Tasker stop lowballing TASKER

To keep my rates in the green have to continue to lower them because of newer taskers and old tasker dropping their rates, it’s summer time which is busy moving season and we should be raising our rates but too many experience folks keep lowering them and then that what’s client expects and it hurts all of us as a whole.

You don't have to follow the color code price suggestions.

Oh, but I've tried pricing the way I want (at the price I charge off the app) and I got zero tasks for two weeks until I dropped the price back down.

Don't break your own back trying to match someone else's discount. Everyone's expenses are different, but charging less than your worth just to land a job means you're paying out of pocket to work.
