Be professional
- Read the brief properly and have what the job needs ready, like the right device, software or tools.
- Communicate clearly and kindly, and keep chat on TaskCoast.
- Deliver work that is your own, in the format and quality you promised. For local jobs, leave the place as you found it, or better.
- Only take tasks you're qualified for. Licensed work needs a licence.
Tip: a short, specific offer ("I test on an iPhone 15 and a Pixel 8 and send screen recordings with every bug") wins more work than a long generic one.
Be reliable
- Only make offers you can keep. Cancelling after you're assigned lowers your completion rate.
- Meet your deadline, or arrive on time for local jobs. If you're running late, message before the deadline, not after.
- If plans change, use Reschedule on the task rather than going quiet.
Your completion rate counts the last 20 tasks you were assigned, and only cancellations you were responsible for.
Be responsive
- Reply to questions and messages within a few hours during the day.
- Confirm details before you start: the deadline, the files or access you need, and for local jobs the time, address and parking.
- Mark the task complete when you're done, so the poster can release payment.
Be honest
- Price fairly and stick to the agreed price. If the job turns out bigger, request a price increase on the task and explain why.
- Report problems straight away, including any damage, however small.
- For quick tasks, use your own approved account and submit real proof every time.
