Brooklyn: Keep 90% of What You Earn – You're Worth More Than You're Being Paid

Brooklyn

You Already Have Skills Worth Real Money

Finding good work in Brooklyn right now is hard. Whether you're in Williamsburg, Park Slope, Bushwick, Bed-Stuy, or DUMBO, too many people are working jobs that don't pay what their skills and effort are actually worth. If you can drive, do yard work, or clean and detail a car, you already have what it takes to earn more on your own terms.

Lumo is a marketplace where Brooklyn residents hire local contractors for everyday jobs. You choose the work that fits your schedule and skills, you keep 90% of what the customer pays, and you get paid the same day. No waiting on a paycheck. No taking home a fraction of what you earned.

Three Types of Work You Can Do Right Now

Lumo is recruiting 300 contractors in Brooklyn, and jobs open as customers post them. Here's what's available:

  • Delivery: Move food, groceries, and packages across town by car, bike, or scooter. Great for anyone who knows the streets and wants flexible work between other commitments.
  • Yard work: Mowing, raking, hedge trimming, and garden clean-ups. Perfect if you're comfortable outside and already do this kind of work for yourself or neighbors.
  • Mobile car detailing: Wash and detail cars right in the customer's driveway. If you've got an eye for detail and like working with your hands, this pays well and you bring the service to them.

You accept the jobs you want. You control your time.

A Loyalty Bonus That Rewards Your Work

Complete your first 100 jobs and Lumo pays you a $100 USD loyalty bonus. It's straightforward: do the work, build your reputation, and get paid extra for sticking with it.

You're worth more than you're being paid right now. Sign up on Lumo, put your skills to work, and finally keep what you earn.
