Our idea is to create the ultimate blogging/website platform specializing in financial field. Where people can present themselves or their company, share their analysis, stock picks, experience, recommend books, schools and webinars.
One of the key ideas is that they will be able to sell their products right from their blog or website. Readers will be able to contact the author, ask questions and leave feedback. Teachers and Educational institutions will be able to organize webinars using our platform. Newsletters and digital social media companies can have their subscribers right in our website.
Another key idea is that people can search and find newsletters or media companies by their interests, see their ratings by other subscribers, or ask other subscribers for their feedback. Lets say I am interested in short term ideas about the energy sector. I can find people or media companies who specialize in that sector, talk to subscribers and subscribe for the one that meets my needs or interests. Right from my profile I will be able to do research with the ggfinances platform, save my research in my profile, share with my friends, find out their opinion, put stock price alerts and much more.
This is the idea of ggfinances.com: to help people to make better decisions.
Our eCommerce tools
This is how our eCommerce tools will work. When you decide to make money with your blog you will fill out the financial section of your registration. When you sell your product(s) (book, software, hardware, services), we will process the payment securely to your account. When you are just a user and want to buy something, you will have to register and pay by using major online payment methods. We will also give an option to transfer some money in your ggfinances account and to make quick payments or set up an automatic payment, (if you subscribe to follow someone's real time trades or a newsletter).
Our Backers will receive their credit to their ggfinances account and make payments. Bloggers will be able to pay their service fees by using these credits. So this system will be similar to paypal or amazon. It will not be as good as their's in the beginning, but we will do everything to keep you guys happy.
How this will work
It will have very simple design, you can completely customize it and it is Open Source. ggfinances allows you to write and publish your own blog, giving you the tools to make it easy and more professional. It's simple, elegant, and designed so that you can spend less time messing with making your blog work and more time for blogging or research. When you are creating your blog it will be as simple as this:
As we said It will be open source so you can work with HTML code in this mode.
What makes us unique?
There are a lot of blogging platforms out there. For example wordpress.com, blogger.com, tumblr.com and more, but only ggfinances.com is specialized in financial filed and it is extremely simple. It will bring professional investors and educators together with newbies.
Our traffic exchange system. Let's say Bob has just opened a new blog. He is a financial analyst with 30 years experience. Bob is not a tech guy, he does not know how to do SEO, market his blog or find online audience. With ggfinances his articles will appear in our main page, on our article stream shown below.
Bob wrote an article about particular stock (let's say Facebook). It will show up here:
So what is happening?
All the traffic that ggfinances.com is getting is shared between the ggblogs. Our blogs are sending some of their traffic to us which is also shared between other blogs inside our network.
This way Bob is getting his share and he has more time for his research and analysis.
Bob is happy
All Articles are Ready for Sharing
All ggfinances articles come ready to connect to your social media services right out of the box.
No endless plugins required to do stuff that everyone with a blog wants to do. Connect your blog to publish to your Twitter, g+, LinkedIn and Facebook accounts.
What is there for regular users?
We are going to develop customizable interface for our users, so they can create watchlist of the stocks they follow, price alerts, if they are following any particular blog, then email notification about new article, order center where they can keep track of their purchases, take a snapshot of their analysis and save in their profile. This is just the beginning. We will expand this list with many more features.
Chart platform
All our registered users and bloggers can use this chart platform, create watchlists, take snapshots and more.
Who will use our website?
Individual bloggers are our main target. Whoever wants to write about finance, investing, business, technology and other similar topics. This is primarily for people or companies that do not want to spend a lot of time creating a website, managing, promoting and so on.
We will provide educational videos and articles on how to create a website using our platform. In the future we will have a technical team available to help you to create the blog you want and explain how to get the best out of our resources.
Bigger companies and bloggers will use our website in parallel to their original blogs or websites in order to get more traffic from our referral features.
STRETCH GOAL! - $50,000
If we get this amount, we will develop iPhone and Android applications for our website. As we all know, everything goes mobile these days.

Risks and challenges
The main risk we will face is bringing our platform to the first 100 blogger/users. The next challenge is the correct monetization of the product, it's a crucial thing in such a projects. Overall, we are ready to cope with any issues; we are not novices in the business, we have an up and running software development company. We are eager to have our own market changing web resource.
Thank you guys for all your support.
