Zurker is a new Social Network.
Unlike Facebook and MySpace, Zurker is co-owned by it’s users. That’s
right, YOU become the co-owner, YOU are the future stockholder of Zurker. By helping Zurker grow, you have the potential of helping your wallet grow(Earn lots of $ Money $ from the Profit of Zurker).
When you help a social network grow, such as Facebook, you help the
founders and investors put money in their pockets. When Zurker grows,
you gain to put money in YOUR pocket.
Must Read :
Zurker is totally free to join. I have included an invitation for you below, which you will need because Zurker is in it’s beta testing
stage and won’t be available to the general public until April 2012…so
if you want to join now, you need the Zurker invitation link I
included. Imagine if you were given the opportunity to join Facebook when it was in it’s beta testing stage and were given 1 share in the company for every person you referred – all without investing any money!! Imagine
what your share in the company would be worth now! Oh well, we can’t
dwell on what could have been. We need to look to the future. Zurker
is the future, and a new concept for a social network that is user
driven, user based, and user owned, which gives it a lot of potential to
rival social networks like Facebook. Zurker allows you to earn money while being socially connected. A free invitation to join and a free share in the company for every referred member, why would want not want to join Zurker?! You have nothing to lose, right?
Why is this cool? You must be totally hooked and convinced. Here’s why:
1. Open and Responsive
I posed lots of questions
to the co-founders and I was amazed by how quickly and openly they
responded. They treated me as a friend and colleague and welcomed
searching questions. This was a clincher for me. Imagine trying to ask
Mark Z difficult questions about Facebook! By the way, the User ID’s of
the co-founders are Cineman and Berzurker and once you have joined. Zurker you can just post questions on their walls. I found that I got full answers within a few hours.
2. Owned By Its Members
I like the idea of social media owned by its members. It certainly beats the Facebook model.
3. Members Share In The Growth And Profits
The
only investment needed is a little time. Time you might otherwise have
wasted making the owners of Facebook or Twitter a little richer.
4. You Have Total Control Of Your Own Privacy
You control your privacy (for every update and photo
you post) through the use of zurks, tags, street & home concepts. I
guess I ought to explain a bit more. A “zurk” is a bit like a Facebook
“like” but it’s better because it’s a more neutral word. For example it
somehow seems inappropriate to “like” a post about someone dying but in
Zurker you would “zurk” it to highlight it was a post worth sharing.
You can associate tags with your connections on Zurker.
Tags could be “Friends”, “Family” or “Hubbers” or any tag you make up.
Only you can see your tags, so you could tag someone as “time-waster”
and they would never know (I’m not sure if I’m brave enough to use derogatory tags just yet).
Your “Street” page is where you can see all the updates posted by all you connections,
but you can filter these by tag (see above). Your home page only shows
updates that directly involve you and again you can filter by tag.
5. Open Books, Open Statistics, Open Bug-Reporting, Open Everything!
Zurker publishes online (via links at the bottom of every Zurker page) every cent that comes in and every cent that goes out. Membership
figures and graphs are updated and displayed every hour. There is a
link to report bugs and you can read any bug that has been reported and
the developers’ responses.
6. Unique Features
Such as Zurks, Tags, Street/Home etc. see 3, above, for more details.
7. Democratic
Members will be able to control everything by voting.
8. Development Driven By Members’ Ideas
There will be an “Ideas” link where members will be able to suggest ideas and vote to select the best ideas.
9. Personal Identity and Business Identities Separate
Zurker will
have a separate type of membership businesses known as “Entities”. You
will know whether you are connecting with a real person or a business.
10. No Advertising And (Almost) No Spam
Zurker is advert free and has a very strict anti-spam policy.
11. Responsible, Bright, Creative and Positive Members
Because all of all that Zurker has to offer it is attractive to people that think for themselves.
12. Zurker Is Fun!
Zurker is a cool name to play with and we already have Zurker slang and culture.
In
other words, business as usual. If you’re competing with Facebook,
business as usual doesn’t cut the mustard. You’ll need something totally
fresh – a brand new, innovative approach. This is why I’m keeping an
eye on a brash new startup called Zurker.
These guys received no funding at all from VC’s. All their funding
comes from their members who invest small amounts, typically less than
$100. In exchange, the members get equity in the form of “virtual shares” or vShares.
Members
can also gain vShares by referring their friends to the project, and
that is pretty clever. It seems to be a mixture between Facebook and
Google + but with a unique selling point: it’s owned by its members! You
earn shares in Zurker by referring members. You get 2 shares for each referral in the first 24 hours of your membership and one share per referral thereafter. There are separate Zurkers for each major country- so I’m a member of Zurker UK. You can also buy shares (in the UK they currently sell for £1 each). Each country has a limit of one million shares.
Important:
At Zurker you are rewarded for your referred sign-ups. With each
referred sign-up you are rewarded Zurker 1 vShare. If you have at least
1 vShare, you have a stake in the company and are considered a co-owner
of the company. You will want to refer people to Zurker and see the
site succeed because the more vShares you have, the higher your
investment in Zuker will be. Imagine if Facebook gave you 1 share for
each member you signed up!
At Zurker the members are considered co-owners. Compared to advertising, vShares are a low-cost alternative
for driving the growth of the user base and traffic. For Zurker it’s a
risky move to give equity to its members but this is what is attracting
so much attention, and what is going to make Zurker a success. How much
of a success? Only time will tell.
What Is A vShare?
A
vShare, also known as a virtual share, is a stake in Zurker. One vShare
is equivalent to ownership of 1/1,000,000 of Zurker. Currently, vShares
are priced at $1.00. (whether you earned them free from referred
sign-ups or you bought them with your hard earned cash). vShares entitle
the you to own equity in Zurker, and shares in the future Zurker
corporation. Zurker will be incorporated as a company when 1,000,000
vShares have been allocated. At that juncture, the value of a vShare
should be about ten times as much, as successful startups with more than
500,000 users can easily gain a valuation of $5+ million. If Zurker
were to continue to grow and attain a valuation of $50 billion like
Facebook, each vShare would be worth $50,000. Of course, it’s unwise to
assume that Zurker will attain the same level of valuation as the
Facebook…. but anything is possible, especially when the owners are the
users/members and have a vested stake in the company.
Bebo
was sold to AOL for $800 million. At that level of valuation, each
vShare would be worth $800. MySpace was sold for $580 million – about
$580 per vShare.
The above estimates are based on capital gains.
If Zurker were never to sell out – and a user base of owner-investors
would probably oppose selling out to a large corporation – the value of
vShares would be determined by the earnings of the company and the
dividends paid quarterly. If Zurker earns a net profit of $100 million,
then each vShare would entitle the owner to a pretax income of $100. If
you own 10 vShares now, that would translate to an income of $1,000 per
quarter.
While
vShares are a form of ownership, they aren’t actual stock. vShares can
be thought of as agreements between the owners of a startup about the
size of their stake in the enterprise to be incorporated. vShares aren’t
stock yet because Zurker isn’t a public company yet. When 1,000,000
vShares have been allocated, Zurker will be restructured as a public
corporation and vShares will become real shares!
If
Zurker succeeds, you the co-owner succeeds. What if Zurker doesn’t
succeed and goes bankrupt? Then you will lose your shares, whether you
received them free or purchased them. However, many people believe that
Zurker is the next “big thing”, and that their concept of a user based,
user driven and user owned networking site is a brilliant idea with the
potential to rival some of the biggest networking sites on the internet.
My Personal Recommendation:I
would never have guessed that I would have the chance to own part of a
social network that will overtake Facebook. Imagine if you had been
offered the opportunity to own part of Facebook for zero cost, would you
have seized the moment? You have a similar chance with Zurker right
now. At the moment it’s in beta and membership is by invitation only, so
here’s your invite:-
Facebook, G +, Twitter does not give the shares to us, but Zurker will give the shares to you. Facebook, G+, Twitter is not pay, but Zurker will
pay you.Even though Zurker is in beta, membership is steadily
climbing. You still need an invite to get in, so . So don’t delay,
