Takl touts itself as “the easiest way to find same-day help with home services.” That’s great news if you’re good at anything from yard work to home organization.
You simply sign up as a provider, complete some basic information — including what kinds of tasks you’d be willing to work on — and Takl will match you with people looking for someone with your skills in your area. You choose which tasks to accept and are paid when you complete them via direct deposit.
Cleaning, shopping and delivery, handyman, moving help, general help and summer tasks are a few of the categories that you can hire yourself out to do for others.
TaskRabbit will notify you of potential jobs nearby. Then you select the ones you want to complete, confirm the details with the requester and do your task. Once you’re done, you submit an invoice and get paid.
