There are many freelancing sites that can help land you gigs and today we'll be talking about a special one, PeoplePerHour.com, and amazingly they give out free £30 to anyone that will sign-up with this link.
So if you really want the £30, I'll advise you to create an account now.
How To Create An Account In PeoplePerHour
- Visit the official website
This is the first step, by creating an account you'll also be automatically credited with £30. I wish someone told me this, I just used the official website and lost my own...lol.
- Click on GET YOU £30 VOUCHER
- Fill in the form and click on submit
Boom, you'll be credited with your $35.
That was easy right?
Does PeoplePerHour.com Allow Nigerians?
Yes, I'm a Nigerian and my account was approved by them. All countries are eligible to apply and they are honest in accepting freelancers. You get the same pay rate with an American and qualify for the same jobs whether you are an African, Asian, Australian or European. If you want to be approved, you need to:
✓ Be honest in filling your details.
✓ Sound professional while filling the form
✓ Take there test, the questions are very easy.The test is not a criteria for approval but it helps you in getting jobs. It is over 100 and to pass you need to have at least 70%. When I took mine, I got 75%, not bad right?
✓ Verify your email. It's normal with every site, all you have to do is to click on the link that will be sent to your inbox.
How To Get Jobs On PeoplePerHour
There are two ways of getting jobs on PeoplePerHour:
- Posting hourlies: This is similar to posting a gig on Fiverr but the only difference is that the team will approve it before it goes live. You need to create an image
- Bidding for jobs: This is the second way of landing clients on PeoplePerHour and it works very well. All you need is to visit the 'Browse Jobs Section' on the top right of your account. This is what a typical job-page looks like.
Aside bidding for open jobs, they also send email on opportunities that are available based on your profile. This is a screenshot of the recent job that was sent to my mail.
