There are a couple ways to do this:

  • A. Similar to Fiverr, the Microlancer Services marketplace lets service providers and freelancers post listings that describe their services, their availability, and their prices. However, unlike with Fiverr, such a short assignment is still feasible on Microlancer due to using LN⚡ for payment.
  • B. Similar to Upwork, Microlancer’s Task platform is where you can submit a listing describing the specifics of the work you want performed. You will then receive offers from freelancers (taskers) wanting to do that work. The terms you specify (i.e., payment amount) can be for the completion of the task, or you can specify the terms to be for a specific quantity of time (e.g., 30 minutes, or 30 hours).

Q.) Who are these freelancers who will take on such a short assignment?

A.) Take a look at this public transaction record for an assignment that occurred on 09 March 2022, where one hour of time from the freelancer bitcoink was contracted.
