There are certain tasks that require a substantial amount of work performing dull activities. Researching a great location for a corporate event can be considered one of these cases for many people. Companies can use online websites like ShortTask.com to allow people with more free time to do these tasks for them. This allows the company to not have to hire new individuals, which is especially important in these dire economic times. Moreover, companies can offer higher cash incentives to get certain projects accomplished. Once the pay seems reasonable enough, then the work will be adequate. If the pay rate is too low, it appears as if the company does not care about the worker and the work will be poor. Hence, if one wants to get a certain amount of people to research on a company event's location adequately, then the compensation must be fair for his/her time.

The task for the solver could include location research. The task would revolve around a certain set of requirements that the seeker specified and the solver would adhere to them. The task could include finding a venue available at a certain date, a venue that provides the best value for money, a venue that is within a certain number of miles form a specified location or even a venue that is specialized in an unusual area of entertainment. The task may then involve contacting and booking the venue, or just getting a list of venues, quotes, and dates arranging them in an easy to understand list and then resubmitting that list back to the seeker for a decision to be made.
