Hello everyone,
First of all I want to thank Codedboy95 and everyone who has contributed useful info in this thread.
Shout out to qtguru, DrLevi, Pocohantas, N2B2 and other amazing persons for chiming in your experiences and tips.

I created my Upwork account in late July but I didn't take it seriously as at then, I never applied for jobs. Flash forward to early this month when I stumbled across this thread I read the whole thing at one go and committed every piece of info and advice that was shared into setting up my profile. I'm particularly grateful for the tips on proposal writing and job bidding. I got my first job after sending my first batch of proposals! I guess I was lucky to have found this thread. May God bless you all in million folds.

I got my job in technical writing by the way. I'm writing articles on React for an open-source company called Refine. I have finished my first milestone and the client has decided to let me on another project.

Here's my Upwork profile for those who might be interested. It's not perfect and I'm open to suggestions to improve on it: https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~018fdfcc6a0ebe690a

Thank you Oyoolima. Long time no see.




Congrats to you and kudos on reading the whole thread. I keep telling budding freelancers to READ. Read and RESEARCH.

Last last na determination e need. Everybody go dey alright.

qtguru:


Hmmm I'll have to find out but Scratch from MIT I'd a good place, there is a platform that teaches kid coding. Khan Academy

oyoolima:


Thanks for replying.Im looking for something more streamlined ,Khan academy would require me to teach and stay there ,so I'm looking for a teacher to take them through the paces,even if its an hour every saturday,from the fundamentals.
I need to outsource as I simply don't have the time to do it.
Scratch too ,I don't have power to be directing anybody on something I don't even have a clue about.

Boss, you once said you use Wise for payments. Can you please explain how it works? I'm trying to create an account and they said I have to deposit 10k.

qtguru:


I use it to keep money and send it to other countries, and I use it to receive money from Upworks,
