I decided to start doing sponsored reviews and I found a website that I feel deserves being reviewed. Switchplanet.com which is a social media trading website where it’s members can switch their old DVDs, CDs, Games, and Books with other members for free. I felt that the concept was very interesting and useful especially since it’s mission statement reflects social responsibility.
The website http://www.switchplanet.com is very easy to use and has color coded sections. You have a choice between “cloud tags” and “list views” which I think is very neat in displaying what is available. The opening page is very clear and offers an option to check out the site before joining. The website has both a forum and a blog section. In addition to all the different media, you can search for other members and groups that are in Switchplanet.
How does switchplanet work and does it cost anything? Well, I have been so impressed with Switchplanet, that I decided to become a member myself! The initial sign up process is short and easy. Now, back to the question; first, it’s FREE, and there are no fees and you can verify this by referring to the FAQ section before joining. With Switchplanet, you trade stuff you have in order to get the stuff you want. Switchplanet uses what they call switchbucs which is their internal currency and other members make use of these switchbucs when they request items you have. When items that you send are received, switchbucs are automatically credited to your account. Once you have accumulated some switchbucs, you can request items from other members. The Frequently Asked Questions section provides a lot of information should you have any questions using Switchplanet.
While sharing problems and solutions is this blogs main focus, let’s here it for Switchplanet.com for solving a big issue by using more and wasting less by trading the stuff we have for the stuff we want as quoted by Switchplanet.com. This is a sponsored review, done by Tim Beck.
