How it works
DaveZillion improves your life by connecting you with people in your area who you can team up with in order to get stuff done.
Once upon a time, people helped each other get simple and sometimes not so simple things done. You may have helped a friend, a family member or even someone from the neighborhood with a simple task that required an extra set of hands.
What does this mean to you? It means you spend months waiting for the right time to move a massive floor-unit TV and hang a new flat-screen television on the wall; or ripping the vinyl liner to your in-ground pool because you had no one to help you pull the cover over during closing; or struggling to put up a basketball hoop in your driveway by yourself; or even worse - injuring yourself because you tried to take on a two-person project all by yourself. No matter what the circumstances were, now that project remains unfinished and you feel unproductive and annoyed.
With Davezillion, these problems are avoided. It's time to team up with someone in your area and begin building your own network of people, giving a hand and getting a hand - all in the name of getting stuff done.
In addition to project criteria and mile radius searches, you are able filter your search to an even greater level by selecting the professional trade or industry of the person who needs a hand. Sometimes DaveZillion members help with projects based on professional trade because it's a great time to talk shop with people in the same profession or ask advice from someone in a totally different industry. Getting a hand and giving a hand all evens out - so no payments please!
DaveZillion is the perfect online community for you even if you're a person who doesn't like asking for help. Why? Because it all evens out; someone that gives you a hand will also need a hand from you at some point. If you work well together, you can add each other to your own network so that you are there for each other for future projects.
To post a project, simply use the drop-down categories to categorize what needs to be done and provide any additional explanation in the text box below. You can edit your 'get a hand' postings at anytime. Once you post a project, DaveZillion members will be able to search based on the criteria that you indicated. You will correspond with DaveZillion members through your own personal message center allowing your personal information to remain private until you decide to share. Your message center will be used to coordinate times and dates within the DaveZillion platform.
Additionally, for those larger projects where professional know-how is needed, you are able to indicate on your posting if you would like to receive estimates and communication from an appropriately skilled contractor or moonlighter. Solicitations from professionals and moonlighters will only occur if you select that option and will appear in a separate inbox within your personal message center.
Getting a hand and giving a hand all evens out - so no payments please! If you choose to use a professional or moonlighter, you should negotiate price on your own, as you normally do.
The following are some examples of ways to network. No matter what combination of people end up in your network, you will have the ability to manage your network, group people as it makes sense to you and create multiple networks.

Once upon a time, people helped each other get simple and sometimes not so simple things done. You may have helped a friend, a family member or even someone from the neighborhood with a simple task that required an extra set of hands.
Nowadays, it's tougher to find that extra set of hands:
- Friends have their own families and their own schedules
- Fewer people put in the traditional 9-to-5 workday, making it harder to align schedules
- Family members live too far away for timely help
- Neighbor's are great, but it's hard to catch them on the fly
- You are tired of spending money on professionals to perform work that you and a friend once accomplished in just a couple of hours on a Saturday morning
