Find ways to earn: Opportunity Explorer
Real requests you could answer, what people nearby searched for and didn't find, and ideas for what you could offer.
Tap Create, then Find opportunities (or open it from My whodo). It has three kinds of opportunity, each labelled:
- Customer requests: real requests from people nearby that your businesses fit (the kind of work you do, where you work and any credential it needs). You see how many are open, how many aren't answered yet and how many asked you by name. Answering is done by a business: start one if you don't have one.
- Market gaps: kinds of work people in a town searched for and found little of, with how many different people and how many businesses offer it there. A gap shows only once enough different people have searched (10 within 30 days). Pick another Town or city and Province and tap Look to see elsewhere.
- What could I offer?: say What do you have, know or like to do? ("I have a pickup truck and free weekends") and tap Get ideas.
Ideas
Each idea says An idea, not a request, with any real open requests for it in your province and how many people nearby searched for it. Tap Offer this (or Offer it as your business, or Offer it yourself): Add an offering opens with the words and the kind of thing filled in.
On Add an offering, Not sure? Get ideas brings you here.
For a business
The requests themselves are answered from your business's Requests page: see Answer requests. Your business's Marketing → Suggestions shows the gaps next to what you already do: see Your numbers and suggestions.
Honest numbers
Everything comes from real requests and searches, by town, never by person. Market gaps and ideas show opportunity, not a guarantee of work or income.
