The Problem We're Solving

Traditional freelance platforms take 20-30% of your earnings in fees.

High Platform Fees

As freelancers, we all face the same frustrating reality: We need professional services to grow our businesses, but we're often short on cash because we're still growing. Meanwhile, platforms like Fiverr and Upwork take 20-30% of our hard-earned money in fees.

20-30% of earnings lost to fees

Thousands of dollars that could have gone toward growing your business

Cash Flow Limitations

Even when you have valuable skills to offer, you may still struggle to access the services you need due to cash flow limitations. This creates a situation where skills and talent can't be exchanged efficiently because of money barriers.

Limited growth opportunities

Unable to access needed professional services due to cash constraints

Our Token-Based Business Model

A revolutionary approach to freelance marketplaces where skills become currency

Token Economy

Users earn and spend tokens by providing and purchasing services, creating a closed economy with no middlemen fees.

Free Basic Platform

The basic platform is completely free to use - offer and purchase gigs without ever spending real money.

Why I'm Building This

I'm not a venture-backed start-up founder with millions in funding. I'm a freelancer just like you. Last year, I traded web development work with a designer friend because neither of us could afford to pay each other. That trade was more valuable than money — it helped both our businesses grow when cash was tight.

Skill-Swap aims to scale these mutually beneficial exchanges to a global marketplace, creating a community where skills, not capital, determine what you can access.

I've been there myself: As a freelance developer, I've watched thousands of pounds disappear to platform fees. One month, I calculated that I'd paid over £400 in fees – money that could have gone toward hiring a designer to create the brand identity I desperately needed.

With your support, we can create a platform that prioritizes talent over transaction fees and builds a truly collaborative freelance economy.
