Not talking about plumbers, electricians or other professional services.

I mean those annoying one-off tasks that keep getting postponed because they're not worth an entire day but still need to be done.

For example:

Moving heavy furniture.

Picking something up from the other side of the city.

Waiting at home for a delivery.

An extra pair of hands while shifting.

Helping at a small event.

Any other random errand.

What's that one task you've wished you could just pay someone reliable nearby to handle?

I'm building a hyperlocal marketplace in India for small local tasks.

The product is ready enough to onboard users, but getting the first users has been much harder than building it.

The biggest challenge is obvious: people won't post tasks if there aren't enough taskers nearby, and taskers won't stay if they don't see tasks.

I'm currently trying organic channels like Reddit and social media, but I'd love to hear from founders who've actually gone through this.

How did you get your first 100 users? Did you focus on one city, one niche, or something completely different?

What worked, and what turned out to be a waste of time?

Most people looking for extra income end up competing for the same surveys, referrals, and online gigs.

I've been exploring the offline side through HelpHive , one-time local tasks with flexible timings.

Things like helping someone move furniture, carrying boxes during shifting, event setup and teardown, local deliveries, running errands, or other quick tasks nearby.

In your opinion, which category tends to perform best in your area?

Say someone needed help with:

​

1.Moving furniture

2.Event setup

3.Carrying boxes

4.Picking up and delivering an item

5.Other one-time local tasks

​

How far would you realistically travel?

​

1.Within 2 km

2.Within 5 km

3.Within 10 km

4.Anywhere in the city

​

Also, would the distance depend on the payout?
