A Message To All The Admins Running These New Fangled Money Making programs, that are very thinly veiled cash gifting deals and promoted as Crowdfunding.
Lets come back down to earth for 5 seconds, for a FREE reality check.
Unless of course your not too fussed in being involved in a money game / cash gifting / Ponzi deal.
What I am seeing is a bunch of Admins that have not made the transition to the crowdfunding terminology as yet because they are bringing with them a lot of their habits derived from money games and mlm.
Example: Set amounts to donate, Must introduce two people, fee’s and allowing people to get jumped over, levels ect and most of all no proper crowdfunding platform at all. Which is leaving wide open to be labelled scams and rightly so.
For a Crowdfunding platform to be Crowdfunding, there are some basic things you should look for.
These are the top 5 CrowdFunding platforms,
https://www.kickstarter.com/
https://www.indiegogo.com/
https://www.gofundme.com/
https://www.fundable.com/
https://www.kiva.org/
All the top 5 crowdfunding platforms have the following. An actual crowdfunding platform, where you can see, search, follow, list and promote campaigns. They are Socially linked with a lot of promotional content, for you to use at a click of a button.
None of these new programs are have anything like the above, why? Maybe its too hard for them to develop the crowdfunding platform part, as 2x2 matrix programs can be purchased from a number sources relatively cheap. $200 - $1000 So you can expect to see dozens of these programs pop up over the next 12 months if the trend continues whilst Bitcoin winter is upon most of them.

The Transition: I would welcome a transition where cash gifting takes on crowdfunding, as the roots of cash gifting are pretty much the same as crowdfunding. But the cash gifters have to go the extra mile and put in the value content of what crowdfunding is and that is a proper integrated donation platform, at the very least mimicking that of the BIG 5.
I have my doubts they will be bothered to do such a thing but someone might and i hope they do because as legit crowdfunding stands right now its all one way traffic and i would like to see givers become receivers also. Legit CF, You can give from $1 to $1000’s track the progress and keep up with the community of people by seeing all their comments ect, that donated specifically to a cause.
Good example here,
https://www.gofundme.com/6ibdvbs New CF’s/Gifting, Set minimum amounts mostly starting at $25 and above in most cases, I have seen one at $10, some start in the $100’s, also upfront fees and ongoing fee’s that offer no value to givers, accept the rental of the gifting platform which true crowdfunding programs no longer charge for because the can generate significant revenues through advertising and various other ways.
For the most part most these newbie CF deals have no set crowdfunding campaigns or at best a token one, if anything at all. I have seen one make an attempt at offering a campaign site but it’s a far cry from the Big5 but certainly better than most, that have nothing at all.
New CF’s/Gifting, FEE’s. Now lets say the new Cf’s smarten up and offer dynamic interactive crowdfunding platform pages, like this one for example, https://www.gofundme.com/getthisguyacar
We now have to address the up front fee’s or the ongoing fee’s.
If we are talking about a 2x2, 6 position system with 50% to you and 50% to person above, whatever level you donate at once those 6 positions are filled you get 3X back.
For example: if you donated $10 the system it would generate $30 to you from those 6 positions. Usually you would use $10 to re-enter back into another $10 donation system and use the remaining $20 to possibly upgrade to a higher level. That’s it nothing left over if you upgrade. = Not good
There should be No upfront or ongoing out of pocket fee’s from donations. However there should be a fee on withdrawals of at least 10% and a minimum withdraw $50
New CF’s Levels. Which brings us to the levels.
At the moment someone could progress up through all the levels offered, some programs offer upto 9 levels and you could upgrade through all levels get to the top and make no money at all, on your way up because you use the surplus to upgrade and there’s nothing left over. Nothing, nada, zippo, which is kinda silly, you got daily bills you need daily income.
Note: Programs that keep money back for re-entries actually slow the progress of the team and the system down. Good for the Admin as he has a nice pool of floating funds that they hold back, = not so good for the people, unless they work with multiple positions to game the system.
Most programs double the next level. This means you will make nothing if your focused on upgrading until you reach the top level. Example: $25 - $50 - $100 - $200 - $400 - $800 - $1600 - $3200
Remember you get 3x the amount donated per level, so a $25 level completed, would give you $75, enough for a $25 re-entry and $50 upgrade with nothing left over = There has to be a better way.
There is a better way, stagger the levels, not double them,
This allows people to make extra money, all the way to the top while re-entering and upgrading. So you would have something like below for example,
$10, $15, $20, $30, $50, $100, $150, $250, $300, $600, $800, $1000, $2000, $3000, $5000 This allow you to have extra, left over whilst still upgrading, rather than nothing.
Lets go over the points.
What you should look for in one of these new Crowdfunding / Money Games.
You need to have a proper functioning campaign system. https://www.gofundme.com/getthisguyacar with popular social media platforms connected.
A decent professionally produced intro video.
A decent professionally produced explainer video.
Fully integrated messaging and email system.
You should have variable donations starting as low as possible going up in increments that allow for making some extra while re-entering and upgrading, rather than making nothing on the way up.
Progressive upgrades, can only upgrade to the next in line and cannot jump or skip levels. this supports the levels and the community.
Optional auto upgrade and re-entry, no funds held back for auto re-entries.
Admin fee, on withdrawal and transfers 10% included in the system, no up front fee’s or separate ongoing fee’s.
Member to member transfer.
Ability to see members matrixes / boards, below the second level.
See all individual donations in wallet area.
Ability to pay for new members from your balance. PIF This also facilitates peer to peer sending of donations.
All members must progressively go through all levels and can only see the next level to upgrade to.
No PayPal payments in but Paypal payments out is ok. Must have several credit card platforms rotating to avoid the inevitable banking problems. Easy to use uncomplicated crypto currency payments. Integrate at least 5 different payout options and the more the better. Encourage PIF and internal transfers / peer to peer sending.
Calendar for calls and training. Calls at least 3 times a week.
Library of videos & docs for promotion & training. Full multi media suite for marketing.
A support system using at least something like Zen desk which is self learning and can auto answer on most issues. https://www.zendesk.com/
No sponsor, no join. Do not let the admin take in orphan signups.
Have several community campaigns that all members support.
Donations to campaigns need to be separated into straight up Donations, without having to automatically getting involved in the Co-operative system.
Have a proper landing / capture page for follow up and promotion. Small fee based.
