Introducing MomEconomy: A Barter Services App for Moms

At Momivate, we’re thrilled to introduce an exciting new idea for a mom app everyone can use: the MomEconomy app. 

This innovative app allows mothers to join MomUnity, a network of moms who gather weekly for S.M.I.L.E. (Supporting Moms In Life and Empowerment) meetups. These gatherings are more than just social events—they’re opportunities to connect, share, and empower each other.

But the MomEconomy app isn’t just about community-building. It’s a barter services app that helps you meet your needs and develop self-reliance without using traditional money.

A barter services app lets you exchange goods and services directly without using cash. Instead of paying with money, you can offer your skills, services, or products in exchange for what you need.

In the MomEconomy app, you can trade based on mutual needs and agreed-upon values. Instead of traditional currency, you use MomUnits—a virtual currency you earn by offering your services to others within the community.

Here’s an example of MomEconomy in action:

• Mary is a hairdresser who offers her services in the MomEconomy app, but instead of cash, she accepts MomUnits. The app tracks her balance, so she can easily see how much she’s earned.

• Mary’s daughter needs piano lessons, so she finds Jane, a piano teacher who accepts MomUnits.

• Jane, busy preparing for her son’s birthday, needs a cake decorator. She connects with Andrea, a fellow mom who is a talented cake decorator and accepts MomUnits for her work.

• Andrea needs a haircut, so she uses the app to find Mary and pays with MomUnits for the service.

The best way to earn MomUnits is by offering your services in the MomEconomy app.

Do you teach piano? Are you an interior designer? A nail technician? A pro at clothing alterations? You can start earning MomUnits immediately by offering your skills and connecting with other moms who need them.

You can also earn MomUnits by attending S.M.I.L.E. gatherings. Not only will you become part of a close-knit, supportive community, but participating in these meetups will also earn you rewards.

By offering your services and engaging with the community, you’ll be compensated for your skills and efforts while helping to grow the MomEconomy.

Imagine a future where businesses—especially those that support mothers—can donate goods and services to MomUnity. These donations would be distributed to MomUnity Members in exchange for MomUnits.

This exchange would create a thriving, mutually beneficial ecosystem where both businesses and moms can exchange value.

In the long term, we envision businesses accepting MomUnits as a form of payment, giving moms a convenient way to access the products and services they need. 

In return, businesses could redeem their MomUnits for donations or tax credits—revolutionizing the way we support each other.

MomEconomy is a useful mom app that has the potential to go viral and become a self-sustaining platform. It will help moms meet their educational, financial, and time-management needs through skills exchange and a mom-centered economy.

We need YOU to tell us you’re interested in this app, so we can get it funded and developed. If you think you would use the MomEconomy app, join the list.

We are eager to connect with the right partners to bring this idea to life. Can you help us? Contact us to offer your skills and resources.
