Select the stage that best applies to your solution
Idea (you're poised to launch)
How long have you been in operation?
Still in idea phase, but looking to launch soon
THE NEED: Describe the need for your solution and the size/dynamic of the community (ies) you will engage
PAPER.COM is an idea born out of the need for information by young people everywhere in the world. My research made it clear that young people everywhere are desperately in need of something that will AID their strong desire to achieve the GOOD LIFE status. Young people everywhere want to Learn and also desire to Earn and they never stop to YEARN.
Leaning,earning and yearning became a big problem for young people all over the world and ways to solve this is been sourced for on a daily basis via differs way. To the extent of some going the crooked way to achieve their aims and make a mark.
After thorough research over time, i have come to realize that INFORMATION is what everybody needs to move from one phase of life to another.The level of information we are open to determines how far we go in life and the kind of information we are expose to determines the kind of impact we will create in the world.
Schooling only get us literate, the adequate information needed to achieve the good life status is never disclose in school. So students ends up dropping out of school why some don't even make attempt of going as they know their expectations will be less met. Here the NEED begin
THE SOLUTION: Please explain what your solution offers and how it is innovative. How will you put your solution into the hands of users or beneficiaries? Be specific!
The problem is unavailability of information needed for the good life and those facing this issues mostly are young people - Youth.
So,seeing from the perspective of a youth, i concluded that the ingredient needed for the goodlife is LEARNING,EARNING and YEARNING.
PAPER.COM provides solution to this need by providing a GLOBAL VIRTUAL RESOURCE, a virtual paper and media center where every member of the community can becomes a content provider by writing their own story, share their reality and disclose whatever information they have at their disposal with the public. Contents comes in as WRITTEN, PICTURES or VIDEOS. we understand that information abounds on a daily basis and different group of people are expose to different information from different part of the world. So, PAPER.COM as decided to create a platform where everybody everywhere can come together and share their piece of information not for free. Yes, never for free as members who upload information in WORDS, PICTURES and VIDEOS get paid according to the numbers of Impressions and Feedback they get.
We are meeting needs as we will ensure their are information available for those interested in LEARNING. And we also motivate those who carry the information to share as we guarantee their EARNING and then we make other young people YEARN for more of this.
We are reaching the global market. It's virtual, the internet is our home ... reaching billions of people is never a problem. We are a good VIRAL MARKETING platform on ground.
There is a global market waiting me... support this dream.
THE MODEL: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference through use of information technology and media
Reaching a large number of young people from across the world is the number one target of this innovation. And the only means to achieve that is to enjoy the wave of the information technology and media. Social media over time as become one huge platform for POSSIBILITIES. as a social media entrepreneur, a freelance marketer and independent publicist who are been so deep in the utilization of social media such as FACEBOOK, LINKEDIN,TWITTER, STUMBLEDUPON,FLICKR, MASHABLES, THEENTREPRENUER to mention few, with thousands of followers/connection in each of this networking site, i will boldly state that my initiative is solving a global strictly with the usage of information technology and media. We are meeting needs of millions of young people by providing adequate and updated information to them, and also creating an avenue where they become employed. Solving the problem of unemployment on a global scale is another way to define this move.
PAPER.COM is not just another networking site. it is as define above, a global virtual resource center that can also be address as a GLOBAL VIRTUAL NEWS PORTAL that accept raw direct immediate happenings from members across the world.
THE MARKETPLACE: Who are your peers and competitors? What challenges could these players pose to your success or growth?
Those we see as peers and competitors are cut aside through our power of creativity E.G CNN, 234NEXT, and all other news portal that utilizes the internet would have match up as competitors but PAPER.COM is an instant information distributor. News, general updates about events happening around the world are uploaded instantly by our members who we see and pay as INFORMANT. WORDS, PICTURES and VIDEOS speak a volume for us. our edge is unmatchable as we create a platform for easy involvement as phone applications will be more simplified for usage.
Outside the fact that it is going to be fun for every member ... it also carries this iota of competition, as been the first to deliver a particular information becomes unavoidable.
