A picture is worth a thousand words
Your profile picture is hugely important to letting clients know they can trust who they’re inviting into their homes. Taskers with professional-looking profile pictures receive 240% more invitations. Learn how to do the same for your business.
Write a Detailed Skills & Experience Description
Skills & Experience descriptions are a way to market your skills to clients by showcasing your experience, the tools you have, and why they should choose you for their task. The more skills and details you can include, the better—this will help clients see why you (and only you) are the right person to do the task.
Check out some Skills & Experience description examples to help you complete yours with ease.
Set Your Schedule in Advance
Clients book Taskers on average 3-5 days in advance for most tasks, and 5-7 days in advance for IKEA Assembly tasks. A 3+ hour block of continuous availability is optimal for receiving tasks. Keep this in mind when setting your schedule, and make sure you update your availability daily to avoid schedule conflicts.
Choose your days wisely
While all Taskers are encouraged to take breaks from tasking whenever they choose, they’re encouraged to set their schedule for when they’re most likely to receive tasks. The most popular days for clients to book tasks are Fridays and Saturdays, so make sure to include weekends when setting availability. The least popular day? Monday. Clients must have a case of the Mondays too.
Maintain High Ratings
High ratings will certainly catch clients’ eyes as they are scanning search results for Taskers. To receive high ratings, be prompt, respond quickly, communicate clearly, and treat your clients and their belongings with respect.
Understanding the client’s perspective is a great step toward building a lucrative, lasting, and rewarding freelance business. Great customer service comes in different forms, and as Taskers, you have the opportunity to make new, worthwhile connections every day.
