The point is not the location: it is in the suffering. That we can agree on. People here do not want to suffer before success.

Hi Ayemileto,

To be sincere, I've never had a similar experience. And if what you typed here is actually what transpired between you and the client, then I don't think you should pursue this job further. Even if you reconcile with him, what guarantee do you have something similar won't happen in the future.

As for the other part, check the job description. If the client has hired, you should see it right there beside the total number of freelancers that applied to the job.

I'll advice you to apply to other jobs. Just wait and see what he will do while you keep yourself busy.

As for fiverr, I have no experience there. I never worked there so I can't advice you.

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.

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? 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.

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 nd 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!!


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.

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!!!

Ayemileto:
Hi guys, I need you guys help to analyse this situation please. i got my first interview on upwork two days ago and the person sent 13-different my word file as test. i'm asked to correct the pages and make the pages of every document start from where the previous one stopped.
i did this successfully but when doing my final check, i discovered there's an error in document 12 which i corrected meaning i corrected 13 also. when uploading, i mistakenly uploaded 2 document 12, which is the wrong and right one. the following conversation later ensued.

HIM

why there are 2 , number 12 ?

we dont accept this kind of careless work 11:34 AM

ME
ok. i've checked. i mistakenly upload two number 12. if you check well, one is correct while the other is wrong.

the one with pages 131 - 140 is wrong while the one with pages 131 - 147 is right. 11:54 AM

HIM
who will fix this.... ? 11:57 AM

ME
its my mistake. but i don't think it will cost you a lot of time to delete the one whose name has 131-140 in between the bracket.


its been over 24hrs i last got a message from the person. did i sound rude? should i apologise or initiate a conversation?

According to upwork statistics, the person has spent over $30,000 on upwork already which means he's less likely a scam.
As at yesterday during the last conversation, there are 4 interviews but checking today there are 3 interviews. does it mean the project has been awarded?


Also, i have about 71 impressions 7 clicks and 20 views on one of my fiverr Gigs in the past 6 days but no message nor order. is there something i'm not doing right? please help me check. https://www.fiverr.com/oloriirephilip/do-your-typing-work

Hello sir, please i am new here. Created my profile few hours ago on upwork and i just checked back to find out that it was disapproved. Please what can i do and also any hint on profile creation?

Hi everyone,

It's been long since I posted here.

This is just an update. Today, I withdrew from my Up work account using the Local Transfer Option. My bank is GtBank.

And the exchange rate is $1=#332.19...which is favorable as XE.com listed $1=#315...


So if you are getting robust fees from Payoneer, you can also try this option.

Also, it removes the hassles of having to manage a foreign Paypal account or dealing with exchangers.

Keep the huzzle going...

PS... I should have works available for interested freelancers soon...thanks.
