Freelance employment is an inevitable trend in the future.
Ye Guowen, founder of Jishi APP, said: Skills sharing platforms such as Jishi are committed to reducing the cost of personal interests and expanding horizons, and promoting the realization of time surplus and cognitive surplus value in the field of crowdsourcing of science and technology in China. This is a product of the times and an innovation that promotes the progress of the times.
Some scholars have suggested that human beings have entered the Internet era, and the monopoly of resources and the concentration of discourse power have begun to be contested and carved up. Everyone can speak in the field, and everyone can trade with the world with the help of the Internet, without being attached to a powerful institution or organization. In this way, the traditional industry gradually changed from monopoly mode to crowdsourcing mode, and freelancers came into being.
Many young people who are tired of working nine to five regularly and yearning for freedom have long been eager to quit their jobs and become freelancers. This is the slogan of the new era.
The skill sharing platform gives freelancers more choices.
However, is it really as simple as you think to be a freelancer? Quite a few people will say, "I really want to quit my job. I don't want to be scolded by my boss. I don't want to squeeze into the subway during rush hours. I don't want to work overtime on weekends and have no overtime pay. I don't want to have only seven days off a year. I want to take time off to travel, but I don't know what to do after I quit." "I really want to do something for myself, but after thinking about it for so many years, I don't have the courage to really give up my present life."
Most people long for "freedom", but there is no "occupation" where they can settle down. So that for so many years, the employment field of freelancers has been limited to freelance translators, photographers, illustrators, writers, designers and self-employed. The mobile Internet is developing in the direction of expanding these fields. In order to solve the employment problem of more people and the ideal of freelancing, a platform for sharing knowledge, skills, information and other resources and realizing time has emerged.
In the field of single-network car rental, the data shows that it can absorb more than 654.38+10,000 full-time drivers every year. They are professional drivers, but they are freelancers. I once chatted with an online car driver and learned that he used to be a nine-to-five office worker. Because he occasionally works as a network car driver, he feels that this is the life he longs for. So I quit my dissatisfied job and drove full-time. However, according to his own statement: when you want to drive, go out and drive; Don't go out when you want to stay at home; You can take a trip at any time. What's better, you don't have to worry about no one to accompany you.
In all kinds of Witkey service platforms, the annual transaction volume is hundreds of millions, which shows that it attracts a large number of freelancers. In the extreme, such a life service platform can absorb more types and quantities of occupations. Skills service providers can make a living by their own skills, such as painting, singing, design, planning and other quite traditional skills; Of course, you can also have a good voice and chat, which is not a very traditional skill. According to statistics, the market share of "chatting with you" will exceed 20 billion in 20 17, which shows that the prospect of this kind of "skill" is also considerable. Unskilled service providers can do some idle work according to their own time, such as running errands, which is a lightweight service. The demand for this service on the platform is quite large. Small and beautiful services will accumulate, and there will be considerable income.
Low threshold and many categories make freelancing the choice of most people.
In the period when there is no network platform, if you want to be a freelancer and support yourself, you must be a prominent figure in the industry. At that time, people's impression of "freelancers" was: unreliable, without food and security.
However, now people can use various social networks and Witkey platforms to build their own personal brands, and freelancing is no longer exclusive to some people who have their own brand light. With the launch of the new grabbing mode of Extreme APP, Ye Guowen said: Freelance will be the choice of most people in the future.
According to a social survey, 78% of the post-90s generation want to engage in freelance work. This data is obtained after they know all kinds of uncertainties that freelancing will bring. It can be seen that the younger generation, deeply influenced by the Internet age, has formed more mature Internet thinking and habits. Such psychological demands, once satisfied, will change the work and lifestyle of a generation.
Freshly graduated college students lack social awareness and work experience, and are facing increasing employment pressure and are at a loss. At work, I am often confused and helpless because of unclear career planning, which leads to a lot of troubles. These reasons make them want to engage in freelancing more.
In view of the age of people who want to engage in freelancing now, under the social situation of decreasing year by year, Ye Guowen analyzed that the threshold of freelancing should be low and the types should be rich, so as to truly meet the needs of most people. So to be a service provider in a short time, like many Witkey platforms, you can take orders after simple identity authentication. At the same time, because the platform users send tasks independently, the task types are very personalized and quite rich.
In addition, the unique mode of grabbing orders based on geographical location information gives everyone the opportunity to participate. This model ensures fair competition on the platform. Freelancers don't have to worry about having no tasks to do because they don't have resources and contacts, and their needs will be fairly displayed to all qualified people. However, the quality of service providers determines the credit rating of freelancers. The higher the credit rating, the more tasks you will naturally get. Such a virtuous circle is helpful to improve the level of service providers and ensure the quality of service, which is beneficial to both the platform and users.
This model is also in line with another expectation of young people for their careers. According to statistics, 84% of the post-90s generation want to combine their hobbies with their careers. They prefer to do what they are interested in and are willing to devote all their time and energy to what they like. This is why the post-90s generation is so eager to become a freelancer. In most cases, they think that going to work in the company is just a helpless choice.
In the past, freelancing required a lot of risks, such as unstable income, but now many platforms have low thresholds, giving us a chance to try without quitting. On-the-job white-collar workers can use their free time to sell services on the platform and try different ways of working. If possible, it is understandable to quit your job and become a freelancer.
Whether inside or outside the system, creating value is the most important thing.
Financial freedom and time freedom are what everyone is pursuing. The network platform has given us some shortcuts to pursue freedom, but it doesn't mean that we really want to do whatever we want. True freedom should be self-control of time. When you don't want to do something, you can have the right to say "no". Whether you are a freelancer, making a living by your own skills, or working from nine to five in the system with a stable income, as long as you can create value in your own time, it is worthy of recognition.
