# Best categories to start with for quick approval and steady work

After trying different categories, here's my ranking for beginners: 1) Furniture Assembly - tons of volume, IKEA is your friend 2) Moving/Lifting Help - always needed 3) Delivery - easy and flexible 4) General Cleaning - lower competition than you'd think. Avoid handyman tasks until you have 20+ reviews unless you have real skills to prove. The key is building that initial review base fast.

Furniture assembly is definitely the way to go starting out. IKEA is predictable and instructions are consistent. Once you've done a few MALM dressers, you can do them in your sleep!

Agree on avoiding handyman until you have reviews. I made that mistake and got a job I wasn't qualified for. Very uncomfortable situation. Build up slowly!
