Features of crowdsourcing
This page describes crowdsourcing, which is an easy option to start when you are "working from home" even if you are not employed by an enterprise and have little experience in working from home.
How crowdsourcing works
Clients who outsource work and crowdworkers who undertake work place and take orders on designated Internet sites (crowdsourcing sites). Clients are normally enterprises and they advertise the work they want to outsource to crowdworkers on crowdsourcing sites. Crowdworkers check the conditions such as the contents of the work, delivery date, required skill level, etc. and apply for the work that they want to undertake.
Crowdsourcing sites: Matching sites for clients and crowdworkers
Crowdsourcing business owner: Business owner who runs the crowdsourcing site.
Clients: Enterprises and individuals who outsource work using crowdsourcing.
Crowdworkers: Individuals who undertake work through crowdsourcing.
Features of crowdsourcing
When undertaking work as an individual, normally you meet your client (enterprise or individual) as part of marketing activities. You also need to negotiate conditions of the contract, delivery method, payment method, etc. individually with the client.
On the other hand, these procedures are not necessary in crowdsourcing.
The following 2 points are typical features of crowdsourcing.
- You can undertake work from various and new clients (enterprise and individual) as long as the conditions are met.
- Contract exchange, work, delivery, and payment are all done on the crowdsourcing site.
In other words, crowdsourcing allows you to search a number of posted work items on crowdsourcing sites for a piece of work that interests you and suits your plan, and work at a convenient time and place as long as you have the Internet connection. Undertaking work is a smooth task because all procedures are carried out on the crowdsourcing site.
