Are you part of the new micro job economy?
Gigbucks.com is a website that brings together buyers and sellers—much like E-Lance or Freelancer.com, except that in this case, most of the jobs are small. They are even described as “micro jobs”, jobs that usually take less than a day to make. Gigbucks.com offers buyers and sellers the chance to post their needs (or services) and then allows interaction and ordering to take place. The services are presided over by PayPal, Alert Pay and credit card companies, ensuring that there is protection against scam artists. There is even a feedback option to warn others about shoddy work quality.
What the Website Offers
Gigbucks.com starts out with an intriguing pitch to the everyday Internet user: “Everybody has a talent! Why not sell yours?” The idea is that everyone can exchange services for money, and they can come from all walks of life. For instance, common orders include custom writing, song writing, programming, online marketing, video artist, translator, SEO, advertisers, business consulting and other custom advice.
The only catch is that Gigbucks.com is a smaller company than eBay and other major freelancing auctions that can create long-term contracts. All of these jobs are small in nature. The price limits are $5 and $50, which encompasses about a day’s work. Unlike major auction sites, Gigbucks.com offers unlimited posting and free posting, something that is unique in the industry. However, they do request users post quality gigs, and create a fair pricing structure so that they can be accepted by the community. The site also deletes duplicate postings as well as gigs that are too similar in content. Moderators provide over the site in order to protect the interests of the company and the buyers and sellers.
About Gigbucks.com
The buyer also has full rights with this arrangement. They can register for a free account and be notified via email whenever something happens. The buyer can also leave feedback for the seller to warn others or praise the seller’s ethic.
The company is based in Bratislava, SK and was created by Internet marketing veterans. Users can search through the site from seller postings, buyer requests, or categories of services, including recent postings, business deals, gift ideas, social media and even the truly silly and bizarre.
The website does require that all buyers pay in advance for services to protect vendors. However, to protect the buyer the money won’t be transferred into the seller account until the project is completed as agreed. The money is deposited from the Gigbucks.com account into the seller’s PayPal or Alert Pay Account. This arrangements protects everyone. It should be noted that payments can sometimes take up to 72 hours for payout requests to be processed.
All services are free though actually posting and interacting with the community requires a registration. Gigbucks.com also requires that users remain anonymous and that they not form long-term working relationships outside of the website.
All in all Gigbucks.com offers a great opportunity for freelancers, independent contractors and buyers who need custom jobs. The fact that it’s a free site only helps to sweeten the deal.
