pocohantas:Tech has those rates and even higher but reserved for the seniors with 3 years experience and more. The competition is also insane. In just a couple hours a job would have 20 - 50 proposals Also Checked out the med VA stuff and could only find 276 jobs with rates as low as 3 - 5. Add the fact that I'm terrible at social activities and planning. Seems to be a dead end or maybe I'm just dismissing it too early Funny to see data entry and virtual assistant have job counts as high as 12k. I wonder why Nigerians wan kill themselves of tech |

Dollywood:True. Asides that it's also important to check if there payment verification is visible. A blue tick and amount spent on upwork.. Also checking the comments / reviews of freelancers who has worked with them previously is also important. |

You can check out my samples of pictures I took and edited on mobile photography/art under phone section on nairaland. Thanks. |

chiarachy: Google Docs , Spreadsheet and others, there are other skills, because writing is saturated. It's better to a niche skill is what I meant. |

saxwizard: You are welcome. No, there isn’t. Next time put on your time tracker if the client wants to start using you. Though for the majority of his kind, it is most likely a scam and the funds would be reversed. Avoid jobs with exaggerated pay. $100/hr is just to lure freelancers - except the client has a history of paying that much. DrLevi: I have seen the ones that pay at least $5/hr and I have also seen the ones of $15/hr. Lol. Those data entry with job counts of 12k, I believe you mean total earnings. Did you check the number of hours? It is also very hard for them o. Data entry is nothing where tech is. Na Filipinos and Pakistanis dey die for that one at $3/hr. You would have to use your search option extensively. I have seen them disguised in some other terms. When I remember or see another, I’ll tag you. |

Unsolicited Tip: ![]() Be selective about the jobs you apply for on Upwork if you're going to save your connects. Be intentional. Create a criteria for applying for jobs and never deviate from them. Good luck. 9 Likes |

A friend introduced me to upwork 3 weeks ago and thankfully I stumbled on this thread. Guys, I've verified my account but I seem to have one problem which is getting a job as a beginner. I've read quite a lot here from the beginning of this thread to at least page 33. I've applied some tips too. Here is my profile below - https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~01984a5cbbf74bf936 Pls, I need a critical review & thanks in anticipation. 1 Like |

qtguru: Hi sir…I recently got a Wordpress development course and I’ve quite studied a lot without coding using elementor builder… now I wish to kickstart my freelancing career on upwork so I joined upwork. After creating my profile, I noticed I usually see Wordpress gigs but these gigs also need programming which I have no experience of. What do I do to find strictly Wordpress design gigs without coding so I can apply…I need your honest suggestions on this… Or do you think I should learn this webflow maybe I’ll achieve that…. Btw this is my upwork profile link, kindly review for possible adjustments (not done with the portfolio aspect though)…thanks https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~01911a3f5f0394c976?s=1044578476142100494 |

princeagu: You are Prince (one person), but your profile kept using we/us. Are you an individual or an agency? Abi you are non-binary? Anyway, change your I’M to I AM. Your account would get verified (the blue tick) after you get your first job - most likely. Transcription is something I enjoy alot and am readily available and at your service 24/7. Kindly look into this sentence. There are niches where grammatical errors shouldn’t be excused. Transcription is one. That said, I opened a specialised transcription profile and I have gotten two invitations in a week. I rejected the first one. The second is still ignored. I guess it is not such a bad niche. 3 Likes
