LearnCDo, Inc.

Description

There is a void in the do-it-yourself how-to market. Available information to enable self directed project solutions is either overwhelming, costly, incomplete, or inaccurate. Conduct a how-to search online and be bombarded with unknown sources that require a private investigator to vet. Look at videos that give you inaccurate and partial information. Contact available how-to resources that use legacy technology to give you choppy solutions. Everywhere you look provides part of the picture, like looking out the window with the shade half drawn. Open the shade with LearnCDo!

LearnCDo does not aim to compete with companies like UpWork or Fiverr who connect Users with Freelancers to contract for complete project solutions. We connect Users with Experts, real time, seamlessly, to enable Users or Project Seekers to complete the project themselves. Giving the User the confidence and reassurance that they completed the project successfully and individually, saving time and money! Empowering the do-it-yourself individual.

And Experts or Knowledge Providers are able to work anywhere, anytime, with their smart phone and earn viable part-time income. Experts log-on to our native mobile app when they have small chunks of time, such as 15 minutes. No car, tools, or lap top needed.

Problem to be Solved

Over 5 Billion Searches per day
Advice seekers rely heavily on search
People often feel rushed and stressed
Reality is that a lot of online advice is part of a content strategy or affiliate program
Dedicated “advice” market is relatively small with a few key players
Space is ripe for disruption and exponential improvement along with monetization

 A survey asked US consumers what types of questions they ask via voice search. Responses include fact-based questions, maps/directions, movies/music/entertainment, restaurant info, news, product research and purchases, recipes, travel info, sports, etc. Our MVP falls under fact-based questions, the most asked type of question at 61.5%. eMarketer 

Also, available technologies do not provide viable, gig oriented part time income. Either they focus on Influencers rather than Experts or pay minimal compensation. 

YouTube instituted a policy that channels would need 10,000 lifetime views before they could make money on ads embedded in the videos. Video creators now need 1,000 subscribers and at least 4,000 hours of watch time over a 12-month period. Even YouTube channels with 1,000 subscribers are being kicked out of the program because of the 4,000-hour requirement.  And how much does YouTube pay per view? If you publish two videos a week and get an average of 500 views on each, an extremely ambitious goal, you’d still make less than $20 a month.

JustAnswer pays their Experts poorly or inadequately .… Experts will make 20% of the cost of the answer. Then with time they can work their way up to 50%. It appears most questions pay between $2 and $5, but this largely depends on the field of expertise and the question itself. In contrast, an Expert makes $4 in 5 minutes with LearnCDo.

We make partners out of our Experts and not just freelancers or gig workers.
