Business Idea:
Create a reputation verification platform that allows developers and creators to showcase their credibility and trustworthiness independently of official blue checks, fostering genuine community trust.
Problem:
In the Build in Public community, followers struggle to trust unverified developers, leading to skepticism and reduced engagement, despite quality work.
Solution:
Develop a verification token system or digital badge that users can earn or obtain based on activity, contributions, and peer endorsements, verifying authenticity without requiring platform-imposed checks.
Target Audience:
Developers, creators, and entrepreneurs active in online communities seeking credible recognition and trust-building tools.
Monetization:
Offer premium badges, verification services, or subscription plans for enhanced visibility and reputation management. Partner with platforms for integration fees.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
By enabling users to earn or showcase trust through community-driven credentials, it democratizes reputation verification beyond official blue checks, fostering genuine engagement.
Launch Strategy:
Start with a simple web-based badge system where early adopters can earn credibility tokens. Collect feedback from the Build in Public community, then expand features and integrations based on demand.
