What Happened To The Empowr Network ?
Empowr: A web-based democratic social economy that enables its users to earn money through uploading photos, videos, and blogs. Company Information. Industry.
Well the Empowr Network shut down temporarily on January 5th , 2020. To pay and prepare for their massive global market launch , they had to cut all costs substantially, which meant reducing their computer server costs by 75% to prepare for the Beta launch.
They are spending and have been spending their time solving challenges ,such as marketing of the platform, and how to attract a lot of new users or citizens to the platform very quickly without getting and spending investor capital.
They want to remind all Empowr citizens that together the technology was built about the technology it takes to deliver on the vision of giving the world a democratic social economy.... but the technology alone , has much less value.... until it has a large amount of people using it . Agree ? I agree ....
Here is an Example :
Update From Empowr
The empowr alpha site will be taken down in 31 days from now -- on January 5th, 2020. When that happens:
A. The empowr product will become inaccessible.
B. Everyone's data will be gone forever, unfortunately, since the storage of the data makes up a lot of the monthly cost.
That means that, when the beta site is launched, everyone will need to start with a fresh new account.
To be clear, your coins that are on the blockchain will be fine and won't be affected; but your empowr balance will be inaccessible until the beta site is launched unfortunately, since it lives in the empowr site and cloud.
When the beta site is launched, your alpha coin balance will appear in the new beta site.
When the beta site is launched in January, the monthly cost of hosting our servers will be much lower because all the data will be gone.
In order to give everyone some time to back up any blogs, photos or other content they have, we are giving the community 31 days before taking down the alpha site.
So please, take some time over the holidays to back up any amazing blogs and other items that you think you will later miss.
The Approach
Instead of trying to bring new citizens into the platform when there are not a lot of people around them (locally, where they live) yet....
... we start by targeting very specific, smaller communities of people, that are the most likely to:
A. Understand and believe in our mission
B. Be open-minded to trying new things
C. And most importantly, immediately benefit from our offerings
The idea was that, somehow, if we can identify smaller, local communities that are the most likely to meet those three (3) criteria...
... and are able to reach them and bring in many of them into the platform quickly...
... then they will find value in the platform and stay engaged.
Then, from there, and with their help – and with their knowledge and experience with our platform, we can start expanding and reaching out to the adjacent communities and people...
... and start bringing them into the platform too...
... until nearly the whole world is utilizing our platform.
The ideal market
So, which local community is most likely to benefit from our offerings, be open minded, and believe in our mission?
Students
Think about it for a moment. Students (in particular college and university students):
Could use some extra income while they are in school, benefitting from earning from posting and sharing
It is hard for them to work 'normal jobs' given that they need flexible work schedules because their class schedules are constantly changing every academic semester. That schedule flexibility is exactly what our platform offers.
Many of them do not have cars, and it is hard for them to physically get to a job location. Again, that location flexibility is a benefit our platform offers.
They are young and will be on this planet for at least another half century, and therefore have shown to be the most motivated to ensure the planet is in good shape (and therefore are most likely to value our Sharing of Everything effort).
So What I've concluded and found on this journey ... is Empowr has developed an App available on Google Marketplace as well as the Apple App Store available for download . They are giving all new members $100 upon sign up and $25 / per affiliate that signs up with their link . Although I have yet to find a way to convert or cash out the Empowr coins I had available on the platform before it shut down , I will give this program a deeper dive and see if I can finally find someone who can help me with the issue since there is now an App connected to the owner of The Empowr Network.
