please have tried freelancer.com but not working for me. the major issue is, if I change name , is there a guarantee for getting job.

secondly, how do I get paid, as I can't register on PayPal..

thirdly, must Ur name on Acount or Paypal tally with d one u registered with on up work?

Nice one Op, following...

you can get paid through payoneer

Or through wire transfer, though they charge $30 for this.

After suffering myself for 3 years with earning of exactly $168 (you can imagine). I had to think hard and realized that life isnt fair and really does not punish you if you improvise and find alternatives to a problem as long as you don't break the law.

So what I did was to create an alias. A new personality. CIA does it all the time so why can't I?

I created an American personality (a lady) with all the necessary information details (DOB, address, SSN, mother's maiden name, etc).

You can get one here and improve on it http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/

I got a good reality photo, then went ahead to create a new account in Upwork. If you are doing this, ensure that in your profile, do not talk much stories. Just let them know the skills you have, how many years experience, and your qualifications (they must match your profile and skills). And in case you do not know, no one cares about your real life qualifications. Just fill in anything that matches your profile. As for me, I indicated that I am an MBA student in a UK university. You can write you have PhD, etc..your choice. The more qualifications you say you have, the more they see you as someone who can do the job even if you do not have hours to your credit in Upwork.

For your working experience section, just pick any random company (may not even exist on the internet) and give yourself a position that rhymes with your profile. Don't worry, Upwork do not verify anything.

If you are scard of IP issue, then just download and use Epic browser. It has a US IP (follow come). But like I said earlier, they dont care which IP you use.

Finally, go ahead and do some tests relating to your skills. And make sure you pass them well. If you fail do them again.

After doing all these, I completed the registration of my new account and in less than 3 days , I got 4 interview invitations. Now I even dey reject some invitations.

nice.. kinda new to freelancing... would try thjs

What exactly are you trying to promote?? What's the difference between you and those guys that create fake ids to perpetrate dating scams?? Well, what do i know sef

Did he use the new identity to perpetrate crime?

Some arguments are not worth it. Some people will never understand, while some will understand and go ahead and start earning a living. How many Nigerian musicians use their real names? Why do law enforcement use fake names for undercover work? I have already mentioned CIA. The point is, like I said, no need arguing with them.

If there are other Upworkers in the house, they should come in lets discuss the best proposals. How do you package yours?

You can receive from Upwork through Skrill They accept Nigerians so you don't have to go through the VPN ish like you do with PayPal.

Skrill also gives higher rates compared to paypal and payoneeer. Thank me later.

I think you will find things harder if you use a Nigerian IP. Our people have destroyed our online reputation, sometimes I wish I was from another country

The more Nigerians and Indians spamming online sites the more difficult they make it for genuine people.

Learn a skill and use it to offer good service. You will get clients
