HelpWith is the marketplace for skill-exchange: get things done and learn new skills through your community!Now, more than ever, we are reminded of how important a strong local community can be in helping us solve problems. When we unite around common values and share our skills and knowledge, everybody wins. This is why we created HelpWith; to help you explore the untapped talents of your community, connect, and get more done.
We have connected designers with coders, in order to help creatives break through to development. We have helped parents find peer-reviewed guitar teachers for their children. We have even helped kombucha brewers spread their craft to those looking to learn in Portland. Our members have listed over 1,000 skills.
HelpWith helps you monetize the skills you have and empower people in your community, helping your neighbors and local small businesses. We have removed a lot of the complexity involved in freelancing and selling your knowledge, to create an efficient and open community marketplace. Everyone has knowledge to offer, and we want to help you spread it.
As a student, use HelpWith to find someone who can help you advance your career, fix something around the house, or start a new project. As a teacher, list your skills and rates, and search through help requests in order to find community members who you can help.
We look forward to you joining our learning community at HelpWith.co!
