How to Swap
Swapping is simple. Plug in what you want, what you've got and start swapping. I like checking out the wish lists and initiating a swap that way.It's amazing what hidden talents and items you realize you have when you look at other's wish lists. Hmmm...someone's looking for language lessons- hey I speak Clingon !.Let's plug that into the magical matching machine and see if I get a nibble.
What to SwapIn a recent SwapSity contest, swappers typed their fingers off and racked their brains to come up with the longest list of skills and items they had to swap. And quite the lists they are indeed- everything from the ridiculous (a dead Christmas tree) to the sublime (original works of art and spa treatments).
Some of the easiest things to swap are those that require little or no postage – Gift Cards,points, coupons, or services you can provide over the internet or locally. However, as gas prices soar, postage is a pittance..
Get a Job Get Site TrafficSwapSity is also a great place to network. Join one of the swap groups- trade skills and stuff. Got a group idea? Let them know. There may be a lot of other left-handed snooglehorn players who want to swap parts too. Job hunting? Advertise your skills – strut your stuff. Tell the world what you can do. Want increased traffic to your blog or website? Link your posting to your site.
