I tried a few different gig apps but all I got out of them is a couple of interviews where they likely got what they wanted for free ... A previous coworker reached out for a project but otherwise I teach at a local college part time and that is what has worked. Higher pay and satisfaction but you do have to go in person.
A lot of factors go into play behind the scenes. A city may be active on a platform, but clients are limited or have extra requirements you may or may not be aware of. I.e. a client may need 30 bartenders a week, but you don't have any bartending certifications on your profile. It is always helpful to ask your provider what skills are in high demand in your area, and how to find out if you qualify for them. Also, seasonality is always relevant, High booking times vary by state and your apps' client base.
I’ve had better luck with TaskRabbit for quick, local gigs. Also tried Rover for pet sitting, it’s chill if you like animals.
Although I'm experiencing a similar issue, I've been using instawork. It's worth looking into if local companies near you are using it. I have found a few on there and also on the Facebook page for my town. Lots of elderly looking for help putting together furniture or garden help.
