TRADING IDEAS.
Trading services
Not everyone trades goods. Some members trade services. Services currently on offer include childcare, pick-ups and deliveries, home maintenance,
bookkeeping, looking after pets, and much more. When a member begins trading services they often have a flier or business card to hand out. These are often paper ones made up on a home computer or a photocopier. You are not expected to go to enormous expense to advertise your services or goods. Services are also listed for free in the Offers section on the Twin Lakes LETS website (http://twinlakeslets.weebly.com/log-in.html). You can list your services there yourself and look up other members' Offers of goods and services.
You don't need to sell before you buy. A few people who join LETS never trade because they believe they have to sell something before they can buy something. This is not true. As soon as you buy something you simply go into what we call "commitment". Your balance goes up and down as you buy and sell. You can buy something as soon as you join Twin Lakes LETS. Some people join at a Trade Day and start trading as soon as they have paid their fees and completed the paperwork. Even if you didn't join at a Trade Day you can start trading today. Go to and the password issued to you by email. List your Wants and look at the Offers. The instructions for how to list and trade via the website are on the website.
Working Bees.
We encourage working bees, where a number of members help another member, with help with things like gardening, painting your house, or any other thing that you may wish to have help with, With working bees there is a flat rate of 24 Brass Razoo's per hour per person that helps in that working bee.
