I was advised to add relevant keywords that will make my page more visible, offer promo deals to quickly rack up gigs and to my utmost surprise, many gigs started coming in, Though, I am based in Osun, I have completed over 21 jobs and 97% of my transactions have been with clients 50 miles apart, no distance barrier on TERAWORK<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I feel the PromoStore has been the greatest add-on which TERAWORK used to make freelancer\u2019s work easier. As a seller, it drives in more gigs for you faster and as a buyer, it helps get access to top professional services at discount rates. TERAWORK is one of the best freelancing platforms in Africa and I will recommend it to others. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;18px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>Adepetun, now a graduate, had a full-blown side hustle in just 3 weeks<\/p>\n<p>I found his story quite interesting as it buttresses the points made in one of our recent blog titled \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.terawork.com\/5-reasons-you-are-not-selling-on-terawork\/\" title=\"5 Reasons You are Not Selling on TERAWORK\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external\">5 Reasons You Are Not Selling On TERAWORK and How To Fix It<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Key takeaway: Build impressive profiles and offer promo deals to get noticed, win client\u2019s trust and start flying high.<\/p>\n<p>You can be like Adepetun Opeyemi with an amazing success story, kindly click <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1l7Hp76SnwXTGCQtyMKtzeWWczd16YS6Hs4USXl1scDg\/viewform?edit_requested=true\" title=\"PromoStore Form\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external\">here<\/a> to inform us about your promo deals.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Recently, I had the privilege to chat with a freelancer on TERAWORK.
