There might be little luck for most low-income workers chasing cheap flats to rent, but that doesn`t put off netizen Susie Gao - in return for a

home, she is offering knowledge.

Gao posted a message on Chinese classified website ganji.com on Sept 27, stating that she wants a room and is willing to teach the subjects of

Chinese and geography in return.

Gao, in her 20s and an employee of the hotel industry, is one of numerous city dwellers wanting to exchange skills over the Internet.

According to Wang Jing, a spokeswoman for ganji.com, the site sees about 50 new posts daily for "skill trading" in Beijing. "Among them, Haidian

and Chaoyang districts contribute the most," she said. "Foreign languages and computer skills are the most popular."

One day after she posted her advert, Gao received a call from a man who claimed he had a room in his two-bedroom apartment in Daxing district.

The location of the flat was far from Gao`s workplace, but this wasn`t why she turned it down.

As with all online connections, safety is a top priority. Ganji.com spokeswoman Wang warned skill exchange participators to verify each other`s

identities in order to avoid being deceived.

She also suggested not transferring money into a stranger`s account and never to go alone to an unfamiliar place.
