Men, Solid info you served rn. Thanks so much venzal. Please, I'd like to ask: is it wise to pick a niche from the onset on a site like fiverr, when I don't have any reviews or testimonial? Or It's better I start as a general email copywriter then niche-down once I have one or two reviews. |
Juliusmomoh:Checked up why? |
Venzal:Thank you bro. The fight is against poverty! |
Juliusmomoh:Don't be ignorant. There are over 200milion people living in Nigeria, and there are less than 12,000 corona virus positive people in the same Nigeria. The probability you'll know someone with the virus is less than 0.00006%. My friend and her dad died of covid-19 last week. |
Happy Sunday people. While we await oga Venzal's highly anticipated lectures tomorrow, try going through this old Upwork thread. It will help you understand more about Upwork and copywriting in general. https://www.nairaland.com/4903249/make-5k-per-month-2019 PS: I'm not trying to disrupt the flow of lectures here.The thread helped me when I was starting out and I believe it will others understand better when venzal starts going in details. |
shotanny:Personally, I have a professional website. If you don't have a website then put the link to your Linkedin profile. If you still don't have a LinkedIn account just leave it blank. |

Olawrites:Nice |
Olawrites:Amen oo |
Olawrites:Open a new one. Clients can't see your complete profile, so it will be harder getting hired |
OYENIYIJK:Sure, I'll help in any way I can. $15 is okay if you set your skill level to beginner, if you set it to intermediate then increase it to atleast $20 Only God know when o bro. Don't bid for jobs now. Do not waste your free 20 connects. I'm sure Venzal will talk about how to craft job-winning proposals. |
OYENIYIJK:They ask for it immediately you get your first job. You have to verify before you withdraw any earning |
Olawrites:They verify with video calls o |
mrsteel:Use your real name and real picture, You'll be required to verify your account with your government issued ID and video call |
Upwork is allowing everyone on their platform right now, I guess it's their way of assisting the high number of people that lost their jobs during this pandemic or maybe it's just their own way of supporting the work at home initiative. To get approved, follow the steps in oga Venzal's video. If you can't get a custom email use your regular gmail. |
blithe:Use your normal gmail, I guess Upwork is allowing everyone in because of the pandemic and millions of job lost in the US. |
Lol. I've done lots of things oh. Weirdest food I've eaten to survive: Garri 3x for 1 week. I've also used palm oil, salt and fresh pepper as soup to eat eba. Weird job I've done for money: Conductor, Laybuke(Serving a brick layer). Funny enough did all this when I was below 16. Stupid 'est' decision I've made to survive: Beg online for money, happened in 2017 when I was in 200L. I still regret it whenever I think of it. Worse thing I've done to survive: Skip one semester of school to go learn Yahoo. LOL. Stupid young Me , abandoning a 4.51cgpa to go learn fraud.That's all I think! Did yahoo pay? No Do I have regrets? Yes! Did I survive? Yes! Did life get better? 1000× Will I do them again? Yes! Survival is a must! |
OYENIYIJK: welcome bro |
AdoreHim:Both are platforms for freelancers. I'll try to simplify. Think of a market, Yes, that market you go to buy foodstuff. When you need yams you go to the market to buy, when you need tomatoes you go to the market to buy. When you go to the market you see different yam seller, you don't just buy from anybody. You look around for the biggest and best yams to buy. When you get a good deal from the seller, you pay and take your yams home to enjoy. Upwork is that marketplace, you are the seller, and in this case your yam is email copywriting. Buyers that need email copy will come and buy your work. If you can convince them you will deliver the best work they will pay you for it. The same way you go and buy yams from the same seller next time when you enjoyed the yams, it's the same way a client will keep coming to buy your services when you deliver the best. Fiverr works on the same principle too. Use google for more in-depth explanations |
Lastly don't pay anyone to open an Upwork account for you!! simply go on www.upwork.com. Click Signup, Fill every query accordingly, then Submit. You'll be approved instantly. |
Please do not use a foreign account on Upwork. They verify with your ID Card and Video call Besides you are building a business. Why start the foundations with lies?!. True, It's hard to many money online as a Nigerian (No thanks to our yahoo boys and girls), but it's not impossible. If you are good at what you do clients will pay for your services |
Thank you so much for creating this thread venzal. I think I have a lot to learn from I'm a new copywriter on upwork myself and I'll try to help answer others here in whatever way I can when I'm free. For those not sure on what platform to use, I strongly recommend UPWORK. Upwork right now is a premium platform and have better paying clients. Fiverr is good too but, personally, I don't like the idea, that, I must starting selling at $5 I don't know much about Freelancer, so I can't say The true is what works for one person may not work for another person, so explore all three options and see what's best for you |
Na only Warri get this kind mind |
I don't know much about your intended business but I'll just chip in one or two thoughts of mine. 1. What's the average a DJ earns each weekend? I think DJ's are paid anywhere from 30k to 500k per event. Mostly the size and class of the event determines pay. 2. The DJ's renting your equipment will definitely be on the lower end of the earning spectrum, as I believe professional Dj's that command 200k and above per event can afford, and will definitely want to use their own equipments. 3. So if you're renting to upcoming Dj's i doubt you'll make that much each week. 4. Equipments starts to break down over time. So are you sure you'll recoup your investments within the first 2 years? 'Cause a typical Nigerian won't care about maintenance if its not his property. |
