Do all apps provide value?
Using apps to help streamline and simplify life and work tasks should save a person time, energy, and money. However, not all apps benefit a person’s life responsibilities. Some apps don’t offer a service to improve a person’s life but instead drain their time, energy, and money.
I’m a gig worker who uses apps to save time and energy and earn money. Learning how to use apps to perform tasks on the fly saves me time, and time is money. Learning to use apps also saves me energy because I’m performing tasks while on the go, making me multitask. Using apps also helps me save money even when paying to use an app service.
Falling victim to paying to use an app that wasted my time, energy, and money drained me physically and mentally. I paid to use the app and promoted it using my time and money, expecting to teach customers how to use it. I also paid the company that developed the app a monthly fee of $29.00.
If you are a gig worker like me, you understand how using apps to earn money works. It might not be the best money earned, but it is money earned. Gig apps allow people to earn money when they have the time.
Do you pay to gig work?
As a gig worker, I rely on apps to help me do more in less time. I pay to use the Self-employed QuickBooks app because I can set the AI to categorize my income and spending on my business. At tax time, I print out my income and expenses. I also use the app to manually submit my miles. After each time I work the gig apps, I enter my miles in real-time. I pay to use the app, but the app saves me time, energy, and money. I also write off the expense of paying for the app. It is a legitimate business expense. The app offers a lot of value.
Not all apps offer value, and I’m here to inform people, especially gig workers, to beware of an app I paid to use to start a personal shopping business. I want gig workers or wanna-be gig workers to understand that paying to use an app like the Dumpling Boss app will exhaust your time, energy, and money. I promoted through word-of-mouth, paid for local newspaper advertising (with the Dumpling name), handed out business cards, and advertised online. I also joined in on training calls to learn more about what I could do to recruit customers, and after doing it all for a little over a year, I found out Dumpling removed me from the Dumpling Zip Code Search in the Dumpling app. In the training calls, the coaches told me I had not recruited enough to be listed in the Dumpling Zip Code Search. If I’m promoting the Dumpling Boss app, why would the Dumpling team feel I did not deserve to be in the Zip Code Search? Being listed in the Dumpling Zip Code Search would have helped me recruit customers. It would have been helpful to tell people to do a shopper search and find me there.
There is a lot more to share about what happens when paying to use the Dumpling Boss app, and I want to inform people about the Dumpling Boss app and what it is for: to earn money by charging fees to members and customers. They made themselves into intermediaries, creating passive streams of income for themselves. That is all the Dumpling Boss app does. And this is very important to know: the Dumpling Boss app does NOT include a store inventory. Either you or the customer must submit the product information in the app. That is a lot of additional work to build a list of POTENTIAL repeat customers.
For now, my mission is to inform the uninformed. I’m doing it by writing articles and uploading videos sharing my opinion about the Dumpling Boss app and my experience using it. I got tired of being told I should do more because I wasn’t doing enough.
If you want to hear more about what I and many others have experienced, take the time to watch the videos I uploaded to my YouTube channel. I’ve been gigging for eight-plus years, and I know how to hustle and earn money using gig apps.
