All About Independent Contracting & The Roles We Offer
Oh it's not a scam - It's Independent Contracting
It's definitely not a scam! Independent contracting has been a "thing" since the 1940's. It became more and more popular over time, especially around 2020.The work-from-home revolution isn’t new—it’s just finally getting the spotlight. When people think of working - they are use to the W-2 world. Virgo and Aries LLC is proud to partner with a platform that’s been connecting people to remote jobs since 1994. We’re here to help individuals earn full or part time income.
What's the difference between W-2 & 1099 roles?
Understanding the key differences between a 1099 independent contractor and a W-2 employee is crucial. A 1099 contractor is self-employed and responsible for their own taxes, while a W-2 employee receives employee benefits and has taxes withheld by their employer. Being an independent contractor gives you liberties like setting your schedule. We recruit you as an agent, but you are not employed by us. You will be responsible for your own equipment.
1099 Contractor Pay
With higher payouts, 1099 contractors handle their taxes independently. Unlike traditional employees, no taxes are deducted from your payments. You'll need to manage and save for federal, state, and self-employment taxes throughout the year.
More Take-Home Pay Upfront – You receive full payment for your work without automatic deductions.
Tax flexibility – You can deduct business expenses to lower your taxable income.

Why do Independent Contractors have to pay fees?
As an independent contractor, fees help cover the cost of accessing work opportunities, secure payment processing, and administrative support. Specifically, you will have to pay your own background check, client deposit, and drug test fees, depending on the client you choose. These fees also contribute to platform maintenance, compliance checks, and tools that connect you to flexible jobs. While you earn more upfront, you're responsible for your own taxes and business expenses—so understanding fees helps you plan and thrive.
