Time Trade

Time Trade Beta Live!

Our Time Trade system is based around communities of people that are willing to support, collaborate and work with each other.

Time Trading is simply about spending an hour doing something for somebody in your community. In recognition of your contribution you receive one Time Credit for every hour of your time,

You can then gift or trade your time credits with other members of the community, in exchange for their talent and time. It’s a simple idea, but it has powerful ripple effects in building community connections.

Time Credits are exchanged in recognition of the help offered to others in the community and are received by way of trade, gift or nomination.

Time Trade is specifically for the exchange of SERVICES.

This means you trade in time and talent only; not goods or products. Here’s a couple of questions that might help you get started on your Time Trade profile.

1. What three things do you think you do best?
2. What are your talents and skills
3. Are there any talents or skills you’d like to teach?
4. Are there any skills you’d like to learn?
5. What are your interests? Could you share your interest with others?
6. If you could do your dream job what would you do?
7. What could you volunteer to do or learn that would put you one step closer to that dream job?

We are all gifted with talents that are of value in a Time Trade community because Time Trade recognises that our life experiences, our knowledge, everything we are – from what we know to what we don’t know – creates value with which to help others.

It's inspiring to see such innovative and much needed initiatives being driven by socially aware people. I know of a person who has been working on a similar project. I will direct her to what you are doing, and will join and participate what I can.

I applaud your team for your commitment and know what it takes to get a venture like this off the ground. Really impressive. Look forward to seeing how it develops!
