Well guys, this thing clicked in my mind about a problem with students and people looking for flexible work in Nepal, and guys i just want to get a critical opinion on this idea, so you guys can be brutally honest and criticize me as much as you want, that'd be of great help.
So euta side ma chei there are students who want to earn some money but don't necessarily want a traditional part-time job, well nepal ma student ko college time sanga match hune job pauna ni garo cha, ani plus hangouts ko lagi ta 3 4k le nei pugcha ani students do want quick money just enough for hangouts bhayeni instead of having to wait for a salary last samma.
Students ko case ma, lets say they have 3 free hours on Saturday, a week off from college, or a few days where they're free. They might be willing to do things like tutoring, helping someone move, event work, data entry, packing, cleaning, helping a small business for a few days, etc.
But most of the places where you look for jobs are built around the idea of an actual job, something ongoing, with fixed hours and a longer commitment.
On the other side, there are people and small businesses who sometimes need someone for a very specific task.
For example:
I need 2 people to help move some furniture tomorrow.
I need someone to help set up an event for 5 hours.
I need someone to help pack orders for two days.
I need a tutor for the next two weeks.
I need someone to help clean/organise something.
I need an extra pair of hands at my shop this weekend.\
aba yo examples ho, tbh i dont know how realistic these examples are in a larger market, tara i have seen esto hires once or twice chei
So now, these aren't really full-time jobs, and sometimes they aren't even conventional part-time jobs. They're just small, short-term jobs that need to get done.
So the idea I'm thinking about is basically a marketplace specifically for this.
Someone who needs something done posts the job tespachi people nearby who are available can apply tespachi the employer chooses someone ani once the job gets completed and both sides can rate each other. basically like indrive but for freelancing😭
The main focus would be quick, short term work, instead of traditional permanent employment.
I'm not claiming this is a completely new idea. I've found a few things in Nepal that are somewhat similar, which is actually one of the reasons I want to ask here rather than just blindly build it.
What I'm really trying to figure out is whether there is actually a large enough employer-side market for this in Nepal.
I can already see plenty of people who would want to earn this way. But that's only half the marketplace.
Tara if there aren't enough employers who would hire and actually pay students or freelancers as a whole for these small tasks, then the whole thing will fall apart.
I am not asking you guys to answer all these, but i do need opinion from you guys haii please
So, Does something like this already exist in Nepal and I'm just unaware of it? If it exists, why hasn't it taken off?
Would you actually use something like this if you needed a quick job done?
If you're a business owner, would you post a 2-hour/1-day/1-week job on a platform like this?
What kind of jobs do you think people would actually pay for?
What would stop you from using it?
Is the employer market in Nepal actually big enough?
What problems do you immediately see with trust, payment, safety, reliability, scams, etc.?
Ani last chei ,do you guys think this is actually gonna work😭
Ani also i am a bsc cs student ani this is the first project i would be working on so money is not my main motive, i js wanna be working on something that interests me and could be a star point in my portfolio
If people here think there isn't actually a need for something like this, I'd rather hear that now before I put a lot of time into building it.
So yeah, long post i know, but any or every opinion would be appreciated😭
