TaskRabbit

TaskRabbit is a platform that matches freelance labor with local demand. 'Taskers' can earn money by helping people with everyday tasks such as furniture assembly (very popular due to their IKEA partnership), moving help, cleaning, mounting TVs, and yard work. It is an excellent way to turn manual skills into cash.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is there a registration fee?

In some markets, there is a non-refundable $25 registration fee to process your background check. This is a one-time fee to become a Tasker.

2. How do I get jobs?

You build a profile highlighting your skills and set your hourly rate. Clients browse profiles and hire you directly. Once you build up good reviews, you will appear higher in search results.

3. How does payment work?

TaskRabbit handles all payments securely through the app. Clients pay via credit card, and you receive your earnings via direct deposit to your bank account.

4. Does TaskRabbit take a cut?

TaskRabbit adds a service fee on top of your hourly rate that the client pays. This means you keep 100% of the hourly rate you set for yourself (plus tips!).

5. Is it safe?

TaskRabbit vets all Taskers, but you should always exercise caution. The app allows you to chat with the client beforehand to scope out the job and ensure you feel comfortable.
