Hello house, you guys are great! Kudos to great ladywriter, and other gurus who have touched lives in this thread. Favour will follow you and your family; God will continue to protect y'all. I have been learning on how to write a good and enticing ebook. Yes, I have been writing articles for client before, but wanted to delve into writing ebooks. One day, as I was doing my bidding spree, I saw an attractive job posting on Upwork; the client was looking for ebook writers. Well, I said to myself 'let me try my luck,' lo and behold, I was invited for an interview. But, the problem is the employer wants me to send him an ebook representing a sample of what I have written before; and I don't have it. What should I do? Tell him I have no sample, or ignore his message? Am just confused. Any help from this great thread ? Yes, I no I made a mistake of bidding without samples- so, don't capitalise on that. What can be done? Thanks.

Hello guys, I nid ur help. I randomly bided for a job at Upwork. The job is about writing an ebook. I least expected that I would be called for an interview. I was surprised when I got a mail; the client said he would like to review a sample of my previous work b4 awarding me the contract. The probs is, I don't ve any sample, but I can write a good ebook-I think so. So what should I do? The man is ready to pay a good moola. And he's looking for many writers, and I would like to be among them. Any help or suggestions. Pls help a Brother.

By one skill in one category... U mean E. G in the advertising category, theres the S. E. O, S. M. M ... Writing there are article, technical, copy, creative...

exactly, that's what I mean. In advertising Category, you nid to choose one sub-catigory like SEO, Or in the writing category, you jst choose web content or creative writing. Dont't choose two; like creative writing and web content writing. Just choose one of the twain.

@toch1997, and all those having problem with Upwork approving their profile. This is what I think: firstly, Upwork is now reviewing new freelancers' profile. The major reason, is basically to prevent freelancers from being jack of all trade. What are my saying?:-/ You can't choose skills from different categories. You are only allowed to tick one skill from one categories. If you tick other skills, your profile will automatically be rejected. I think they have programmed a bot that will instanty send you amessage in your email that you've been rejected. My advice; tick one skill, ensure your profile is in good shape, then re-submit your profile, I bet they will accept you. How will you know if they accept you? They might allow you to bid for work almost immediately, or send you a notification that you have been accepted. After you have been accepted, you can now complete your profile by adding other skills in the "add other skills" section. Note: you add skills in this section, not tick skills. This was what I did, and I was accepted after several rejection. Try it, and let us know how it went.

Oh boy!when will i join this boat?;-( well, let me just shill, and wait for d arrival of my lappy.

Wow! Thats nice. We are following u bumper 2 bumper.

Bros con finish watin u start o

Bro, u too much o ride on, we are with you

Thank you for the reasuring answer to my question. Pls update more tips soonest.

Thanks for the info, and God bless. But, we have been breast-fed with the notion that you can hardly make it on fiverr as a Nigerian, let alone using a real picture of urself as a male. How can you outwit this concept that has already been digested by all fiverr aspirants. How did u make a killing as a Nigerian?. How did u jump the scandalous image being impeded in us by the white.

Ok, pls we are waiting earnestly. Dont 4get to continue.

Same with me. Our nysc state cordinator in imo state said that it wud be rectified soon. Most of us affected were from union and diamond banks. I hope they find a solution to this ish.

Dear Nairaland Members,

How do one transfer money to someone in the US with less charges, just did pay pal and the amount was so disturbing 150 dollars was 31,685 + Fees 12,186= 43,871 in Naira equivalent

one of the major reasons for the high rate is due to the continues disparity btw naira to dollar and it restriction. The best optn rite nw is tru exchanges houses-we have reputable ones here on nairaland. All you jst nid is to open a perfectmoney acount, and d person u'r sendy to, shud also do dsame, and the d exchanger sends d money into ur pm act, whch u later snd to ur d other party. Or the exchangers can send d money directly to ur frnd acct after givn dm his dtails. This also applies to using bitcoin.

Seconded! Using paypal is nice Or use bitcoin if your forex platform accept bitcoin.
