So, how do you feel about trading goods and services in-kind? How do you feel about hand puppets? How do you feel about rap?
This video will help you answer all these questions. My presentation from Ignite Phoenix 5 : "Use What You Got To Get What You Want."
Rap text :
When I say "Sales Tax" you say "Auuugh!" Sales tax! [Auuugh!] Sales tax! [Auuugh!] When I say "Community," you say "Exchange!" Community! [Exchange!] Community! [Exchange!] Now clap with me... one, two, three, hit it!
Sales tax as a tax is regressive That means to the poor, it's oppressive Money has problems, that's what we say For local commerce, there's a better way! What is it that we propose to do? Let's trade things of real value!
Don't you know we're trading Hard hats for driveway surfaces Web pages for legal services Copywriting for photography Food for books, aiyyo, it's better than money!
Aiyyo I got some carrots! Yo I got some plums! Let's trade together So we both can have some!
Awwww yeah, that's the way that we do Trading goods and services in kind is not for fools! Hahahar! We got it made -- While I got a chance now, let me make this trade!
We're trading in kind, we hope you don't mind now Skills plus goods -- more value than money, hey all right! We get to better know each other When we trade in-kind with one another
Informal or organized, this trade is fly! Don't forget to file your 1099! Community exchange, it rocks the spot Use what you got to get what you want!
You may notice we gave in and put an ad here to help pay bills and whatnot. It should be pretty out-of-the-way for most users. For those of you with AdBlock (I use the Safari Version) who can't see the ad, it is apparently full of links to electrical wire and electricians. I'm really glad google technology is advanced enough to read the url and figure out that we are, in fact, an electrical wire testing and review site. That's real impressive.
After a few weeks with zero clicks (unless by freak coincidence you actually need an electrician or something), I'll probably take it down. So for now, just ignore it or install AdBlock.
In case you're interested, we're also working on a project to feed content from this page automatically to other domains, since "latewire" is so nebulous it's like taking a hammer to Google's wiener. Some other domain owner actually approached me with the idea and it seems like a cheap and easy thing to do. We already own a few domains we're not using so... (29,004)
