  • Free lesson

An app connects you with customers nearby. You accept jobs, do the work, and the app pays you after taking its share.

Common types

  • Home cleaning apps such as SweepSouth.
  • Food and parcel delivery apps such as Mr D.
  • Handyman and task apps.

The steps to a first paid week

  1. Choose one app that fits your skills, vehicle and area.
  2. Apply, upload documents and finish onboarding.
  3. Work the busy hours in your area.
  4. Track every rand earned and spent.

A good sign: a full week with good ratings, and earnings after costs that are worth your time.
