Selling your services by the hour

Now here's an idea. This site, http://www.peopleperhour.com/, allows you to offer your services to carry out particular tasks at a specified hourly rate. Alternatively, you can buy those services from others. Not surprisingly, the most popular services on offer at the moment are those that can be provided virtually, like graphic design or coding, but currently no-ones extending this to learning technologies.

So, what could you buy or sell remotely by the hour:
  • analysing a performance requirement?
  • proposing a blended solution?
  • recommending products / vendors?
  • scripting a narration?
  • designing a simple scenario?
  • preparing a quiz?
  • post-producing a podcast or video?
  • professionalising a slide show?

I'll stop there, because there's no end to this list.

This type of offering is genuinely co-operative. You have specialist help to offer. You need specialist help to get your own work done. It's what makes the world goes round.
