In short
People nearby always need small jobs done: shovelling, yard work, dog walks, moving a couch, setting up a router. Pick three you’re good at, set a fair price, do a great first job, and ask for a review. Neighbr shows you requests nearby so you can offer in one tap.
- Pick jobs you can do well today.
- Price by the job, not the hour.
- Reviews turn one job into regulars.

How to price it
Price by the job: “$30 to shovel the driveway and walk”. Clear prices get quick yeses. For the first few jobs, price a little low and over-deliver.
Turn one job into regulars
Show up on time, do a bit more than asked, and ask for a review. A neighbour who’s happy with a shovelled driveway will ask you to rake the leaves in the fall.
