I'm Mage. Here's my idea

[Mage]

I found MJ's book, The Millionaire Fastlane , for more than a month now. I'm finished with that and almost finished with Unscripted .

Right now, I'm working on my project with the aim of being financially free by adding value ginormous amount of value to society.

The project is a web app. I'm studying web app development, designing the perfect user experience, and perfectly hooking people to the web app. I have no monetization plan yet. My plan is to add value to and hook at least 1 billion people in a year's time. Moon shot I know.

I'm currently on the idea validation phase. I'll survey 500 people to validate my idea.

Since I'm here, I'm going to share with you the idea and would appreciate your feedback on it.

Read this as if you're the user
1. I want to feel hopeful by looking at the good interactions around my area, my country, and the world and knowing the number of good interactions that happens in the world per second
2. I want to contribute in making the world a better place by being helpful, truthful, and kind to people around me whenever I can.
3. I want to reward people with helpfulness, truthfulness, and kindness points if they were helpful, truthful, and kind to me.
4. I want to receive helpfulness, truthfulness, and kindness point if I was helpful, truthful, and kind.
5. I want to add a message whenever I reward goodness points so the receiver would know what's the goodness point for and for the receiver to keep it up.

Honestly, I find my idea cheesy. Maybe you don't feel or think the same. Feedback are welcome.

Mage,

Your idea sounds very idealistic, and not very well planned out. From what I was able to understand, it sounds like you want to create an app where people can reward others for doing positive things in society. Why would I want to receive feedback? Just to feel good about myself? Why would I want to give feedback?

How are you going to track and validate these goodness points? Or are you just going to take people's word for it that something good was actually done?

Also, the idea of good and 'goodness' are very subjective. Not all people define this the same. I don't mean to shoot down your idea, but I think there is a lot more planning and thinking you need to do before you have a serious idea. Targeting everyone in the world is almost too big of a target market. Remember, Facebook started out as a networking site only for Harvard students before it became a multi-billion person network.

I think you need to focus on why people would want to use this app first. And then focus on how it would work in detail.

Hello Jake,

I appreciate your thoughts. I agree with you - the idea needs more refinement.

Right now I'm wondering how to get people to try out the app for the first time and how do I get people to market the product to others.

My visionary customers, those who will use the product in its early stage are men of goodwill, of peaceful and loving intentions, men of intelligent kindness and goodness. And from there, figure out how I can serve and add value to others.

Users would want to receive feedback to feel good about themselves - a dopamine source, and to create a habit of good behaviour, ie being more helpful, kind, and/or truthful.

"Why would I want to give feedback"
That's a good question. I don't have an answer yet. Will think about it.
