I started last year, but I ran into a client who messed up my JSS.

It crashed to 56 (from 95) after she ended the contract. When I reached out to her, she contacted Upwork, and made some effort to correct it, but it only got up to 65.

Right now, it's at 71 and I have not gotten any response from the proposals I've sent out in the last few months.

I need help with this. Please, what can I do to rectify this situation?

Don't dare using wire transfer, u will regret using it, betterstill use Payoneer to pull out your funds, using ur Dom Account.

Write better proposals and boost them when you can afford to.

Don't ever contact clients to discuss their feedback after the contract ends. Upwork considers it "Feedback Building," which is a violation of its terms of service. If the client reports you, instant ban.

Pointless debate, I've sat in FIRS meeting in Abuja and I'll tell you for free, they are eating your tax, I was to build something to stop it, and those eating money blocked us. Japa if you can.
Hello good day. please is there an implication on the forum if one uses NIN in place of TIN?

Well I know you have to input it before you can be allowed to withdraw. If it's left blank one can't withdraw.

Right now, there are no implications as it seems to work fine. However, you know how Upwork reacts to false information.
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by qtguru(m): 2:40pm On Aug 01, 2023
chieni:

lol please can you respond to the question.

I was being serious, I know I tried random data before for a account I manage, because I don't know of any API that Upwork uses to validate the TIN number. Hold on let me confirm for you with mine.
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by qtguru(m): 2:47pm On Aug 01, 2023
There's no TIN and VAT set here and this account can still withdraw

No I haven't. Did you also use a random data for your account? plus who knows Upwork might come with a policy to verify the TIN. I have no idea. I just wanted to be sure there is no implication if I decide to just use my NIN like the other poster suggested

My fears. They might just decide to come up with one funny policy.

Are you sure it's not because the account has no fund in it. Mine displays a pop up to update my TIN whenever I log in.

Invest the money you made on reviews. It will help push it
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by ArticleBeast: 9:45pm On Aug 02, 2023
People keep complaining and whining on NL, others are cashing out on Fiverr and Upwork. Some are complaining about AI, others are using same AI to bag projects left and right.
