MindBites.com - Share Knowledge

What are you good at? We are all good at something, either you have good fashion sense or can play an instrument. Whatever you talent is there is someone out there that could benefit or enjoy learning about it. At MindBites.com you can share your knowledge and talent with others and look for lessons that interest you. MindBites.com features video lessons that range from cooking to making bath salts. These lessons instruct you on how to do certain things. You can browse through the site and see what lessons interest you, but in order to purchase a lesson or post your own video lesson you must be a member. Create a profile and post a lesson. For each person who purchases a lesson you receive $1 you can decide to keep your earnings or give them to a charity. If you are interested in purchasing a video lesson they cost either $1.69 or $1.99. There are many categories to look through or you can search through the featured lessons or recently posted lessons. You can check out authors profiles to see how many lessons they have posted and how many lessons their have purchased. MindBites.com is a great way to learn something new or to share your knowledge with others.

  Why it might be a killer  

MindBites.com has an attractive interface. The site is easy to navigate with all of its content categories listed at the bottom of the page. MindBites.com has a thorough FAQ section. It is great that authors can decide to give their proceeds to charity if they wish. The PayPal system is an easy way for authors to receive their money. MindBites.com is an easy and deficient way for people to share their talents with other and learn more about topics that interest them at the same time.

  Some questions  

MindBites.com states that you must earn a minimum of $25 to get paid. What happens if you make less than $25? If you make $20 you won’t get paid? Since MindBites.com suggests that authors can give their earnings to charity, it would be nice if people could feature their charities on the site, so that users know where their money is going. I see that the page has a Spanish post; will MindBites.com plan on having the site available in other languages?

Good stuff that I suspect will only get better.

Yes there are other startups doing this, but MB has a unique spin... I think a lot of people might be inclined to create quality content because they can make money doing it. If you create a platform that lets other people build an income, then you're looking more like eBay and less like YouTube.

Video's were professional quality, short, and information rich. First experience proved the site was easy to navigate, ensuring I would return for more. Love the business model.
