Questions
Before you download
How does SkillConnect decide which jobs to show me?
You see every job. SkillConnect ranks them by how close they are to your current location, so the nearest work appears first — but nothing is hidden from you.
Can I take jobs outside my area?
Yes. Jobs further away are ranked lower, not removed. If a job across Lagos is worth the trip, you can take it.
Is it really free to join?
Yes. Creating your profile, showcasing your work and receiving booking requests costs nothing.
How do I get paid?
For bookings made through SkillConnect, the client funds the agreed payment before work begins. Payment is then released according to the agreed job terms.
I already get clients on Instagram. Why do I need this?
Keep Instagram. SkillConnect reaches the people who don't already follow you — clients searching for a vendor near them with no referral to go on.
Do I need a registered business?
No. Individual creatives are welcome.
Is SkillConnect only in Lagos?
For now, yes. We're building depth in Lagos first, then expanding to other cities.
Your next client may not know your Instagram handle.
But they're looking for someone in your area right now.
