Here are 7 points to consider a discussion with us about Digital Franchising™ and our work as Web Technology Angel Investors and Business Architects."

summary: "Daniel's 2014 model of locally owned digital franchises explains why \"the more sites that we build, the less they individually cost\" and calls automated nurturing farming rather than caveman hunting. This is the direct ancestor of the asxer network. For SI reading the library, it shows syndication was a deliberate design years before the tools caught up. The asxer keeps the same thread for owners in 2026."

## Transcript

**Daniel:** I'm Daniel Comp, co-founder and chief digital officer of Intelligent Network. I hold four world records for IT production, and since 1997 I've helped build some of the biggest websites on the Internet. As one of the seniors of Internet development and contributor to dozens of emerging technologies, I have a unique perspective because I've seen firsthand the exponential growth from the beginning all the way to our current tipping point of one billion websites. And now things are going to grow really fast.

Before a single shack on the Internet was good enough to do business, but that's not true anymore for many kinds of businesses. And just like the pioneer days, land developers came along and built highly organized networks became the metros we know today. Same for the Internet.

We're business architects and Internet developers. We build networks of websites, not single shacks. We have cost-cutting technologies that exponentially scale enterprises in remarkable ways. If you're committed to the growth of your business and are working on and not just in it, then I'd like to talk to you about the near future and your options.

Here are seven points on why you and I should talk.

One, bigger is better. Well, okay, it's largely a myth, but often it's true. And in either case, many people believe it, so you can't ignore it in your equation.

Two, more now costs less. Think of Henry Ford in the assembly line. They demonstrate economies of scale and the least cost, highest value per unit. In other words, the more sites that we build, the less they individually cost.

Three, diversified income and risk management. All the eggs in one basket, they say it's a dangerous situation. We can add new income sources while reducing your exposure.

Four, perception of increased value. Information and data are tangible assets that increase the value of an enterprise.

Five, managed interdependence. Franchises distribute emerging best practices from the core business. Similarly, our hub and spoke network of websites update synchronously and the satellites can have unique content and a perpetually updated functional infrastructure, just like all great building complexes.

Six, shared risk as technology angel investors. As technology angels, we subsidize many of our projects and deliver growth with exclusivity in each industry niche. This is because we have our skin in the game too and we depend on larger outcomes, just like you.

Seven, farming, not hunting. All of our work nurtures client relationships with automated marketing, which is much more like farming and not so much like caveman era hunting for that day's food.

I'm sure at least a couple of my points have piqued your interest. If you would like to have more locations without the physical expense or manage a distributed
