Can't recall how I fixed the W-8BEN tax document but you can get insight by reading the thread backwards...It's nothing too serious.

You can actually use both payment methods. The Direct Payment works fine when the exchange is high...you wouldn't even need an exchanger. You can add both and see when which works best for you.

please guys who understand "Before withdrawing funds, all non-U.S. persons must provide their W-8BEN tax information" and how do one go about it and also should i choose Payoneer or Direct to Local Bank (NGN) as my withdrawal mode please which is best ....

Hello,

Which bank are you using for Direct to local bank transfer, GTB no longer works with upwork, I really dont understand why.

With the kind prices these exchangers are calling these days, the DTLB is now the best option...
Re: Elance.com, Upwork.com And Other Freelancing Site: How To Succeed Guide. by tolajay: 10:09am On Jun 08, 2017
I use Diamond.

What response did you get when you affixed your GT account? Check if there's an option to re-enable the DTLB bank option...Once had an issue too.

I have renabled it twice, and got the same result. When I wrote Support they told me my bank was no longer supported.

I am still Skeptical about the WIRE transfer to Dorm account. I don't want to pay additional 20 USD inflow charges to GTB sad sad sad sad

So I guess I have to go and reactivate that my useless Diamond bank account now

Let's face it, anyone who says it's the same thing is a bloody liar. When you are in upwork as a member of any of the following countries: US, UK, Australia and Canada, you will definitely find it a lot easier getting jobs that are based on Writing, research, editing, voice over, and proofreading

Most jobs are easier to get if you are opportune to live in any of the above countries. Upwork has found a way to discover people using false IP so it's best you stick to being Nigerian but don't let anyone tell you it's the same thing because it's not.

Most people on upwork award jobs based on country of origin(as well as skills) , anyone saying this is not true is only out to deceive you. As a Nigerian, try working twice as hard, apply for jobs and use all your connects, you will definitely be lucky soon.

Hello Guys,

Hands down to all the Gurus in the house. I hope you guys are hitting it pretty hard on Upwork. As for me, God has been faithful. grin

This particular thread ought to be heat up with discussions, tips and most of our Upwork escapades. Unfortunately, this isn't so. Or are business thread meant to be boring? cry I don't think so.

OK, with that said, let me chip in some of my Upwork adventure. If Romance thread can do that, I don't see why we can't do that here.

Nevertheless, we have had great men who have been used by God to help us in this thread. If you check their lives, you will discover that everything about them screams blessedness at every corner because they always gave out tips.

My sincere greeting goes to the OP of this thread and other great men like Swagger and all. God bless you all!

OK with that in mind, there is something I want to talk about

Shall I tell you?

I am a writer on Upwork. I have never considered myself a great writer. Thanks to Toposquine( aka Tope) who almost made me feel as though my writing is bad as hell.

Don't get me wrong, he is a great man. He made me work my ass out in order to improve my writing skill. That is the secret to success. Always improve on your skills no matter how good you think you are.

I have been in Upwork for almost 6 months now, working and getting paid frequently from clients. My aim actually wasn't the money, but the Job success Score. I needed a Toprated badge so that I can command higher pay from clients.

*Lesson number one* for all new Upworkers, don't work for the money. Work for the rating. Make sure you work for a 5 star rating because therein lies your success.


Recently, I have been conferred a Job success Score I have craved for since I got started. I was however, somewhat disappointed that it wasn't a Top rated score. embarassed

Upwork gave me 90% JBS. Why would they do that? I have got stupendous relationship with all my clients and all my ratings are 5 Stars. The best part is that all my clients except one, are all repeated clients. So, why 90% not 100%.

Well, something inside me said 'maybe my writing isn't good enough.' Another thought said,' 'if your writing isn't that good, your clients wouldn't be repeated clients and they will run a coolnd scream out your lack of success in their comments after slapping you with 1-3 stars.

But the truth is that, I don't even know whether my writing is good or not. Let the client be the judge. But I have learnt something so far and that is, NEVER TO GIVE UP!! cool


So, how did I manage to secure some $$$ from that site all this while? Oh, I know, it is the grace of God. Yes that is it! God's grace.

Back to my Job success score of Why 90% and not 100%?

From my personal research, I gathered that I had just 4 clients for the past 5 months. 3 of these clients have been repeated clients, leaving me with just 1 rating in the space of 2 months.

Finally, the other of my 2 client decided to call it a day, leaving me with just one client. So, I had three reviews in 4 months.

The last client wouldn't let me breath in fresh air. He would always boon me up with a lot of work. That guy alone got me busy for more than a month.

I never knew Singaporeans were that rich. I need to go to that country. I have heard so many good stuff about that country. That guy was a top dollar spender.

Can you believe it that the guy spent almost $1,700 as the total amount of money he spent on his project with me?

Hey, I know what you're thinking, " o boy, this guy don hammer!!" Literally, I'd have swallowed that statement in victory, but I won't because the job took me almost two months. And of course, Upwork will also cut out their 20 percent fee. So, you see, it's nothing.

Article writing takes time and it is stressful!
Article writing has been and will always beg at the feet of topnotch skills like programming, web design web development, and others skills that command top dollar price.

Experts in these fields make that kind of money every week. Ask the likes of Victor, Swagger, etc. They will tell you that they make more than that a week.

Our price as article writers is dirt cheap. If you look at job postings, you'll be discouraged to even bid.

Well, that is a story for another day.

Back to the main discussion. What was I say?.... Oh, I remember, the Singapore guy! Yes, that guy was a blessing. Please God, I need more of this client in my life. grin

However, the young man also decided to give me some rest currently. But he hasn't ended the contract. He is yet to give a rating.

So, as it stands, I have just three 5-star ratings for the period of almost 6 months now. It is not my fault... My clients always bring more work.

So, I figure out that Upwork mainly use the number of positive reviews to rate freelancers. Unlike other Top rated freelance writers who have floods of positive reviews smiling at their account, my account is still laggy behind.


The question right now, which is the reason for this long post is should I buzz my old clients to close the contracts and leave sweet 5 star reviews? Or should I just close all the contract and wait for them to leave a 5-star review? Won't that be rude and unprofessional?

Guys, how have you been able to garner the top rated badge? Most of my clients are always repeated which is good but when they are done, the don't want to close the dem thing.

How do you handle that? Please your response is much appreciated.

Let us discuss... Romance thread shouldn't have upper hand in discussions? This is business for crying out loud!!

Sorry for the long post. I just had some free time today, so I decided to share some vitamin Cs.

More post coming up later specifically for writers. Watch out!!!

Earning the top rated badge depends on a lot of factors.
I entered upwork as a rising Star, got interviewed to be part of a Pro group in my niche, was added to another team builder group, got tagged with a Rising Star badge, all before I got my first client.

Then I got two short $10 dollar gigs and my current hourly gig. Got slammed with 100% JBS and top rated badge. Finally was interviewed by Microsoft as part of their Enterprise talent pool. Still waiting for my shot to work for them full time... I think it depends on the niche. I only have 3 reviews, so I don't think ending your contract will make any difference.

Right now upwork is like my side hustle, but I intend keeping my rating intact. Like every business, good reviews matter and excellent customer service is a great strategy to keeping the income stream going.

Hi Wman,

Thanks and God bless you too. Topsq is a great man no doubt about that. The fact he has the highest rate on Nairaland makes him topnotch.

Of course, he is top rated and that is why he commands high pay. That is it guys, aim for that badge for that is where the liquid gold lies.

Currently I charge $20 for 1000 words on Upwork. That means if I get that badge, my Rate will definitely increase geometrically.

Topsq also started like us, and look at him today--he is a big Boy!!

We can still do it too.

Hi Bolabell,

Thanks for your response. Yes, Singaporeans are quite strict on their job postings.

However, if you can do a great job for them, they will spoil you with cash.

It seems almost everyone has a boat of money to dish out in that country. I have seen some of their job posts and it pains me so much that I can't bid because my desk is already piled up with too much paper work.

Don't ignore their post. Some of them even pay more than some American clients.
