The Next Google, eBay and PayPal All Rolled Into One - DXinOne

May. 31st 2007
Technorati

Ever wonder who the next Google, eBay or PayPal is going to be? Want to “get in on the ground floor” like the early employees of these companies who got cheap stock options and were able to cash them in later for big payoffs? This article will guide you toward just such an opportunity — one that anyone can take advantage of with a modest investment of time and money.

Google. eBay. PayPal. These are currently the biggest names on the Internet (not counting MicroSoft). But rewind just 7-10 years back to the late 1990’s. Who were the biggest names on the Internet then? Yahoo. AltaVista. Netscape. And America Online (AOL).

Do you see where I’m going with this? Things change. Markets change. Original ideas rise to the fore, and better mousetraps do get invented every once in awhile. From time to time, an original idea will succeed in its original form until someone buys it up and runs it into the ground. Or, perhaps, a competitor copycats the idea and doesn’t necessarily build it better, but rather has a better marketing department and/or more money behind them (Microsoft vs. Apple).

Sometimes, a startup (PayPal) will be wildly successful and then be bought out and be even more successful with the backing of the new buyer (eBay). And sometimes, competition ends up being healthy, with multiple vendors offering similar products and services. The main point is this: competitive forces are constantly driving and changing the marketplace.

One thing that Google, eBay and PayPal have all proven in recent years is that “better mousetraps” can benefit from meteoric rises to the top of the charts/markets/collective-consciousness. If you think about it, it really was not all that long ago that none of these companies even existed. But yet today, nearly every Internet user on this planet knows who these 3 companies are AND HOW TO GET TO THEIR WEBSITES - and that literally means BILLIONS of people.

So what does this have to do with DXinOne? Here’s what I know: DXinOne has been working for more than 5 years to create similar services to each of these three giants. I could also throw in names such as Travelocity, TimeShares.com, and CraigsList as “names” that correlate to service-lines that DXinOne is working on and/or already has in place.

adsXposed is a lot like Google’s AdSense and AdWords programs. With Google, publishers use AdSense to add advertising streams to their websites, while advertisers use AdWords to place the ads that run on that network and on Google’s search network. In DXinOne, there is also an added wrinkle which I will cover separately in it’s own article — an affiliate program that enables you to earn commissions on advertising purchases.

DXinOne is currently working on releasing DXFinder, DXClassifieds, DXConcierge, DXTraveller and DXTravelAgent, just to name a few of their upcoming service lines.

DXFinder is a full-fledged search engine. Google rapidly rose to dominance by simply inventing a better search engine than anyone else had or has been able to come up with since. Will DXFinder be a superior search engine to Google? Only time will tell, but they are serious about entering the market and it certainly should help amplify the inherent value and market- acceptance of adsXposed as well as all of the other DXServices.

DXAuctions is also forthcoming. This will compete directly with eBay. This would seem to be an even more daunting task than competing with Google, but wait: eBay has owned PayPal for several years now, and they have still yet to “get on the ball” and implement something that DXAuctions will have in place from Day One - actually it’s already “in place” within the DXSystem and has been for several years — built-in escrow payment capabilities. DXDirects will help eliminate a lot of the fraud that pervades so many innocent people’s eBay shopping experiences.

And as a “payment processor”, DXinOne is going to be playing in a league in which it has no peers. DXAccounts are so much more secure than PayPal accounts. PayPal transactions are subject to charge-backs and highly susceptible to fraud. DXinOne requires users to provide extensive identification and place of residence/business documentation in order to earn a high rating and have access to all the features of the DXSystem. At PayPal, a fraudster can sign up for an account and within 5 minutes be using a stolen credit card to commit fraudulent transactions. That just does not and will not happen with DXinOne because they have specifically taken the time to “get it right”. They’ve been in development for 5+ years. These are not just some ideas that have been thrown against the wall to see what sticks. They have studied the competition and evolved their offerings into “better mousetraps”.

With DXinOne, we are “early birds”, much like the early employees of Google with their stock options - it’s structured quite a bit differently, quite a bit better actually - but the basic principle is the same.

Hyped

May. 29th 2007
Technorati

Most of us think of hype as exaggerated or extravagant claims, made especially in advertising or promotional material. Sometimes it is deceptive and deliberately misleading. While we have become a bit immune to this through constant exposure, it always seems that someone comes up with a fresh approach that is not immediately recognized.

Con artists have been around since the beginning of time, and are always willing to take advantage of another “hot prospect”. But every scam has “red flags” and a little common sense should prevail so you do not fall prey to them. Let’s examine a few we get by email everyday.

“Complimentary Vacation Package” - this one has been around a long time, but has now found its way to the web. It starts off with “Congratulations! You will be our guest in Orlando, Florida, home of Walt Disney World, for 4 days and 3 nights. All compliments of major Vacation Resort Developers.” Reading it, you might feel you have won a contest. In actuality, this is not the case. It is a high pressure sales campaign designed to sell you a “timeshare” vacation package.

Another variation promises deeply discounted vacation packages. You pay for a package that seems great on the surface, but in reality is either third rate accommodations or doesn’t exist at all.

“Guaranteed Winner” - they state - “You’re going to get one of these top five prizes, guaranteed!” In this scam you normally send some information, and either return it by email or fill out a form on a web site. They require that you supply your telephone number to be eligible. You will then be contacted by a telemarketer who confirms that you have been chosen for one of the five “valuable” prizes; however, you must pay a processing fee for handling, customs duties or taxes, and you must send a check or money order to them by overnight mail. The prize usually winds up being small trinkets of minimal value, discount coupons or vouchers, worth far less than what you paid.

Or, you might receive an e-mail informing you that your order has been received and processed, and your credit card will be billed for the charges. The trouble is, you haven’t ordered anything. They contacted you using bulk email, using inactive return addresses which prevent you from refuting the orders by email. They do provide a telephone number in the area code 767, which is actually in the West Indies. They try to keep callers on the line as long as possible, and you are reportedly billed as much as $25 per minute. Be aware that your local telephone company may bill for services provided by other companies, and not be able to provide you relief.

Another current scam floating about the web offers you a cut of stolen money from Nigeria that was stolen and they need your help getting the money out of the country. They of course want a cut of the money that they claim will be wired to your personal bank account. You of course are expected to pay them their share up front. The money however never arrives in your bank.

One group sends hundreds of thousands of unsolicited emails to people directing them to web sites promoting the Mega$Nets and MegaResource programs. When you visit one of their web sites you can download copies of the software program which contains a list of five names and addresses. The software program and web sites direct you to send twenty dollars to each of five people listed in the software in order for you to get yourself placed at the top of the list of names. This is simply a variation of the old fashioned chain letter. Actually, there are a lot of chain letters floating about the web and all should be avoided.

Another email promises guaranteed Credit Card approval! One group offered Visa cards to the credit-challenged “to put you back in the mainstream of financial life in high style” at an interest rate of only 4.9%. How? Through the magic of using offshore banks in tax haven countries. There is however a $100 processing fee and $25 per month charge regardless of use.

Some people really believe that they have been selected to be in the Internet Version of “Who’s Who”. This one started years ago and was sent to every company executive in the country - They will include your listing at no charge - oh, would you like a copy? “Send $98 to us and it will be delivered to your doorstep.”

There is no way to adequately cover all the scams that permeate the web. Before jumping into any of these “make a million while you sleep” plans, use a little “due diligence” and check them out. The money you save will be your own.
