Problem
Many people lack opportunities to earn additional income without specialized skills, significant time commitments, or upfront investments. Traditional gig work often requires learning new tasks, traveling to job sites, or purchasing expensive equipment, creating barriers for those who want flexible, low-effort earning options.
Solution
JoinShift provides a platform where individuals earn money by recording videos of work they already do in their daily lives, whether at home, in their business, or on a job site. Users purchase a compatible headset, download the mobile app, and submit weekly recordings of eligible activities ranging from cooking and laundry to construction and welding. Each accepted upload generates a payout of up to $30 per hour, with payments issued weekly directly to the user. The platform simplifies the process through a five-step onboarding flow, making it accessible to almost anyone regardless of experience level.
