Looking for someone who can teach traditional Chinese dance to a total beginner over the next few weeks.

No modeling experience needed. Looking specifically for interesting, natural faces and unique style — street-cast energy, come as you are.

Pay depends on the length and complexity of the assignment; many pieces run around $95 each.
Using AI tools as part of your process is fine, but the final piece still needs to read as original, clear, and well-written — quality matters more than speed here.
If you're interested, email a couple of writing samples and your availability, and include request code BROOKLYNREMOTEWRITER somewhere in your message.

Pay is a flat $45 for the two hours. This is admittedly below standard commercial rates, so if that's not a fit, no hard feelings at all — but if you enjoy relaxed, creative outdoor shoots, get in touch.
Please email a few work samples or a portfolio/Instagram link, your general location, and your availability. Include request code FLATLANDSPORTRAITSHOOT so I know you saw this post.

A boutique NYC school photography company is staffing up for the fall season and hiring for two roles working K-12 portrait days around the city.
Production coordinators help get shoot days set up and running — early-morning travel to school sites, equipment setup and breakdown, and keeping things moving smoothly. A valid driver's license with a clean record is required. Pay starts around $24/hr while training, moving up to $48/hr.
Photographers need real portrait/headshot experience, comfort with professional cameras and lighting, and a genuine love of working with kids — group and volume/school photography experience is a plus. Pay starts around $24/hr while training, up to $55/hr with experience.
Both roles call for flexibility, punctuality, and a positive, team-oriented attitude. Work is busiest in the fall school season, with recurring freelance opportunities after that for the right people, so an open weekday schedule matters.

Looking for an experienced carpenter to swap out an old wall-mounted air conditioner that's built into a window seat, while keeping the original design intact. The existing woodwork was done by a skilled joiner, so this calls for real fine-carpentry experience — clean, careful work, not a quick patch job.
Before starting, I'd like a job bid so there aren't any surprises on cost. References and a resume (or at least a list of recent similar jobs) are required.
This needs to get done soon, ideally before the next stretch of hot weather.

An independent filmmaker is putting together crew for a one-day shoot on a narrative short film (10-15 minutes) filming in the Brooklyn area on October 24.
Looking to fill two spots:
Gaffer — works with the DP to execute the lighting plan, brings/operates lighting gear if you have it, and manages setups efficiently on a small set.
Key Grip — manages grip equipment (stands, flags, diffusion, bounce, negative fill) and supports the DP/gaffer in building and adjusting lighting setups safely.
Both roles need someone comfortable on a low-budget indie set who can work creatively within a tight budget. This is paid work — the exact rate gets worked out with whoever's selected.
If you're interested, email with your name, which role you're going for, relevant experience, your day rate, and what equipment you have access to. A reel, portfolio, or Instagram link is welcome too. Mention code SOUTHBROOKLYNFILMCREW when you write in.

A small team is developing a six-episode comedy miniseries built for social-first platforms — short, fast-paced episodes in the 1-2 minute range — and needs a writer to help shape the scripts.
You should have a real feel for short-form, episodic storytelling: strong opening hooks, quick pacing, characters that click fast, and endings that pull viewers into the next episode. The humor needs to feel genuinely rooted in New York City life — references, rhythms, and situations that read as authentic rather than generic, so real familiarity with the city matters.
To apply, send a few writing samples (scripts, scenes, produced videos, anything that shows comedic or short-form chops), a portfolio or resume, and your project quote.

A small dating/matchmaking startup is looking for one on-camera host to join their small crew — someone with a big, funny personality who makes street interviews genuinely entertaining.
The gig: one shoot day a week around NYC, flexible scheduling, a few hours each time.

The work is a mix: organizing resumes and candidate paperwork, general office upkeep, and using AI tools to help with recruiting and market research.

Working on a fun staged social/creative project around New York City on August 30 and need a small group of people to act as paparazzi photographers.

- Acting excited like you just spotted someone famous
- Calling out and trying to get my attention, paparazzi-style

Who I'm looking for:
- 18+
- Comfortable being out in public and a little loud about it
- Energetic, outgoing, good at taking direction
- Able to walk around the city for about an hour
- Up for really committing to the bit and making it look convincing
Friends or existing groups are welcome — I'd actually love to hire a few people at once so it looks like a real crowd.

Pay is $19 per hour, per person, half up front and half at the end.
If you're interested, email with your availability for August 30, whether you have a camera worth mentioning, and request code MIDTOWNPAPARAZZIPROJECT.

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.

A small production team is putting together a one-night music video shoot in Manhattan and still needs a lighting person on the crew.

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.
Here's the concept: the venue wants people fully present at the show instead of filming or scrolling through it, so guests hand over their phones at the door for the night and pick them back up on the way out — that's the process you'd be helping run.
Dates: Thursday through Saturday, September 24-26, 2026, roughly 5:00pm-9:00pm each night.
Pay works out to $20 an hour, plus parking or transit gets reimbursed up to $20 with a receipt if it's not free on site (just get the ok first). They also mention possible future event work for people who do well.
Reply if you'd like to work one or more of these nights.

You should be comfortable communicating in English (doesn't need to be fluent, just workable).
Pay is $25-50 per completed service call, and this can start right away.

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.

🏷️ Category: Photography & Content
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 — 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 — 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 — 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're hoping to get someone started today, so if you're free and interested, email your name, your rate, and what time you're available, with request code WESTERNQUEENSHOUSECLEAN.
Paying $75 per visit.
A mural and painting company is building out its as-needed roster and looking for skilled painters who can jump on projects around the city when work comes up.
This isn't a fixed schedule — you'd be called on for jobs as they come in, which can include murals, hand-painted signage, general straight painting, and some lift/scaffold work.
They want people who already know what they're doing — this is not a training role, so you should be comfortable and proficient going in. Being reliable and able to show up when a project comes through matters a lot here. Knowing your way around basic graphic design is a nice bonus but not a dealbreaker.
Pay is $28–$37 per hour depending on experience.
If this sounds like your speed, send over a few photos of past work along with a short note about yourself and your experience — they're reaching out to strong candidates about next steps for joining the roster.

Man in his 50s is looking for a personal trainer to help him lose 10-15 lbs, build strength, and get his nutrition on track.
Looking for someone who can put together a structured, progressive strength program that fits around a normal schedule, plus some cardio guidance and general accountability. Sessions would need to happen somewhere downtown or nearby — he's based in that area but is fine traveling a short train ride if needed.
Budget is around $50 per session.
If interested, reply with your experience, any certifications you hold, your usual training location(s), your rates, and your general schedule.
Looking for someone to teach two kids, ages 10 and 12, how to skate. Could be rollerskating, ice skating, or skateboarding — happy to hear what you teach and go from there.
No specific schedule set yet, so let's talk about what days/times could work for both of us. Pay is negotiable depending on your experience and rate.
If you've taught kids before (skating or otherwise), mention that when you reply, along with your general availability and what kind of skating you teach.
Long-running DJ and event production company (in business 30+ years) is looking for a reliable assistant to help out at events across the city.
The work: help load in and set up speaker/sub/lighting gear and cabling before the event, help out during it, then strike everything and load out afterward. Same gear every time, so once you learn the setup it becomes pretty routine.
What matters most: showing up on time, every time — that's the top priority. You should be comfortable around basic sound gear (know what an XLR cable is, know how to coil one properly), able to carry equipment including up and down stairs, and hold a valid, clean driver's license since you'll need to drive and park their SUV around the city (you don't need your own vehicle).
Pay is $150 per event, paid same-day. Work is booked weeks in advance, so you'd typically know your schedule ahead of time.
This could be a good fit if you've done part-time sound tech, corporate A/V, church sound team, or stagehand work before.
Reply with your sound/event experience and your weekend availability, plus a phone number and email so they can reach you.
Looking for reliable people to help with event setup work — things like balloon displays, catering support, table décor, and flower arranging. This is for both an event today/tomorrow and ongoing future events, so if you're free now or just want to get on the list for upcoming gigs, reach out.
Experience is a plus, but if you're a fast learner and comfortable working in a busy, fast-moving setup environment, training is available.
Pay is $100 (exact structure wasn't specified further — ask when you reply).
Please reply with your availability and any relevant experience you have, if any.
A film student is putting together a short project for school and for their own portfolio, and is looking for people who want to try acting — total beginners welcome.

No specific date has been set yet — just reply if you're interested and open to hearing more about timing and the project itself.
Please include a bit about yourself and any acting experience you have, if any (none needed).

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 — 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 — 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.
💵 Compensation: $200/week to start (~10-15 hrs), transitioning to profit-share

A small group is starting a new YouTube channel built around everyday creative work — 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 — 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.

A fashion show production company is putting together press coverage for a runway event happening during New York Fashion Week, and they're looking for photographers, bloggers, and entertainment journalists to be part of it.
The show will feature designers from outside the US along with a mix of influencers and some celebrity guests, so there should be plenty to shoot and write about.
There's no cash payment for this — instead you'd be credentialed with a press pass to shoot/cover the show, which could be a good opportunity if you're building up press experience or looking for fresh content.
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.

Filming will take place in Manhattan sometime during the week of August 17 — exact day/time to be worked out with participants.
Paid opportunity: $250.
To apply, send your full name, age, a current photo, phone number and email, a few sentences about your connection to 9/11 and what you'd be comfortable sharing on camera, and your availability that week.

A small project management team is looking for a reliable, detail-oriented Administrative Assistant for a hybrid role: mostly flexible remote admin work, plus about one site visit a week around the city.
On-site duties:
• Travel to active project sites to open/lock up for contractors, vendors, and inspectors
• Stay on-site to observe progress and flag any issues in real time
• Take photos/notes documenting conditions

Putting together a paid project built around ballads from the '40s, '50s, and '60s, and need a piano player to be part of it — ideally someone with a jazz background.
You'll be working alongside a vocalist, so experience accompanying singers matters more than reading charts and walking away. This isn't a show-up-and-sight-read gig — there'll be a handful of rehearsals beforehand (not too many, but plan on being available).
Pay is still being finalized, so reach out and we can talk details, your rate, and availability.
A print and signage shop in Midtown Manhattan is looking for a part-time associate to join the team, Monday through Friday, about 5 hours a day.
You'll work directly alongside a full-time team member and get hands-on training across the whole workflow — operating production printers and scanners, assembling and finishing custom signs, professional binding, tracking inventory, handling deliveries, and keeping the shop's recycling and materials organized.
Some prior printing experience is necessary, along with strong attention to detail and reliability. This starts as a temporary role but has real potential to become full-time for the right person.
Pay is $18/hour. To be considered, you'll need to come in person for a short aptitude test covering basic shop scenarios and attention to detail — reply with your resume and we'll set up a time.
An established photographer in Midtown Manhattan is looking for models to pose for a photo study that will be used as reference for character illustration and design work — not for publication.
All levels of experience are welcome, and so is a wide range of looks, ages, and body types. None of the photos will ever be shown publicly or shared — the whole thing stays anonymous.
The session takes no more than two hours and will be handled respectfully and professionally. This is an ongoing project, so scheduling is flexible — could be as soon as this week or the coming weekend.
If you're interested, send a photo of yourself along with your reply so we can get the conversation started.

Hosting a small family party at my place in the Bronx this Thursday, August 13, and could use an extra pair of hands.
The party kicks off around 6:30pm, but I'd need you there by 5:30pm since we'll still be finishing setup — wiping down the kitchen and dining area, moving a few chairs, putting up the folding table, setting out plates, cups, napkins, drinks, and food trays, plus a few balloons and simple decorations.
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.
Nothing fancy or professional required — just someone friendly, dependable, and comfortable pitching in around the house.

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.
Set starts around 8:30pm. If you've got real video gear, great — but if you've got a newer iPhone, a tripod, and know how to get clean audio, that works too.
Pay starts at $50 and goes up depending on your experience and what equipment you bring.
Hit me back with what gear you'd use and your rate.
Working on an experimental shoot at a small music venue in downtown Manhattan and looking for one person to be the subject.
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.
It pays $150 flat and should take about 1.5 hours max. You'll walk away with digital files AND physical prints for your own portfolio.
To be considered, send a portfolio, Instagram, or a couple of unedited recent photos, plus your general availability sometime between August 17 and 23.

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 — 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 — 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 — 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 — let me know if you can come take a look.

I've got a 55" flat screen that needs to be mounted on the wall of my studio apartment, and I need someone who actually knows how to do a TV install — not someone figuring it out as they go.
I'll be around to help however I can during the install, so you won't be doing it totally alone, but I do need you to bring your own tools: stud finder, drill with the right bits, tape measure, level, and so on. I know roughly what the job involves and what tools are needed, so I'll be able to tell pretty quickly if you're the right fit.
Honestly, the pay isn't huge — this is more for someone who's free this Saturday afternoon, doesn't mind making a few extra dollars, and won't be rushing off right after. I'd rather this get done carefully and correctly than fast, so please only reach out if you can take your time and won't have somewhere else to be right after you arrive.

A small production based near Flatiron needs an experienced documentary/reality-style editor for a 7-part episodic project filming in September.
The vibe: reality-style storytelling with cliffhangers, somewhere between a docu-soap and a fashion-journalism piece.
A few questions before you reach out:
- Are you free September 10-16?
- Can you edit remotely?
- Can you turn around one 90-second episode every 24 hours during that window?
- Are you comfortable building cliffhangers into short-form episodic cuts?
You'll need Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut, strong pacing/music instincts, and solid motion graphics and subtitle skills. This is a fun, low-budget, fast-moving project.
To apply, send a demo reel (episodic or documentary work is ideal) along with your weekly flat rate.
Looking for someone to help around the house once every two weeks, about 6 hours each time — could become more frequent, and might eventually include a second home in the Bronx too.
Tasks include things like organizing and folding clothes, straightening out closets and cabinets, decluttering, cleaning the fridge and stove, sweeping and mopping, doing a deep clean on two bathrooms, and tidying bedrooms. You wouldn't need to do everything every visit — just work through the list across the 6 hours as needed.
Pay is $20/hour. Please only reach out if you're genuinely interested in this kind of ongoing home-maintenance work and comfortable with the pay rate.
This job is based in Westchester County — please only apply if that's a reasonable commute for you, since this isn't practical for anyone coming from Brooklyn or Long Island.
A small independent feature film shooting in the Flatiron/Chelsea area this fall is looking to fill one more key crew spot: First AD.
The project is a quiet, character-driven psychological drama — small cast, a handful of locations, and a tight 5-6 day shoot. Think restrained and atmospheric rather than big and flashy, so the right person should be comfortable with a slower, more deliberate pace on set.
This role is best suited to someone currently working as a Key PA or 2nd AD who's ready to take the next step up. For this particular role, the production is looking specifically for a woman, to fit the budget and crew already in place.
Budget is modest, so pay is on the lean side, but the team is committed to doing this project the right way with people who genuinely connect to the material.
If you're interested, please send:
- Your résumé, credits, and reel or website (if you have one)
- Your availability for mid-September

A family in the Mamaroneck/Larchmont area of Westchester is looking for a detail-oriented housekeeper for a recurring cleaning job — about twice a month, for a 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath apartment (roughly 1,300 sq ft).
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 — 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 — 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.

The finished piece needs to be a 5x7 grid of small panels (each about 3.5 x 2 inches), stitched with clean, straight, evenly spaced lines that can hold up to everyday use, not just look good. Material, foam, and thread will be provided — you just need to bring the right equipment and skill.

👥 Applicants: 81
🏷️ Category: Creators / UGC · Photography & Content
A haircare brand is looking for one person who can shoot both photo and video for a product campaign — someone who can handle the whole shoot solo rather than needing separate photo and video crews.
The concept: a model moving through different NYC lifestyle spots, showing off her hair, with the product featured throughout. They're looking for polished, professional ad-quality content — not a casual social-media-style clip.
The shoot will happen somewhere in Manhattan or Brooklyn, with the exact date still being worked out over the next few weeks. Budget is $500-1,000 for the day, depending on experience and scope.
To be considered, you'll need a portfolio — an Instagram or website works — showing beauty, product, or lifestyle content shot to a professional standard.
Reply with a link to your work, your day rate, and your general availability over the next few weeks.

A small, growing decorative plaster and paint studio near the Bushwick/Ridgewood border is looking for a helper who wants to wear a lot of hats and grow with the business.
Day to day this could mean answering emails and calls, putting together invoices and estimates, organizing the studio and supplies, making sample boards of plaster/limewash/paint finishes, snapping photos for social media, or tagging along to help out on a job site around NYC once in a while. Some light Shopify/website upkeep and Instagram posting is part of it too.
No experience required — they care much more about attitude, curiosity, and reliability than a fancy resume. If you're artistic, easygoing, organized, and like learning new things, this could be a good fit.
Schedule starts part-time and flexible, with room to grow into full-time. Pay is base plus commission/incentives, in the $20-22/hour range to start.
To apply, send a short note about yourself, your availability, and anything creative you've made or worked on. A resume is welcome but not needed.

The schedule: cook on Tuesdays and Thursdays, preparing 3 meals a day to cover all 7 days of the week. You'd shop from a grocery list you put together (kept simple and affordable), groceries get delivered to your home, and you cook everything in your own kitchen, then deliver twice a week.

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

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.

• Errands — things that are hard to get to during long work stretches
• Walking a well-trained, sweet 65-lb dog, ideally for an hour on most workdays
• Coordinating groceries and meal prep (a delivery service may be used, but it still needs some coordination)
Basically a bit like a nanny role, but for an adult. Pay is $25-35/hour depending on experience. Hours are flexible and mostly about being available to help with day-to-day life as things come up. Being able to drive is a plus (not required) in case a car occasionally needs to be dropped off for service.
To apply, reply and share a little about your availability and any relevant experience, plus anything about yourself that shows you'd be a good fit for helping out with someone's day-to-day life.

A company that staffs private, upscale poker nights across Manhattan is building out its roster of dealers for ongoing work — this isn't a one-off booking.
The gigs are small, intimate games (up to 7 players) that run 4-5 hours, usually paired with another dealer working in rotation, sometimes alongside a bartender and server. Settings are private residences, corporate offices, and similar upscale spaces, so a calm, professional, low-key presence matters — guests should barely notice you're working.
What's needed:
• At least 2-3 years of dealing experience (casino floor, card room, or private events)
• Comfortable running Texas Hold'em; knowing Omaha or 7 Card Stud is a plus
• Based in or able to reliably get to Manhattan for evening and weekend bookings
• Professional in appearance and demeanor
• Must be 21 or older
• Reliable — on time, prepared, no last-minute cancellations
Pay is $60-70/hour, paid per event, with a typical booking running about 5 hours. Scheduling is mostly evenings and weekends, and dealers who prove reliable get first crack at the best-paying, highest-profile bookings.
To apply, reply with your dealing experience, your availability, and any references from past casino or private-event work. Photos aren't needed.

You don't need to be a professional editor, but you should be comfortable doing basic photo editing, and genuinely into this kind of work rather than just phoning it in.
Pay is $150 for the shoot. Based in Central Brooklyn.
If you're interested, reply with some examples of your past work and your availability.
Someone in Brooklyn is looking for a photographer to take a series of natural, well-composed Instagram-style photos of them — using just an iPhone, no fancy gear needed.
You don't have to be a professional. What matters more is a good eye and a feel for what makes a natural, flattering photo of a person — not posed or stiff, just genuinely good.
The plan is a handful of sessions spread over a few weeks — about 5 to 6 sessions total, roughly 2-3 hours each. Pay is $60/hour.
You'll be judged mostly on your existing photo sense, so when you apply, share something that shows your eye — doesn't have to be your own Instagram, just anything that shows you know how to make a person look good and natural in a photo.
If you're interested, reply to this post with a sample that shows your eye for photos, and let them know your general availability over the next few weeks.
A small team based in Downtown Manhattan needs a videographer to embed with them for three straight days and capture raw, run-and-gun footage for a brand content series.
Dates: Monday August 10, Tuesday August 11, and Wednesday August 12 — 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM each day (30 hours total). Home base is a Downtown Manhattan office, with some movement around the area during the day alongside a team of about 15 people.
What you'd be capturing:
• Day-in-the-life footage following different team members
• Candid, outtake-style, reality-TV-ish moments — the stuff between the polished takes, reactions, asides
• You'll be moving with people all day, so comfort with handheld, on-the-fly shooting matters more than lighting setups
This is capture only — someone else is handling the edit, so you're not being asked to cut anything. Raw files get handed off after the last shoot day.
Bring your own camera, audio, and any stabilization gear you use.
Pay is $500/day.
To apply, send a portfolio or reel (documentary, event, vlog, or brand work all welcome), confirm you can do all three full days, and include your rate if you'd like to quote one. Applications without a portfolio and availability confirmation won't get a response.

A small NYC startup focused on helping people make real connections is hiring 1-2 people to do on-camera street interviews for a video series in the Greenwich Village area.
The job: approach strangers and ask them a single thoughtful question on camera — things like 'how many of your friends did you make after 25?' — then let them talk when they open up. At the end, you'll invite them to check out the project on social media, which is part of the gig.
This footage becomes short social content, so you should be genuinely comfortable and warm on camera, not shy about approaching strangers, and quick on your feet when people say no.
Pay is $20/hour, weekend work.
To apply, reply with 2-3 sentences about yourself and a link to anything that shows you're comfortable on camera (a TikTok, an IG reel, even a phone video). Applications without that won't be considered.

Duties include help with dressing, bathing, using the bathroom, grooming, taking medications, light cooking and housekeeping, laundry, grocery shopping, errands, and accompanying them to occasional social or work events. There's also an administrative side — managing email, reading/writing messages, and general organization — so strong written communication and comfort with a computer (Apple products, Gmail, Word) really matter here.
They work in media/film and are open to sharing some training in that world with the right person, if that interests you.
Must be:
- Comfortable helping with physical transfers (bed/toilet/wheelchair)
- Legally authorized to work in the US (this is an on-the-books job)
- Reliable, patient, and comfortable with a variety of daily tasks
- A strong writer — a writing sample will move your application to the front of the line
Having a driver's license or being open to occasional domestic/international travel is a plus but not required.
Pay is $20/hour, with benefits through the agency. Located in Northwest Queens, easily reached by subway.
If interested, please share your availability and any relevant experience.

A household of four (plus a dog and three rabbits) in Lower Manhattan is looking for a long-term, part-time housekeeper to start right away. About 20 hours a week, any time Monday-Friday between 9am and 6pm — no weekends or holidays.
Regular tasks include general cleaning and tidying (floors, bathrooms, kitchen, dusting, vacuuming, bedrooms), changing sheets and making beds, refilling toiletries, doing laundry (including folding and putting away), and occasional deeper cleaning like baseboards and the fridge.
This role requires real trust and dependability — you'll sometimes be working while family members (including two older kids) are coming and going. All cleaning supplies are provided, and you're welcome to use the kitchen for your own meals while you work, as long as everything's cleaned up after.
Pay is $30/hour (1099), paid twice a month by direct deposit, bank transfer, or check.
If interested, reply with your availability and experience.
A local photographer is putting together a portrait series shot around the city and needs a few people willing to model for it. No experience needed at all — total beginners welcome.

If you're interested, just reply with a headshot so they can get a sense of who you are.
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.
Please send:
- A few samples of your work, a portfolio link, or your Instagram
- Your general location
- Your availability
A community event in Central Brooklyn is putting together a hands-on sneaker customizing workshop for about 40 kids and parents, and we need someone who really knows this craft to run it.
You wouldn't be doing the customizing yourself — instead you'd be teaching and guiding the group through it, telling us what supplies and materials to have on hand, and walking everyone through the process step by step. Think of it like leading a design class.
It's happening on Friday, August 21st, for about 3 hours. The sneakers being customized will be a classic canvas style similar to Chuck Taylors.
If this goes well, there could be more sessions like it down the line.
To apply, please share:
- A link to your work — a website or social page with real examples (individual photos alone won't be considered)
- Any experience teaching or leading groups
- Your availability that Friday in August
Looking for a photographer for a relaxed, candid-style photo session somewhere in Lower Manhattan — think lifestyle shots, not studio headshots. These are for a dating profile, so the goal is natural and true-to-life, not overly posed.
Style I'm hoping for:
- Editorial/street feel with natural daytime light
- A few night shots using direct flash, like an old film-camera party photo look
- Some everyday scenes — grabbing coffee, walking around, maybe a tennis court
- Candid energy, minimal posing
Logistics: about 2 hours, 3-4 nearby locations, 2 outfit changes, ideally a weekend afternoon running into golden hour (flexible on the actual date). You'd deliver 15-20 edited photos within a week.
Please send a portfolio or Instagram that shows off night flash and street-style work, and I'll follow up with anyone whose style feels like a fit.
Looking for a photographer to shoot some fashion and streetwear-style content for my personal social pages. I want that everyday street style look, but with some personality mixed in — not cookie cutter.

This would be based in Central Brooklyn. Pay is $150 for the shoot.
If you're interested, send over:
- A few examples of your fashion/street photography or editing work
- Your availability this month
- Roughly how you'd approach a shoot like this

A creative studio based in North Brooklyn is looking to add a reliable photographer or videographer to their rotation for ongoing paid shoots — think photo sessions, fashion and lifestyle content, Reels and TikToks, music videos, product photography, and behind-the-scenes footage.
This isn't a full-time job — work comes in project by project, based on your availability, and pay is discussed before each gig depending on the scope, your experience, gear, and how much editing is involved. Do well and there's real potential for this to turn into steady, ongoing work.
They're happy to consider entry-level photographers, students, and up-and-coming creatives — you don't need to be a pro, just have a good eye, take direction well, communicate clearly, and show up on time.
To apply, send over:
• Your name and where you're based in the city

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.

Looking for someone who can nail a specific, well-known TV-character voice for a small recording project — about 20 short scripts, each roughly 30 seconds (around 60 words) long.
Here's how it'd work: I'd like to get a quick free sample first from anyone interested, just to find the right fit — no pay for that initial sample, and I won't use anyone's voice unless they're actually hired.

I've been trying to teach myself Articulate Storyline through online videos and it's just not clicking without someone showing me in person — plus the software itself is pricey, so I don't have my own copy yet.
I'm hoping to find someone who already has an Articulate Storyline license and knows their way around building eLearning modules, to walk me through it hands-on and help me put together a portfolio piece.
I'll already have a storyboard ready to go — I want to take a first pass at building it myself, then have you help me clean it up and get it polished.
We'd need to meet somewhere with your laptop and the software already installed — a coffee shop works fine. I'm happy to meet in Brooklyn or Manhattan, whatever's easiest for you.

A private client in Central Brooklyn is looking for a stylist to take on a full wardrobe project — auditing and photographing an existing menswear closet, comparing it against a written style brief (creative, seasonal, strong point of view on fabric and fit), then sourcing pieces and sitting in on try-on sessions with tailoring notes.
This could suit a styling student building out a portfolio or an early-career stylist looking for a defined, real-client project — start to finish, from audit to a finished wardrobe.
Pay is either a flat rate or $30/hour and up depending on experience and scope, with a chance of ongoing seasonal work if it's a good fit.
If you're interested, send a portfolio or Instagram, plus a few sentences on how you'd approach building out a menswear closet for someone with an existing strong aesthetic.
A small business in the Bay Ridge area of Brooklyn is looking for a guitarist to play one song — Don McLean's 'American Pie' — as a surprise for someone's birthday during a community event this Friday, August 7th, sometime between 5 and 6pm.
There's a singer already lined up, so you'd just need to handle the guitar part. It's a short, one-song appearance as part of a bigger birthday surprise.
This is a paid gig — reply with your experience playing the song (or similar acoustic covers) and confirm you're free Friday 8/7 in that window.
A growing Midtown West law office wants to build out its social media presence and is looking for someone confident on camera who speaks Russian and/or Ukrainian to help make short videos — Reels, TikToks, Instagram-style clips.

Pay is strong, with weekly bonuses tied to performance.
To apply, send a few recent photos, any social links you're comfortable sharing, and a short intro of yourself spoken in Russian or Ukrainian.
A local healthcare office in Queens is filming some advertising videos and needs one male and one female actor to portray patients receiving treatment — think the tone of a prescription-drug commercial.
Look: casual-to-professional, neatly put together, comfortable in front of a camera. You'll need to bring two changes of outfit and sign a release allowing the footage to be used in their advertising. Filming is happening this week or next.
Pay is $50/hour with a 2-hour minimum (could run up to 3 hours). They've done shoots like this before and say it's a relaxed, easy set.
To apply, send a few face and body photos along with your availability this week or next.
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.
They're looking for real professional sushi chef experience, strong knife skills, and comfort handling raw fish under pressure. An NYC Food Protection Certificate is a nice-to-have but not required.

A moving company serving Western Connecticut is hiring experienced movers and drivers, with shifts available starting this week.
They want people with at least a year of professional moving experience — you should know how to pad, wrap, and stack a truck properly and safely handle heavy items (up to 75+ lbs repeatedly). Drivers need a valid license, a clean record, and comfort behind the wheel of a 26ft box truck. They're looking for reliable, professional people who show up when scheduled — no last-minute no-shows.
Pay starts at $25+/hour with a $200 daily minimum on scheduled full-day jobs, plus you keep 100% of your tips. Payment is fast — weekly direct deposit.

A small decorative plaster and finishes shop in North Brooklyn is looking for a hardworking person to join the crew.
The work includes prepping walls, taping and protecting floors/furniture, mixing plaster, keeping the job site organized, and learning to apply specialty finishes like Venetian plaster and limewash — plus hauling materials and setting up/breaking down job sites.
They want someone with a construction or painting background who shows up on time, has a good eye for detail, and takes pride in clean work. Venetian plaster experience is a bonus but not required — they'll train the right person. You'll need reliable transportation to job sites around NYC.

To apply, let them know why you'd be a good fit — solo or as part of a group — along with your availability for September 26th and your rate for the day.
A kitchen in Upper Manhattan needs an experienced banquet prep chef to help get ready for a large-scale event on August 13th, with a possible second date on August 15th.

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 cleaning company is hiring dependable people for heavy-duty cleaning projects across all five boroughs.

Pay starts at $17/hour, with steady, ongoing work for the right people.
To apply, reply with your name, borough, relevant cleaning experience, and your availability.
A downtown Manhattan household is looking for someone to come by midday, daily, to help support an in-home aide with an elderly woman who has Alzheimer's.
She can be resistant to getting dressed and to her weekly shower, so this isn't a passive sit-and-watch role — you'll need real experience with older adults, a gentle-but-firm approach, patience, and a good sense of humor to make it work smoothly alongside the existing aide.
Pay is $50/hour. Need someone who can be there around midday, every day.
To apply, send a resume or a description of relevant caregiving experience, along with an example of a time you had to think on your feet in a stressful work situation.
A haircare and cosmetics brand is putting together a full-day content shoot and needs an experienced freelance videographer to help capture it.
You'd be working with multi-camera setups for the polished footage, plus shooting behind-the-scenes and social content on a phone throughout the day. A good eye for beauty and product content — lighting that flatters skin and hair texture, close-up product detail — matters a lot here.
The shoot runs a full day (roughly 8am–6pm), with exact date and location still being finalized. Candidates based in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, or Newark, NJ are all welcome to apply.
Pay is in the $700–$1,100 range depending on experience.
To apply, send a reel or portfolio, ideally with beauty, haircare, or product work included.
Content creator based on the Lower East Side is looking for someone local to meet up 1-2 times a week to shoot outfit photos and short video clips on an iPhone/small point-and-shoot camera — no personal gear needed, everything's provided.
Sessions are casual, about 1-2 hours, walking around different spots in the city. You don't need to be a professional photographer, but should be comfortable taking direction and have a creative eye. If things click, there could be opportunities to tag along to brand events for behind-the-scenes content too.
Pay is $20/hour plus subway fare.
To apply, reply with a little about yourself and a sense of your photography/creative background.
A small lifestyle brand in Northeast Queens is starting up a candle production line and needs an experienced chandler to help get it going.
You should have real hands-on experience — at least 5 years — working with soy wax blends and higher fragrance loads; this isn't an entry-level candle-making role.
Starts part-time, with pay at $30/hour.
If this sounds like your wheelhouse, reply with your relevant candle-making experience and your availability.
Looking for a solid audio engineer to handle vocal recording and mixing for ongoing rap/hip-hop music projects, based in North Brooklyn.
You should be comfortable in Logic Pro and know your way around Auto-Tune, VST plugins, compression, EQ, and vocal layering — the goal is clean vocals that sit well in a beat. Mastering skills are a plus but not required if mixing is more your lane.
This is paid, project-based work — rates get worked out per project before anything starts.
To apply, share your experience with rap vocals, examples of songs you've worked on, your typical rates and turnaround time, and your general availability.
A content creator based in Manhattan needs a dependable camera operator to follow them on foot during live video sessions (think YouTube, Twitch-style streaming). You'd be running handheld gear — gimbal or stabilizer — while walking, so steady hands and some comfort with live gear matters more than a big resume.
Sessions run anywhere from 2 to 8 hours and get scheduled with at least 48 hours' notice — there's no fixed weekly schedule, so you'll need to be reasonably flexible when a session comes up.
What's needed:
- Must be 21 or older
- Comfortable holding and moving with a camera rig for extended periods
- Basic sense of framing and lighting
- Some familiarity with streaming platforms is a plus
- Having your own way to get around helps but isn't required
To be considered, reply with your age, any relevant camera/streaming experience, your general availability, and what you'd charge.
A community science center on Long Island's South Shore is gearing up for its annual Halloween event and needs a hands-on helper to build out spooky scenes and displays.
The work involves setting up props, running extension cords and lighting for the displays, and generally being comfortable on a ladder with basic tools (drill, hammer, etc.). If you're the type who likes building things and has a creative eye for how a scene should look, this could be a fun seasonal gig.
Pay is $18/hour. Scheduling is flexible — decorating starts now and continues in the lead-up to Halloween, so days can be worked out around your availability.
To apply, share a bit about your relevant experience (construction, set building, prop work, anything hands-on) and let us know your general availability this fall.
A film team preparing to re-release a previously awarded feature is looking for someone to cut a brand-new trailer — theatrical and online versions.
Ideal fit:
- You've cut trailers or other short-form content before and have a good feel for pacing, tone, and how to sell a story in under two minutes
- Local to the New York City area is preferred since some in-person collaboration is likely, though it's not a strict requirement
- You can point to trailer work (or similar) that captures a film's mood and market appeal
This could be a great opportunity for someone earlier in their career to work directly with the director and lead actor on the project.
If interested, reply with a short note about your background, a link to your reel (trailer work especially), your availability, and your rate.
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.
The plan is to rehearse, head into the studio to record, and start gigging. This isn't a play-for-free setup — you get paid for shows; rehearsal time is covered by the band members themselves.
If you're interested, reach out and ask for a sample of the material to check it out first.

Some fighting ability is a plus, or a willingness to learn — there will be fairly involved action scenes. Acting experience helps but isn't a strict requirement if you think you can bring the right presence.

To apply, send a resume, a current photo/headshot, and your email.

An NYC event and nightlife promoter is looking for people who genuinely love to dance to help energize the crowd at a weekend event in Downtown Brooklyn.

Reply here or send a message with your experience and availability.
Need an experienced carpenter to assemble and install a twin-size loft bed that's already designed, with the lumber and hardware on hand.

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.

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.

To apply, send a short video of yourself talking about who you are and why this sounds fun — no formal resume needed.

A media project is looking for a nimble videographer who can shoot short, polished interview clips with interesting local people — think community leaders, artists, small business owners — using just a mobile setup.
You'd need to bring your own simple but professional rig: two cameras (phones are fine), clip-on mics, small portable lights, and something for a clean background. Each shoot is quick, usually 30 minutes or less, and you'd be traveling around all five boroughs plus Long Island depending on where the day's subject is.
Comfort with framing, lighting, and basic edit polish for social/web content matters more than fancy gear.

Scope includes light touches like paint, moving/adding electrical outlets, a possible sink addition, TV mounting, and a closet install.

A family in Downtown Manhattan needs an experienced, steady-under-pressure caregiver to fill in when their regular caretakers are sick or on vacation. Their mother is 90 and can be difficult and strong-willed, so this isn't a beginner caregiving job — you need real experience and thick skin.
Typical tasks include:
• Personal care/hygiene assistance
• Preparing meals
• Light cleaning — washing sheets, doing dishes after meals, wiping down furniture
• Taking her out to the park or for coffee
Pay is $30/hour.
To apply, please:
• Describe a specific high-pressure situation where you had to think on your feet
• Send a resume and/or tell them why you'd be a good fit for this role

Looking for a nimble videographer/content creator to shoot short interviews with interesting people — think school principals, artists, entrepreneurs, influencers — in a quick, casual style similar to a well-known street-interview show, but with just one subject on camera at a time.
You'd be traveling around all five boroughs and out to Long Island, so you need to be mobile and flexible. Each shoot should run about 30 minutes or less.
What you'd bring:
• A simple but high-quality two-camera setup — phones are totally fine
• Clip-on lav mics
• Portable lighting
• A clean backdrop or green screen option

🏷️ Category: Creators / UGC
A small NYC startup is looking for one dependable person, part-time, to help build out their video content — 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:
• Planning and running small NYC shoots — interviews, talking-heads, B-roll, the occasional event
• Shooting on a mirrorless or DSLR camera, basic 2-3 point lighting, clean lav/shotgun audio
• Directing people who are nervous on camera so they give natural, relaxed takes
• Editing in Premiere Pro with tight pacing, speed ramps, and rhythm-driven cuts
• Building motion graphics in After Effects — animated captions, kinetic type, transitions, logo animation
• Sound design, music sync, color correction, and exporting for vertical, square, and horizontal formats — roughly 2-4 finished pieces a week
What they're looking for:
• Strong Premiere Pro AND After Effects skills — a reel with real motion graphics and creative editing, not just clean cuts
• Confidence both behind the camera and in the timeline
• An understanding of pacing, hooks, and retention for short-form social
• Reliable, organized, and good at hitting deadlines
• 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 — 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) — lead with your most dynamic piece. NYC-based only, please, and no agencies.

A small documentary film crew is looking for an outgoing helper to join a day of street interviews somewhere in Lower Manhattan or Brooklyn (exact spot still being scouted).

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.
Paint is already on hand, so you'd mainly be bringing the labor — though it helps if you have your own brushes/rollers and basic painting tools.
Send an estimate for the job (photos of the room are available on request) and let me know your availability.
A Midtown East chiropractic and wellness clinic is filming a short video about prenatal care and needs someone currently pregnant (ideally somewhere in the 24-35 week range) to take part.
The shoot itself is about 30 minutes and shows a real session — gentle massage, stretching, and the Webster technique, a standard, gentle chiropractic approach used for pregnant patients. Comfortable clothes are provided for filming, nothing you need to bring.
Footage will be used on the clinic's social media and in some online ads; a few still photos may also end up on their website or printed materials.
Pay is $250, sent by Zelle right after the shoot wraps.
If you're interested, reply with your due date/how far along you are and an Instagram handle so they can get a feel for you.
Looking for female vocalists for paid recording sessions in Central Brooklyn — 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 — strong musical value that could also work commercially.
Each session runs around 3 hours and pays $50 cash on the spot.
To apply, send links to anywhere your voice is publicly posted — YouTube, SoundCloud, or similar.
A media production filming in Midtown Manhattan is casting for a paid on-camera political debate segment and specifically needs someone who identifies as a Democrat but disagrees with the city's progressive, DSA-aligned political movement and its current leadership.
You should be well-informed on NYC Democratic politics, comfortable explaining your specific concerns with that wing of the party, and confident debating someone who holds the opposite view on camera.
Pay is $250 for about 3 hours of your time.
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 — 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.
Quick moving-labor job in northern Westchester: need a two-person crew for loading and unloading. Two-hour minimum, $25 an hour.
Reply with your availability and best way to reach you and we'll get you the details.
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 — 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 — 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.
Looking to add servers for catered events happening around Manhattan — weddings, parties, and similar. Pay runs $25 to $35 an hour depending on the specific event.
What the job covers: passing food and drinks, helping with setup, cleanup, and breakdown, and generally taking care of guests throughout the event. Uniform is usually all-black dress clothes with a long black tie, pressed and clean — exact details depend on the event.
To be considered, send a recent photo or headshot (a comp card works too if you have one), along with a short note on your relevant experience — caterers, restaurants, or staffing agencies you've worked with before.
Need someone today in North Brooklyn to help unload a truck, starting around 10:30 in the morning. Just need you reliable and on time.

Tiny favor, big convenience for me: I need someone to show up at 6am this Saturday or Sunday to a park near downtown Brooklyn and add my name to a tennis court sign-up sheet. It's not even really a wait — just walk up, write the name down, and you're done in about a minute.
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.
A residential cleaning company that works with a property management group across North Brooklyn is looking to add experienced cleaners to the rotation. This is steady, ongoing work, not a one-time job — and there's a bit of a bonus if you're already based in that part of Brooklyn.
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.
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 — 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 — YouTube, Drive, Loom). A resume isn't needed for this one.
🏷️ Category: Brand Ambassadors · Flyer Distribution · Event Staff
A New York cannabis brand building its name the old-school way — face to face, out on the street — 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 — 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 — 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 — 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.
💵 Compensation: Biweekly stipend (amount not stated)
👥 Applicants: 64
🏷️ Category: Moving Help · Skilled Trades & Repair
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 — 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 — 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.

👥 Applicants: 64

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 — 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 — 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.
Looking for an organized, tech-comfortable personal assistant for a standing Sunday shift, 12pm to 5pm, on the Upper West Side area of Manhattan. Starts right away.
Most of the work is digging through email accounts to find specific messages and information, then getting it organized. You'll also be doing internet research, building spreadsheets, and using AI tools to speed up the work.
What I need from you:

- Excellent English, written and spoken
- Comfortable with computers, research, and AI tools
- Able to get to the Upper West Side easily by subway

- Production assistants
- Sound (mixer or boom operator)
- Lighting and grip
- Wardrobe and art department help
- A script supervisor
- Assistant directors
- Someone to shoot behind-the-scenes photo or video, plus an editor
This is a non-union passion project, so treat it as a portfolio-building credit rather than a paying job unless discussed otherwise with the director.
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.
Small costume jewelry business based in central Queens is looking for a few people to sell product out on the street — you can pick your own spot anywhere around the city that gets foot traffic.

💵 Compensation: $6,300 flat (buyout, no residuals)
👥 Applicants: 71
🏷️ Category: Taste Tests & Sampling
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.

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:

• Your portfolio or resume
• Your rate/quote for the project
• The best way to reach you

If you already work with your own small crew (gaffer, 1st AC, etc.), that's a big plus, and having your own camera package helps but isn't required.
This is a paid gig — please tell us your rate when you reach out.
To apply, email this post with a short intro plus your reel or past work samples, and include request code UPPERMANHATTANDP. We'll follow up with the script and more production details for anyone who seems like a good match.

Looking for someone to do a full deep clean of an apartment in South Queens this Saturday, August 1st — bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, the works.
This is paid by the day rather than by the job, and you'd be needed for about 8 hours that day. Work is as-needed rather than a regular recurring gig, so this could turn into future one-off days too.
To be considered, please include in your reply:
• Your phone number and name
• Your cleaning experience
• Which borough you're coming from
• Your day rate
Note: replies without a phone number won't get a response.

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 — 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 — 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.

Need 1-2 people with a van or box truck for a short move this Friday morning (7/31) or Saturday morning (8/1) — starting between 9:30 and 10:30am. It's a short haul, about 7 blocks / under a mile, from an apartment (4 steps plus a landing, then 6 more steps to the door) to a nearby storage unit.
The load includes several mattresses, TVs that need to come off the wall, some tables, chairs, AC units, bins, and boxes — nothing huge or crazy heavy, just a good amount of stuff. Likely under an hour of actual work, and there could be time for another job the same day if you start early. Whoever helps is welcome to take a free extra fridge off their hands too.
Se habla español — reply in English or Spanish, either is fine.
If you can do it, email this post with:
- Whether you have a van or a box truck

Planning a pretty epic 10+ day RV trip from NYC out to California and need a second driver to share the wheel. You'd help alternate driving shifts so it's safe and comfortable the whole way, not just be along for the ride.
Everything travel-related is covered — gas, food, lodging along the way — and there's a flight back to NYC once the trip wraps up in California. Should be a fun way to see the country if you're up for it.
Email this post and let me know — code NYCRVDRIVER, please:

Running a rec softball team and we need a second t-shirt design — the friend who designed the first one is swamped right now. There's already a rough idea in place (mostly rearranging some stock images) but looking for someone with a real eye to make it pop and add a bit of weird/fun energy to it.

Should be a pretty contained job for someone who's done real carpentry work, ideally before the next heat wave hits.
Want to make sure whoever takes this on can give a fair price up front so there's no surprise bill later.

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 — 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 — reference code BKSOUNDEDITOR — and tell me a bit about your experience with sound editing/mixing and, if you've got one, send a reel or past example.

A small office in the Westchester area needs a regular cleaner, twice a week, ongoing. You'd get a key after a quick walkthrough together, then handle it on your own schedule after that — it's not a huge space. Bring your own cleaning supplies.
Pay is $750 a month, paid like clockwork on the 17th — solid steady income if you're already cleaning other homes or offices nearby and want to add one more stop.
What's needed:
• A clean background check (no felonies)
• Reliable transportation to get there
• Comfortable working independently
• Detail-oriented and dependable
• Cleaning experience is a plus but not required
If you're interested, reply with where you're based, how you'd get there, any cleaning experience you have, when you could start, and confirmation you're okay with a background check.
Hi! Getting married in Lindenhurst on August 1st and still need a videographer for the reception.
We'd need about 6 hours of coverage, 6pm to midnight. No editing required on your end — we just want the raw files. Paying $100/hour for the raw footage.
If you're free that night and interested, send over some previous work (Instagram or a website is fine) along with what equipment you shoot with. Thank you so much!
Hey! I run a small YouTube channel and I need an extra set of hands (and eyes) behind a camera for an upcoming shoot out in Baldwin, Long Island.
It's a pretty chill day — figure about 5 hours, nothing complicated, just steady filming in a normal, professional setting. You'll need to bring your own gear (camera, whatever you shoot on) since I don't have equipment to lend out. Being on time matters more than anything else here. Pay is same-day, we'll settle on a rate before you show up.
If you're free and interested, email this post with:

— your rate for the day

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.

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.

🏷️ Category: Creators / UGC · Skilled Trades & Repair · Beauty and Wellness
A marketing agency is building out its roster of freelance UGC content creators and has room for a few more names. This is remote, project-based contractor work — 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 — 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.
Pay ranges $50–$500 per project depending on scope. Reply with your portfolio link, your experience, your gear and editing setup, and the content categories you're strongest in.
Production is looking to bring on two camera operators/cinematographers for an independently produced reality-style digital project shooting around New York City.
We need people who take call times seriously — 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 — mention code NYCREALITYCAMERA — with the details below:
• Your name
• Reel or portfolio
• Equipment list
• Drone experience (if any)
• General location / how you'd commute
• Availability for the weekend
• Your day rate
This is a paid gig — we'll go over the specifics with anyone who seems like a fit.
A cat-care service that connects owners needing temporary care with people willing to host a cat at home — anywhere from a few nights to a few months — is actively looking for new boarders right now (boarders, not sitters; the sitting roster is currently full).
Quick check before you reach out — this only works if all of these are true for you:
• You don't have pets of your own
• Cats are allowed where you live
• You plan to stay put in your apartment for at least a year, living in NY most of the time
• You live alone or with adults only (no young kids)
• Your place is genuinely cat-safe — window screens, cozy spots, the works
• You're in one of these areas: Manhattan (Harlem, UES, UWS, Midtown, Chelsea, West Village, East Village, Soho, LES, Tribeca, FiDi), Brooklyn (Brooklyn Heights, Carroll Gardens, Barclays Center), or Queens (Astoria, Forest Hills, Jackson Heights)
If that's you, the next step is a home visit to interview you and answer any questions. Boarding pays $175 for a week, $282 for two weeks, or $450 for a month.
Reply with your neighborhood, your history with cats, and why you'd make a good host.

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.

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

A residential cleaning service is adding a few more two-person teams for ongoing work. This is not a one-off job — 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 — 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.
A pet-tech startup is running a public street demo in Midtown Manhattan — small robotic animals moving around a crowd while people react — and they need someone to capture it on video for about three hours straight, either Friday or Saturday evening (roughly 6:30 to 9:30pm).
No filming background required. You just need to be comfortable moving through a crowd with a camera up the whole time — handheld, gimbal, or a phone rig, whatever steady setup you've got — and know how to catch people's reactions as they notice what's happening.
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.
To apply, reply with a phone number and whether Friday or Saturday works better — exact meeting details will follow.

Licensed Contractor Needed for Apartment Violation Repairs
📍 Location: Upper Manhattan
🗓️ When: Within 24 hours
💵 Compensation: Priced per the work required
👥 Applicants: 59

There are a few Class C violations in an apartment in upper Manhattan that need to finally get fixed, paid for privately rather than through the building.
The requirement: whoever takes this on has to be on the HPD Pre-Qualified Contractor List, and the work has to meet HPD repair guidelines — no shortcuts. The main item so far is rotted wood flooring in a bedroom, with a couple of smaller items alongside it. Photos can be sent once you confirm you qualify.
Please reply by email with the following, and include the code HARLEMHPDREPAIR:
- Are you on the HPD pre-qualified list?
- Have you handled Class C violation repairs before?
- How do you usually price this kind of work?
- How soon could you come take a look?

Ongoing on-call helper roster for a NYC CEO running two companies: outdoor marketing/flyer distribution and commercial/office moves. 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 — 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.
