Barter Days Are Ahead


With the ushering in of a new year it's always good to "take inventory" of what really matters and envision the potential of good things happening personally and professionally.

Barter, is by definition, to trade by exchange of commodities rather than by use of money (cash). But it is much more, since many individuals and companies also trade their services for other services both directly and indirectly.

Q. How can we "create" some better days ahead in the new year for ourselves and our companies?

A. Well, of course, the answer is to always think BARTER FIRST!

Here are some quick bullet items to consider as you embark on your adventure toward saving cash, building relationships and finding more customers through barter:




  • Take an inventory of personal and business items that you have that you did not use last year and probably won't use this year (a good place to look is in your attic, your basement, your garage and... at the back of your closet!)

  • Make a list of these items and determine what you feel a "fair market value" is. In other words, if you wanted that item and someone was offering it to you for sale, what would you be willing to pay.

  • Shine 'em up, take a digital photo and post 'em on craigslist, ebay, etc. BUT, also post these items on your favorite online trade exchange (we most humbly recommend http://synergystreettrade.com/)

  • List your stuff & see what happens. You may be surprised to find out that you can sell the items faster and for full retail (market value) on the trade exchange faster that for cash in other places.

  • Once you've joined a trade exchange and list your stuff (which you can do for FREE with a "Guest Membership" at http://www.synergystreettrade.com/ then you've got "trade dollars" that you can now spend on stuff you want. You only pay a cash fee of 10% when you spend your SST$ (SynergyStreetTRADE dollars) on something you want.

Hey, this is like having your own private EASY button, and it's fun!

Don't forget, you can do the same thing with services, i.e. you do web design, teach piano, pet sit, personal shop, etc. (the sky is the limit) and you offer your services for trade as well. Check out some of the millions of dollars of products and services already listed on SynergyStreetTRADE.

THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO WANTS WHAT YOU HAVE & THERE IS SOMEONE WHO HAS WHAT YOU WANT! Use barter to find them and to get found!

Truly, with a little ingenuity (and a little time and effort) there can easily be BARTER DAYS AHEAD!
