Let's discuss guys!

Am I the only that has been experiencing improved earnings even amidst all the outcry about low sales?

This year, my earnings has been getting better and better.

I think the no sales is from specific niches, coupled with fiverr's strict rules. They now require new buyers to verify their payment methods especially PayPal before placing an order. I've had three CS cancellations this week cos of this.

Talking about niches, writing is now survival of the fittest. I jejely moved to wordpress and programming. I no fit shout.

czarina:
Seriously you nailed it. One of the reasons I hate visiting this thread is because of most people who probably pride themselves as the fast ones in pulling tricks to fetch the money.
I discovered something, give it time and things will happen. Claims like these pushed me into spending the last dime I had one time like that to purchase a tutorial on Making it on Fiverr. Till today no sales, promoted with my gig clicks soaring still no sales. Had to leave it and go back to the Upwork I created with my true identity and within days of getting serious again I've got an ongoing hourly job, an invite to a milestone gig with regular jobs in the offing.The best part, I'm not afraid to accept Skype interviews and sending down my true facebook profile to potential clients. Talk about peace of mind!
Fact is, you can't continue to live a lie, can't even stand the thought of running like a crazed rat when I hear verification. I told my friend something, "I wonder how far our reputations would have skyrocketed if we had been open and braved the storm of acceptance from the onset, like let these people know we actually know our stuff from the beginning".

I opened my first account last year, I think just a few weeks after reading through beatzone's thread(this one) , but thanks to the Smart ass friends who out of their vast experiences told me I was wasting my time with a Nigerian profile, spent the greater part of last year creating fake profiles and getting busted. Time and data I'd have spent promoting my real identity.

Thanks to a Nairalander I met here who made me stick with my real identity on Upwork I've been able to get past that barrier. I know gaining acceptance on competitive freelancing platforms like Fiverr and Upwork takes time but if you keep at it, you'll surely smile in the end. (That of course is if you're not as greedy as most.
The Nairalander, I just talked about is killing it big time on Upwork with his real ID(he doesn't make noise about it) , this I know personally, not "they told me".
So guys, if you're comfortable living a lie online forever, Ngwanu keep it to yourself. Don't make it look like that is all there is to surviving on these platforms. Till today, I regretted ever abandoning my Upwork account for so long. But I'm gradually recovering all and I'm going to continue promoting myself on Fiverr with zero embellishments.

I take Skype interviews both on upwork and on fiverr. My profile pic is a banner designed by me without a face. Nobody is living a lie.

Even a fool knows that your comment is a response to my post. If Naija acct works for you then carry go. Nobody is shoving it down your throat.

Lastly, I don't use tricks on fiverr, I just know how to get it right when it comes to freelancing. I teach people free only if they have the patience to wait till I'm less busy.

And, I don't do fiverr anymore cos it's difficult. Staying awake till 3am just to get orders and all that stuff. I think old age is coming so make I no disturb myself.

I want to learn sir

appsdope:

Haha. Nawa o. Abeg drop me here no carry me go again. I don't want issues

Lol, no issues dear. We just need ti have positive spirit about us, about our country Nigeria.

@Czarina

Yes dear. Am happy you are making it with your true identity. Keep on dear.

The truth is once you get one job, getting others is just easy. I know of a USA company that has three Nigerian Upwork freelancers on it's payroll.

Just cool, what of the guy that talked about him being a quantity surveyor on upwork, he talked of his experience here, a nigerian, making it big. Persevere, work hard, keep sending proposals, you will get it someday.

But atimes disguising can make someone look foolish, recently, i saw a guy, with face and background of a Nigerian pics but location says USA, the background looks so unkept, you cant totally get it right most times with lies.

Hourly job rocks, been it on for a while now and every wednesday is bae.

Yes, writing niche is saturated. In fact all niches are saturated. I even think WordPress and programming is more saturated because that's where you find all the Indians and Pakistanis. How are you coping there?

Guess what? I just created a new naija account now. Once the account becomes stable, I'm so abandoning my foreign account.

Welcome to Nigeria. Lol.

Maybe other guys too can create a Nigerian profile along side. Build and work hard on it, with time you abandon the other with fake identities.

Let's lift our flag high with pride!!!!

I know I'm too good for America to be taking the credit.
There were times I did jobs and the clients were so marveled. If I was using a naija account, those were good times to uplift the image of my country.

There was a time a satisfied client shared my profile with his colleagues. They were just contacting me "up and down" for jobs. I felt bad that period because I was working hard for another country to take the credit.

There were many times that clients sent me their Facebook ID, email, personal phone numbers and wanted to speak with me offline. But it never happened. After each 5 star review I receive, I feel bad knowing that another country is taking the credit. Let me try my luck with my home town.

Bros and brosses.
I've been reading comments here, and without much ado, here's my contribution!
Let's see it this way, let nobody deceive you that you can open a Nigerian profile and still make it big time on upwork of fiverr.
Those who are making a killing all started a long time ago!, kindly show me a Nigerian earning $2k every month, and I'll show you five fake profiles earning double!
Our Nigerian flag is bleeped up!
Except you offer rare services, forget the Nigerian flag, no client will hire you over a native , and as a Nigerian again
I totally agree with appsdope with his assertions, and if you know your way around, you can always verify your accounts even with your fake ID.
Well, that's a story for another day!
This month alone has been my break-through all round. As I've been able to nail a client who offers me $1500 to write his ebooks of just 25,000-30000He's a best seller on Amazon.. This signaporean guy is fuc_king rich, and over 30 people applied to this job of his, including Nigerians who drafted killer proposals too,but he picked me.
Why? You already know
What I'm saying? let nobody deceive you that you can make a killing using your Nigerian profile, as client's mindsets has been messed up with, by our raging yahoo Boys!
I rest my case

That's cool. When your Naija acct gets big you can dump the foreign acct.

One thing I hate about freelancing is that if you don't work, you won't earn. I am looking for an online biz that brings passive income.

I used to think precious NG was living in Enugu, or has he moved?

Partly true, but i think there was a time he was offering to teach guys for 30k sometime last year.

You are right, lagos is too busy. I would rather move to abuja than lagos.
