We are deeply and irreversibly conditioned to pay every month to be "hooked" up.

We're hooked up to cable TV, the Internet, servers hosting our web site, home and cellular phones, and other services like water, gas and electric that we pay without much notice. We pay through the nose to the tune of hundreds of dollars every month to have these services, to maintain our comfort and standard of living. We are really hooked up.

Where I live in New Jersey, YOU CAN'T WATCH FREE TV anymore!

You must pay the cable company $15/month even if you just want channels 2 through 13. All TVs are "cable" ready. Talk about a monopoly? If they want to raise the fee $1, nobody can stop them.

One dollar a month times 500,000 cable subscribers brings in a cool $6 million more each year. Single dollar bills add up.

You can see how these monthly subscriptions have built the companies that provide these services into billion dollar mega-corporations. Some of them are worth more than entire countries. The handwriting is on the wall.

One of the next "hook-ups" we'll make will be for a "21st century Learning Card™.

It will be one of the most important hookups of all. Today, less than 10% of Americans have library cards. By the year 2010, I think this will double or triple. Why?

Because TIME is now THE most precious resource in the world.

It will be worth every penny of your $10 to $50 each month to have access to the information and resources you need to SAVE TIME, just a mouse click away.

WHAT IS YOUR TIME WORTH?

If your time is worth $30/hour, and you can save one hour every month, you get a three times return on your $10 investment in the learning card. If you earn $50/hour, you get a five times return. Are you worth $100/hour? Then YOU get 10 times, or a 1000% return on your investment. THIS MONTH.

Add to that the upside "return" you get on higher and better efficiency, effectiveness, performance, income and satisfaction, and it's clear to see that an investment in YOU pays the highest interest.

This "learning card" will be your pass-key to research, information, answers, online links, and even the ability to listen to or watch what you want when you want it. You'll have access to audio and video online, ON-DEMAND, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, from where ever you are in the world.

Full streaming video with quality we can actually stand to watch is right around the corner. This puts total control into your hands, which is the single biggest and most irreversible buying trend of the new millennium.

At $10/month, a company with as few as 10,000 customers brings in a million dollars a year.

A million dollars in sales can be worth from $2 million to $10 million in capitalization (cap) value, depending upon it's profits and potential for growth. With monthly members, you have a business you can sell.

Boost that number to one million customers, and you have a company generating $120 million annually and worth $500 million to a billion dollars.

You can see why AOL is buying everything in sight. Twenty million people pay them roughly $20/month - that's a tidy little cash flow of...

AOL's founder Steve Case understands the economics of the new millennium...

Same money spent, vastly different effect on the value-ability and market-ability of the company. You can predict and capitalize a consistent stream of income, even if it's only $10/month. You don't know if the one-time customer will ever buy again.

What's more, a "regular" customer is more likely to spend more money with you.

Many cable subscribers spend $25 to $50 and more to "pay-per-view" special events. People do it online - they "pay-per-use" for an audio or video, or download a report or new book for $10, $20, $50 and higher. They might even become big spenders and buy a higher priced offering.

Many $20/month members spend thousands each year on other products they want.

A $10/month customer can yield hundreds, often thousands of dollars of added revenue per year, increasing the profit and boosting the value of the company.

This IS the business and learning model of the future, one in which a content provider can give high value to a learner, for a reasonable investment. E-Books, electronic files that you download to your computer and print out on 8 1/2 x 11 paper to read, sell for 1/3 to 50% off the cost of the "real" book., and, it is delivered instantly, the moment you want it.

We have a library of more than 100 written, audio and video, and CD titles.

We will add more every year. Many are downloadable via your internet connection, or you can "pay-to-view" them once for a fee. Some you can have delivered if you want "hard copy" (audios, videos, CDs, books).

Now, we have a way to put this vast and valuable library of learning tools and technologies to work, to better the life of the person they were developed for - YOU. The technological breakthroughs of the 21st century now enable us to accomplish this mission.

After all, what good is having access to life-transforming technologies, cutting edge tips and powerful tools, if you don't share them with the world? Imagine a company finding the remedy for the common cold, and keeping it a secret?

We haven't discovered the cure for the common cold, but...

The traditional models of businesses are being transformed. This is especially true in publishing knowledge and information. The cost to inventory 100 titles in hard copy is prohibitive to a small publisher. But, with regular membership and online, on-demand delivery, inventory costs are reduced, the price is lower, and the value is enhanced for everyone.

It's the ultimate win-win-win transaction.

We can deliver high value content more affordably to larger numbers of people. The bottom line is more value for less cost - which means a fair profit for us, and a bigger return on investment for you.

The buyer controls the entire transaction. You have the information and material when you want it, need it and decide to buy it.

That is the direction we're headed. I invite you to come along for the ride.
