Download or read book Crowd Funding Is The Greatest Con In The History Of The Human Race Or The Greatest Opportunity written by Matrix Thompson and published by Pamper Me Network. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Crowd Funding Is The Greatest Con In The History Of The Human Race or the Greatest Opportunity" is the second installment in “The Greatest Con In The History Of The Human Race" ebook series. Volume II of the ebook series focuses on the crowd funding industry and encourages individuals and small business owners to open their eyes and question the motives of anyone who is pushing the crowd funding business model. The ebook was written to educate the industry while providing the stakeholders with the tools they need to level the playing field so everyone can benefit from the rapid growth of the crowd funding industry. We wrote "Crowd Funding Is The Greatest Con In The History Of The Human Race or the Greatest Opportunity" to challenge crowd funding portals, crowd funders, donors and related stakeholders to work together to create a better global standard for crowd funding that will ensure a more equitable allocation of the abundance that crowd funding affords. The ebook examines several areas of concerns and offer up solutions. We specifically, encourage stakeholders to question the following: * Rewards-based crowd funders offer backers meaningless rewards of pre-orders of untested products in return for financial support; * Rewards-based crowd funders do not offer crowd funders a share of their future sales in return for their referrals as traditional affiliate marketing systems do; * Crowd funders hide behind the Securities regulations and use it as a reason for denying backers a share in their future success (you don’t have to give up equity in your business to reward a person for helping you—sales commissions or bonuses are just as good, if not better); * Most crowd funders lack influence and, or personal network to succeed—and crowd funding portals are not offering them assistance to enhance their campaigns chance for success; * Crowd funding portals brand crowd funding as a silver bullet that can be embraced by anyone to raise financing, when the truth is it is really hardwork; * Crowd funding portals are using crow funders to grow their brand—appropriate free labour and free content to create value for themselves. Drawing from ideas introduced in Volume I ( Social Networking Is The Greatest Con In History Or The Greatest Opportunity ), Volume II of the Greatest Con In The History Of The Human Race" ebook series is a warning. It highlights the growing disparity and unequal division of the crowd funding bounty—and how backers or donors are being persuaded to support projects for little more than meaningless, short term rewards, when history has proven that crowd funders and crowd funding portals can offer so much more. WE IDENTIFY THE PROBLEMS AND OFFER SOLUTIONS: Although the title of the ebook is provocative, "Crowd Funding Is The Greatest Con In The History Of The Human Race Or The Greatest Opportunity" is an instructional manual for crowd funders, donors and entrepreneurs. It introduces a new form of crowd funding called “Social Rewards-based” Crowd Funding or “Affiliate-Based” Crowd Funding and offers up useful advice on how crowd funders can use existing technologies to: * Share in the success of competing crowd funding campaigns; * Earn rewards & related bonuses when other crowd funders build their teams; * Recruit & reward donors & fans for supporting crowd funding projects, FOREVER; * Share in the revenues realized as crowd funding portals grow including a share of ongoing products sold; * Promote crowd funding campaign to the mass media and, or general Internet community; * Enhance donor & fan acquisition with powerful viral marketing tools. THE EBOOK SERIES IS A ROAD MAP UNVEILED IN EACH VOLUME The Greatest Con In History Or The Greatest Opportunity ebook series provides a road map that can be used by anyone to transform their own personal network into a powerful source of revenue. In Volume II of the “Greatest Con In The History Of The Human Race” ebook series you will discover secrets that will teach how Social Rewards technology and self-replicating online contest technology is revolutionizing the way crowd funding campaigns are deployed.

Download or read book Social Enterprise Law written by Dana Brakman Reiser and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social enterprises represent a new kind of venture, dedicated to pursuing profits for owners and benefits for society. Social Enterprise Law provides tools that will allow them to raise the capital they need to flourish. Social Enterprise Law weaves innovation in contract and corporate governance into powerful protections against insiders sacrificing goals such as environmental sustainability in the pursuit of short-term profits. Creating a stable balance between financial returns and public benefits will allow social entrepreneurs to team up with impact investors that share their vision of a double bottom line. Brakman Reiser and Dean show how novel legal technologies can allow social enterprises to access capital markets, including unconventional sources such as crowdfunding. With its straightforward insights into complex areas of the law, the book shows how a social mission can even be shielded from the turbulence of an acquisition or bankruptcy. It also shows why, as the metrics available to measure the impact of social missions on individuals and communities become more sophisticated, such legal innovations will continue to become more robust. By providing a comprehensive survey of the U.S. laws and a bold vision for how legal institutions across the globe could be reformed, this book offers new insights and approaches to help social enterprises raise the capital they need to flourish. It offers a rich guide for students, entrepreneurs, investors, and practitioners.

The three part series takes a fresh look at social networking, crowd funding & Internet-based marketing systems, with a focus on teaching individuals and small business owners how they can level the playing field, share in the bounty the Internet offers and market like multinational corporations. Who Is Winning The Social Media and Crowd Funding War : The Battle For Good Vs Evil quickly summarizes the lessons learned in Volume I and Volume II of “The Greatest Con In The History Of The Human Race”—by drawing upon case studies of two of the largest social media networks and their very different approaches to interacting with their users. One social media network designs, implements and deploys collaborative strategies for users that creates opportunities for everyone, and the other develops collaborative strategies to create wealth for a few. While the “The Greatest Con In The History Of The Human Race” ebook series is extremely critical of some Internet business models and Internet entrepreneurs who are described in “Volume I” as the “Forces For Good” and the “Forces For Evil”, Who Is Winning The Social Media and Crowd Funding War: The Battle For Good Vs Evil attempts to demonstrate that it is indeed possible to engage all Internet users to share in the bounty that the Internet and new technologies offer by supporting socially responsible marketing strategies.
