"Please send a résumé and a brief cover letter"
How do one go about the resume part considering the fact that my resume has my contact details and it's against Upwork rules. Do I edit the edit deleting all contact details?

Jaycobbs:


1. Geegpay. Grey works fine too, and Payoneer.

2. International passport is the best. You're good to go.

3. Some people make use of NIN and says it works well. You can also go through the roundabout process:

A) Go to https://tin.jtb.gov.ng/TinIndividualRequestExternal

B) Use your BVN to search for your TIN number

C) Complete the form. A link would be sent to your email. You'll get a Request ID, usually between 2 to 15 hours

D) When you get the TIN number, go back to Upwork, profile settings, tax information. Fill correctly and you're good to go.

Enjoy.
thank you for the detailed explanation bro

You can just remove it from your resume if you're worried about the repercussions from Upwork.

It's a loophole that a client of mine used to avoid the fees and take me off the platform.

Upwork is creating new stringent measures every day to stop them from losing money every day, so you need to weigh your decision carefully.

At the bolded, how did the client pay you since he took the job off the platform?

We discussed payment platforms after I signed up.

In retrospect though, I wish I'd stayed on the platform. I've earned nearly $1K working with him, and if all of that was documented on Upwork, it would have improved my reputation on the platform and made the way for better jobs.

So, you can skip paying the 10% to Upwork, but everything has pros and cons

Understood.

I got the two clients I've been working with so far off Upwork, we only took our contract to the platform because of ease of payment.

Both of them complained that they can't conveniently and directly pay into the ACH account I provided, this is the reason we migrated to Upwork.

The 10% "tithe" Upwork is collecting is not going well with me but I don't have a choice! grin

Pending the time we find a better option, we gotta dance to Upwork's tune for now.

If you're doing ACH transfers, they don't count the weekends when they are counting the days required for it to get to your account. I know Geegpay usually takes two to three working days.

I've written in other niches before.
I just decided to constrain myself to writing technical contents because I found that I'm more interested in it.

I wanted to know how long does Geegpay take to verify account. Mine seem to be taking long. Opay verified my account in minutes. This is taking like three to four days and still not done verifying.

I really need your mentorship on upwork. I have been in upwork for years and haven't gotten any client yet. Please help.

1. Consistency I've been on Upwork since it was odes, it's just recently I started getting traction.
2. Profile optimization, I bought a course from RemoteOliver on Twitter it was like 4 usd, you have to clean up your profile.
3. Portfolio matters alot, the better your portfolio, the higher your chances.
4. Niche skill, no point finding gigs with the only skill you know, you have to upskill
5. Good communication and over delivering, once I take up a project, I usually handle the direction myself without requiring input from the owner

Please qtguru, how do I connect to you. I need your mentorship on upwork. I have been on upwork for years and I am yet to get one client. This is very serious please I would need you to review my upwork profile and advice me please.

Yes, Geegpay rate is better.
I always withdraw my Upwork funds to Geegpay and then to my local bank account.

They will ask you to verify but you'll be fine if your verification documents are genuine.

In a few weeks, I'll be a Top rated seller on Upwork and I'm almost a level 2 seller on Fiverr. I can't wait.......


My JSS was once 15% (no jokes) how I took it back to a hundred needs to be studied. But it took me almost 2years of doing low-budget work.

When I was struggling at about 50% JSS, I got a negative review too.

But I am back at the top now.


Imagine a negative review and Low JSS. That was worse than being a newbie on upwork.

Now for every 10 proposals I send, I get up to 7 views and 2 interviews. Everywhere just dey stew....


So as a newbie don't follow those negative people you see on Twitter, Reddit and even here. Negative people are often the losers in the society.

Even when there is no light at the end, just reach the end.

If you give up what other option do you have?

I once made the mistake of following the "Amazon KDP as a saturated bandwagon". Now I regret it because people who didn't give up then are now chilling in millions.

So Just do your homework and get the job done.


I can’t even imagine how you did it in at 70% and I’m already seeing stars not to talk of 15% you did a lot of work I hope you have yourself a pat on the back for all the hardwork. This has inspired me do you know any one that can help build up review on Upwork.
