Imagine a world where people help each other by offering skills, services, or items they no longer need—without using money. The Exchange makes that possible! Whether you're looking to share your talents, pass along useful items, or connect with someone who has what you need, this guide will walk you through how it all works.



Step 1: What Do You Have to Offer?

Before you get started, think about:
✅ What skill or service can I offer?
✅ What items do I have that someone else could use?
✅ What do I need that someone else might have?

Some great exchange ideas:

Offer a Skill: Haircuts, tutoring, home repair, cooking, business advice

Pass It On: Clothes, furniture, tools, books, electronics, appliances

Share a Service: Web design, photography, social media management, childcare


Now that you know what you can give (or what you’re looking for), it’s time to put it out there!



Step 2: Create Your Listing

Sharing what you have is easy! Just follow these steps:
1️⃣ Go to The Exchange and click "Create a Listing."
2️⃣ Fill in the details:

What you're offering

What you're looking for (optional)

Images (if applicable)

Your location (if relevant)
3️⃣ Submit your listing and start connecting!



Step 3: Find the Right Match

Once your listing is live, you can:
✔️ Browse other listings to find something that fits your needs
✔️ Message members directly to discuss an exchange
✔️ Leave comments or ask questions about listings

💡 Tip: Be clear about what you're offering and keep communication open and respectful!



Step 4: Make the Exchange

Decide on the details and agree on a fair exchange

If needed, work out a timeframe for services

Meet safely if you're exchanging in person


The best exchanges are built on trust, respect, and mutual benefit—so make sure both sides feel good about the deal!
