A small residential property owner in North Brooklyn needs help keeping four buildings tidy — 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.
This is independent contractor work, paid $75 per visit via Check or Zelle.
You'll need to be able to carry a water bucket and trash bags up a few flights of stairs, and it helps if you're already based near this part of Brooklyn.

A Manhattan-based delivery outfit is hiring bike messengers for the early shift, mostly covering Manhattan with the occasional run out to other boroughs.
The big thing here: you have to be ready to roll at 8:00 AM sharp, Monday through Friday. If an 8am start doesn't work for you, this isn't the right fit — they're firm on that.
Main shift is 8am-12pm, and you can keep going past noon on busier days if you want to earn more (workload varies day to day). Pay is per delivery — based on distance and how heavy the package is, so faster, savvy riders can do well.
They're looking for fast bikers who know the city streets and show up on time, every time.

A North Brooklyn business does recurring finishing and alteration work on vintage clothing and is looking for someone with strong technical sewing skills, especially around silk, silk chiffon, crepe, satin, and other delicate lightweight fabrics.

• Industrial serger/overlock skills, including a narrow, clean rolled-overlock finish
• Industrial single-needle experience
• A careful hand around existing seams, zippers, facings, and delicate construction
• A solid feel for tension, stitch length, differential feed, and the right thread for lightweight silks
• Sample-room, garment production, alteration, or professional dressmaking background is a plus
• Your own professional sewing equipment
This is recurring batch work — usually 10 to 30 garments per round, no fittings or customer meetings involved. They start new sewers with paid test pieces before handing over bigger batches. Pay is a competitive per-piece rate that scales with the complexity of the work.
They'd prefer someone based in the NYC area.
If interested, reply with a quick rundown of your sewing background, what machines/equipment you work with, your availability, and photos or examples of past work if you've got them.
A company launching a new snack product is looking for an outgoing, high-energy person to approach people on busy NYC streets and get them chatting on camera for social content (TikTok and similar platforms).
You'd be working from a rough script, engaging people in a fun, friendly way, handing out product samples from a cart, and getting quick on-camera permission before anything gets posted online.
This is a good fit for someone comfortable being filmed and approaching strangers — a college student looking for extra income could be a great fit, but really anyone with the right energy works.
Pay is $35/hour with 20 guaranteed hours per week, flexible scheduling as long as it lines up with busy foot-traffic times. It's set up as an independent contractor / freelance gig. The first week runs as a paid trial before they decide on anything longer-term.
To apply, send your name, email, phone number, what part of the city you're based in, and a short 30-60 second video introducing yourself.
Please only apply if you're seriously looking for ongoing work.
A silent disco headphone rental company operating around Manhattan and Brooklyn is looking for someone organized and reliable to handle equipment logistics as a backup coordinator — a good side gig if you already work from home and want to add some extra income.
The role: coordinate pickup and return of the rental headphones, keep them charged and well-maintained between events, occasionally handle deliveries and pickups to/from clients, keep the inventory organized and stored safely, and respond quickly to text messages for scheduling.
You'll need space at home to store between 100-200 headphones (about 3-5 stackable bins, roughly 7-12 cubic feet total — not huge, but you do need the room), plus reliable transportation for the occasional delivery run.
Pay is structured as 20% commission on all headphone rentals, plus full payment for any deliveries you handle — the poster estimates this typically works out to around $35-50/hour depending on how much time you put in.
When you reply, include your zip code and let them know if you currently work from home.
A school in Brooklyn is setting up a new building and has a big batch of new furniture that needs assembling — desks, cabinets, shelving units, tables, that kind of flat-pack/IKEA-style stuff.

Pay is $25-30/hour depending on your skill level and efficiency.
Email only if interested — include your name, relevant experience, your availability, and request code FLATBUSHFURNITUREBUILD.
Someone moving out of their Upper East Side apartment needs three people to help finish packing and load a truck this Sunday, August 16, starting around 3:00 PM. Plan for about 4 hours of work.
Most of the apartment is already organized, but there's still kitchen stuff, clothes, books, lamps, small boxes, and a few furniture pieces (dresser, mattress) that need to be packed up and carried out. Boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and markers will all be provided.
The job is basically: help pack what's left, tape and label boxes, carry everything down to the truck, and load/stack it carefully so nothing shifts in transit.
Wear clothes and shoes you don't mind carrying boxes and furniture in. Moving, delivery, warehouse, or furniture experience helps but isn't required — just need to be reliable and okay with lifting.

Hosting a small family party at my place in the Bronx this Thursday, August 13, and could use an extra pair of hands.

During the party, you'd help keep the food and drink area stocked and tidy, clear empty cups and plates, and take out trash as needed. Afterward, help with clearing tables, storing leftovers, packing up decorations, and a basic cleanup of the kitchen and party area.

A band's playing a 30-40 min set this Wednesday night (Aug 12) at a spot in downtown Manhattan, and I want good footage of it — just a clean, well-shot document of the performance, nothing fancy.

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 — think a busted Polaroid machine gone rogue.
No modeling experience needed. Honestly the more unique your look and vibe, the better — we're after real faces, not headshot-perfect ones. Come as you are.

- Open to a few rounds of revisions and back-and-forth

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 — 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.
Let me know your experience and your availability for a weekly session.

Small precision machining job in South Brooklyn: 15 pieces of a small stainless steel part need a very fine cut around the cylinder to make it slightly rounder — about 0.1 to 0.2mm needs to come off a 61.95mm diameter surface. It's a touch-up cut, not a major rework.

A 7-part mini-series is being filmed during New York Fashion Week and needs an editor who can turn around a finished episode every single day.
The ask: one 90-second episode delivered every 24 hours, for the full run September 10 through 17. Work can be done remotely. Style-wise, think reality-show storytelling with real cliffhangers — a blend of glossy fashion-world drama and behind-the-scenes journalism.
What you'll need:
• Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro
• Experience with documentary or reality-style editing
• Strong instincts for music and pacing
• Comfort with motion graphics and subtitles
• The ability to hit a daily deadline without fail
To apply, send a demo reel, any episodic or documentary work you've done, and your flat rate for the week. It's a low-budget, fast-moving, fun project — good fit for someone who thrives under a tight turnaround.
A one-day workshop in Central Brooklyn needs someone experienced in sneaker customization to lead the session — not to do the customizing yourself, but to teach and guide a group of around 40 people (kids and parents together) through customizing their own pairs.
You'd advise on what supplies and materials to have on hand and walk the group through the process, sneaker-teacher style. The shoes being customized are simple canvas styles (think classic canvas high-tops).
This is a single date: Friday, August 21, for about 3 hours.
To apply, share samples of your customization work — this needs to be a website or social media page, not individual photos sent directly. If this session goes well, there's the possibility of more like it down the line.
Pay will be discussed with whoever's selected.

An independent filmmaker is putting together a series of outdoor, celebrity-style portrait and lifestyle images — natural light, real locations, strong personality-driven shots — and is looking for a photographer to collaborate with.
To be upfront: this is a no-budget creative project, not a commercial-rate gig. It pays $50 cash for about 2 hours of shooting, in a relaxed, easygoing environment. Location is flexible and can work around Brooklyn, Manhattan, or Queens.
If standard commercial rates are what you're after, no hard feelings if this isn't for you. But if you enjoy fun, low-key creative collaborations, they'd love to hear from you.

Need one person — any gender — for a short improv-style scene being filmed for a social media project in Manhattan this week.
It's quick: about 5 minutes of actual camera time, maybe 15 minutes total once you're on set. $50 cash, paid the same day. Exact time and location get shared once you're picked, but it'll be filmed in Manhattan sometime this week.
One thing that matters a lot here: this needs to stay low-key. Please don't post about it anywhere — before or after — until you're told it's fine to. That part isn't negotiable.
There's a real chance this becomes a recurring thing (same character, more paid appearances) if the scene lands well.
No experience needed — the right energy matters way more than a résumé. To apply, reply to this post with your Instagram handle (or however you'd like to be reached) and a bit about yourself, and we'll follow up fast.

A catering and events company based in the Chelsea area is expanding its freelance culinary team and looking for skilled sushi chefs for high-end corporate events, private parties, and brand activations around the city.
You'll be preparing sushi, sashimi, nigiri, hand rolls, and specialty rolls with an eye for clean presentation, plus helping with event setup, service, and breakdown as needed. This is flexible, gig-based freelance work — good for chefs who want to pick up extra events on their own schedule.

🏷️ Category: Event & Social Companions
A family in Westchester County needs a live-in companion for the month of September to look after an elderly relative while they travel.
You'd move into a guest room for the month (free room and board included, plus salary) and help with daily things — driving him to church and outings, light cooking, medication reminders, and checking in with the family on how he's doing each day. There's a housekeeper who comes weekly, so cleaning isn't part of this. A car and gas are provided for the driving portion.
This is a great fit for a student, recent grad, or working professional with some flexible time, and Certified Home Health Aides are welcome to apply too. Non-smokers only, and you'll need a clean driving record. If September goes well, there's potential for this to continue on and off afterward.
To apply, share a bit about yourself, your current situation, where you're based, and why this would be a good fit for you. Be ready to provide a couple of references if things move forward.
A singer-songwriter based in Staten Island is putting together a band for an original project that'll also cover a few well-chosen songs, and is looking for a drummer and a keyboard player. Singing ability is a nice bonus if you've got it, but not required.

If you're interested, reach out and ask for a sample of the material to check it out first.

Reply here or send a message with your experience and availability.
An award-winning hospitality company known for its Michelin-recognized restaurants is hiring hourly team members for a major 3-week sports and hospitality activation in Central Queens, running August 23 through September 13.
You'd be working food and hospitality service across multiple stalls at the event. No experience is required — full on-site training is provided for eager candidates.
Pay is $20/hour. This is seasonal and event-based, so you need to be available nights, weekends, and extended hours during that window, and be willing to go through the venue's standard security and credentialing process.
If interested, reply with your availability across those dates and a bit about your background.
An independent filmmaker with some press-recognized work under their belt is looking for a photographer for a low-budget, 2-hour outdoor portrait/lifestyle shoot somewhere in Brooklyn — natural light, guerrilla style, moving between a couple of spots during the session.
Heads up that this is a no-budget passion project, not a paid-at-commercial-rates gig, so it's best suited to someone who enjoys collaborating on interesting creative work over chasing a big paycheck.
Pay is a flat $50 cash for the two hours.
If you're into it, send your portfolio or Instagram, your general location, and your availability.
An indie documentary artist is putting together a project shot on the streets of Manhattan or Brooklyn (exact spot still being finalized) and needs an outgoing helper to join for one shoot day.
Your job: walk up to strangers, explain the project in a few friendly sentences, and ask some off-the-cuff questions on camera while the artist handles the filming. This is much more about being comfortable talking to people than any technical film skill — total beginners welcome if you're naturally chatty and curious.
The shoot runs about 4-5 hours, pays $250, and there's a good chance of more paid days if it's a good fit.
To apply, send a short video of yourself talking about who you are and why this sounds fun — no formal resume needed.

Pay is $17/hour, paid in cash at the end of each shift, and all cleaning supplies are provided on site.
Schedule is flexible around your availability, but they can use people right away.
To apply, reply with your availability, your name, your cleaning experience, a phone number, and which specific neighborhood you'd be coming from.
A working photographer needs an extra pair of hands for shoots around Midtown East Manhattan, booked project by project — 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 — 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 — shoots get scheduled on short notice sometimes.

A production is looking for people with a Mexican Spanish accent to record voice samples for an AI voice project. This pays $6,300.
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 — 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. The actual session happens in the Flatiron area of Manhattan on a date in August — plan to hold the whole day open for scheduling, though the recording itself is about a half day.
If this sounds like a fit, reach out to set up your audition.

A working barber in Southern Westchester who owns their own shop wants to level up one specific skill: cutting hair that's straight but has a coarser, more textured pattern. Rather than a class, they're looking for a one-on-one arrangement with someone who already does this well and doesn't mind teaching.
Pay is negotiable and open to discussion, and they're hoping to get started right away.
If that's a skill you have and you're up for teaching it privately, reach out with your rate and when you're free.
Hey there — I'm putting together a 6-episode comedy web series made for phone-first viewing (think quick clips, not a full-length show), and I need a New York City-based writer to help turn some rough ideas into real scripts.
Each episode runs about 1-2 minutes, so the writing needs to hook people fast, move quickly, and end on something that makes them want to tap the next one. The humor should feel like real NYC — jokes, situations, and references a local would immediately recognize.
To be considered, please send:
• A few writing samples (scripts, scenes, produced videos — anything showing comedy or short-form storytelling)
• Your portfolio or resume
• Your rate/quote for the project
• The best way to reach you

The work will include preparing a selection of fun sides and desserts, arranging the food stations, keeping everything organized and replenished throughout the event, and helping with cleanup afterward.
Food preparation will take place on September 5, either at the event location or offsite, depending on what works best for you. You must be available for both the prep day and the event on September 6.

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 — 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 — naturally long lashes needed for this one. $50 toward materials.
2. Brow lamination, shaping and tint — $70.
3. Mega volume lash set, full doll-eye style — 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 — without one there will not be a reply. Spots fill quickly.
We're casting women 21+ for an independently produced reality/digital project filming in NYC in mid-to-late August, and we want people who are unmistakably themselves — loud, funny, a little chaotic, whatever your version of a big personality looks like.
Zero acting or reality TV experience needed. We're after real people, not performers.
The gig: roughly a 2.5-day weekend, filmed mostly at a house in NYC plus some scheduled activities around the city. All meals covered during production. You'll need to be comfortable on camera throughout.
It's paid — exact compensation and logistics get discussed once we're talking. To apply, email this post with your first name, age, borough/city, a bit about yourself, your general availability, and if you're open to it, your Instagram/TikTok or a couple of recent photos (not required, just helpful) — include code NYCREALITYCASTING so we know which listing you mean.
Working a trade show at the Javits Center and need an extra pair of hands to keep the booth looking sharp and organized. Nothing complicated — good memory, follows directions well. Fashion background is a plus but not required. Good option for a student looking for a summer gig.
Two days: Sunday Aug 2 and Monday Aug 3, both 9:30am–4:30pm.
$120 cash, paid at the end of each day. If you're free both days and interested, reply with your availability and a bit about yourself.
We're putting together a beauty content shoot in Midtown East and looking for a handful of models to work alongside beauty students as they build out their portfolios — think makeup, skincare, and hair content shot for short video and photo.
It's a relaxed, guided environment with real beauty educators on hand, so no experience is necessary, though it's a nice bonus if you've modeled, acted, or created content before. What matters more: you photograph and video well, you're at ease in front of a camera, your skin's in good shape, and you're up for getting pampered with professional hair and makeup.
Sessions run about 4 hours on either Monday 8/3 or Tuesday 8/4, 12–4pm, in Midtown East. Everyone who books gets a $100 stipend, paid same-day via Zelle. Open to all genders.
Want in? Send us:
1. Your Instagram handle
2. 3–5 recent photos in natural light (no filters, please)
3. Any modeling, acting, or content experience you have
4. Which day works for you
💵 Compensation: Per service call, based on scope — you state your rate

A residential appliance-repair company is expanding its network of independent technicians for service calls across Brooklyn, Queens, and the surrounding NYC area.
The work covers refrigerators (non-sealed-system), washers/dryers, dishwashers, ovens/ranges/cooktops, microwaves, and other major household appliances — techs experienced with one or more of these are welcome.
What's needed:
• Diagnostic and repair experience with residential appliances
• Your own tools and a way to get to jobs
• General Liability insurance (able to provide a COI)
• Ability to document jobs with diagnostic reports and photos
• Professional, reliable communication
No LLC required — sole proprietors and independent techs are fine. EPA 608 certification isn't needed unless a job involves the refrigerant circuit.
This is subcontractor work — calls come based on your location, experience, and availability, with no guaranteed minimum volume.
Interested? Email this post (subject line: APPLIANCETECHBK) with your name, the areas you cover, years of experience, which appliances you typically work on, your GL/COI status, EPA 608 status if relevant, languages spoken, and your typical diagnostic/service call rate.
