at least 50k? Did you call freelance secondary source of income? It depends, for instance, I have made 1.2M in a month on Fiverr. It varies tho.

To me brother, because i have monthly paying job...

Well, I guess you try fiver but you need to be updated in terms of promoting and creating Gigs relating to your field.

I make over 350k per month from Upwork. That's not much because that's only $750. If you're serious and good at what you do, you can make up to $5k. I know what I'm saying.

I make at least 500k/per month on Fiverr (not steady)

That's great! I think the problem that is common to every freelancer that always complains is laziness. You must always be online and also try not to miss a chat for instance on Fiverr and you reduce sleeping all night. Creat heart-blowing gigs. Moreover, don't forget God in your equation. Remember you are not the only one on the platform. #Be prayerful and offer excellent jobs whenever the opportunity comes.

I resigned from my job to work as a full time freelancer. Been making nothing less than 500k/mo since last year and my life has changed. I'm into video editing/motion graphics/animations.

You need to up your game and make yourself competitive. Ditch saturated fields and ensure you send proposals till you get a job. As a newbie, it's hard to break in but once you do and can satisfy your clients, you won't have to be sending so many proposals again.

Also, ensure you have stable electricity ( solar inverter strongly recommended), fast internet and a good laptop. If not, you'll be missing deadlines due to NEPA wahala.

Upskill!
There are thousands who can write, do graphics design etc...

I personally also prefer Upwork to Fiverr. On Upwork you get gigs from big companies who pay well compared to individuals that pay peanuts on Fiverr. Stopped using Fiverr since last year.

life continues .... here to learn sha

Hmmm, there is so many things you need to know about freelancer work before you venture into it

Am a graphic designer / Virtual assistant. I have been in upwork and fiverr for a few months now. I have not landed any job yet.
To get a job on those site are very competitive.
It best to apply for job with ur skills on any company. It very difficult being a Nigerian trying to make it legitimate online.
I source for clients offline now, where I design products package, Flyers, Posters, Cover book and Newsletter. At least once a week. I get job from friends or on Facebook. Currently looking applying for jobs.
To get Jobs on fiverr or upwork u will have to do some work free and build up ur profile to show u have done such work before. Again u need to optimiz ur LinkedIn, Facebook and twitter. Have a portfolio profile and website.

There is a company looking for graphics designer. Visit scoutan.com

E no easy bros, especially with that Nigerian tag, no matter how good you think you might be so many things you aren't aware of can stop you from getting a job.

Lots of jobs popping up doesn't mean lots of jobs available.

Just as you are seeing plenty jobs there are thousands of other freelancers scrolling and applying for those jobs.

The market is sooo diluted right now.

This defeatist mentality is unhealthy. Imagine giving up on a great job market because it's competitive—na wa o!

The jobs popping up ARE AVAILABLE, and you can't win them if you don't apply (or get invited to apply).

... I want to know how viable it is getting jobs there, as a Nigerian, as a black...

There are Nigerians there (living in this same Buhari-run Nigeria) making millions monthly.

Hightser:
Please help a brother, if e no go give me better money make I kuku park face, thanks as you share your experience

Park face go where? You need reassurance of big pay when you don't even have experience? You're not ready.

It's a fun journey. I started my freelance career some 5 years back. You have to be consistent. Trust the process also. There are good clients and there are the bad clients. Treat all clients equally as they have the potential of bringing numerous new clients your way.

I didn't have to use my Bsc certificate because freelance is paying VERY WELL.

Hightser:
Hello guys, there has been a lot of fuss about freelance work, I finally learnt ui/ux after a long period of reluctance. I have good laptop, good phone et al but the zeal hasn’t been that strong, I am augmenting the ux with graphics design so I can perfect it.

Each time I visit upwork as a freelancer, tones of jobs keep popping up on the graphics and ui/ux design section, haven’t even visited fiverr sef, so I want to know how viable it is getting jobs there, as a Nigerian, as a black, just want to know the hurdles you all working there face cause I am not learning this to work for Nigerians as the pay is very bad.

Please help a brother, if e no go give me better money make I kuku park face, thanks as you share your experience ��

Another thing that you can do is, have some sample of your works stored on google drive, approach companies, pitch to them with a link to your sample works.... They will contact you IF there is need.

Now, if you manage to get one client, do a fantastic job and after that, tell him to recommend you to other companies. This is important and makes your work easier to get clients.

I won’t say I make a lot on upwork but I do make more than the average job seeker. 300k ish monthly- I write so there are a lot of us. Trying to get into UX and UI to make it 7 figures. I will tell you one thing. The first few jobs are the hardest at least on upwork- once u crack the code of getting the first few jobs and ur Jss score reaches a nice number. Jobs will start coming in freely.

How do you get clients?

This got me laughing tho it's not funny.
Freelancing pays only if you shift your gaze from the monetary gains first and improve better on your skill and experience.
