Skill swaps, explained
A few questions people ask before they trade.
- What is a skill swap?
- A skill swap is one kind of Nearhood trade. You offer something you can do and ask for something you need back, with no money involved. Trades also cover lending space, sharing tools or helping with a job. It is also called a skill exchange, skill sharing or just trading.
- How do skill swaps work on Nearhood?
- Post what you can offer and what you want in return. A neighbour messages you on Nearhood and you arrange the swap between you. Browsing and posting are free.
- Do I need money to trade skills?
- No. Nearhood trades are swaps: you exchange skills, help or useful things, not cash.
- What kinds of skills can I swap?
- Anything a neighbour can help with: gardening, cat sitting, painting, tutoring, DIY, repairs, music lessons or cooking.
