Here is the online video from my presentation about making money with virtual goods in social communities:

“In den USA beläuft sich der Umsatz mit virtuellen Gütern bereits auf über eine Milliarde Dollar, dann muss in Deutschland doch auch Geld damit zu verdienen sein“ erläutert Martin Szugat seine Motivation für SnipClip.com. Zusammen mit zwei Freunden gründete er SnipClip.com und konnte jüngst die ersten Startup-Preise sammeln. Social Communities erfreuen sich immer größerer Beliebtheit und daher müssen sich nach Meinung von Martin Szugat alle Händler und Marken mit ihnen auseinander setzen. „Wenn wir unsere digitalen Produkte verkaufen wollen, müssen wir in die Social Communities, dort sind unsere Kunden. Außerdem setzen wir auf die Sammelleidenschaft der Deutschen.“, Im Rahmen der Microsoft Gründerinitiative wird SnipClip.com uns ihre Lösung für den „realen“ Vertrieb von virtuellen Gütern auf der Social Community Plattform Facebook zeigen.

“unternimm was.”- die Microsoft Gründerinitiative: Startup3: SnipClip.net – Geld verdienen mit virtual goods und social communities

The introduction is by Carsten Rudolph, head of the “Unternimm was”. initiative of Microsoft. “Unternimm was.” supports startups not only in a technical way, what most people would expect, but also in business development. So thanks Carsten for your support!

Virtuelle Güter – reale Gewinne

Virtuelle Güter kennen wir nur aus virtuellen Welten und Online-Spielen. Doch auch in webbasierten Communities entfalten virtuelle Güter ihre Funktion als soziales Statussymbol und bescheren den Community-Betreibern nicht nur erstaunliche Einnahmen, sondern binden gleichzeitig die Nutzer an deren Website. Der Vortrag stellt erfolgreiche Beispiele von virtuellen Gütern in Social Networks vor, erklärt die Grundlagen virtueller Ökonomien und beleuchtet die Erfolgsfaktoren von derartigen Geschäftsmodellen.

The conference takes place in Berlin during May, 25 until 27.

This time I attended a workshop from the VDI (yesterday; it was great!) and today I visited the Startup Lounge. I’m a little bit disappointed: there were just six or so investors, mainly venture capital companies, but no business angels. The sessions weren’t exciting either. However, there was one session that was inspiring and very entertaining. Titus, the sixty year old founder and head of Titus, a famous Skater company, told his life story. It was very encouraging.

Here is a picture of me at the Startup Lounge together with Stephan from sofatutor, taken by Alexander from Deutsche Startups:

Have a good time!

  • artists that present their art at the webinale
  • experts on web technologies and trends that share their expertise with the participants
  • investors that join the evening party and meet with founders

The next Garage will take place this time in Berlin at the 20th October. The talk will be about SnipClip, of course, but also but virtual goods in social networks in general and in Facebook in special. My question to you, my dear readers, is: should we present more technical information or more business-related information? Please, tell me, if you are participating!

And have a good time!

Martin
