A friend suggested TaskRabbit and I figured why not. Started slow - maybe $200 my first week doing random tasks. Focused on furniture assembly since I'm handy. By month 2, I had 25 reviews and was averaging $800/week. Now at month 4, I'm consistently hitting $5k/month working about 35 hours. The flexibility is incredible - I pick my kids up from school every day now, something I could never do before.
