eTrend Gigs is an earning platform that connects “employers” with “earners” — this way, the employer is giving more exposure for his or her business and the earner also gets to earn some money for engaging with the advert placed by the employer. Platforms like eTrend Gigs are everywhere, the only issue with most of them is the poor earning rate when compared to the stress one is usually subjected to.
In this article, we will be having a look at all there is to know about eTrend Gigs, how to start earning money daily, the features of the platform and finally, the significant limitations that are capable of deterring someone from participating. Having said that, let’s dive right into the focus of the day.
About eTrend Gigs
eTrend Gigs as the name implies, is a platform that provides users with some minor social media gigs to complete in order to earn money. As we all know, earning money is a major need in today’s world, people are always looking for more ways to add money to their accounts and that’s what a gig website like eTrend claims to provide.
As a user, you’re expected to create an account either as an employer or an earner, the former if you have little to no plans to complete the tasks to earn money but you want to be creating your own social tasks for other users to complete. The latter if you are just on the platform for the sake of making your own money by completing the tasks.
Features Of eTrend Gigs
On eTrend Gigs, there are quite a few things you can do and they are as follows;
1. Upload Tasks – while signing up, you’re giving the chance to either sign up as an earner or an employer. As an employer, you can participate by uploading your own tasks for users to complete. Let’s say, you want 500 members on your WhatsApp group, you can simply upload the task, pay the required amount and when it goes live, each user that joins, will be rewarded accordingly.
That way, you also gain by getting your desired number of members on the group. So you’re not just restricted to earning money on the platform but also, sharing your own tasks.
2. Completing tasks and micro jobs – if you create account as an earner, that means you only earn money by completing the tasks uploaded by others on a daily basis. You can also participate in some of the micro jobs to earn money.
eTrend Gigs made provisions for all audiences. People who are looking for side income are allowed to join in order to start earning without stressing so much — though, this is hugely dependent on the nature of tasks you want to do. The more stressful the task is, the more money you earn for it.
3. Buying Data and Airtime – eTrend Gigs is also a VTU website – where users can buy airtime and data on a daily basis without spending through their nose. As a matter of fact, people perceive it as a cheaper source of purchasing data especially MTN data plans now that some significant increments have been done by the network.
So you don’t just earn on the site, you also get to top up your airtime and data balance on any network. You can access this feature by clicking on Top up and then follow the following instructions. It’s quite self explanatory.
Getting Started
To get started, all you have to do is create an account on etrendgigs.com, fill the sign up form with your real details, especially email because of the verification requirement.
After that, you will be logged into the main dashboard, where you will be required to activate the account using 1,000 naira. This is a compulsory deposit if you intend to participate and earn on the platform.
If you don’t make the account activation payment, you won’t be able to earn from the tasks; as a matter of fact, your participation wouldn’t be enabled till you do so.
The question of whether you should make the activation payment is wholly dependent on your expectations and choices. Expectations as regards the kind of money you want to make on the platform.
If you decide to make the activation payment, then tap on Find a Job on your dashboard, you will be given the opportunity to either go for micro jobs or social tasks, the difference is that, the social tasks give very small earnings while the micro job though harder, come with higher earnings.
The more tasks you complete, the more money you accumulate. Once you hit the minimum withdrawal threshold, you proceed with the Cashout and payment will be sent to your linked bank account details.
Withdrawal Threshold and Steps
To withdraw on eTrend Gigs, simply tap on Withdraw to bank showing on the homepage, select the wallet you wish to withdraw from. The earnings wallet is the right one to choose if you are trying to withdraw your task earnings, then enter amount, bank account details and submit.
They claim users can withdraw as low as 200 naira anytime after activating account with 1,000 naira but the information on the withdrawal page is 2,000 naira.
Limitations
There are major limitations that probably makes eTrend Gigs an unsuitable earning platform based on my analysis and they are as follows;
1. Poor earning rate – the earnings one can accrue from the tasks completed is not even commensurate with the stress one has to pass through before completing the tasks. For each task, you’re expected to screenshot after completion in order to submit to the site. After which, the administrators will peruse and release the earnings for such task to your account. While this is an extra stress, I don’t really have much problems with it, the main concern is the earnings attached to each task.

The earnings are nothing to write home about and as such, there’s no way I’m spending my time on the platform for any reason. It’s one thing to say you’re earning online and it’s another to be doing something worthwhile.
2. Referral Based – eTrend Gigs seems to be referral based instead of based on number of tasks completed. I personally have this dislike for platforms that are referral based and this happens to be one. For each referral, you’re given 500 naira but the invited user has to struggle with 1-5 naira tasks; literally making it impossible for them to withdraw in months without referring. Platforms that are referral based are not to be trusted because, they literally give all the earnings to people who can refer leaving out the invited users.
3. The Account activation fee is a major limitation and considering the poor earning rate, it’s certainly not worth it. You would have to complete tasks for close to a year to even regain the 1,000 naira used to activate account unless of course, you refer others.
Final Verdict
eTrend Gigs is legit but it’s perfectly suited for people who have the means to refer others. It’s unsuitable for users who just want to register and start completing tasks to earn as the earning capacity is incredibly poor and it’s also not a free-to-earn platform.
For a site that involves spending money to join, I expected them to have more rewarding tasks that users who have trusted them enough to let go of their own monies could earn from and be happy.
Conclusion
From all indications, it seems, there are more downsides than upsides. Therefore, intending users should carefully peruse through what we’ve discussed on this piece to know if the eTrend Gigs is worth the stress and time or not.
