Core idea: Instead of just scrolling, social media users make verified actions that solve real problems (college debt, loneliness, media clickbait fueling rage, etc.) while brands pay premium advertising fees for measurable outcomes and the social media platform takes a platform fee.
For example:
OPERATION RENAISSANCE:
- Social media user connects their MOOC account.
- AI surfaces 2–4 MOOC lessons per day (career-aligned) and one optional sponsored lesson (2–4 min) from Google, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, AWS, etc.
- User watches and answers 3 verification questions
- Earns $6–$8 credit (expires after 12 months).
- Max 5 sponsored lessons per month on free tier; unlimited on Premium+.
- Credits auto-apply at partner checkout (no gift-card fallback, zero money-transmitter risk).
MAGNETIC:
Uses AI to continuously surface small-group (3–8 person) real-world meetups for shared hobbies — running clubs, board-game nights, climbing partners, basketball, etc. — exclusively for verified social media users who want platonic, interest-based friendships in their city.
Why? Convenience of not having to actively search for connections + safety features:
- Government-ID + real-name verification (display name can still be pseudonym)
- Mutual 90-day social media history required
- Background check via Checkr/Onfido
- Host must be Premium+ with 6+ months clean record
- One-tap “emergency report” button tied to 24/7 human moderation
- All meetups logged; users rate each other post-event (persistent safety score)
SAPPHIRE:
A Premium-only media format that replaces clickbait with actionable impact journalism. Every investigative or breaking-news post ends with a single, frictionless CTA that routes users directly into the product ecosystem (e.g., donate, volunteer, contact Congress, buy from mission-aligned brands), all powered by real-time, on-platform data.
Specific questions:
- Which of these feel completely unfeasible and why?
- Biggest regulatory or execution landmines I’m missing?
- Would you actually use any of these as a user?
I have a total of 14 product concepts that together could generate $519M–$1.18B Annual Recurring Revenue at Year 5-6. I've grouped them into four phases that would be rolled out over a 6+ year period.
WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR:
- Product/developer feedback.
- Connect with developers to create MVP.
- Someone with a connection to X/Twitter to review/develop these products. (Don't have an MVP and was wondering if these can be pitched as concepts to an existing platform, such as X, for development/launch. My background is 10 years in marketing. And I'd like to have a marketing role to develop this ecosystem for X).
Happy to answer questions or send a link to product summaries with more details.
Thanks in advance for the tips/advice/referrals.
