The Initiative
.
Seeds, soil, water and sunshine, are needed to make things grow. With thoughtful planting, sensible harvesting, we can live off the land. Giving vegetables, flowers and fruit, every garden is a blessing.
.
What to say: Learn the exact phrase above, and then explain how this is applied in the eight key components below: Community, Meetups, Academy, Directory, Map, JobsBoard, EventSpace and the MarketPlace. Think of these as the foundation stones and/or building blocks. Visualize 8 rooms.

Virtual video chat rooms, in several languages, available 24/7/365. Instantly connect with other members of your tribe. Follow up with local networking events, and widen your social circles.
.
Online courses and workshops, specifically related to this initiative. Knowledge is the key to a better understanding, and continual growth. Empowering us to make a meaningful difference.

Progressive Administrators & Managers can also use this initiative to empower their staff, increasing productivity and profits.

The Target Audience
.
.
What to say: There is no cost to create an account. All user are automatically affiliates, and can participate in revenue sharing. It’s a single-tier affiliate program, much the same as the Amazon business model. Commissions are only paid on direct referrals. This is NOT multi-level marketing nor pyramid scheme. Important to stress that it’s not MLM. This is usually the first thought that crosses sceptical minds. Affiliates can earn from 5%, and work their way up to 50%, all without having to be paying members. Those users who choose to become Members, have privileged access to more areas, namely Downloads PLUS, Courseware PLUS, Business Pack & Partner 50/50.

Philosophy & Principles
.
What to say: This initiative is integral to Ubuntu Synergy – “I am, because we are. Together”. High ethical standards and strong set of principles. This includes a complete lack of spam, hype, MLM, donations and commercial advertising. There is a better way, it’s called affiliate marketing.
.
Carving an alternative path through the online jungle, this initiative does not intend to disrupt, but rather show the way for discerning people. With a preference to avoid the disrespectful, anonymous idiots, we offer an online experience that is ethical, professional and courteous.
NO SPAM and/or Unsolicited Commercial Email.
The majority of email is unnecessary and/or junk. It’s difficult to get important correspondence. Regardless, it’s still an essential medium. We only send out email if and when absolutely needed.
.
NO hype and/or annoying pressure sales tactics.
It’s annoying to be taken for fools, with exaggerated claims and fake testimonials. Adding insult to injury with purchase deadlines and click-baiting. We simply give the facts and let users decide.
.
NO MLM (Multi-Level-Marketing) and/or pyramids.
Get-rich-quick schemes abound on the Internet, preying on the gullible and greedy. Network marketing is not to be confused with affiliate marketing. There are no sponsors nor pyramids.
.
NO donations and/or charitable tax write-offs.
We believe that charity starts at the cash register. Fundraising on the Internet is murky at best. We want no part of it. The resources offered here are (really) free, with optional memberships
.
NO advertisements and/or irritating pop-up offers.
Probably the biggest cause of pollution on the Internet is advertising. It’s everywhere, intrusive and annoying. Like getting slapped while trying to read a book. We don’t do any adverts. Period.
.
.
.
Team, Help & Support
.
What to say: You are never alone. Ever. There is always a helping hand, just an online chat and/or support ticket away. Where the Tutorials and FAQ may fail to answer queries, there is a keen team of trained professionals ready to help. Frustrated, unhappy users, don’t make for paying members.

The Companion Book
.
What to say: While our activities are primarily online, we also use traditional marketing methods and publications. This includes a companion book. An easy to read manual, with QR codes and links directing readers to pertinent sections of this website. Books still rule in the lives of many.
