Digital marketing took a whole different dimension in Nigeria last week when the first comprehensive Microjob portal was launched by Afrinet Business Solutions in Lagos over the weekend.

1KJob.com, a small jobs marketplace, allows skilled labor to offer different kinds of services [ranging from Graphics Design, Web Design, Social Media Marketing, Advertising Services; Online Marketing; Videos and Animations; Real Estate and Unusual Services, etc.] to list their services on 1KJob.com for only N1, 000 per Jobb and any employer, company or individual who needs a fast work done can also come to the site and select a qualified jobber from the 1,000s of people listed on the site.

The Founder of the site, Dr Ope Banwo, who is also the Founder of American Internet Business School, explained that ‘it is inevitable that there would be a portal or new marketplace where employers of labor and skilled labour can interact and do business. People do not need to spend lots of money on simple tasks anymore because the sheer competition and availability of labour from across the nation in a controlled and safe environment will now afford users of labor to quickly get jobs done at very affordable prices.”

Dr Ope Banwo confirmed that this portal for Nigerians by Nigerians was inspired by development in other advanced countries where the cost of labor have been reduced drastically while also increasing job opportunities for many skilled labour who can now work at their own time, pace and space. Employers can also have access to employees for short assignments and short tasks without going through the legal and.

The 1KJob.com website is a breakthrough development in creating a fair marketplace for workers and employers. Both are protected by our Escrow Payment arrangement where jobs are offered and services ordered are put in escrow until the services are delivered and approved as well done by the user of labour before the funds are released to the jobber. That way the employer or user of labour who prepaid for services is protected from fraud by the portal. Your payment will not be delivered until you have confirmed that the job has been done to your satisfaction!

How 1KJob.com works in a Nutshell

Buyers have 48 hours from the time a Jobb is delivered by the Jobber to dispute or complain about the Jobb.

Immediately a request for modification or complaint about poor delivery is made by the Buyer, the money in escrow is frozen until the issue is resolved.

 Jobbers gain account statuses (Levels) based on their performance and reputation. Advanced levels provide their owners with benefits, including offering services for higher prices through Jobb Extras, or selling their Jobb in multiples.
