As a freelancer, you decide what equipment and materials you'll use for your assignments. Having certain equipment and materials on hand can make it easier for you to prepare for assignments. It can also be helpful to make sure you talk to your client before an assignment to ensure you have all the equipment and materials you might need.

Below, we've listed some of the most commonly requested equipment and materials.

Common equipment and materials include:

• A basic tool kit

• Tape measure

• Box cutter

• Ladder

• Electric drill

Useful equipment and materials for moving assistance:

If you haven't received any tasks or aren't receiving as many as you'd like, here are some great tips to increase your chances of getting invited:

• Make sure your account isn't paused.

• If possible, expand your work area map. This can give you more opportunities to get tasks.

• Add more availability to your calendar. If you indicate that you're unavailable, you won't appear in clients' search results and won't receive task invitations. Make sure to only indicate your availability when you can actually complete tasks.

• Add any skills you feel comfortable doing tasks with. Offering everything you can do increases your visibility to clients.

• Add more details to your claims: this will help you differentiate yourself from other Taskers.

• Adjust your rates to be more competitive. The pricing guidance feature, in the "Skills & Rates" section of the app, is based on your experience level and the prices clients pay to book tasks in your area.

• Set your same-day preferences and enable same-day task invitations. This option resets every midnight, so be sure to turn it back on when you want to accept same-day tasks.
