1.0 Executive Summary
MindBanking.com is a global business networking portal, offering services which
empower users to fully develop manage and build their projects. MindBanking.com is a
one-stop-shop which has a certain potential to become fully equipped and serviced global
office. MindBanking.com is a console for developing business.
The objective is to create vibrant an interactive online business portal, where biggest
and smallest entrepreneurs could meet, providing a generator or incubator of ideas, for
new business opportunities that are about to lead to new businesses, products and
services.
Mindbanking project belongs to the online business social networking online services.
Revenue models for this kind of services include subscription fees, advertising, service
sales (pay per piece and subscription), and respectively brokerage.
Our position in the business social networking market would be significant since we
would be offering a unique online working and developing platform and hope to create
unique, vibrant and powerful community.
The main objective of MindBanking.com is to become an entrepreneurs' main working
platform; to become their office, business space and their home page; the first thing to
visit when they go online, as well as the last before going offline; spending an average
4 hours per day using MindBanking.com portal/application/platform.
The goal is also to create such a powerful and vibrant community, which would
respectively compel investors to become active in searching and "pulling" projects.
Furthermore socio-economic trends like hard labor as well as repetitive labor being
replaced with machines, technology and robotics, is shaping our social landscape; as well as
trends in economy such as domination of services economy and inauguration of post-
industry which puts the intellectual production, “virtual” goods and services at the pivotal place
in the economy. For example estimated worth of Facebook at the beginning of 2011 have
been around 50 billion USD; however the value is not estimated as the value of brick and
mortar properties, but the equity is measured by the value of its community, quality of its
intellectual goods and services, (and a basic social networking service is free!), and its impact
and influence on the social reality.
All mentioned are the arguments that the project has anticipated the future market, new
economies and new business infrastructure.

1.1 Objectives
The objective of this project is to perceive the new media and communication world as a
(new) business developing platform. Social networks proved to be a new media mantra;
however its business developing potential has yet not been proven. Mindbanking portal
is as much community and development as it is profit driven. The objective is to create
vibrant an interactive online business portal, where biggest and smallest entrepreneurs
could meet, providing a generator or incubator of ideas, for new business opportunities
that are about to lead to new businesses, products and services. The project has a
strong market (or attention) value since its target groups belong to both consumers and
businesses. MindBanking caters to all business interactions; B2B, B2C, C2B, C2C and all
other future ones.

1.2 Mission
Mindbanking.com generates business ideas that could bring together entrepreneurs
and potential entrepreneurs. This online service would help generate profit by creating
a community that would among other things develop projects using unique working/
development platform, furthermore by constantly upgrading services and by building a
community. Interaction (a network) of market sectors could create exciting business
scene.
The system used in building infrastructure of the project is drawn from network
theory, system theory and the Attention Economy. The program strives to comprise
complex and dynamic infrastructure to be able to ensure sustainability as well as
constant progress and development thus constant growth of revenue. The system
and infrastructure of the project will also be continually scrutinized and upgraded.

1.3 Keys to Success
Although global economy is a reality, only several business enclaves like New
York, Dubai, Silicon Valley, Hong Kong or similar could claim its business
supremacy since they represent centers or/and conglomerates of business
activity. We could say that being in one place gives them the strength or better said
energy to progress and develop and to become economic forerunner.
MindBanking.com prospers on that same premise. To put in the same space global
corporations, SME, investors, thriving individuals with new ideas, entrepreneurs,
innovators and such, and to deploy its multi-interaction could truly produce new
marketplace as well as new economies or new business idioms.
The project presupposes a vision of a new business scene and its infrastructure
through the idea – everyone is an entrepreneur. Numerous trends show that
developing own business is the future of economic scene, thus the project meets
that basic need.
Almost every innovator claims the same – we do not know how to do the business!;
MindBanking.com is empowered to deal with the mentioned problem through
offering business plan application, work and workflow platform, interaction tools and
playful and user-friendly business environment.
Furthermore, the main objective of MindBanking.com is to become an
entrepreneurs' main working platform; to become their office, business space and
their home page; the first thing to visit when they go online, as well as the last
before going offline; spending an average 4 hours per day using MindBanking.com
portal/application/platform.
The goal is also to create such a powerful and vibrant community, which would
respectively compel investors to become active in searching and "pulling" projects.
MindBanking.com thrives on the premise that everyone is a potential entrepreneur;
if we furthermore take into consideration digitally converged media environment that
empowers every user to create its own business opportunity, along with the idea that
the online infrastructure will prevail in the future of business operations, we could
claim we hit the target. So the strategy proposes for the Mind Banking.com to become
the platform for creating endless number of (original) business communities and a
vigorous and self-producing new business scene.
Mindbanking.com is a vision of new economy which presupposes development of the
new market technology, which perpetuates network distribution, niche markets, dynamic-
modular production units and such, which would respectively replace mass production.
The project anticipates or even brings about new paradigm shift at a production process at
MindBanking.com
Page 5
large. Some of the trends are already taking place as a part of production process; such
as, fluid working hours and Sunday as a working day shows that our working week has
been submitted to significant changes. It is what theoretician Leadbeater in his Knowledge
Economy calls “graying the calendar” (Leadbeater, 2000).
Furthermore, there is also a trend of working from locations other than office, in small
groups, using communication tools such as Skype, MSN, or even mobile phone
applications; thus the conditions for the development of like economy has already been
sketched.
Even some new trends in hardware technology are proving the way we
communicate, work and spend our daily lives is changing. For example
tablet (e.g. Apple iPad, BlackBerry PlayBook, HTC Flyer, Samsung Galaxy
Tab etc.) trend; book reading devices/tablets (e.g. Kindle). Mentioned
trends show that everything becomes “on the go”, even production.
Furthermore socio-economic trends like hard labor as well as repetitive
labor being replaced with machines, technology and robotics, is shaping our
social landscape; as well as trends in economy such as domination of services
economy and inauguration of post-industry which puts the intellectual
production, “virtual” goods and services at the pivotal place in the economy.
For example estimated worth of Facebook at the beginning of 2011 have been
around 50 billion USD; however the value is not estimated as the value of
brick and mortar properties, but the equity is measured by the value of its
community, quality of its intellectual goods and services, (and a basic
social networking service is free!), and its impact and influence on the social
reality.
All mentioned are the arguments that the project has anticipated the
future market, new economies and new business infrastructure.

Social Networking Dominates Our Time Spent Online
Social networking now eats up twice as much of our online time as any other activity.
According to new stats from Nielsen, sites like Facebook and Twitter now account for
22.7% of time spent on the web; the next closest activity is online games, which make
up 10.2%.
The stats also show the degree to which social networking is displacing other forms of
MindBanking.com
Page 15
communication, with e-mail as a percentage of online time plunging from 11.5% to
8.3% from June 2009 to June 2010. Instant messaging also saw a significant drop in
share, with a 15% decline from last year.
However, e-mail use on mobile is still on the rise – from 37.4% to 41.6% — presumably
as users continue to migrate to smartphones from feature phones.

4.1 Market Segmentation
Target groups
Innovators
– is a main target group, which represents a community using MB.com application in the
first place to submit ideas and find investors. However, the same group is also the main
user of all services offered on the MB.com portal. They will try to find collaborators, will
use the working platform and will have a need to use business plan templates and legal
advices. More detailed segmentation: Entrepreneurs, SME-s, Inventors, Media
professionals, Artists, New media freaks, Media semi-professionals, Independent
scholars, Independent researchers, Universities, Grad Students, etc. In the broad
scope our main target goup are early adopters/trend setters/tech savy users.
Investors
– are uising portal in order to find ideas, projects, products, business solutions etc.
Segmentation in this group could also be detailed as: corporations, SME-s, individual
investors, venture capital houses, producers, publishers etc. Investors will also have to
build their profile through company logo, investment portfolio, project portfolio and such.
Collaborators
– is a target group mainly seeking for interesting projects to collaborate in, to get
experience, and respectivelly would become Innovators.
User Scenario
User 1 – innovator
Fruitful idea maker sits in front of the Facebook sending his friends chocolate, gummy
bears and smiles; throwing sheep and philosophers at his colleagues; waiting for
something exciting to appear on a horizon. He (let us say is a he) is inhibited to think
about piles of ideas stocked in his drawer, because every time he does, a rush of
frustration and disappointment overwhelms him. Suddenly information appears like an
epiphany, a thunderstruck. MindBanking.com – submit ideas, find collaborators,
develop projects, and find investors.
Just what I needed! I am going there right away!
After exploring possibilities MindBanking is offering, he starts to submit ideas. Oh, my
ideas seem to be even better than I thought, mumbles he, let us now find some
people who could be interested to work with me on my projects. Swiftly he became a
friend with a programmer from Indonesia and a developer from New York and they
MindBanking.com
Page 17
started to develop one of his projects.
Going deeper into the MindBanking portal he discovers he could do everything in one
place in order to develop his project: he can manage it through Workflow tools, develop it
through the Workingplatform, he finds a business plan development application extremely
useful, as well as a database of investors.
After a couple of months MindBanking.com becomes his global office, his conditio sine
qua non. Every day he wakes up and starts his working day at the MindBanking.com. He
spends the whole day managing his tasks, checking status of collaborators tasks,
setting new tasks, managing possible problems in a project development,
communicating with collaborators, finding investors or communicating with investors he
had already make a connection with, developing business plan(s) etc., in a nutshell,
developing his business. And suddenly like he never intended to, finds he had became
an entrepreneur. Even better, he realizes that around him grew a brand new, exciting and
vibrant business scene.
User 2 – investor
She is sitting with the head in her hands, under pressure to find new business ideas;
but where to find them? Desperate, she opens a www.ft.com. Yeah,like they are going
to offer fresh ideas on a silver platter, crosses her mind. She opens the www.ft.com
page and there it is, a banner: MindBanking.com, the source of business ideas! All of a
sudden the world seems completely different. She rushes to the MindBanking.com, and
finds not only what she was desperately looking for, but an extraordinary vigorous and
exceptional business scene. At once she finds couple of mind-blowing projects
matching her interest, and right away starts communication with the team working on it.
Her business routine takes a different shape.
Every morning she checks what has been done with the project she invested into. If there
are any alerts, how the production is going. Also she is onto new ideas and new projects.
She had moved her business activity almost entirely at online sphere creating not only
a global office but an entire new business.

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy
The project focuses on this target groups because they are main production force,
three pillars of any market; people with ideas, developers and investors (money force).
Communicating to them, bringing them together and engaging them in a production (even
of their own projects) could produce uncanny business scene, which of course means
raising attention to high level consequently generating revenue.
4.3 Service Business Analysis
Mindbanking project belongs to the online business social networking online services.
Revenue models for this kind of services include subscriptionfees, advertising,
service sales (pay per piece and subscription), and respectively brockerage.
Xing.com – mainly subsrciption fees (premium membership)
LinkedIn.com – mainly advertising
Facebook.com – mainly advertising
MindBanking.com
Page 19
4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns
Broad market
Xing.com
Advantages for Mindbanking
Xing.com merely offers database of professionals, no other services; it takes a lot of
effort to utilize the service they offer.
Three moths premium membership plus a moth gratis costs 18 Euros, too expensive,
especially for young people struggling in a entrepreneurs world.
Threats
for Mindbanking
Xing.com already has 7 million users (2009).
LinkedIn.com
Advantages for MindBanking
Our research shows social networking platforms that do not offer added value but
merely profile upload and possibility to connect with friends and colleagues do not
have much action going on and as a result the portal quickly loses its attention. Such is
the case with LinkedIn. Our added value: MindBanking.com is a one-stop-shop which
has a certain potential to become fully equipped and serviced global office.
MindBanking.com is a console for developing business.

Projects sharing the market with MindBanking.com; a niche market yet to be created.
1. Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/)
2. Amazee (http://www.amazee.com/)
MindBanking.com
Page 21
3. OpenInvo (http://www.openinvo.com/)
All of the mentioned businesses do not have significant market share. However, their
relatively recent appearance show the market calls for a communities/applications that
offer a tool that can enable collaboration on a projects, also stock markets for ideas, or to
create the places where capital and ideas/innovations could meet. Furthermore, instead
of posing as a threat for MindBanking.com, it represents an opportunity since the
mentioned projects would create the niche market.

(source, Forbes, March 6, 2008.) In 2009, number of users grew to 250.000.000,
representing 262% growth. Potential for revenue growth from that position is huge.
Facebook ended 2008 making between $280 million and $300 million, according to
many reports. The company’s revenues likely reached between $600 million and $700
million for 2009. sources estimate the company could make between $1 billion and $1.1
billion in total revenue this year. (source: Inside Facebook; www.insidefacebook.

Our position in the business social networking market would be significant since we
would be offering a unique online working and developing platform. In a nutshell, our
competitive advantage is to be the first in a global market offering services to help
develop and deploy projects online. Furthermore, if we compare ourselves with other
social networking portals, even the business ones, like LinkedIn.com and Xing.com, we
believe that our portal will have much higher business utilization than any of them.

5.3 Marketing Strategy
Marketing strategy lies on using exact or narrow marketing channel for
each target group (community). For Inventors, our most important
target group, we intend to use mainly Facebook social ads and
respectively Google Adwords. We can position our key target group as
spending a lot of their time on Facebook, since it is a rather creative portal
in entertainment kind of way, and bypassing business social networking
portals since they do not offer much and require much effort for
business utilization. The plan is to draw their attention from Facebook and
channel their energy and ideas towards production and
entrepreneurship. Furthermore, for that target group we wouldn't use
online banners as a mean of communication, but more involving Social
ads (social groups, fan clubs, applications, etc.)
Target group Investors also require special attention. The strategy is to
reach them at FT.com and the Time Magazine online or New York times.
Target group Collaborators will be reached through banners and WOM on
the LinkedIn.com, and other social networking portals.
Launch campaign will consist of two phases:
Phase 1 (Beta testing period)
Since we will have 45 days of Beta testing period the strategy is for that
period to deploy Facebook social ads, Google Adwords, WOM, guerilla
marketing (blogs, forums, chats…) which will serve for all three target
groups. In this kind of communication methods possibly the least
covered are Investors.
Phase 2 (100% ready)
Banners on Facebook.com, LinkedIn.com, FT.com, Time Magazine online
or New York times online; 100.000 impressions.
1.0. Beta testing campaign
1.1. Facebook - social ads and applications - 10.000 USD
MindBanking.com
Page 25
1.2. Google Adwords - around 20 key words for 1 month - 1.000 USD
1.3 LinkedIn - Direct Ads, targeted on communities - 10.000 USD
1.4 Guerilla marketing & WOM daily for a month on blogs, forums etc. -
1.000 USD
2.0 100 % ready campaign
Strategy is to keep running Facebook social ads and Google Adwords all
the time. Furthermore, to put banners on business and news portals
with around 100.000 impressions, one by one.
2.1 NYTimes.com - around 100.000 impressions - 11.000 USD
2.2 FT.com - 468x60 banner, contextual targeting (business) plus
geographical, Cost per Thousand Impressions (CPM) = 55, 00 GBP.
Plan: 100.000 impressions = 5.500,00 GBP = 11.000,00 USD.

5.4 Sales Strategy
Beta testing period will last for 45 days. After that the subscription fee will be deployed as
described.

Additional storage of 3 GB will be charged 5 USD per month and offered as a 3/6/12
months package.

As for the advertising, the aqasion is simple; greater the number of user (eye-balls),
more advertising space is sold. Great advantage with internet advertising is that
we are not only able to count every single user, we also know their names,
preferences and interests.
5.4.1 Sales Forecast
We predicted that by the end of the first year we will have 64.000 active users, which
of 50.000 would spend for our subscription about 50 USD per year, we could have
revenue of 2.500.000 USD. We assume our users will be willing to pay 50 USD per year.
The price definitely represents value for money, since some other social networking
portals charge much more for less utilization.
Advertising revenues are more of a educated guess and could only be higher since
globaly revenues from online advertising are growing every year.
In 2012 21% of global ad spending will happen online
Interactive advertising revenues will increase significantly from $45 bln in 2007 to $147
bln globally in 2012, representing a 23.4%, according to Kelsey Group. Interactive
advertising, which comprises search (including local search), display advertising,
classifieds and other interactive ad products, grew its share of global advertising
revenues from 6.1% in 2006 to 7.4% in 2007. By 2012 Kelsey Group analysts expect the
interactive share of global ad spending will reach 21%. During the forecast period
(2007-2012), the United States will see interactive advertising revenues grow from
$22.5 billion to $62.4 bln (22.6% CAGR), with interactive revenues in Canada
increasing from $1.3 blnto $3.3 billion (21.3% CAGR).

6.0 Management Summary
6.1 Personnel Plan
In the first year the plan is to hire as few personnel as possible. Most of the
development and production will be done by outsourcing. In the second FY when we
anticipate ROI to start pouring in, would hire small but high quality team. In the FYs that
follow we would expand significantly our personnel, with the special consideration on
R&D (Research and Development) team, and would form serious Board of
Directors.

  • 4. MindBanking.com Page 1 1.0 Executive Summary MindBanking.com is a global business networking portal, offering services which empower users to fully develop manage and build their projects. MindBanking.com is a one-stop-shop which has a certain potential to become fully equipped and serviced global office. MindBanking.com is a console for developing business. The objective is to create vibrant an interactive online business portal, where biggest and smallest entrepreneurs could meet, providing a generator or incubator of ideas, for new business opportunities that are about to lead to new businesses, products and services. Mindbanking project belongs to the online business social networking online services. Revenue models for this kind of services include subscription fees, advertising, service sales (pay per piece and subscription), and respectively brokerage. Our position in the business social networking market would be significant since we would be offering a unique online working and developing platform and hope to create unique, vibrant and powerful community. The main objective of MindBanking.com is to become an entrepreneurs' main working platform; to become their office, business space and their home page; the first thing to visit when they go online, as well as the last before going offline; spending an average 4 hours per day using MindBanking.com portal/application/platform. The goal is also to create such a powerful and vibrant community, which would respectively compel investors to become active in searching and "pulling" projects. Furthermore socio-economic trends like hard labor as well as repetitive labor being replaced with machines, technology and robotics, is shaping our social landscape; as well as trends in economy such as domination of services economy and inauguration of post- industry which puts the intellectual production, “virtual” goods and services at the pivotal place in the economy. For example estimated worth of Facebook at the beginning of 2011 have been around 50 billion USD; however the value is not estimated as the value of brick and mortar properties, but the equity is measured by the value of its community, quality of its intellectual goods and services, (and a basic social networking service is free!), and its impact and influence on the social reality. All mentioned are the arguments that the project has anticipated the future market, new economies and new business infrastructure.
  • 5. MindBanking.com Page 2 1.1 Objectives The objective of this project is to perceive the new media and communication world as a (new) business developing platform. Social networks proved to be a new media mantra; however its business developing potential has yet not been proven. Mindbanking portal is as much community and development as it is profit driven. The objective is to create vibrant an interactive online business portal, where biggest and smallest entrepreneurs could meet, providing a generator or incubator of ideas, for new business opportunities that are about to lead to new businesses, products and services. The project has a strong market (or attention) value since its target groups belong to both consumers and businesses. MindBanking caters to all business interactions; B2B, B2C, C2B, C2C and all other future ones.
  • 6. MindBanking.com Page 3 1.2 Mission Mindbanking.com generates business ideas that could bring together entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs. This online service would help generate profit by creating a community that would among other things develop projects using unique working/ development platform, furthermore by constantly upgrading services and by building a community. Interaction (a network) of market sectors could create exciting business scene. The system used in building infrastructure of the project is drawn from network theory, system theory and the Attention Economy. The program strives to comprise complex and dynamic infrastructure to be able to ensure sustainability as well as constant progress and development thus constant growth of revenue. The system and infrastructure of the project will also be continually scrutinized and upgraded.
  • 7. MindBanking.com Page 4 1.3 Keys to Success Although global economy is a reality, only several business enclaves like New York, Dubai, Silicon Valley, Hong Kong or similar could claim its business supremacy since they represent centers or/and conglomerates of business activity. We could say that being in one place gives them the strength or better said energy to progress and develop and to become economic forerunner. MindBanking.com prospers on that same premise. To put in the same space global corporations, SME, investors, thriving individuals with new ideas, entrepreneurs, innovators and such, and to deploy its multi-interaction could truly produce new marketplace as well as new economies or new business idioms. The project presupposes a vision of a new business scene and its infrastructure through the idea – everyone is an entrepreneur. Numerous trends show that developing own business is the future of economic scene, thus the project meets that basic need. Almost every innovator claims the same – we do not know how to do the business!; MindBanking.com is empowered to deal with the mentioned problem through offering business plan application, work and workflow platform, interaction tools and playful and user-friendly business environment. Furthermore, the main objective of MindBanking.com is to become an entrepreneurs' main working platform; to become their office, business space and their home page; the first thing to visit when they go online, as well as the last before going offline; spending an average 4 hours per day using MindBanking.com portal/application/platform. The goal is also to create such a powerful and vibrant community, which would respectively compel investors to become active in searching and "pulling" projects. MindBanking.com thrives on the premise that everyone is a potential entrepreneur; if we furthermore take into consideration digitally converged media environment that empowers every user to create its own business opportunity, along with the idea that the online infrastructure will prevail in the future of business operations, we could claim we hit the target. So the strategy proposes for the Mind Banking.com to become the platform for creating endless number of (original) business communities and a vigorous and self-producing new business scene. Mindbanking.com is a vision of new economy which presupposes development of the new market technology, which perpetuates network distribution, niche markets, dynamic- modular production units and such, which would respectively replace mass production. The project anticipates or even brings about new paradigm shift at a production process at
  • 8. MindBanking.com Page 5 large. Some of the trends are already taking place as a part of production process; such as, fluid working hours and Sunday as a working day shows that our working week has been submitted to significant changes. It is what theoretician Leadbeater in his Knowledge Economy calls “graying the calendar” (Leadbeater, 2000). Furthermore, there is also a trend of working from locations other than office, in small groups, using communication tools such as Skype, MSN, or even mobile phone applications; thus the conditions for the development of like economy has already been sketched. Even some new trends in hardware technology are proving the way we communicate, work and spend our daily lives is changing. For example tablet (e.g. Apple iPad, BlackBerry PlayBook, HTC Flyer, Samsung Galaxy Tab etc.) trend; book reading devices/tablets (e.g. Kindle). Mentioned trends show that everything becomes “on the go”, even production. Furthermore socio-economic trends like hard labor as well as repetitive labor being replaced with machines, technology and robotics, is shaping our social landscape; as well as trends in economy such as domination of services economy and inauguration of post-industry which puts the intellectual production, “virtual” goods and services at the pivotal place in the economy. For example estimated worth of Facebook at the beginning of 2011 have been around 50 billion USD; however the value is not estimated as the value of brick and mortar properties, but the equity is measured by the value of its community, quality of its intellectual goods and services, (and a basic social networking service is free!), and its impact and influence on the social reality. All mentioned are the arguments that the project has anticipated the future market, new economies and new business infrastructure.

Threats for Mindbanking Xing.com already has 7 million users (2009). LinkedIn.com Advantages for MindBanking Our research shows social networking platforms that do not offer added value but merely profile upload and possibility to connect with friends and colleagues do not have much action going on and as a result the portal quickly loses its attention. Such is the case with LinkedIn. Our added value: MindBanking.com is a one-stop-shop which has a certain potential to become fully equipped and serviced global office.

  • 26. MindBanking.com Page 23 5.2 Competitive Edge Main social/business network websites are LinkedIn, Xing, and of course Facebook, absolute winner in number of registered users, impact and revenue. Xing.com as a business (social) network was founded in 2003 had 5 million users in 2008, and an estimated revenue of €10.1 million in 2006; source Wikipedia.com, http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XING, April 2008. In 2009 number of users for Xing.com grew to 7.000.000, representing 40% growth. LinkedIn.com, had an estmated 20 million users in 2008 and 43 million in 2009. Facebook.com was founded in February 2004, had an estimated 69 million users in January 2008 (source, Facebook, January 2008), and revenue of 150 million USD; (source, Forbes, March 6, 2008.) In 2009, number of users grew to 250.000.000, representing 262% growth. Potential for revenue growth from that position is huge. Facebook ended 2008 making between $280 million and $300 million, according to many reports. The company’s revenues likely reached between $600 million and $700 million for 2009. sources estimate the company could make between $1 billion and $1.1 billion in total revenue this year. (source: Inside Facebook; www.insidefacebook. com/2010/03/02/facebook-made-up-to-700-million-in-2009-on-track-towards-1-1-billion- in-2010/, 2010) Our position in the business social networking market would be significant since we would be offering a unique online working and developing platform. In a nutshell, our competitive advantage is to be the first in a global market offering services to help develop and deploy projects online. Furthermore, if we compare ourselves with other social networking portals, even the business ones, like LinkedIn.com and Xing.com, we believe that our portal will have much higher business utilization than any of them.
  • 27. MindBanking.com Page 24 5.3 Marketing Strategy Marketing strategy lies on using exact or narrow marketing channel for each target group (community). For Inventors, our most important target group, we intend to use mainly Facebook social ads and respectively Google Adwords. We can position our key target group as spending a lot of their time on Facebook, since it is a rather creative portal in entertainment kind of way, and bypassing business social networking portals since they do not offer much and require much effort for business utilization. The plan is to draw their attention from Facebook and channel their energy and ideas towards production and entrepreneurship. Furthermore, for that target group we wouldn't use online banners as a mean of communication, but more involving Social ads (social groups, fan clubs, applications, etc.) Target group Investors also require special attention. The strategy is to reach them at FT.com and the Time Magazine online or New York times. Target group Collaborators will be reached through banners and WOM on the LinkedIn.com, and other social networking portals. Launch campaign will consist of two phases: Phase 1 (Beta testing period) Since we will have 45 days of Beta testing period the strategy is for that period to deploy Facebook social ads, Google Adwords, WOM, guerilla marketing (blogs, forums, chats…) which will serve for all three target groups. In this kind of communication methods possibly the least covered are Investors. Phase 2 (100% ready) Banners on Facebook.com, LinkedIn.com, FT.com, Time Magazine online or New York times online; 100.000 impressions. 1.0. Beta testing campaign 1.1.

Furthermore, to put banners on business and news portals with around 100.000 impressions, one by one. 2.1 NYTimes.com - around 100.000 impressions - 11.000 USD 2.2 FT.com - 468x60 banner, contextual targeting (business) plus geographical, Cost per Thousand Impressions (CPM) = 55, 00 GBP. Plan: 100.000 impressions = 5.500,00 GBP = 11.000,00 USD.
  • 29. MindBanking.com Page 26 5.4 Sales Strategy Beta testing period will last for 45 days. After that the subscription fee will be deployed as described.

  • 31. MindBanking.com Page 28 Subscription will be available as a 3/6/12 months packages: As for the advertising, the aqasion is simple; greater the number of user (eye-balls), more advertising space is sold. Great advantage with internet advertising is that we are not only able to count every single user, we also know their names, preferences and interests. 5.4.1 Sales Forecast We predicted that by the end of the first year we will have 64.000 active users, which of 50.000 would spend for our subscription about 50 USD per year, we could have revenue of 2.500.000 USD. We assume our users will be willing to pay 50 USD per year. The price definitely represents value for money, since some other social networking portals charge much more for less utilization. Advertising revenues are more of a educated guess and could only be higher since globaly revenues from online advertising are growing every year. In 2012 21% of global ad spending will happen online Interactive advertising revenues will increase significantly from $45 bln in 2007 to $147 bln globally in 2012, representing a 23.4%, according to Kelsey Group. Interactive advertising, which comprises search (including local search), display advertising, classifieds and other interactive ad products, grew its share of global advertising revenues from 6.1% in 2006 to 7.4% in 2007. By 2012 Kelsey Group analysts expect the interactive share of global ad spending will reach 21%. During the forecast period (2007-2012), the United States will see interactive advertising revenues grow from $22.5 billion to $62.4 bln (22.6% CAGR), with interactive revenues in Canada increasing from $1.3 blnto $3.3 billion (21.3% CAGR).
