TaskRabbit - Getting things done and making money

Called “service networking”, TaskRabbit is a new online service in a couple of big cities. TaskRabbit matches up individuals with extra time with people who need help. By combining user ratings and reviews, TaskRabbit proves to be safer and more reliable than other, comparable services online.

The basics of TaskRabbit

The essential idea behind TaskRabbit is that some individuals need help, and others have additional time. Tasks could be anything – picking up groceries, running dry cleaning around, or walking a dog. Most individuals cannot afford a personal assistant to do their running around, but TaskRabbit helps them find help. Post6 a task and the amount you are willing to pay, and someone in the area can claim the task as theirs. In the end, it’s good for everybody.

Making cash with TaskRabbit

You are able to make quick cash by working off of TaskRabbit. The system consists of a way to ask for more cash or bid on a task. The “service networking” aspect helps turn additional time into additional money. You need to consider a few things when you are deciding if you should accept a task. First, think about how much cash the task will cost you. Second, map out precisely 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 are worth.

You are able to nevertheless make extra cash with the TaskRabbit concept, even if it’s not in your city. Try hiring yourself out for the things on the Craigslist gigs section.
