PROJECT BRAINSTORM, AND CREATIVE PROJECT TOP THREE IDEA PROPOSAL:

When working in a virtual environment, individuals loose the normal "outside the home" interaction with others that is normally achieved in a workplace. People also are directly connected to the company they work for, but often times know nothing about their fellow coworkers. You may see names repeated in a database but not one time interact with anyone. The idea I have would be to bring fellow Lifebushido workers together while at the same time, providing a "social outlet". I was thinking an idea may be to create a "virtual lunchroom". It's design would be a combination of a chat room and forum. It would be comprised of different lunch "tables" that a person can opt to sit. Each table would be a category... Lifebushido experiences, family, pets, etc... When you enter the lunch room, it shows who is currently taking lunch, and who is sitting at each table. Maybe using something like the chatzy.com setup? I noticed on there, the individual did not have to register to enter. If the "lunchroom" web location and private login is made available to all Lifebushido workers, they would be able to enter using that information along with their name and that would eliminate the need for us trying to sync with the database. Maybe when they enter the lunchroom, the first step is to enter their name, age, and 1 sentence about themselves. Then as they sit at tables, that information shows in a bubble above their head! They can choose to save their info so the next time they enter, they can just click on their name in a "last ate" box and then go to a table. Or we can even offer the option for the user to build the an avatar like in the video games! So in addition to the name, age, and sentence, these little personalized people will show on the screen!

 * Angela’s ideas**

It occurred to me that I only discovered Lifebushido by chance. I had never heard of them until a chance encounter on [] (which also wasn’t easy to find when doing google searches on work-at-home oppurtunities by the way!) So, I went to google.com and began to enter terms such as “create goals” and “books to help entrepreneurs” etc, etc, and was surprised to //not// find references to any Lifebushido’s services right off the bat. I only spent a minute or two initially researching the “findability” via Google, but would be //very// curious to do further research to find out how findable the company is using a variety of different search engines, and a variety of different search terms. We could endeavor to do this research, and report on the results, In addition to making suggestions and even taking action if time were to allow on how to improve web visibility. I like this idea the best of my 2 ideas because it would easily incorporate ALL of lifebushido’s endeavors into the project and would most likely produce extraordinary results
 * 1)Research Visibility and how to make Lifebushido more visible on web**

2**) Creative Ad on Top WAH site(s)? to advertise Lifebushido** I found Lifebushido through the website Work at Home Adventures [] Check out the site. They have a large following of SAH job seekers. They had done a little piece on the company and that they were hiring, etc. I found their website to be the most attractive & informative site on the web when searching for WAH jobs. They offer paid advertising, and since Lifebushido is trying to really get the word out about its SAH job offerings I thought maybe it would be an opportunity to create a unique job advertisement for the site, that links directly to lifebushido job info I’m not sure if the site would allow us to do testimonials for them as part of it or not but it could be looked into. __It is not free-__ we would have to get all the details and include in the proposal if we went with this.

Laquita's Idea

Creating an interactive site to send thank you cards


 * 1) I would like to improve the look and message of www.thankyouforward.org. It is a website that sends thank you's to people are close to you or someone that has helped you in some way in your life. I think the website needs to be more interactive, have more links to click on, and it should also have a way that people can make thank you cards on their website. As of now, it only tells you how to send thank you cards or where to make some and send it via e-mail or snail mail or using a service. I think that this website has no purpose unless it has options for people to make and send personalized cards through their site. Such as free virtual cards, or they can pay a small fee to send thank you cards through snail mail. There should also be a power point presentation or a video showing how to use the site.**


 * 2)** Blog creation to drive traffic to Lifebushido


 * Creating a blog for all Lifebushido Triangle to interact. This could be a testimonial for future Lifebushido recruits to read upon and found out first hand what we do as being part of a Triangle for Lifebushido. It can also be where Triangle's come to help each other out with different ideas about a project. The blog can also have links to Lifebushido on Facebook and also where people looking to work at Lifebushido can click on a link that will take them apply. I'm still brainstorming on how to drive more traffic to the blog through Facebook. Maybe create our own Lifebushido Triangle Facebook page and have fellow triangle's share it so their friends would see it and then they could share it with their friends and so on.**

Nancy's Idea** I think that the products lifebushido have to offer need more "foot traffic". As far as I can tell the company mostly relies on the new recruits, new hires, and employees to promote these products. Instead of relying on wiki pages to get information out there on things like Goalbusido free e-books could be created so that all the information Steve would like to get across could be accessed by anyone with a kindle, nook, or computer.
