Do you need a credit/ Debit card, or ACH? Point of sale processing platform? We are at your service.

You can collect payment from your USA customers using their credit/debit card, ACH just by sending them a payment invoice.

It works far better and much better than stripe.

You can also use this platform to spend cards you have without issues.

THIS SERVICE WILL BE LIMITED

Actually, you all can sign up on Gigslance. It's also a freelancing website that has both Upwork and Fiverr features in one. I just discovered them lately.

Get a skill that's in demand (I'm an SEO specialist) then bullshit your way into getting a job. It's possible to earn $1k in a week from Upwork if you know how to apply for jobs. Albeit, your niche plays a huge role in how much you'll make.

A tip is just to build your profile first by getting reviews in a niche (doesn't have to be SEO related).

As a lot of ppl mentioned, transcribing is a good place to start. More so as you don't have to learn anything new.
please can I contact you?

I won't encourage you to do affiliation marketing because it is dog eat dog system.

If you want to start any freelancing, you need to game the system real time.

First, see it like another business, you sacrifice alot. Your money and time is very crucial.

There are tons of info here and people willing to to mentor you for reasons best known to them.

But I tell you authoritatively, all you need is within you, if you stick to these steps below.

1. Do your research on the platform and choose what is in demand.

2. Learn what it takes to deliver your gig.

3. Open and account and create your gig (you must have gone through step 1)

4. Create social proof for your gig. It means you purchase your own gig with another registered account and give yourself a good review with 5 stars.

5. Lastly repeat step four few more times then be patient enough for your gig to start getting impression.

Very simple, as long as you have money to fund your reviews, you will fly while others are crawling for months.

Moral lessons. Have initial capital before you start any business.

Thank you
Wow wow wow. Spiritual. For ur #4, should l create employer account or just same account as my own? Thanks boss

Am a graphic designer / Virtual assistant. I have been in upwork and fiverr for a few months now. I have not landed any job yet.
To get a job on those site are very competitive.
It best to apply for job with ur skills on any company. It very difficult being a Nigerian trying to make it legitimate online.
I source for clients offline now, where I design products package, Flyers, Posters, Cover book and Newsletter. At least once a week. I get job from friends or on Facebook. Currently looking applying for jobs.
To get Jobs on fiverr or upwork u will have to do some work free and build up ur profile to show u have done such work before. Again u need to optimiz ur LinkedIn, Facebook and twitter. Have a portfolio profile and website.

I'd drop a few tips for newbies on Freelancer.com and Upwork.com ( I don't use Fiverr).

1) You need to be online all the time. All the freaking time. This means you'd need:
a) Very regular power supply
b) Fast internet.

2) Drop your hourly rates and bid amounts. As you're starting out, don't have "big eyes" except you have a really outstanding portfolio. Make your bid as fair as possible to the clients budget. If budget is, say, $30-$250. Your bid should be around $50-ish. Right now, you need reviews. So do the job well at the best possible price and get great reviews.

3) Build a good an outstanding portfolio.

4) Stay awake more at night. Target times from 1300 to 2400 hrs WAT.

5) BE CONSISTENT. Look at it as an actual job and treat it as such. Don't expect to put in time whenever you feel like it or are free and yet want to make a killing. Joke's on you!


6) BE MORE CONSISTENT.

7) Craft good proposals. Short but good! Also try to be among the first ten person's to drop a proposal (both on Upwork and Freelancer). Talk about the project, the client and how you intend to bring value to the project in your proposal and less about you.


8.) Keep to timelines! Don't give unrealistic timelines.

9) Politely ask for 5-star rating when job is completed.

10) Don't give up easy!


God luck!!!
