Getting the little things done with TaskRabbit

TaskRabbit is a new online service that calls itself “service networking”. TaskRabbit matches up individuals with extra time with individuals who need help. TaskRabbit combines the ease-of-use of other services with reviews and reliability ratings. Post resource – TaskRabbit – Getting things done and making money by Personal Money Store.

The basics of TaskRabbit

The basic idea of TaskRabbit is simple: you will find things that individuals need help with. Tasks could be just about anything – picking up groceries, running dry cleaning around, or walking a dog. For any person who can’t afford a full-time personal assistant, TaskRabbit helps find them task-by-task. If you have a task, you post the details and the price you’re willing to pay. It ends up being a win-win.

Making money with TaskRabbit

TaskRabbit is attractive not only because people can get things done, but because you can make additional cash. You can even bid for or make counteroffers on a task. The “service networking” system helps any person with a couple of extra minutes turn it into money. You should consider a few things when you are deciding if you should accept a task. You need to first think about if the task will cost you any cash. 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. Keep in mind that if you will make more than $ 600 in one year, you will have to pay fifteen percent in self employment tax.

TaskRabbit in new cities

Currently, TaskRabbit is only accessible in Boston and San Francisco. TaskRabbit plans on expanding, but it will take at least a couple of months to add cities. You are able to still 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.
