With the lockdown due to COVID-19 across the world, many jobs are threatened and there seem to be uncertainty about the security of jobs but guess what? Thousands of people are making a living on remote job platforms as freelancers.  I personally know a few. and Gbenga Adebiyi is one of them, he has been working on UpWork since 2014. He has also trained 100s of people who are making a living on the platform too.

I hosted Gbenga Adebiy on the Remote Work session webinar on Monday 20th April 2020 and we discussed how to get started on UpWork, writing dope profiles and proposals and most importantly landing your first job as a beginner on the platform among other things.
