How do I search for In-demand skills on Upwork?

Google and youtube mostly works, sometimes tiktok helps too

Olawrites:
Yeah each interview get you free connects.

I'm into freelance writing

I'll advice you to look at other skills as backup on Upwork, especially skills in demand. Do you follow Josh on YouTube?

Olawrites:
Seriously Upwork freelancers are working for the Upwork as modern day slavery.

You buy endless connects to bid and bid for job, they will still deduct 10-20% on your hardwork earnings.

The replies from clients are enough to fetch me connects, I rarely buy connects. What is your field ?

Ayomipoe:
Yeah, I think this depends on perspective.
Not everyone has been able to get remote roles without Upwork, and some of us are lucky that we don't buy connects.
If you think about it, 20% is only on the first 500$, 10% thereafter to the next 10,000$. It seems better than a fixed pay in Nigeria that inflation of about 21% fuc*s you over.

I just realized it's per client.

pocohantas:
Good morning! Nice to read this. Many do not build the skill or have any. They just want to earn dollars and it doesn’t always work that way. I wish I could mentor, but I have a lot on my hands and I always have issues with my male mentees. Please, keep coming here for guidance and motivation when you need them.

Most of the skills often time requires Research/Study and practice

My opinion is that Nigerians prefer hand-holding to self-learning.

Has anyone been able to get money from Payoneer to Grey lately?

Those 2 services, Red card from my hand. Geegpay works effortlessly

Ayrastarr:
What type of job was that ?

Bulk Teller for the first 2 weeks, then Customer Service after they explained the consequences of "shortage" to me

Buying of foreign account never ends well, what if you are asked to get on a call on Zoom ?

25k Guarantry Trust Bank (Vacation Job) during break from Year 1, I worked for 2 months, 2006

LikeAking:
It will take the job of people not too deep in the game.. No doubt, on the other hand it will create lots of jobs..

Brilliant comment, you said it all, even WordPress make its harder so Web devs will always have a gig. No foreigner is interested in touching code, just build plugin and charge him.

Nia69:
We've been friends since 2021. She acts clingy, I don't like it, but I've been enduring it so I won't hurt her feelings. I've told her more than twice, but she doesn't stop.

Is she a good friend or just looking to gain something from you, some people have no one in their lives.................................................................or she could be a lesbian and into you (you never know)

GoldenqueenC:
its 25k, thanks for your input, i appreciate it.

Ha then the HP is not bad, as long as it's for simple use, you are welcome.

GoldenqueenC:
the thing is that i went to purchase goods as i deal with used goods so i saw it in the container that was offloaded, just the 2 of them so i told the owner i would love to buy one, also the technican there opened it for me and said the hp battery and hard disc was removed but the acer is complete. Sorry for the disturbance .

The Acer CPU is old, and the HP one from what I can see online, is also under powered, if it is to just watch Youtube and do small work Typing and all, I'll say the HP,

but if you are in the Lagos and the price is above 60k, I would advise neither, a lenovo thinkpad is better, cheap and stronger.

GoldenqueenC:
yes i have both with me, so i should go for the acer.

Sorry hope it's not too much to ask can you switch on the HP and type dxdiag in search. The HP looks modern but I am not sure of the processor, I want to be sure before making any decision

GoldenqueenC:
hp pavilion, intel(inside), window8, its more like a notebook while the other one acer is quite heavy.

is the laptop close to you, I can't tell the spec from the model, I see Celeron which is a bad CPU for work, so.....

Does it say Celeron on the Intel sticker ?

What's the HP Model ?

Drella:
Good day boss.

Quick question Sir.
I'm learning front end web dev. I have working knowledge of HTML and CSS. I'm at the basics of JS.
But styling and designing isn't my thing. I want to do real programming and not be stressing myself about styling, responsiveness and the likes.
Can't I learn backend only? Maybe utilize JS knowledge by learning nodeJS.

People on Reddit said a backend dev still needs to know how frontend works. What do you advise?

Knowing both helps much better, unless your job is just API and Integration.

Joblessness OP

Getting a job from Nigeria is hard, the timezone is the first thing, then also Nigeria has that issue. Just leave to cheap EU country and apply from there. Croatia allows you to come in for a year,from there, it should be easier to port.

Imagine. That's sad

To think people died trying to get their money. What a country ?

Hoping to settle down this year.

Slynation:
Eya...The issue of this unfortunate and untimely cashless policy is really telling on the lives of individuals, I feel pity for those who are not technically inclined...Even those that are in the system isn't finding it funny, how do you pay the mason man working on your site, baba is insisting on physical cash that he doesn't even have a bank account while Oga is busy running around contemplating how on Earth can he pay a POS vendor 50K charges to get 100K cash...!!

Only in Nigeria smh never seen such in all my life.

Fembleez1:
Hello Sir,

Trust you are fine.

I was trying to purchase Connect on Upwork and I used my Visa Naira Card with the right details, and I was informed by email that my Account has been suspended. What do you think is the problem, sir?

Thanks and Best regards,

ChipperCard might work
