How to communicate well on Airtasker as a Tasker

 

Communication is key to having a great task experience. When Posters and Taskers communicate often and well, they’re on the same page and have aligned their expectations, so the task goes smoothly.

 

To help you communicate effectively, we’ve put together the below tips.

 

 

We wouldn’t want you to miss out on anything! Check that your notification settings are up to date, so you are notified about communications on any tasks you follow. You can choose to receive alerts pushed straight through to your smartphone, or via SMS or email.

 

Comments are compulsory when you place an offer, but you are also free to use them at other times too. Use comments to ask for more information from a Poster, or to explain why you are a good fit for the task.

 

You can also share photos in the comments. This is a great opportunity to showcase your skills through your portfolio or examples of past work.

 

Please note that making comments may only be possible once you’ve finished filling out all your details. Make sure that you’ve entered a date of birth, billing address, bank account, mobile number and provided a profile picture.

 

 

It’s a great idea to send the Poster a message as soon as you’re notified that you’ve been assigned. This helps the Poster feel more confident that they have made a great decision, especially if they’re a first-timer.

 

This is the perfect time to start organizing the logistics of the task by confirming things such as specific time, location and requirements. Try to keep discussions about the task on the Airtasker platform, as this is helpful for us in case anything goes wrong.

 

Once you’ve finished the task and payment has been released, we encourage you to leave a genuine review of your experience. This is great for the marketplace as it maintains transparency and builds trust in the community.
