Are people willing to pay me a livable wage as a freelance courier or a concierge?
Keep in mind I live in the suburbs and I used to deliver for UberEats by bike (until they deactivated me for "low" ratings), while for freelancing as a concierge I wouldn't be a full-on assistant to protect myself legally and to not get ripped off. Minimum wage here in Ontario is currently 17.20 CAD, which idk how that much is in USD, but it's safe to assume it's higher than the federal US minimum, while I guess livable wage is probably 1.5-2x that amount (so up to $34.40). Most people I know will never want to hire me as a courier because they can do it themselves or get people they know to help them for free and/or they can resort to existing services for delivery like gig apps and private courier companies. However I know that as a concierge, even niche clients like seniors, businesses, government agencies, disabled, and hobbyists are far more likely to hire me consistently and generously since I'd be providing services that are hard to come by.
