This is mostly a puff piece touting their new investment. The idea of "gig" marketplaces isn't exactly revolutionary, and Gigster is far from the only (or best) one. But you would certainly think it is if the only information you had about this space was gleaned from this article. I actually kept looking for the "sponsored article" disclaimer based on how it was written.
- throw8888 9y agoAny insights on what's better than Gigster? Asking for meself.
- elsewhen 9y agoTopTal.
- throw8888 9y agoHow is it better? TopTal pays 3-5 times less and differentiates rates by country where contractor resides.
- oldboyFX 9y agoSo you're saying that Gigster pays their subs ~$180/h? That's over $330,000 per year. So how much do they charge clients then? ~$300/h? I doubt it. Their prices are probably similar to TopTals.
- throw8888 9y agoGigster offers fixed price projects, based on $100-150/hr rate. If you manage to get things done faster, which can happen pretty often, you end up with rate even better. And yes, it's possible to make that amount of $ on gigster
- nathan_f77 9y agoNo way, the rates on TopTal are terrible. I was using them for a while but won't go back unless I really need some work. I think you can get paid much, much more on platforms such as Gigster and 10X Management.
- Lordarminius 9y agoNot the first. maybe not the best either, but they are executing well and monetizing. That's what matters.
