However, there are also some challenges associated with online gigs, including:
- – Online competition: the online gig economy is very competitive, so it can be difficult to find work if you are not extremely good at what you do.
- – Low pay: Some online gigs pay very little, especially for entry-level workers.
- – Lack of benefits: Online gig workers are typically not eligible for employee benefits, such as health insurance and paid time off.
- – Uncertainty: Online gig workers can experience uncertainty about their income and workload.
Overall, online gigs can be a great way for you as manager, employee or (future) online business owner to earn extra money online or to create a full-time income. However, it is important to be aware of the challenges associated with online gigs before getting started.
