qtguru:Bro I see you are an advocate for Geegpay. Please I made a withdrawal to Geegpay from Upwork early this morning. Pls how long does it take for it to appear? Also, Upwork only sent me the you requested payment email. Is this the normal routine? |

Has anyone managed to purchase connects with their card lately? All the cards I’ve tried keeps getting declined and even got my Upwork account suspended twice. |

cc pocohontas please I need your take on this. I have a client who contacted me and requested that he would like for me to purchase and register a couple of sim cards in Nigeria for his online business. I am skeptical because I hear stories and a part of me is not sure it would be used for a legal business. What's your take? Thanks. |
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by RoyalPriesthuud(m): 5:20pm On Mar 13, 2023 |
qtguru:Okay. Thanks |
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by RoyalPriesthuud(m): 5:25pm On Mar 13, 2023 |
chieni: That would be dangerous waters. Personal registration nowadays is tied to individual NINs. Any business they do with the number(s) you registered for them would forever be under your identity. I'm sure SIM registrations for businesses would require typical business documents like CAC reg no and co. 1 Like |

RoyalPriesthuud:You hit the nail on the head. In as much as we all want to make money, this wouldn't be one of the ways I want to make money. I jump and pass if its for an ulterior motive. 1 Like |

iamoyanudo: What is Payday? And how did you do it? |

chieni: Please don’t. Think about it na. You don’t know what he wants to use the line for and you would register in your name. Run! 2 Likes |

Dollywood: It's a virtual account, go to play store or appstore and download. It's a USD and NGN virtual account where you can as well create a virtual card. That's what I used the last time I buy connect on Upwork. |
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Dollywood(m): 11:06pm On Mar 13, 2023 |
iamoyanudo: Oh thanks man. I’m going to try this out |
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Dollywood(m): 9:10am On Mar 14, 2023 |
iamoyanudo: Which Virtual card did you use? USD? |
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by chieni(f): 9:54am On Mar 14, 2023 |
pocohantas:Same thought I had in my mind. From our conversation, he even has people in Nigerian So he should use them for such transaction. I appreciate your input. 3 Likes |

Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Dollywood(m): 10:00am On Mar 14, 2023 |
iamoyanudo: Done. Thanks. But damn, the exchange rate they charged was 760/$. Too much compared to what I used to get with a local bank Mastercard like Zenith. They do charge 450/$ instead. And it would cost me like 25k or so to purchase 200 connects |

I HAVE THE SKILLS BUT I AM NOT GETTING THE JOB 😭😭 I am a front-end developer with over 4 years of experience. I have been applying for jobs on Upwork since last year, and I am yet to get a single gig. It is frustrating, to say the least. Can someone help me out on how I can get a job? I don't mind paying the person some money as long as I get a job on Upwork. Also, if you have multiple gigs and you need more hands to do the job, kindly let me join your team so we can do the job together. And if you can also refer me for a gig, I will duly appreciate it. Please, anyone should help me out. |

Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Ayomipoe(m): 7:02pm On Mar 14, 2023 |
Bros, me no be Sir o. 1. Go to https://www.upwork.com/hire/us/ and check out the web dev section. 2. Look for someone successful, check out their portfolio and page, and what they claim they know. 3. Update your own profile and portfolio, and start to learn more stacks. 4. Price aggressively. 5. Set availability using connects. 6. Check Upwork every day. 7. Get your profile completeness to 100% 8. Consider Freelance plus nurez305: 7 Likes 4 Shares |

Ayomipoe:Thanks so much for the hint. How soon do you think setting availability with connect yield result? Because in my own case, it is 7connects per weeks and that would be alot for me except it will give result as soon as possible |
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Ayomipoe(m): 7:47pm On Mar 14, 2023 |
No idea, you are putting yourself out there potentially. These are also very uncertain times and the competition is very high for the few roles, not to mention that there are very numerous candidates that are probably far more knowledgeable and experienced than you currently are. You cannot even preemptively state what will make the client attracted to you, you are simply fishing in the dark, throwing yourself out there and hoping something bites. All you need is one lucky break, and you'll need to seize this and deliver in a timely fashion to get that first great review. The amount of confidence that will infuse into you, I doubt that you can imagine. I understand the Connects are expensive, hence my statement that you should consider the freelance plus subscription. 11,250 ish monthly or thereabouts. nurez305: 2 Likes |
