DrLevi: Thanks for your swift response. How about the withdrawal. One withdraws raw dollar cash to exchange at BDC or Street rate right? 2 Likes |

SpeedyPuff: what if upwork ask you to make a video verification. don't you think they can get your IP address ? may be you can use VPN right ? but will you keep using for your entire upwork journey. you will really regret such action if you earn +100k and your account is permanently banned. search for talents @ upwork you will see alot of Nigerians making a huge amount with Nigerian location. even me I don't earn yet but my first proposal at upwork. I get to an interview stage by a client in UAE. you follow a bad suggestions from bad people. 3 Likes |

For the past few days, I kept seeing content writing and blog writing jobs posted on my page, while my niche is copywriting and my skills are built around it. What could be the reason?

Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by iamprofessork: 9:25pm On Jul 05, 2022 |
Dollywood:There's nothing wrong. If you check your other skills in your profile dashboard you might discover that you actually also added content writing and writing itself as part of your skill set that's why.. Its a plus because you will have the opportunity to also apply for jobs in that niche as long as you can do it, you are good to go... 2 Likes |

iamprofessork: I have no knowledge in content writing, and it's taking over my job page with more than 60% of the jobs posted are related to Content writing and SEO thing. I didn't add content writing or writing to my skillsets, I only added persuasive writing a few days ago. |
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by iamprofessork: 4:55pm On Jul 06, 2022 |
Dollywood:No wonder.... Persuasive writing is the senior brother of content writing you go dey alright.. I pray we get converting messages this month.. 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Dollywood(m): 7:53pm On Jul 06, 2022 |
iamprofessork: Jeez. I removed Persuasive writing from my skills yet I'm still seeing those content writing jobs all over my frontpage. Oh well, I guess it's going to take a little time to adjust back to normal, right? |
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by N2B2: 10:00am On Jul 07, 2022 |
iamprofessork: Let me correct you now so that you don't repeat the bolded in public and lose face. Persuasive writing — writing with the intent to persuade someone to do something, sometimes with irresistible offers — is a skill that's based on psychology and often used by copywriters. Content writing, on the other hand, is a subset of the content creation aspect of digital marketing, and so is copywriting. A content writer writes with the intent to inform, educate, or even entertain readers, and a copywriter will aim to persuade readers to take some sort of action, usually one that benefits a business's sales process. That said, today's top writers have taken a hatchet to the wall of separation between content writing and copywriting (Example: search Google for the term SEO Copywriter). SEO writing is an aspect of Content Writing, but it contains readability requirements that can elevate a copywriter's quality. @Dollywood, the writers earning the income you, me, and many others yearn for combine aspects of both digital marketing subsets (content writing and copywriting) to create digestible, gripping, and persuasive content. |
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Dollywood(m): 10:34am On Jul 07, 2022 |
N2B2: Broo, I done remove persuasive writing from my skills but content writing jobs done take over my jobs page. Even the copywriting jobs on my page are scrap jobs, while content writing and SEO are just piling up on my page, and I'm not a content writer. About 70% of jobs on my page for the past 3days is about writing and SEO writing. |
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by iamprofessork: 2:21am On Jul 08, 2022 |
N2B2:Alright noted thank you I really appreciate.. even professors need to be corrected.. |

Hi Everyone, I receive a lot of emails asking for Upwork guide, I try to reply as much as I can but really, there is nothing new for me to share that is not on this thread. If you are still not getting jobs then you are either not doing something right or you are not putting in enough effort to get a job. when I joined Upwork, I spend at least 3- 4 hours every day on upwork refreshing the job feeds. in fact, at a stage I had the thought to build a bot that sends me email notification once someone posts a job that has keywords I am interested in. That was how intentional I was about getting jobs then. Now, I get at least 8 - 10 job invites every month and I can't even remember the last time I applied to any job. I have even turned off my profile because I can't take new jobs. Long and short of this epistle is that you need to put more effort than the average freelancer. Thanks to everyone keeping the thread active @qtguru, @N2B2 @DrLevi and the everyone else 13 Likes 1 Share |
