The Next Thing is a free, Friends-only marketplace for things from around the home. Verified Friends can browse listings, view photos and seller details, and contact sellers directly. Verified Friends with a free account can also create listings.

Free accounts can add one photo and Pro accounts can add up to three. Listings expire after seven days; Pro sellers can extend them up to 30 days. The map shows only an approximate city area—never an address or pickup point. Sellers share pickup details privately after choosing a buyer.

Our Friends Hub is exclusively for verified members of our close-knit community of friends. All listings go through a verification process to ensure authenticity.

During signup, you'll answer a simple Bible-based question that confirms your membership in our community. This quick step helps maintain the trust and integrity that makes Our Friends Hub special.

We offer two plans: Starter (Free) includes a short tagline, 1 photo, 1 contact method, 1 badge, and 1 search tag. Pro ($5/mo) includes extended tagline, all contact methods, up to 10 photos, 6 badges, 15 tags, analytics, and priority placement. A Pioneer discount is available for full-time servants.

📸 Upload high-quality photos showing your work — listings with photos get more attention. 🏅 Use all 6 highlight badges to showcase what makes you unique (licensed, insured, experience, etc.). 🔍 Add up to 15 search tags with keywords customers might use to find you. ✍️ Write a compelling 150-character tagline that clearly explains what you offer. 📱 Add all your contact methods (phone, email, website) so customers can reach you easily. 📊 Check your analytics dashboard regularly to see how your listing is performing.

When you add a cover image to your listing, you can choose how it displays: 'Fill' crops your image to fill the entire card area - this looks cleaner but may cut off edges of your image. 'Contain' shows your entire image without cropping - this preserves your full image but may show background space on the sides. Choose 'Fill' for photos that look good cropped, or 'Contain' for logos and images where you need to show the complete picture.

Log in to your dashboard, find your business listing, and click 'Edit' to update your information, photos, or services.

Yes, you can cancel your Pro subscription at any time from your dashboard. Your listing will convert to a Starter (free) listing at the end of your billing period.
