What is TaskRabbit? How Does It Work? How To Make Money With TaskRabbit

What is TaskRabbit?

TaskRabbit is an online, mobile marketplace for services. The platform allows buyers and sellers, mostly real-world tasks, to connect and negotiate the parameters of a business, price, and time frame.

TaskRabbit then takes a percentage of the hourly rate charged. Users of the service and those who do the work (Taskers) each review each other.

Clients can find a task by specifying the amount they are willing to pay for the job. They can then find TaskRabbit officers willing to work for that amount of money.

Likewise, if you’re someone who wants to do tasks for a client (known as a “tasker” on the website), you can specify how hard you want to work. You will then be notified when requests that match your desired rate are posted.

Working for TaskRabbit takes some preparation. You have to fill out an application form on TaskRabbit’s website and let them know your areas of expertise and the job you want to do. You’ll also have to go through a security check to make sure you’re working safely, and then pay a non-refundable $20 registration fee.

Once everything is ready, you will be listed as available for hire in your local area. People may approach you if they need your expertise in a particular area. You will also be notified when they post an ad for a job that fits your desired pay and skills.
