How to become an Airtasker

Airtasker is Australia’s largest jobs-based gig platform that connects people and businesses. Whether you’re looking for help with cleaning, gardening, deliveries, or even handyman services, Airtasker is great platform to help you find the perfect person for the job. But how do you become an Airtasker? Let’s look at what steps you’ll need to take.

‍

‍Step 1: Create an account

The first step to becoming an Airtasker is to create your account. This is easy; all you do is provide a valid email address and choose a password. Once your account is created, you can begin to customise it with personal info and preferences. If you wish, you can also add photos of yourself and your work so that potential customers can get a better idea of who they’re dealing with.

‍

‍Step 2: Complete your profile

Once your account is set up, it’s time to complete your profile. This involves providing information about yourself as well as details about the services or tasks that you are qualified for and willing to offer. Be sure to be detailed here; the more information potential customers have about you and the services you offer, the more likely they are to choose you over other candidates. You should also include any relevant qualifications or experience that could be helpful in getting hired for specific tasks.

‍

‍Step 3: Set your price

After completing your profile, it’s time to set your price per hour or task completed. Remember that this will vary depending on the type of job being requested and how much experience or expertise it requires from someone like you – so be sure not to undervalue yourself. Once your price is set, all that’s left to do is wait for customers to contact you with their requests – then it’s just a matter of bidding for the jobs you want to do. If you are new to the platform, it’s super important that you price yourself to get work and build up your reviews and jobs completed. So, in the early days you might need to go a little cheaper than you would normally charge.

Step 4: Keep accurate records

Being on Airtasker and getting paid does mean you will need to include this income in your tax return. One of the easiest ways to track this is with Thriday, which handles all your bookkeeping, accounting and tax in minutes. If you also want the peace of mind of having someone review your books, Thriday even has tax experts who can review your numbers online.

‍The rules:

1.  You must be at least 18 years old to sign up to be an Airtasker in Australia.

2. When you win a bid, you are responsible for completing the task as agreed upon with the client.  

3. You can withdraw your earnings at any time but there is a small fee associated with doing so.

‍

Becoming an Airtasker in Australia is relatively simple if you know what steps need to be taken. Creating an account and completing your profile are important first steps — but make sure not to forget to set your price per hour. With these things in place, all that remains is waiting for customers with requests suitable for someone like yourself. Airtasker is a great way to earn income and be flexible with your work schedule. We wish you the best of luck.
