"How many platform workers are there?" -- I get asked this question a lot. For the longest time, I referred to the @WorldBank back-of-the-envelope estimate of 100 mn. Me, @FabianStephany and @ViliLe got a slightly bigger envelope to do our own calculation. A thread [1/n]

Insightful point by @pearsonisms highly relevant to my own work: Success in online freelancing at least partially depends on one‘s ability to shape the boundaries of clients‘ project demands.

@oiioxford @ViliLe @j_a1bert As I'm now in year 2 of freelancing, a more nuanced freelancer skill has become apparent - the ability to shape the client's job post to fit your skills and improve the perceived match. It's one part persuasiveness and two parts entrepreneurial.
