Been having this idea on my mind to build a site to have items or services traded for other items or services. So to start, I did a couple of research online for sites that has the same theme. There are a few and sites was either not user friendly not done at all.

Before I dwell into another journey (go all-in), I'd like to have some confirmation first from the audience so I can avoid further pain and loss.

What did I do?
1. Created a Facebook Page - Business page at first but I changed it to a Community later on.
2. Went to Fiverr - created a fun little video clip for a small amount of $.
3. In the FB Page - wrote some terms and condition and a how-to post.
4. Went to Canva - created a banner and logo for free.
5. Created one post that offers an item - will have friends help out and post some of theirs.
6. Posted the 19 sec video in the FB Page.
7. Run FB Ad - promoted the page (run for a week), I can pause and adjust if needed.

Now, I'm gonna wait for a couple of days to see whether there is a demand for this. If there is, then I'll proceed with the all-in plan.
