ShareMyBiz (SMB) is a commerce engine that allows everyone, even 3rd World cell phone users, to begin earning into the global Internet economy. We provide users with a mobile enhanced online business that includes social networking applications, games, and a personalized Cyber Shopping Mall where Users can sell affiliate products (such as from Amazon); each time a product sale is realized both SMB and the user share in the profit. How many items can be sold when you open the whole world? read the attached ShareMyBiz summary to view projected profits.

The core of our solution involves facilitating Internet commerce with a wealth-based private digital currency that is accessible and use-able by everyone on the planet.

If we can achieve that goal, and we can with funding, it will provide a boon to the United States where the digital marketplace is saturated with movies, music and software. Most of these digital products are purchased via the Internet by credit or debit cards. Overseas, people are hungry for these American digital products, but, unlike Americans, most people overseas do not have credit cards or access to online banking and are thus unable to purchase American digital products.

ShareMyBiz overcomes the obstacles and barriers to online commerce by providing SMB members with free online banking software, a universal digital currency, and contracting, escrow, and transaction conflict resolution software to make it easy and safe for people everywhere to buy and sell via the Internet.

This is possible because users are rewarded with a common Internet currency; this currency may be exchanged for real goods and services, or other e-currencies.

SMB as a company receives revenue from two sectors, advertising revenue (MySpace model) and from real sales made by our users (eBay model); this is a powerful combination that unlocks the commercial potential of the Internet for billions of emerging market users who may otherwise be left behind.

SMB can reach these emerging markets through our relationship with partners such as Peace Portal, Project Restoration, Transcendent Nation and the FREE DIGITAL UNIVERSE (FDU) virtual world game. SMB is under contract as the exclusive “marketing Vendor” for the FDU game where every FDU account, called an “Avatar,” is a SMB user. As Avatars earn using SMB offered applications, SMB shares in the revenue.

In order to spend and receive earnings, SMB Users are provided a private account by ePayCafe, a partner providing a common currency that anyone may exchange for products, services, or other online currencies such as PayPal, e-Gold, even virtual currencies such as 2nd Life Linden Dollars, Transcendent Nation “Kundals”, or World of Warcraft Gold.

In the pre-launch stage, charitable partners aligned with SMB via Peace Portal [1], have pledged to provide our Cyber Shopping Malls to all their current users, this is a significant number.

Currently our objective is to obtain at least $250K in stage one funding for making our software operational in beta form. peaceportal

This beta allows the company to integrate software as the marketing piece of a broader realistic plan for solving the political, economic, and environmental problems that we face. For a quick overview, SMB is a model Information Age company which will give 10% of its profits to Peace Portal, which is an umbrella organization for charities.

Peace Portal will allocate funds to charities, and oversee the activities of these charities to keep them accountable to genuinely help those in need.

Our big hurdle is stage one capitalization. Ordinarily, we should have achieved stage one capitalization six months ago, but the fact that many investors lost 60% of their wealth in the stock market last Fall has radically changed the investor climate, and has put us behind schedule.

Beyond currently pledged users, there are one and a half billion Internet users around the world, and the number continues to grow daily. Every one of these users will have the ability to create wealth from their computer or cell phone by using the SMB platform.

Due to technological advances in wireless cell phone access, and donations such as One-Laptop-Per-Child computers, it is expected that over 3.5 billion new people will gain access to the Internet over the next decade. What most of these people are missing in order to participate as consumers and entrepreneurs is a system that provides the User with an online bank account, a way to earn into that account, and lastly a way to spend the earnings.

Third World Users
SMB will empower many people in third world countries who do not have a credit card or bank account. SMB will free these users from restrictions presently encountered through e-commerce sites such as eBay.

Due to the viral nature of the SMB system, we will empower a new market of prime profit producing SMB users who will emerge from economically depressed countries where computer access is common, such as India, Brazil, and Russia. These users will be at a relative advantage over the users of developed countries because of the difference in cost of living as reflected in currency exchange rates.

Market Comparisons

comparison of the eBay versus SMB models:

eBay	SMB
Users must supply a product if they wish to sell something.	SMB provides all the products for the Sellers.
It is a minimum .25 cents to sell something at eBay, thereby keeping out all whom have no way to enter the digital economy.	Users may sell their own, or others, products directly to those visiting their website without start-up, maintenance, or “other” charges. It is free for all to participate as a means to Enter the digital marketplace.
Users of the system work out the payment method; i.e. paypal, e-gold, check in the mail, etc….	SMB handles all merchant, payment, and remuneration automatically, without fraud.
You must be 18 years old.	No restriction.
You must have a SSN, IN, or other personally identifying information.	Only an e-mail address is required.
You must provide them with an address, many emerging markets have no address, credit card, or identification.	No address required, no identification, no credit card.
Users are expected to resolve their own disputes, sometimes with the help of eBay staff, at expense to eBay.	The SMB platform has a non-nonsense, speedy and fair dispute resolution process; additionally, since SMB suppliers are Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other reliable vendors (as opposed to out-of-garage sellers) – we expect little to no fraud.
eBay can access approx. 15% of the total Internet marketplace due to the above listed restrictions.	Because of “others” restrictions, SMB is the singular solution for over 58% of Internet Users; and has capacity to access 100% of both current and future Users whom come on-line.
According to Forbes, eBay is worth $46 Billion. eBay said revenues for all of 2006 were between $5.7 billion and $5.9 billion	What will ShareMyBiz be worth? Think about it.

Comparison of the MySpace versus SMB models:

MySpace	SMB
Users do not make money from “sales” generated through ads clicked on at their MySpace page.	Users are PAID for sales of their own or others’ products and services generated from their SMB website.
Users have no option for “offering/selling” other users’ music, videos, or affiliate products.	SMB Users can sell their own, or others, products directly to those visiting their website.
Creates return to investors of ad revenue only.	SMB (ROI) from ads, and commercial sales.
Navigation is awkward. Knowledge of HTML is required, therefore users find difficulty in creating web pages.	Simple user-interface and navigational design; no HTML knowledge needed in SMB.
Users can send emails, post videos, listen to music, and write blogs; the site also includes classified ads and postings of events.	Users can send emails, post videos, listen to music, and write blogs; the site also includes classified ads and posting of events, plus SMB Users have the ability to buy, sell, and earn.

Financial Opportunity

SMB projects to achieve significant sales in the first twelve months. SMB is projected to achieve twelve-month revenues of $56 million. Net revenue is projected to be approximately $40 million, paying a dividend of $8.14 per share in fiscal year (FY) 1. Dividends are expected to yield over $40.00 per share in FY2, and continue to grow through and beyond FY5.

The majority of our revenue comes from sales made by Members to Visitors, you’ll see a comparison chart of SMB to eBay further in this document because we have the same revenue model, which is: provide a platform where others effect sales and the company takes a piece of every sale made. Based on this revenue model, plus advertising, within this context, the following dividends projected to be paid each year are probable.

5 Year	Summary	1st FY	2nd FY	3rd FY	4th FY
Income:		$56,435,861.00	$318,482,529.00	$592,758,654.00	$854,628,205.00

Services and Products

SMB provides a range of products and services to its users. These are all provided at no cost, and include:

User-generated website where users can share information and are paid (using ePayCafe currency) on sales of their own or other users’ offerings from that site.
Product Registry for users to place items in the Supermall catalog, and then on their SMB Store.
Affiliate program where the users are paid to market other users’ items from their SMB Store. Both parties are paid each time a sale is completed.
Distributive marketing option for digital products based on an automated chain compensation model; thereby automatically paying exponential returns. This is particularly significant because of how quickly it redistributes wealth, builds wealth in users’ accounts, grows SMB members (as each sale to a new user creates a new SMB user), and provides an economic motivation for viral marketing behavior.
A Communications Manager with e-mail, VOIP application, chat, video, and marketing applications.
P2P and B2B selling or purchasing of items.
Escrow functions to protect the integrity of transactions.
Third Party Payment Processing for holding, trading, transferring, or conversion of users’ earnings.
Mechanisms for turning earnings into travel, insurance, and other goods.
A private system for the prompt resolution of disputes between users

Teens, professional adults, and business entrepreneurs from around the world will create revenue using SMB applications, automatically receiving their own ready-to-go account with an array of features.

The Business Concept and Need

The central challenge we face today is to ensure that globalization becomes a positive force for all the world’s people, instead of leaving billions behind. ~ Kofi Anan

Emerging Market Need

“Africa does need debt relief from its crushing international debt burden. But aid and debt relief can only go so far. We are asking for the opportunity to compete, to sell our goods in global markets; in short we want to trade our way out of poverty.” ~ Pres. Yoweri Musuveni of Uganda

“ Adjustment is the necessary first step on the road to sustainable, poverty reducing growth. Even incomplete adjustment can put countries back on the road to development.” ~ International Bank for Reconstruction & Development -1994

SMB was designed to be part of the solution for the very obvious dramatic problems facing our world today. We have a excellent opportunity to become a significant player in the globalized economy by integrating a wealth of services to these emerging markets, and while meeting current market User needs by combining Anonymity, Social Networking, and Affiliate Marketing.

Entrance Capital
Many 100’s of millions of Internet users have no way to enter the electronic marketplace for lack of a credit card, or other mechanism for buying in.

SMB solves both of the issues, regarding those without entrance capital, and those concerned about privacy. SMB taps two otherwise unattainable markets, numbering over a billion users – SMB allows users to start earning from nothing for free so that they have the capacity to spend.

Emerging Market Need

“Africa does need debt relief from its crushing international debt burden. But aid and debt relief can only go so far. We are asking for the opportunity to compete, to sell our goods in global markets; in short we want to trade our way out of poverty.” ~ Pres. Yoweri Musuveni of Uganda

“To address poverty, economic growth is not a option: it is a necessity.” ~ Mahbub Haq, former VP of the World Bank

“The powerlessness we feel is not a sign of personal failings, but reflects the incapacities of our institutions. We need to reconstruct those we have, or create new ones, for globalization is not incidental to our lives; it is the way we live now.” ~ Anthony Giddens

Current Market Need Safety and Anonymity:
Global Internet usage continues to grow and is projected to reach over 3 billion people in a few years. Likewise, global e-commerce continues to grow dramatically. However, many people do not participate in e-commerce for two reasons: (1) They are concerned about privacy (loss of their personal data) and anonymity; or (2) they have no way to put money into the digital economy or even post a product on eBay for lack of a credit card. A 2006 report from Consumer Webwatch concludes that:

§ 80% of Internet users want anonymity.
§ 25% stopped buying online all together for fear of identity theft, fraud, and security breaches that leak personal information.
§ 53% of people stopped giving out personal information on the Internet.

Also suggested in Thomas Friedmans' "The World is Flat." Friedman describes the unplanned cascade of technological and social shifts that effectively leveled the economic world, and "accidentally made Beijing, Bangalore and Bethesda next-door neighbors."

Today, "individuals and small groups of every color of the rainbow will be able to plug and play." Friedman's list of "flatteners" includes the fall of the Berlin Wall; the rise of Netscape and the dotcom boom that led to a trillion dollar investment in fiber optic cable; the emergence of common software platforms and open source code enabling global collaboration; and the rise of outsourcing, offshoring, supply chaining and insourcing.

Friedman says these flatteners converged around the year 2000, and "created a flat world: a global, web-enabled platform for multiple forms of sharing knowledge and work, irrespective of time, distance, geography and increasingly, language." At the very moment this platform emerged, three huge economies materialized -- those of India, China and the former Soviet Union --"and three billion people who were out of the game, walked onto the playing field."

A final convergence may determine the fate of the U.S. in this final chapter of globalization. A "political perfect storm," as Friedman describes it -- the dotcom bust, the attacks of 9/11, and the Enron scandal -- "distract us completely as a country." Just when we need to face the fact of globalization and the need to compete in a new world, "we're looking totally elsewhere."
