2. What specific need or problem does it address?
For managers and entrepreneurs, it's a great place to outsource and buy services to save money & time, and remove the stresses of hiring.
For freelancers, students and many others, it's a great place to offer and sell your services to earn extra income on your spare time.
3. How did it start?
The idea to put up 199Jobs came from the realization that there is a need to provide individuals, particularly freelancers and managers, an easy and convenient way to connect and work together.
The marketplace was born from that goal, and we have been working since early this year to help people make money and get things done.
4. How does it work?
It works like your regular classified ads website, but instead of products, all the listings are services with the basic price of P199.
If you want to make money from your skills, all you have to do is post a job, upload some sample works, market your page and wait for people to buy your jobs.
If you're looking to outsource some work, then you can navigate or search through the site until you find someone who can do the task you need. After that, it's as straightforward as ordering the job and then communicating with the seller on how to accomplish the job needed.
