some employers can be devilish. Even as a new commer, I know that much from comments here and my litle experience on freelancer. We learn from it noni. My indian employer finally paid my 10 dollars. I had a lot of reasons to get angry and insult him. 9 out of ten times, I wouldnt take the rubish but I just had to. They know the power they have and some will blackmail you with it. The guy was telling me "If you argue with me, i wont release you mile stone and will not mark the project completed and it will show on your profile.....". He later gave me a good review, as if he wasnt a pain in the ass. He almost demanded that i gave him a review too. Even though I dislike him, i still gave him an excellent review in exchange for one myself. I advise you to be more tolerant. In a forum like Nairaland, if you insult me, i go talk my own but on freelancer when money is involved and u have the advantage, i will tell you "sorry sir!" After i get my money and the project is closed, if am still angry then i can ...........

All in all, i believe your positive ratings and your response will help you convince potential customers.

Well said. Thanks.

ladywriter:
There is a way you can respond to the feedback and it will appear on your profile page. So that other employers will read your own part of the story. I will try and remember the process.

Yes I know the way and I have done it. I was actually saying there is no way for the freelancer to give a rating will appear on the employer's profile page.

Hello all. Hope we are all digging in. I thought I should share an experience I had today on Freelancer here so that we may learn a thing or two from it. This is because sometimes, when transacting business online, we tend to forget it should conform to the same business ethics we usually insist on when handling offline/face to face businesses.

An employer engaged me several days ago for a 3-part writing project of 250 words each - content for his website. I delivered, he was happy, offered another similar batch, which I also did. The 6 articles are live on his site. For each of the 2 batches, I asked for milestone creation, which he did and have released all.

This morning, he contacted me under the same project (which by the way was still IN PROGRESS because it was meant to be an ongoing one), proposing another assignment somehow different from the original project description. This one was for 30 articles of 45 words each. He made an offer and I consented. I then requested for milestone creation and he started talking about trust, that I should not fear 'cos he will pay me after the project is done. I refused. Now, I didn't even know that he had gone ahead to create milestone (I was on mobile so probably didn't see the email notification).

Next thing, he started talking in an arrogant and condescending manner, saying that after I finish with this, he will have to engage his other writers for future projects. I told him he shouldn't speak as if I don't even have a choice of accepting or rejecting the work, and that it's not as if I am begging for work, after all this is a business from which both of us are benefiting.

The guy come vex oooo say e no dey work with me again. I tell am fine make he kukuma end d project since the thing wey make am create am don finish, cos this one wey he bring now na anoda matter.

Lol. Well he opened a dispute for his milestone, which I agreed to. The thing we tire me be say, he went ahead to mark the project as incomplete and gave me a rating of 1.8 claiming that my writing was below average. I was livid! Can you imagine the audacity? Anyway I have responded to the feedback comment but I wonder why Freelancer seem to protect the employer in such cases. Freelancers do not have a way of rating the employer when an incomplete report is given. Those red comments ought to appear on the employer's profile too.

Lesson:

I know sometimes we take the risk of overlooking certain things just because we feel we can trust someone, or because they have not defaulted in the past. But I believe it is good we have a standard and stick to it.

One thing I will advise us all, especially in line with what ladywriter said about insisting you get reviews from completed projects is that, once the terms of a project changes, request for that particular project to be ended, and another one opened for the fresh project. This way, you stand a better chance of getting the reviews you deserve. Some employers are funny. They will be clear initially, but as time goes on, they may start putting in other requirements that may affect the quality of your work and they will use it to judge the whole project.

We shall get there. Shalom.

Do not work for Indians, Pakistanis and Americans. They are the rudest bunch you can meet there. Why would you even be willing to earn $10 for 15 articles? Slave wages.

Don't generalise. My best employer is from India. I also have another good one from US. As a beginner seeking for reviews, his rates are "okay." I believe he will step up once he has proven his worth - which I have done.
As you keep improving, your project selection indices will improve.

FKO1:
Like you would expect from Ghanaians.. Most of the comments are preposterous, ridiculous, ludicrous, farcical, laughable, risible, idiotic, stupid, foolish, silly, inane, imbecilic, insane, cockamamie and harebrained

Chei! What type of English are these Ghanaians speaking?

cutieme:
@Tranxo,please bro can u mentor and teach me how to go about being a freelancer please.I want to earn cash legally please bro.

Hello, how are you? I suggest you first read from the first page if you have not done so already. Then feel free to ask whatever questions you have here on the thread. Not only will you get assistance from the many mentors here, other newbies will also benefit from the interaction.

Where can I get a pouch for this phone?

Readers of this thread are adults who know their left from their right.

It's a list building link so what? Who doesn't build lists? All successful netreprenuers build lists and except he has asked for payment(which you can decide not to pay for if you choose), then you have no right to make it seem like he's doing anything wrong.


Why didn't you attack others before him? Or the guy who was advertising book covers yesterday?

Stop trying to limit people from accessing information that would help them.

I have helped people on this thread FOR FREE in the past and i have taken Payments from some. It all depends on the time and level of comittment, same with the originator of this thread.

What else?

Last bullet-: Black men should try to emulate the whites, they uplift one another not try to bring one another down because they feel threatened.

Stop smarting, and you MAY see clearer.

deeptesting:
Yeah he got tired chasing.

No picture, no flavour. Why have you reduced the frequency of pics?

cremeandchic:
You guys should take it easy on this thread really and remember that Nairaland is not anyones property(except Seun). It's a general forum.

The guy is advertising his website where people can find information about blogging, information marketing and stuff and you are shooing him away. Is it a lie that people can make money from these things?

Make una take am easy abeg. Live and let live, there are no thread landlords here. it's the people who contribute to a thread that make the thread.

The only people you should be shooing away are thread spammers and derailers not people who are also trying to do what you created this thread for -Pass information accross.

Are you for real?! I really had the urge not to respond but I had to kill it because your comment didn't actually dwell on the quality of that spam - yes IT IS SPAM, but rather on other personal issues on your mind. Thread landlord? That's cheap, and a matter for another day.

So, did you check the profile of your philanthropist? Did you check his or her posts? Did you even bother clicking that smart link (which is no where near anything smart) before concluding that he wants to "help?" Common sense tells us that he is leading us to a list building site, and we know lists are basically for one purpose - sales. Have we forgotten the origin of this particular thread, the intentions of ladywriter, and the need to keep it that way?

Opening a thread is as free as air and I see no reason why we should allow spammers and derailers on this thread when they can conveniently open as many threads as they want to their heart's content. People who want to peddle any ware in any guise should do so outside this thread unless the owner of the thread thinks otherwise.

Yes, I am not Seun, and I don't own Nairaland, but I am a landlord of some sort on this thread, and I can't stand by and watch it spammed to death. We have all benefited FOR FREE from this thread and should naturally give back as much as we can. People should be able to find information the thread was created for, easily, without having to go through a heap of rubbish.

Last bullet: I expected better from you. Just saying. Nothing personal.

ladywriter:

I am not sure if it is still a news that some guys just created a WordPress plug-in that help you to create a e-commerce store in just 5 minutes.

This stores are the likes of jumia,konga and the rest we see online this days.

This plug-in is well integrated with the popular aliexpress site.

Therefore aliexpress takes care of all the work part of sending the products bought on your site or store to the buyer.

The software automatically makes you an affiliate of aliexpress once you install the plug-in.

To get from me a detailed FREE report on how to get the software reach me at onetplus2014@gmail.com

This is the link.

@sainst2, sorry I could not attend to your question yesterday. Please start with writing so you can hone your skill, you will need excellent writing skills in research (though not in all kinds of research). You will also need a laptop (though some people use their phones). Search through the thread and read and then register on freelancer and start asap. Wish you all the best!

It all depends on your dexterity with typing on a tablet.

I don't expect the guy to buy spend that much, that means he is a rich illiterate. With inverters powered by solar energy everywhere, I don't expect a sensible human being to waste such money on fuelling generator.

what will be the cost of setting up an inverter utility that can power a 30 room hotel for 24 hours?

What a liar this basket mouth is, just like all these lying celebrities. I own a factory and my combined bills for the place, my office and home do not even come near to half that amount. Liar!
