ladywriter:
Oga mi. A big congratulations to you. Na now you start work. One thing though - you must always log in to freelancer. The notifications for recruiter projects are sent directly to your FL inbox. You will not see it in your mail inbox. All the best!

Thank you ma

Marriage does not cure loneliness, if that is the only reason for getting married then take a chill Pepsi big bottle and relax because many are married and still lonely.. Secondly, what people say or think about you at 37 should not be your business, neither should it force you to get married... Bro i simply want you marry because you understand the purpose of the contract called marriage.. "Solitude is a gift".

deeptesting, that's DEEP! Thanks. Hope your health is much better. We miss you at the dog thread

Follow your employers

An onion seller suddenly noticed she has not seen a particular customer for a while, so she called the customer to find out if everything was okay. The customer was genuinely happy that the seller called. She also remembered HOW GOOD HER PRICES AND SERVICES were. Though she had no immediate need for onions, she told the seller that she will send her daughter to get some onions from her.

This may sound like an anecdote, but we all can learn from this. In this age and time, effective communication is about all we need to maintain any type of relationship - business and informal. We have people calling up their garri, yam, oil sellers on the phone, and telling them what they want. They will also say they won't come and collect those items by themselves, rather they will send someone. It takes a HUGE CUSTOMER SERVICE on the part of the seller to gain such TRUST

Bringing it nearer home, I will dwell on a little point that will highlight the importance of the bolded above.

How many of us are following our employers on FL? If you are not, you are missing a golden opportunity. But wait..... slow down. The hard work comes first.

Without GOOD PRICING, GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE, and TRUST, following your employer will not be of any benefit.

How many of us have bought an item from the market, and later saw where it was sold for 0.50k cheaper. Most times we feel we have been cheated without even checking if the QUALITY of the second item is the same as the one we bought. That is human nature.

Do you know that the gain market women make onba carton of beloxxi cream crackers is not up to N50? Why do they do this. They know they are in it FOR A LONG TIME. They know they are in a relationship-building venture. They know the only thing that can sustain them is a repeat customer. They know they can acquire many repeat customers by providing good prices, great customer services and trust.

So I ask, "how do you see your FL business?" How often have you seen a palm oil seller also selling cosmetics? As local and rustic as she may be, she knows her skill and specialization, and faces it with her full energy. Yes she knows that the restaurant woman down the road may be making more money, but she will never judge her the success of her palm oil business with the crowd in that restaurant.

I have seen many of us feel like they are wasting time with article writing because of the pay. Human nature. We've all been there. But do you realise that if you face article writing alone, and become so good at it, you can score writing projects of 100usd per 500 words. YES!! .....I know what you are thinking now. (On Freelancer?) NO!

Like ladywriter always say, article writing is like getting one's feet wet on FL. You are learning a whole business. You are learning pricing mechanics, customer service, skill development, international trade and finance etc. It is like any brick and mortar business.

You have American employers, how many of them did you send greetings on July 4? Or you do not even know what July 4 means to Americans?

If you do not want to get frustrated, have a realistic expectation. Do you know it takes some businesses from 6 to 12 months to break even, not to talk of profit? Patience man......patience woman. Rome was not built in a day. Do not take on skills you do not have passion for, just because you see someone making big from it. You may never be as successful. That person may have started 2 years ago. Pasion kept him that long. Are you willing to do it for 2 years before attaining that person's current success?

By all means, learn new skills. But make sure you are passionate in all. Passion is the only thing that will make you go the extra mile in satisfying your employers. Passion is the only thing that will keep you going when no jobs are forthcoming.

Following.

I may seem to have veered from the main thing I wanted to point out here, but all I have said so far MUST be realized before you can benefit from following your employer.

Once an employer you are following posts a new project, you will get a notification in your email with respect to that. FL will always tell us that our chances of getting hired by a former employer is very much higher than that of someone we have never worked for before.

Once you get the email alert, quickly check the project to see if it is within your skill and ability. If it is, then bid. This is where your integrity as a seller will either make you or mar you. If you have satisfied the employer previously, your chance of getting selected is high. If not, to your tents.......

I did a job for someone earlier this year. It was a Master's degree thesis. He wanted me to reduce the plagiarism content to less than 10% using Turnitin plagiarism tool. Only about 30% of the whole thesis was affected so it wasn't really a big deal. At my former rate of 2usd/500 words then, the worth of the project shouldn't be more than 50usd, and I could have finished it under 5 days. He simply told me he needed it in 2 weeks and offerred 80usd.

I did it in7 days, submitted it on the 10th day beating his expectations. His feedback was out of this world. We struck a good rapport.

He disappeared from my radar, and just last Monday, he posted a new project. I got the email alert and saw it was something I could do.

I decided not to bid. I rather elected to chat with him instead. (Please note that I have been sending hellos to him for months but no reply).

I started the chat and he was so happy. He immediately told me he just posted a project. He shared the details with me and asked if I can take it up though he only has 25usd budgeted for it. This is a simple proofreading of about 1000words job application letter.

He wanted it in 24 hours. I delivered in less than 11 hours.

They say, "Think outside the box."

I say, "Think like there is NO box."

Shalom.

PS: Pardon any typo or grammatical blunders above. As there is no milestone set here, I refuse to accept its proofreading.

I first posted this on August 14, 2015. Page 97

Repeated for the benefit of all. 4 months down the line, it is still evergreen.

Read and glean.

In similar vein, how many of you have sent season's greetings to your clients? Go to your inbox and send out greetings to ALL the people you have ever chatted with on FL.

I just did and got a $400 project from a satisfied client. Delivery time mid january. FULL milestone set. I know I can deliver this in 10 days.

Miracles still happen.

Shalom.

PS: Just got a $20 tip on a $30 1500words rewrite. God's zoom lens of blessing is upon me. When it rains, it pours! Honesty pays.

I know this is just the beginning. Better days ahead.

My motivation? God and my signature.

mzvyne:
I don't believe I need anybody's 'consent' but God's. Mom and Dad shud better pray I don't fall in love with one they term an 'OSU'... Cos neither hell nor highwaters will deter me.

Be careful what you pray for. You might just get it.

donTbone:
Yes, but the advice of the spiritual head cant still be overlooked!

Advice is not the same with consent or blessing.

Dbaroness:
Pls what is this OP thing i always see here? Wat does it mean?

how old are you please

donTbone:
Note this:
Before getting married to anyone, those that must give you their consent are;

1. you pastor or spiritual leader
2. parents
3. siblings
4. closest friends

If any of the above shouldnt concur, see to their reason and have a rethink!

please grant me the permission to use it on my own signature.. *winks*

To avoid being charged with plagiarism, please cite the author. Lol

dasanchez1:
Congratulations bro...

one thing I learned from you is your signature," Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care".

Hey thanks bro. Lol. It's quite apt in this selfish world. I have learnt that one can never receive with a clenched fist.

To God be the glory! I am ending this year STRONG! This means next year will start STRONGER and BETTER!

Ladywriter thanks to you, I finally got my Preferred Freelancer badge

Hi, I need an experienced writer to write 1500 words on health niche. Send email to destyhealth@gmail.com

what's the pay

donestk:
Each time I board a bus or keke and try to start a conversation with a girl, one way or the other she ends up paying my transport fare.

Even when I get her number and try to follow up, she will eventually tell me she's in a relationship.

Am beginning to find it embarrassing as it repeated last night.

Guys, have you experienced same?

Babes, what's really the motive of paying a dude's t-fare with no strings attached?

Sounds like a cub targeting a cougar.

Hypothetically speaking, if your penis was cut off along with your testicles by an assailant, with no option of surgical reattachment, what will you do?

Is this the way your brain is wired? You really need to cut off your brain - not hypothetically. Low IQ
