get the word out about a fledging new San Francisco Bay Area business that provides a triple way to do good?
That’s what Joan Stewart, The Publicity Hound with over 30,000 avid newsletter subscribers, is asking people on my behalf. If you just want to get two newsletters on what I broadly dub "outreach", I recommend this one and Marcia Yudkin's.
Even though you seem to prefer sending me emails rather than commenting here, this time you might want to share your ideas here and at Joan’s idea-packed blog.
Here's a bit about LaborFair ...
Find Reputable Household Help Faster Whilst Doing Good
Those seeking work for a fair wage and ready-to-hire people can find each other, using the first online, direct person-to-person, job referral community - LaborFair.com.
Find reliable household help quickly, using the first online, direct person-to-person, job referral community - LaborFair.com.
Because LaborFair.com provides worker profiles, photos, references and reviews, ready-to-hire consumers can find the right, reliable person they need faster than on other sites, such as Craig’s List. Further, once they find a likely candidate to hire, consumers can click to contact someone directly by email or mobile phone.
But it gets better.
Good workers can get more jobs and build their reputation through the online reviews they receive from people like you. They can stop papering neighborhoods with promo flyers or going through agencies that take a chunk of their pay.
Thus, with LaborFair, those on the lower rungs of the economic ladder can work their way up to a better way of life.
In collaboration with worker centers, collectives, and worker coops, microfinance institutions and faith-based organizations LaborFair.com is creating a growing network of community organizations to provide people with more training, then listed on the site.
Think of LaborFair as an eBay for household services with fair trade built into the business.
See LaborFair as a triple “do good” business – good alternative for ready-to-hire consumers, good for quality workers and good for keeping a local economy thriving.
Hire a worker and change a life.
Like FreePledge, Juma Ventures, Enterprising Kitchen, zaadz, Longfellow Clubs, Ideal Bite and Hinda Incentives, LaborFair is dedicated to making the world better as it makes money.
These companies are introducing innovative and efficient ways to “do good.” And they’ve captured the interest of two very successful Bay Area entrepreneurs who are avid supporters of such ventures: Jeff Skoll and Pierre Omidyar.
