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 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.
