Steemgigs is an online platform thats similar to Fiverr on Steemit where people sell their services and have fellow Steemit users buy or pay for these services. The services posted by users on the Steemgigs platform are called "gigs". In this tutorial I'll be explaining how to post a service or post a gig on Steemgigs.

In the description section, clearly describe in details the service you intend to offer and why they should choose you for the job instead of other freelancers offering the same service on the website.

In the requirements section, you're required to explain what you would want your clients to provide you with, to help you proceed with your work/ gig; for example, if your gig is SEO-related, you may want them to drop "the URL of their website or if your gig is "video-editing", you may require them to drop you "video files" etc. Also inform them if your "requirements" are optional or compulsory for the project. Your required to input a minimum of 30 characters here; click on the 'save and proceed' button to proceed to the next section.
