[quote author=HardMirror post=123340383]I will keep this short and no one should send me any message.
So last year I decided to revisit freelancing because I am a gifted writer and been writing for many years so why not use it to make money?
So I registered on a freelancing site and the journey began.
Making money is never the problem if you are a freelancer, the problem is how much time can you give to the job. The job was just too much that i had to employ many nairalanders to work for me. At a point I was earning $900 per week (i could earn much more than this but where is the time to do more work?) but the work was just too much. So much that i moved to an hotel for several months just so that i can focus and have the hotel staff attend to all my needs so I dont have to do any work except my writing job.
This is a job that would make you want to go mad. You will work mornimg and night as if you have no life. Forget social life, all you will be after is to meet deadlines.
People will think you are a yahoo boy because you dont go to an office and you are always on your laptop. They also see that you dont have problem with money. To make it worse you are always going to bank to collect dollars and take to aboki.
I shake my head when i see nigerians complaining that there is no work. There is work but most people cannot work. That is just the truth.
If you know you can make these sacrifices then you should consider freelancing so far you have the skills for the jobs you want to apply for.
Sir, please i'll be so grateful if you can help me to be a Freelancer too like yourself. I really and determine to change my life status because life has hit me hard. |

True.
I've discovered that HARDwork is the key so success.
You must push your productivity limit. If you wanna be rich doing smart work, do your smart work the HARD way, by doing it continuously.
These rich/comfortable guys making money legitimately online, put in their 100 in the work. They stay on the system almost all day long, to ball that kind of life.
There's no free money anywhere.
Wake up and push yourself to do more. 12 Likes 1 Share |

That said, is writing a skill someone can develop or it's a natural gift to those who have it? Good question. All skills can be learned and developed. Some people can have an adept natural ability whilst others have to develop skills through training and practice. 1 Like |
