Initial release.
In today's world we have all seen the need to be able to work from home. Some of us want to be able to keep doing that even in the future while others can't wait to return to our stores and offices. Whatever the case may be for you, you need more avenues to be able to work from home and grow your business so you don't have to rely upon things being open but also to supplement your standard business. Gig Island is your answer.
What is GigIsland?
GigIsland is a virtual space where gig buyers and sellers buy and sell freely as part of a powerful community of individuals and businesses that realize the value of making services and goods available to others at pricing that allows everyone to benefit from them while sellers earn an income free of normal marketplace obstacles. On GigIsland community members come from all around the world. You can buy from and sell to people from over 180 countries worldwide.
Just visualize:
- No commissions, no buyers fees: other sites would have you believe you have to pay them not the sellers in order for the transactions to be safe. We believe that many payment services already offer a high degree of customer protection. For a variety of reasons though, you can also pay directly via the site.
- No blocking accounts arbitrarily.
- There is a fair chance for all sellers to have their gigs become hits! That’s right, we're building superstar sellers. We treat every member as a valuable asset to the GigIsland community. In addition to randomly featuring gigs to help get them to the maximum amount of potential clients, we've created easy and inexpensive ways for sellers to stand-out.
Is it safe to be a GigIsland buyer?
If you have not done business with a seller in the past and they do not have many reviews then consider using our platform for your initial transaction, even if the seller requests elsewise. We won't release the payment to the seller until your job is satisfactorily completed. If you communicate off platform and they make strange requests or attempt to make changes from what you agreed upon do not accept and let us know. You are never alone on Gig Island. Our island community protection team is always ready to help.
