7 years ago I ventured into working as a freelancer (Online work) and from my experience over the years I now have a vast knowledge of it. Though starting as a beginner was very difficult as there was limited information about it online mostly for Nigerian's. But with persistent, ability to think smart and fast, I was able to achieve alot.

But many have find it difficult to even register on UPWORK let alone getting jobs as majority of them are not consistent and give up easily. I have seen many people online lamenting that getting jobs on Freelance Platforms such as UPWORK, FREELANCER, FIVERR, GURU, PEOPLEPERHOUR and many more.

Some even have the notion that client (US & Europe) can never hire them because they're from Nigeria. That's a very bad thinking, though I understand their basic of having that. But honestly that will immediately affect your zeal to work as a freelancer. I have co-freelancers and friends who have earned more than $50K+ (17.5M) on Freelance since their inception on it within few years.

Easy to say but effort is needed. You must have skills. Soft skills to be precise. Web/Graphics design, Customer service, Sales & Marketing, Writing etc.

I will be giving out many tips on how to be successful in the freelance world. You can ask as many questions as you want and I will reply as soon as I can here on Nairaland.

I'm trying to grow a freelance trend in Nigeria and help interested people in Freelancing to achieve success on a longtime base. My plan is to create an extensive reservoir of information for people to become a successful freelancer. Though it will b paid later. But for the meantime I will be giving out limited free information. Please reply to this trend.

First you've not mentioned which platform but I guess it's Upwork. Since you've updated your account and yet still persists, then it must be strange. I would advise you to email customer support or go to the Upwork community and Forums under 'Help' (?) It's faster that way as your complaint will be treated swiftly.
