Which market are we targeting?
Media/News/Publishing.
Type of product:
Social networks and community for writers.
Target audience:
Writers/Bloggers.
Stage of Development:
Open Beta with limited functionality.
6. Social Networks have value
because they are built by users.
There are different networks
for different user domains.
Writing/blogging tools haven’t
really evolved in a decade.
Writing/blogging domain
will be even more valuable.
Scribe is the only network that allows their
users to benefit from the value they create.

Scribe is the place where it is
possible to combine these two
concepts, allowing users to build
their audience and find new texts.
20. We change the users role
in the social network.
Users are not our product.
Users are not our client.
Writers control when
and how to charge for
their texts.
Users are PARTNERS
Readers will be rewarded
for sharing paid texts
which are purchased.

23. 2.0 Model
Facebook, Twitter, PayPal Kickstater, Wikipedia, Scribe
The key is the network size.
Network is just the path. Individual
users are the key.
First mover advantage is
critical to revenue.
(Ex: Paypal waited until 4mm users before
turning revenue)
We are able to make
money easily and fast.
Kickstater crowdfunded US$ 1b in 5 years,
and the revenue is around US$ 30mm/year).
