Answer requests
People near you ask for what you do. Answer with a price and when; if they choose you, it's a job.
Go to Requests. You see two kinds: They asked you (the person picked you), and open requests that fit your work, your area and your credentials.
- Read what they need: the kind of work, their words, when, a budget if they gave one, and any photos. You see their town, not their street.
- Tap Answer.
- Put a Price ($), or a range with Up to ($, for a range).
- Say When you can do it ("Thursday afternoon"), and add A note (optional).
- Tap Send the answer.
They see the answers side by side: price, when, your rating, your credentials and your note. If they tap Choose them on yours, it becomes a job: it's under Jobs, with its own conversation in Messages, and you see their address so you can come. If they choose someone else, you're told.
Changed your mind? Change your answer, or Withdraw it while they haven't chosen.
Credentials
Some work can call for a licence or certificate where the person lives. The request says This work can call for: and shows your own label (checked, waiting, expired, or not on whodo). If they asked only for providers whodo checked, the request says so, and only providers whose credential whodo checked see it. To add yours, tap Add yours on Credentials (see Licences and credentials).
If they asked only for insured providers, the request says They asked for insured providers only. Only providers whose liability insurance whodo checked see it: add yours on Credentials, under What it is, Liability insurance.
Hearing about new requests
People who ask you by name always reach you. For open requests, turn on Matching notices on the same page: tick Tell me about requests that fit and choose At most, per day. A notice you don't want more of? Tap Show fewer like this: that kind is listed under Fewer of these:, where you can show it again.
