I actually found Simbi through a Facebook ad! Normally I ignore ads in my news feed, but I felt drawn to this ad and actually ended up sharing it with my friends and coworkers! Simbi is so unique and different from the typical marketing system. I feel like it’s the start of a whole new way of life that focuses on working together and exchanging our own unique talents for other’s own unique talents. In my opinion, that’s how the world should be. I absolutely LOVE the concept of providing and receiving services without having money involved.
With Simbi, it’s so easy for real friendships to form from business deals. There’s so much communication, it’s easy to walk out of a business deal with a new friend and great business connection (which, might I add, has never happened for me before)! Presently, I am helping someone with proof reading their website and online store. While working on this project, I’ve made wonderful conversation with this person and have found we have so much in common! We’re Facebook friends now to say the least! This person quickly went from business partner, to a great new friend and I have Simbi to thank for that- from business to friendship!
Apart from completing other people’s requests, I am also able to easily find connections to help in my own requests! A few days ago I posted a request looking for people to help me learn new things along my spiritual journey. Within hours I received about 5 or 6 responses which was way more than I was expecting! I’m going to be receiving coaching from several people now; some professionals in that specific area, and it won’t be costing me a cent. There’s just no way I could receive this amount of coaching without a physical cost outside of Simbi, let alone I wouldn’t even know the first place to start looking to find them.
As far as what I would like to achieve using Simbi, I really just want to grow as a person. This platform gives me an opportunity to help people while also helping myself and getting educated. There is a really big community here that is willing to teach, so if there is anything you’ve ever wanted to learn, you’re more than likely going to find someone that is offering it. If by the off chance no one is offering, it’s just as easy to put in a request and have those people come to you.
I’ve come to learn Simbi isn’t just a place to market your services without the use of money, but it’s a really incredible place to gain strong business connections, form wonderful relationships, as well as gain an education and service you wouldn’t normally be able to receive – especially not for free. With Simbi, I am able to receive services I normally wouldn’t be able to afford out in the real world. I’m so thankful I found this service while scrolling through my Facebook news feed because in more ways than one, it’s changing my life in such a positive way. I can really see this platform being the start of something much bigger.
Thank you for everything, Simbi!
