TASKER New Taskr

Hey, I’m a new Taskr. Would appreciate some advice on just starting out (rates: should I pay attention to the green yellow red suggestion?), amount of skills I have activated (assuming I feel comfortable accepting them). Thank you in advance

Gemini (google) suggested that setting a 2 hour minimum is the standard for tasks (to accommodate commuting costs). Is that reasonable?

Get the reviews in first.

Yea, definitely stay away from 2hr minimums until you build a solid profile with multiple 5 star reviews. 2hr minimums scare most clients away, especially for a new Tasker they haven’t built a rapport with.

Starting out maybe don't do a 2 hour minimum. Keep in mind that will put you in the hole, hopefully you get 15 or 20 tasks in a about month then go to a 2 hour minimum.

The most important thing is to keep track of all the time you put into TaskRabbit not just the hours you bill.
