Before you rush to DM me for this job on Whatsapp, carefully go through the 4-point checklist below.

For the last 2 jobs I posted I deleted from my WHATAPP about 24 people that contacted me because they were misfits, a waste of time, highly unserious, hence this strict Warning to them and others like them on this forum!

1.❌ Do not contact me if you have no experience whatsoever in blog article writing. If you're a complete novice gambling around with writing, keep off!!! If you try it, I'll screenshot your chat and phone number and post it here on this forum, under this offer, for everyone to see. I'm tired of the nonsense!

2. ❌Also, don't DM if you don't have time, a good device (phone or laptop), and power supply to do the work. Keep off, I don't need you!

3.❌ I don't give money for data. Stop playing! You're a freelancer, so you're an independent business owner. Stop jonxing. You're responsible for everything to run your business. Merely asking me for data means you're not serious. Is like a carpenter asking someone hiring him to buy him hammer or saw to do a job. Like seriously

4.❌ Finally, if you can't write in simple English (I don't need big verbose grammar), without plagiarizing, and without using AI, please don't bother.

If you're not any of what I described above, then see the job below and DM me on Whatsapp.

Please, don't send me any CV or letter. Just DM with 2 samples and request to get the job and you may have it.

This job is a blog article writing job in the tourism niche.

Expected word count is 2000 words.

Pay is N2000 per topic you do.

There are about 20 topics.

The job is simply to rewrite existing content on Google, put a brief introduction and a brief conclusion and submit.

No extensive research is needed.

No stats is needed.

No diagram is needed.

No much thinking is needed.

Just compile information from 1 or 2 sites, arrange them and rewrite briefly, package it together and submit. That's all

So, it's not anything tedious ...even a child in JSS 2 can do this job! It's very simple...

Don't use ChatGPT. I'll know.

The job is on PAY AS YOU DO basis...and you get paid for every 3 articles you submit within 48 hours.

Failure to submit all 3 articles within 48 hours, your pay for the first article will be delayed by 72 hours. Hence, if you can't submit your jobs within 48 hours, stay off this offer and DO NOT CONTACT ME.

This is business, so no jokes!

I'll pay you N6000 per the 3 topics you do 2 hours after you submit the 3rd article. The 2 hours interval is for me to check the article and process your payment.

If you can do 3 topics in a day and submit you'll be paid the same day but the articles must be good and meet the requirements.

I don't delay pay if your work is good...and if your work isn't that bad, I'll ask you to redo it and still pay you.

But I'll not pay you if you send me rubbish.

The good thing is there's a sample for you to mirror and do the work. I'll give you the sample to see the format...which means I'm serious about you getting your money!!!

DM me if you're interested in this job.

WhatsApp: 07085763316

Mind you, replying to my job offer to comment nonsense is a waste of your time. It means you don't have what to do with your time. This is an offer. So, you can either take it or leave it. I've outlined what I want and what I can pay. So, if you're not comfortable with it, take a walk. Rush to Fiverr and Upwork, no one is holding you. Don't play God here -you'll be wasting your time with your replies here.

I understand your frustration which I think is linked to the series of failures you've had via DM but still bro, this advert reeks too much of rudeness. There is should a subtle way to pass a message without outrightly sounding demeaning.

You advertised an offer and anyone reading could sense your anger and disrespect in every word. If it were to be in the USA or any working environment, I am sure this wouldn't be posted.

Anyway, good luck to everyone who would be sending that DM

Untill you're bitten, you'll always think the guy grinning is having fun.

Do you know the volume of rubbish, incompetent people I've had to delete from my WhatsApp every time I post an offer?

I've passed my message. You may take it as rudeness but it's what it is.

I'm tired of nonsensical people disturbing my DM, complete misfits and mediocre. The USA doesn't tolerate or condone nonsense. I have people there.

In the USA and other first world countries you don't apply to jobs you don't qualify, you keep to time, you follow the process.

So, don't tell me shit about the USA except it's the USA I don't know.

It's only in this country that a bricklayer who lost his job jumps on writing as an avenue to make quick bucks. What insanity!

I call shit what it is. I don't sweet mouth anything to be what it's not.

Slave master, e no go better for you with this rate.

This poster should be arreste. 2k for 2k words deserves FSLC holders only.

N1/word and you're complaining of getting inexperienced writers?

What do you expect really?

Write your articles yourself or spend good money to get quality writers.

Because you want to give people 2k per 2k words job you are emitting this rudeness

Do it yourself if e easy.

Imagine a meagre of 2k per 2k words and you are portraying all these rudeness
No be your fault na Nigeria government I blame

When you post a job offer different people will submit CV, both qualified and unqualified people will show interest, that is why there is always an interview before giving people job.

I wonder how discourteous you will sound when talking to your employers if you have one.

Bosses like you demoralize their staffers!

This guy no ready change… it’s in you boss

I remember this: https://www.nairaland.com/7302957/40k-writing-task#116139277

Well, you’re improving. At least you’ve moved from 70k to N1 per word.

Dollar to naira is 1,500
Fuel around 1k

Keep it up. Keep disgracing yourself on the internet.


1Naira per word
No AI

Simple tasks, even a JSS2 student can do; yet people without blogging experience shouldn’t contact you; else you will kill and bury them with thunder.

You no get family members wey de JSS? Them no go like de make quick cash from such simple tasks?

Just imagine the words you use. I pity anyone who becomes so unfortunate to work for you.

Ozuor

Listen to yourself, "both qualified people and unqualified people will show interest"

That's the dumbest thing I've heard today coming from someone who feels everyone has time to waste like he does.

I've done my interview already by screening the unqualified hence my 4 point checklist.

Who doesn't qualify should keep off...it's as simple as that.

I say NO!

If you don't qualify, don't waste my time, KEEP OFF!

Don't you see how stupid you sound right now
?

At least I can pay the little I have.

I'm not those who promise #10/word but won't pay you after the work.

I don't salt my instructions. You take it or leave it. It's not by force!

If my pay pains you, hire and pay the millions you want to pay. I'm not stopping you.

I pay what I have. I count my teeth with my tongue. I'm not here to impress your ass...go and sit down!

You your work is to idle on this forum criticizing people's offers, arguing on posts, complaining, and insulting people.

I've gone through your posts and I can see you're such a jobless idiot. I don't have your time.

And since you want to stay a writer you'll stay a writer forever, mumu. I started as a writer like you many years ago now I've been able to build up to where I can hire people.

But since you're a fool...instead of minding your business and growing steadily all you do is move from post to post to show your stupidity.

You think your stupidity and comics will stop my progress? You're playing. Keep jonxing.

Don't know OP, but this is funny.

Have you tried getting writing jobs as a Nigerian? If the rate is not good enough, let such people source for jobs themselves.

Lol, till you enter this thing before you know the stress involved.

And if you know anything about the writing industry in Nigeria, you'd know that paying a lot is not a guarantee of good work. In my own experience, many writers are crap writers, like the OP said. Offering them a lot of money is like paying a lot of money for a crap car. It's still crap, you're just paying a lot because you don't know.

God bless you richly Sir.

I've deleted over 30 idiots so far within the past 72 hours who don't know shit about writing, time keeping, delivery.

Complete idiots who just rush into writing thinking it's the fast cashout option.

I don't have the time I'd post some screenshots of their dumbness on this platform for prospective hirers to avoid them.

And these are the idiots I should be paying high rate? Many so-called writers on this platform are comical. Untill you engage them you don't know how useless most of them are.

Thank you very much.

Yes, if my rate is so low, then they should go get the jobs themselves if it's that easy!

They don't know how one manages to get a small job and would pay them sometimes 80% of the rate just to deliver the client's job on time

Yet, they'll come here to chant rubbish.

Anyone who doesn't like my offer should go get it him/herself. I don't hold anyone.

You make jest of my offer, what has it fetched you? Even with your rubbish comment over 30 people have contacted me for this offer and the other 2 that I posted last week.

Hmmmmm

So I ask: have you tried opening a company in Nigeria?

Does that mean because opening a business in Nigeria is difficult, so businesses owners are justified to enslave workers, pay 10k a month with all manner of insults and threats?

Agba writer, Mark Twain, Earnest Hemingway, I know nothing about the writing industry. You have no justification whatsoever for offering “writers with blogging experience” 1 naira per word. NO reasonable justification.

Getting crappy content from so-called writers isn’t a Nigerian thing. Rubbish writers full Fiverr and Upwork. Agba experienced writer, you should know that better than the inexperienced me.

Any one who claims to have writing experience should know to do thorough screening. Of course, as someone rightly said, both the qualified and unqualified will definitely apply to job openings.

You then do your checks to pick the standard you want.

You de find quality shey? Watin stop you from sourcing them on platforms like Upwork and Fiverr? At least, the reviews/testimonials from past clients will sift the good from the bad. But you no go bold carry your 1N-per-word mentality enter there.

Stop making me talk too much. It’s a general rule; you get what you pay for.

Na only person wey no get shame and sense go call out someone you paid 1 naira per word for submitting crappy content.

My Point: OP is shameless and senseless

If the N1 per word offer is too low, go and pick it from the gutters na.

N1 per word offer is worse than 15k a month teaching job people do all over this country or you want to pretend it's not happening and people are applying en masse?

When you want to play Messiah you should have a better alternative at hand. If you don't, keep quiet. No one needs your opinion here.

If you like talk till next week, you're only wasting your time because in this country it's all man to himself and it's an individual that will decide what he wants to do and what he doesn't want to do.

If you think that because of this your rubbish analysis people will not do what's best for them then you'll tell whether na you go pay their bills.

I pay what I can afford. If my offer irks you, create a thread and post your offer with the high pay not just commenting rubbish on another person's offer without providing a better alternative.

That's when people will listen to you...till then, no one cares about your cries because you don't feed anyone here.

For your information, someone doing 3 sets of this job in 3 days earns the equivalent of a person serving as a private security personnel, or classroom teacher in a private firm in some states in this country for 1 month.

Since 2018 (6 years) you’ve been looking for writers.

On every thread you open, you end up cursing and crying.

Your most recent testimony is the “30 idiots” (imagine what a human being calls his fellow for 1 naira per word) you deleted for submitting useless content (Contents that are a little more useful than yourself, though)

Now who is the bigger fuul?

Na advice I been de try give you, Mugu…

In the next ten years, with this your gutter attitude and mindset, you’ll keep shedding hot tears over the internet, looking for JSS2 students that will write for you.

After over half-a-decade, na 1 naira you still de offer your writers. Is that growth?

Person de advice you, but no, you prefer to perish in your ignorance.

He who mumus alone, perishes alone.

Try no mention me again. Good luck

Kul3ger, can I see your offers?

Na you dey my pocket to advice me how much I should pay?

How can one be more stupid than this? What concerns you with how I run my stuff?

If you don't like my offers do you think others won't or don't take it?

Sorry, they do.

Keep your stupid advice to yourself, I don't need it. If I had more I'd have paid more. Right now, this is what I can pay and it's only for those who would take it.

I don't force anyone to take my low paying offers. So, get lost with your stupidity.

It would pay you to mind your business!

Hahahaha....merely being in this section and lamenting over another person's offers shows how worthless you are with your time!

For you to even be in this job section looking for a job shows how rich you are.

Lol.

I don't lick ass with my offers. If you're an idiot I call you an idiot!

And no idiot should contact me again!

Now to the writers, if you say my pay is too small, take your knowledge and put in the pot and cook. Open it and serve yourself.

Sooner, you'll realize that having knowledge but you can't monetize it is as useless as not having it.

If you like listen to jokers like this person who you don't know from Adam, who can't give you N100 to buy sachet water if you're thirsty.

Or, do what you have to do for your life.

The choice is yours!

I’ve seen many of such offers and passed. It’s actually not my business how you run your business.

But your attitude is the chief concern. And you can’t put up that nonsense you called a job ad on public space and don’t expect reactions.

A m*d man who displays his unclothedness in public should expect reactions. He’ll be very very very m*d, like you, to say “everybody mind your business”. No, your gutter behavior is my business bro.

Otherwise, get your a** off social media space or stop exposing your inherent stup*dity.

You will make sense when you show me the offers you've made here and how much you paid!

Else, you say nothing.

My Point: OP is shameless and senseless

You just reinforced my point that you know nothing about the writing industry and talent in Nigeria.

I have two businesses running in Nigeria, one physical and one online. So I know what I'm saying.

As far as writing and freelancing in general is concerned, many Nigerian writers are crap. They may not be terrible people, but many are terrible writers. I offered them N3, N5, N7 per word, I still got crap work back. What do you say for that? I wasted money thinking the more I paid them, the better they'll get. They just took the money and still delivered shit work.

So now I don't pay you that high. I pay a bit, train you for free and when I can trust you, I increase your pay. Don't like that? Go and look for your own jobs, secure trust with your own clients, and tell me how easy it is.

As for hiring on Upwork, been there, done that. When you get paid N10 per word for a job, pay someone else N8 per word because you want a premium job. Nah body go tell you.
And it's not even like the foreigners you seem to hold in high esteem don't compete for jobs with low pay, even on Upwork or Fiverr. The message is simple; get good, or get low pay. And this works anywhere in the world.


Yes, you get what you pay for, but also yes, sometimes you don't, especially with Nigerians. Haven't you gone to "exquisite" restaurants only to be treated shabbily and served crap food?

Pls let's not defend the indefensible.

ekems2020:
God bless you richly Sir.

I've deleted over 30 idiots so far within the past 72 hours who don't know shit about writing, time keeping, delivery.

Complete idiots who just rush into writing thinking it's the fast cashout option.

I don't have the time I'd post some screenshots of their dumbness on this platform for prospective hirers to avoid them.

And these are the idiots I should be paying high rate? Many so-called writers on this platform are comical. Untill you engage them you don't know how useless most of them are.

On this we agree. Many here, so called writers are just very terrible at the job they do. They won't upgrade themselves, won't go for courses and conferences to maximise their talents, but want to be paid big bucks.

Where in the world does that happen?

Most people don't understand how the world runs at all, and it shows.

Most of you attacking the OP have no better offers to give, nothing constructive to say. Just insults and curses.

Why am I not surprised?

theadeola:


You just reinforced my point that you know nothing about the writing industry and talent in Nigeria.

Thank you sir. I tried to ignore, but I couldn’t. And today, I de very less busy. Yes, boss. I know nothing. Lol

theadeola:


As far as writing and freelancing in general is concerned, many Nigerian writers are crap. I offered them N3, N5, N7 per word, I still got crap work back. What do you say for that?

Who did you offer?

theadeola:


I wasted money thinking the more I paid them, the better they'll get. They just took the money and still delivered shit work.

That’s still your fault. Bad inexperienced writers do not automatically become good because you tripled the rates.

theadeola:


So now I don't pay you that high. I pay a bit, train you for free and when I can trust you, I increase your pay.

Better. But your ads should not be targeted at ‘experienced’ ‘seasoned,’ ‘with Bleep years experience’ and all the high bars you guys set, only to end the ads with a N2/word tag.

theadeola:


As for hiring on Upwork, been there, done that. When you get paid N10 per word for a job, pay someone else N8 per word because you want a premium job.

I think here is the genesis of the problem.. You go on a dollar-based platform like Upwork scouting for N10/word gigs.

My friend, that’s $6 for 1000 words. Sh*t

That’s not even the problem if you jejely do it on your own and earn the whole. No, You take up the tasks then come on Nairaland finding “experienced slaves writers” among your countrymen to handle the tasks. After all, hungry jobless people full your country.

It becomes unprofitable to outsource same jobs at a decent rate, yet you de find Agba writer with Bleep years training and certifications to deliver flawless ready-to-deliver gigs.

And it's not even like the foreigners you seem to hold in high esteem don't compete for jobs with low pay, even on Upwork or Fiverr. The message is simple; get good, or get low pay. And this works anywhere in the world.

So, oga, you expect someone that has ‘gotten good’ like their international counterpart to do a N3 per word gig?

You keep contradicting yourself. I repeat, Do not expect industry-grade quality from people competing for low pay jobs ( wether here or abroad) and don’t make it a Nigerian-only thing. Of course, developing zones like Nigeria, India, etc are Chief culprits and for obvious reasons, but it’s a general rule

theadeola:


Yes, you get what you pay for, but also yes, sometimes you don't, especially with Nigerians.

I am Nigerian. I’ve been on this platform for years. I’ve bided for and accepted gigs from hirers here a few times.

I have never had a bad review.

But you can’t come asking for a well researched, SE-Optimized, premium-grammarly-vetted, CopyScape-checked, well-structured, AP-Styled, zero-AI writing gig for N5 per word. You nor know watin you de find nao.

For example, I have a nairalander still contact me after he first reached out since 2018. He still outsource his gigs when I’m less occupied and money no de hand.

But what does he pay? Sometimes, over #20 per word. To date, I’m the first person he contacts when he has writing gigs.

Funnily, I always ask him to preview before delivery; at least, for that third-eye perspective. But he always laughs it off. He doesn’t open my work; he sends to his client straight up—Always. And he doesn’t even need to understand the job requirement, he sends the order instructions to me straight up, too.

No, I no be Nigerian. I be Jamaican.

theadeola:

If you go restaurant without firsthand customer testimonials, any rubbish you chop, na you sabi na.

My point: Your recruitment process should go beyond polished cover letters and CVs.

Ask for samples that reflects the writing style you seek. Further, request PAID tests. If the key elements in the samples and paid test are consistent, then nobody tells you that’s a good writer. If you wish to push it further, ask to hop on a call with the prospect.

These are common global standards.

But no. You guys won’t do that ‘cause your budget doesn’t even meet the standard you desire.

theadeola:


Pls let's not defend the indefensible.

I’m not defending anyone. I’m a writer. So, I shouldn’t keep mum when ‘Nairaland writers’ are dragged.

Besides, there’s no such thing as ‘Nairaland Writers’. Some people you see read on this faceless forum have some of the top-rated writing services on Upwork and co. Or, those wans no join your ‘Nairaland writers’ category? So, anybody wey send you a “Re: I am a writer” application email, you don quick quick qualify them as ‘Nairaland writer’, ba?

You and your brother, Ekems2020, should stopiiit
