During the height of the pandemic, Kim moved into a new apartment and needed some help building furniture. As fate (or algorithms) would have it, she landed on Brandon\u2019s profile and booked him. And again. And again. Soon enough, Kim asked Brandon out on a date\u2026and the rest is history!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tr.co\/kimberly-b--46\">Kim<\/a> is a wedding planner by trade and was looking for extra work when events came to a full stop during the pandemic. So she started cleaning and organizing through Taskrabbit to supplement her income. She continues to task as her wedding business grows\u2014she\u2019s even booked several wedding clients through her cleaning and organizing clients!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tr.co\/brandon-b--81\">Brandon<\/a> grew up in a handy family and worked in finance before turning to Taskrabbit. He is currently building a couple of side businesses\u2014including a wedding arch business that fits in perfectly with Kim\u2019s business!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Kim and Brandon refer clients to each other. If Brandon is helping a client move, he\u2019ll refer Kim to help clean or organize, and vice-versa.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If something is outside your wheelhouse, refer it out to someone else or don\u2019t accept the task \u2013 clients appreciate the transparency.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t be afraid to walk away if someone is being disrespectful or if you don\u2019t feel comfortable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tasking isn\u2019t a perfect system; you\u2019re gonna have a bad day every once in a while, so don\u2019t let it spoil everything.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be explicit when asking for reviews: \u201cThose five-star reviews really help me grow my business.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kim\u2019s tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take pictures of everything.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you\u2019re cleaning white countertops: use a magic eraser and bleach.

You can also quickly scope the next task while you\u2019re there, if needed.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For gallery walls: plan the layout with a piece of paper or lay the frames out on the floor before you start.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the height of the pandemic, Kim moved into a new apartment and needed some help building furniture.
