Describe what you need done. Neighbors and local businesses can answer with an offer, and you choose.
Offer a service yourself
List up to 3 services with your own prices on your Side hustle page. To be paid by card through Papalocal you need Citizen Plus and your own Stripe account. Later, a side hustle can become a business on Papalocal.
