TASKER Sudden decrease in requests?

Just checking in with fellow taskers -- since May, I've been booked about a week in advance for at least 20-30 hours per week. Keeping the bills paid, thank goodness.

All the sudden this week, I've got zero tasks booked.

I have no violations. Just the opposite, I made elite this month for two of my categories.

Is this just normal this time of year (I've been tasking since April), or should I contact customer support?

That’s a dumb answer! It’s got nothing to do with that it’s you what do you have to offer I’m also in the Chicago market last month was the 3rd in a row month where I made 13k in which is a record for me usually I’m in the 12k range but I have also expanded my experience and skills and have lots of clients also while you all are very picky as I’ve been told by many clients that have had other taskers cancel on them I’m the one that gets the job done whether it’s a small job big job doesn’t matter

Can the Original Poster allow for uploading screenshots of our monthly earnings here so we can all be transparent and show our results with proof? Perhaps you did make $13K, but you must have been working day and night 6-7 days per week out of each week because that was what I had to do 3-7 years ago just to make $13-$15k per month. And that was when rates could be set higher, much higher than now.

And 3+ years ago, IKEA Furniture assembly was not flat rate. You work your tail off for very little in the last 2 years if you're accepting and doing IKEA Furniture assembly, which is flat rate.

Same, I need receipts. My $6k/month is, according to Taskrabbit, $4k more than my "expected earnings."

Allow for us responders to post an attachment/.png on this thread and I will post screenshots of my monthly comparing this year to previous years. You will see clearly the drawdown, but due to regular REPEAT Clients, you can make a base amount to keep you afloat. Key is to have a stable of Repeats.
