Zaarly - Have you heard of it?


Okay, so I'm a pretty big nerd, but! I stumbled across something pretty cool because of a group project I'm doing at school.

 Have you guys heard of Zaarly? 

It's sort of like a Craigslist or Ebay only it's reversed. Say you want to have someone weed your garden, or pick up something from the liquor store for you, or you've been hunting for a sailboat, or you need someone to do your laundry or assemble that complicated Ikea wardrobe - Zaarly is your solution. You post your request and the amount of money you're willing to pay and then people in your area can choose to provide that service for you. Yeah...I may have gone a little bit Zaarly crazy. They should probably pay me for marketing for them because I've become their new biggest fan. We just need more people to use it so the results can move a bit more quickly! Tell people about this thing! 

PLUS - think how awesome this would have been in college. It's hard to juggle a consistent part time job with classes. This would allow people to earn their spending money on a task by task basis. 

I think this platform has SERIOUS potential.

I'm the Reason Marketing Makes Millions

Philosophy Falling in Love Body Lotion, 16 OuncePhilosophy Hope in a Jar Daily Moisturizer, All Skin Types, 2 Ounce
This morning the Today Show had a special on Philosophy Products - something to the effect of 5 different things for $30 when the typical price for one is $30. Needless to say, I jumped at the chance! I just love their sayings and their products are so nice. Hope in a Jar is the most lightweight moisturizer ever and Falling in Love smells like heaven. By far my favorites. I'm such a sucker! Do you have something you just can't say no to?
