Are you the best cook in your family? Or can you take great portraits? You can use any of your skills you have on Plainshare! Having a hard time finding something? Here are some categories of skills you can use as inspiration:
Look through the marketplace to see what others offer or request in your neighborhood or online. See if there’s anything that interests you.
Need some help with your Spanish grammar?
But can’t afford to pay for a tutor? No problem! You can offer your baking skills or... walk someone's dog in exchange!
Add your talents and skills to your profile. And post your request to the marketplace and watch as messages appear in your inbox.
After some message back and forth, you come across Victor who is a Spanish tutor.
Great! You offer to bake him a cake for an upcoming birthday. But...one cake in return for multiple Spanish lessons seems a little unfair value wise.
To make the deal “fair”, you can add tokens on top of your offer. Victor can use the tokens to make future deals he makes with others “fair”.
Amazing, Victor accepted your deal! You meet every week for your Spanish lessons. And you bake him a cake for his nephew's birthday.
Both of you done what you promised to do and you complete the deal.
You can finally ask for directions in Spanish and Victor let you know that everybody enjoyed the cake you baked for him.
After completing the deal, you can add a review for Victor and he will surely leave one for you. Rinse and repeat!
