Thanks for stopping by--I'm glad you mentioned philanthropy; it's one of the most important aspects of our personal and business ventures. I too help small- and medium-sized organizations and non-profits with web and graphic design whenever I'm able. As far as a steady paycheck--I'm a worship leader and youth director for a Methodist church, and I run my media company on the side <a href="http://(www.highercallingmedia.com)," target="_blank">(www.highercallingmedia.com),</a> although I'm currently looking for a marketing job as well so I can focus more on learning the industry without many of the distractions of entrepreneurship! Hope to hear from you soon--stop be again sometime! Nick Hi, Max!

Thanks for stopping by–I'm glad you mentioned philanthropy; it's one of the most important aspects of our personal and business ventures. I too help small- and medium-sized organizations and non-profits with web and graphic design whenever I'm able.

As far as a steady paycheck–I'm a worship leader and youth director for a Methodist church, and I run my media company on the side (www.highercallingmedia.com), although I'm currently looking for a marketing job as well so I can focus more on learning the industry without many of the distractions of entrepreneurship!

Hope to hear from you soon–stop be again sometime!

Nick

The business has to have a cause that brings value to the community and to others. I love Philanthropy, so I just make sure that it reflects in the accounts and actions that I work on! Well how do you make a living. Actually, in the process I have made a ton of connections and been able to still make great money and increase my network 10 fold. I help the community and do something I love at the same time I make a difference.

However, I would like to see an upgrade to their interface soon; I think it needs a facelift! Well, BarterQuest has proved to be an effective tool–I think they have some great, useful features.

Of course, people sometimes take other stuff in our yard as well (stuff that ISN'T free...)!

Everyone has something they no longer treasure but someone else would. I was just discussing with my wife yesterday about when we moved out of our apartment complex to a new home. I had an entire set of weights and an old bicycle I didn't want so I put it by the dumpsters. I knew someone would grab them and as luck would have it we saw a group of guys grabbing the weights and loading it into their car that same day and the bike had already dissapeared. I felt I made a difference in someone's life. Excellent reminder! Everyone has something they no longer treasure but someone else would.

It took him like 9 months though for a 70k house or something like that. Which if you can do 70k every 9 months, your doing ok! Yea I read that story, I'm pretty sure it was true.

I also use barterquest. Joined after I watched Fox news a few months ago. I also like instant match, automatic trading platform, account management part of barterquest VS craigslist you will have to spent a lots of time to email communication and some of them were just not worthy. Just few months ago no one knew about barterquest but now more people talking about BarterQuest. I see next ebay! Thank you for the information. I also use barterquest.

It was big during the early 2000's I believe, but I'm not sure if it was true or not. Either way, I guess if you put some thought into it, it would be something you could live off of. Interesting concept; maybe someone should try it! I think there was a guy who traded a red paperclip for a pencil, then the pencil for a pen, etc. all the way to a house!

I wonder if one could live off of bartering. Certainly someone could at some point, but today...It'd be a good story. That's a great idea about bartering. I wonder if one could live off of bartering.
