Helping Austin businesses get everything done
We’re proud to launch the Business Starter Program, designed especially for Austin’s small businesses. Whether you’re a coffee shop, a local retailer, or a creative startup, we’re here to help you get those to-do lists checked off — and keep your business moving forward.
As a way of giving back to the Austin community, we’re offering $2,000 in Airtasker credits to help local businesses access the extra hands they need.
“Airtasker has been a life saver in helping run our Airbnb properties. We’ve been in so many situations where we’ve needed a cleaner, plumber or handyperson immediately! We’ve always found the right person in the local area to fix the problem which in turn has helped with our 5 star reputation.”

I’m looking for someone to come give us a hand preparing some envelopes for our customers.
Time: 3 hours (1-4pm)
Rate: $22/hr
The job would be pretty straight forward. Sitting in our office putting labels onto envelopes and pre-packaging orders for our customers.
We have a small team of 4 and we are looking for someone chill who comes in and can smash out a bunch of prep for us (putting things in envelopes).
We have hundreds of orders to do so the quicker you can smash out prep the more helpful you will be for us!
Please inquire if that sounds like something you would be keen on doing 🙂
P.S – We are looking for someone who could do this every week with us throughout this year.
We are a growing business and we would love to have someone we get along with and trust to come in each day and help us out.

I am doing a mail out to my top 500 clients. It will involve a letter and magnet.
I need someone to do the following:
– fold 500 generic letters and place in a DL envelope with a Magnet
– place an addressed label on each envelope
– I need the labels printed
I can supply the following – letters printed, blank labels, envelopes, magnets and database.
So you just need to print the labels and place on envelopes and then place a letter and magnet in each.
