These days, there are plenty of ways to make quick money if you're between jobs or are looking for extra work. Between various gig apps<\/a> and on-demand job apps, you can usually find same-day work in your area or even start a new career.<\/p>\n Instawork is an example of one of these apps. And it claims you can make $25 per hour and find gigs in just a few hours.<\/p>\n But is Instawork legit? And how do you actually find gigs with this app?<\/p>\n I downloaded and tested out the app to find out. And my Instawork review is covering all of its features, types of gigs, and pros and cons so you can decide if this app is worth using.<\/p>\n Looking for more quick money-making ideas? Checkout<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Instawork<\/a> is a flexible staffing solution and on-demand job app that began in 2016. The company was founded by Sumir Meghani, and since its inception, it's grown to a network of over 1 million workers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/strong>There are two sides of Instawork's business:<\/p>\n Overall, Instawork provides a simple way to work more hours per week if you're looking for work or need to make fast cash.<\/p>\n Yes, Instawork is legit and lets gig workers find temporary jobs to make more money. The app has plenty of positive reviews and testimonials. There's also payment proof online, and Instawork works with thousands of businesses and brands and is a reputable company<\/strong>.<\/p>\n I also tested out Instawork and found that the app is very easy to use. Overall, it's one of the highest-paying apps<\/a> in the gig economy space since it can connect you to dozens of income opportunities.<\/p>\n For most people, Instawork isn't a replacement for full-time income. But you can use the app to find quick cash gigs near you<\/a> if you're in a pinch.<\/p>\n I downloaded Instawork to learn how the app works and to create a profile before writing this review.<\/p>\n If you want to use Instawork to find a same-day job that pays<\/a>, the process is very simple. In fact, this job app only takes five steps which we're going to cover in more detail below.<\/p>\n The first step to using Instawork is to create an account. You can do this by entering your name, email, and phone number on Instawork's website.<\/p>\n From there, Instawork directs you to download its app. You can download it for free on the Android or iOS app store. Once you verify your phone number, you're ready to find jobs with Instawork and unlock the full potential of the app.<\/p>\n But first, you answer a short questionnaire that asks you questions like<\/strong>:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Answering these questions helps Instawork understand more about you, your income goals, and flexibility.<\/p>\n After the questionnaire, you enter your Zip code so the app can highlight open shifts in your area.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While I was testing out the Instawork app, I entered my Zip code in Florida. Apparently, 631 shifts were completed in my area recently, netting Instawork workers nearly $7,500 in extra income. Not bad!<\/p>\n Instawork is similar to apps like JobGet<\/a> and Wonolo<\/a>, and you have to complete your profile before you actually apply to jobs.<\/p>\n The entire process doesn't take too long, and you must complete your profile before you're allowed to apply to Instawork gigs.<\/p>\n The first step is to upload a profile photo and to pick the types of gigs and industries you're interested in.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Examples of common Instawork gigs include<\/strong>:<\/p>\n But again, you need to complete your profile before you run off and apply to a bunch of jobs. This involves entering previous work experience, completing short training modules, and adding a profile photo.<\/p>\n And again: you have <\/em>to do this before you're considered an “active Instawork worker” and can actually apply to jobs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n All in all, expect to spend about 10 to 15 minutes setting up your Instawork profile.<\/p>\n Instawork's main tab has a list of different job categories where you can find open shifts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n These categories are based on the categories you picked when signing up. But you can also add more interests to unlock more job categories.<\/p>\n Once you pick a job category, Instawork shows you open shifts in your area.<\/p>\n In my app, I picked the “Event Server shifts” category. It had a few jobs, one of which was the same day and pays $25.44 for a total of $178.08.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As you can see, Instawork has a notification that I have to “Get Activated” to book the open shifts. Again, this is because you have to complete your full profile before you're allowed to apply to gigs.<\/p>\n And if you tap on a specific gig, it also shows additional requirements the employer might require.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For example, one of the event server jobs wanted me to enter my birthday, add a profile photo, get 2 recommendations on my Instawork profile, and add work experience to my profile.<\/p>\n Instawork also recommends completing its in-app quizzes and verifying my identity to make my profile stand out.<\/p>\n As you can see, this job isn't really available for a first-time app user because I need two recommendations. This means I need to find other Instawork shifts, apply, complete them, and then get a positive review from the business.<\/p>\n This whole game of cat and mouse means it can take a bit of time to find gigs with Instawork when you're brand new.<\/p>\n But the trade-off is it becomes easier to land shifts the more you use the app, so long-term Instawork workers can make more money.<\/p>\n If you apply to an Instawork shift and get approved, you're finally ready to make some extra money!<\/p>\n Instawork also has some tips for how to prepare for your first shift.<\/p>\n These tips include<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Instawork also wants you to arrive 15 minutes early. Once the shift starts, you have to confirm its start-time within the app as well.<\/p>\n Also note that Instawork doesn't want you to use your smartphone while you're on shift. And if you want a good rating, you need to work hard and show great customer service skills and work ethic.<\/p>\n When your shift is over, you can ask the business if they need more help. If not, check out of your shift within the app to end the shift.<\/p>\n Also double-check the app to make sure all the hours line-up so you're getting credit for the time you worked.<\/p>\n Instawork pays you weekly through direct deposit for the shifts you worked the previous Monday through Sunday. Payments process on Wednesday which means you usually see your Instawork earnings in your bank account by Friday or Saturday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n
