"Open Alpha"
Love the direction of this phase \ (•◡•) /
It's a really huge step forward in how it's engaging people to interact with each other through sharing like a real society \ (•◡•) /
Thank you for never giving up and always moving forward to some better by engaging the base \ (•◡•) /
Dearest Prrs. Brisn.
I found the post very interestng.
As to my case, I won' t be able sble to do this feature becaise it needs personal touch from me.i have three kids yo care of and I think, Selling products via Lbc is the best thong for me. With this, I hope you fully understand why I cannot be very actve on this aspect…
Success and good luck to all of us!..
May God bless us all!
Ty-mady
Hi Amada, thank you for sharing. Our goal with all the new features (sharing, transporting, etc.) has been to give citizens "options." empowr is about freedom and choice, which is why we are doing everything in our power to give citizens like yourself the option to choose HOW you'd like to earn and contribute. We wish you the best of luck with selling in the empowr marketplace (as Brian reminds everyone - focus on listing as many products and services as possible, so that the algorithms favor your stuff). We hope that you'll have the chance to try sharing - with your busy lifestyle, with transporting, you won't even need to leave the comfort of your own home to do so. Thank you, Amada, and all the best!
Thank you, Brian for the updates!
I second the motion Oxana, Thank you to our President Brian and empowr team.
Learn More and Earn More. Amazing features, only here at empowr.
While a bit difficult. Let's try in business
Hi Elena, we'd love to hear feedback regarding which aspects of these new features are difficult (or, not user friendly). As Brian says; we're always listening! Once you get a chance to try the new features, please feel free to share what you like least/most, and we'll be sure to listen up! Thank you!
Woooo very exciting update!!
These are great times to be part of this amazing revolution!!!
Hi Dez, you always have such an awesomely contagious attitude! We're glad to have you on the empowr team. We're excited to see the "revolution" too!!! :)
I feel more and more confidence in the company, I found the best for my family
Thank you very much, Team
Thank you, Johnny, Thank you, Brian
Hi Yuriy, wow, you have no idea how encouraging that is to hear (I speak for the team, I'm sure of it). While we certainly recognize that empowr is not perfect (yet! ;) ) we're doing everything in our power to push empowr forward, so that the community's committment and hardwork pays off - and empowr is ultimately successful. Thanks Yuriy, looking forward to watching the community try out the new features! All the best!
Thank you Mila, we will succeed :)
No one has heard about the company NIKE, now they are the best, and they know the obvious slogan
Just do it :)
Thanks for the update. We will study, test, comprehend the essence of the proposed.
Hi Aemie, we're looking forward to receiving the community's feedback regarding the new features. That way we can continue to improve, and ensure that the new features are as easy and user-friendly as possible. Thank you!
You are Mila in your answers and explanations as always gorgeous. Thank you!
I really like the publication. Thank you.
Thank you!!! Very good news! Every day becomes better and better to work on our website!
Hi Алексей, it's extremely encouraging to hear that you feel every day, empowr is constantly improving. We hope that you have an awesome experience trying out the new features. We're looking forward to hearing the community's feedback! Thanks so much.
I am sure that this feature will simply be a revolution and now you nobody can stop empowr grow at a faster pace. Best of luck!!!
With regards
Vikash Chokhani
Hi Vikash, we also hope that all of the new features that empowr has released (and is still working on) will indeed push empowr to the next level. Although, regardless of how great these (or any) features are, it's truly the community that will determine empowr's success. We hope that the community feels that the team is doing its best to constantly improve the platform. We hope that these features will make it easier and easier for citizens to contribute and therefore earn. Best of luck, Vikash! :)
Very good news for the entire platform, can't wait to use these new features.
Thanks, Brian.
David, we're looking forward to hear the community's thoughts and ideas regarding the new features. Can't wait!! Thanks David :)
Thank Brian for very very exiting update. let us enjoy about new feature.
Hi Murad, we hope that you indeed enjoy the new features!! Thank you :)
Cool.. I think, the problem of this feature is only about "not user friendly yet".. I feel, It will be a common thing in the future.
Hi Indra, I definitely want to be sure that I'm understanding you clearly. Are you able to clarify your question or concern? I'd be happy to help! Thanks Indra!
Thanks For the exciting news.
But I notice that Listing service are not getting counted towards daily goals as I have been listing services for 3 days.
http://prntscr.com/f0pn6t
Above screenshot is just listed.
Now to complete my daily goals.. Again I need to list any product..
Hi Prashant, in JC's blog post announcing Services he states the following:
For now, your confirmed ("Service Received") service sales will count towards the listing portion of your daily goals, exactly the same as your product sales do.
For every three $5 (or larger) product or service sales that are marked “item/service received”, you’ll be credited with hitting your daily listing goal.
Note: In order for your service sales to count, you’ll need to confirm your sales with your buyer at the same time, and the same place.
Please let me know if you still have any questions regarding services or your Daily Goal.
Thanks Prashant, and all the best! :)
I understood that Service listing will only be counted towards daily goal if delivered..
Meanwhile I notice that product received by buyers are not reflecting (marked as item received) in feedback panel.But counted over'Stock option'circle in profile page..
Thanks for kind reply.
Fantastic work everyone, that includes everyone from the front to the back end to the SC's \ (•◡•) /
Love the transformation that's taking place to engage... to inspire people within this society to actually reach out to support one one another in a way that not only benefits them but the society as a whole, including this planet \ (•◡•) / through sharing resources at all levels \ (•◡•) /
Love the idea of being able to choose our own goals so that we can focus on what inspires us in that moment that suits our environment at that time \ (•◡•) /
* One question; with sharing and transporting will there be an option or a way to set up multiple areas to be a transporter for like Uber does, as I do a lot of traveling in my efforts to help different charities for free, so I'm in cities around the world?
With Uber, the driver just logs into the system when they are ready to drive and the system automatically detects where they are and then coordinates all pick-ups and deliveries for that area for the driver.
Hi Trever, I love how you phrased the "transformation that's taking place." It's encouraging to see that citizens are feel that the current changes will have a powerful and positive impace on the platform. We're doing our best to really provide "options" for citizens - giving you choices in how it is that you earn, contribute, and even hit your goals (more to come on this in the near future!) Like most societies with an economy, citizens can choose how to be productive members of the society. We believe with these features, we're on our way to providing such choices. Great question regarding transporting; it's questions like these that will help us to continuously improve upon our features and make them user-friendly as possible. As we continue to get feedback, thoughts, ideas, and concerns from citizens like yourself, we'll be able to keep evolving our features. We will be sure to provide more information about transporting once it's fully live (provide more specifics), but I'll be sure that this question is answered. Great idea! Thanks Trever!
Good luck for the Sharer and Transporter and for the future.
Thank you Katherine! Best of luck!
I dont think that this is such a good 'Idea'.
We have to invest a very large sum of money to cover all the states on the planet earth.
We have to be recognized as is DHL Transport Service in all around the world.
But, everything is possible, maybe for 25 years.
Hi M.Arsova, I'm sorry to hear that you're having doubts about the new features. I'm not completely sure I fully understand, but I'll do my best to assist :) We're dedicated to providing all citizens with options on how they choose to contribute and earn. This is why we're introducing many different roles - sellers, sharers, service providers, transporters, teachers etc. You'll be able to earn in a variety of different ways. You mention investing a large sum of money to cover various costs. This is the exact reason why sharing was created - you can earn by literally paying ZERO out of pocket costs. All you have to do is list something to share with someone (I bet that you own something that you wouldn't mind parting with for a few days), then sit back and watch the earnings pour in. I hope I've fully understand your concerns and have been able to alleviate some of them. Thanks M.Arsova, and we hope that you'll give the new features a try and then provide us with your thoughts and feedback. Thank you! All the best.
Thank you Brian for this new exciting feature!
Glade to see it taking place and the future will hold progress of always moving forward :)
you did not mention anything about transporting sold items is transporting sold items available
Hi Sean, we will definitely provide more details about transporting once the feature is fully live. This is something that will indeed be possible. Stay tuned on more information! Thanks Sean!
I think there is an issue regarding rating the purchases nowadays.
Hi Owais, can you provide a little bit more information about what you mean exactly? I'd be happy to help! :) Thanks Owais, and looking forward to hearing back.
I think what Owais is trying to say is that the number under seller information which I think comprises the purchased and sold items of a seller.Its not moving since the rating box has been updated.An image below so you can fully understand what I'm trrying to say.
http://prntscr.com/f1byiq
And providing feedbacks still not working.

Hello
Thank you very good your work and caring for your citizens! I really liked this idea of sharing
But maybe I will repeat because the inhabitants of Ukraine are coming more and more difficult to remain with the payment system, and it would just be fine to solve this difficulty, I hope that soon everything will be better
And we, the citizens of Ukraine, with great gratitude for your work, hope for your understanding!
Thank you, we love you!
Hi Mikhail, we're glad to hear that you're excited about sharing! So are we!! :)
The team is very aware of its growing and diverse group of citizens. As JC mentioned in a previous blog (http://posts.empowr.com/r9qs8) we'll be working on a feature that will allow ANYONE with an awesome idea (an app or a website) to plug right into the empowr platform. This might be the perfect way to address this issue.
Keep in mind empowr's primary goal is to protect the earnings of its citizens. We will certainly announce should anything change regarding payment systems. Thanks, Mikhail!
Exciting update. Thank you, Mr President.
Interesting, Thank you for sharing
Thank You so much Brian for sharing this with us today.
Now, I fully understand the sharing and I think it will help a lot more people.
We all have a lot to share as compared to what to sell.
This is the future we were talking about. You can access whatever you need at any time.
Thanks to the e!power team.
Hi Ernest, awesome - so glad to hear that this post helped to clarify exactly how sharing works. It's also great to see that you're really getting the big picture of the features, as well. Best of luck, and we hope you enjoy the features! Thanks Ernest :)
Wonderful are the choices empowr make, the marketplace will explode with the various features it has.
I wish more progress to our community, and (to make the world a better place) :))
Hi Ayman, we're certainly pushing for a "marketplace explosion"! As I said in another comment above - regardless of how innovative the features are, empowr's success ultimately depends on its citizens. If the citizens believe in the features and put their mind to making sure it succeeds, empowr is bound to win. Why do we have so much faith in the power of the community? Well, the community has shown time and again that it will do whatever it takes, and that it always comes out on top. All the best, Ayman!! Thank you!
how will broken/damaged items be handled? ...accidents do happen, and parts do fail, capitalism relies on this.
Hey Chris, as always, you're thinking and asking the important questions. Did you have a chance to read through the "Unreturned Item" section that Brian discussed? Really the key there is to 1. always treat others items as you wish yours would be treated but 2. in the case that you don't (accidents happen and things go wrong), the user will be held accountable. Brian mentions that your ideal option would be to replace the item (just like you would do for a friend if you borrowed something abd broke it). He also mentions that this is why the security deposit is important, and will be given to the sharer in the case that the item is "unreturned". Ultimately, those who have a habit of unreturned items will be locked out of the marketplace. Lastly, Brian also points out that the team is working to integrate the new sharing features into the new dispute system. Naturally, this will be a key ingredient to the sharing system. I hope I answered your question! Thanks Chris, pleasure as always!
Good news, Thank you very much for this announcement,
Is the transporting feature for now works only for sharing items, or we can take advantage of it to use it for delivering purchased items to local customers? If yes, do we get same benefits, regarding rating and qualification?
However, since April 20, the submitted feedback to the buyers and sellers are not shown in their products pages?
great question
Hi Imad, great question (I agree with Chris). The transporting is still in it's "V1" stage, and at this point, can only be used for sharing. But don't worry - it will be available soon enough for other things as well. We will provide exact details of how it works once the feature is fully live, so stay tuned! For now, we recommend that citizens start by trying out the feature when sharing, and building up their transporter ratings. Remember, you'll want to have 10 transports under your belt, with a 4.0 rating or higher. So now is the time to start, that way you're ready as soon as transporting is fully available. Thanks Imad!!
Wonderful update, thank you Brian
Estoy muy emocionada con estas nuevas caracteristicas de Empowr. Entiendo que estamos aun en construccion, pero con la firme decision de ser mejores cada dia... Gracias por el esfuerzo que demuestran por hacerlo bien y sobre todo que TODOS tengamos beneficios. Excelente post!! Seguimos adelante!! Bendiciones para el equipo. :)
Hi Zulay, I love the way that you put that: "we are under contruction"
This is so true: empowr is still undergoing changes (and at a rapid pace).
We appreciate your positive attitude, and we are excited to watch the community use all of the new features. Thank you!
The plan sounds great . Let's see it in action. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Brian for the updates. I love it.
It's good to open up new opportunities. But do not forget about old problems. Many of the empore members live in poor countries of Belarus, Ukraine, etc. We can spend less than $ 5 per day. The Internet and empor are giving us the opportunity to earn. And for me and my friends to work on empore, give us the option of another payment system. I have already mentioned. That the crypto currency gives us such an opportunity and makes us more and more popular all over the world. So give us the opportunity to work in empower. Or we will have frustration and go to another site to earn that much. Hear me and my friends. Thank you
Hi Alex, thank you for sharing your concerns with us. We're certainly listening; this is a concern that's been brought to our attention previously. As I said in a previous comment above, the team is very aware of its growing and diverse group of citizens. As JC mentioned in a previous blog (http://posts.empowr.com/r9qs8) we'll be working on a feature that will allow ANYONE with an awesome idea (an app or a website) to plug right into the empowr platform. This might be the perfect way to address this issue.
Keep in mind empowr's primary goal is to protect the earnings of its citizens. We will certainly announce should anything change regarding payment systems. Thank you, Alex! All the best.
That's clear enough. Thank you very much
Hello team empor!
Wonderful opportunities for all citizens.
I have a question:
For example I want to share a product and I do not need transport
Since it is within 15-30 km
I could deliver the goods myself.
Can I be a conveyor in this case?
I read the entire blog, but maybe I'm something
I did not understand correctly.
Thank you.
Hi Olga, good question! Yes, you may transport your own products. In fact, you'll be rated as a transporter in transaction as well (more details about ratings to come shortly!). As Brian says:
"As discussed, when picking up or dropping off an item that you're using, you'll have the opportunity to be rated as a transporter.
That means, by transporting the first few items you've decided to use, you should focus on doing an awesome job so that you receive a 5-star rating every single time. The more 5-star ratings you receive as a transporter, the more transporter earnings you can earn later."
We will definitely provide more detailed information regarding transporting once it is fully live, but for your now, your totally able to transport the items that you're using, and you'll be able to receive transporter ratings! That way, you can become a transporter once the features is fully live.
Thanks Olga! All the best.
Excellent!
I like the way Empowr is progressing. Unfortunately for me I don't have a cell phone due to financial reasons. In time I hope to rectify that. Onward and Upward
Hi Lilian, I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefull you'll be purchasing one in the empowr marketplace in no time! Thanks LiLian and best of luck!
Thank you very much I liked everything
Might be to complicated for many empower citizens cause they can't even answer Messages about products there selling or even yet deliver it with out having to dispute it.
Until i manage to work out what citizenswill want to buyor use now that we only bid on or buy things that we really want or need; this is all in the future. Since bidding disappeared as a goal -none of my listings have had any bids, and I have seen the same on many other profiles. I am glad that bidding is no longer required but cannot help wondering how long it will take for us all to adjust.
We all (us citizens) need a new approach - to seek the things we wish to buy through Empowr and not from shops and other web-sites. We need to be able to place 'wanted ads', both for items to buy and use. Is this a feature due to come soon?
Once we can see what is wanted, we might realise that we have items to offer.
Hi Evelyn, thank you for sharing your thoughts. Yes, the bidding goal was removed to reduce the number of citizens bidding on items for the mere purprose of hitting their goals (and not because they actually wanted to bid on or purchase the products). This should also reduce the number of disputes caused by this activity. The idea your presenting sounds extremely interesting - you're suggesting a page where citizens can post ads seeking say, a service ("I'm going out of town and I need a pet sitter" or "I'm seeking to borrow a drill"). Is this correct? Any other details you can provide would be awesome! Thanks Evelyn :)
I love the way empowr is progressing and I find the services part exciting. Evelyn's suggestion of a help wanted page is exactly what we need. Presently I need a plumber and also a yard man to take care of excess leaves. I have been asking on my page if there was anyone who could provide those services in my area. I have used 2 published services already and I was quite satisfied.
Exactly. If wanted ad is to be allowed, it must be categorised so as not to overload. Similarly the for sale and for use pages need categorising. Currently looking for something is very difficult. Listings are categorised, but it is not obvious that we can search that way. Make wanted ads match the categories and maybe increase the range and add a location option. We used to be able to search for items shipping to our country, but that has disappeared.
