Yes, it's for free, but I just want to know the category you choose eg. Data analytics, writing, admin, sales and marketing, IT etc.
Why I'm asking is because none of the categories conform to online tutoring. I don't know if ure understanding me?

Oh yeah. That's true.

My gig was a writing one. I applied for the job through it. Just navigate through the skill sets. Your title should be related to tutoring.

But you can create a specialized gig under ur profile.

My first Upwork account was registered in 2015. I wasn't serious and neither did I get a job till late 2018. That first and only job got my account suspended.

I registered a new account and I got my first job after a month.

--- make sure you craft a good profile. It's very important. Fill your profile with relevant portfolios that will immediately sell you. Make sure your profile is complete.

----- you need to draft convincing proposals. You can check freelancetowin.com website for some useful tips. You can also pour through the pages of the website. It will help you.

----- check for the specifics of the job and make sure ur proposal is attending to them.

Your niche matters to win on Upwork. Some niche a quite blown out but excellence can set you apart anyway.

Hope and be wisely persistent.

Thanks for the head up, what do you think about Graphics design and UI/UX, and maybe Logo design and web design. How good are these niche.

That's the good side.

I use payoneer. Upwork can pay directly but the rate is about #349 but payoneer is #388.

I don't use PayPal.

How do I get a verified Payoneer account?

Is it Drivers license or National ID (temporal)

I believe UI/UX holds sway over those other gigs. Just be good and sell yourself well.

It's how you package your skills that matters most. Work on that..

Not to waste your time, and if you would be so kind could you give a very brief breakdown on getting a payoneer account and registering

God bless

It's a straightforward process. I can't recall the steps. Just go to the website and fill in the details. It requires no trick or hack.

Someone once told me the card would be sent to your home address...

Please I don't like it when someone automatically assumes I'm looking to cheat or trick the system. Its unfair

Opppssss.. I wasn't insinuating you trying to trick the system. You know there are some websites that are complicated. I was just suggesting that payooner registration is straightforward. My bad.

I wouldn't advice you opt for the card. Its is good as useless and the maintenance fee is quite on the high side. You can withdraw directly to you local bank account.

Good morning folks.

Waoohh what a thread!!!

Next month would make it about a year I started out at Brainly. It has been a highly rewarding experience. One which I don't want to ditch for now. I used to think before now that there are only 4 Nigerians on Brainly. Lol. How mistaken I must have been. Don't blame me bikonu.

My own section of brainly is quite different. I was not hired through Latinhire. I got this job via Upwork. We have an exclusive slack team of about 108 freelancers providing answers on a special tool. They cut across different nationalities. The team keeps growing by the day.

Initially, the rate was $0.7 if you answer some certain number of questions per day and if less, its $0.6. But things got stepped up around September last year. The rate increased massively. Answering more than 26 questions per day gives a rate of $0.9 per question, more than 13 questions is $0.8 and lesser than that is for $0.7. Just of recent, things changed, college level questions are now rated $1, high school $0.9 and middle school $0.8.

It has been a rewarding experience for me. I have had some mad runs in some months doing up about 1000 questions. Yes, 1000 questions. I am not here to brag just hoping my experience will inspire someone to double up and give this platform the time.

When I started out, my ratings weren't consistent and I nearly lost the gig. But when I shot up to a 100%, I have never looked back. Not me but God. Now, nobody checks my answers again. I keep my quality and I know my answers are top. Sometimes I contest some of their decisions. These moderators are humans too.

I have achieved something substantial with Brainly. I like the freedom of the work and its flexibility. But nowadays, the questions gets pumped 1am which is gmt time. You just must be awake.

My strategy is to filter out high school and college questions out. I blaze through middle school questions like a tsunami. I have clocked up to 11 questions within an hour. But on an average, I do 7 questions. That's just me nowadays. I love brainly. It has awakened hope in me and the little financial freedom I have is courtesy of this million dollar company.

I answer questions related to bio, geo, chem and phy. I didn't even know latinhire was the hiring gateway for brainly. I get paid weekly through Upwork.

I am happy to stumble on this thread.
My advice to you folks starting out is to give it the time. Build your quality base and be known for it. Then scale up and take that risk. Don't answer questions you are not sure of. Be very explicit when explaining. Give original and unplagiarized answers. Please, let's keep our rep and maintain our decency.
Let's avoid those chicanerous behaviors that might put us as Nigerians in a bad light.

Oh just to chip in something more, the question pools are seasonal. When students are on holidays, expect a dry spell. The first week of this year wasn't funny at all. May/June and July are always peak seasons but save for covid, nobody knows what's up again. Also,September to December have crazy runs. February, March and April might be a bit slow.

Also, did you guys sign a non-disclosure agreement? That thing dey fear me o!!!!

I have had the privilege of working on some special teams using the tool. There was a project last year and every week I get tipped some extra dollars. That's how rewarding brainly can be.

Special commendation to the bosses that opened this thread. You did well. Infact, you are selfless. I have been looking for ways through which more Nigerians would get in but Upwork thwarted my efforts. Another story for another day if I happen to tell it.

Together, we are Brainly !!!!!

Great...

Hello Mr, why not take a chill pill. Learn to read and understand.(I have been expecting you, Mr Bash)

Let me say I am sorry for not divulging this information.

I didn't know about Latinhire. All I knew was I got hired on Upwork after crafting a proposal for a job just like all the regular jobs I have been getting.

I didn't know Latinhire was a gateway to getting hired as a tutor on brainly. I am not that kind of guy. In fact, I just bumped on this thread yesternight.

It's not my Father's company. I won't profit from hiding anything.

No yawa bro
Apologies accepted.
Welcome to the family
