MicroJobs.com.au

So what is a micro job? A micro job is, as the name suggests, a small job. Let's say something like cleaning out the shed, picking up the dry cleaning or perhaps cooking dinner. The possibilities are endless. These days through the power of the Internet you can outsource these micro jobs. The latest player on the Australian micro jobs scene is http://www.microjobs.com.au/ look them up. MicroJobs.com.au sets itself apart from other types of websites along the same theme for freelancers. Freelancer websites mainly offer online work where the location of the people involved is not important. Microjobs.com.au, however, allows you to connect with people in your community.
For example, Lets say I ordered some furniture from IKEA and paid for it online, but my car is too small to transport the boxes and I really don't want to stand in the line. Also lets say IKEA charges $50 for delivery. So I just enter my job details into the microjobs.com.au site. Then someone with a bigger car and the time to stand in the line will quote to do the job. Lets say they quoted $20. That means I will pay them $20 to go to IKEA pick up the furniture and deliver it to my place. So I have just saved myself $30.
Next example, Lets say I need my shed cleaned out and everything taken to the dump, but I really don't want to do it and also I don't have a trailer. So again I go onto microjobs.com.au and enter my job details. Success! Someone just down the street with a trailer quotes $30 to do the job. So I get my shed cleaned out, I also get to meet my neighbour and my neighbour gets to make a bit of money. Everyone wins.
