Our vision is to create a website which would foster a new kind of economic model which we have developed. This free market model will empower individuals to pursue their God given skills and talents and rely on their own ability to make a living instead of having to seek employment in a system, which we feel is starting to go through drastic unstable changes. We hope by the creation of this website and system we can create a kind of haven to ride out the current economic storm.
The idea is to create an independent economy, which would function as a club or organization. This organization would stress but not enforce buying from other members of the organization. The website would function as a transparent via medium between buyers and sellers. Members who buy from other members will be featured via a Karma system thus enhancing their business potential. There will also be other incentives to create a community trading culture. Buying through the website will be open to the general public and selling would only require a very minimal annual fee to join as a member (5-20$). All exchange would be between members on a personal basis and no buying or selling would occur on the website proper, although we will provide a system to facilitate trading/bartering. We would only serve to connect buyers and sellers.
The website will allow very detailed profiles of members and their businesses to offer their skills, talents, services and products for sale. They can share links and edit their profile appearance and functionality in an open source format.
To ensure quality, all members would be subject to peer review and we reserve the right to revoke privileges/remove any user who does not follow the community guidelines.
