If you like to flush money down the toilet, I challenge you to join Thumbtack and they will help you do just that. After spending over $2,000.00 of my hard earned money, they charged me for every cheap windown shopper fake $#*! clients they could forge and even when I set my account not to accept project over 5 hours (since their fee was just killing me), they charged me under their perfect match policy. When I set my calendar as unavailable for days I had other engagements, guest what, they still charged me.
So if you like to pay for things your don't need, Thumbtack will gladly help you. If you need to talk to someone, not a chat line to be blown off or email, you will find yourself spinning in circle in their so elegantly designed $#*!ed up answering system that keeps repeating itself just to frustrate you and waste your time. I challenge you to give their customer care a call to see how much they don't care.
Lastly, remember even though you are a pro with 5 star ratings from your customers, you mean nothing to them and they will just turn to the next newbie photographer and scam, charge, repeat.
