Consider these factors before you sign up to a freelance service


Years ago, Intuit, a business and financial software company embarked on a research to ascertain the future of work in the next decade. The report of the research later showed that by 2020, people’s attention will be panned to becoming more of freelancers, remote workers, contractors and temporary employees coupled with more sophisticated and tech based work force. This assertion was informed due to recent increase in artificial intelligence and machine learning which is likely to displace a great human workforce and increase collaboration between large and small businesses.


In addition, a recent increase in tech based business, freelance service and micro jobs marketplace websites is ‘a dream comes true’ for this prophecy. People are largely embracing freelancing as a career path as it has inspired talents to share what they do for money and work at their leisure.
Meanwhile, there are a number of factors to consider before signing up to a freelance websites. These factors vary with the niche of the freelance service, the terms and condition of service, the location of the service and the currency. Let’s take them one after the other.

Factors to consider before signing up to a freelance service

The location and currency
The country and currency that’s permissible in a particular freelance service influences the condition of service for the freelance website. While some big freelance sites, particularly those outside Nigeria for instance, may prefer to pay in dollars and are likely to delay due to the period of conversion, the Nigeria freelance services may not take so long to pay.

How user friendly and accessible is it?
While it may be quite easy and quick to create a user account and create gigs on some freelance websites, it may relatively take a longer routine or process trying to register with another freelance website. Websites like oyerr.com takes less than three minutes to sign up and less than twenty minutes to create a gig.

How long does it take to pay?
Before you sign up to a freelancer website, also consider the number of days it takes to get a freelancer paid after a task must have been completed and delivered. A glance through the terms of service will help provide necessary answers.

What chances does my gig have to get accepted?
Due to so much traffic caused on large freelance websites, new members now have very slim chances of having their gigs published after creating there accounts. Don’t get this twisted, not like the gig quality is wrong or not-up-to standard, just that too many gigs have been created under that category .

We cannot all deny of the challenges and margins that advances in technology has drawn. It only requires a strategic method to conform to these changes even freelancing, as a matter of fact.

How to become a successful freelance writer ( a step by step guide).


Thinking of what the future holds for work in this era, I realised that freelancing has great chances of being the future of work, not just in Nigeria but in every sphere of human endeavor.

Caught in this web, a number of remote workers, especially freelance writers have evolved over the years. While some have already made a name, others are still struggling to be on their feet.

How then do you become a successful freelance writer?


Determine what you want to write about
It's not just about writing. It's about what you write about and how you write. You must reconcile with yourself what area of writing you want to specialize on. You can be a content writer, blogger, project writer etc. What ever yo decide determines what people know you for.

Join an online freelance service
The best place to hook up with your prospective clients is on freelance websites. Websites like oyerr.com help freelancers including writers to perform their tasks in an atmosphere saturated with trust.

Sample your personal profile credibly.
In freelance websites like oyerr.com, for instance, freelancers are urged to provide a detailed profile of themselves. This helps their clients to weigh the level of credibility attached to their work. Buyers want to know how much you know about what you do.

Always be available
If you must be successful, you need to make yourself available to conversations, negotiations and interrogations.It could be online, physical and otherwise. Never try making up excuses fro your absence.

keep to time
Time is money in business. Remember that the best advertiser is a satisfied client. Be at your best to deliver task within the time frame you scheduled. And get ready for a big hit.

How much does it cost to hire a freelancer on oyerr





It is often conventional for websites and ofcourse businesses both online and offline to decide how much is charged for a product or programme they offer. But that's a different story line when it comes to freelancing. Freelance websites like oyerr.com are meant to be user oriented.

The word freelancing by itself is used to describe the practice of pursuing ones profession without strict affiliation or commitment to anyone. This means that they can work as much or as less as they can, for who ever they choose and at what ever time or season they decide.

This level of decentralization in freelancing is the oyerr culture. I didn't forget to add, Freelancers also decide the amount they are paid for a service. This simply implies that on oyerr.com, the amount it cost you to hire a freelancer for a task is decided by the freelancer himself/herself. For instance, if you want a software developed for you, the programmer that will do the job decides how much he will get from you.

Frankly speaking, as much as oyerr does not decide gig prices, there is also a range for gig prices. Gig prices lies within a certain range except for customized gigs (on special request). This explains the "term micro jobs marketplace" So, your interest as a buyer on oyerr.com is covered as much as that of the freelancer.

Always remember that your security is our priority, our place as the middle man in Nigeria freelance services must not be defeated.

What Freelance Work Can You Do That is Relevant To Your Career in Higher Education

This really got me thinking you know. A good number of persons in higher education often get confused along the most strategic lines of their career, especially in higher education. Some get confused about how to face their worst fears (job seeking) after school. And while the seemingly diplomatic ones embrace school politics as a ladder to socio-economic emancipation, the really smart ones put their brains to work towards freelancing and entrepreneurship.



Now harnessing and bringing your knowledge into work while in school seem not to be enough for the latter set of student, the challenge of detecting where you truly fit in, in your proposed career and extending it to freelancing pull their fingers off the strings.
The First Thing you need to do to get your hands on again is to ask your self this question;

What Can You Do?
If you can tell yourself and someone else what you can do passionately and with little effort, then you are up for freelancing. Meanwhile you have to be able to tell why you love doing it.

Is Your Career in School Relevant to What You Can Do?
Let you career in school tally with your passion, talent, knowledge etc. Making the right career choice that is directly or indirectly related to what you can do passionately helps you make the right choice for freelancing. You are in school to sharpen what you know already so take the right step per time.

Be Passionate:
As an intending freelancer, one thing must motivate your knowledge or talent and that is passion. If you do what you love for money, you can't do it without money. but if you do it for passion, you can do it for anything including money.

You need Paypal. Here are the Reasons

One of the necessary requirements for freelancing is a PayPal account. For those who do not know much about PayPal, PayPal is one of the largest online payment processors in the world, thus it’s not a surprise that so many people use it as their only way to pay for online purchases. After you review this excerpt, you will most likely want to start using PayPal.




1. CREDIT CARD SECURITY
When you sign up for a PayPal account, you type in the credit cards and bank accounts you wish to use for purchases one time on the PayPal secure system. Once that is accomplished, you never again have to disclose your credit card information online. By paying with PayPal, you keep your credit card information private, meaning that you can shop without worrying about a hacker downloading your account data from your online merchant.

PayPal will then look for funds from your sources based on the order you define.

From most indications, 65% of budding programmers would not have embraced entirely the business slide of a programming career.

EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION TOOLS FOR ICT STRATUPS


"Look behind the wealth of nations you will find information, look behind the poverty of nations you will find lack of information"


In the business world generally and ofcourse the ICT inclusive, the pattern of information flow any enterprise adopts define who they are and subsequently their level of productivity. It doesn't matter if you are a programmer, web designer or what ever discipline outside the communication parlance. What really matters is your ability to apply some managerial skills to be able to make an ICT startup work.

Management involves the coordinated effort of human and material efforts in order to accomplish organisational goals. Therefore, being a genius in programming does not automatically make you a great manager. You need to learn some communication tools.

Speaking on Effective communication tools in an ICT startup, Miss Ima-abasi and ofcourse in agreement with other scholars made it clear that creating a conducive and healthy communication atmosphere motivates customer relations management, among others.

How can you achieve this?

Listen to others (viewpoint)
Pay attention to non verbal cue
Ask for feedback
Show your work samples
Repeat important messages

Technology obviously didn't burn the bridges of communication entirely. So while we use the tech means of communication we should also pay attention to other traditional means of meaning sharing.

DATA COULD BE THE FUTURE OF THE INTERNET




The ongoing privacy saga with mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook has raised an issue of great concern among media eunthusiast who have written commentaries and opinions concerning the cyber world, data and privacy.

The very fact that internet users deliberately or rather voluntarily leverage their data to the internet especially when aiming to register on a platform and even affirming the account by agreeing to the terms and conditions without even reading through is an irony.

In a recent blog post, Yinka Awosanya wrote that "the Internet is taking more than it’s giving or better put, we are giving the Internet more — surrendering our privacy for convenience and we don’t even care."

The facebook privacy saga has opened the eyes our the worlds understanding about where all the data collected over the years in the internet is going. Aside the primary function of granting users access to platforms, what else do domain owners do with the huge collection of data.

Studies have revealed that most of these data gathered could be transferred and used by companies to promote new business incentives. One general habit of over 65% of internet users is agreeing to terms and conditions without taking time to read through. The privacy terms of facebook in part reads thus;

Information from third-party partners.
We receive information about you and your activities on and off Facebook from third-party partners, such as information from a partner when we jointly offer services or from an advertiser about your experiences or interactions with them.

Facebook companies.
We receive information about you from companies that are owned or operated by Facebook, in accordance with their terms and policies.

Show and measure ads and services.
We use the information we have to improve our advertising and measurement systems so that we can show you relevant ads on and off our Services and measure the effectiveness and reach of ads and services. Learn more about advertising on our Services and how you can control how information about you is used to personalize the ads you see.

These are the features of what marshal McLuhan foresaw when he theorized about the global village. Privacy does not matter anymore, in my opinion except you just decided to delete your entire internet accounts and turn to the 20th century. How does that sound ?

CROWDSOURCING AND THE 300 MINTS CAMPAIGN


Crowdsourcing is channeling experts desire to solve problems and then freely sharing the answer






Crowdsourcing,conceived from the word crowd and outsourcing, is a technical way of getting the hands of a large network of potential labourers into a demanding and often technical task. The main business behind crowdsourcing is to produce solutions to societal problems.

Crowdsourcing could be very significant among tech oriented communities due to its method of operation which includes flexibility, scalability, speed and diversity. This has been a motivation to the 300 mints campaign for codemint.net recently.

The 300 mint campaign of codemint.net is a movement that encourages programmers to build and upload "mints" (solutions) on codemint.net for compensations. The need for crowdsourcing the 300 mint is to involve more programmers towards producing significant and diverse solutions to the needs and subsequent demands of clients on codemint.net.

This campaign comes with a huge reward. For every "mint" (solution) a programmer builds and uploads on codemint.net,the programmer gets monetary compensation. Secondly, codemint.net crowdsourcing will boosts your recognition in the tech world. Moreso you are bound to earn intellectual satisfaction knowing that you just produced a solution to someones problem.

Online freelancing versus Nigeria's perception

In Nigeria English we call it hand-work but oyibo calls it freelancing. It seems that's where the misconception started



Speculations have shown that the number of online freelancers in Nigeria is below what is obtainable in most countries. This is basically due to the inherent misconceptions about online money-making.
You tell someone you are a freelancer and he will be like...what's that? You try making things clearer by saying you work online they start imagining that you are a yahoo boy.

An average Nigerian would rather "innocently" go through formal education and go into the labor market than depending online for a source of income. Infact you can present anything else not online freelancing...welcome to Nigeria.

The fact remains that freelancers, especially the more enlightened ones take advantage of the online platform to explore their horizon and the wide range of services that digitization has offered freelancing. Regrettably,most countries have gone ahead while Nigeria is still trying to understand how online freelancing works.

The very fact that freelancing or your handwork, so to say makes you a boss in your post is worthwhile. So you choose when to work, who work for and how to work.

FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STARTUPS


           Your mistake as a startup shouldn't be that you woke up at the junction and realized that you had your T-fare but didn't know where you where headed.
A Section of Startups at Uyo2018 Startup Friday

I've heard people say, often that money can thrive a business but without a good idea, the business will still die. Well, this could be true in a sense but not entirely; after all it's a mere expression of opinion not an exertion of fact.

However, it is necessary to embrace the other end of this judgement that a wonderful and life changing idea could fade and die due to the low financial status of the idea-carrier or perhaps lack of adequate  funds.

Obviously, only a hand-grasp of businesses start big, the many others start small if not from scratch. This learning process will take you through the funding opportunities as well as stages that startups needs to take to fund their business.

What Kind of Business are You Operating:
Your mistake as a startup shouldn't be that you woke up at the junction and realized that you had your T-fare but didn't know where you where going. All am trying to say is that Startups should understand the nature of business they are venturing into, see it from a bigger lens and ascertain its financial cost. You know, many businesses only started with just a faction of the kind of business they have in mind. The whole image only becomes bigger when the business grows overtime. It is at this point (the junction) that the mindful takes the lead in the game. Knowing your business helps you establish the cost of resources needed to build the business, especially before the intervention investors and other areas of funding you look forward to.

This step ushers us into the different funding opportunities for Startups. The immediate funding opportunities available for Startups may include :

Bootstrapping:
This simply means that startups could begin their business journey with their personal savings without seeking for external financial intervention. In this case, they depend on their own earnings and are very conscious of their financial spending. Bootstrapping is actually advisable for startups. However, it limits the business especially at the early stage.

Donations From Family and Friends:
Startups can equally raise funds for their business from their family members or even friends. The good side of this method is that Startups have little or nothing to worry especially concerning interest rate and other financial charges relative to other external fund sources.

Angel Investors:
 Startups can also benefit financially from individuals who pull their resources towards funding and building a small business and subsequently co-own the business or expect returns as the business grows. Ofcourse this opportunity has its positive and negative sides.

Investors:
Startups can aswell seek help from investors. These set of people offer financial help to growing businesses with  the aim of getting returns afterwards. One issue with investors is that there could be cases of high interest charges which could be a burden to Startups.

These are basically the funding opportunities available for startups. Whichever one you may choose, it is needful to understand the terms and conditions surrounding each of them. Then Startups can draw a margin and soar.

YOUR JOURNEY AS A TECHPRENEUR

                                                                 
       "  Techpreneurs should learn to separate business from their technological background   "

Youths are native to ICT and understand its languages much better than other age segments. Interesting enough, they anchor the ICT segment of the economy both in the public and private sector.

Your journey as a techpreneur should start with the business model. Conventionally, the business model canvas is a better milestone to set the pace for startups, especially. However, there are factors, although trivial but significant to the survival of startups. They include the following ;

Separate Business From Your Tech Background:
Tech founders should learn to separate the business side of their skill from their tech background, Japhet Johnson of Describe Web Technologies (DWT). This simply means that you need the coordinated effort of people from various discipline or perhaps other ideological background to team up and make the business work. It is not right to feel that you are entitled to make the business work, as a tech person. You need a business idea to make business work.

Understand Your Relationship with People:
As as a techpreneur, you must understand what your affiliation with people or perhaps an individual means to your business. Define who your employees are, define your business partners, your investors and even your family and friends. That way, you will know not to confuse business with fun.

Outsource Your Weakness:
Another notable way to expand your business horizon as a techpreneur is to leverage your strength and outsource your weaknesses. What human or material resources do you have, which do you not have. Make the most of the ones you have and reach for some related businesses who can work on contract. You could strike a deal on revenue-sharing bases.

Generally, your journey as a techpreneur is one that demands diligence, hard work, focus and breath taking ideas. Be the best you can be and make the most of what you have.

TELL US WHAT YOU NEED

Reducing the freelance market in Nigeria, with different categories of task into a single website is a necessity to bring the market closer to those who need it. Oyerr.com, as such became part of this framework, thus, a freelance service and micro job market place. Oyerr.com is not such a difficult website to understand, you can find your way through physical observation and your ability to understand English language.

Before a buyer posts a request on oyerr, it means he or she is in need of the service. Being a freelance service, the terms require that a Buyer makes his/her request known by creating a buyer request. By so doing, you would attracted a number of freelancers who can do the task.

There is no point hosting a conversation when you have not given a description of what you want.The first step you should take is to post a request,( of course you will have some people offer to do the task). At this point, you may need to get in touch basically using the conversation box.

Having reached a compromise,the buyer may go ahead to pay the bills to oyerr account. Note this, no Seller earns his revenue until the Buyer is satisfied with the services he/she paid for. So be assured that you are not wasting your resources.

We are trying as much as we can to bring the market closer to everyone.

BE A SUCCESSFUL SELLER ON OYERR.COM


  1. WORK WITHIN OR BEFORE TIME

    Any time a buyer orders for a service, it is anticipated that the buyer is in need of the service and also wants value for his money. Many jobs have their duration more than a day and that points to the period within which the seller can work and get the job delivered. For the purpose of recommendations and good review which sell Sellers a lot, one has to do everything possible within their means to have the service rendered in time or within time frame (which is advisable). One of your success stories will be that your service will sell without aggressive media marketing but that a satisfied Buyer told a story of his satisfaction to others.
  2. CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT REGULARLY
     With respect to the point made earlier, to have a job successfully delivered depends on how often you check your account. Many times a seller might have job orders and might not be aware because he does not check the oyerr.com account and also does not acknowledge mails that accompany job orders. This delays the job orders and buyers get worried after some days particularly if there is no response from a Seller. This at times makes most Buyers to cancel the order and buy from another seller. A seller that looses clients indirectly stands the chances of loosing even much more clients.
  3. SELL YOUR SERVICE TO OTHERS USING OTHER MEDIUMS
     A business person does not keep his ideas in the dark and thinks it will sell. He must go the extra mile to advertise. Though oyerr.com is a marketing medium, a Seller must do well to share the service through other ways, be it by word of mouth, sharing the service link on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and any other social sites that gain a lot of traffic. This helps to make people order for your service when it is of interest to them. And as we believe on oyerr.com, more orders from Buyers means more money for Sellers.
  4. BE MOBILE FRIENDLY
     
    Oyerr.com acts as an entity that plays between Sellers and Buyers, and takes responsibility to get both parties satisfied with whatever purpose they have on the platform. When there is an order that comes in for a Seller, aside the Seller alerted with an email, oyerr.com calls the Seller to inform him/her about the job order. There have been instances where there are no responses or even the contact is not reachable. As said earlier, a Buyer orders because of need for the service, so it ends up that the order is redirected to another Seller who is available and ready to render the job.
  5. HAVE A GOOD COMMUNICATION SKILL
    A good communicator wins the heart of his audience even when the both parties may not have a physical contact. Sellers must be of good temper and have patience when discussing with a potential buyer. As said,” the customer is always right”, so a Seller must do well to come to the level of the Buyer so they can attain some level of compromise before the service is ordered. There are times when a Buyer is not well educated and the job is not accomplished to his taste, it may result to issues that could be detrimental to the Seller's reputation.
  6. BE READY FOR NEGOTIATIONS
    Market is a place where Buyers and Sellers agree to terms for exchange of money for products  or services. Operationally, a Seller should be ready to come to terms with the Buyer at a point where the latter is ready to pay an amount for a service that is above budget. You put your service out there for people to buy not to scare them off, so a Seller should do well to render services within a budget that is suitable for a Buyer

COLOR SCHEME FOR A PRODUCTIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT


Many people may undermine the importance of color in the work place. However, this has been refuted, scientific studies have shown that colors don’t only change our moods, they also profoundly impact our productivity for better and for worse  in our daily lives. In a work environment where most people dedicate at least 8 hours  of their day, it’s best to decorate it with vibrant hues that increase output and spark creativity.

Blue


Blue is regarded as a calming and stable color that helps workers focus on the task ahead. Furthermore, blue promotes trust, communication and efficiency.

Orange 


Orange represents enthusiasm  and also symbolizes endurance. In the workplace, it boosts creative performance, if you want to unleash creativity and enthusiasm at the work place, infuse orange in the office decor and painting.

Green

With technology taking over the system now, why do people still wait to be employed in a company when they can create a job now as an entrepreneur with no fee.
With these issues and many others considered, oyerr.com has come to help solve most of these issues most importantly, the increase in unemployment.

YOUR WEBSITE NEEDS A PROGRESSIVE WEB APPLICATION



                     


 If you need a website that enhances user experience and ensures that you do not loose visitors to your site due to connectivity or other technical issues. Then I propose you convert your website to a progressive web application.

Progressive web apps (PWA), are new technologies that combine the best experiences of a web and the best of application. It becomes stronger as the user uses the web application over time. PWA is built with a technology that not only allows your website to earn a place on the users’ home screen, but also hosts the web application live on the home screen without connectivity or need for an application store.

Oyerr.com has got experienced freelance programmers who can build a progressive web application for your website.
                      
           THE BEST FEATURES OF A PROGRESSIVE WEB APPLICATION

Works offline:
A PWA is built with service workers which enhances and enables the web application to work independently offline as well as work with low network connectivity.

App-like:
A PWA has a resemblance of an android application; however it appears on the users’ home screen and re-engages the user through a push notification. It re-opens in real-time even without network connection.

Home screen Shortcut:
This feature of the PWA allows users to install it on their home screen without necessarily going to an application store. You simply add it on your home screen on automated request of your browser.

Frequent update:
As long as the web application is on the home screen, everything that happens online is automatically updated through a service worker update. It re-engages the user both offline and online.

Security:
PWA works with HTTPS. This technology prevents intruders from tampering with the communication between the users and your website. Intruders exploit and sometimes insert advertisement on your website without your permission

Progressive:
A Progressive web application works for every user and

Responsive:
It is operational in desktop, mobile phones, tablets and etc.
