Brooklyn: Your Skills Are Worth More Than You're Earning Right Now

The Job Search Doesn't Have to Be This Hard

If you're in Williamsburg, Park Slope, Bushwick, or anywhere across Brooklyn, you already know: finding work that actually pays what you're worth is exhausting. Applications disappear into the void, interviews lead nowhere, and too many jobs expect everything while offering the bare minimum.

Here's what most people miss: the skills you already have—driving around DUMBO, cleaning an apartment in Bed-Stuy, walking a neighbor's dog—are worth real money right now. You don't need another certificate or a lucky break. You need a platform that pays you fairly for work you can already do.

That's what Lumo is. We're a marketplace connecting Brooklyn residents who need help with independent contractors who can provide it. You choose the jobs, set your own hours, and keep 90% of what you earn. No waiting two weeks for a paycheck—you get paid the same day.

Three Ways to Start Earning

Lumo is currently recruiting 300 contractors in Brooklyn. Here's the kind of work available:

• Delivery: Transport food, groceries, and packages across Brooklyn by car, bike, or scooter. Perfect if you know the neighborhoods and enjoy being on the move. You decide which delivery jobs to accept.
• Home cleaning: Clean apartments, homes, and handle move-out cleans. Ideal for detail-oriented people who take pride in their work. You choose your clients and schedule.
• Pet care: Dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits. Great for animal lovers who want flexible work that doesn't feel like work. Accept the jobs that fit your day.

Every job type lets you see the details up front and decide whether to take it. No surprises, no pressure.
