UserNiche^TM is online service that enables our customers to create a web presence with valuable information for a group of member users. This is done by simplifying the web site creation process so our customers can easily modify their site content. Our customers can thereby create a UserNiche^TM where current valuable niche information is distributed to a group of users interested in that information.

The size of the group can be large or small. Customers can create a single page, or an unlimited number of web pages in a series of information related web sites. They in turn contribute to the depth of information so that all users of that information are benefited.

UserNiche^TM FAQ

UserNiche^TM enables its customers to add and update their own content at any time and focus on creating an "information niche" for a group of users.

UserNiche^TM allows its customers to:

• Completely customize their web site
• Update the website as often as desired
• Link to a datasource for "Real Time" information
• Create¹ groups of users with rights to:
  • Add new web sites
  • Add or Edit their own pages
  • Modify information and link to a datasource

UserNiche^TM provides an almost unlimited number of layout possibilites and "themes". The average user that knows how to select choices and submit a browser form can use the UserNiche^TM control panel to add and update content at any time, and as often as desired.

Soccer Clubs, Vendors of Products, Law Offices, People who like dogs, you name it. Each group is the market that most companies already target in their promotions.

So for example, if you were a soccer team, or a soccer club, or a soccer association you have a UserNiche^TM of 15 members, 500 members or 5000 members respectively. If you were the "association", you would buy 5000 member licenses and be able to create as many soccer club web sites and team web sites as you like up to the 5000 member limit, with each sub niche having rights to create and modify their web content and their user information. You can pass your $2 per member license cost directly onto the members themselves, register online, notify ALL members by email, post game schedules and results, sell Logo items, etc., etc.

The same applies whether you sell a product where you have prospects, you are a Law firm with clients, or a group of dog enthusists. They are all looking for information and people will pay for it if the niche information is valuable to them.

Information can be organized into many different virtual objects. In the Law Office example³, each "client" could have his or her own "website", requiring a username/password to access, where documents are uploaded, summary reports are displayed as web pages, if multiple cases, there could be "Documents" of multiple Web Pages where each document represents a case. Areas of Practice, for example could be dynamically changed at any time. With this, all navigation is automatically created for you. Attorney Profiles could be updated at any time and pictures can be uploaded from your hard drive and automatically resized to fit the correct dimentions for the picture of the attorney on their profile page. There are things you can do that you might not even consdier possible right now. Things like:

• Sending an email invoice to all clients with current balances so they can pay online via VISA/MC or Echeck, even if you do not have a merchant's account.
• Automatically creating a list of future "Events" (based on the case "TYPE") that appear within the "Client's" website in a chronological tickler list that can be linked to "Documents" and updated with changes in status and work progress.
• Automatic "Notifications" appear in the respective "website" of the client when specified changes in a database occur, like an "Event" of the "TYPE" = "Court Appearance" that is less than 10 days from "NOW", causing a listing in the "Notifications" and based upon the settings in the "Clients" "Preferences", a email notice periodically sent until the "Notice" is marked "Done" or the date passes
• Automatic "Notifications" sent to a central "Attorney" website, showing all Statute of Limitations Dates less than 10 days from NOW.
• Sending electronic birthday cards to clients automatically
• Creation of an online newsletter and e-mailing it or a link to it, to all clients each month.
• Based upon a change in the database causing a notification to issue, and email to issue and using a 3rd party service, automatically "telephone" the client and say the content of a text string like "This is the computer messenger from Jones, Smith & Doe calling to leave an important message for Bill Green. Bill Green has received urgent notification from attorney Susan Lawyer. Please log on and review this notification or call the office at 777 555 5555. Thank You."

Keep in mind this is a custom website, so initially, we set up the web site for you³ and create the default settings.

We set up the various virtual objects and their relationship to each other. Thereafter, you can change any of the content, add, or delete content and modify any of the settings, including any of the virtual objects or their relationship to each other. In the event you make a mistake, you can always revert to your default settings, losing nothing.

In reality, most businesses or groups perform the same activities, tasks and functions, called different things, for different groups of people.

Conceptually, all of these are the same, and can be serviced by the same virtual objects with the convenience of industry specific names. Rather than each business or group, having features independantly developed for them, in effect each paying for the re-creation of the wheel, we organize the information by functions and methods, assign their relationships to each other and their "Name Labels" as commonly used in the industry.

Even if you want to add new services or features not presently available, we will do so for you. However, to the extent that we can determine that this new object or method is useful and valuable to other customers, you would not pay for the cost of development of the reused portion. So in effect you only ever pay the marginal cost of the variations for your project and the rental fee on the underlying applications. Not only does this system keep your initial capital outlay low, it is the most efficient long term way to finance the long term costs of ongoing technology changes for eveyone concerned.

UserNiche^TM has a business model based in reality, not on the fantasy of the New Economy. Our capitalization is in the programming model set up to implement the UserNiche^TM concept. Our income is the "rental" of the use of the "programming capital". In this manner thousands of customers in effect share the development cost, keeping prices very reasonable. We also continue to develop new features that all our customers can share³.

When was the last time you paid for something that you thought was NOT valuable? Information can become very valuable to the right customer if it is focused, current and in depth. Our business plan provides our customers a cost effective way to do this.

UserNiche^TM recognizes that it's success is tied to the success of its customers, who in turn are creating their own User Niche for a group of people with a special interest. At a cost per member of only $1 or $2 dollars per year, even non-profits can afford a UserNiche^TM web site!

Our users can create and modify virtually any property of their web sites using simple browser forms. No technical knowledge is needed. Any component that has been developed is offered to other customers for Free!

There is an investment opportunity for venture capital money only. Contact Sal Delello for information.
