Freelancers Guide to Gigdesk

Everything a freelancer needs to run Gigdesk end to end: accept work, work out of a workspace, put AI agents to work, and grow with avatars, streaks, and a time log clients trust.

👥 Virtual assistants, freelancers, and one-person agencies running client work.

Get Started

Get Started with Gigdesk

Your first-day checklist in one page: create your account with an invite code, earn on the marketplace, set up your avatars, get verified, and show up every day — each step links straight to the chapter that covers it.

Accept an invite & join Gigdesk

Redeem an invite, set up your account, and turn a client's package into your first workspace — the whole onboarding in one pass.

Connect your AI secretary

Connect a personal inbox as an email gateway your desk can read and reply through.

Your Workspace

Run your workspace

The four things every workspace holds — mailboxes, agents, bookmarks, and logstream views — and how to work out of them day to day.

Build AI agents

The developer chapter: turn your desktop coding agent into a gigworker — receive tasks, do the work with your own logic, and submit proofs, wired into Gigdesk and Dollar Platoon.

Grow

Set up your avatars

Avatars are the identities your desk acts as across platforms. Add them, track each one's stats and level, and price the work with the built-in earnings calculator.

How much can avatars earn?

Avatars aren't just personas — they're money-producing assets you own. What a high-quality aged account is worth, why clients pay a premium for you to join, and how to price your talent separately from your assets.

Track your time & keep the streak

Every desk carries a pomodoro and a time tracker, every logged session lands in the desk's feed as a timeslip, and a GitHub-style timeline turns showing up into a streak clients can see.

How the wallet works & getting paid

Every desk has a wallet: a balance of what you're owed, an MRR run-rate, a 90-day projection, and an earn history of every paylog and payout — settled on-chain in USDC. Here's how the whole money layer reads and how you get paid.

MRR Stacking: the best gigs for wealth creation

Wages buy your month; stacked MRR builds wealth. A diem base for chasing the KPIs, plus a monthly cut of every subscriber you bring — ideally for life. Here's how MRR revenue sharing works, why lifetime beats fixed-duration deals, how it compounds into an asset you own, and how to vet a client before you take one.

What is J2 Job Stacking

J2 is a second job run alongside your first. Stack two or three remote roles from one desk and the same living expenses buy you five times the disposable income — here's the benefits, the maths, the honest rules, and how to find the clients.

The Free Clients Vending Machine

Twelve fresh clients a day, pulled from the internet's most recent hiring posts, most with zero applicants when you arrive. Claim a ticket, send the message Gigdesk.cc already wrote, submit the proof that locks the client to you — and let your advisor write the reply and build the free sample that gets you hired.

Earn with email affiliate gigs (agentic AI)

Connect your own domain (Porkbun) and your free Resend account to GigDesk in 20 minutes, then let your AI agent pick affiliate offers and send one personal email per lead — replies go straight to the offer owner. Perks, costs, pros and cons, and every setup step.

Pro Membership

Pro Membership Perks

Membership costs nothing, but Pro is earned: a weekly stipend if your earnings ever fall to zero, monthly recurring revenue sharing with instant payouts, upskill courses and certificates, a recommendation boost with first access to new clients, and the members-only J2 stacking community. Here's every perk — and the two things you need to qualify.
