r/slavelabourhiring posts only

r/slavelabour is for quick, cheap tasks. People hiring tag their posts [TASK], and people offering work tag theirs [OFFER], which we skip. Nearly every task we read was a genuine paid job.

Typical tasks are short video edits, voice-overs and narration, admin errands like posting listings, and small design jobs. Budgets are low, usually tens of dollars, and posts often name PayPal as the way you'll be paid.

• For anything longer than an hour, ask for part of the payment up front, or split the task into paid stages.
• Some tasks ask for a free sample, like a short narration clip. Keep it short, or ask for it to be paid.
