Swapistan Helps Young Women Swap Skills with Each Other to Save Money
Swapistan, a new online group, helps young women get the services they need without having to pay for them. Swapistan provides a barter-like platform for members to swap skills and services with each other, when and where it is convenient for them.
Los Angeles, CA, December 07, 2010 --(PR.com)-- On December 1st, 2010, a new online group called Swapistan came to life to help young women get the services they need without having to pay for them. Swapistan provides a platform for its members to swap skills and services with each other, when and where it is convenient for them. Each member volunteers an hour of her time helping another young woman. She receives a Swapbuck in exchange and later she can use that to purchase services: massages, manicures, pet sitting, language lessons, software tutoring, legal advice, life coaching and much more - without having to spend her cash.
“As a 20-something woman, I have spent countless nights curling up on the couch with my girly magazines, reading about what I could be doing: spa days, shopping trips, weekend getaways with the girls. What the magazines didn’t tell me was how my entry level salary was supposed to pay for all that,” says Joy Childs, co-founder of Swapistan. “I knew that I was not the only girl who had a caviar taste but a salami budget.”
Considering that nearly 800,000 young women graduated from a US college or university this year, most of who got hired in low-paying jobs or not at all, there is no shortage of kindred spirits looking to join the “sisterhood of swappers.” Swapistan offers these young women a lifetime membership with features like local events, newsletters with money saving tips, members-only telecourses and dozens of hours of skill swapping. Their motto: save your cash. Time is money, so pay with it.
