TaskRabbit - Getting things done and making money

In a few big cities, “service networking” is the newest name for the service offered by TaskRabbit. Anyone who needs help with a task can match up with someone who has some additional time. By combining user ratings and reviews, TaskRabbit proves to be safer and more reliable than other, comparable services online.

The idea of TaskRabbit

The basic idea of TaskRabbit is simple: you will find things that people need help with. Be it watering window boxes, picking up dog food or running dry cleaning, every person has something. TaskRabbit is the task-by-task personal assistant for everyone who can’t afford one full time. Post6 a task and the amount you are willing to pay, and somebody in the area can claim the task as theirs. Within the end, it is good for everyone.

Getting work with TaskRabbit

TaskRabbit is attractive not only because people can get things done, but because you can make extra cash. You are able to even bid for or make counteroffers on a task. ”Service networking” helps turn that extra time into extra money. If you would like to accept a task, you should consider a few things. First, think about how much cash the task will cost you. Second, map out exactly how much time the task is going to take. Finally, consider what your hourly rate is going to be and if amount offered is enough for what you’re worth. Keep in mind that if you will make more than $ 600 in one year, you can have to pay fifteen percent in self employment tax.

TaskRabbit in new cities

Currently, TaskRabbit is only available in Boston and San Francisco. TaskRabbit plans on expanding, but it will take at least a couple of months to add cities. If you’re in one of the many areas where there is no TaskRabbit, then you can nevertheless make extra money with the concept. Try hiring yourself out for the things on the Craigslist gigs section.
