Outsource your errands with TaskRabbit

TaskRabbit is a new online service that calls itself “service networking”. People who need extra help getting things done are matched up with those that have additional time. By combining user ratings and reviews, TaskRabbit proves to be safer and more reliable than other, comparable services online.

How TaskRabbit works

TaskRabbit is built on the idea that TaskRabbit matches individuals that have additional time with people that need help getting things done. Tasks could be just about anything – picking up groceries, running dry cleaning around, or walking a dog. TaskRabbit is the task-by-task personal assistant for anyone who can’t afford one full time. Anyone with a task posts the information and just how much they’re willing to pay, and someone in their area can agree to help out. It ends up being a win-win.

Working through TaskRabbit

TaskRabbit is a excellent way for people in big cities for making just a little additional spending money. You can even bid for or make counteroffers on a task. ”Service networking” helps turn that additional time into extra money. You need to consider a few things when you’re deciding if you should accept a task. First, think about how much cash the task will cost you. Second, map out exactly how much time the task is going to take. Decide if the offered price of the task is what you are really worth. Make sure to set aside fifteen percent in self employment taxes if you’re going to be making more than $ 600 a year in these tasks.

TaskRabbit in new cities

You will find only two cities – Boston and San Francisco – that have TaskRabbit services. There are plans for TaskRabbit to expand, but it will take time for the service to add extra cities. You can still make additional money with the TaskRabbit concept, even if it is not inside your city. The Craigslist gigs section is a great place to start with the job.
