So, what is YouDo? According to the developers:
"YouDo - convenient service, which allows you to quickly and safely find reliable performers to solve household and business problems.”
Indeed, if you need, for example, to transport things to the other side of town, hang wallpaper, write an article or anything else, you can find a person on YouDo who will do it for you. Moreover, you set the price for your task yourself! It turns out to be a completely mutually beneficial cooperation: you save, and your performer earns.
I’ll tell you more about the terminology of the site:
Customer: The person creating the task. To do this, you only need to register on the site. It is possible not to register specifically, but to log in through social networks: [link], Facebook, Google+ and VK. Very convenient.
Executor: a person ready to complete the customer’s task. In order to become one, you need to not only register on the site, but also go through the verification procedure.
It consists of several points:
1) you need to fill out a questionnaire about yourself. In the form you will need to indicate telephone numbers two "guarantors". These should be people who can answer simple questions about you. My guarantors were asked if they knew me, who they were related to me, my patronymic and year of birth. IN general questions will be based on the information you provide when filling out the form, nothing complicated. I signed up my sister and husband;
2) pass a test for knowledge of the rules of the service. The test is short and not at all difficult; 3) wait for the manager to call. They called me three days later. They asked if I had registered on the YouDo website and specified my personal information. Immediately afterwards they called my guarantors. The conversation with the manager goes very quickly, it doesn’t even take a couple of minutes. After which you will receive a notification on your phone that you have been assigned the status of performer. Finally!
In general, I would like to say that the devil is not as scary as he is portrayed to be. Although all this seems long and complicated at first glance, in reality it is not so, and there is no need to be afraid of verification.
Offer: This is the performer’s request to complete the task.
After you become a performer, a gift of 500 rubles is credited to your account. Previously, there was such a system: after completing a task, performers paid a commission to the site, something like 15% of the amount earned. Now, due to the abundance of numerous schemes to circumvent this rule, the site works according to a different scheme: offers from performers have become paid, the cost of the offer varies from 15 to 70 rubles, but the commission has been abolished.
On the one hand, this seems to be convenient if you are often chosen as a performer, but on the other hand, you can spend all the money leaving offers, but you may never be chosen... In general, I personally liked the previous scheme better, but... Alas. By the way, it’s rare, but there are tasks with the customer’s open phone number, that is, free: you can call and negotiate directly.
After you have been chosen as a contractor and you have completed the task, you need to write a few words about how it was for you to work with the customer (or, if you are a customer, then, accordingly, how it was for you to work with the contractor). Reviews form your rating in the eyes of future customers and increase the likelihood that you will be chosen next time.
The rules say that if you receive three negative reviews, the account should be blocked, but I have met people with three and four negative reviews, and they all live and live normally and continue to complete tasks. That is, getting a minus is also, in principle, not as scary as it seems.
A little more about the most important rules resource:
You cannot indicate your contacts in the comments to tasks, otherwise, oh my God!, the resource will not receive its 15 rubles. if the customer contacts you directly. This is a very important rule; moderators on the site quickly monitor and delete such messages.
Insults are prohibited in chat. Naturally.
If controversial situations arise between the customer and the contractor, the resource administration takes responsibility for resolving them. There are known situations when the case came to court.
To prevent you from getting into such unpleasant situations, I want to give you a couple of advice about how to choose the right tasks and customers!
If you are a performer, then:
Firstly, I advise you to ignore customers who have no reviews. I highly recommend it. They throw;
secondly, do not choose tasks where you need to buy something at your own expense and deliver it. They throw;
thirdly, do not choose tasks with an inappropriately inflated price. Usually they don't pay for them at all. I mean... they throw it));
fourthly, I advise you not to take tasks with application testing or surveys - scammers find out personal information and manage to extract CVV numbers of bank cards. I think you can imagine the consequences;
And fifthly, prudent customers often offer advance payment themselves, but if yours does not do this, and the cost and volume of work are quite high, do not hesitate and discuss this issue with him yourself.
If there is no one-on-one contact with the customer, then it is usually practiced to pay for bank card, there are usually no problems with this either. But sometimes my nerves get frayed. I once had to be reminded five times that he forgot to pay me extra. But nothing, everything turned out fine in the end.
I think the main disadvantage of the resource is that most tasks are available only for Moscow and St. Petersburg. Although there is a “Virtual Assistant” job category, you can find something there for remote work.
Since YouDo is still a fairly young project, I think the time will come when it will spread to all other regions.
In conclusion, I can say that finding a part-time job on this site is quite possible! You just need to approach tasks using common sense and adequate requirements. So, I wish you to find good customers and responsible performers there and gain useful and interesting experience.
If you want to earn extra income in your free time or need a source of income while you are looking for a permanent job, YouDo is right for you.

Step two. Once your application has been processed, you will be interviewed. If you do not live in Moscow, you will need to record a short video with answers to a few simple questions.

Step three. You will be notified within two business days whether you were successful in checking. If the decision is positive, a green check mark will appear on your YouDo profile. And you can start completing tasks.
Now the YouDo team of performers has more than two thousand users. Four out of ten people who are interviewed receive verified performer status. A third of our performers are students. They either have not yet found a permanent job future profession, or they don’t want a full-time job to distract from their studies. Another third of performers are people over 25 years old, for whom YouDo is a source of additional income. For example, their main job requires a flexible schedule or they have time to complete tasks on the weekends. The remaining third of the performers are people 40-50 years old who have special skills. For example, most representatives of this group work in the categories “Repair and installation household appliances", "Minor household repairs".
The monthly income of active performers is 30-40 thousand rubles when working 5-6 hours a day.
In addition to basic income, many people think about additional income. Depending on their skills and knowledge they are looking for suitable options. Some people start translating from foreign languages, others look for themselves in writing articles and become copywriters, others own tools and offer their services in the field of repairs, others master makeup or manicure techniques and strive to make all the girls they want even more beautiful, others advertise their virtuoso skills computer programs. All these people can be united by one profession - freelancer.

There is a wide variety of categories of work, including both remote orders and those requiring personal presence: delivery of goods by courier on foot or by car, solving everyday problems with cleaning, installing or repairing equipment, computer and legal assistance, services of tutors, designers or builders, and so on. in a similar spirit.
Customers
The customer can be an individual or legal entity. The principle is simple: register on the site, top up your balance, create an order, select a contractor. To avoid controversial situations on the YouDo website in Moscow and other cities, you should familiarize yourself with the rules of the service.
You need to nail a shelf, create a three-dimensional model on a computer, deliver flowers to a girl at night - you create a task and choose a suitable performer.
Advantages and disadvantages
You, the customer, set the price for the work performed at your own discretion. That is, you can find a performer for more low price what the professional market offers.
Also good advantage there will be a multidisciplinary bias of the Yudu site. In Moscow and other large cities, time matters a lot. Therefore, there are always a lot of unresolved matters. It is convenient to place requests in one place with one click.
There are also disadvantages to such a service. For private orders, all responsibility for the quality of the work performed lies with the contractor. The customer does not receive a receipt or guarantee for services performed. Therefore, only the conscientiousness and responsibility of the performer will help you get what you need.

There is an opportunity to become a proven performer. It appears after confirmation of your passport and driver’s license or SNILS. The site owners promise to nominate your candidacy higher in the list of applications.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantage of "Yudu" in Moscow and other cities is the prompt receipt cash. Simply put, once the work is done, you can spend your earnings.
Money is reserved in a special account for the safety of transactions. Therefore, you can rest assured that you will receive funds after work. The contractor is also insured that his task will be completed. Otherwise, everything will return to the customer.
You can look for part-time work in several directions at once. An excellent option for those who know how to assemble cabinets and can transport loads by car. This service attracts with its versatility.
If previously the site took its commission for the work performed as a percentage of what was earned, now, to the great regret of the performers, the applications themselves have become paid. And now the dilemma: if you want to earn money, first spend money. As a small lifeline, the service offers to leave requests for free for the first day. You'll have to give it your all in these 24 hours.
Innovations
In addition to ordinary people, ordering works on youdo.ru has become possible for legal entities. That is, the service decided to become an intermediary for individual entrepreneurs and organizations. In this case, everything is quite formal and strict. All documents confirming the status of the company are required. Agree, quite comfortable and modern. There is no need to search, scour dozens or hundreds of sites until you find the right price tag. In this case, the service has a huge plus for its advancedness.
The second change that was introduced was the submission of paid applications from performers. That is, a task has been created, and everyone can leave a request, but it will cost money. It doesn’t matter how many performers sign up, everyone pays, and only one person gets the job. This will be an advantage for customers, since possible unreliable contractors will be eliminated. But those who decided to make money on Yuda in Moscow or any other city will no longer rush so zealously into battle for orders. Such a change causes quite contradictory feelings. Most likely, unemployed students and everyone with an empty wallet will simply retire. Although the service was created for making money.
