He asked some if they had signed up on the app. One could download the app, create an account, and list their skills for a potential hire by clients.
Some of the jobs that can be done on Upwork include email, phone and chat support, general virtual assistance, data entry and more.
Speaking to Legit.ng, Olalekan, a seasoned gig economy expert said making money on Upwork depends on many factors.
His words:
"It depends. You can make money immediately after you open your account. It can also take you from one to four weeks. The most important thing is having an optimised/ranked gig. Once your gig is available to the buyers and you have a compelling call to action, you can make sales immediately if the buyers are convinced."
