qtguru: Which program I fit quickly learn Lyk dis and earn money on up work/divert (as beta civil engr. Job no gree show face) |

CBR100: You'd have to look at istrative skills like Data Entry, Content Management and etc I will advise doing some Google on istrative skills or skills revolving around a platform e.g Wordpress @pocohantas has more insights on that, mine are more of Technical gigs. Shalom 1 Like |

CBR100: In addition to what Qtguru said, there is no skill you can “quickly” learn to make money on the current Upwork. Anyone would tell you for free that the competition now is very stiff. The easiest being Data Entry is so saturated and as a Nigerian, you stand no chance when put against a $3/hr Filipino. As a civil engineer, what do you know how to do?!! Stick to what you know or take the time to develop at least intermediate proficiency in a choice skill. 3 Likes 1 Share |

CBR100: Internal designers seem to be making a killing for this you need to learn a quick 3d app you need to learn rendering you need to learn post processing you will also need a powerful pc you will have challenges with engineering jobs because 1) the profitable ones are american - and americans use a different set of standards - right down to their units of measurement kg vs pounds, metres vs feet, even different symbols 2) a lot of them expect you to be american or state licensed you can try british and australian as they use the standards we are used to - but you may tey before you break in there is a potential for project management f you can flip it an old boss is there and has been telling me to look for American jobs. he says there is a dearth of project managers and i will fit right in. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

GloriousGbola: To the best of my knowledge I think rendering and post processing are architect stuff How does the project management works |

pocohantas: Which skills can u recommend for me to study to gain intermediate proficiency in it What do you think about copywrting, hope is not over saturated like data entry |

CBR100: I am an electrical engineer by training i have been using sketchup from 2007/2008 to date for 3d modelling. it is incredibly easy to learn and scale - look on the web and you will find where to pirate it for rendering all you need is a plugin app the onus is on you to start and do your own research. what you need is a computer, an internet connection and determination if you can use autocad competently, then you can definitely use sketchup look for internal designers on upwork to get a feel of what is required. How does the project management works you are a civil engineer. have you worked on a project before? a structured project that is being tracked understand that a level of proficiency and experience is required. how fast you can achieve that will depend on you but somethings can really only come with real world experience 2 Likes |

Donpre:And the irony? Someone who uses 6 connects will still get the job. 250 boosted connects with a shitty proposal would never work. 1 Like |

Still applying for.jobs without any positive outcome yet. The last time I got an interview, we already finalized everything and the client said I should pause, that he will get back to me. When I checked the job posting, he already hired someone else, not giving any reason. I'm still trying though, I rewrote my profile overview yesterday and still designed new samples for my portfolio, I even changed to a professional profile picture. The painful thing is that someone I showed how Upwork works applied for a job and boosted with 40 connects, and she got the job. It's really competitive.

Emeraldfynest: Ask her to share the proposal she sent with you. Read it carefully and try to figure out what stood out in hers that made her get the job. Then apply that in your next proposal. All the best! |
Djreloaded(m): 11:17pm On Jan 10, 2023 |
beautycrush24:Nope. A great proposal goes a long way, but doesn't give you the job. When you're being interviewed - ask questions, research about the client's project and offer brilliant suggestions, and you my friend will be picked always when interviewed |

Yeah I've done that already, thanks. But note that she boosted hers to the top with 40 connects for a job of 6 connects. So I feel that could've helped too.

I don't understand upwork or how I can get my first job there. I have skills in fashion sketching and 3d virtual fashion. And I have a computer science degree without skills in programming or Web design. Any help please |
sEGXY2(m): 8:00am On Jan 12, 2023 |
Good morning everyone. Please I’d need your inputs and expertise on this. I used to be active on Upwork in 2021 and had writing gigs then but I got a job towards the end of 2021 so I abandoned my Upwork totally. I work in a media company so I’ve gained skills like script writing, video editing and voice over. I’m thinking of reg my job and going back on Upwork to offer video editing services. Do you think it’s advisable to do so? Secondly, I have some good reviews on my profile already but they’re for writing and for 5$/10$ gigs. I tried to re-editing my profile to fit my new niche but My JSS score reduced to 80% Should I ditch just my old and create another ? |
dreamxhaser: 8:11am On Jan 12, 2023 |
sEGXY2: You can't create multiple s brother. I don't see anything wrong with your and I personally think you can switch to video editing. Just create a specified profile for it. Your JSS is still good. |
Supreme145(m): 8:41am On Jan 12, 2023 |
Good morning all, please what advice would give a newbie. I ed last last year but no gigs yet. I'm into technical writing but I also have a bit of web dev experience to JS level coupled with WordPress though my profile is structured around content development for now. I really need to start getting gigs because Nairaland outsourcers have really dealt with me, I recently discovered that one was paying me #3/word for a crypto project while he was getting around #20/ word from his upwork client. Please gurus in the house help me out. Pocohantas...qtguru 1 Like |
