More coming....

You sent a cover letter to me months ago but I just want buy my first domain, now my question is, how can I sell if I outbound, would I refer the person to where I bought the domain from, I'm buying from dynaot..


lastly, I wanted to register a domain name and I noticed the singular is up for sale on whois, is it advisable to still register it?

TommyAnthem:
Do they also accept voters card as a means of identification, cos that's all I have at moment.

yes, voter's card is very much accepted.

congratulations to everyone who used the coupon I dropped yesterday... You're welcome all.

Tannycouture:
Good Afternoon everyone,I opened a upwork account 2 weeks ago and it was approved but the issue now is that I’ve not gotten any order since then ,I’ve used all my connect to bid for project but still not getting anything ����
Please help a sister
Also I’ve a fiverr account ,but I’ve only gotten 2 order this year
Incase you’ve any idea on what to do please send a dm on WhatsApp
Thank you in anticipation ������

Read a few pages back... there are some information that will help you.



To everyone:- it cannot be overemphasized the need for a well written cover letter.

"https: // ebizfacts . com/ upwork-cover-letter /#1"
check out the above site in quote, there are a few cover letter samples there, just copy and paste but remove the space.


check "freelancetowin . com" also, it has useful information.




I hope not to get banned with that, I just can't use any other way.

PROMO FOR UPWORK CONNECT.

cs4_30c_2020

for those who wants to buy connect, use the above code, copy it into the promo box and apply for the 40 connects, $1.50 will be removed from your account and you'll get 40 connects.

be sure to confirm before paying, someone I know still used the code few days ago.


note:- $1.50 = #585 naira.

you can only use the code once.

Make una teach me how to edit name. I can edit others but name is the problem.

Go to profile settings, you can edit your name there but it takes 48 hours to reflect.

Millennialaku:
abeg make una no cast this thing for us wey dey wait for ve.nzal to round up before we create

just chill, everyone has his own race, that shouldn't deter you. Focus on YOU, there's no competition. Just research more, there are blogs about freelancing, go to google and search so that whenever you create, you'll be fully ready.





I'll keep saying, patience is KEY. Some were fortunate to get a job under their first week, others waited a few months. You just have to keep trying.

Valwezzy:
Yeah, that's why many top freelancers won't recommend Upwork for us, the beginners.

Even their service charge 20% is on the high side. The only good thing about them is that you'll see enough jobs to apply to.

Hopefully, you'll get a job before you exhaust your free connects.

well, you have to keep trying, I opened an account and within 2 weeks of my first job proposal, I got 2 jobs of $60, I don't think you can get that as a starter on Fiverr with 2 jobs.

shakyum:
I pray so, I am left with 11. I wont send any proposal until I learn how to send and win a job

search Google on how to make an Upwork cover letter. you will see many samples online, I've gotten a couple of jobs with the samples and it built my profile, the most important thing is just the first job.
Give your all for that first job to get a good review and your every other job, be patient as well.

I applied an average of 2 jobs a day with my proposal well written, I did not copy and paste, I read the instructions and follow up the details. I even got rejected once because I didn't follow somethings on the job post.

I'm just saying, the most important thing is learning how to write a cover letter and not just applying for any project you see, that way your connect will get exhausted.

Millennialaku:
PLZ BOSSES IN THE HOUSE

what are the best means of identification that can be used to get verified on upwork

i need to start looking for a way to get one even if its forged ......... this is the only thing giving me headache


cc venzal olawrites adsmaster chasevibes

driver's license, national ID card or voter's card, international passport.
these are the ones you need, if you run a Nigerian account. just have one of these and you're good to go, also, you will go through a video call verification but that one no hard.
I don't know about foreign account.

good morning everyone, nice thread by our Oga, I remember back then on Fiverr, very frustrating, upwork can lift one, faster.

I run an Upwork account and I lost my only means of verification.. how can I get this ID verification done. I'm done with the video verification, it's just the ID, it is a Nigerian account.

shakyum:
even if I don't have sales on upwork yet, will I still need to buy connect when I exhaust them?

yes, you still need to buy more to send proposals.

A fall from Grace. (2020)

4/10

it's a fine movie, but so predictable..
more like a waste of time watching all, when you can watch the beginning, midpoint, end and still get the movie.

azubix:
So bad. These are the things making visa difficult to access by Nigerian. Every country is afraid of us. Its too bad.

I swear, I'm tired. they are constantly blocking the path of genuine people, I really I'm angry... there was a time being Nigerian mean a lot, now, it's not even worth beating the chest for.

WhyNa:
We're saying the visa situation for Nigerians isn't favourable and now this?

to think Vietnam change laws at will, I hope this won't affect us willing to start our process from next year.

by the way, well done and thank you for this beautiful thread... I hope to join the "japa" squad as well...
been following this thread for months, just had to say hi to you.
stay safe.

paulolee:
thats whatsup..even at that age he ia still number 9..I dare any player to remain at top 50 when they clocks 35...its too impossible because at that age all players are on the last sparn of thier carear and thinking od switching to smaller club or to asia because u cant get game time easily at dt age.

Ronaldo is there na and he's past 35.

I'm just pointing out the obvious, from the thread's topic.

paulolee:
kk i jus modified...i mean to say top10...my mistake..

for where...that would be really hard...

football value is age oriented na, the younger your age, the higher your value with talent...


imagine the current world best is still no. 9, it doesn't mean Mbappe is better than Messi na, infact even at 20, Messi was frightening than him, Ronaldo was already a beast as well....

I don't really buy the Neymar and sterling same value though... the only reason Neymar shouldn't top that list is his age, aside that, he is the best after Ororo and Messi.

so na so e be sha.

Ishilove:
There is a point to the movie. You just have to list en carefully and not be distracted by all the colour.

I'd watch again... too many beauties to distract for one movie jare...

I rate everything else high, it's just the plot that's a miss to me..

the acting was good, cinematography, stunts and others..

I don't get it though, does a dark movie have to be dark, literally?

I need to know biko.

Ishilove:
Birds of Prey and The Fantabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn-

Hilarious movie!

I give the soundtracks 9/10 for being so super dope, 9/10 for the colourful and stunning visuals, 8.5 for very cool stunts and fight sequences, 7.5 for the laughs and 6 for the storyline. Yes, women can be strong and independent, yeah we get it. It is a man's world but it is nothing without women. It's so cliche.

In all, very, VERY entertaining. Definitely worth a rewatch.

Spoiler alert-





Is Canary Bird a super hero or something? What's with the supersonic, blasting voice?

wow...
I never thought I'd see someone who liked this movie...

I'm not even being bias, I like Margot, and I also like that Asian actress that was an ex to the black woman..

the movie just seem to have no point, it seemed rushed.

if they make a second part though, I'll gladly watch it.... I like Margot playing Harley Quinn.. she's so good with it.

Ishilove:
It's a 21st century version of the story, complete with the ideals and technology.

oh, I'll try to see it then.


secret life of pets 2 (animation):-
6/10

Kevin Hart voiceover in this film was very good. This is a very enjoyable movie, not as good as the first part though.

About Last Night (rom-com):-
7/10
This movie is so funny, Kevin Hart killed this with Regina Hall... their chemistry and performance together was really good.

Fikayo106:
Why am I seeing Futminna butterfly building here?

I noticed that too. I want to believe they have theirs as well...

since they're both F.U.T they may be built alike...the colours look same too.

Ishilove:
The Little Women I watched was different from this one but still enjoyable. It was made in 2018 and featured lesser known actors

There is another one?

Please review it, with a little snip also.

Osasnidas:
okay good one... Anyway there is the may security patch available... Have you been able to update it?... Mine is not working

nope, I have seen the may security patch.....

it's still going well, except the notifications, I'm not bothered though, I don't really fancy WhatsApp that much so I kinda like the way I don't get the messages but I'm so loving the dark mode in battery saver.

it seems the notifications ish is only WhatsApp, I get my Gmail notifications without opening it, I get telegram too.

Osasnidas:
notifications from 3rd party apps like WhatsApp won't come unless you open the app...

oh, okay then.


I just updated mine, make I see as e go be too.

BenDanor:
Mine isn't back. I just checked now. I'm fed up

oh...

I just updated mine..

I use Nokia 3.1plus... though I read that the 3rd wave will get to all phones, I don't know if this is the third, that's what I read online Sha.

Osasnidas:
Its great anyway.. but it comes with notification bugs...

please explain, notification bugs??

BenDanor:
I got mine and it vanished. Just checked right now and it isn't still there

I saw some people complain about that too...maybe it will come back.

I just saw mine today, after all this while...

I just got my Android 10 update...
Will update this night.

Osasnidas:
I downloaded the Ota file from a link i saw on Google... I sideloaded it by booting into recovery mode and installing it.. the file is 1.2gb..

Wow, that's nice.

I don't know how to do that, I'll wait for the update here jare...

Modified:- I just got my update too.


Seems it will be a long process that way.

Ishilove:
One of the most sensible, objective comments I've read on this thread thus far.

✌️✌️✌️


review:- The Proposal (2009) rewatch. romantic comedy.

7/10.

very funny rom-com, Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock really made this nice, fun to watch, I'm a big Ryan Reynolds' fan... this is one of his best work.



review:- Little Women (2019) drama.
8/10.

this drama is beautifully written... the acting was superb, I don't even know the lead actress before this movie but she was really good in it, Emma Watson also doesn't seem to age, good acting from her too.

Osasnidas:
I updated my Nokia 3.1 plus manually and it now runs on Android 10

wow, how did you do it.

I also use 3.1 plus...

anyone with 3.1 plus that has received the Android 10 update.... someone received it on Thursday but I haven't seen mine.

Mr Iyke, I'm really happy with what you're doing here, I'm so excited about it, I hope to contact you soon for more, I've been following you for about a year or more, I'm just not really ready or it still seems complex to me, trust me I've read this thread from beginning at first but still don't understand....




congratulations from the bottom of my heart...

more wins.

it's funny how contributing to this thread means 1) trolling 2) throwing tantrums 3) derailing 4) arguing baselessly etc.

imagine someone saying the people who don't contribute to this thread are the ones who are worried about future blah blah blah, the people who "contribute" to the thread barely contribute anything, they just derail and derail, I don't recall ever seeing hulk saying a movie he is watching which is the purpose of this thread.


I come to this thread to see a movie recommendation and also drop a review of my own, I respect some people here, they rate a movie even better than RT, they have a critical way of seeing a movie without bias and that's what we'll want to see more of here, instead, we go pages either with a DC-MARVEL argument or series argument when there's a thread for that.

and for people who are actually complaining about being banned, isn't derailing against the rules of nairaland, though they gave you another reason which is not quite right and it's understandable that you're furious or something but if I were the mod, I'd just say you derailed and that's it.



P.S:- what I just did is also derailing, I just need to pass that message.

DriggityDre:
What? How?

he had a serious car accident last year, it required a back surgery, he came out to even say the accident was more than reported, he said he couldn't move at first, then he had to lie to the hospital that he was no longer feeling much pain so he could continue trying to work, he was close to paralysis.

How disciplined are you?
How disciplined am I?

Time is the major thing a lot of us complained about not having, always using it as an excuse for our ignorance on things that we ought to know, now that you have had more than 2 months to yourself, how have you been able to use it?
Do you still lack the time to gather that very much required knowledge?
That business you wanted to start but your 9-5 is soaking up your time, have you laid down the plan?
Have you been able to appraise yourself with more technological aspects of your profession, what you can add to your skill and improve your experience and expertise?

If you haven't done all you claimed time deprived of you then you're just not disciplined. There isn't sufficient time to do anything but I can tell you that there's enough time to do whatever you had your mind on, if you spend just 30 minutes a day on all you want to work on, you will get the required result albeit in slow pace, you need to just keep focused and disciplined on it.
Many of us are still where we were before the lockdown and curfew couple of weeks ago, no improvement or addition to what we know or have.

I woke up to a message from someone a while back, and she made me understand how a lot of youths are just using school as an excuse to do "NOTHING" until they are done with their undergrad and discover that they have been so unprepared for life itself, even the schooling seems like a big chore to us except the fun part ofcourse. I could go on with this writeup but I think it's too early to bore anyone with a post as long as this.

Well, noone can spend your time if you don't allow it so watch who you let to use your time for you, maybe you're binge watching money heist, good luck with that, I just hope you're able to slip your career plan into it a few times so you'll be able to move ahead.
Keion Henderson said if you don't come out of this quarantine with a new skill, a side hustle or More knowledge, then you never lacked the time, you lacked DISCIPLINE.

I don't know if this is your conscience speaking but I can beg to please listen to it.
This message may come a little late in this crucial period but it's never too late to start.


Good day.

Stay safe everyone and lalasticlala.

Update your wifi driver.

If your wireless card is accessible at the back of the laptop like most fairly old laptops. Use screw driver to open the mini door and re insert the card.

I'll try to check it, if not I'll just get an engineer jare... thank you so much.
