Why hasn’t there been a successful search engine like Scanradar before?
Banners and contextual ads are not economically efficient
for people’s skills and services salesSmall search aggregator’s commission doesn’t cover the cost of skill
sales through banners and context ads.
SEO – can be done only on several categories or keywords
and is very expensiveEvery desirable category or keyword is very expensive and time
consuming by SEO.
Classic advertising and media publications are not effective Several examples in Russia (ex. Avito.ru) show that you have to
spend millions of dollars to get desired effect.
It’s hard to get a large database of skilled specialistsPeople aren’t motivated to complete profiles with their skills,
contacts and photos on new sites.
Quality and securityIt’s hard to maintain quality without interviews with potential
specialists. Interviews in an office are expensive, and decrease
potential growth of the business
New distribution
channels are needed
Social mechanics for distribution and viral growth
Attracting first users for applying viral mechanics for
further growth
First users are found through PR, banners in social networks
and AdWords.
Collect skills: what people in your area can doPeople write about what they can do in registration process.
Nice webpages showing their skills are created automatically.
In order to find out what their friends can do users can
connect their email contacts and social networks to their
accounts.
Verification process as mechanism for growthUsers need at least 3 friends recommendations to earn money
on their skills. People send recommendation requests to their
friends. Friends join Scanradar to give recommendations and
request new recommendations for themselves.

friends’ recommendations.
