Rentoid blog

If you have been keeping an eye on the “Recently Wanted List” on the rentoid homepage recently, you will have noticed that there are plenty of folks looking to rent heaters at the moment.

No surprising really- with top temp’s around the country barely making it into double digits and cold breath and crunchy grass making a comeback.

Lesson number one for rentoid members: if your have a spare heater, get it listed, make the most of the opportunity and make some cash.

Lesson number two for all “rentrepreneurs”: Keep a keen eye on our Recently Wanted List- opportunities abound for you to make some great money.

And if you have a great story about how you have used our Most Wanted List, we’d love to hear it, blog it and share it.

Stay Warm!

In a recent Smart Company article rentoid.com was featured alongside Zappos, Virgin Blue and Atlassian. Which is quite a nice compliment.

The article was all about having a culture with essentially human values. Which our rentoid members know we are all about being real. The article is worth a read and features our Chief Rental Guru Shannon Cooper and has some good tips for any company or small business.

We’ve recently discovered at our humble rentoid office about the uber intelligent Rachel Botsman. She’s co-author of new book “What’s mine is yours” - the rise of collaborative consumption. Which is well, really the movement we’ve been promoting since rentoid’s inception. We’ll talk more about it in the coming weeks. But here’s a great little video to whet the appetite.

We thought this piece from John Stewart was really great. He’s kind of like, well he is one of our heroes here at rentoid. We’re lucky to have people like him. Invest the 7 minutes in watching this. It’s worth every second.

Here’s what we think. The only real change that have ever occurred for humans has been driven by entrepreneurs providing better solutions. So let’s not wait for governments (we’ll be waiting a while) and create our own future.

Cheers, rentoid team
