Frequently Asked Questions

Everything about booking helpers, earning money and staying protected — in plain English.

Getting started

What is FindYourOneDayJob?
A marketplace for paid one-day jobs. Customers post tasks — moving help, cleaning, repairs, childcare, events and 90+ more categories — and helpers nearby complete them and get paid the same day. No résumé, no interviews, no red tape.
How do I sign up?
Registration is free and takes about two minutes. Choose whether you want to hire help, earn money as a helper — or both.
What does it cost?
Joining is $0 for everyone. Posting a task is free. Helpers pay a flat 15% service fee only when they earn: complete a $100 job, keep $85. No subscriptions, no hidden fees. Details on our pricing page.

For customers

How do I book a helper?
Post your task (our AI generator writes the job post for you in seconds) or browse helper profiles directly. Compare ratings and reviews, pick your helper, confirm — done.
What payment methods are accepted?
All major credit and debit cards, processed securely by Stripe. Depending on your region, digital wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay are also available. Every transaction is encrypted.
When is my helper paid?
Your payment is held securely and only released when the job is done. That protects both sides.
Can I cancel or reschedule?
Yes — free of charge any time before your helper has started the work. Just manage the booking from your account.
What if I\u2019m not satisfied?
Contact our support immediately — every job is covered by payment protection, and our team resolves disputes fairly. You can reach us via the contact page or the AI chat (bottom right, 24/7).

For helpers

How much can I earn?
You set your own rates. Typical starting rates in our most-booked categories range from $25/h (grocery shopping) to $45/h (bartending). See real examples on the Become a Helper page.
When do I get paid?
The same day the job is completed. Payouts are processed securely via Stripe to your bank account.
Do I need a r\u00e9sum\u00e9 or experience?
No. Your profile, your skills and your reviews speak for themselves. Complete jobs well and your rating does the marketing for you.
What is the founding bonus?
Complete 10 jobs, each worth $250 or more, confirmed by the customer with no open dispute, and we pay a one-time $250 founding bonus. Details on the Earn Now page.

Trust & safety

How are payments protected?
Payments are processed by Stripe and held securely until the job is completed — helpers know the money is real, customers know it is only released for finished work.
How do I know who I\u2019m dealing with?
Every profile shows ratings and written reviews from real completed jobs. Check them before you book or accept.
What happens with my data?
We process data under GDPR and never sell it. Full details in our Privacy Policy.
