GIGTRICKS: A Freelance And On-demand Ecosystem
According to some sources, there are over 81 million freelancers in the US, Asia and Europe. "Free artists" leave their regular jobs in pursuit of a flexible schedule, the opportunity to work with their own couch and not be limited to customers from one country. This market is growing, as it is deprived of a number of obsolete formalities of traditional business.
At the same time, remote work is connected with financial risk - scammers are found both among performers and clients. Classic exchanges for copywriters, designers, programmers and representatives of other creative professions are constantly being improved, however, there were neither industry standards nor a single center. Perhaps, the empty place will be occupied by the blocking start-up GigTricks.
What is it?
The idea of GigTricks appeared in several e-commerce entrepreneurs and crypto-enthusiasts from the UAE and Saudi Arabia in 2016. A little later they opened an office in Dubai, and a legal office in Gibraltar, where ideal conditions for firms related to crypto-currencies were created.
GigTricks is aimed at creating a global market for freelance services. The first word in the title, "gig" - English "temporary work". There is even an established expression - gig economy, "the economics of services on demand."
A startup from the UAE is entering a rapidly growing market. Its volume in the US alone is $ 1.4 trillion. In 2017, most of the freelancers were in the States (over 50%). In the USA in the "gig contracts" sector there are about 47% of millenials.
No wonder - it's very tempting to work from home.
How it works?
The GigTricks platform is aimed at self-employed specialists and customers. The goal is to promptly pick up a request for the processing of any service by a freelancer. Starters from the UAE want to increase the user base to 2 million by the end of next year.
Functional GigTricks will seem familiar to anyone who has dealt with freelance exchanges.
How to find an order on the platform:
register, fill out the profile, roll out the portfolio, pass verification;
go to the "bulletin board" for orders;
you pick up the arranging project, negotiate with the customer - the details of the transaction are fixed in a smart contract.
GigTricks solves the main problems of existing exchanges:
large commissions towards the site;
risk of loss of money by both the executor and the customer due to the lack of good faith of one of the parties;
significant restrictions on transfers from abroad. Usually such exchanges are strictly regional projects limited by the market of one country.
In GigTricks, commissions will be scanty, and the complexities associated with transnational transfers will disappear by themselves using the GBTC internal token (ERC-20 standard).
GigTricks uses a modular structure, like many projects on a blockbuster.
Modules will be introduced gradually - until the end of 2019:
Marketplace - order tape. Choose, agree and get to work.
Pro - allows the specialist to create a profile-portfolio with the indication of completed tasks, skills, reviews and all sorts of ratings. Analog of the page in LinkedIn. All items in the required order must be confirmed by community members. This is the right decision, because on some exchanges, positive feedback is bought or left on the principle of "let's exchange positive feedback, because both of this will only benefit."
Learning is a platform for sharing experiences, learning / enhancing "skills" in a familiar or new field (technology, business, video, animation, 3D graphics, copywriting, SMM ...). This should simplify the adaptation of newcomers to the platform.
Social - a full social network inside GigTricks. It will be useful for start-ups, typing on the platform team - it's convenient when everyone works, fix actions in smart contracts and communicate on one site.
PoS (= Point of Sale, not to be confused with the abbreviation of the well-known mining algorithm). Module for customers-companies, leading business including "in the real world." Transactions (sales) and customer feedback can be entered in the block.
Why invest in GigTricks?
GigTricks is a startup with a clear concept and huge prospects. At ICO, I am sure that only a small amount of funds will be collected (even if the "hardcap" is reached) from the total investment in the project. The Sheikhs in the UAE are now caring carefully for technological start-ups. Startups are flooded with money.
GigTricks will establish a transparent, comfortable and trustworthy relationship between freelancers and customers. Due to the ease of use of the platform, the "demand-driven" market should grow substantially. Easy integration with external sites will allow you to "drag" your portfolio from them to a new site. Then it, of course, will have to "from and to" confirm - all entries on GigTricks are strictly verified and verified before adding to the block.

Conclusion
Sheikh Mohammed, the emir of Dubai and one of the leaders of the country, is aimed at making the Emirates a bridge connecting the leading firms of the West and the East.
The structure of GigTricks is flexible and exhaustive. It covers all the nuances of remote work. A similar exchange, where all of the above would be collected, simply does not exist. +
A particularly attractive platform should seem to citizens of countries that are hard-pressed by the consequences of the global economic crisis, leaving experienced professionals without clients and income.
