When you need to complete a task fast, waiting is not an option.
I learned this the hard way after trying freelancers, social media, and forums. Each time, the process moved slowly. Replies took hours or days, and progress stalled.
So instead of repeating the same mistake, I tried a different approach.
It did not require special skills.
It did not need long explanations.
Most importantly, it needed to be completed quickly.
Because of this, hiring a freelancer felt unnecessary. I did not want proposals, interviews, or long conversations.
Then, I set a fixed reward.
After that, I posted the task on MysteryDeli.
There was no application process.
There was no waiting for approval.
Instead, users could immediately see the task and start working.
What Happened Next
The response surprised me.
Within the same day:
By the end of the day, 20 people had completed the task.
At that point, it was obvious why this approach worked.
Microtasks remove hesitation.
Users don’t need to message you.
They don’t need permission.
They don’t need reassurance.
Because everything is clear upfront, people can act immediately. As a result, tasks scale naturally as more users participate.
This makes microtasks ideal when speed matters.
Several factors helped the task succeed:
Together, these elements created momentum. Once users started completing the task, others followed.
This approach works best when:
If your goal is to complete a task fast, microtasks are often the best solution.
Getting 20 people to complete a task in one day did not require ads, hiring, or long planning.
It required clarity and the right platform.
Instead of waiting for freelancers to reply, I let users act immediately.
If you need fast results for a small task, this method can work for you too.
Post your task on MysteryDeli and see how quickly people respond.
