NFC: Top of the list of 10 predictions for mobile in 2012

MEF, the global community for mobile content and commerce, has released its 10 predictions for 2012.

Top of the list is NFC. MEF predicts that there will be increased investment with some spectacular trials, but that it will still fail to have a significant commercial impact. The industry based on consumers paying for items on their mobiles is already worth $35bn a year, so people are willing to pay on mobile if the correct product and payment method are available.

1. NFC: 2012 will be the year that the industry ‘gets’ NFC and there will be increased investment with some spectacular trials, but it will fail to have a significant commercial impact.

2. Security: Regulators worldwide will be brought face-to-face with the security challenges of in-app billing, and new regulations will emerge.

3. Privacy: As Smartphones and mobile connected devices continue to become more widespread, increasingly complex and diverse attitudes towards privacy will cause chaos in the industry.

4. Nokia/Microsoft Alliance: The Smartphone landscape will evolve into a three horse race, accelerated by local focus in high growth markets.

5. HTML 5: Operators will face yet more capacity challenges arising from the surge in the use of HTML5 and the consequent stimulus to audio visual content.

6. SMS: Brands, content owners and retailers will retain SMS in their mobile toolkit to further engage consumers in content and commerce.

7. Games: 2012 will see mobile connected devices challenge consoles as the platform of choice for high-end gaming.

8. Mobile Payments: Carrier wallets and screen based payments will start to supersede PSMS in Atlantic markets.

9. Apps and multi-screen: The maturing mobile apps ecosystem will extend to infotainment in cars and the living room in 2012.

10. Geo-social: Location-based social commerce will replace social networking as the focus for mobile innovation by retailers and brands.

  • Who is responsible to build Groupon? Members who refer!
  • Who is responsible to build PayPal? Members who refer!
  • Who is responsible to build Google? Members who refer!
  • Who is responsible to build E-Bay? Members who refer!

Please show TCN even 1 Member who refered others to help the above companies who earned $10,000 for helping to build any of the above Billion Dollar Companies.

TCN is different than anything in the world. Focus on the positive attributes at TCN.

  • #1: FREE TCN state of the art website that moves at lighting speed.
  • #2: FREE TCN back office tracking system that will track every penny of compensation.
  • #3: Every single time a TCN sale is made it pays up to 41 compensation transactions.

  • NOTE #3: TCN HAS ONLY BEGUN TO LAY THE FOUNDATION!

Text Cash Network, #1 Fastest Growing FREE Opportunity on the planet.

[Text Cash Network News] TCN Day 79 with 288,503 agents around the world & Growing!

How does something so simple produce so much? 2012 is upon us! Set your Goals and Dream Big!

Text Cash Network (TCN)  is as simple as it gets.  How can a FREE Model create so much money? Who is paying? Where is the money coming from?

It all comes down to one word. ADVERTISING!!!

Even in the 30′s to the 60′s it was in the mega millions. From Radio, TV, Internet, Social Media to Cell Phones. The market just keeps getting bigger and bigger.  It has grown from millions to almost a trillion dollars.

TCN will capture a small %, just a few of the billions. TCN will funnel 2/3rds of the billions to it’s agents.

TCN’s one product is to GET THE WORD OUT. Get the word out to TCN Free Members/Agents.
We are building a super pipeline of consumers. Merchants will pay billions to access the pipeline.

  • TCN’s #1 Asset is our Agents/Members
  • TCN’s #1 Source of Revenue is Advertising TCN’s #1 Customers are Traditional Businesses.

TCN Future Expectations Timelines:

  • 01/20/2012: First VIP Payday with Power-Direct, Power-Grid Plus, Power-Grid Plus Match Compensation paid on 100% of all VIP Advertising Packages Sold as of 1/18/2012 at 6pm.
  • 01/20/2012:  i-Pay Out system available for compensation withdrawals worldwide. Their motto is “Any Currency… Any Where… Anytime…”
  • 01/20/2012:  Power-Matrix Grid to display in your back office. If you already upgraded you will have already be placed in the Power-Matrix.  With 280,000 agents in the system when they start to upgrade you should see spillover. It is like trying to fit a lake into a 55 gallon drum. Hopefully you get the visual. We believe as TCN begins to mature there will be a very high % of agents who will wish to UPGRADE.
  • 01/26/2012 This will be the last day for the referrer of anyone who has already upgraded to upgrade or they would not be qualified to receive a Power-Matrix Referral Bonus on the VIP Agent who already upgraded.

Text Cash Network: Real Time Orders to Start Tomorrow, January 18

TCN Free Agent Canada[Text Cash Network News] Starting tomorrow all orders will be in REAL TIME.

This means they will be TIME/DATE/STAMPED and will follow the hundreds of VIPs who have already upgraded.

We at TCN only have 1 source of revenue to share and that is by selling VIP Advertising Packages to:

#1. End User Merchants: to advertise their goods and services at a discount.

#2. TCN Agents: to be given to an end user merchant of TCN’s choice to advertise their goods and services at a discount.

Each time a VIP Advertising Package is sold.  TCN takes 2/3rds of the profits from such revenue and breaks it up into 12 slices of the TCN Income Pie. The secret is not to limit how much pie anyone can have but to get the pie big enough so that it will make a difference in so many agent’s lives.

The first priority always needs to be our members and merchants. By keeping them excited about doing business with Text Cash Network. By helping our members/agents save money and our merchant advertisers by getting their message of discounts and savings out to the public via our members and agents.

When TCN Agents have clarity and understand the 12 streams of income offered by Text Cash Network. It will be very clear that we will be the 2012 opportunity of the year.

The FREE Model offers 3 types of income which is 10,000% better than Groupon’s $10 offer
or what all the others are offering for new members. However the FREE Model alone will take the average Referral Agent 3 to 6 months to build up serious compensation.

At the same time by allowing all Referral Agents to share in 3 streams of income by:

#1. Signing up for FREE and agreeing to receive 5 texts/e-mails daily.

#2. Getting The Word out using the Text Cash Network Ad Platform.

and 12 streams of income by:

#1. Signing up for FREE and agreeing to receive 5 texts/e-mails daily.

#2. Getting The Word out using the Text Cash Network Ad Platform.

#3. Become a VIP Referral Agent by Purchasing a “GIVE AWAY” VIP Advertising Package for TCN to offer as a FREE Introduction to TCN VIP Advertising to a merchant of TCN’s choice.

TCN Goal and Simple Message: 2012 + TCN + YOU = SUCCESS

Mobile SMS Business Text Cash Network

[TCN News January 1, 2012] Let’s keep this message simple in 2012.

We will build something that will be paying agents into the next generation. Stay focused and help TCN build one of the giants in the advertising industry.

TCN 2012 Goals:

#1 Over Twenty Million Members
#2 Over One Million Referral Agents
#3 Over One Hundred Thousand VIP Referral Agents
#4 Over Twenty Thousand Merchant Advertising Agreements

Accomplishing the above would give Text Cash Network a Market Value of over ONE to TWO BILLION DOLLARS.

Why would anyone want to spend $200 to $2,000 buying tangible products to resell or store up in your home/garage. When you can participate in A TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY BILLION DOLLAR Market without buying 1 Box Of Soap, 1 Skin Care Product, 1 Water Filter Product, 1 Coffee Product or 1 of any kind of tangible products. Especially where they ask you to purchase the products to give away as samples.

WHOLE FOODS thanks every network marketing affiliate in the USA for convincing the public to buy wholesome nutritional and organic products just so they can sell it for a lot less. In fact Text Cash Network will help them communicate such lower prices to the market place.

EXAMPLE: Monavie Sells a 25 fl. oz bottle of Acai for $40 + S&H.  TCN Merchants plan to offer 32 fl. oz bottle for $9

On January 16th we will be listing many of our merchants already wanting to make available to all our TCN Members/Agents the best products and services at unheard of discount prices.

2012 + TCN + YOU = SUCCESS

TCN Reach Incredible Benchmark of 200 000 Referral Agents & Extend the 1st Commissions Period

[TCN News] Congratulations From TCN Team Revolution

Total Referral Agents To Date: 200,628
Total Referral Agents Last 7 Days: 23,444
Total Referral Agents Today: 2,447

Good evening TCN Referral Agents and congratulations to all our VIP Referral Agents. We have been watching this board and we must say many of you are doing a great job with what you already know. There is a wealth of information on the current website and the e-mail communications. For a company that is not officially open to do business until 01/16/2012 we have a great jump start reaching an incredible benchmark of 200 000 Referral Agents to date.

We already plan to extend the 1st Commissions period until 12/29/2011 because of thousands who wanted to upgrade using a system outside of a credit card. It just would not be fair to them to run the current commissions without them involved. We plan on offering many other means of ordering your VIP Package including Western Union Quick Pay.

It is very important especially in my department as Director of Communications, that you truly understand what you have in your hands. Remember to read the FAQ’s on the TCN website. The new $5000 Power-Bonus Matrix with 100% Power-Bonus Match will give many more Referral Agents a reason to VIP UPGRADE.

Amazon Kindle Fire adds a robust ability to store and stream music, TV shows and movies

[WSJ Technology] It’s often said that there isn’t really a tablet market, just an Apple iPad market with a bunch of other contenders fighting over the remnants. But, starting this week, that is likely to change, because Amazon is adding a multifunction color tablet to its popular Kindle line that costs less than half as much as an iPad 2.

This new $199 device is called the Kindle Fire, and after testing it for a week, I think it’s a good—though not a great—product and a very good value. It doesn’t just add color to the Kindle, it adds a robust ability to store and stream music, TV shows and movies—and a weaker ability to store and display color photos. And it offers about 8,500 apps at launch, including Netflix, Angry Birds and QuickOffice.

Spotify’s Wins Facebook Open Graph Music App

[TechCrunch] Facebook today released some stats trying to show the success of several of the Open Graph music applications launched at f8. Most of the stats were in percentages, though, which can give a rosy impression of what is actually fairly little growth.

For example, it cites that Rdio has seen a “30x increase in new user registrations from Facebook” . In reality, the app itself now has grown by just 200 users to reach a tiny 4,000 daily Facebook-logged in users.

Spotify – Daily active users are up 1.33 million to 2.4 million, and Spotify monthly active users are up 3.98 million to 7.4 million. Facebook listed Spotify as growing by 4 million new Facebook users. The app is becoming a habit for many, with 32% of monthly users engaging with it each day. Spotify’s overwhelming presence in the Ticker is drowning out the rest of the apps and making it seem like you’re on it with the cool kids, or you’re listening alone in the corner.

Earbits – Starting from zero, Earbits now has 1,000 DAU and 10,000 MAU. Considering the potential audience and how much Spotify has grown, these numbers are not impressive. Stickyness, or the DAU divided by MAU that indicates whether or not users are consistently coming back , is 10% which is at least better than most of the other music apps.

MOG – As of f8, MOG had 3,000 DAU and 32,000 MAU. It has clawed its way up 7,000 DAU to 10,000 and 137,000 MAU to 170,0000. Stickyness is the lowest of any the apps we sample, at 5.8%. MOG could have become a serious contender, but was slow to gets its Facebook integration humming immediately allowing Spotify to surge ahead. Facebook’s quote of it 246 percent growth is misleading.

Rdio – Strong out the gates, Rdio was the only app other than Spotify that I saw in my Ticker right after f8. It spiked from 3,848 DAU to 8,000 in the first two days after f8. However, it has since fallen all the way back to 4,000 DAU, an increase of less than 200 users, and only spiking as high as 6,000 DAU on weekends. MAU is up from 23,800 to 60,000, but just 6.6% of users return each day. This is a much more grim assessment than Facebook saying Rdio has had a “30x increase in new user registrations from Facebook”.

e-Commerce Report: Why Consumers Shop Online?

From Marcia Kaplanfrom Post on eCommerce Practical

[...] According to research from comScore, consumers are turning to the Internet to shop for the following reasons.

  • Price. They are comparison shopping and finding the best deals online.
  • Convenience. People want to be able to shop anytime.
  • Free shipping. More ecommerce vendors are offering free shipping, especially during holidays;
  • Late technology adopters are putting aside their concerns about security and are buying online;
  • Daily specials. New online shopping models such as daily deals and flash sales are generating excitement and impulse purchases;
  • Mobile benefits. The capability to comparison shop, research products, and purchase from smartphones and tablets gives ecommerce vendors another advantage over brick-and-mortar sellers. Even in bad economic times, people will still shop when they are bored.

An increasing number of people are saving money by shopping only when sellers provide discounts or coupons and — according to comScore — over 35 % of shoppers regularly look for deals online. High income consumers – those earning over $100,000 a year – are more likely to comparison shop online, often with smartphones while in retail stores, and abandon an in-store buy for an Internet purchase.  [...]

[New Research] Mobile App Downloads To Reach 98 Billion By 2015

[TechCrunch News Technology] According to new research from Berg Insight, the number of mobile application downloads will reach 98 billion by 2015. The number will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 56.6% between 2010 and 2015, the analyst firm reports.

App store revenue will also grow, to reach € 8.8 billion in 2015, or $11.8 billion in U.S. dollars.

Last year, revenues from paid apps, in-app purchases and subscription services reached € 1.6 billion, or $2.15 billion U.S.

This direct app store revenue will grow 40.7% from 2010 to 2015 before reaching $11.8 billion U.S.

Not surprisingly, Apple’s iOS was found to be the leader in direct monetization of mobile applications, and Berg predicts that will continue to be the case through 2015.

It also predicts that Android will be #2 and Windows Phone will be #3 in terms of direct monetization.
