GoHuman.com may very well be the next Craigslist. GoHuman's goal was to create an online marketplace that transforms word-of-mouth reputation into an easily searchable feedback reputation service listing that is level and equal to everyone involved.
GoHuman doesn't give priority placement to those with lots of money, and takes success and attention in the service industry away from those with high marketing budgets and redistributes it among those who do great work.
On Craigslist people can find everything from an apartment, to a textbook or even a job. What sets GoHuman apart is that it focuses only on the marketplace of local “human” services. This is the site to go to for a singing coach, a mechanic, a tutor or any other “human” service.
Devon Gundry, founder and CEO of GoHuman.com, said, “The name GoHuman itself was a decision to echo a call to action that we are trying to accomplish in each local community - let's focus on the human aspect of our communities and together, foster and develop communities built on excellence and accountability.”
The site offers users the chance to create free postings to local communities. They are currently developing a widespread set of online tools, marketing resources, business services, and educational opportunities. Some of these tools will bring revenue to GoHuman and allow them to continue growing based on the needs of the community.
The front page of the website allows users to type in their zip code and connects directly to people offering services in their area. Similar to eBay once someone uses a service provider they can leave feedback so that others will know the level of quality. It's free to sign up for an account and the page is simple to navigate. Creating a posting is easier than putting together a blog and gives low budget, high quality workers the chance to make a buck. Sites like this bring back capitalism to corporate- driven America.
