Need a Freelancer? Start With a Microgig
For business owners, it’s a smart way to test out a new freelancer or virtual assistant (VA) before giving them big work. You don’t have to risk a lot of money or time — just give one small task and see how well they do.
For freelancers and VAs, it’s a chance to show your skills, get paid, and prove you can do great work — even if it’s your first time working with a client.
It’s like trying a small slice of cake before buying the whole thing. If you like it, you can order more!
💡 How It Works:
Pick a Microgig – Choose one small task like setting up your brand, writing content, or handling customer questions.
Hire a Freelancer or VA – Someone with the right skills will take on the job.
Get Results Fast – The task is finished quickly so you can see if it’s a good match.
Decide What’s Next – If you’re happy, you can work together again on bigger projects!
