The ground you'd cover.
Distances are measured from downtown Frisco. The towns below sit in Collin, Denton, Dallas, Grayson and Hunt counties. Every market reaches 75 miles from its downtown in three travel bands, and the farther bands pay a higher hourly rate because the drive is longer. You choose which bands you take, and you can change it later.

Not sure which market your town belongs to? Apply for the city nearest you and tell us where you live. The markets overlap on purpose, and you tell us which queues you want bookings from. What customers here are told is on the Frisco page.
What the work looks like here.
New two-story houses with the internet box in the garage, families who moved here for Legacy West and the office campuses along the Tollway, grandparents who followed them, and older one-story brick in Plano and Richardson from the 1970s and 80s. Farmersville, Greenville and Leonard are the longer drives, out past the last subdivision into farm country, and they pay the higher band rates.
You keep the majority of every booking, and every tip is yours. You see the split up front. Tips are paid out weekly, in full.
You set your own availability. Open the times that suit you in Nerd HQ. A few evenings a week or full time, that part is your call.
Bookings come through the Nerd HQ app. Customers book the open time you publish, with buffer time built in around each visit.
Nobody negotiates money at the door. Every booking takes a deposit up front and holds the card. The customer signs off on your phone at the end and the rest charges itself.
You're independent. Your own tools, any reliable and presentable vehicle, and free to work elsewhere whenever you like.
You have a team behind you. You get the Nerd HQ app, a direct line to HQ, a team that meets over video, and other Local Nerds to ask when something's strange.
Questions people in Frisco ask.
Do I need to live in Frisco itself?
No. Apply for this market and tell us your town and ZIP. Distances are measured from Frisco, but you can live in Plano, McKinney, Allen or anywhere else in the market.
Is Dallas part of this market?
No. Dallas, Garland and Irving are their own market, measured from downtown Dallas, and Denton and Flower Mound are another, measured from downtown Denton. Apply to the one closest to your house and tell us your ZIP.
One form, then a real conversation.
Apply online. About five minutes. No resume needed.
We read it. A real person reads every application, and if it looks like a fit, we reach out.
A short pre-screen on your phone. Two quick videos and one typed answer, about fifteen minutes. A person watches every one.
A thirty-minute video call. To meet you and walk through the role together.
Background check, and we pay for it. Only after we've talked. You enter your details with the screening provider, never with us.
Onboarding, and you're live. Your Nerd HQ account, your hours and a short orientation, then your first booking.

This page describes an independent contractor opportunity and is not an offer of employment.

Compensation is a revenue share paid on completed bookings. Nothing on this page guarantees any level of income or booking volume, in this market or any other.
