3 Benefits of Earning From Knoc

4 min read

There's always an enormous opportunity for these peer to peer platforms that have been emerging and that will keep emerging (Uber, Airbnb, TaskRabbit etc). The model behind these businesses allows each individual to create their own impact within the community around them - whether a buyer or seller - the dynamic is a marketplace and there's enough land grab for anyone who hops on.

If you don't know what Knoc is, Knoc is a peer to peer platform that allows you to request tasks or be hired for tasks around your college community. Need a tutor? - request one. Need coffee? - Request someone to grab one for you.

Here are 3 major benefits of taking on tasks and earning from Knoc:

1. Earn Some Quick Cash on the Go

This is great if you have a busy schedule and/or an International student which limits job opportunity. With Knoc you have the opportunity to make some cash on YOUR time. Let's think about that for a bit. On YOUR time - not on a set schedule. And this my friends, is the real kicker.

There's so many small increments of "downtime" that we have. That time can be allocated, instead of playing Pokemon Go, to making actual money that could pay for meals. Use your extra time that you have in a productive manner.

2. Gain Exposure for a Skill

If you have a skill - photography, film editor, Photoshop, tutor - this is a great way to gain exposure to people who need your talent.

If you are into freelance and want to start your own side hustle, connect with the students around you and start building a brand and portfolio. Get some clients and get some work in.

There are many student organizations who need talented graphic designers for flyers, or photography skills for their events. Take advantage of the opportunity!

3. Get More Connected with Your Community

Its tough to get really connected on campus especially if its your first year and out of state. You normally would have to meet people through class or join an organization.

Knoc will be another outlet for you to connect with your community as you requests or get hired for tasks. I believe this is the main bi-product of all these peer to peer platforms. The first wave of web innovation was to connect people online, and the second wave will be to connect people offline.
