John, from Coventry, ditches his old job. Now earns £2,000 monthly as a handyman via Airtasker, doing DIY tasks.
The app began in Sydney, Australia, in 2012. John does various tasks for people, including assembling furniture and helping in gardens. He also handles decorating and cleaning jobs. Since last March, John has earned a five-star rating, showing Coventry people are very happy with his service.
He used to work as a Healthcare Assistant at Finefutures in Binley. Now, John focuses on Airtasker full-time. The 27-year-old does DIY work around Coventry and earns up to £2,000 per month. Before this, he studied at Coventry University.
Five years ago, John moved to Coventry from London, having grown up in Nigeria. He gained building experience before moving to the UK. Later, John improved his skills in London, learning more about decorating and gardening.
He earns more during busy times, like Christmas, and tries to capitalize on high demand periods. John also plays football for Central Ajax in Warwick. Normally, he does about three tasks weekly, but Christmas brings up to three furniture builds daily. He likes the freedom Airtasker gives him.
Airtasker helps John connect with locals. He remembers building a wardrobe once, and the customer praised his speed and efficiency. John now suggests Airtasker to his friends and family.
With Airtasker, a person can do many things, ranging from IT to engineering or handyman work. If you commit and gain reviews, it provides you with a great way to earn. People really appreciate hard work.
