Offerings Inspiration List
I have nothing to offer!
This is a very common first reaction when a new user is requested to provide details of what they are going to offer on the exchange system. Registering with the CES will help you realise that you do have things to offer and that you can be useful to others. Whether you are skilled or not, your time, energy or resources will be of value to someone. A few examples are shopping, answering the phone, dog walking, cooking, cleaning, gardening, child care, car lifts, home equipment or tool hire, to name a few.
Start by asking yourself what you really enjoy doing, or sit down with a friend and tell each other what you are good at. Take a look at the Inspiration List below and have a look at the demonstration site to get ideas. You will probably surprise yourself when you begin to think about it!
The list below will give you some idea of what you can offer. This is not a complete list; it is just meant to provide some inspiration. You will be able to see what others are offering once you access your account and look at the Offerings List.
