Welcome To Advance

Join, get a lot of learning and unlock the power of a large but exclusive and carefully chosen crowd

Why Advance?

Hi I have written a lot down below if you wish to read it all.

I am expecting everyone who has come here knows knows, likes and trusts us.

Mainly this is an invite to a special community which you will benefit from hugely.

It has been 6 years in the making.

There are 7 main benefits of joining. 


Become part of a growing invite only community. If you want to achieve something online this will help you. A lifelong mastermind with collaboration and more

Get an investment stake in 2 brand new businesses.

Get the chance to sell your own course or book and to make money from selling those of others

Get 1000 days of daily expert tips and education about social media, health and longevity, business and using the internet. So works out at under 3 cents a day

Get the chance to buy low cost health products

Get your content shared by others in your niche area. We have 20 different groups inside the main group.

Get the chance to get paid by inviting others

You may see benefit in just one or 2 of these things or maybe all.

By joining very early you will get in super cheap. We have already raised the price once. 

It is $29 for life no further payments necessary. We have nearly 100 great people now and are aiming at 100,000. 


This is a new way of learning and improving.

Learn almost everything you need to know almost for free.

Experience the power of collaboration. 

I have developed a set of 20 carefully crafted questions which will give you a score of 1-100%. 100 means that you are using the internet and social media to your full capacity. Everybody here will be at least 10 and most will be 30-50. 

It is then a case of taking steps to slowly but surely increase your score. Many of the "gaps" you have can be filled almost immediately. All of this will result in you spending way less time online and getting way better results. 

I have been teaching like this and connecting people daily for 18 years now and have seen many people completely explode their online presence and reach. I decided on an initial low one time price because a great deal of how this happens will be driven by community and by connecting you with others in your chosen niches. 

So until we get 200-300 people the price will be one time only and be relatively low. It will keep increasing though. 

Besides learning you can put up links to posts from all over the internet that you want read and shared. The one time price has been raised once already and we will put it up again regularly. There is a money back guarantee at any time. This will ensure that only happy people are involved. We aim to get 100,000 people eventually at a price of 25 times what it is now. Please join!  

We are here to help you advance.

I am a lawyer from New Zealand and my wife is a PHD scientist from Japan. We are honest and successful people who have done this before and learned a lot.

Our primary aim here is to get you making much much better use of your time online.

This is our second price level we raised it when we had our first 50 people pay. We have called this the 100,000 Club and Co Club and after consultation with members have now settled on Advance.

We are aiming at including 2 quite specific types of internet user. 

1. Regular social media users. Maybe making a little content but with some aspiration to make more. 

2. Writers, Artists, Bloggers, Authors, Video makers, Graphic designers, coaches and Networkers. Not yet celebrities or huge influencers but wanting to improve their ability to reach an audience. 


We want to say to you that is is primarily a place where good people support each other. We are both an investment team and a marketing team. We have huge power in a way that individuals or small groups cannot dream of. 

Plus there are many other features that you will enjoy. We are not really a discussion place you should keep doing that on your present social networks. When there is discussion here it will be about learning things, what we invest in and what we market. 

We are not doing this for money and absolutely everything that comes in will go back into the community. We enjoy connecting and supporting people and the magic that so often comes from that. 

Present benefits for paying people are 

1. Access to The Power Of Connectedness Book and test you can see the sales page for that here. It sells for $7.

https://www.thepowerofconnectedness.com 

2. Lifetime Access to Yoriko's updating longevity resource Proactive Not Reactive. It is $27 to buy individually.

https://www.proactivenotreactive.com

3. Lifetime Access to Michael's updating course/guide about using Social Media and the Internet. It is $19 to buy individually. 

So altogether $53 of value already nearly twice the price of joining the community. All 3 of these things are extremely high quality we are not sure anything nearly as good exists. We have both been studying and working for over 30 years to gain the experience and insights that we deliver. Everything we know is here.

4. Ability to be in our Twitter community and Twitter group and our Instagram channel.
 Ability to post in our Facebook and Linked In groups. Ability to blog in our website and in our Medium group.

5. Discounts on some of our members' courses and books. We already have quite a few educators in the community. 

6. Daily promotion of your social medium posts to a wide range of accounts

7. Access to regular Zoom calls

8. Ability to invite 10 people and be paid when they pay. 

9. Some Advance Tokens in an online wallet. Some of you will like this and some will not be so interested I guess. It is a developing concept. Right now our token is trading on a public exchange. People are buying and selling it daily. The goal is to increase the value slowly but surely as more people use it.

10. Ability to sell your membership whenever you like 

Will be a little like Twitter but with a bigger profile page and a blog and photo gallery. So Linktree, Twitter, Medium and Instagram altogether. With a dash of Linked In and Mind Valley.

We offer you a great chance to you to be part of something amazing and to be right at the start. Please read on and watch the video. Choose the cheapest plan below as it could be removed at any time. We will raise the price regularly. It is $29 right now and we are aiming to sell the final ones for $1000. Maybe more. 

But please take the free choice if you wish. You can upgrade later. 


We have been watching people get frustrated with social media in the past few years and we have created a much much better and more useful place. A lot of really great content is barely getting seen because it never gets an initial boost. We have a system for giving you that.

We have seen people fighting with each other on social media. Who really wants that?

For an example of the power of a group please look at an online worldwide Golf Club I belong to. The LINKS DAO. We have 10,000 life long founding members and are now admitting annual members. We have bought a beautiful golf course in Scotland and are buying another in the USA. We have over 60 sponsorship relationships with some big companies and we have discounted golf at over 1300 courses worldwide. We have done all this in 18 months. All run out of Discord.

That is just one highly successful community which has been learned from to create the Advance. The first was Ecademy Black Star. About 300 of us paid about $100 a month to belong to an exclusive on and offline business networking group. Then training and city groups in 50 cities worldwide with XL Results Foundation. About 3000 of us paid around 5-10,000 each to belong to that. Then Social Traffic which was an 1000 person strong marketing team. Then Empire Avenue. A collaborative community where we shared each other's posts. About 300,000 joined that. At the peak there were 20,000 actively involved and some people spent over $5000 over the past 10 years. Then our own community Crowdify. Also Angel List. Plus many Facebook groups.

So there is a little bit learned from many things here. There are 9 key things that make an online - offline community successful. Most of the groups above have 4 or 5 of the key things.

With Advance we are recreating our old community that had 14 million members. Crowdify. So here is how that looked 7 and even 8 years ago. The vision is still exactly the same! We give support, education and promotion to great people and and we have real life meetups and we pay you. 

Here is a small indication of the daily success we were having. For several months we woke daily to our inbox looking like this. 

Often we were getting 20-30 Bitcoin a day. Over a million dollars worth. These payments came in just 10 minutes for example on 10 July 2017. And then in another 10 minutes on the 21st the day we were robbed.

So in 2 spells of 10 minutes we had $1.5 million of investment.

These are emails sent to my Gmail inbox by Block.io a blockchain wallet.

People were incredibly hungry to be part of what we were doing and will be again

I was one of the very first to teach about and to market using Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest. His book won some awards.

Here are just 2 of about 60 examples you can see at my Linked in profile.



Advance will be a little like Linked In and Mind Valley but with many additional features and possibilities. Imagine for example if 100,000 of the best people on Linked In all got together and formed a marketing team. And you could use that or be paid for being part of it. Imagine if you could actually interact with and ask questions of coaches and educators?

Why 100,000??

100,000 is manageable. Especially when they are split into 30 different interest groups and also split geographically and by personality type. 

Many of us have a lot of people in their networks whose faces and names they recognize. They know what they do and where they live. 

If we choose 100 cities and have 10 different kinds of meetup then that averages out at 100 people attending. Realistically even that is only 30 attend but they all bring a partner or a guest it can still be a great event. 

Already we have had a lot of feedback and we are making tables of what this is and what it is not.

What it is:

  1. Education about getting better at social media and the internet.
  2. A marketing team
  3. A collective buying group. For Wine, Travel and much more
  4. A place for you to get more activity on your posts all across social media
  5. A place to maybe make money by being paid to participate in influencer marketing campaigns
  6. A safe and secure and secure place to network in a uniquely targeted way both by interests and locality
  7. A place to find co founders, staff or employment
  8. A place to sell art, photography or courses
  9. Highly targeted online and offline meetings
  10. Make money by introducing people. Right now we are paying 50% of all membership money to inviters.
  11. A time saving tool
  12. Get Perks. There will be many things sent to us to try out.

What it is not:

  1. A place where you will be asked for any fees or further payments
  2. A spam fest or a place you sent Direct Messages selling things. Please do that elsewhere
  3. For everyone. This was the huge mistake we made last time. This time we are checking all new members thoroughly and there will be no free members. We are aiming for a high quality membership.
  4. Not just an internet thing. We want to have parties and conferences, our own coworking spaces and golf events. Wine tasting meetups. Anything you can suggest. Shape this how you want to.
  5. A time suck. Quite the opposite. Firstly we will get your posts shared by key people in your industry. So you can get back to creating content and not trying to promote it. Secondly your networking will be so much better targeted here than elsewhere




If there is ever anything my wife or I can do to help you in any way please ask. We made this new kind of Linked In to help you with your business. Please watch this.

We will get our 100,000 members by the end of next year and the final ones will pay not $29 like now but $1000. 35 times as much as like what happened last time. We have done this successfully before and we will do it again. It took 16 months last time and that  16 months again.

We had 64 staff worldwide and we know exactly how to run a team like that. In the end it starts and finishes with customer service. Customer service is 99% of any business.

Are you interested in a place that offers you a better standard of social networking? 

Run by people who have enjoyed massive success creating something like this before?

The “club” will be run like a DAO or a society. Where and when possible decisions will be made by polls and voting.

What you see here is merely a start. We of course welcome any ideas or suggestions.

Our website is being built but this is a gathering place until it is functional and operational.

Please have a quick read and join. 

Imagine belonging to a community that is limited to just 100,000 responsible and motivated individuals. With all the features of Linked In and many more but no spam or trolling. And where we make money together. A community where you have the power to invite 20 like-minded people you know, like and trust to become part of this exclusive network, and you get paid half of their joining fee. 

Yes, you read that right – you can earn while expanding our Club.

But that's just the beginning. As an early member of Advance, you hold unparalleled privileges. You can apply to start groups and shape their direction. Fancy yourself as a city leader? Well, here's your chance to apply and lead from the front. We believe in putting the power back in your hands, and that's why decision-making is a collective effort within our Club. Your voice matters!

Recognizing our early adopters, we give you the opportunity to be part of early committees. You will not only contribute to the growth of our Club but also leave an indelible mark on its history. Remember, pioneers like you played a vital role in building platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter, yet you received no monetary reward. At Advance, we believe you deserve not just credit and influence but also financial recognition for your contribution.

As we grow and welcome new members, the funds raised will be shared among existing members. Your investment today will multiply as each individual joins, securing your financial future while fostering a spirit of collaboration and shared success.

As a member of Advance you will receive a membership NFT. This unique digital asset holds value, as you can sell it at any time for a price of your choice, further benefiting from the exclusivity and demand our Club attracts.

We are a safe, spam-free community. No scary or unsolicited messages, just clean and meaningful interactions within the Overton window. Our members are vetted and voted on before entering, ensuring that you surround yourself with trustworthy individuals who share your passion for success.

Now, let's look at what will make the Advance website different. Our unique profile page surpasses anything you have ever experienced. Customize it to highlight your website, showcase your latest social media posts, and embed videos, giving you an unparalleled platform to amplify your personal brand.

This is an example of what profiles will look like. Our site is being built right now. This is a temporary gathering place.

So a lot on a profile. The idea is is content in and content out. So we will show off your latest social media posts, to promote your website and You Tube Video. Give people the chance to send you money for services or just as a tip. Show off your big idea and more. 

The idea is that this will be the profile that you share and promote all over social media. Run Your Own Ads On It!

One feature that you will love is promoted posts. Facebook and Instagram and other places charge you money for that. We will not. In Advance you will be able to use points you have accumulated from sharing other people or simply from being helpful inside the site. Your posts will be directed to other members who have chosen that interested. For example if you want to post about health on Twitter or Linked In your post will be shown to those members who have chosen health as one of their 5 topics. It will have a price tagged on it and they will be able to get points for sharing it.

Collaboration.

The idea that drew people to Crowdify was venture capitalism powerhouse driven by a massive team. Within our Club, members propose startup projects, and fellow members can choose to invest in chosen projects. As a collective force, we support these projects, with profits shared among all stakeholders. It's like having your very own personal army of investors and marketers, nurturing groundbreaking ideas and turning them into reality.

The Club will also invest in chosen projects on behalf of all members.

There's more. Advance hosts a Health Products Buyers Club and a Wine Buying Club, where members enjoy discounted access to high quality offerings. In addition, our Club facilitates city meetups, offering you the chance to connect with like-minded individuals, explore opportunities, and forge valuable connections. Events like speaker conference and golf tournaments. Coworking spaces and more.

Need a co-founder, investor, or talented team member? Our unique matching system, based on personality tests, helps you find the perfect fit for your venture. Specify your requirements on your profile, and let Advance's system and vast network work its magic.

We will give you a quick, free online test. You will find what your entrpreneurial and relationship energy is. You need at least 3 very different people to make a successful enterprise. 

Take Microsoft for example. Bill Gates was the creative and innovative influence. He never ran a meeting or hired or fired anybody. That was Steve Bulmer's job. Fire energy. Paul Allen with his metal energy packaged and priced the products. Made sure the business made money. This is all modelled on Roger Hamilton's Wealth Dynamics and you can also try his more sophisticated test to get more detailed results and some coaching about your profile.



We will unlock the power and leverage of influencer campaigns, and within our Club, you can run your own campaigns to market your products or services. Tap into a pool of reputable individuals with substantial social media influence, ensuring a trustworthy and compelling promotion for your offerings.

Moreover, we gibe you the power you to organize and market events both online and offline, exclusively to fellow members. Imagine hosting high-impact events and collaborating with influential individuals who are eager to support you.

Seeking the perfect job or talent in a secure and trusted environment? Advance has you covered with our job marketplace, guaranteeing that you engage with exceptional opportunities that match your aspirations.

Now, you might be wondering how Advance will work flawlessly this time around. Let us assure you, we've learned valuable lessons from past experiences. Our previous community, Crowdify, had 14 million profiles but was plagued by spamming and scammers. But this time, we are restricting our membership to 100,000 exceptional individuals, ensuring a close-knit, secure, and meaningful community. Trust will be a pillar of our Club, where every member is carefully vetted and chosen by our existing members.

This time will be very different.

We had the worlds first NFT marketplace. Our membership price rose 43 times in price in 16 months. We had 7 great apps. The concept works and we proved we could create and run it. 

Don't miss your chance to be part of this groundbreaking movement. Join The 100,000 Club today and unleash the power of community, innovation, and profit in your life.

Invest with total confidence, as we offer a full no-questions-asked money-back guarantee at any time. Your satisfaction is our utmost priority.

Together, let's build a group that changes lives, shapes industries, and redefines success. 

We started at $18 and raised that price. We are going to be under $30 USD for a few more days. The earliest people will get the best deal and the biggest benefit. Just the way it should be. 

We will then begin bumping up the price slowly but surely as more people join.
