Lets help the economy

I think that to become rich in this country, you have to find a way to make someone's day shorter. You can also take advantage of what is going on in the world. People have made money off of every tragedy or great event in history. Not all of them are as opportunistic as they are trying to help people out of the problems that are most common. In America today, lack of money is most common...so our site jobs4trade.com is going to allow people to barter their services for what they need. Business owners, if they need work done on their buildings, or IT work on their site, they can trade and save some of that capital. People trading services is just a form of bartering that has been around for thousands of years. Instead of bartering items, which isnt really useful to many people unless you have stuff to give up, doesnt really do the same thing. A service is expendable. You likely don't get paid what you think your worth for your skills, but this way you can.

How would this be different from a website like odesk.com?

Here's my contribution to society. I don't have a service to exchange, but I have lots of information to jump start an opportunity for someone looking to make something happen.

I could have rolled this into a for fee package, but that doesn't help anyone. While the site is monetized, it's not a requirement to gain access to the material. It's solely bonus.

I've been developing a somewhat similar idea to your concept for months now.. mine has an entirely niche-oriented spin to it but I understand your premise as it is one I am also using.

If you're up for collaborating drop me a line at heyidea@gmail.com

Please be aware: Bartering is STILL taxable, if it`s for commercial gain. We can break it down like this - I am an IT consultant and I do work for a lawyer, in exchange the lawyer will waive his legal fee's for my upcoming legal battle. By law, we must both claim the monetary value of the services traded. However, if it`s the event where I am an electrician and my best friend is a plumber, he does my plumbing and I do his electrical work - this is different.

Hope that helps. Laws are made to be broken in a lawful way.

You cannot escape the fed!
