TimeBucks.org---Use this site to share your skills and find services you need

What Company Is Offering:
TimeBucks.org, Use this site to share your skills and find services you need. Posted services are usually less formal and less profit-oriented than other directories. Most people who provide services just want to share a talent or support an organization they care about.

How It Works:
They encourage the non-commercial nature of their community by setting a one-price-for-everybody policy: 15 "time-bucks" is equal to one hour of service. That can be broken down into larger or smaller amounts. For example, 7.50 time-bucks is equal to a half an hour, and so on.


Members can earn time-bucks by providing a service or purchasing time-bucks online at $1 to 1 time-buck. When you exchange dollars for time-bucks, you're taking your money out of the financial system that rewards profits above people, and putting it into a system that supports nonprofits and communities. Click the Get Tab to order your time-bucks.


Members trade time-bucks for a wide variety of services. Post a service yourself or look under the Trade tab to view services by category.


A great way to support a good cause is by giving your time-bucks to participating nonprofit organizations or community groups. Participating groups get 85 cents for every "time-buck" they receive--that's $12.75 for every hour donated on their behalf.

TimeBucks hopes to become a sustainable business. They use the remaining 15 cents that isn't donated to nonprofit organizations, as well as interest on the purchase, to maintain and grow the site.

BabyPlays---Toy Rental--Unique Business Idea

What Company Is Offering:
BabyPlays recognizes that many parents want their children to experience the learning opportunity and skill development that come though playing with a variety of toys. However, they also recognize that it is simply unnecessary to buy everything!

How It Works:
The BabyPlays program provides answers to these dilemmas! By providing your family with 6 fresh and exciting toys to play with each month, your child can experience 72 different toys in 1 year. Any toys that you are no longer interested in, are simply returned to us at the end of 30 days.


It is the Mission of BabyPlays to facilitate the strengthening of family bonds by encouraging family playtime. The BabyPlays program provides the ideal opportunity for your special family play date.
