The gig economy is a playground of freedom—no bosses, no 9-to-5 grind, and the world as your office!

So, which types of freelancers are living their best lives with Maya? From digital nomads to creative dynamos, let’s break it down.
The Remote Consultant
Consulting means delivering expert advice, but dealing with invoices, retainers, and client payments? That’s a different challenge. Managing multiple income streams, especially from international clients, can quickly become overwhelming.
Thankfully, with Maya, you get seamless international transfers, easy income tracking, and smarter savings, which means you can spend less time managing payments and more time focusing on delivering strategic value to your clients.
The Virtual Assistant
From managing calendars to tackling overflowing inboxes, Filipino virtual assistants (VAs) are the backbone of many overseas businesses. But with clients spanning time zones and tasks piling up, handling finances can feel like just another job.
With Maya, you get quick, reliable access to your earnings so you can stay organized, responsive, and efficient, no matter how many clients you're juggling or wherever they might be located.
The Content Creator
Your passion is creating content, not chasing down payments. Whether you’re crafting stories, blogs, or sharp copy, delayed international transfers and transaction fees can chip away at your well-earned income.
Maya makes it easy for you to get paid and even easier to save and grow your funds, giving you more time and energy to focus on what you do best: inspiring and engaging their audience.
The Digital Artist and Illustrator
Getting paid for your creativity should be as smooth as your brushstrokes, and with Maya, it is. Simply link Maya to PayPal to withdraw your earnings effortlessly, letting you focus on what you love: creating.
Whether you're designing bold logos, illustrating captivating book covers, or selling digital masterpieces, Maya has your back. Manage your funds with ease and save up for tools that elevate your art.
The Video Editor and Animator
Precision. Creativity. Perfect timing. It’s all part of your craft, but when long payout cycles from high-value projects throw off your finances, the creative flow can hit a snag.
Maya helps keep your budget in sync with your workflow, making it easier to plan, invest in new gear, and take on more ambitious projects with confidence.
The Social Media Manager
As a social media manager, you're all about keeping brands relevant and engagement high. From crafting viral content to optimizing ad strategies, your expertise drives campaigns forward. And when you’re ready to scale up, seamless transfers and quick fund access keep you equipped for the next big trend.
The E-commerce Seller and Dropshipper
Running an online store often means wearing multiple hats—marketer, logistics manager, and customer service rep all in one. But when it’s time to manage your payments, you deserve a freelance payment method that’s as smooth and efficient as your operations. It’s a great thing, therefore, that Maya delivers fast, secure transfers and smart tools to help you reinvest in your business and scale up with ease.
The Online Tutor and Course Creator
Teaching online means connecting with students worldwide, but managing payments across different platforms can be a challenge. Between international transfers and fluctuating exchange rates, keeping track of your income shouldn’t be another lesson to learn.
With Maya, you'll get your earnings faster and enjoy a smoother financial experience. No more delayed transactions or hidden fees. Just seamless money management, so you can focus on perfecting your lessons and growing your student base.
The Web Developer and App Designer
Coding the future, one line at a time—you’re all about precision, creativity, and tackling challenges head-on. But when lump sum payments or milestone-based gigs mess with your cash flow, it’s time for a smarter approach to managing your earnings.
Maya gives you the flexibility to save, spend, and invest in tools and training that keep your skills sharp and your web and app dev work pipeline full.
The Photographer and Stock Image Seller
In the gig economy, photographers do more than snap pictures; they build brands, tell stories, and create visual content that sells. Whether you’re capturing once-in-a-lifetime moments for clients or turning your stock images into a steady stream of passive income, staying on top means investing in your craft.
With Maya, you can better turn your earnings into growth opportunities, turning your passion for photography into a sustainable and profitable business.
