just copywriting.
But if there are there niches that requires just average basic knowledge then I can improvise.

Valid point, most people just try out basic skills, if you research and Upskill, you will see there are some interesting skills, one can get into, just time and focus.

Its insane. I remember they only refund 10 connects per interview. Did that change or would l lose 6 connects still even after landing an interview?

Upwork has lost it

What's your field on Upworks ? personally I'd say maybe try out Powerpoint Design, I saw a lot of gigs with little application there, I was tempted to apply.

The thing is Nigerians follow trends I kinda regret not learning PHP I am now stuck with other languages and I can't seem to bend toward PHP cause I got 2backend languages I use frequently and am learning another one for more job opportunities but not PHP but PHP will give you jobs. Same reason im learning C++ it's old but still relevant

It's never too late, with C++ you will have some insight in PHP to some degrees.

Nothing from weworkremotely.com? I've had success from reddit. But that reddit na with sense. You have to lurk and contribute to relevant communities and bid your time. Two of us Nigerians were hired from reddit. My other two colleagues (Argentina and Latvia) na from reddit too

The highest money I made from a client came from reddit, I was actually going to /r/DeadBedrooms until i saw a notification for /r/chrome_extemsions where I saw the client's post and applied and now, I've push an update to store and cleared all the previous bugs and improved performance for that extension.

Sadly I don't know how to capitalize off reddit like that. it was a thing of luck and being prepared

Not really just want to know best practices for building one

So the moment you have a good OOP skills and a high level knowledge of the API design, because an SDK is meant to help developers to build on top your libr with little knowledge of how it works internally

So depending on what you want to offer to the user(developers)

You will need to write out, how you expect the developer to use the library.

@qtguru..boss, can we get some samples of your proposals cause your success rate is amazing

My proposals are simple, each one is specific to the job but there is a consistent format I use

Upwork Clients can only see the 1st 2 lines from your proposals, so because my field is Tech, I have to be direct and also add my portfolio.

The portfolio is the key to getting jobs. It shows proof of work, after portfolio then reviews help.

But if I can mention how I get successful with gigs,

Bidding Tips

1. I try to be the first 5 proposals
2. I also check the "Last viewed by Client", if it's within 5mins, then it means high chances of the client instinctively responding to a notification.
3. If I see a job is perfectly within my field, then I can boost the bids because with a good profile and reviews, when you boost, they can view your work and pick.

Portfolio Tips
Have a portfolio for the gig you are applying for and it can be:
1. Screenshot
2. Video ( if your evidence requires explanation and more proof)
3. Audio

For me I use AwesomeScreen Recorder to share my evidences of Previous works

Freelance gig Upwork. when you apply on LinkedIn, go the company website to apply or reach out to the Talent Recruiter.

There are other job boards, but Upworks has served me well so far
