Two Quests for the same job. One says "Clean AC, Rp 200.000". The other says "Clean 2 split AC units in the bedrooms, 1 PK and 1.5 PK, last cleaned a year ago, ladder at home, Saturday morning". The second one is easy to price, so the prices in its offers are prices a Tasker can stand by. It takes about five minutes to write.
Say exactly what needs doing
Name the thing and how many: two AC units, one wardrobe from IKEA, a 60 m² apartment. On the Quest Market a Tasker reads the title before anything else, so put the job there in plain words.
Give the size and the hard parts
The price depends on how big the job is and what makes it slow. Mention the stubborn stain, the third floor with no lift, the tap that has leaked for months. Leaving out the hard part only means a higher price later, or a Tasker who turns up without the right tools.
Say what you have and what to bring
Do you have a ladder, a mop, the screws that came with the desk? Say so. If the Tasker should bring tools or cleaning liquids, say that too, so their price can include them.
Add a photo or two
A photo of the leaking pipe or the overgrown garden answers most questions before anyone asks them. It takes a minute. Photos are public, so keep house numbers, faces and papers out of the picture.
Give a time window
"Saturday morning" or "any weekday after 5" suits more people than one exact hour. You agree the exact time in the chat with the person you pick.
Set a budget you would really pay
Your budget tells Taskers what you have in mind. For common kinds of work the posting screen shows a usual price range as a guide. Taskers can still offer a different price, and you choose.
Before you post
- The title says the job and how many.
- The details give the size and the hard parts.
- You said what you have and what to bring.
- There is a photo, if the job can be seen.
- The time is a window, not one exact hour.
