First we need to overcome a lot of resistance

… and get them to sign up!

Then we have to acclimate user’s to computers and social media

… and make them feel comfortable!

Then we have to get them to participate

… and have fun using computers!

Then we give them the option of choosing their own Job

… and hopefully it’s about something they enjoy!

So now we’ll go over what kind of jobs they’ll run into and could learn

The DCP will create all sorts of jobs…

Associated with putting on Live Events

And Mentoring works really well

Multimedia encyclopedias are coming

The DCP will need LOTS of employees!

The Haves will help the Have Nots!

And we’ll make sure to cover Health!

We’ll do all sorts of viral marketing…

And teach you to run your own network

And feed yourself and your community

Everybody needs great sales people

And software dev skills are golden!

Running this whole system and promoting from within will be key.
