HOW TO HANDLE DRY SPELLS IN FREELANCING.

Most freelancers treat it like bad weather, wait it out, and hope it passes.

The ones who build real income treat it like a red light on a dashboard. Something broke. Find it.

Here’s how to actually respond to Dry Spells:

First, DIAGNOSE before you do anything else.

Dry spells have three common causes:

1. Your pipeline ran dry.
2. Your positioning is weak, or
3. You’re too dependent on one source.

These are three different problems with three different fixes. Don’t prescribe until you know which one you’re dealing with.

Ask yourself honestly: when was the last time you did proactive outreach? Or did you finish your last gig and… wait?

Most dry spells are pipeline problems dressed up as market problems.

Second, FIX THE SOURCE, not the symptom.

If you’ve been waiting for Upwork to send you invites, stop waiting. That’s not a strategy, that’s hope. This is the time to do the thing you skipped when you were busy: reach out to past clients, show up on LinkedIn, and build relationships with people who hire the kind of work you do.

Platforms are channels, not pipelines. A pipeline is something you own and work on consistently. Build it now, while you have time.

Third, STRENGTHEN your positioning.

If you’re getting views and no replies, your positioning is the problem. Not your skills, your packaging.

What exactly do you say you do? Who do you say you do it for? What result do you promise?

Vague freelancers get ignored. Specific ones get hired. Use this period to tighten your niche, sharpen your offer language, and update your portfolio to reflect the work you actually want more of.

Fourth: SKILL UP selectively.

Not randomly. Not just “the world is changing” vaguely.

Look at what clients in your space are actually paying for right now. Then close the gap between what you offer and what they’re buying. One targeted skill upgrade beats five scattered courses.

Finally, REST if you need it. But call it what it is.

There’s nothing wrong with stepping back to recharge. Freelancing is relentless, and burnout is real.

But be honest about the difference between resting intentionally and avoiding the discomfort of outreach. One refills you. The other delays the problem.

Come back with more energy and a plan. Not just more energy.

A dry spell handled right becomes a setup.

You come out with a tighter offer, a warmer pipeline, a stronger portfolio, and clarity on exactly what went wrong.

That’s not surviving a slow period.

That’s using it.

@Inviiin @UnkleAyo Na una they shout messiah up and down, I’ve never seen any of his real supporters claim he’s a messiah, they only thing they talk about is that he won’t waste public funds but use em in key areas. Everyone I’ve seen called him messiah are always the opposition party members

@coke_C17H21NO4 lol, sense is obviously far from you, Ewedu khor, ila ni. Students don’t make decisions whether management will cancel an event or not, so what’s the dumb “I graduated from OAU” joke you made?

[Surveyor Elias @eliass4all]

When this handle turn official page??? What happened to @OAUniversity?

[Great IFE @TheGreatestIFE]

PRESS STATEMENT: ODUDUWA HALL NOT AVAILABLE FOR PETER OBI’s LECTURE — OAU

The authorities of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, wish to clarify the circumstances surrounding the proposed lecture by His Excellency, Peter Obi, at the University.

The general public is hereby informed that a particular group within the Students’ body extended an invitation to the former Presidential Candidate and two-term Governor of Anambra State to deliver a lecture within the University premises.

The University authorities were not duly informed of the status and calibre of the invited guest until Friday, just a day before the scheduled programme.

It is important to note that events involving high-profile personalities of such standing require adequate prior notification to the University authorities because it will enable the institution to make necessary logistical and security arrangements, including proper liaison with relevant security agencies such as the Nigeria Police and the Department of State Services (DSS), in order to ensure the safety of the guest, members of the University community and the general public.

Consequently, given the short notice and the attendant inability to complete these critical arrangements, the University authorities could not approve the use of Oduduwa Hall for the event as requested by the organisers.

The decision was taken purely in the interest of safety, orderliness and adherence to established protocols governing the use of University facilities, adding that it is not, in any way, a reflection of disregard for the person or status of His Excellency, Peter Obi, whom the University holds in high esteem.

The Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Adebayo Simeon Bamire is, and remains committed to supporting intellectual engagements and hosting distinguished personalities, provided that due process is followed and adequate notice is given.

Members of the University community, students and the general public are therefore enjoined to always comply with laid-down procedures in planning events within the University because we all are partners in progress for the overall development of the University.

[Surveyor Elias @eliass4all]

@coke_C17H21NO4 @TheGreatestIFE Na because say you no get sense make you no sabi say OAU don’t make the decisions as to whether they’ll cancel event or not

[Surveyor Elias @eliass4all]

@huygradi People wey head dy pain 😂😂😂 thank God say person don find him bearing before signing out, person for don rethink him life like this.

[Surveyor Elias @eliass4all]

That’s the other thing they know how to do apart from frustrating their students. To release certificates too na issue, make 2024 graduates never see certificate collect.

Troubling Developments from the citadel of learning.

The reason Universities are regarded as an ivory tower is because its seen as centres for pure, isolated intellectual thought. It's therefore worrisome when they are increasingly pressured to operate outside this norm.

Today, I was scheduled to be at Obafemi Awolowo University at 9am prompt to deliver a keynote lecture, before proceeding to Ibadan for the opposition parties' political summit scheduled to commence at 12noon. The invitation was extended to me several months ago, and adequate preparations had been made. Regrettably, I received the news that the event would no longer be held in the University as planned.

While such occurrences may be dismissed in isolation, it is important to state clearly that this has now happened more than ten times. This is no longer incidental; it points to a troubling pattern that should concern all well-meaning Nigerians. My alma mater, the University of Nigeria, Nsukka was not excluded. The family of one of the renowned UNN Vice Chancellor late Professor Frank Ndili had planned an annual lecture on his behalf and the inaugural lecture was to be delivered, but on the scheduled date it was cancelled by the University authority.

These are not merely personal inconveniences; they raise deeper questions about the kind of environment we are nurturing in our country. Universities are meant to be centres of learning, open dialogue, and the free exchange of ideas. When platforms for constructive engagement are repeatedly constrained, it reflects a worrying shift away from these ideals.

This concern becomes even more pronounced when viewed against my engagements across the world, where I have been privileged to speak and interact freely with students and scholars in respected institutions. In the past 24 months, I have delivered lectures in notable universities globally including Oxford University, Cambridge University, Harvard University, Yale University, Princeton University, Chicago University, University of Pennsylvania, Imperial College, to name a few. Those environments continue to demonstrate openness to dialogue, critical thinking, and shared learning, values that should equally define our own institutions.

We must ask ourselves: what kind of nation are we building if spaces meant for intellectual engagement are gradually shrinking? A country’s progress is anchored on its ability to encourage knowledge, debate, and the contest of ideas, not restrict them.

Nigeria must work towards becoming a place where ideas thrive, where knowledge is shared without fear, and where our institutions uphold the principles they were established to protect.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
