Kenyan freelancers are strong in writing, virtual assistance, data work and software. Kenya's clock is a few hours ahead of the UK and well ahead of the US, so the American morning falls in the late afternoon and evening in Kenya.
As in most growing freelance markets, skill is rarely the problem. Proof is. A profile that leads with one service and shows evidence of it gets a very different response from one that lists everything the freelancer could do.
When clients start work, in Nairobi time.
When clients on the US East Coast start work at 9:00 am, it is 4:00 pm in Nairobi. That falls inside your own working day, so timing is on your side. What decides the job is how good the proposal is. Our team works on Pakistan Standard Time, which is 2 hours ahead of Nairobi.
| Client market | Their 9:00 am is | Their 5:00 pm is | For you that is |
|---|---|---|---|
| US East Coast (New York) | 4:00 pm | 12:00 am (next day) | the working day |
| US West Coast (San Francisco) | 7:00 pm | 3:00 am (next day) | the evening |
| United Kingdom (London) | 11:00 am | 7:00 pm | the working day |
| Australia (east) (Sydney) | 1:00 am | 9:00 am | the night |
Upwork bidders for every major city in Kenya.
The cities are grouped by county. Each city page tells you what its freelancers are known for, how that changes the bid and when the main client markets start work in local time.
What a dedicated Upwork bidder does for you.
Picks the jobs first
We agree a written targeting profile with you. It covers categories, your lowest budget, client history and warning signs, and it decides which jobs are worth your Connects.
Covers the hours you can't
Someone watches the feed across the time zones your clients post in, so good jobs get an answer while they're still new.
Writes to the brief
Each proposal opens with the client's problem and the piece of your past work that's closest to it. We don't paste templates.
Shows you the record
We log every proposal, view, reply and interview and go through them with you each week. You see real counts.
Questions people ask us.
Do you work with freelancers and agencies in Kenya?
Yes. We work remotely with freelancers and agencies across Kenya, including Nairobi, Mombasa. Our team works on Pakistan Standard Time, which is 2 hours ahead of Nairobi.
Do you have an office in Kenya?
No. Improvexus is based in Pakistan and works with clients in Kenya remotely. We handle the targeting, the proposals and the weekly reports online. We'd sooner tell you that plainly than pretend to be around the corner.
Do you guarantee jobs?
No. The hiring decision is the client's and nobody can promise it. What we commit to is the work, which means the targeting, the proposals and a weekly record, and we show you what came of it.
