READ THIS BEFORE YOU START
TREAT EVERY FIGURE AS A CLUE, NOT A PROMISE.
Earnings vary by area, demand, quality, platform fees, costs and tax. Check insurance, permissions and any sector-specific rules before accepting paid work.
Advertising claims should be truthful and evidence-based. Never pay for a job, recruit friends into a scheme or borrow money to chase a side income.
