We may not have money to give, but we have skills to exchange. Use the comments section in this page to post what skills you’re willing to barter. Could be your advertising-specific skills like writing, design, or project management. Or, maybe you once studied under a master furniture maker and you can exchange an Armoire for a new web site. That’s the beauty of bartering, you never know what skills you have that someone else might need. As the section grows, I’ll organize it by specialty/skill. But for now, just post away!
Cut and paste the following as a sample template for your offering:
