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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital Participation through Social Living Labs connects two largely separate debates: On the one hand, high speed internet access and associated technologies are often heralded as a means to bring about not only connectivity, but also innovation, economic development, new jobs, and regional prosperity. On the other hand, community development research has established that access by itself is necessary but not sufficient to foster digital participation for the broadest possible range of individuals. Edited by leading scholars from the fields of education, youth studies, urban informatics, librarianship, communication technology, and digital media studies, this book is positioned as a link to connect these debates. It brings together an international collection of empirically grounded case studies by researchers and practitioners from diverse backgrounds. They advance knowledge that fosters digital participation by identifying the specific digital needs, issues and practices of different types of communities as they seek to take advantage of access to digital technologies. Collectively, these cases propose new ways for enabling residents to develop their digital confidence and skills both at home and in their local community, particularly through a 'social living labs' approach. The book is organised around key focus areas: digital skills enhancement, youth entrepreneurship, connected learning, community digital storytelling, community-led digital initiatives and policy development. - Highlights that high speed internet is necessary that high speed internet access is necessary but not sufficient to resolve digital divides and foster social inclusion; - Brings together international, empirically grounded case studies to identify digital needs, issues and practices of different communities, and contextualises these with expert comment; - Presents contributions from multiple disciplines, with most chapters incorporating more than one disciplinary background; - Gives insight on the place of the digital in contemporary society; - Illustrates the innovative potential of social living labs to foster digital learning and participation in a variety of community contexts.
