Knowledge Booster Secrets
1) WHY is this product being launched?
1) WHY is this product being launched?
In order to fully understand this product, it’s necessary to first understand "Why" it’s being launched:
What problems will it attempt to solve?
So first, a quick refresher on what FanBox is attempting to accomplish:
Over the last century, technology enabled almost all of us to move away from the farms and factories.
Most of us are now Knowledge Workers.
Saying it another way:
Thanks to new technology -- farmers and factory workers are now 10 times more productive than they were back then.
(Those new technologies included electricity, motors and engines, chemicals and fertilizers).
That’s why most of us are now Knowledge Workers: We’re simply no longer needed for growing or making things – thanks totechnology enablers.
So, the question is, has new technology also enabled Knowledge Workers to get 10 times more productive?
The answer, thus far, is: NO.
For proof, just take a look at some of the Knowledge Workers that existed 100 years ago: Teachers, doctors and lawyers:
Teachers today still teach a classroom of 30 students, just like they did 100 years ago.
Doctors and Lawyers also fared the same, handling virtually the same number of patients and clients as they did back then.
Of course, as Knowledge Workers today, we come in many different flavors -- each with our own purpose to use our knowledge to get something done; or to educate, inform or entertain people.
Knowledge Workers -- all of us -- are ready to realize our FULL POTENTIAL!
In seeking to help us each find our full potential, FanBox believes that each of us has at least one special role in the Knowledge Economy:
a role that will bring value to society
a role that we'll be able to excel and become an expert at
a role that we’ll be able to achieve fair compensation from
In order to enable us to have that special role – FanBox believes that all is missing are some new technology enablers.
Technology came to the rescue of farmers and factory workers. It can and will do the same for us!
What we need is new technology to solve the final missing piece of the knowledge value chain.
What’s the final missing piece?
In fact, I will stop at this point – to allow you to follow that link, read the post, and return.
It’s better if you don’t continue reading until you’re caught up.

Did you go back and remind yourself what the missing piece is?
It will only take you about 2 minutes! For your convenience, here's the link again.

OK, good.
Now you recall that the World Wide Web enabled Knowledge Producers to distribute their knowledge to Knowledge Consumers anywhere in the world.
So, what's the problem? What's the "missing piece"?
The missing piece is that value -- COMPENSATION -- is not coming back to the Knowledge Worker.
The World Wide Web has yet to provide a solution that adequately compensates the Knowledge Worker.
So the Knowledge Economy -- especially as it can be enabled by the World Wide Web -- is broken.
This is a big problem.
And if it's not solved soon -- society will have much bigger issues:
Why is this a big problem?
The global economy is in turmoil.
Unemployment is bad and getting worse.
In California, already 10% are unemployed – and this number does not include people that gave up looking for work and/or took a part-time job.
By all accounts, unemployment will soon get worse, as we're now being told that we're headed into a "second recession" -- and possibly even a depression.
Even the employed population is suffering:
Now, for the first time in decades, MOST employed people are not happy with their jobs.
They are not doing what they wish they were doing.
They know they should be “happy that they even have a job”; but somehow they don't get out of bed every day feeling much of that happiness.
The masses are unhappy.
Discontent is brewing EVERYWHERE.
Did you hear about the riots in the streets of London last month?
Remember that London is the capital city of one of the RICHEST countries in the world.
(For a data-driven study into the causes and consequences of the London riots, visit READING THE RIOTS from the UK Guardian and the London School of Economics)
Something needs to happen, before it’s too late.
What’s needed is breakthrough technology that enables millions of people to get to work.
This technology must focus on Knowledge Work -- because that’s what 90% of us do.
The technology must allow us all to become productive -- CREATING VALUE FOR SOCIETY – and RECEIVING FAIR COMPENSATION in return.
This is why FanBox was started.
Creating these solutions is why nearly one thousand (1,000) people sacrificed months or years of their lives to work at FanBox; most leaving well-paid jobs to work for little (or no) pay and double long hours.
It is the importance of this purpose that was the source of thedozens of inventions that FanBox has on file with the United States Patent Office; many of which are things that today we all use on a daily basis all over the Web.
But is FanBox succeeding?
As you know, first FanBox created technology so Knowledge Workers could realize value (earn money) by sharing their knowledge via a simple blogging tool.
Many of you have generated good money on FanBox -- by mastering the process of blogging while at the same time building your fan base and community.
However, others haven't done so well.
Some people only recently heard of FanBox and just got started. They are still learning the ropes.
To help with the learning curve, FanBox recently launched theSuccess Coach program, and the number of Success Coaches is ramping up. Soon, everyone will be able to have their own Success Coach.
But some have had a difficult time with the "split focus" needed to both create AND promote blogs.
To help with this focus issue, FanBox recently made it so that to make money using FanBox Ads, one no longer needs to be a blogger.
He or she can now earn by being a Knowledge Promoter; by promoting other people's blogs – creating the opportunity for the blogger to focus on his or her craft.
That meant that it’s no longer necessary to be good at BOTH being a Knowledge Producer and being a Knowledge Promoter.
Everyone can focus on doing what they enjoy the most to maximize their earnings.
However, FanBox still has a big problem.
Not everyone is succeeding.
