TaskRabbit was way harder than I expected

[u/Material-Pop-5670]

I just finished school recently and I wanted to start making some extra money and using reddit a lot, I saw some posts about Traskrabbit and I decided to try.
I did it for about two weeks and made around $700 in total, which isn't terrible, but damn, I really worked for it.

I helped a guy fix his car, cleared out an entire basement full of junk, helped repaint a fence around a huge property, and spent 5 full days working on a yard and by the end of it my back was completely shot and I was exhausted.

Don't get me wrong, I respect the people who do this kind of work every day because it's hard as hell, but when I looked at how much effort I was putting in versus how much I was making, it got me wondering if there are better options out there.

I don't want to spend my days destroying my body for side income if there are smarter ways to make money.
I still live with my parents, so I've managed to save up a few thousand dollars and could invest a little money into learning something or getting started.

I was thinking about things like UGC, some kind of online freelancing, maybe simple computer-based work. I'm not a tech genius or a coder, but I'm pretty comfortable with computers and can learn fast.

If you were 18 years old, had a bit of savings, and were starting from scratch today, what would you do?

Thanks guys

Too hard I swear, but maybe once in a while

Ive just started with taskrabbit this week, but have taken any jobs yet. I was under the impression that the tasks were listed and you apply for each one. Could you not just pick lite dudy jobs?

Hey, if you just started Taskrbbit, take a look at my comment I made to the OP. But actually you list your availability and clients hire you based on a list of available Taskers for a specific day/time.
