A small residential property owner in North Brooklyn needs help keeping four buildings tidy β nothing heavy, just regular light upkeep.
Each visit covers: sweeping and mopping two hallways (no more than 3 flights each), sweeping the front of two other nearby buildings, clearing leaves/weeds/trash from all four sidewalks and common areas, and occasionally a quick sweep of a basement or boiler room.
The buildings are all within a few blocks of each other, so you'd walk between them if you don't drive. Visits run about 2-3 hours depending on your pace, scheduled during weekday work hours, roughly once or twice a month.

A staffing company needs a few extra hands for a run of concert nights at a Downtown Brooklyn arena, helping guests check phones in and out at the entrance.

Working on a lighthearted staged street performance in Manhattan and need a small group willing to play paparazzi for about an hour.
Here's the idea: one person walks through a few public spots around the city, and a group of "photographers" trails behind snapping pictures, calling out, and hyping up the moment like they've just spotted someone famous. Think red-carpet energy, but on a regular sidewalk. It's all in good fun and totally consensual β nobody outside the group is bothered, no blocking sidewalks, no trespassing.
What you'd actually be doing:
- Following along through a set walking route
- Taking a ton of photos and acting genuinely excited
- Playing along with the "spotted a celebrity" bit
- Moving as a group and taking simple direction on timing
You don't need to be a professional photographer β a good phone camera works, though a real camera (DSLR, mirrorless, anything with a flash) is a nice bonus, so mention it when you reach out. What matters more is energy and being able to commit to the bit without breaking character.
Looking for people who are 18 or older, comfortable being out and about in public, reliable, and up for walking around the city for about an hour while staying in the spirit of it.
This works well if you want to bring a friend or two β a small crowd sells the effect better than one or two people.
Planned for late August. Pay is $20/hour per person, half up front and half when we wrap.
Reply with a bit about yourself and whether you'd be coming solo or with others.

They want people who already know what they're doing β this is not a training role, so you should be comfortable and proficient going in.

A production team putting together a runway show during New York Fashion Week is looking to add a makeup artist to their glam squad backstage.
This is a trade gig, not a paid one β in exchange for your time you'll walk away with a large batch of professionally shot, high-res photos of your work on the runway, full video footage of the show, and an on-air credit as MUA when the show airs on TV. It's a solid way to build your portfolio and make some industry connections.
You should be comfortable working with all skin tones and able to keep up in a fast-moving backstage environment β there won't be much downtime once the show starts.
The show itself is set for the 2nd week of September (Sept 10).
Because they're getting a lot of interest, please reply with a link to your social media/portfolio, a few photos of recent work, and a phone number so their creative director can give you a call.

A small group is starting a new YouTube channel built around everyday creative work β think a mix of behind-the-scenes content, project features, and spotlighting other local makers and artists, loosely similar in spirit to a test-kitchen style show but for arts and crafts.
Looking to bring on a few people to help build this from scratch β mainly videographers, editors, and creative directors, ideally people who also make things themselves (any kind of art or craft work) and are comfortable being on camera as well as behind it.
Funding is limited right now, so to start it's a flat $200/week for roughly 10-15 hours of work while things get off the ground, moving to a profit-share / ownership structure once the channel is generating income. Early team members will have real input on where the channel goes creatively and who else joins.
If interested, send over examples of your creative and professional work, plus a resume and a short note about why this appeals to you.

The event is set for the 2nd week of September (Sept 10) in the city.
If you're interested, reply with the name of your media outlet or platform and a link to your website so they can consider you for a pass.

The setup is a mix of old analog cameras, vintage TV monitors (you'll hold a small TV as a prop for short stretches), looping video, and a modified analog printer that spits out instant prints on the spot β think a busted Polaroid machine gone rogue.
No modeling experience needed. Honestly the more unique your look and vibe, the better β we're after real faces, not headshot-perfect ones. Come as you are.

Small independent womenswear brand is looking for a freelance patternmaker to help develop and refine patterns for three pieces in an upcoming knit collection.
Rough patterns and sample garments already exist β this is about taking them further: dialing in fit and construction, and working through a specific technical convertible feature built into each piece.
What matters most:
- Real experience with knit fabric construction specifically
- Comfortable working from existing samples/rough patterns rather than starting from zero
- Open to a few rounds of revisions and back-and-forth
- Good communication throughout
This can be done remotely (files exchanged digitally), so it's open to patternmakers anywhere, including NYC. Rate is negotiable based on experience β please share yours when you reach out, along with a quick intro and a couple of knit womenswear pieces you've worked on before.
Getting married Wednesday morning in downtown Brooklyn and could really use a photographer to capture it.
It's a tiny wedding β just the two of us and two friends. No big production, no full package needed. I just want someone with a good eye and a real camera who can take natural, well-composed shots.
The building we're using is mid-renovation right now, which actually gives it this strange, very Brooklyn character. I'd love someone who can lean into that instead of fighting it.
What I need:
- A professional DSLR or mirrorless camera (not a phone)
- Candid/documentary-style coverage plus a handful of posed portraits after
- Availability Wednesday morning starting around 9am
- About 1-2 hours total
Pay is $100/hr. Reply with a portfolio or sample photos, your rate, and confirmation you're free Wednesday morning.
My kids were playing around earlier and ended up breaking one of our windows by accident. I don't have the tools or know-how to deal with it safely myself.
Looks like it's just one residential window, though I'm not 100% sure if it's only the glass pane or if the sash needs work too. Figured someone with real window/glass repair experience could size it up and probably knock it out in 30 minutes to an hour.
I'm offering $100 for the labor, and if extra materials are needed we'll confirm that cost together before you start.
Would love to get this handled today if possible β let me know if you can come take a look.

Each visit would run 2-3 hours, and there's flexibility on timing: any Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday between 8:30 AM and 3:30 PM works. Tasks are standard cleaning β kitchen, bathrooms, vacuuming, mopping, and dusting. Cleaning supplies are already provided. There's a friendly cat in the home, for anyone who'd want a heads-up.

I'm a face painter looking to level up my skills and I'd love to find someone who can coach me one-on-one, about an hour a week.
I already have decent basics down but want help nailing specific designs β right now I'm stuck on getting a rose right, but I've got a list of other designs I'd like to learn too. I'll bring the designs and supply all the paint.
The big thing I'm looking for: someone who lets me actually practice during our time together, rather than spending the whole session demonstrating. I want hands-on coaching, not just a demo.
Pay is $50 for the hour. If you're an experienced face painter who enjoys teaching and can be patient with a student figuring it out in real time, I'd love to hear from you.

A small NYC startup is looking for one dependable person, part-time, to help build out their video content β founder interviews, promo clips, event recap videos, and short-form pieces for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn.
You'd own each project start to finish: plan the shoot, run the camera, and edit the final piece. This is a good fit for a film student, recent grad, or early-career freelancer who wants steady, paid, portfolio-building work with one regular client instead of chasing one-off gigs.
What the work involves:
β’ Planning and running small NYC shoots β interviews, talking-heads, B-roll, the occasional event
β’ Shooting on a mirrorless or DSLR camera, basic 2-3 point lighting, clean lav/shotgun audio
β’ Directing people who are nervous on camera so they give natural, relaxed takes
β’ Editing in Premiere Pro with tight pacing, speed ramps, and rhythm-driven cuts
β’ Building motion graphics in After Effects β animated captions, kinetic type, transitions, logo animation
β’ Sound design, music sync, color correction, and exporting for vertical, square, and horizontal formats β roughly 2-4 finished pieces a week
What they're looking for:
β’ Strong Premiere Pro AND After Effects skills β a reel with real motion graphics and creative editing, not just clean cuts
β’ Confidence both behind the camera and in the timeline
β’ An understanding of pacing, hooks, and retention for short-form social
β’ Reliable, organized, and good at hitting deadlines
β’ Owning your own camera, audio, and lighting kit is a big plus
Pay and schedule: $17-20/hr depending on experience, 10-15 hours/week minimum, flexible around a class schedule. A guaranteed monthly retainer up to $1,000 is available for anyone who can commit to consistent weekly hours. This is freelance (1099) work with a written agreement.
You must already be authorized to work in the US β they're not able to sponsor a visa.
To apply, reply with a couple of links to work you personally shot and edited (any platform is fine) β lead with your most dynamic piece. NYC-based only, please, and no agencies.

Small painting job in North Brooklyn: one room, about 15 by 11 feet, just needs a fresh coat of white on the walls. Trim and doors are already fine and don't need touching.

Looking for female vocalists for paid recording sessions in Central Brooklyn β audio and video now, with the possibility of live shows down the road.
Open to a range of styles: gospel, classical, bel canto, blues, R&B, rock, dance, or Broadway. You don't need to already have all of these down, but you should be able to perform or quickly pick up at least one.
The focus is on catchy, well-crafted songs β strong musical value that could also work commercially.

To apply, send your full name, phone number, email, a current photo, and one sentence on why you'd be a strong fit for this.
A kitchen in a high-security Lower Manhattan building needs a reliable assistant to help with food prep, cleaning, and general kitchen upkeep alongside the chef. This is temporary/part-time, on-call work β hours vary week to week depending on coverage needed, averaging somewhere around 15 to 35 hours.
Pay is $25/hour on the books (W2), paid weekly on Fridays, with a 5-hour minimum on any day you're called in, and time-and-a-half if you go over 40 hours in a week.
A few must-haves because of the building's security: you need to be authorized to work in the U.S., have a valid, unexpired photo ID with you on-site at all times, and be willing to go through a background check every 6 to 12 months if the assignment runs that long. You'll also need to speak Spanish and have some prior experience prepping food and assisting a chef in a working kitchen.
If that fits, send a resume with relevant kitchen experience.

A hardware store in East Brooklyn is getting a full retail reset done and needs a reliable overnight worker for about two weeks, starting the night of Sunday, August 2.
The work is mostly moving product to new spots on the floor β there's some heavy lifting involved, but most of it is pretty easy once you get going. Fast learners who work well with others do best here. This is indoor, overnight work, and it's a zero-tolerance site for drug use β anyone found using will be sent home without pay.
Pay is $18/hour with a paid 45-minute lunch. Previous experience with retail resets is a real plus but not required.
To apply, email your name, age, and a bit of work history, with request code EBKRETAILRESET. Replies may take a bit since the hiring manager works overnight too.

Pays $20 (open to reasonable offers).
Ideally you're already close by so this is a quick errand and not a special trip. Let me know roughly where you live and which day works for you, and I'll send the exact spot.

An art-rock band based in southern Westchester (though most of the actual playing happens in the city) needs an organized, music-minded person to help manage a busy fall β radio promo, a run of shows, more singles coming out.
What you'd be doing:
- Putting together and mailing radio promo packages, keeping a clean, accurate mailing list (a wrong address means a wasted package, so detail matters)
- Reaching out to venues and other bands to help line up fall shows, basically acting as booking coordinator in those conversations
- Bonus: chipping in on social media/content ideas
Good fit if you're genuinely organized, have some real interest in music or visual art, and can write a clear, professional email. Living in or near Westchester is a plus since there'll be occasional in-person work sessions, but most of this is remote.
About 10 hours a week, $20/hour, flexible schedule, starting now.
To apply, send two things: a short sample email pitching a made-up band to a venue (show us your pitch-writing style), and a quick 1-2 minute video introducing yourself (any unlisted link works β YouTube, Drive, Loom). A resume isn't needed for this one.
π·οΈ Category: Brand Ambassadors Β· Flyer Distribution Β· Event Staff
A New York cannabis brand building its name the old-school way β face to face, out on the street β is hiring street team members to get out there and get people's attention, all around Manhattan and beyond.
No two days look alike. One day you're handing out flyers outside a venue, next you're running a table at a farmers market, striking up conversations in a park, flyering cars in a mall lot, or jumping into a man-on-the-street video or pop-up performance. The brand is in experiment mode, trying a bunch of approaches to see what actually gets people to pay attention β and if you find an angle that works, they'll run with your idea.
Who does well here: a genuine people person, bubbly and magnetic, who can strike up a conversation with a stranger and enjoy it. Someone self-starting and reliable, since you'll often be out in the field without a manager nearby. Thick-skinned and upbeat helps too β street marketing means plenty of "no thanks" before a yes. Being on camera or part of a live bit should sound fun, not scary.
Requirements: 21+ (cannabis industry rule), able to work full-time, mostly daytime with some evenings/weekends for events, comfortable being outside and on your feet all day. Having your own transportation is a nice bonus but not a dealbreaker.
Pay is $150-250 a day depending on the activity and hours.
To apply, send a short note about yourself β no formal resume needed, just tell them why strangers say yes to you. A short video intro will move you to the top of the pile.

Small operation in Midtown South is moving warehouses and needs a reliable, detail-oriented person to help with packing and shipping on a contractor basis while things transition.
Day to day, you'd be:
- Packaging products neatly and accurately
- Printing and applying shipping labels
- Getting packages ready to go out
No heavy lifting involved, and this could be a good fit for a high schooler or college student looking for flexible hours. Roughly 10-20 hours a week to start (could grow from there), a few hours at a time, a few days a week.
What matters most: you're dependable, honest, easy to work with, quick to learn, and can be flexible enough to come in on short notice. Being within about 30 minutes of Midtown South is a plus since you'd need to be on-site.
Pay is a biweekly stipend on a contractor basis.
To apply, send your full name, what neighborhood you'd be commuting from, your age, a bit about your background, how to reach you, and your weekly availability (which days/hours work for you). Please skip the one-liners β partial replies won't be considered.
A working photographer needs an extra pair of hands for shoots around Midtown East Manhattan, booked project by project β not a steady 9-to-5, just call when there's a shoot on the books.
What the job actually involves:
- Getting gear to set, setting it up, and breaking it back down when we wrap
- Keeping cases and cables organized so nothing goes missing between jobs
- Helping move props, backdrops, and stands around set
- Keeping the shooting area tidy while we work
No specific software or camera skills needed β this is about being reliable, careful with equipment, and quick on your feet. If you've assisted on any kind of shoot before, that helps, but the main thing is showing up ready to work.
Send a little about your background (a resume is great if you have one) and let me know you're available for occasional weekday and weekend calls β shoots get scheduled on short notice sometimes.

A live interactive comedy show that films around Manhattan's parks and public spaces is looking for someone to run camera on a recurring basis β this isn't a one-off, expect several shoots a week.
The show streams live from spots like Washington Square, Union Square, Central Park, and the Financial District, pulling in passersby to play along in real time. You'd be the person making sure the stream actually works:
- Setting up a simple two-camera rig (a phone for the live stream, plus your own separate camera for backup footage)
- Connecting wireless mics before the host goes live
- Keeping the energy up by waving people over and lining up the next player so there's never a dead moment
- Watching over the gear and a small box of props/prizes during the shoot
You'll need your own iPhone and a real second camera (DSLR, mirrorless, gimbal-phone setup β your call), plus somewhere at home to keep the prop box between shoots.
Pay is $40/hour with a 2-hour minimum guaranteed per shoot. Shoots happen most weekday afternoons, generally sometime in the 2-8pm window, 4 to 5 times a week, so this works best if your schedule is pretty open during the day.
To apply, send a quick note on your streaming/camera background, what gear you'd bring, and which afternoons you're usually free.

- Excellent English, written and spoken

- Wardrobe and art department help

If you want in, email a headshot and self-tape (for acting roles) or your resume and reel (for crew roles), and say clearly which position you're going for in the subject line.

Casting across a few age groups (any gender within each): 18-25, 35-60, and 60-80.
Important to know upfront: this involves your voice being processed and cloned by AI software, and it's a full buyout β meaning there's no end date on how the recording can be used, and no ongoing residual payments after the one-time fee.
You don't need acting experience, but you do need to read a long, non-narrative script clearly and naturally in Spanish. You'll first record a short phone audition.

A YouTube creator is putting together scripted comedy skits in Manhattan and needs someone to run camera for the shoot.
It's a small, simple setup β small cast, nothing complicated β and should take about 3-4 hours total. Pay is $140 flat for the shoot, with the possibility of more paid shoots down the line if it's a good fit.

Looking for female models for a clothing photoshoot in Manhattan, about 1-2 hours. No experience needed (though it's a plus), and if there are accessories you'd like to bring, that's a nice bonus. Pay is $95/hour, and if you want to bring a friend to shoot together, that works too β you'd both get paid for the time.

Looking for adults (any gender, ages 20-50) who speak French with a Quebec/Canadian accent for a paid voice recording session. Fair warning: this project has a real AI component β your voice gets recorded and then cloned by AI software, and it's a one-time buyout with no residual payments and no end date on how the cloned voice may be used afterward.
No acting background needed, but you should be comfortable reading a long, non-narrative script smoothly and clearly in French.
The session takes place on the West Side of Manhattan, on a date still to be confirmed sometime in August β plan to hold the entire day open for scheduling purposes, even though the actual recording is closer to half a day. Before that, you'll be asked to do a short phone audition.
Pay is $6,000 for the one-time buyout.
If the AI/buyout terms work for you, email this post with your availability in August and, if you can, a short voice sample or audition clip. Please include request code CHELSEAFRENCHVO.

I'm close to done with my first feature film but my original sound editor had to step away because of some life stuff. The audio's already got a good base β it's mostly one long conversation in a single room, so there's not a ton of heavy sound-design work left. Just needs cleanup, level-matching, and some ambience mixing before it's ready to premiere.
Heads up that this is self-funded, so the budget's small, but I'll pay something fair for the work. Honestly could be a great project for someone newer to sound editing who wants a real credit.
If you're interested, email this post β reference code BKSOUNDEDITOR β and tell me a bit about your experience with sound editing/mixing and, if you've got one, send a reel or past example.

An experienced lash artist working out of a Manhattan studio is building a summer portfolio and looking for a few models. Read the details first β this is a trade arrangement, not a paid gig.
Three looks are available, each with its own contribution toward materials:
1. Korean lash lift and tint β naturally long lashes needed for this one. $50 toward materials.
2. Brow lamination, shaping and tint β $70.
3. Mega volume lash set, full doll-eye style β a 3-hour appointment for a set that normally runs several hundred dollars. Your natural lashes need to curl upward rather than down so the result photographs well. $100.
In exchange, before and after photos and video will be taken of you, and an honest online review afterwards is appreciated. Refer a friend and you get a discount next time.
Worth knowing before you apply: appointments run 2 to 3 hours depending on the service, so you need to be comfortable sitting still that long. Sensitive eyes or eyes that tear easily can make this uncomfortable. Come with clean brushed hair and a bit of makeup on.
To apply, reply with a clear photo of your face β without one there will not be a reply. Spots fill quickly.

This is remote, project-based contractor work β you won't be posting to your own social accounts, just producing photo/video assets (unboxings, reviews, try-ons, lifestyle content, short-form clips) that clients use across their own websites, ads, and channels.
How it works: you receive creative briefs with the deliverables, deadline, and pay attached, and choose what to accept. You shoot, edit, submit, revise if needed, and get paid β Fridays, for anything approved by Wednesday of that week.
Creators with a background in fashion, beauty, wellness, tech, food & beverage, or lifestyle content are especially wanted.
What they're looking for:
- At least a year of photo/video/content creation experience
- A portfolio (site or PDF) that shows range and storytelling
- Comfort shooting solo and appearing on camera
- Editing chops in Premiere, CapCut, Final Cut, or similar
- Your own camera, lighting, and mic setup
- Strong written/spoken English and reliable communication
Nice to have: experience with UGC-style ads, an eye for TikTok/IG trends, or an existing audience of your own.

We need people who take call times seriously β punctual, dependable, and creatively comfortable working unscripted. The shoot will move between indoor and outdoor locations, including some low-light and nighttime work, so cinematic instincts matter as much as technical skill.
Preferred, not required: your own professional camera package (audio, lighting, gimbal/stabilizer), and if you fly a drone, even better.
Logistics: this is roughly a 2.5-day production weekend, currently projected for mid-to-late August. You'd need to be free and reliable for the full weekend and able to get yourself to and from the NYC location each day. Meals and breaks are covered during production hours.
To be considered, email this post β mention code NYCREALITYCAMERA β with the details below:

The work covers refrigerators (non-sealed-system), washers/dryers, dishwashers, ovens/ranges/cooktops, microwaves, and other major household appliances β techs experienced with one or more of these are welcome.
What's needed:
β’ Diagnostic and repair experience with residential appliances
β’ Your own tools and a way to get to jobs
β’ General Liability insurance (able to provide a COI)
β’ Ability to document jobs with diagnostic reports and photos
β’ Professional, reliable communication

A residential cleaning service is adding a few more two-person teams for ongoing work. This is not a one-off job β it is regular, repeating work for people who show up.
The one thing that is non-negotiable: you need to be able to reach Nassau County. Living in Queens or Brooklyn is fine, but you will need your own car, your own supplies, and the kind of reliability that means arriving on time every single visit.
The arrangement is 1099 contractor work. You give your availability, and jobs that match get sent over. Pay works out to 60% of the job price split between the two of you, which usually lands somewhere between $135 and $240+ per home depending on size, paid on a regular schedule.
What the team needs to have:
- Two people who already work together well
- Experience cleaning homes
- Transportation that reliably gets you out to Nassau County
- Your own equipment and cleaning supplies
- Good timekeeping, thorough work, easy communication
- Willingness to follow a checklist to the same standard every visit
If that describes you and your partner, reply with both names, your cleaning background, which parts of Nassau County you can cover, and your availability.
A West Village pet-sitting service that refers trusted cat sitters to an established client base across the city is looking to add one or two people to that roster, starting as backups.
This only works for someone planning to be in NYC long-term β vetting a sitter properly takes time, so a few months in the city won't cut it. You'd need to be available every single day for both AM and PM visits (no week-on/week-off arrangements), including major holidays and the busiest stretch, which is summer through the winter holidays.
A few things that matter here: patience and genuine warmth with cats (even the difficult ones), being extremely responsible since you're also looking after someone's home, comfort with a lot of walking between visits (subways, stairs, walk-ups included), basic professionalism over email/text, and having another source of income since this role starts slow and builds over time.
Pay starts around $18 for a roughly 30-minute visit (per visit, not per hour), and can grow from there.
If this sounds like a fit, reply with your experience around cats, the neighborhoods you can cover, and your daily availability.

At the end of the night, they'll grab the footage off your device (AirDrop or similar) and you're done. Pay is $100 cash on the spot when you wrap.

They often need extras or staff replacements, so this is a short list of dependable people to call when work comes up. Flexible, as-needed β helpers take what fits their schedule. Typical tasks (no special experience needed): (1) errands and returns; (2) moving and lifting help; (3) flyer distribution and taste tests; (4) walking the owner's two dogs (Midtown); (5) accompanying the owner to networking events; (6) helping set up pop-up shops, events, or promotional activations. Steady, responsible people get prioritized for new work. Exclusions are explicitly invited (e.g. "everything except moving" or "only dog walking" is completely fine). The ad asks repliers to mention the word MIDTOWNHELP.
