Weizel Antti Tuukka Weizel Antti Tuukka WeizelGig-work refers to short "stints", usually of one or a few shifts. In some cases, however, it can last for a longer period, usually a few weeks.
For example, there may be a need for a casual worker due to the absence of a permanent employee. For this reason, a company's need for gig work may arise at the last minute, even on the morning of the same working day. Gig work can also be seasonal when freelancing can be a permanent solution for many.
Freelance work is very much like gig work. In both you can choose your own working hours, allowing you to take days off and holidays at a time of your choosing. In addition, the choice of work location makes both forms of work flexible. However, unlike temporary work, 'freelancing' can in some cases be assimilated to self-employment.
The cheapest way to start freelancing is to sign up for our light entrepreneur service. The start-up, running and invoicing is free-of-charge and you can decide to stop using the service anytime - there are no hidden fees.
If you already have a clientele or a great business idea you should think about becoming a private trader. This is the most common business model in Finland even-though it has some monthly fees.
As a freelancer, it’s worth applying for a gig as it’s a great way to start your career. As a freelancer, you can get to know a lot of different sectors and jobs by accepting gigs from anyone. By doing gig work, you might find the career of your dreams or get nice extra income alongside your main job. It’s worth applying for gig work, especially for seasonal and off-season work.
Gig work is always worth it if you want additional income, for example, in addition to your main job. Around the world, gig work is a very normal concept, and in Finland too, many people earn their living as gig workers. Gig work is a great source of income, and with the help of invoicing services, the bureaucracy associated with it is handled easily. As a gig worker, you also get to decide when you do the agreed work.
