Before Uber, Lift, and other ride sharing companies I used to use traditional taxis. To get downtown each way it costs about $50 with taxis, then you had to add a 20% tip on top of that. When Uber and Lift came around I thought it was amazing I could now go downtown at about half the price and I didn’t have to tip! The app made it so convenient. The whole concept was amazing. Fast forward a few years and I started to learn that all rides are subsidized losing money on each customer. For this reason the cost increase of rideshare was inevitable.  Also, local governments got involved and begin to put substantial fees/taxes on each ride. That’s coming from the perspective of a customer, things aren’t any better for the drivers. Drivers have to pay gas, car washes, and service for their vehicles. So what does all this have to do with Indiegogo? I’m letting my readers know about a team posed to launch a rival platform that will make the welfare of rideshare drivers a priority. The new rideshare platform is called Newber and it needs your support on Indiegogo today.

Consider supporting on Indiegogo Today:

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-rideshare-drivers-earn-livable-wages#/

The Newber Rideshare Platform is designed to help rideshare drivers make more money and improve passenger experience. One of the main features of the Newber platform is drivers will actually be able to earn a living. That’s something I’d like to see more of on these so called “gig economy” apps. Why not make gig apps that actually allow people to make full time income? The welfare of rideshare drivers is a top priority for Newber. One of the things I didn’t know about until reading the Indiegogo page is rideshare companies charge high commissions. Drivers of Newber will gain the advantage of keeping whatever they earn without having to split the fare charges.

The goal of he Newber Indiegogo campaign is $150,000 total. Patrons of this campaign will be paying for high-end servers, user agreement and legal advice, Android and IOS app development, advertisement, human resource management, and taxation. Money will be used to first develop a prototype, production, then completion of the project. The project will not only improve driver experience it also aims to improve the experience of the passenger.

Conclusion

Rideshare Apps were revolutionary when they came out initially, but cracks started forming. These companies can and should be improved. By supporting the Newber campaign you can help make a difference in the rideshare industry. Every penny you donate will help push drivers an inch towards better working conditions and livable wages. Consider support the Newber Indiegogo campaign today.

Imagine a post-apocalyptic world where rival nations wage war to compete for global dominance. What if I were to tell you this post-apocalyptic story would be told in a set of graphic novels that will be released on Indiegogo? If that doesn’t excite you I don’t know what will. The graphic novel being launched on Indiegogo is called MAVRICS: Origins Vol 1. by Aaron Neff (Writer/Creator), Garrett Gabbey (Artist), Eric Weathers (Letterer), and James Thomas (Editor). In this sci-fi epic, elite pilots in robotic combat suits wage war on the battlefield of tomorrow. I’m intrigued.

As a kid I used to collect comic books. My favorite comic book was X-Men, especially the character Wolverine. This was before the popular X-Men movies, mind you, but we still had the X-Men cartoon. Graphic Novels are similar to comic books, but differ in that they tell a story in one single book. Graphic Novels can be fiction, non-fiction, history, fantasy, or anything in-between. Then there’s the art work/images of the MAVRICS: Origins Vol 1 which is much higher quality than the comic books of my past.

The goal of this Indiegogo Graphic Novel is $500. I’m happy to report they have crushed that goal to the tune of +2207%. The MAVERICS Graphic Novel has raised $11,035 and has 156 backers. The author still needs your help, however. Consider supporting Global Frequency Studios on Indiegogo today. Not only will you help get this graphic novel off the ground you will get your own copy for just $20. It’s a no brainer.

Have you even been sweeping around the house and forgot where you put your dust pan? You look down at the pile of dirt and wonder how you’re going to sweep it up without it. Now there is a product that solves this common issue. Introducing the Pan2Can (Patent and Trademarked) the world’s first trash can/dust pan combo on Kickstarter. Simply locate your trash can, tip it over on its side, and sweep the dirt pile directly into the Pan2Can.

In addition to this blog I create product test videos, this Pan2Can gadget would be the perfect fit for my channel. The original story of this very clever idea comes from Deirdree who was a caregiver to her father for 16 years. She was also the owner of DeirdreeDsign, Inc, seasoned graphic designer turned Pan2Can product designer. Between Deirdree and their beloved cocker spaniel, Dezi – they tested and developed the product over several years. They wanted a product that could evolve and cater to many kinds of cleaning support both inside and outside the home. It was important for her to develop a solution that would help other caregivers around the world or anyone that needs extra support due to disability or mobility issues. Deirdree will actually be giving a percentage of the Pan2Can’s revenue to caregiving organizations, such as AARP Caregiver’s Support and their affiliates.

The Pan2Can measures approximately 18″ x 10″ x 9. It is engineered to be fully functional regardless of whether you are seated, standing or even laying down. The trash can/dust pan with the built in handle is compact enough to be stored anywhere. Put the Pan2Can under your office desk, workshop table, under a kitchen cabinet, or any other domestic or professional workstation. The storage options are truly endless. This product is so useful even Marie Kondo would probably be jealous.

Support On Kickstarter Today

If you are like me and this sounds like a gadget that you would use on a daily basic consider reserving a Pan2Can on Kickstater today. Visit Kickstart to support from $50 on up.

The concept and design has taken 20 years to get to this point. Tweaking the design drawings, producing prototypes, completing the patent and trademark process, now the next step is funding on Kickstarter. After the project is funded the goal will be to find the right plastics manufacturer. The plan is to use up-cycled materials including recycled plastic.

Reward Levels

The $50 level is where things get interesting. You will get one Pan2Can and one blue ink pen. At the $100 level you will get Pan2Can Gel Pen and Signed Sell Sheet. The rewards go all the way up to $5,000 with an ultimate goal of $77,000.

Conclusion

The situation I described at the beginning of this blog post I’ve been guilty of more than I’d like to admit. It just makes sense to turn your waste basket into your dust pan. It not only makes life easier I suppose it’s better for the environment to because a dust pan becomes obsolete when replaced with a 2 in 1 kitchen gadget waste basket. I wish I came up with this idea myself, but sadly I didn’t! The next best thing is to reserve my Pan2Can on Kickstarter today. The dust pan garbage can, such a wonderful idea!

Imagine a bra made just for you, with your custom measurements, all done in the comfort at your own home. It’s said that 75% of all women wear the wrong bra size because women have always been measured as if both breasts are perfectly symmetrical. There’s a product currently with a $250,000 Kickstarter goal that is looking to achieve the ultimate dream of making the world’s most comfortable bra. Gage is custom bra made just for you and their team needs your support on Kickstarter.

The story behind this Kickstarter begins with a problem. Lindsey D’Antonio, the founder, tried over and over to find a bra that fit her correctly. She tried on everything from bras at high-end boutiques, to expensive designer bras. During this process of finding a bra that actually fit she accumulated a drawer full of bras she didn’t wear. One night while Lindsey was out to dinner with her husband and friends she was complaining that she couldn’t wait to get home so she could take her uncomfortable bra off. Lindsey’s husband started to ask why it was so hard to find a good bra. How do women shop for bras, the current measuring techniques etc.? While Lindsey was answering her husband’s questions, she realized that there is a better way! This was the genesis of Gage.

Reserve your Gage Bra on Kickstarter

Wearing a garment to support the breasts may date back to ancient Greece. “Women wore an apodesmos meaning “breast-band”, a band of wool or linen that was wrapped across the breasts and tied or pinned at the back. Roman women wore breast-bands during sport. Though the first bra, a linen and lace garment that looks almost exactly like a modern bra, was discovered in an early 15th century collection from Lengberg Castle in Tyrol, Austria. Mass-produced bras are manufactured to fit a prototypical woman standing with both arms at her sides. The design assumes that both breasts are equally sized and symmetrical. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bra).” Yes, as you can see it has taken this long to finally create a custom, comfortable bra that all women can wear without discomfort.

The Gage measuring device is shipped to your home, adjust the eight pivot points to measure everything, and finally enter the measurements on the Gage web site and they will work their magic! Gage is a bra designed by women and it’s the first bra you will not want to take off.

Kickstarter

Pledge $199 or more and you will receive the first Gage Measuring Device and a $50 credit towards a Gage Bra or Swimsuit Top. The best part is you don’t have to send the Gage Device back you can use it over and over again. Use it for both bras and swimsuit tops. At the $499 level you will receive a limited edition Gage Measuring Device and a $200 credit towards the most comfortable bra or swimsuit top made just for you.

Conclusion

The Gage Company slogan is “Designed by a woman. Designed for ALL women.” If you are running into the same problem Lindsey D’Antonio discovered consider supporting the Kickstarter with this mission today. Start wearing a bra you’ll never want to take off.

During the last year plus dealing with the pandemic there were days I’d feel very down. I found the combination of working from home, working more than ever with the absence of the routines that balanced my life out to be very depressing. I could work 8,9,10,15 hours per day, but I couldn’t balance out my routines with the gym, concerts, socializing with friends, seeing family, seeing relatives, etc. There were Zoom calls and walks around the block, but lets be honest people need human connection. Not just a little, a lot. Replacing human connection with never ending work is an insult to the human soul. One thing I did find helpful is motivational music, videos, affirmations, speeches etc. I turned off the predictively negative news and turned on hopeful messaging. This is why I’m excited to bring a company I found to my readers attention. The company is called Affirmafit. Affirmafit produces YouTube affirmation and motivational fitness videos and needs your support on Patreon.

People sometimes say that they can’t get into motivational content, it “doesn’t do much for me.” I say did you go to the gym once and say to yourself “that was OK, but I didn’t see any results?” Like fitness I believe motivational content is part of one’s daily routine. It isn’t everything, but it surely will help you develop yourself into the person you want to be. Affirmafit gives the money generated through Patreon to free counselling, therapy, and mental health support. In addition to YouTube videos Affirmafit also creates life changing/balancing guides and participates in interesting philosophical discussions.

Conclusion

If you are like me and felt down many days this past year during the pandemic you know how important mental health is. Please consider supporting Affirmafit on Patreon to make their mission to improve mind, body, and spirit possible.

If there has been one thing on my mind this past year it’s cleanliness. Before the pandemic, I have to admit, cleanliness was not one of the top things on mind. There are things I think about now that I didn’t ponder at all pre-pandemic. For example opening up a door at post office or picking up a quarter off the street. So if I wasn’t thinking of these previous things I was definitely not thinking about a razor blade cleaning system. Not only does this unique Indiegogo device clean one’s bade (Water doesn’t fully do this btw) it will always keep your blades extra sharp.

If this is something you’d be intereted in definitely check out the $43 Razorbooster on Indiegogo:
https://igg.me/at/razorbooster

You can also visit their web site directly here:
http://www.razorbooster.com/

Have you ever tried to clean a blade and keep it sharp? It’s not a fun activity. That’s the reason by Razorbooster a Mystique Life Inc. creation was developed. Actually, I’d rather clean the kitchen and wash the dishes than clean and sharpen my shaver. The company has been featured on many news outlets including Benzinga, Fox 43 TN, Spoke, and Erie News Now. Seems people are interested in this product.

How Does It Work?

OK, before I explain the magic of this blade system I would like my blog audience to know it’s easy and it works. All you have to do is run the blade over a specifically designed rubber brush that functions by an electronic motor. The electric motor which clean and brushes 600times per second. The proprietary sanitizing liquid eliminates 99% of bacteria and viruses, according to the company, keeping the blade sanitized. This effectively reduces the annoying nicks, cuts and skin infections.

The Process

1) Apply sterilization abrasive liquid
2) Turn on the device, place the blade on the rotating rubber blades for 3 seconds
3) Rinse both razorblade and Razorbooster with tap water

If you want to see something cool go to the Indiegogo site and check out the blade before and after pictures. Those pictures tell the whole story.

How Do I Get This Product?

Right now get the Razorbooster cleaner and sharpener on Indiegogo for only $43. This is a early bird special only so get in on the ground floor before they are gone.

Conclusion

Lately on Cash Sherpa I’ve been connecting a lot of posts with the current pandemic. I know you probably have pandemic fatigue by now, but I think it’s changed the way I’ve looked at the world. I mean it really showed me how fragile society is and how we can’t take anything for granite, for example, we have to support artists/musicians (Many have been featured on this blog). In addition to supporting the things we love so that they stick around, it also makes me think about cleanliness. With the Razorbooster system you’ll not only ensure your blades are sterile, but extend the life of the blades sharpness. You won’t have to order online, waste as much packaging, go to the store, or spend as much money. You’ll always get your best shave with the Razorbooster, for these reasons consider supporting their Indiegogo today.
