Vendor Host of the FDU
POST: Vendor Host of the FDU
| Topics: |  Free Digital Universe |
The Free Digital Universe (FDU) is a non-violent virtual reality that pays people to play games, social network, and share affiliate products; this system is specifically designed so that everyone in the world, even third world Users, can begin to earn into the Internet economy starting from nothing. FDU is a association of charities, corporations, and non-governmental organizations. Corporations are "vendors" who profit from participating in the FDU. 
Global Digital Publishing (GDP) is the “Commercial Host” of a unique virtual reality game called Free Digital Universe (FDU) where players earn real goods and services. GDP earns profits by providing applications for these users through any of five unique business divisions.
Players have multiple options for earning Points in the Game, such as marketing others products, publishing personally authored content for profit, gaming, advertising and more. Each GDP division profits by providing the software applications that enables the player’s choices, thereby serving our users and shareholders simultaneously.
GDP Officers oversee, audit, integrate, and direct the five (5) separate divisions:
1) ShareMyBiz: marketing, website, and cyber shopping malls
2) FreeBay: digital self publishing and affiliate distribution
3) UltraTribe: in-world gaming
4) Hospitality: conventions and travel sold in Points
5) Expedition: Product sold in Points requiring payment in public money[1]
Players are given a website witha built in CyberMall by the ShareMyBiz (SMB) division, from this website players can share information, sell digital content, post images, music, videos, and create blogs utilizing their own Avatar character. Each Avatar is paid with a common unencumbered currency (called a Point) that may be traded for real products, services, and converted into other currencies.
Access to the FDU Game is open to users who have no address or credit card or choose not to use their credit card on-line for reasons of security. Wealth is earned from participating in the FDU Game, Avatars earn Points, which they can use for purchases, and therefore no credit card or personal information is required.
[1] Players may purchase items from affiliate suppliers such as Amazon by paying GDP division 5 in Points, we expedite the public purchase by paying Amazon in dollars, taking a small percent for being the go-between.
The outcomes we hope to achieve include testing a comprehensive Information Age economic model that sustainably addresses extreme global poverty, over-use of natural resources, and unequal compensation in a increasingly globalized world.
The wholistic design is intended to produce an Information Age commerce system that will result in greater wealth and freedom for everyone, even those living in emerging countries, while also responding to ever-growing pressures on our natural environment.
1) Earning digital wealth to increase quality of life;
2) Supporting charitable organizations working for a sustainable future;
3) Exploring the capacity of our human soul in it's relationship to the universe as a living co-creator, using a Game model that is fun, free, and easy; and
4) Easing the transition betwen the Industrial Age and newly birthing Information Age.
1) Sell to Visitors from extensive Affiliate Product catalogs.
2) Sell or Buy P2P at FDU in-world Auctions.
4) Publish your Digital Products for Affiliate Distribution.
5) Play, Create, and Earn enjoying Contests and Games.
6) Share in ad generated revenue from your personal CyberMall
Each new Avatar Soule entering the Game chooses a charitable "Soule Family" from which their unique Avatar Soule derives. As a Avatar increases in Life Force Points from actions in FDU, a over-ride is donated to a charity associated with their Soule Family by the Game Vendors. In this way, each Player Soule automatically helps to fund charities of interest to each unique Player.
This model offers something for everyone in today’s global online economy. In addition, users can choose to remain anonymous, and parents can set permission controls. The main Vendor serving Players in the FDU, Global Digital Publishing, expects to be bigger than eBay, creating a great deal of profit for it's shareholders, and for the charities involved because GDP can access a much greater protion of the Global Population. Our users will make more sales than eBay users, and become more profitable for the reasons elucidated by the following Chart Comparison.
COMPARISON: eBay versus FDU (GDP) Models
| eBay | FDU / GDP Model |
| Users must supply a product if they wish to sell something. Many people, especially in developing countries, have nothing they can sell to enter the marketplace. |
Users may sell other members digitally published products, their own items at auctions, or sell affiliate provided items from suppliers such as Amazon. |
| It is a minimum .35 cents to sell something at eBay, thereby keeping out all whom have no way to enter the digital economy | Users may sell their own, or others, products directly to those visiting their website without start-up, maintenance, or “other” charges. It is free for all to participate as a means to Enter the digital marketplace |
| Userscontract is a legal liability, with the account and all it's contents belonging to the eBay Corporation, andencumbered by the registration of the corporation in (in-corporated) the Secretary of States office. | Users Contract is a Legal Asset with liability limited to their Avatars Digital Account. The natural rights of the living being are recognized in the User Agreement. |
| Users of the system work out the payment method; i.e. paypal, e-gold, check in the mail, etc… | SMB handles all merchant, payment, and remuneration automatically, without fraud |
| You must be 18 years old | No restriction |
| You must have a SSN, IN, or other personally identifying information | Only an e-mail address is required |
| You must provide them with an address, many emerging markets have no address, credit card, or identification | No address required, no identification, no credit card |
| Users are expected to resolve their own disputes, sometimes with the help of eBay staff, at expense to eBay | The FDU platform has a no-nonsense, speedy and fair dispute resolution process; additionally, since SMB suppliers are Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other reliable vendors (as opposed to out-of-garage sellers) – we expect little to no fraud |
| eBay can access approx. 15% of the total Internet marketplace due to the above listed restrictions | Because of “others” restrictions, SMB is the singular solution for over 58% of Internet Users; and has capacity to access 100% of both current and future Users whom come online |
| According to Forbes, eBay is worth $46 Billion. eBay said revenues for all of 2006 were between $5.7 billion and $5.9 billion | You guess whatGDP will be worth in one year? ShareMyBiz Division? FreeBay Division? |
Practically speaking one might equate the GDP platform to that of E-Bay, we each allow people a place to offer something to others, our system is far superior because we take the necessary steps to ensure the integrity of a transaction once initiated. That is we ensure the parties are paid, that receipts or other data are delivered to the parties, that the product is delivered, and that disputes are resolved between parties should they arise. Additionally we offer an affiliate aspect to selling things that E-Bay does not, and we provide each User with a on-line turn-key business of their own.
Social Need The Company is Designed to Full-fill:
GDP will empower many people in third world countries who do not have a credit card or bank account. GDP will free these users from restrictions presently encountered through e-commerce sites such as eBay. Due to the viral nature of the FDU system theough which GDP users are paid, GDP expects to capture a great deal of the third world market.
GDP willempower a new market of users who will emerge from economically depressed countries where computer access is common, such as India, Brazil, and Russia. These users will be at a relative advantage over the users of developed countries because of the difference in cost of living as reflected in currency exchange rates.
“Africa does need debt relief from its crushing international debt burden. But aid and debt relief can only go so far. We are asking for the opportunity to compete, to sell our goods in global markets; in short we want to trade our way out of poverty.” ~ Pres. Yoweri Musuveni of Uganda
“To address poverty, economic growth is not a option: it is a necessity.”~ Mahbub Haq, former VP of the World Bank
“The powerlessness we feel is not a sign of personal failings, but reflects the incapacities of our institutions. We need to reconstruct those we have, or create new ones, for globalization is not incidental to our lives; it is the way we live now.” ~ Anthony Giddens
“Adjustment is the necessary first step on the road to sustainable, poverty reducing growth. Even incomplete adjustment can put countries back on the road to development.”~ International Bank for Reconstruction & Development -1994
GDP was designed to be part of the solution for the very obvious dramatic problems facing our world today. We have a excellent opportunity to become a significant player in the globalized economy by integrating a wealth of services to these emerging markets, and while meeting current market User needs by combining Anonymity, Social Networking, and Affiliate Marketing.
The growing demand for digital wealth, as opposed to wealth based on substance, will increase worldwide, creating a new global economy on the Internet.
