Kyky is a social platform where freelancers, entrepreneurs, students, and hobbyists can market skills and services to buyers in Finland and beyond.

Skillers are any person (employed full-time, part-time, unemployed, or retired) who markets services and jobs based on a personal skill to potential buyers registered to the Kyky Today platform. 

Kyky Today is a revolutionary social platform allowing talents, specialized in a variety of professional areas, to get visible to potential buyers. By selling skills online and offline, Skillers respond to the need for cost-efficient and flexible demands of the labor market in the immediacy. As a freelancer, you decide about your salary and your working time in absolute freedom. The platform provides you a “place” to showcase your skills and expertise, expand your clients’ contacts, and generate business. Each user has, in fact, a profile page with clear skills, bio, prices, and a visible and bookable calendar. This new system will allow a buyer to select your services immediately with no hassle. 

In today’s world, due to changes in the job market and economy, freelancing is becoming the most appropriate answer to the inefficiency of traditional employment and staffing markets. In the new “talent economy,” new entrepreneurs and freelancers respond faster to the needs of the economy and society. 

You are your own boss. You are in control of your working life and decide when, with whom, and how long to work. You can charge your client by the hour, or you can decide to set a fixed fee for the whole project.

• Get visibility, publicity, opportunity as well as growth through the Kyky platform; 
• Enhance your reputation through a system of fair reviews;

• Upload a photo/avatar on your profile. Try to avoid small and low-resolution images and remember to smile. 
• Write a good bio to make a solid first impression. You can talk about your work experience, highlight your skills, and convince people why you are the best in what you do.
• Add your working languages and preferred working region.
• Select your skills – knowledge, competencies, abilities, or your profession- among the available options or create your own. 
• Decide if you want the review to be visible immediately or if you prefer to activate them after you have been able to gain a little experience. 
• Add your first job and in the section called ‘Calendar’ add your time and days availability to the calendar so that the buyers can spot you immediately. 
• Specify if you work per hour and/or project by stating an actual price (e.g., 25€/hour)
• Add portfolio, CV, and other resource links for references. 

Once you are ready, advertise your unique URL via social media to attract buyers.

Once your job (s) is live, you will receive a confirmation email.

You can open up as many jobs as you like.

The open calendar allows you to share your availability and receive reservations quickly.  You can add your preferred time and days of work

Calendar will be visible to buyers from your profile page. 

Yes, you can modify/update your profile or jobs anytime by using the same username and password and edit profile or edit jobs.

You can delete your account entirely by sending an email to board@kyky.today with the title DELETE MY ACCOUNT.

If a buyer books you for a job, you will receive a confirmation by email. Your open calendar will be immediately updated in our system, and you will no longer be bookable on that specific day and time. 

Reservations also appear on your profile page under “My Jobs,” where you will get a recap of the jobs and other additional information. 

If you are doing a manual job and you need the address or telephone number of the buyer please use the chat button to connect with the buyer and ask all you need to know. Should you have a second job, please, make sure you can reach it on time immediately after the first.

Your reservation starts at the time of your service. However, if your job requires transportation, you can add a small transportation fee according to your use. We suggest to specify it in your KyKy profile under extra fees, or simply include it in your service price.

Reservations are both visible in your calendar and all classified under your ‘reservations’ tabs in the extranet. Reservations provide the following information for each booking:

• Buyers’ name(s) & address (depending on the job)
• Date the order was made
• Date and time for the gig or service 
• Preferred method of payment according to your suggestion
• Summary of booking costs

Each reservation has a ‘Reference number’ to classify your buyers’ orders, respond to reviews, and address any other issues.

Cancellations are possible but only under certain conditions. Please, note that junior KyKyers have only 3 cancellations per year, while intermediate KyKyers 2 per year. Please note, that expert KyKyers follow no cancellation policy. 

If you have an issue with a reservation, you can work things out with your buyer by proposing a different date or suggesting another KyKyer for the same kind of job.

Buyers have the right to cancel a reservation. You can have a free cancellation policy or specify an upfront fee in your profile to protect you from this exact situation. However, we encourage both sellers and buyers to agree on a mutual cancellation or reach a beneficial agreement on the service, like scheduling a new time, or suggest another KyKyer available for that job. Note also that buyer-requested cancellation does not affect your review system.

It’s up to you. In the future, you can recommend your buyer(s) to other KyKyers, inform buyers about special promotions and discounts or block them from future requests.

Reviews will help you build a buyer base, proving your credibility and making more money. Reviews will make you more visible and strengthen trust and trustworthiness to the buyers’ eyes.  Please note that you can decline reviews for as long as you are ready to have the reviews visible on your profile. We recommend for Junior KyKyers to wait three to five gigs before accepting reviews. Once you accept one review, all future reviews will be visible.

Once your job ends, the buyer will receive an email in which she/he will rate your skills. A comment box is also available for the buyer to explain his/her review in detail.

The feedback option will be available for 14 days for both buyers and sellers. Your reviews will be visible both in your private and public profiles if you want. 

The rating criteria-  from one star (worst) to five stars (best) – will be the following: 

Quality of services  – measures how well a service is delivered, compared to buyers’ expectations.

Communication – measures communication before and during the gig. E.g. The KyKyer responds quickly or is reliable to answer to the buyers’ questions. 

Time management – measures the process of organizing and planning a job within the booked time.

Respect of rules: measure the way to follow the rules while ensuring kindness, courtesy, and politeness. 

As a consequence of a fair system, the KyKyer can reply to reviews and even decide to make them public or not. 

We offer direct payment from buyers to the seller. At the moment, the options you can choose are the following: PayPal, mobile pay, and secure bank transfer.

During the trial period of 24 hrs of work (approx. 3 months based on 2 hrs work per week) there will be no charge to be on KyKy.Today. We consider it a free period to assess if your service is liked, needed and if you can cope with the bookings and the work. 

After the trial period (24 hrs or 3 months, whichever comes first), you will be charged a service fee for every gig above 20 EUR. The charging fee is to allow us to continue improving features, better support KyKyers in acquiring more buyers, and cover our marketing expenses. At the same time, you will get more visibility with high chances of potential bookers, verified, and fair reviews to boost your credibility and our support and guidance when needed.
