MyPocketSkill Reviews 

I never knew this website existed until my partner had the idea of trying to find a student photographer for our wedding as we just couldn’t afford a photographer at all and didn’t know what to do, when we googled photography students to hire this page came up and saved us! We found a photographer named Rachel on it who was so professional, friendly, talented and skilled! She stayed in touch the whole time we were planning but never made us feel rushed and stressed with getting information she required and on the day she did such an amazing job! The photos look better than any I’ve seen done by professionals who charge 10x the price she did and we’re so grateful this website led us to her as we have so many beautiful photos to remind us of the best day of our lives and she was so helpful and kind on the day as well, she went above and beyond and we couldn’t imagine a better photographer x

I have been on MyPocketSkill for over 2 years now, and I am very happy with it. The community team are very helpful, and often send clients to me, one client who I have been working with for over 7 months now?! Not only has it helped improve my confidence with client communication but MyPocketSkill have filled my CV, not only from being a social media manager, but being an ambassador and even having a case study published on my success with MyPocketSkill. I honestly couldn’t be more appreciative towards a company.

I’ve been using MyPocketSkill for around a year now and I’ve had a great experience. It was really easy finding people to tutor and getting paid is easy and secure. I’d recommend it to all young people looking to make extra cash!!

Found an amazingly skilled young person to help assist with my social media posting for my business! UI of the site is easy to use and I was matched with many talented people who applied to my post. I was able to meet with each of them decide which of their skills best matched the needs of my business.
Such a fantastic idea for young people to build experience and affordable for both start ups and established businesses. Highly recommend

MyPocketSkill has been by far one of the most effective methods to make money as a young person.
I have always struggled with what to do with my skills, especially regarding earning money from them and MyPocketSkill has really given me the motivation I needed to put my skills into a platform to start earning a good amount of money.
I’ve already earned a good chunk of money from this site and can almost afford a holiday ! Yay!
Thank you MyPocketSkill team for everything you offer! :)

As a freelancer on MyPocketSkill, my experience has been both rewarding and empowering. The platform has provided me with consistent opportunities to connect with individuals and businesses looking to elevate their social media presence and marketing strategies. What stands out most is the ease of showcasing my skills and the ability to work on diverse projects—from content creation to full-fledged campaign planning.

MyPocketSkill creates a space where freelancers are valued, and communication with clients is smooth and efficient. It has helped me not only grow professionally but also build meaningful client relationships. The flexibility to manage my own time while doing work I genuinely enjoy makes this platform a great choice for anyone in the social media and marketing space.

Overall, MyPocketSkill has been a reliable and supportive platform that continues to contribute to my growth as a marketing professional.

MyPocketSkill has really impressed me as it is a platform designed to help students use their skills to acquire jobs and start to make an income. As a student is can be hard balancing studying, social life and finding flexible work, but MyPocketSkill makes it so much easier. My whole experience has been smooth, simple and rewarding.

I’ve been working with my pocket skill for a while now, it’s given me the ability to manage who I work for and what tasks I choose to do. It’s very straight forward and easy to navigate, very legitimate unlike make websites out there, as a college student it’s given me the opportunity to make money on the side and improve my skills. If you want to have a side hustle and display your editing skills, tutor people or even help with events it’s honestly a great website.

When I first started, I had almost no confidence and very little experience in photography. Joining the MyPocketSkill (MPS) platform has been a complete game-changer for me. It gave me the exposure and opportunities I needed to grow, connect with clients, and build my portfolio from the ground up.

MPS has introduced me to a wide variety of clients — from families celebrating birthdays and baby showers to couples planning engagement shoots and weddings. Working with real clients on real events has been invaluable in helping me develop my skills and gain confidence in my photography.

The platform is incredibly user-friendly. Responding to inquiries, sharing my portfolio, and managing bookings all happen in one place, which makes communication simple and efficient. The structured prompts and client details help me remain professional while keeping messages personal and approachable.

Thanks to MPS, I’ve been able to gain experience, improve my craft, and grow as a photographer, all while building my confidence from almost zero. I’d recommend it to any student or young photographer looking to learn, experiment, and gain real-world experience.

A user friendly platform, full of professional young people

It's really easy to find young people able to help with tasks. Both the individuals we've worked with were really responsive and completed our work quickly.

Great communication and felt very secure

Recently they changed the way you communicate with clients (I do social media), making it so you have to do calls on the platform not anywhere else. They did not make this clear in community guidelines and then you get in trouble or completely banned because of this. They put all the blame on you but don’t put this information anywhere on the site until after which is completely unfair. The communication in general is terrible on this platform. I understand that you have to protect young people on this website but this goes too far sometimes.

First of I would like to state making money on this platform can be easy as long as you avoid the moderation team.

to be honest they are uninformed and have a lack of understanding of their own community guidelines.

here's your answer as to why I'm saying this.
as i'm writing this The community guidelines state "Do use Zoom, Teams, MyPocketSkill Meet (where available) or other online meeting platforms to conduct introductions, meetings or tutoring sessions.

However as i tried to induct a online meeting on zoom one of the platforms following the community guidelines I was told that I must use the mypocketskill platform with an explanation of "Lennox, the meetings needs to be held on the MyPocketSkill link not zoom."
or "Please use the online call facility (Lennox - there is a call button that should be very clear). Community guidelines have been shared."

Following this problem with the team I decided to contact an admin via email which explained to me that the community guidelines are out of date and that 'mypocketskill' are integrating a online call on their platform and ONLY want me to use that.

This was all the explanation I needed to understand why I was being told one thing when the guidelines said the other. I wrote a message to the community team saying the admin explained to me 'XYZ' and that all you had to do as a team was explain the same without just telling me what to do which goes against your guidelines. shortly after this I received a message stating my ability to apply for jobs has been turned off. as if it was my mistake in the first place.

This is a long review and I don't like to leave bad reviews and never have before (check my reviews) However this moderation team 'Zara R and Clova B' deserve it and I hope they fix this and give more clarity on the situation instead of punishing people using the platform as the guidelines say to use it

I have been using mypocketskill for my daughters guitar tutoring for almost an year and is great.
My only issue is that there is no app and all interactions with tutor needs to be accessed via website (with email notifications alerting on message). It would have been better to either have an app or get messages directly delivered in email or text message... Hence 3 star

Excellent and efficient service to find local, emerging talent. I used to secure a photographer for a leadership speaking event to a cohort of MBA students at a University.

My pocketskill was ideal for me as i never knew what i was doing making a webpage and i found this it was easy to get linked to people who can help you they do a great job and not so pricey.
Highly recommed MYPOCKETSKILL.

Great supportive platform that is a good opportunity for young people to build skills and experience for the future

I’ve been tutoring at mypocketskill for over a year now and I’ve had a great experience. The community managers are incredibly helpful and I always feel looked after. Getting paid is easy and secure. This platform has helped me pay for my driving lessons and my car. I’d recommend it to all young people looking to make extra cash!!
