A poorly written task description leads to confused workers, bad submissions, and wasted coins. A great one fills your slots in under an hour with exactly the proof you need. Here are five tips from our top clients.

1. Lead with the outcome, not the steps

Your title and first sentence should immediately communicate what you're trying to achieve. "Follow our Instagram page" is better than "We need help with our social media presence."

2. Number your steps

Use a numbered list for every step the worker must take. This reduces back-and-forth, makes proof-checking easier, and cuts rejection rates. Workers know exactly what to do and in what order.

3. Be specific about proof requirements

Don't say "take a screenshot." Say "take a screenshot showing your username, the followed/subscribed status, and the page name in the same frame." The more specific your proof requirements, the fewer bad submissions you'll receive.

4. Set a fair reward

Tasks that pay 25+ coins fill faster than tasks paying 5 coins for the same effort. Use the platform's category benchmarks as a guide. Fair pay attracts experienced workers.

5. Test your task yourself first

Walk through your own task steps as if you were a worker. Can you complete it in the time you estimated? Is the proof you're asking for actually possible to provide? This one step catches 80% of common errors.
