Cloud Sharing

A Cloud Sharingsm World is Coming!

The Core Philosophy

From the heart, Cloud Sharingsm thrives on the win-win principle that “Helping Yourself Helps Others.” It’s a powerful, non-cash system that transforms unused “stuff” into a generous “crypto-esque” currency you keep in the Cloud Sharing Bank. As the Cloud Sharing World expands so will your opportunities to Help Yourself as you Help Others.

Cloud Sharingsm is guided by six core actions:

SHARE ~ GIVE ~ RECYCLE ~ CONSERVE ~ SAVE ~ SHOP

It works like this: If one person needs your stuff its an asset. Cloud Sharing uses AI and specialty resources to determine a retail price for your stuff/assets (like you might find on Market Place, Craigslist, etc.) and generously adds 50-200% for a Cloud Sharing appraisal value. Your stuff/assets listed anywhere can include a retail (cash) purchase price and an optional Cloud Sharing Bank purchase price. A link for the transaction would be imbedded. The cash price represents the residual value of your stuff/assets while Cloud Sharing reveals the generous intrinsic perception of value.

JeanBank.com will be the first dedicated Cloud Sharing site. It will specialize in current and vintage denim, casual clothes and accessories. Cloud Sharers are encouraged to share boxes of goods and happily keep 100 %.

Cloud Sharing Three-Part Ecosystem

The Cloud Sharingsm network is a complete system with three distinct but interconnected components:

  1. CloudSharing.org: (501c3) This is the free mission-driven, public-facing hub and matchmaker. It serves to introduce and explain the Cloud Sharingsm philosophy and showcase the positive impact of the movement for individuals and organizations especially charities. It’s the brand’s voice and the place for users to learn why, where and how Helping Yourself Helps Others.
  2. Cloud Sharing Bank: This is the powerful engine that runs the entire economy. Its sole purpose is to provide a generous, retail appraisal for any asset, a critical service since charities cannot do so by law (IRS Pub. 561). It uses a formula and AI to appraise and recommend a Cloud Sharing value, but the owner has the final say, giving them power and control. It generates all of its revenue from a modest “post-purchase transaction fee” applied only when an exchange of proprietary Cloud Sharing currency occurs. You can do anything you want with your money but cash it out.
  3. Cloud Sharing World: This is the central hub and the “Google” of the sharing economy. It is not a direct marketplace but a database that aggregates and refers users to assets listed on various independent partner sites (like Market Place, Craigslist or JeanBank.com).

The Revolutionary Business Model

The Cloud Sharing model is unique because:

  • Value is Created: Perceived value is literally pulled out of thin air, and since the currency is non-cashable, its value is a permanent addition to the Cloud Sharing currency in circulation.
  • User Empowerment: Perception of Value – the system is based on the psychological insight that people feel more empowered by the value they receive for their goods than what they pay. The owner’s “my shit is gold” perspective is a key driver.
  • Scalability: The hub-and-spoke model of Cloud Sharing allows for infinite scalability, as any website or brick-and-mortar store can become a partner, accept Cloud Sharing currency, and share in the transaction fee revenue.
  • Proof of Concept: JeanBank.com is the perfect initial test case, a focused platform that can prove the model’s viability before it expands to all assets on Earth.

In essence, Cloud Sharingsm takes the trillions of dollars in goods with significant intrinsic value (but limited secondary market value) and unlocks it, creating a new and permanent economic system for everyone’s benefit and a new virtually unlimited resource for charities.
