I charge $30/hr on upwork and being a Nigerian has zero effect.

The problem is most people dont know how to send proposals and optimize their profiles.

I'm also on fiverr too and still doing fine.

What people dont know is that Nigeria is better than so many countries.

vickertony:

what's your niche and skills you offer Boss?

Jetjacky:
I like what you are selling bro, especially the latter. How do you make that happen?

I like to know what you know regarding Upwork and Fiverr. I follow Danny Marguiles and Lex Deville you-focused strategies, experimenting on combining them.

Do you have a ballpark discount for the review service for both platforms?

VictorBode:


I'm a copywriter but I do content and article writing too.

VictorBode:



Your first question. It's through client prospecting on facebook, LinkedIn and emails. It's more advanced but pays much higher. All you have to do is position yourself correctly.



Yes I know Danny. I was trained by him The you focused strategy is the best. And the reason why Dan is so good is because he's a copywriter.


Lol. The 10k is just for fiverr oo. But don't worry I'll show you other things as well.

For example, you dont just create a profile and leave it. There are some research and other things that you can do to help boost your profile to some of the front pages.

And also how to spot scams or bad clients. Etc

Hi, I'm having an issue with someone you vouched for in one thread for over 2 weeks now. He's been making my life miserable for 2 weeks after I sent him payment for UpWork training. I wouldn't want to disclose his moniker yet. Please, I need to talk to you. Maybe he'll listen to you since you trust him.

Thanks!

Here to warn people that the prolific scammer Fidelis Aganyi Ukwada is still roaming these threads on the prowl for exchangers and writers to scam.

The little thief who spends his time masturbating and gambling life away should not be traded with.

That boy can never appreciate an honest job in his life. It's in him to scam people.

I'm supporting my brother Kadafs and whoever he has scammed to warn other people to beware of him.

Sure, your nationality as a Nigerian might be an issue at first as a new freelancer, but I believe once you can show clients you are good at what you do, then you'd get great paying jobs. When I started out on Upwork, it was tough. But I kept researching on different ways to be better in terms of my proposals and In terms of my writing.

30 USD for 1000 words isnt something unattainable as a Nigerian. You know what's worse than being a Nigerian on Upwork? It is being one and wearing an hijab. So I could potentially be discriminated on 2 counts: being black and being a Muslim.

But here I am an ordinary article writer still securing 1000 words for 200 to 300 USD. So don't give up!

It wasnt a job test like going into Facebook ads and running ads. It was a test with Microsoft excel testing digital marketing knowledge similar to code test for jobs. I still relate to the CEO and they are seriously struggling especially with the lockdown in Spain.

The test was on Digital marketing knowledge and applying them to real-life scenarios. Things like ROAS, Case studies, and things like that.

BlueBanana:

Bro, I recently began learning digital marketing, but I don't know where to start from. I would really appreciate it if you could point me to where you learnt yours. Thanks

tensazangetsu20:

Start with Facebook ads then move to google ads. Google ads is much learn everything there then you can learn SEO if you wish.

BlueBanana:

Thanks. can you recommend materials I can learn with, like pdf or videos.

Hi, guys!

So, I have been doing some research on Upwork about lots of things regarding freelancers, and I have come to realize certain things. One of them, which leads to my concern is that, several clients have been pissed finding out that their hired freelancer lied about their name, location, or stuff like that. Some hit up freelancers who claim they are in the UK, but it turns out that they are in India or some other region. Bummer. (Just google it)

I have also tried researching how Nigerian Upwork freelancers are fairing on the platform and the data I received is really conflicting and for the most part, discouraging. I have also come across some community threads with some Nigerians defending the platform as being supportive and fair to Nigerians, yet most of those defenders have not really been active on the platform.

So, I want to hear from you.

How is working on the platform as a Nigerian like for you, as writer, programmer, etc? Mostly writers, since you guys need to compete with those born or in native English-speaking countries?

Are you able to secure gigs like every other day, week, or month?

Can you easily up you raise there like up to 0.05/word or $50/hour and still secure great jobs whenever?

I have seen several accounts who their great days was in 2019 or 2017 and some who have two to three works per year, and some who only have two jobs on their account. I have also seen those who have been on it for years, like way back to 2014? With lots of completed projects, but in the recent years, lesser works too with some having bad pays, for those who agree to disclose the sum.

So, please, help me out here. How is it like for you operating your Nigerian Upwork account and is it worth it?

Thanks for your time,
Jet.
