The
winter holidays are many things to many people, yet he root of all
the celebrations is the same: the hope and the wish for a new start,
new life, and new ideas as the days start to get longer again (at
least on the northern hemisphere of Earth) and Spring will come.
Light in any form plays a big role and bringing nature into the
house. For many, January 1 also marks the beginning of a new year.
And with this one of the traditions is the making of New Year's resolutions. This
tradition dates back to the early Babylonians some 4000 years ago
when the most popular resolution was to return farm equipment. We
promise to lose weight, start a new career or start doing something
we really enjoy and we are really good at. And GenieTown is
the perfect place to do just that. The Babylonians had a large clan
and neighbors to help with all sorts of tasks, today we need an
online marketplace to find and to offer services.
So
what’s new at GenieTown?
At
GenieTown we celebrate by working on the next release that will bring
exciting new features. The most important one is perfect for your New
Year’s resolution: Become a Genie. Yes – YOU. You may
need a contractor to remodel your kitchen and a handyman to work on
items on your Honey-Do list but at the same time you have the inner
drive, the compassion, the urge to install other people’s
computers. Everyone in your family already has been subjected to your
services and you are looking for new targets. And eventually getting
compensated for your services not only makes it even more enjoyable
and justifiable, it also raises the perceived value of your services
dramatically.
At
GenieTown we understand that everyone has something to offer and the
next release of GenieTown will allow you to become a Genie in one
field of expertise while requesting services in another area. And
just because you know how to play the trumpet does not mean you can
or want to fix the copper pipes under the sink. With GenieTown you no
longer need to look for a plumber who wants trumpet lessons. You
offer your services to help people figure out if a trumpet is the
right instrument for them (you know it is, everyone should play
trumpet) on GenieTown and people are happy to pay for your advice –
which you would have given for free anyway if only someone listens…
and you find a trusted, reliable plumber who gets the job done
without the whole thing ending on a sour note.
Now
is the time to register on GenieTown as a customer and as a Genie –
and if you are already registered, make sure you complete your
profile with all the services you can offer while waiting for the
plumber. Up to now you were either a Genie or a customer. We
understood that everyone can be a Genie and we adapted the service
accordingly and everyone is a Genie in his or her own rights in
addition to being a customer.
We
are always looking for unique and exciting Genie capabilities that
only you can offer and nobody else. After you completed your
GenieTown profile, send us a quick note and we take a look. From time
to time we will feature the best on the homepage.
So
here’s a New Year’s resolution you can actually
accomplish: become a Genie.
