They will be using cryptocurrency man so that will be a kind of different. But you are right the idea is great, its like a one-stop general merchandise  in cryptocurrency but it will take a lot to reach it all. I wonder if they will be conducting ICO for this project too to raise fund because I’ve seen some ICO’s about projects related to this but not as a whole like home repairs and carpentry offers, plumbers and electricians but not general services. There was one Russian project that conducted ICO also similar to this, but they also have real estate, dating sites, restaurants and also services offered. Well,  Good luck to this project if they’ll be successful.

I'm pretty sure there's a reason there isn't one website that offers all these things. You need a massive, and then i mean a massive userbase for this.
But websites where you can hire carpenters & cleaners, well they do exist. CL etc.
Also, ever heard of Uber or Lyft? I sincerely doubt you can compete with them in the transport sector.

And.. a task for mowing your lawn? Again, you'd have to have a massive and specialized userbase before those kinds of offers make sense imo. And without a lot of capital, i don't see how you can get there. (Not to mention as to whether or not people actually want such a service.)

I've had an idea for the longest time about creating a service where people can buy and exchange services. The idea doesn't sound all that complex but I've actually done a lot of research and tried to find services in a practical sense and it's actually quite a tough market. I've found the current market to be far too limited in scope and availability. That's why I've created a new company and invested hundreds of hours into creating a new website where people will be able to offer and buy services online.

The problem I've always found with getting services online is how fractured the market is. When it comes to providing goods, the internet is brilliant. There's the choice of Amazon, eBay, various other online stores. You're able to easily find and sell goods. When you go to find services there's websites like Fiverr, Freelancer then forums like BitcoinTalk and the lot. It's not exactly easy to find a simple marketplace where you can offer the services of your choice and pricing.

I've included Fiverr as a good benchmark of what they offer versus my own idea. Fiverr is a pretty reliable website if you're simply wanting some online services like graphic design. The amount of categories they can offer is limited by the way it is simply designed. It's designed for not much more than graphic design, copywriting or video editing. The pricing structure is pretty narrow and the fees are exorbitant. You're looking at a 20% fee ($1) on a $5 purchase and that's just as the buyer. The seller also has to pay a fee as well. Why should they be getting $2 in fees from just a $5 sale?

My idea has been to create a marketplace where anyone can offer the services they want. The purpose is to simply be a platform to conduct the exchange of services. What the seller and buyer wants is up to them. It's not simply limited to online things like graphics, copywriting and other mere online tasks. It can be expanded to offline services like taxiing, transport, house maintenance. For example if you want a kid to come mow your lawns, you can put up a tender for the equivalent of $20 and they can accept or negotiate the price, once they do the work the money is released to them and you can give feedback. The same idea applies for all services done on the website. It's simply presented in a template like this:
