"Blockchain Opportunity Analysis"
Is Seeking
Revenue-Sharing Collaborators!!!
"Blockchain Opportunity Analysis" is a project spear-headed by Building Blocks Technologies which seeks to generate revenue while at the same time, providing a service to the emergent blockchain community.
The focus of the project is to produce an interactive visualization of the blockchain space, where data and statistics can be explored to reveal a picture of the opportunities available in this domain. Revenue is generated by selling community-specific ad space (Q1 2022) and, eventually, by hosting job listings natively (Q2, 2022). Competition in this niche space is currently very low and demand is projected to increase throughout 2022 and beyond as Blockchain technology continues to gain momentum around the world.
The data to back the visualization is collected, analyzed and databased. The source of the data is job postings, Crunchbase and Etherscan. In the future, we may expand the data collection to whitepapers, patent applications, and blockchain-focused company websites.
Building Blocks Technologies currently has responsibility for both the back-end (developed in-house) and the front-end (design is done in-house; development is outsourced). We are currently seeking revenue-share partners to take Ownership of the Marketing/Sales/Product portions of the project.
The initial (Q1 2022) revenue will come from Community based advertising. The revenue share for Building Blocks will be 40%. The revenue share for the Marketing/Sales/Product component will be 40%. In exchange for this 40%, the Marketing/Sales/Product partner will take full ownership of defining and executing tasks necessary to achieve the goal of generating revenue via community based advertising. The marketing/sales partner may, at their discretion, sub-divide the tasks and rewards to other contributors as necessary to achieve the goals. The remaining 20% will be held in reserve for Front-End development, hosting and other infrastructure costs.

Examples of Potential
Revenue from Job Postings
(Targeted for Q2 2022 to Host Native Job Postings)
The following table gives a partial list of websites that currently host blockchain-related job postings.
CryptocurrencyJobs is listed at the top of the table and is likely the biggest direct competitor. They have a few features to their website, but they don't have the data analysis/analytics or interactive visualization that this Blockchain Opportunity Analysis project will have, which should drive traffic to our offering.
LinkedIn is the number one in volume and it is guessed that our project could siphon some of their Blockchain-focused clients.
