What is Ask Others?

Ask Others is the social media platform for getting things done. You can post a need you have or respond to someone else’s post. Do you need to borrow someone’s truck to haul a piece of furniture? Do you need someone’s design expertise to design your landscaping? Are you in the market for a used car for your teenager? Are you looking for a group of volunteers? Whatever you need, let others know about it. On Ask Others ask questions, clarify expectations, negotiate terms, pay and be paid, build your profile, and rate your experience.

Why use Ask Others?

Posting on this website is a convenient way to tell others about the tasks you need completed or the items you need to buy or borrow. You can even organize a group of volunteers if that’s what you need. On the other side of the coin, this website is a great way to help other people, to get rid of the things you no longer need, and to make some money on the side.
