Live-video skill marketplace

If you know it, sell it.

Hereknows is where anyone can teach what they know over a live video call, and anyone can learn it, or get it fixed, paying only for the minutes they use.

Anyone. Anything.

Everyone knows something somebody will pay to learn.

Guitar at nine, spreadsheets at ten, Arabic over lunch, a washing machine that will not drain at six. Hereknows lists 795 skills in 30 categories, from cooking to code, and if yours is missing you add it in a tap.

How it works

A teacher in every pocket.

01

Find someone who knows

Search a skill or describe the problem. See who teaches it, where they are, which languages they speak and whether they are online right now.

02

Talk live, on video

Book a time or start straight away. The call runs inside the app, camera on or voice only, and no phone numbers change hands.

03

Pay for the minutes you used

The amount is held when you book and settled when the call ends. Finished early? You pay for the time used, down to the helper's minimum.

The Hereknows search screen listing a person who teaches small appliance repair, with Profile, Message and Request buttons.

Urgent help

Stuck right now? Ask.

01

Say what is wrong

Type the problem, pick video or voice, set a budget per hour, and choose who should hear it: a country, a language, licensed professionals only.

02

The people who know get a ping

Helpers who teach that skill are notified at once. The first to say yes ends the wait.

03

Pick from the best five

You see up to five helpers, ranked by skill, how close they are, their rating and the languages you share. Choose one and the call starts.

04

Not solved? Send it again

One tap sends the same request back out to new helpers. The one you just spoke to is left off the list.

The Hereknows urgent request form with a skill picker, a problem description, a video or audio choice and a budget per hour.

For sellers

Set your rate. Keep your hours.

01

List what you teach

A title, what happens in a session, a price per hour, and the shortest and longest session you take. One-off, weekly or daily. Live in two minutes, with no approval queue.

02

Show who you are

Your profile carries your ID ticks, your languages, the skills you can help with, an intro video and up to five photos of your work.

03

Get paid when the call ends

The buyer's money is held when a session is booked and settled to you when it ends. Take urgent calls as well, or switch them off.

The Hereknows new listing form with a skill, a title, a session type and an hourly rate.

Who sells

A baker, a guitarist, the one who fixes washing machines.

Most skills never reach a classroom. Someone learnt them the hard way and would gladly show you for half an hour. Hereknows gives that person a way to be found, and a way to be paid.

Five people teaching over video: a baker, an appliance technician holding a phone, a guitarist, a language teacher at a laptop and an oud player.

The film

Twenty-five seconds, start to finish.

From a typed request to a helper on the line and a settled bill.

Trust

Built so strangers can trust each other.

  • Everyone is ID-checked

    Phone, email, a live selfie and a government ID before anyone can book, sell or take an urgent call. Only the result is kept.

  • Every call is recorded

    Recordings are kept for 30 days for safety and disputes, then deleted.

  • Five days to raise a dispute

    Not what was promised? Tell us within five days and we check the recording.

  • Licensed means checked

    Skills that need a licence, from counselling to electrical work, show a verified badge once we have seen the document.

Hereknows is for adults. Every account is checked to be 18 or over.
