A Strong Gut Feeling

DateLine | TagVillage

Oct. 29, 2011                                

Over the past several weeks I have been wrestling with a gut feeling that made me feel sick and uneasy, but I could not identify what was causing it. My gut kept telling me there was something wrong, something that would have a profoundly negative effect on the future of tagvillage. Our business has been growing consistently like a weed for almost a year. Then, suddenly out of the blue, it seemed like someone threw on the brakes. Numbers don’t lie. And the data from our site was telling me tagvillage was not performing as it should. The data confirmed to me that my gut instinct was correct. In my gut I knew something within tagvillage was not in line with our mission and principles.

So, I immediately began diving deeper in to the data. I was looking at traffic trends, content delivery, member activity, and member feedback. I began to read and re-read Skype chat rooms and Facebook Group posts, and emails from various members. After several weeks of intense research, prayer, reflection, and meditation, I have arrived at the source of our troubles. The problem with tagvillage lies within the Bazaar.

Will You Help Us Change the World?

DateLine | TagVillage   

October 18, 2011

Why did I start tagvillage?

The ten largest corporations in the USA are Walmart, Exxon Mobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Fannie Mae, General Electric, Berkshire Hathaway, General Motors, Bank of America, and Ford Motor Company. If these ten corporation came together and donated 10% of their annual revenue they could collectively eradicate hunger in Africa. But they won't. These same ten corporations could collectively eradicate poverty in the United States of America with less than 10% of their annual revenue. But they won't.

Will you help us change the world?

I started tagvillage, inc. in September of 2010 for one purpose and one purpose only. I wanted to create a business that could truly change the world. I am sure that Walmart will never freely give 10% of their revenue to charity. I am certain that Google and Microsoft and Bank of America and General Electric and all of the other Fortune 500 companies will never freely give 10% of their revenue to charity. If the Fortune 500 would collectively give 10% of their revenue to charity, they could eradicate poverty, hunger, hundreds of diseases, lack of education, and numerous other global issues. But I know for certain that they will never do this. They will never freely give 10% of every dollar they receive to charity.

We can change this. You and I. We can change the relationship between corporation and humanity. We can choose to build businesses that will give freely from their revenue. We can build businesses that have a purpose to make this world a better place. We can choose to build restaurants that serve great food AND give 10% of their revenue to hunger Causes. We can choose start clothing companies that produce excellent garments and donate 10% of their revenue to Causes fighting poverty. We can choose to create car makers and banks, and grocery stores that donate freely 10% of their revenue to humanitarian interests. We can insist we will only do business with businesses that freely give 10% of their revenue to charity.

Or, we can continue to feed the greed and power of the Fortune 500.




How can you help us change the world?
It begins with tagvillage. Join us! Become part of this amazing village of people working together for a common purpose. Help us build this online community. Together, we can build a search engine that will take the power and money of the major search engines and divert it Charity. Together we can build a social network that will take the power and money of the major social sites and flow freely toward Charity. Together, you and I, can change the world!

I have been working on this project for a long time. I need help. Now, I am calling on you as my partner, my fellow tagvillager. What if you did everything you could to help us find a new partner every day? What if you focused everything you have on just one new member each day. What if you found one new person, taught them about tagvillage, taught them about our purpose, showed them how to earn money and help charity at the same time, and taught them to find one new member each day. What if every tagvillage member did this every day? In a very short while, we could change the world!

That is truly all it takes! All we need to do, each and every one of us, is go out and find 1 new person every day and encourage them to join our mission. If each of us brings 1 new person into the village every day, and if each of these new people become active and also start seeking 1 new person every day, we can change the world faster than anyone could dream possible. We could take the power and control and money out of the hands of the Fortune 500 conglomerates. We could put it back into the hands of the needy. Will you help us change the world?

$500,000 Tag Guru Contest

DateLine | TagVillage

Tag Guru Contest

tagvillage is giving away $500,000 in prizes!

We are hunting for the Tag Guru. Could it be you? What are you waiting for?! Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to gobble up some amazing cash prizes. This is the easiest contest to win prizes ever!

tagvillage is building 6 major platforms. Three of them are now complete and live on the site. Three of them are now being developed and will be live over the next 6 to 12 months. However, we need you help to build them!





The tagvillage Referral Platform is now complete. You can refer your friends and earn great commissions!




The tagvillage TagTrading Platform is now complete. You can build an incredible inventory of Tags for future wealth!








The tagvillage Bazaar Platform is now complete. Use your skills to compete with other tagVillagers and win BIG!






The tagvillage Social Platform is in development. However, we are way too short of the Tags database needed to build proper association systems!






The tagvillage Search Platform is in development. However, we are way too short of the Tags database needed to build proper association systems!
 
 
 
 

 
The tagvillage Tagvertising Platform is in development. However, we are way too short of the Tags database needed to target advertising effectively!
 
 
 
We need more Tags in the database!


As you can see, the final 3 platforms rely on a healthy Tags database to function properly. Tags are required to build associations between conversations, searches, emotions, actions, and advertisements. Tags are also required to deliver advertising channels effectively. Therefore, we really need our members to discover more Tags. There are literally billions of Tags that are not in our database yet!

In order to encourage you to help us build this database, we have decided to hold a Tag related contest called the Tag Guru Contest. We think this new contest will make Tags irresistible!

How does the contest work?
1. Members earn points trading Tags
2. Points earn shares of 3 different pools of $100,000
3. If your referrals trade more, you earn more $$$
4. 5 special members share a pool of $100,000
5. 1 very special member gets their own pool of $100,000
