IdeaPals – Innovation for your Business
We have brought people together from all over the world to work together on projects that they care about! There is nothing more exciting, inspiring or rewarding than working with people who are passionate about what they are working on!
When people love what they do: when they are passionate about what they do for a living, innovation happens. We have all heard the stories: The illiterate guy from Oklahoma who started International Harvester Company by mounting a drilling rig on the back of a truck for the first time; Walt Disney, who would call his friends together to run a new idea past them; if they understood it he figured it was not big enough; in 1988, a married couple who were super passionate about ice cream decided that they wanted to create something new, exciting, and delicious and share it with the world! It became Cold Stone Creamery and was wildly successful. Just when we all thought that everything had been done…
We have done this over 1,000 times in the last ten years, and we are just getting started!
Why should I use IdeaPals?
ideapals.org is officially launched in Beta today, February 1 2010, to help you to find motivated, passionate, and inspired people from all over the world to work on your project! We are going to organize this disrupted, fragmented marketplace with a community collaboration platform just like the one we use to create collaborative films on a tiny budget using workers and professionals from all over the world working together! The difference between inspired and uninspired work is HUGE! We will not stand in the middle, like a dating site and slow down the flow if ideas and commerce, we will facilitate it instead! We have created the platform online for the world-wide collaboration that is now possible. Project management, robust file sharing, community features, meetings facilitation and RSVP calender CRM, job posting and listing are all free at ideapals.org, and with no middleman screwing up the flow
Our staff includes talented, passionate professionals from all over the world who have worked on and in every size and scope of business. Join us and join in the work of building the marketplace of tomorrow!
We bring together interdisciplinary skills including web design and development, video production, and website design and marketing!
Our dedicated and talented staff can work with you to create your branding, message, custom website, viral videos, help you build a team: We can use cutting-edge open- source content management systems to build you a custom upgradeable, scalable community site and leverage existing social networks and Internet technology to create the opt-in relationship building and information gathering solutions that you need to manage and to grow.
What if I already have a website?
When people who are passionate about your business or cause visit your website, you can invite them to share their thoughts and ideas, and get them to produce real user-generated, and user-filtered content, increasing lead-capture, and provide an every-growing resource for your website visitors, employees, potential clients…and instant feedback.
How is IdeaPals.org different from an Ad Agency?
IdeaPals.org brings together technology, media, and innovation services to your company using Web 2.0 and open-source technologies to cause a meeting place without the usual encumbrances created by people who are only interested in profit. There is a built-in conflict of interests for traditional agencies and match-making services like e-Lance: they get paid based on what you spend: what incentive so they have to provide viral marketing techniques and services designed to produce more and more on a smaller and smaller budget?! None at all! But that is exactly what a successful Internet Marketing effort can achieve: an online asset which generates more than it costs! That is why we are here. Sometimes the most talented (and the most cost effective) workers are not born with a proverbial ’silver spoon’ in their mouths; sometimes they are in another country; sometimes they are happy just to get into the game!
