Airtasker

Airtasker is a professional services marketplace similar to Fiverr, Freelancer, Upwork (previously oDesk). They operate in a similar way to Ebay in trying to keep members communicating ONLY within the system. This ensures they keep earning a commission or listing fee for the service they provide.

It’s a great way for people new to business but there are many natural drivers which force customers and suppliers out of the system once they find a good person and want an ongoing relationship.

Their goal is to help businesses find a good bookkeeper or accountant but they work in many other fields too.

The problem with project bidding sites like Airtasker.com is that their main goal is to build their own brand and their own profile – NOT yours.

Airtasker reaches out to as many bookkeepers, BAS Agents and Accountants as they can find and then uses Google Ads to find leads and almost spams you with constant leads they receive. You then need to compete with other bookkeepers in their system.

Some of these bookkeeping leads are from tiny businesses who are looking for the cheapest possible price but you won’t know that until you pay your lead fee.
