This book was released on 2016-01-25 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by Matrix Thompson & Sarika Khambaita and published by the Pamper Me Network, " Who Is Winning The Social Media and Crowd Funding War: The Battle For Good Vs Evil” is the final installment in “The Greatest Con In The History Of The Human Race" ebook series. 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. We hope that you read all three ebooks with an open mind, and implement some of the ideas to: · Combine your social power with the crowd to market virtually any type of product or service; · Launch more innovative marketing strategies that benefits not only your business but the entire community; · Insure yourself against failure by joining social media networks powered by Social Rewards technology; · Grow your business while helping others to succeed. And for crowd funders, we hope you use the secrets you discover to: · Combine your personal network with that of millions of social influencers to make virtually anyone successful and create generational wealth; · Launch more successful crowd funding campaigns; · Share in the success of competing crowd funding campaigns; · Earn rewards & related bonuses when other crowd funders build their teams. · Reward donors & fans for supporting crowd funding projects, FOREVER; · Share in the revenues realized as crowd funding portals grow; · Share in ongoing sales generated from products pre-sold on a crowd funding platform; · Promote crowd funding campaign to the mass media and, or general Internet community; · Recruit and reward donors; · Enhance donor & fan acquisition with powerful viral marketing tools.

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. The series of ebooks introduce the revolutionary ideas behind social royalties (social rewards technology), self-replicating contest technology, self-replicating fan networks and illustrates how crowd funding when combined with social rewards technology is helping to create a new generation of entrepreneurs. You will love the entire series of ebooks. Join us on this journey by purchasing each volume individually or pre-order the entire series to be released in 2016.

Download or read book A Crowdfunder s Strategy Guide written by Jamey Stegmaier and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2015-09-14 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More Than Money Jamey Stegmaier knows crowdfunding. He's a veteran of seven successful Kickstarter campaigns (and counting) that have raised over $3.2 million, and he's the proprietor of the widely read Kickstarter Lessons blog. In this book he offers a comprehensive guide to crowdfunding, demonstrating that it can be a powerful way for entrepreneurs to grow their businesses by building community and putting their customers first. This book includes over forty stories of inspiring successes and sobering disasters. Stegmaier uses these examples to demonstrate how to (and how not to) prepare for a campaign, grow a fan base, structure a pitch, find new backers, and execute many other crucially important “nuts and bolts” elements of a successful crowdfunding project. But Stegmaier emphasizes that the benefits of crowdfunding are much more about the “crowd” than the “funding.” He shows that if you treat your backers as people, not pocketbooks—communicate regularly and transparently with them, ask their opinions, attend to their needs—they'll become advocates as well as funders, exponentially increasing your project's chances of succeeding.

Download or read book Appealing to the Crowd written by Jeremy Snyder and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-09 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license. It is free to read on Oxford Academic and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. This book offers a close examination of the ethical, political, and practical dimensions of donation-based online crowdfunding for basic needs including medical treatment, housing, food, and education. Crowdfunding uses online platforms and social networks to raise money from friends, family, and complete strangers for a variety of projects and needs. This practice has grown massively worldwide in recent years in terms of the numbers of crowdfunding campaigns and donors, money raised, visibility, and cultural influence. While the money raised through crowdfunding has helped millions of recipients, there is also reason for concern around how it may undermine campaigners' privacy and dignity, mirror and exacerbate social inequities, mask and deepen social injustice, defraud donors, and spread misinformation and hate. Author Jeremy Snyder places this discussion of crowdfunding in the wider historical and ethical context of giving practices. In doing so, Snyder shows that crowdfunding can repeat and exacerbate problems with traditional giving practices while creating other, new problems. Snyder concludes by presenting nine values that should guide donation-based crowdfunding: benefit, choice, solidarity, privacy, dignity, equity, social justice, non-maleficence, and accountability. These values can help crowdfunding donors, campaigners, recipients, platforms, and policy makers preserve the good that can come from crowdfunding while addressing some of its many negative aspects.

Download or read book Leveraging the Wisdom of the Crowd in Software Testing written by Mukesh Sharma and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Its scale, flexibility, cost effectiveness, and fast turnaround are just a few reasons why crowdsourced testing has received so much attention lately. While there are a few online resources that explain what crowdsourced testing is all about, there's been a need for a book that covers best practices, case studies, and the future of this technique. Filling this need, Leveraging the Wisdom of the Crowd in Software Testing shows you how to leverage the wisdom of the crowd in your software testing process. Its comprehensive coverage includes the history of crowdsourcing and crowdsourced testing, implementation practices, and future trends. The book discusses best practices in implementation-explaining what, when, and how to crowdsource in a testing effort. It also includes case studies that illustrate how both product and service companies have successfully applied crowdsourcing in their testing programs. Explaining how to use the combined advantages of crowdsourcing and cloud computing for software testing, the book examines various engagement models in which you could implement crowdsourced testing. It addresses effective defect management in crowdsourced testing and considers both the business and engineering aspects of crowdsourced testing. The book explores the challenges, limitations, and situations when crowdsourced testing will not work and provides powerful best practices for mitigating the constraints and challenges, including how to build a crowdsourcing platform to test software products. Covering career opportunities for crowd testers, the book concludes by taking a look at the need to build a crowdsourced testing ecosystem, who the players of such an ecosystem would be, and who would need to champion such an effort.

Download or read book Leaders of the Crowd written by Adam Gower and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-09 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crowdfunding is nothing new. In fact, America was built and financed by crowdfunding. But in 1933 Congress passed the Securities Act, which shut the door on this most democratic means of raising capital and spreading wealth. In 2012, enjoying broad bipartisan support, congress threw the doors open again, passing the JOBS Act (Jumpstart Our Business Startups). Its intent was to stimulate growth of small businesses and startups, but an unexpected consequence of the Act was that the biggest beneficiary has been the real estate industry. Researching the origins of the JOBS Act, Dr. Adam Gower conducted a series of conversations with the people who lobbied for and wrote the laws that became the Act. What he discovered was that at no time had anyone thought that the real estate industry was a relevant constituency. Perplexed by this disconnect between what had been intended and what had happened, he talked to those who had been the very first real estate people to utilize the JOBS Act. These pioneers, all moving on parallel tracks, seeded the biggest, most transformational change to the real estate industry in history. This book uncovers these conversations with the people who created the laws and those who connected the dots to real estate. It weaves a thread through the labyrinthine processes of government, chronicling how the Act was conceived, formed, and ultimately signed into law, and it reveals how the visionaries who have revolutionized real estate capital formation embarked on their missions to change their industry forever. Learn how the JOBS Act, never expected to benefit real estate, has transformed the industry, changing the way capital is raised and syndications are formed forever and how an unintended consequence is helping almost everyone in America invest in real estate like never before.
