Good one!

stagger:
OP how much have you made from those sites? I challenge you to show snapshots if your earnings. Nobody will come here to talk balderdash about what they have not practiced.

I was a special invitee to the Elance conference in VI some years back. I can tell you that I am sure u have not made up to $1000. If you have show us or tear down this thread.

You sire are very small minded.

Smartlife:


If you and Victor can't provide proofs of your earnings to make us believe what you are saying, then know that you are wasting time. No guy here will buy your ebook or whatever. Beware

GBAM!!!

Someone challenged me here to show proof if earnings. I posted one. Another one said na lie, nobody can pay a Nigerian that much. I now show a pic of dollars withdrawn from GTB on my way to Sheraton Abuja to change them, they say I am proud.

You do one, dem go talk. You no do, dem go talk. Success attracts jealousy.

You need to take a chill pill bro. Success is a journey, not a one day thing and if you see success, don't be jealous. Simply ask humbly how you can replicate it and it will be shown you.

don't mind him. that's human for u

Sometimes I wish I could hit someone for posting shit on the Internet.

I'll advice you come to upwork. Well any other thing, you can reach me here or my email: aprofessor@naij.com ( If am less busy I will reply).

Hello Victor,
You know what? Most people in Nigeria will always doubt no matter what you tell them. Don't blame them because of the mess we got ourselves into. The Mess of scam,419 and mistrust. Have earned from odesk now upwork (elance is joining them this september). Am a part-time freelancer.
Thanks for sharing this info to us.
FYI dear Nairalanders-- u can make so much from your home.
Regards.

Some of us have to be truthful. If you want to come on a site to show ppl you make money from freelancing atleast come fully prepared. Just talking and talking when you know Africans don't like to read see doesn't do it. Just let them see a proof since that is the only thing that works on the mind of skeptic Africans waiting to brand the other man making online genuinely a scammer


Screenshots from one of my old accounts on fiverr. Sure you wont be waiting for one i currently run. I hope i haven't derailed

You can make money online sharing healthcare products as I do with my blog. Its easy, its fun and rewarding with a promising future. We need dealers in your community and that can be you. Call 08097 17 4000.

well, I've been following Victor101 thread silently, since he is on FL com per say. As a newbie that just joined freelancing (just 2 months now).. I can say with all truthfulness (even though I'm a busy person and just started staying online 24/7) that I have earned $1500 on freelancing (as a newbie ooo) and still counting... Just finished a job of $200 this Sunday and I've been credited... It's real if you can take bold step and know your onions.

pls which job did u do? And how were u paid? Into which account? Did u open a domiciary account before u join freelance? Reply pls

Acquire a skill that you can sell on that site. That was my secret. When you are that good, no one will want to know your country of origin. Skills speak!

oDesk is one of the website I used to build a reputation for my work, and also logomyway, but left logomyway due to PayPal issue, I have been busy working on local jobs, so I have left odesk for some time now.

I started working on upwork last august and I've earned close to $700, just from a single contract which is still on-going.

check my profile

Freelancer name : Ayodeji Aje.


U need tips on how to bid.

I've personally discovered tips on how to get interviews from clients, how to bid for the right jobs, choose verified clients and many more which I will share freely on popular demand.

Its real. Upwork.com is the best.

as for freelancer.com, I discovered that there are lot of scammers there who will ask for security holds for them to start your contract, even tho many are making it there too. I recommend upwork


$700 in three weeks is not bad ooo..more than my monthly salary.

Cheers.

good. I will be glad if you can give more info about how to succeed in diz biz. I have gud knwledge in graphic design, & article writing. can i mixed both on upwork or just choose one?

[quote author=stagger post=38009903]

Someone actually called my academy a stu.pid academy. What I refused to mention is that a prominent guy from my place who is trying to eradicate poverty actually sponsored 20 students from his place to get the training so they are not paying a dime. I have actually been on this for 2 years now.

I am talking to a foreign foundation to give me a grant to train some folks for free. So my friend, you see why I said I will NEVER sell an ebook or market anything to anyone here on Nairaland. The place is filled with all kinds of fools. One person who contacted me about this last year and who I gave so much information for free did not even bother to send me a mail saying thank you. I will put up his username once I go through my mails.

Forgive my language, but the idi.ot who called my venture a stupid one is part of the reason I will not contribute anything further to this thread. Afterall, I found my own way myself with no help from no one and certainly not from people like darmochy1.

Bro you got it all wrong, the fact that you achieve some success through a particular process does not mean every body should follow that process, I don't believe in you ideologies, you are not real to me, you could be to others, somebody was busy asking you for the required skills they will need, you never mention one rather you were busy advertising your programming school, "Nigeria" ain't easy but we should try as much as possible to help one another, you ain't humble bro, you brag a lot in your writings, you will need to review your character again. I will leave you with this words:

If you have given get hurt : Give more
If you give more and get hurt : Give even more
If you give even more and get hurt even more : Give more until it hurts no more

OK, it's good you have a niche in mind before you start, don't be a jack of all trade.

One thing to have in mind is that people are willing to pay for any service you can offer as far as they have a need for it. The issue is what are you good at, what is your passion?

Writers are making money, graphic artists are making money, Web developers are making money, the list is endless.

What is your passion and do you have the necessary skill? If no, quit NL for a week and learn it, and then come back here and ask how to start making money with your new skill.

Focus is important in order to achieve result.

G12, I love this!!
