We'd like to tell you about a unique, innovative and powerful
platform that were building that monetizes social profiles, without the need
for advertising, sponsorship or subscriptions.
Introducing the Atlas of Us…
Our platform is based on two “standard models” employed by
many successful social network services (SNS) and advertising networks that are
in use today. The third element – the ‘glue’ – is the FORM to bring these
two models together.
The first standard model is VANITY.
We take advantage of the many people who are wanting to
“seen” on their, street, city, state or even country they reside. This
could be to promote their face, their name, their social/online brand, their
latest photo, wall post, tweet, check-in or blog entry. As we know – the
80/20 rule applies across SNS’s today and, give or take, around 20% of the
active user bases on major SNS’s today generate 80% of the UGC and ‘social
noise’. These are users that are generally more vain than their peers –
the ones that constantly tweet, update, post photos of their last night out,
the new handbag or watch and generally are more narcissistic than others.
The bottom line is, that without these types of people, there wouldn’t be the
amount of UGC we have today on our SNS’s.
The second standard model is a NATURAL MARKET.
We combine the first ‘vanity / been seen’ model with another
model that we all know works – the ‘natural market’ or ‘auction system’,
similar to the one employed by Google Adwords – where brands pay more than the
next to ensure their paid search results appears higher and are seen (and
clicked) more – to form a compelling, and market driven monetization
mechanism. The result is that those people who want to be seen, only pay
to be seen. But, when there is a competitive environment – where more
than one person wants to promote themselves over the other, then we have a
natural market scenario. Not all have to pay, and not all will.
Payment doesn't need to be in the way of cash, it can be other currencies as
well – this is up to you, and how you want to use it.
The glue – the FORM.
To enable both of these standard models to work effectively
and in unison, we’ve come up with a very unique, very compelling, but extremely
simple, unique “FORM”. The form – or how the profiles are presented
within the interface (browser or app) is the key and the main USP of the
system. This unique form that we’ve developed uses a combination of
geo-centric restrictions and a natural market mechanism to achieve these goals,
a bit like the world in which we live. The world isn’t flat – and
therefore neither should our social network be...
What seems like a very simple concept (once you’ve seen it)
has taken us about 3 years of development and a lot of thought to create.
So, as you can imagine, we want to protect it was much as
possible so we’re not at liberty to say more than this (without giving away the
farm), but would like to have a call to see if you’re interested, and if so, to
get a watertight NDA in place before we give you a demo of what we have.
