  Creators are, instead, agreeing to lend Raincloude their material for free to use for inventory on Raincloude's website for however long they choose to have their material posted. In exchange, Raincloude agrees to make its best effort to use its website to record and pay out tokens earned by their material.

• Skill search is included! Users may opt in or out of this to find talent and resourses. *This is free.
   
• Raincloude doesn't analyze you and give you suggestions for things to see and visit. You get what you set your profile and search engines for.
   
• The search engines pull randomly from everything based on your requests so the more specific you are, the more specific results you'll get. Everything gets cycled and has potential to be found.
   
• For things like fanfiction and other material that shares it's origin from several sources, Raincloude offers translatable documents for agreement and adjustable split payment. Agreement is revocable. The material suddenly stops being available when this happens.

• Raincloude also supports the community by donating to green causes and content creation!

Performance Examples:

*The numbers below are all one-time visit numbers. If someone decides to revisit something for any reason (example- 'I like this song so it's in my playlist now' or 'I love this show/movie etc') that number grows accordingly.

400-pg Novel/Book:
Regular Book Sales:
"$10,740- 34,440-annual avg salary selling 6,000 books at $14.99 but retaining $1.79 or $5.74"-https://self-publishingschool.com/how-much-do-authors-make/

"The average manuscript for a novel comes in anywhere between 250 to 400 manuscript pages."- http://askaliteraryagent.blogspot.com/2009/11/what-is-ideal- page-count-for-first.html

Raincloude Book Sales:
400 pages x .03 = $12 per book. 6,000 customers x $12 per book = $72K direct (unless with contract).

23-minute episode for a TV Show:
Raincloude:
23 x $.01 = $0.23/ episode
$0.23 x 26 episodes in a season = $5.98

Music:
Average song = 3 minutes
"On average, a YouTube channel can receive $18 per 1,000 ad views, which equates to $3 - $5 per 1000 video views."-https://influencermarketinghub.com/how-much-do-youtubers-make/

Raincloude rate:
1,000 video views of 3-minute video @ 1 token per minute = 3,000 tokens :: 3,000 / 100 (for cents) = $30
*I would absolutely LOVE IT if something 'went viral' for you on Raincloude!

About The Founder!

Hi! My name is Erin and I'm the founder of Raincloude.com Corporation! 

As a creator myself, I want to provide a website that supports creatives, entrepreneurship, and scientific advances through all types of economic weather!

The idea of Raincloude started as a flea market in 2015. I quickly decided that it needed be a website instead but tabled it until 2017 because I couldn't figure a name for it.

In 2017, I figured an average spending amount based on what things costed at the time. It came out to be about 1 US cent per minute.

The name 'Raincloude' came to me at that time as a passing thought and I decided to work with it because the name fit. I had not heard of any other companies with the name at the time but figured others probably existed. I figured that, just as there are many famous people named 'John', I would have to allow people to learn about and know this particular Raincloude for it's special spelling and services.

Its name comes from the concept of collecting something small (as water does with clouds) to make a larger event/profit/turnout occur (rain).

I drew its logo at that time as well. It represents the uniqueness of people- their personalities and talents. They're nice individually and together, they're a stronger force. They make the world go round.

The silent 'e' at the end of Raincloude does not stand for something. I just liked the way the name looked when spelled like this.

From early 2017 to late 2018, I wrote a lot of code for what is currently the layout for Raincloude's website. I used dictionaries and tester windows to teach myself and built as I went along. I came to a stopping point and wanted people that actually took courses and practiced for some time to come back and edit what I had done.

In 2019, I began sourcing potential partners for running this business. On March 27th of  2020, I registered this company in Texas as a C Corp- ''Raincloude.com Corporation'. I followed up with a DBA afterward so that I could be brief when I spoke about it.

I happened to go out looking for funding at just the right time initially- the 'dawning' of the COVID pandemic! I absolutely wanted this available for people to use at that time! However, I had difficulty finding funding.

Thankfully, I think I'm getting a better grip on this fundraising game!

I have a goal that will require several rounds so I made a comic and etc to post so people wont just have text to see.

Again, thank you for all of the support you are willing to give!

Sincerely,
Erin
