TaskRabbit.com Reviews – Legit or Scam?

May 16th, 2012  |  Published in Real Jobs

It is hard to catch up in life with limited time in the day. Getting things done with the continuous interruptions of our daily lives can be frustrating. It is easy to be sidetracked by situations and last minute requests, which can leave you in a bind.

TaskRabbit’s services are available to provide relief for any personal or business related tasks you need help with, you cannot get to, you do not have time for or you are not able to do yourself.

TaskPosters name their own price when they post a task, the price should be carefully calculated. Some factors to think about when calculating your price should include the amount of travel associated with the task, the amount of time it will take to complete the task and the difficulty or special skills a task may require. Remember that TaskRabbit runners do not receive benefits, they do not have growth opportunities and some of them do not have a stable income, so price you task fairly.

The TaskRabbit is paid for price of their bid and any reimbursements they are owed. The company charges TaskPosters a fee for their service based on the amount of the bid, the higher the bid, the lower the service charge is.

Post your task online through the TaskRabbit website, TaskRabbit runners will bid on your task. You may choose which TaskRabbit is the one for you based on the price of their bids, their experience and skill sets, their location, their demand, or their leader board ranking. The leader board is a point system for TaskRabbit runners to earn points by receiving good reviews, responding quickly with bids, accurately bidding, and encouraging others to join.

Is TaskRabbit Safe?

TaskRabbit runners are fully screened to ensure the safety of TaskPosters. Their identities are verified, they have a thorough background check, and their reputation is reviewed by their personal community. Once they have been approved, they must complete an online training program.

This concept, which originated in Boston in 2009, is continuing to expand into new cities to provide others their help. In cities where it is currently located, you can get help anytime, anywhere, from TaskRabbits in your area. There are times where everyone has needed or will need help.

TaskRabbits are there to make your life a bit simpler and less stressful by providing the support you need. For the most part individuals who have used the service have left generally positive reviews.

December 15th, 2011  |  Published in Real Jobs, Website Reviews

PeoplePerHour is a website that connects small businesses with freelance workers from across the internet to help them complete small projects quickly and affordably.

They have seven main categories of projects: IT/Programming, Marketing/Sales, Design, Admin/Secretarial, Writing/Translation, Accounting/Legal, or Other. Each category is broken into smaller, more specific categories so workers can something that works for them.

Both businesses and workers can register at PeoplePerHour.com for free. The website does take a small fee from workers, however, when they successfully book a job.

Online Writing, Editing, and Proofreading Jobs

April 4th, 2011  |  Published in Real Jobs

You can take two different approaches to starting an online writing career. You can submit your content to ad-revenue share writing sites or pursue a more traditional freelance writing career where you get paid per assignment.

If you’re pursuing the revenue sharing route, then it may help to learn a bit of SEO (Search Engine Optimization). The reason for this is that you want your articles to get as much publicity as possible.

The more views that your article gets the more you’re likely to earn. You don’t have to become an SEO expert, especially since you’re not working on your own website, but a little bit of knowledge can go a long way.

Below you will find a list of revenue share writing sites, freelance writing websites, and online companies that’ll pay you for proofreading & editing work.

Revenue Share Writing Jobs:




If you decide to go the more traditional route then you don’t have to worry about anything other than submitting correctly written assignments. Before you start bidding on freelance writing jobs you should prepare a few things.

The most important thing to have is several examples of your writing. Choose your best pieces and try to have examples that fit the type of writing that your new employer is looking for.

You should also have a list of referrals that you can show employers to help you land the more desirable jobs. A lot of the freelance websites allow clients to rate freelancers so you can refer potential employers directly to your profile, provided that you have great reviews.
