25.01.2022 A magazine that has been created by Smarter Barter members is finding it's straps, but only because we are all on the same wavelength, a common understanding that only comes with folk that understand how trade works to connect like minded people with synergy. Brace yourselves, and keep an open mind.

18.01.2022 With the current lockdown I thought it would be timely to spend some time on trade. A year ago, we purchased the domain campbelltowndollar.com.au and penrithdollar.com.au to create separate currencies to encourage businesses within these geographical regions to trade exclusively. The biggest hurdle we've encountered over the years during good times is the lack of time SME's have to look outside the immediate cash World for new customers, and alternate ways to spend this new c...urrency. Historically, people turn to trading services and products during times of hardship,and in these troubled times we can help deliver extra customers and together we can grow the base to increase fellow traders where you can spend this 'currency'. Also, if you're in the Macarthur region and your industry hasn't been already been taken by an advertiser, you can advertise to the entire Macarthur business community in print and online with one member's B2B Magazine, lovingly named after us, at www.smartermacarthur.com.au If you'd like to give it a go, you'll have to 1) talk to one business contact, and get them to join. 2) your trade balance will be visible to fellow traders to allow those to see where they can spend their trade, promoting 'thinking outside the square'. Everything will be transparent, if you want to trade comment below "I'm In"! Stay safe and strong

16.01.2022 Would you be happy to join a localized economy where the price of admission is to join with a business friend/acquaintance, and your trade balance is visible to all other traders?

15.01.2022 Christian Fox Accountants in Ingleburn are looking for 2 new customers offering 100% trade. Tip: changing your accountant is an important decision, but if you don't feel like your accountant is looking after you like they did at the start, a chat with Andre will be a positive move, be quick though! Smarter Barter has established suppliers for Christian Fox to spend their trade income from 2 new trade customers. Everything in balance :)

14.01.2022 If you're in Smeaton Grange, Narellan or Camden, this may be of interest.

14.01.2022 Latest edition #10, without this magazine and the Smarter Barter Dollars it has generated to balance out the economy that was raped by 60 low life businesses around Sydney, Smarter Barter would have gone to way of virtually every other B2B barter exchange over the last few years, and imploded. Smarter Barter is now the strongest business barter economy in Australia in relation to it's positive accounts and negative accounts balancing, but it is the least trade co-ordinated. Can you guess why?

11.01.2022 In 2 weeks, the 10th edition of Smarter Macarthur will be published. In 3 weeks, we will start to divide Western Sydney into 2 separate currencies, one North and the other South. Members in Sydney geographically outside these regions who have positive balances will be prioritised to spend when products and services become available within these 2 regions, conversely members with a negative balance will be required to offer their products and services to all members in Sydney. This will require software development that will be started as a priority.

10.01.2022 5 years ago a few members of Smarter Barter met and decided to start a B2B magazine for various individual and collective reasons. In the cash world, this wouldn't have been possible, greed and egos would have clashed and hindered growth. 250,000 words later, 100+ feature articles, the magazine has covered all cash costs and gone into profit, contra profit, T$74K profit to almost balance the Smarter Barter economy, and now we have a website that will greatly value add to all ...advertisers, and drive increasing traffic in Australia's fastest growing business community. 5 years ago I had no choice but to stop pro-actively growing the Smarter Barter membership. There were about 80 honest and reliable traders, but about 60 had destroyed the economy by spending a line of credit, but refusing to pay it back. Thank you for your patience if you are one of the 60 or so members outside the Macarthur region, I know how to set barter up perfectly now and this will be my next project. To the 27 Smarter Barter members located within Macarthur who have backed us by advertising in the magazine paying with your surplus trade accounts, you'll find your business listed in the Smarter Directory on the new website, as well as all articles.

09.01.2022 Aristotle has been a Smarter Barter member for 8 years and has a wonderful cafe in Moorebank. He also offers serviced catering that has been very popular with member's functions whereby Smarter Barter has organised evenings at businesses for evenings of fun, networking and trading amongst fellow members. Tip: If you'd like to showcase your business, Smarter Barter can organise it for you, invite your cash and trade suppliers, prospects, neighbouring businesses etc, you won't believe how effective it is :)

07.01.2022 In a few weeks, we'll be launching a new project that leverages off all our Principals and trading partners in Smarter Barter and Smarter Macarthur B2B Magazine to directly action the clear and present danger of Covid 19 to us all.

06.01.2022 We're getting closer to something we are confident will benefit all traders with positive attitudes, and a willingness to treat trade as at least an equal to cash. There are a high % of members who belong to other barter exchanges and we would suggest to start considering our next development differently, and remember this is a cash free system. For over 13 years our mission has solely to learn how to create the fairest and efficient alternate currency community (pl), so please excuse our focus on the ethical integration of all, and the rejection of those who have understandably been used to paying for providers to do their beckoning. Time for a 180 degree in conscience and ethics :)

06.01.2022 UPDATE: All new applications for membership outside the Campbelltown to Macquarie Fields region will be recorded but not activated. Applications from businesses located within the parameters of the attached map will be activated subject to conditions of; 1) 2 known businesses joining together... 2) Agreement to accept fully transparent account balances to all other members within the region.

05.01.2022 The 10th edition of the magazine delivered, it's been a 5 year education in building a business with no previous experience, and all by Smarter Barter members working as a collective. It's hard to describe the quality of the paper when online you can only show them an image, but the magazine weighs twice a normal one, has outer cover at 200gsm, and looks world class. Just goes to show what's possible when you take cash out of the equation

03.01.2022 Smell The Roses During times of drought, conflict or recession, throughout history there are examples of people turning to barter. When money is scarce or of little value, people instinctively start trading their produce or skills for things they need to survive. The need for food, clothing and other essentials previously taken for granted, is now shared and understood, resulting in stronger community support and spirit. One unique example is Cuba. With the collapse of the So...Continue reading

01.01.2022 Please be advised Smarter Barter will no longer accept new members who are currently members of other barter exchanges. Because we do not charge any cash fees, our focus is on the integrity of member businesses trading in a fair and courteous manner, and unfortunately the vast majority of members from other exchanges do not have these attributes. Thank you
