#steemgigs Are ............
@steemgigs had further discussion and one thing has stayed obvious; we need to explain in simple terms what a #steemgig is and how steemians can publish their very first #steemgig or set of #steemgigs.
#steemgigs is a steemit community-driven endeavor that aims at using Steemit to fix Fiverr!
If you didn't know; Fiverr is a marketplace for freelancers or entrepreneurs, who offer their creative services for 5 $. There are several other such marketplaces like freelancer.com for instance but we pick fiverr.com because Fiverr does stand out as also an entertaining place to hangout as the freelancers on Fiverr, tend to be really creative, weird, random etc in the kind of gigs they offer! For instance, on Fiverr, you can find something like this:
"I will write your brand name on my naked big belly and run all over the streets of Kuala Lumpur for 5 dollars!"
With all this said, Fiverr still has a ton of problems, that steemit instantly fixes! Here are popular ones:
Problems of Fiverr that Steemit Easily Fixes.
1. Fees: Fiverr takes $1 away from each $5 freelancer's earning. They also have freelancers redeem their payments to Paypal and Paypal also has fees! (When ever third party merchants are involved, you can be sure that there are fees!)
2. Censorship: Your about-to-be-published gigs have to go through a screening process till it is approved. Sometimes this process can be slow and in some cases hectic as you are required to edit and edit and in some cases, you gigs can outrightly be disapproved. (NB: If your gigs stay inactive for a period of time, they are put on hold or paused and will no longer show in the Fiverr search results!)
3. Traffic: Fiverr has a search engine for its gigs, with an algorithm similar to giant search engines like Google, Bing etc. "Mostly the popular gigs get seen!"
(The truth is, on Fiverr you can have the very best gigs and just not get seen.)
4. Trust: To decide on whether to avail of a Fiverr gig; you have to base your trust, mostly on reviews and sometimes off of Fiverr’s ratings!
5. Chargebacks: This is common with financial institutions and third party merchants.
6. Ease of paying for gigs: If you don’t have a credit card; Paypal; or funds earned from your own gigs; how do you avail of gigs that you love?
7. Financial loss: Fiverr can go offline. (On centralized or non-blockchain server, database loss is always a fear!)
8. Privacy: Fiverr is not very private! You may have to reveal your personal information.
Steemit and Steem Blockchain Is Already Providing Many Nations With Basic Income!
There is no doubt that Steemit, being a social community of reputable great minds built on a superfast steem blockchain with zero fees, instantly fixes Fiverr and provides new streams of basic income to humanity!
We acknowledge that peerhub.com exists but the whole #steemgig endeavor is aimed at getting the word out and announcing Steemit not only "a fix for Fiverr" but ultimately "a fix for poverty and a means to provide the world with basic income!"
Steemit has been around for only a year and has already start to provide steemians with basic income!
A recent testimony is evident in this #steemgig testimonial posts:
My SteemGig Experience; It's More Than Just Working To Get Paid.
The Old Dog Reports: In Africa, Steemit is Changing One Life At A Time. Meet @fisteganos
In many countries, 5$ can still perform wonders. Looking at the case of @fisteganos, he was able to complete a video transcription #steemgig for 50 SBD and to make matters even more interesting; he also the luxury of doing a testimonial post about his #steemgigs experience, which fetched him further income!
"Everyone has something to offer!"
Note that @fisteganos isn't a video transcription pro but he was able to get a tip from a another steemian in the comment section, which helped him finish the #steemgig in record time!
Again; "Steemit holds great minds!"
