tl;dr —We’ve built a better way to make money. It also happens to be a better way to get things done. There’s pictures at the bottom.

Have you ever been broke?

Strapped for cash?

Struggled to make ends meet?

If you answered yes, then join the club. Well over half of all Americans are living paycheck to paycheck with less than a thousand dollars in the bank.

The way we “work” is broken and HUDU has the solution.

A better way to make money.

Now, we’re not looking to replace the 9–5, but rather break this cycle of “paycheck to paycheck” and never really being able to get ahead.

For many, the American Dream feels like just that, a dream, completely unattainable. HUDU is putting the American Dream back within reach for anyone who wants to chase it!

Enough rhetoric, let’s dive into what HUDU is and how we’re doing this.

Let’s start with the name, it comes from every time you’ve asked, “Hey, who do you know that can [do this thing I need done]…”

We’ve all been there, we’ve needed something done and had to go through this complicated and painful process of finding someone to take our money and do the project. With HUDU, you simply post the project on the app and the real magic begins!

“A better way to get things done.”

For the millions of American’s living paycheck to paycheck, they have skills that could be monetized, but doing so is easier said than done… until now.

When you open the HUDU app, the first thing you see are countless projects in your area that people need done (see pictures below). For anyone looking to make extra money, simply find a project you know you can do well and go bid on it!

Wait, go bid? Yup, you heard that correctly! Say goodbye to working by the hour. The harder you work, the faster you get the project done, the more time you have for you… which as you’ll soon read, that’s a big part of why we built this.

Bidder beware, it’s not always the low bid that wins! The Lister gets to gets to choose the “Lowest Qualified Bidder” (don’t worry Listers, our algorithm will give you guidance if needed). Price will obviously be a factor, but so will reviews, feedback ratings, experience, and certifications. More on this another time!

You’re probably wondering, “What types of projects will be on HUDU”? All you have to remember is this:

“If it’s legal, you can list it.”

During our HUDU v1.0 Beta Testing we had everything from a wedding photographer, tree removal, pet sitting, lawn care, fixing a hand rail, sewing, car detailing, and even fixing a broken Macbook!

At the core of HUDU, our foundational belief is that people want three things:

  1. Paid what they are worth.
  2. Do things they enjoy.
  3. Have time for the things which matter most to them.

For the first time in the history of working, you will have complete control over how much you make, you’ll have complete control over the type of work you do, and you’ll have complete control over when you work.

That’s how HUDU is changing the way the world works… by giving YOU control. After all, thats what the American Dream is all about. 🇺🇸

We wanted this intro article to be a short and easy read, as a result, there was a lot of stuff we quickly skimmed over or didn’t have a chance to talk about! Rest assured we will cover it all in future articles, so be sure to follow us here on Medium.

If you have any pressing questions or feedback, we welcome it! Please reach out to us on your preferred social platform, our username is @HeyHUDU across all of social!
