ShareMyBiz (SMB) is a commerce website that allows everyone, even 3rd World cell phone users, to begin earning into the global Internet economy. We provide users with a mobile enhanced online business that includes social networking applications, games, and a personalized Cyber Shopping Mall where Users can sell affiliate products (such as from Amazon); each time a product sale is realized both SMB and the user share in the profit.
The users are rewarded with a common Internet currency; this currency may be exchanged for real goods and services, or other e-currencies. SMB as a company receives revenue from two sectors, advertising revenue (MySpace model) and from real sales made by our users (eBay model); this is a powerful combination that unlocks the commercial potential of the Internet for billions of emerging market users who may otherwise be left behind.
SMB can reach these emerging markets through our relationship with partners such as Peace Portal, Project Restoration, Transcendent Nation and the FREE DIGITAL UNIVERSE (FDU) virtual world game. SMB is under contract as the exclusive “marketing Vendor” for the FDU game where every FDU account, called an “Avatar,” is a SMB user. As Avatars earn using SMB offered applications, SMB shares in the revenue.
In order to spend and receive earnings, SMB Users are provided a private account by ePayCafe, a partner providing a common currency that anyone may exchange for products, services, or other online currencies such as PayPal, e-Gold, even virtual currencies such as 2nd Life Linden Dollars, Transcendent Nation “Kundals”, or World of Warcraft Gold.
Current Users
In the pre-launch stage, charitable partners aligned with SMB via Peace Portal[1], have pledged to provide our Cyber Shopping Malls to all their current users, this is a significant number.
Beyond currently pledged users, there are (June 2008) approx. one and a half billion Internet users around the world, and the number continues to grow. Every one of these users will have the ability to create wealth from their computer or cell phone by using the SMB platform.
Due to technological advances in wireless cell phone access, and donations such as One-Laptop-Per-Child computers, it is expected that over 3.5 billion new people will gain access to the Internet over the next decade. What most of these people are missing in order to participate as consumers and entrepreneurs is a system that provides the User with an online bank account, a way to earn into that account, and lastly a way to spend the earnings.
Third World Users
SMB will empower many people in third world countries who do not have a credit card or bank account. SMB will free these users from restrictions presently encountered through e-commerce sites such as eBay. Due to the viral nature of the SMB system, we will empower a new market of prime profit producing SMB users who will emerge from economically depressed countries where computer access is common, such as India, Brazil, and Russia. These users will be at a relative advantage over the users of developed countries because of the difference in cost of living as reflected in currency exchange rates.
“Africa does need debt relief from its crushing international debt burden. But aid and debt relief can only go so far. We are asking for the opportunity to compete, to sell our goods in global markets; in short we want to trade our way out of poverty.” ~ Pres. Yoweri Musuveni of Uganda
“To address poverty, economic growth is not a option: it is a necessity.” ~ Mahbub Haq, former VP of the World Bank
“The powerlessness we feel is not a sign of personal failings, but reflects the incapacities of our institutions. We need to reconstruct those we have, or create new ones, for globalization is not incidental to our lives; it is the way we live now.” ~ Anthony Giddens
“Adjustment is the necessary first step on the road to sustainable, poverty reducing growth. Even incomplete adjustment can put countries back on the road to development.” ~ International Bank for Reconstruction & Development -1994
SMB was designed to be part of the solution for the very obvious dramatic problems facing our world today. We have a excellent opportunity to become a significant player in the globalized economy by integrating a wealth of services to these emerging markets, and while meeting current market User needs by combining Anonymity, Social Networking, and Affiliate Marketing.
Global Internet usage continues to grow and is projected to reach over 3 billion people in a few years. Likewise, global e-commerce continues to grow dramatically. However, many people do not participate in e-commerce for two reasons: (1) They are concerned about privacy (loss of their personal data) and anonymity; or (2) they have no way to put money into the digital economy or even post a product on eBay for lack of a credit card. A 2006 report from Consumer Webwatch concludes that:
§ 80% of Internet users want anonymity.
§ 25% stopped buying online all together for fear of identity theft, fraud, and security breaches that leak personal information.
§ 53% of people stopped giving out personal information on the Internet.
It is reported that e-book sales are rising at a rate succeeding 100% per year (Morris Rosenthal). Kate Tentler, Publisher of Simon & Schuster Online states in Publishing Trends, “E-book growth is exponential. From month to month it can be anywhere from 50% to 70% growth over the previous year."
Corporate America spends roughly $46.5 billion per year on business information services, including subscriptions, training material, research reports, and books. The good news is, corporate content buyers are highly interested in online content. In fact, they are beginning to distain print because it cannot be shared with the global enterprise (MarketingSherpa).
Business Week Magazine states that blogs are “…simply the most explosive outbreak in the information world since the Internet itself.” Pew Internet Study estimates that there are about 50 million regular blog readers. And MSNBC reports that there are approximately 23,000 blogs created every day.
Just four years ago, when ContentBiz held its first Selling Subscriptions Summit, the entire industry was around $100 million in size. According to ComScore Networks and the Online Publisher's Organization (OPA), data released at this year's summit revealed that the industry is $1.56 billion strong (MarketingSherpa).
Music
Worldwide Internet music sales generated approximately $3.3 billion in the year 2004, according to a report by Market Tracking International (MTI). Song track sales also led to a significant shift in the overall single purchase versus subscription mix, with single purchases accounting for 15% of online content sales in 2004, compared to only 11% in 2003 (OPA).
Software – Games, Business Applications, and Web Services
According to International Data Corp. (IDC), software vendors are increasingly recognizing the need to provide end users with more options for acquiring software, including direct Internet sales and the electronic delivery of both software and licenses. IDC estimates that $2.3 billion was spent worldwide on total Internet services software in 2004, more than double the amount from the previous year. IDC expects Internet services software spending to continue to increase dramatically over the next few years, reaching approximately $14.9 billion by 2009.
Video
Sanford C. Bernstein analyst Tom Wolzien is quoted as saying "We're right at the cusp of the Internet-TV revolution." Powerhouses such as ABC, ESPN, CBS, Fox News, MTV, the BBC, Telemundo, and major league baseball are already investing in subscription and ad-supported ventures offering TV-like video online (Marketingvox).
The number of video streams increased 80.7 % in 2004, for a total of 14.2 billion streams, according to AccuStream iMedia Research. Video streams grew by 48% in 2005 to over 21 billion served. Music videos accounted for the largest share of streaming video usage in 2004, with 34 percent of total views. News and information was second.
Art
“Can a vendor profit by selling high volumes of content at an extremely inexpensive price online? By offering photo rights at just one dollar per shot, www.istockphoto.com claims to be revolutionizing the stock photo industry. Estimates suggest that they will gross at least $4,000,000 this year alone. Every year art directors and designers spend several billion dollars on stock photography” ~ MarketingSherpa.
