The tasks may be taking class attendance, sharing homework answers, submitting homework, etc.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to get user on board (initial traction):<br \/>\n<\/strong>The poor debtors will be the initial trial users. If the creditor\u00a0agree to resolve a small debt via IOU One. An\u00a0agreement is set up. If the rich friend wants to get back a favor in certain way, she should install the mobile app. Following that will be the mechanism to get users to pay back instead of ignoring the debt.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Incentive to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">debtor<\/span>: save money instead of returning cash<\/li>\n<li>Incentive to <u>creditor<\/u>: get back an IOU rather than nothing.

He should be listed\u00a0on a leader board (loser board?) under a period of time before expired. The purpose is to get him back to the system rather than expelling him.<\/li>\n<li>Award loop: good debtors should have a good credit records. They are eligible to join paid \/ sponsored tasks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A simple level system can indicate good and bad debtors, say number of tasks finish, failed and expired.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Possible Monetization Model<br \/>\n<\/strong>Few ways are possible.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Advertising will be a feasible way. It can offer\u00a0a good advertising channel\u00a0for credit card companies, personal investment firms, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Paid \/ Sponsored Tasks. Companies can offer paid tasks for short term jobs, or even small tasks like filling survey, watching ad video, taking product samples, social media seeding, etc. Transaction fee can be charged.<\/li>\n<li>Social Lending. We got your credit evaluated by your friends. Why not try\u00a0social lending or crowdfunding among your personal network?<\/li>\n<li>background checking tool of a person. With our data on hand, we can build a modeling technology to analyze users&#8217; data, generating\u00a0the credit score of a person.
