📖 The Hustle
Mount flat-screen TVs on walls and anchor heavy furniture to prevent tip-overs. You need a drill, stud finder, level, and basic hardware. Charge $50-100 per TV mount and $30-50 per furniture anchor. Most jobs take under an hour. Three TV mounts on a Saturday at $75 each earns $225. It is one of the most requested TaskRabbit gigs. Easy to learn, quick to complete, and people are scared to drill into their own walls.
🚀 First Step
Buy a stud finder and a basic drill, practice mounting your own TV or a friend's, then create a TaskRabbit profile for TV mounting at a flat per-TV rate with photos of your work.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Always find and mark studs — mounting a TV into drywall alone will end in disaster
- Bring a variety of bolts and anchors so you never have to run to the hardware store mid-job
- Hide the cables using a simple cable management kit — it is the detail that earns 5-star reviews
