please i've been trying to link my new master card to my paypal account buh they keep requesting for a four digit paypal code and i just dont know where i can find this code and paypal keeps making diductions from my account funny enough this money does not reflect in my paypal account. The've diducted about 8.5k from my account. Please where can i find this four digit code they claim i need to enter to complite my verification? Thanks

Woww! 8,500? Are you sure all were from Paypal? I was only charged the equivalent of 1.94USD which was later refunded.

Check the alert on your phone. Within the narration, you will see PAYPAL with some numbers. That's the 4 digit number you are looking for.

Awww, i have a day job too o.

But no problem, you can join the next batch. We'll see what we can do to make things a bit more flexible.

Thanks. Awesome! One other thing. How are hourly projects done? Is it that one must be logged on to execute it? Is there a timer on the site for this?

Oga Tranxo, working for people outside freelancer is risky- you could get burnt. But that is what i have been doing for a while now and i have never gotten burnt.

In my case, what i did was to create a verified U.S.A Paypal account. A Nigerian guy did it for me and i think i paid 8k or so. The PayPal account must never be opened with a Nigerian IP address. So, you must subscribe for a monthly proxy server (VPN) which would mask your server and make it seem like you are browsing from the U.S or U.K. This way, you would be able to avoid your PayPal account getting blocked.

Method 2

If you have someone living in the US that you trust, you can ask for their PayPal account and provide same to your employers for payment. When you are ready to withdraw your money, just contact one of these money exchangers on Nairaland. Standardgoldng or any other one you choose. The owner of the PayPal account would transfer the money to Standardgoldng who will in turn pay the naira equivalent into your Nigerian bank account. But i should warn you, their exchange rate is crappy; about 150 dollars to a Naira or thereabout.

Method 3

There are some people who specifically offer these services. They provide you with their PayPal addresses, receive the money on your behalf and pay you the naira equivalent. But the same problem of crappy exchange rate applies. If you need more info- send me a mail on cremeandchic@gmail.com.

Wow! That was loaded! Daalu. I will definitely get in touch with you if I eventually have a cause to take the leap.

Pity your free writing course doesn't fit my schedule. Some of us are not full time freelancers, and 6pm isn't that favourable for me. I wonder if people like me will get any consideration in this regard.

ladywriter:
No, I am not. I don't work for people outside freelancer. Partly because of payment issues and all that. However, I am trying to set up a payment procedure that will allow me to do that on my new website. So, Cremandchic can help you in this regard. She has done a lot of business outside freelancer.com

...Thank you. Though I don't have immediate plans to go down that road, I just want to know the available options. I have really learnt a lot these past few days. Tons of priceless info at the Community section.
Do you remember the job I told you I accepted without the buyer setting a milestone? After days of no communication from him, I made a complaint to support. They had to mail him to cancel the project, or they would cancel it themselves. He did that within 24hrs and guess what, I was refunded the USD5 project fee.

I really wasted my bids oooo but I'm more focused now. Gone from searching for 1 review to having 3 completed projects in the bag. All from a niche I never knew I was good at.

I took the free 1 month trial with the hope of cancelling it before renewal. But the little coins in my account will take care of it. I am still learning the ropes but my focus now is to reinvest and build my reputation. Very soon I'll be stepping up my game. I can't believe I've had the account since 2010.

Thanks to you for changing it all within 2 week. God has lifted you up already!

I just felt like sharing with you guys again on the need to upgrade your knowledge. Have you ever noticed that when you desire something, you start seeing it all around you. Let me be more clearer. For instance, if you are looking forward to buying a Lexus Jeep or any other car model (sorry, i don't know much about car models), you start seeing it on the road and each time you see it, your desire increases. Another example, if you are newly married and looking forward to getting pregnant, you discover that any corner you turn, you start noticing pregnant women. The fact is, those Lexus jeeps have been plying the road without you taking a conscious look for a long time before you developed the interest. Pregnant women have been walking past you for decades without you noticing them. However, because it is dominant in your thought, you start seeing it everywhere around you.

I used these scenarios to explain my next point. If you upgrade your skills, you start seeing projects (opportunities) along that line. Recently, I have been doing that, I needed to upgrade my skills. So, I embarked on a massive research, got lots of e-books in the niche and read like there is no tomorrow. Guess what, each time I logged into freelancer, I stumbled upon projects requesting for this same skill and i wondered why I have not been seeing them before now. Is it because they have not been posting such projects, no. The problem is with me, I have to upgrade my skills to see opportunities in that niche. Is the project fee the same with my other skills, No. It is much, much more. It is a professional skill.

This is the reason why I keep telling you guys to upgrade your skill, desire to be better, to go higher where you will need to work less and earn more. The year is ending again, you must scale high for next year. Don't be afraid to make a change, strive higher and you will be glad you did. Enjoy you day!

You are ignoring my question?

Good news.

THE Federal Government yesterday reopened the cargo shed of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos which it shut two weeks ago. The terminal was opened a few minutes to 12pm after the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), “broke the seal” which signified that the place is now open for normal business transaction.

Confirming the development, NCS Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos Command, Public Relations Officer, Mrs. Thelma Williams told The Guardian yesterday that the shed “is now open for business” Sources said the Comptroller General of Customs, Dikko Inde Abdullahi, personally visited the terminal yesterday to order the reopening after undertaking a tour of NAHCO Aviance ultra modern warehouse and tarmac where tonnes of cargo are stockpiled.

But she added that only agents that have been registered and thoroughly verified would be allowed access to the sheds, adding that from now on, it will no longer be business as usual, since those who have no business around the terminal would not be granted any further permit to the area.


When The Guardian visited the cargo sheds yesterday afternoon, it was observed that skeletal services were being offered as not too many knew that the terminal had been opened.

Hello folks,

For those of you who have repeat employers on Freelancer.com giving them projects outside the site, how do you receive payments from them? Also, what's the arrangement like, is it strictly on pay after submission or do you have some form of escrow for reduced risk?

Thanks.

Hmmm, sex is as old as the earth.

I don't mean to debunk any of your claims about sex , we have different perspective towards it .Well, I'm not advocating for premarital sex ...As long as people of legal age have sex without not seeing other as a sex object, I don't see it as immoral. The real decay of premarital sex is having un-wanted pregnancy,abortions and diseases.

....jump down from the fence and stop deceiving YOURSELF.

@tranxo

Good morning, take a look at the thread topic. It's Writing, not Writting. I guess my proofreading skill just went up a notch. Lol. Don't abandon this thread ooo. Very soon I'll share my experiences on the journey to my first job, pay and a 5-star review. Kudos to all the die-hards!

ladywriter:
@tranxo, yes, you can create a receipt for an hourly project, so that your employer can pay through it. The payment can also be made without an invoice. Some employers also request for it to be sure of the hours you spent while working on the project.

ok I see. I just got paid for my first project. 5 star review.....then got invited by another employer to bid on his project. Thanks my mentor,!

[quote author=ladywriter post=28453427][/quote]After I have submitted a completed work to an employer, I requested for milestone release. What is the role of invoice? Do I need to create one? Guide me on this please.

I am available for any article rewriting project. Copyscape Premium pass - assured.

the customs wahala didn't affect you guys?

ladywriter:
Yeah, you are right. Ah, I think we are all different in life, some make it easily, others have to struggle before they do. Do you know most of the people I thought on Nairaland here have permanent clients on their list and some even make more than I do (within a short time)?. I fought with the only permanent guy I used to have when the guy's troubles were becoming unbearable . But, i am not discouraged, i have a goal and am working towards it gradually. The other day, i went out with my husband for shopping and while we were on the way, he said something that challenged me. He said, hmmm! if i know all you know about internet marketing, i won't be where you are today, i would have made it long time! That statement jolted me back to reality and I decided within me that next year will not be like this yeah, un un, i must go higher. Let the success of others challenge you to strive harder and before long you will come and testify.

WELL SAID!!! Now, it's official. You are my mentor. Like it or nor, I'm hugging your shadow.

ladywriter:
Bros, every business has a key that opens it up for you, look for the right key! The first thing you need to do is to search for information on the business - look for who has succeeded in it, what did they do? How did they do it? You may need to read their books, articles on the internet to find relevant information. Once you have the right knowledge, you can then follow their footsteps. That is the only shortcut i know to progress and success. You can't believe it if i tell you that i have been struggling with blogging for the past 3 years, i got frustrated and close down many blogs. Not until recently ( I mean some days ago), i decide to read books from successful bloggers, ooh oh mine and I discovered that i was just playing and calling it blogging. What did i do? I looked for books on the subject and read and read and read and i discovered where i missed it. I am tracing my way back now to make corrections. There are books you can read on my website, check them out. Making money online is hardwork, but very rewarding. All the best!

Lol...of course I know nothing comes easy. Just that while most of us hit pay dirt in the afternoon, there are some who got theirs in the morning. Learning and focus truly are the key. Thanks ma.

nnekamezor:
yes nw, bfr nko

lol...i wonder how she sleeps at night.

I just got approved by Payoneer. Expecting the card Dec. 29 - Jan. 5 as they said. Note that I applied last week, but also had to send a mail to nissimal@payoneer.com on Tuesday morning.

Still haven't landed a bid after more than 60 bids. Really not easy for a newbie without a review.

"Next thing, they saw my backpack in the car. We started fighting for it and then a hot punch to my face! Afta so much strugglin, they made away with my bag!

"Here's the best part; my bag had all my credit cards, my INTERNATIONAL PASSPORTS & Mac Powder! So at the moment, I'm very passport-less & visa-less! How the heck do I start getting all my visas? Plus my Mum's old passport was in d bag too!"
