Empowr is pitched as a social networking site that pays its members to perform specific tasks through social media. The tasks could include liking pictures or posts, sharing posts, commenting etc. Most of what you already do on social media you could get paid for on Empowr.
Michael Pousti, Founder of Empowr
The company Empowr has gone through quite a few name changes over the years, and technically was established in 2002. Empowr was most recently known as Fan Box in 2007 and at one point referred to as Project Uplift.
Empowr has a very optimistic mission statement, and that’s to help half the planet earn $25 a day by 2025. This is an extremely aggressive goal, and Empowr plans on doing it by providing an efficient way for people to earn a little money on everyday tasks that they do anyway.
The founders have spent a lot of time within internet businesses, specifically Pousti, who founded and was CEO of college club.com back in the 90s. Pousti was also a computer engineering student who started a company called Higher Educational Resources Inc while he was in college. Having lots of experience within start up businesses, both founders are known for helping build multiple companies.
Empowr describes its platform as a democracy, where their citizens elect the company leadership. The more value the citizens create within the Empowr community, the more profits can be earned.
