Did you ever find yourself faced with a chore or task around the house that you needed help with? I have many times. And how many times, in conversation with friends, did it turn out that your friend, or a friend of your friend, could have helped you out with that chore? For me, probably at least half. Well, a new community platform has been launched with that exact situation in mind.
Chores Market is a free, online community where people can post the things they need help with. Chores Market then searches through your social media connections on networks like Facebook and Google +, as well as it’s own user database, to see if there is anyone you already know qualified to give you a helping hand and get that chore done. Not only can you find someone capable of providing the help you need, you can leave feedback about the people that have helped you. Here’s a better explanation, from the folks at Chores Market.
“Our goal is to help busy, on-the-go homeowners and businesses find skilled workers who they can trust and who they can afford to hire to help them with their chores, which may range from small tasks like vacuuming the house to pesky problems like fixing a leaky faucet or large projects like repairing a roof or building a patio or a deck,” said Jain. “At the same time, we’re helping to boost the economies of and connections within local communities by providing a form of income to a wide range of people, including those who may be unemployed, in-between jobs, students, the elderly or disabled, or those who are simply looking to make some side cash.”
The way Chores Market works is simple. You can either post a chore or search for a ‘helping hand’ in your area, or you can search for a chore as a ‘helping hand’. At Chores Market, users can negotiate the price of each chore with the ‘helping hand’, so that everyone is comfortable and satisfied with the price of each chore. Additionally, Chores Market offers a five day-warranty so that everyone can rest assured that the chore will be completed successfully and that the ‘helping hand’ will receive payment – not to mention a positive review and referral – for a job well done!
“Chores Market takes the guesswork and grunt work out of having to spend hours researching online or through the Yellow Pages when it comes to home or business maintenance,” continued Jain. “The site lets users gather real, honest opinions from friends, family and other Chores Market members about each ‘helping hand’ in a quick, viral way – at no cost – so that they can find the best person to help them get their to-dos done fast and done right.”
There are all sorts of chores you can post on Chores Market. And there’s a qualified helping hand for all of them. If you’re the type of person, like me, who is nervous about letting just anyone come into your home, you may feel more comfortable knowing that the helping hand you select is someone that your friends know and have recommended. You are likely to find the rate you negotiate with your helping hand far more reasonable then the price of one of the companies in the telephone book that you know nothing about. And, jobs completed by Chores Market helping hands come with a 5 day warranty, to ensure that your task is completed to your satisfaction.
