5. Do a skills swap!
Are you a copywriter that wants to learn marketing? Or perhaps an illustrator that wants to learn more about coding? We saw a huge increase in skills swapping last year, and we can only see them becoming more popular this year. Simply post a call-out on our Asks hub, tag relevant professions and hopefully you’ll find someone great to swap skills and knowledge with.
Top tip: Before you post the Ask, connect with people that have the profession of what you’re looking to learn, to increase the chances of your call-out being seen.
– Search and connect with people here (use the professions filter)
