Philadelphia: Get Paid What You're Worth, Same Day You Work

Philadelphia

Your Skills Are Worth More Than You're Getting

If you live in Philadelphia and you're tired of being underpaid for what you can do, you're not alone. Whether you've been driving, fixing things around the house, or helping neighbors with everyday tasks, those skills have real value—and you deserve to be paid fairly for them.

Lumo is a marketplace that connects independent contractors with people across Fishtown, Old City, Rittenhouse, South Philly, Manayunk and the rest of Philadelphia who need local help. You set your own hours, choose which jobs to accept, keep 90% of every payment, and get paid the same day you complete the work. No waiting two weeks. No surprises. Just fair pay for honest work.

Three Ways to Earn on Your Terms

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

  • Delivery: food, groceries and packages across town by car, bike or scooter – If you've got reliable transportation and know your way around the city, delivery work lets you stay moving and earn on a flexible schedule. You decide which deliveries to take.
  • Handyman repairs: mounting TVs, fixing doors, patching walls and small repairs – Good with tools? Plenty of people need help with the small fixes that make a home livable. You choose the jobs that match your skills and availability.
  • Mobile car detailing: washing and detailing cars right in the customer's driveway – If you take pride in a job well done and like working with your hands, mobile detailing lets you bring the service directly to customers and earn well for it.

A Bonus for Getting Started

Complete your first 100 jobs on Lumo and you'll earn a $100 USD loyalty bonus on top of what you've already made. It's our way of recognizing contractors who show up and do the work.

You Deserve to Be Paid Fairly
