The Ultimate Holiday Gift for the Person Who Has Everything -- Las Vegas, Cancun and New York City Are All for Sale
Montreal (Vocus) December 14, 2006 -- The PS3, Ipod and Wii are so predictable. This year's most original holiday gifts are at Weblo.com, a virtual copy of real world properties, cities, states and Internet domains. Give virtual duplicates of hometowns and famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, or claim free Celebrity Fan Sites for a friend who loves Hollywood.
Weblo.com members earn real U.S. dollars from transaction fees and advertising revenue generated by traffic to their cities, states and asset web pages. Properties can also be re-sold for profit just like in the real world: The virtual mayor of Washington, D.C. sold his city for a 300 per cent profit. The virtual mayor of Vancouver recently sold his city for $503 and made a $385 profit.
Small towns are inexpensive, selling for as little as five dollars. Gift givers can also buy famous properties for one dollar. The first owner of the Empire State Building paid one dollar and re-sold it for $250.
"Giving someone a virtual replica of their hometown or a famous property is a truly unique gift that goes far beyond being a novelty item. It can generate real-world profits for the owner," says Rocky Mirza, CEO and co-founder of Weblo.com. "Since our launch thousands of members have purchased their favorite cities, states and properties around the world."
Members attract traffic to their Weblo.com websites with compelling content including photo galleries, forums, polls and videos. Members profit from advertising revenue generated from their sites. In addition, owners of cities, states and airports earn a percentage of all transactions within their territories.
Membership Levels
Five levels of membership define user roles, determine discounts on purchases and influence the amount of money one can earn. Basic memberships are free and include a free Weblo Celebrity Fan Site. These Fan Sites can be filled with interesting content about your favorite celebrity, your best friend or even your dog. Bronze, Silver, Gold and VIP levels range in cost from $4.95 to $29.95 per month. Basic Members earn 10 per cent of revenues generated by clicks on Weblo.com supplied ads on their pages. The range increases 10 per cent per membership level. VIP members earn 50 per cent of revenues.
Influential Investors
Weblo.com is backed by Internet and social networking visionaries including Richard Rosenblatt the co-founder, chairman and CEO of Demand Media and the former Chairman of MySpace.com and CEO of parent company Intermix; Fred Harman, the managing partner of Oak Investment; Matt Hill, the chairman and founder of eForce Media; and William Woodward, the managing director and founder of Anthem Venture Partners.
