Zippi Networks, Inc. (Pink Sheets: ZIPI)
September 29th, 2008.

 
 Zippi Networks, Inc., (Pink Sheets: ZIPI)

Dear Reader,

Amid a chorus of morbid economic news uttered this week by President Bush and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, many Americans are concerned about the immediate impact upon their personal pocketbooks. A cloud of foreclosures, unemployment and inflation all surround individuals throughout their daily lives. It is undeniable that most Americans are facing serious changes now if they haven’t already.

Despite this, some businesses find that the economic malaise has created a greater need for their technology and services. One such company, Zippi Networks, Inc. (OTC.PK: ZIPI), may well find itself in the right place at the right time as they assist individuals in successfully selling items on eBay, creating a revenue stream for their customers and the company. With recession driven “yard sales” going online to an international market through the massive eBay venue, Zippi’s stated mission to make eBay selling easier and more profitable gives consumers a turn-key way to get clutter out and cash in.

Factor in that recent wholesale changes on eBay.com make successful selling a more cerebral proposition where “Detailed Seller Ratings” and “Search Standing” greatly impact a seller’s success in eBay’s vast and competitive marketplace. Borrowing the collective knowledge of Zippi’s veteran sellers steeped in these changes could greatly impact the values realized in eBay auction and fixed price format listings. 

Zippi also seems to have crafted a business plan ever-mindful of previous eBay consignors’ mistakes by going to the consumer and picking-up the goods as well as using a pricing predictor to better prepare the consumer and set prices. Utilizing a pick-up process versus forcing the consumer to lug their goods to a drop-off store should greatly enhance Zippi’s inventory and commissions of these sales.

The confluence of eBay’s changes and a struggling economy may well have set the table of opportunity for Zippi, giving the company a wide berth in which to capture market share. Ironically, it may soon prove to be the market’s broader troubles that smoothes the path for this emerging Internet company.

    About Zippi Networks


S I M P L E

Zippi Networks Inc., (Pink Sheets:ZIPI) is headquartered in San Jose, California and has created a revolutionary business process that empowers a new generation of online sellers to accumulate and sell unique products, turning each and every sale into a commissionable opportunity.

Founded in 2006, Zippi promises to re-engage consumers in the online auction market by addressing the shrinking margins and competition that Zippi management considers as currently threatening the existence of the eBay seller community. Zippi Networks simplifies a typically complex process by providing ease into the online auction selling system. 

What are you ever going to do with all that stuff you just don’t want anymore? 

Clutter Out. Cash In.

In the average consumer’s home sits a purchase value of more than $2,200 in unused household items. Plus, more than 200 million people are looking for items they can purchase on eBay. Zippi connects these items with the shoppers who want them and gives you a way to turn your unused clutter into cash (without the hassle of a yard sale). 

Those who wish to sell merchandise, especially the clutter most people have stored, can call a Zippi affiliate and they will pick up the merchandise for listing on eBay. When the item sells, the seller receives a check and the affiliate receives a commission.

Zippi has created a revolutionary business process together with the ease of hand-held mobile technology, social networking, and the ability to recycle that empowers a new generation of online sellers. Zippi promises to engage consumers with an easy toll free telephone number designed to allow everyone an easy hassle free way of selling items online; by phoning 1-877-GO-ZIPPI, an item owner can receive a quick "mini appraisal" through the "Ask Zippi" appraisal system. Zippi connects this appraisal with the appropriate Zipster (eBay seller) which handles the entire transaction.

eBAY

The strength of the eBay community resides in eBay's very own message "the power of all of us."

Zippi embraces the power of many, allowing each "Zipster" to build teams on eBay with Zippi TeamBuilder(TM) allowing a Zipster to scale earnings and eliminate competition by building team members, which has never been allowed within the eBay community, until now with Zippi!

Check your closet, garage, storage facility, attic, basement, and office for unique items with a sale value of $50 or more.
Just dial our number and we’ll help you determine what you can sell, and arrange for a Zippi representative to pick it up.
1-877-GoZippi 
Free Yourself !
Just sit back, relax, and get ready to collect the CASH! Zippi will send you a check just within a few weeks of selling your item.

Zippi takes care of all the details.

First, Zippi makes sure your item is priced right to obtain the highest profit possible. Zippi has handled thousands of auctions, and we know how to price in the sweet spot. Next, Zippi photographs your item professionally, writes the listing, and fields all the questions during the auction. Once your item sells, Zippi handles the packing and shipping (one of the most time-consuming parts of the whole deal).
Then Zippi writes you a check! 

AN EXAMPLE 

Let’s say you sell just one item through Zippi, and it brings in $100. Because you’re the item owner, you get the biggest chunk of the profit—65%, which in this scenario would be $65 less PayPal fees (usually a couple of dollars). Zippi will use the remaining 35% for the Affiliate’s commission, shipping and handling, and shared revenue. 

The more you sell, the bigger your cut.

Bump that profit up to $500, and you get 70%,
at $1000, it’s 75%, and so on, all the way up to 92%!

    The Market for Zippi

Since they began in 1995, Internet auctions have become perhaps the hottest phenomenon on the Web. They offer buyers a “virtual” flea market from which to choose an endless array of merchandise from around the world, and they provide sellers a worldwide storefront from which to market their goods. It is generally thought that a third of internet retail visits are to auction sites. According to the Pew Internet & American Life Project, the number of people who participate in an online auction is nearly 27% of all people online, the same percentage of people who download music online

While the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has some stats, they are generally dated, but an FTC roundtable noted that Google's auction business has about 30 billion keyword auctions per year and is growing at 26% per year. Most people who complain to the FTC about Internet auction fraud report problems with buyers and sellers who:

  • fail to send the merchandise
  • send something of lesser value than advertised
  • fail to deliver in a timely manner
  • fail to disclose all relevant information about a product or terms of the sale.

Zippi’s Hand Held Device

ZIPPI is nationally recognized as one of the fastest growing,
most innovative eBay businesses in the world.

Zippi has introduced the online sales industry’s first handheld computing and sales device that centralizes information, photos, communications and even bar-code input for all online sellers. With the Zippi hand-held device the Affiliate can achieve freedom, mobility, and the ease of picturing, pricing, and posting an auction, from the palm of their hand. The handheld device, produced through Zippi’s partnership with Motorola, provides a variety of features to give each Affiliate a distinct competitive advantage in the online seller and auction communities. The latest smart phone and remote email capabilities allow affiliates to receive and service leads from anywhere. A two-megapixel digital camera and wireless Internet connection make it simple to get items up for online auction as quickly as possible. An application that permits the digital exchange of signatures further eases sale completion.


PATENTS

Zippi has three Patents Pending with US Patent Office.
Here is a brief summary of each patent that has been filed: 

Patent # 1 – The first patent filed for Zippi Networks, Inc. protects the Network Marketing or Team Building aspect of Zippi’s business model. Basically any supervisor and sub relationship whereby commissions for online sales are split, is covered by this application. 

Patent # 2 – The second patent filed for Zippi Networks, Inc protects Zippi’s Hand Held Device and the ability for any hand held device to upload products to a website for sale. 

Patent # 3 – The third patent filed for Zippi Networks, Inc. protects Zippi’s Drop off Station concept, whereby kiosks can collect merchandise that is dropped off by consumers.

Zippi management believes these three patents protect the unique aspects of the Zippi business model and provide a barrier to
entry for any other company looking to join this market.

Company Projects Target of $4 Million 2009 Revenues and $13 Million 2010 Revenues

SAN JOSE, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 24, 2008 -- Zippi Networks Inc. (Other OTC:ZIPI.PK - News), turning America's "Clutter into Cash," today announced that the Company is now approaching five hundred thousand dollars in total revenues.

Furthermore, Zippi's monthly recurring revenues are showing the traction needed to ramp marketing efforts, expand new channels, and build towards a cash flow positive goal for Q2 2009.

The company is currently realizing 100% month over month increases in revenue from July to August of this year, with all signs showing this continued growth through September as well. Zippi is also excited about the timing of our relationship with the Southridge Investment Group LLC, their expertise and track record bring great efficiencies to our near term commitment in achieving a growth round of capital, this capital raise will allow the company to effectively build current revenues to a projected target of four million ($4,000,000) in total revenue for fiscal year end June 30, 2009, growing to thirteen million ($13,000,000) in revenue for fiscal year end June 30, 2010," said Robert A.

Zippi's Founders Financially Committed
as Capital Has Been Deployed to Further Planned Business Growth

SAN JOSE, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 17, 2008 -- Zippi Networks Inc. (Other OTC:ZIPI.PK - News), the "new way" to eBay, announced today that the Company is showing month-over-month growth of its Zipster network through its current radio marketing campaign; from 31 Zipster registrations in June, increasing to 210 in July, and 333 in August, with current numbers at this halfway point in September being 221, all of which add to Zippi's monthly recurring subscriber base paying $9.95, $49.95, up to $99.95 monthly.

This initial surge of growth coming out of launch can be attributed to the previous completion of a secured line of credit with Heritage Bank of Commerce, (Silicon Valley, CA) on May 16, 2008 and July 24, 2008.

This SBA Line totaled one million two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($1,250,000) in additional capital, of which seven hundred and fifty thousand ($750K) was personally secured and guaranteed by the company's founders.

Zippi in total has completed over six million, five hundred thousand dollars ($6,500,000) in debt and equity financing completed through private friends and family (also including the founders) offerings since the company's inception in early 2006.

"Strong commitments by management and staff along with capital investments have established a solid foundation for Zippi on several fronts, allowing the company to officially launch to a target eBay audience at the 2008 eBay Live convention on June 21, 2008, and continue to pursue additional financing opportunities while steadily moving forward with Zippi's growth strategy," said Robert A. Rositano Jr., Zippi's CEO.

"Our goal of securing additional financing will allow Zippi to significantly increase marketing efforts and decrease future equity dilution so that our shareholders can receive the benefit of revenue growth in the company; this growth should further be the catalyst for increased market valuation for Zippi as we are committed to another round of dot com success," Rositano continued.MORE

Zippi Continues Growth Strategy by Encouraging Consumers to Clear Out Closets, Garages, and Storage Lockers to Pocket Cash as Reward

Out of the Closet -- Turn Clutter Into Cash for the Holidays! 

SAN JOSE, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 11, 2008 -- Zippi Networks Inc. (Other OTC:ZIPI.PK - News), the "new way" to eBay, today announced several new marketing initiatives designed to encourage consumers to lighten up for the holidays. For anyone who's saving old clothing, shoes, handbags, that size-six little black dress, or that tuxedo they once wore to prom, just because they know they'll fit into it again someday -- "get real." Why keep it, when you can turn it to cash letting Zippi do all the work?

"While we certainly don't want to discourage people from hanging on to a few cherished keepsakes, the statistics clearly show that most people ultimately end up giving away or throwing out the stuff in the back of the closet," said Zippi CEO Robert A. Rositano, Jr.

"With the Holidays quickly upon us and these economic times promoting a shift to recycled goods, now's the time to turn unused items to cash. Zippi's patent pending process offers a hassle free way to cash in on these items, while at the same time bringing back the entrepreneurial spirit by offering the opportunity to build a very lucrative business with Zippi," said Rositano.

     Robert Rositano, Jr, Zippi Networks CEO

CEO Robert A. Rositano, Jr. is a co-founder of “Latitude Venture Partners, LLC” and has over 15 years experience in high technology ventures. Mr. Rositano has successfully raised over $50,000,000 in both private and public transactions and was most recently the co-founder and CEO of an Aspiring Artist Community and website. 

This community was designed and launched in the vein of American Idol and the growing attraction to reality based TV programming, and was named “America's Biggest, Inc.” This was an online venue where America's next Biggest Star (BAND, SOLO ARTIST, COMEDIAN, etc.) could be discovered during competition for cash and prizes. America's Biggest, Inc. began marketing in early 2005 and shortly thereafter entered into an agreement to be acquired by another publicly traded company, becoming part of a Internet Broadcast and online entertainment company. 

Prior to developing America's Biggest, Inc., Mr. Rositano was the co-founder and CEO of a Silicon Valley internet company, nettaxi.com (a portal and web community). Founded in 1997, nettaxi.com became a publicly traded company in Sept. of 1998, nettaxi achieved a ranking among the top 10 community web sites on the internet, with a stock price of $34 per share and a $700,000,000 market capitalization. As the dot com boom began a downturn, Mr. Rositano and senior management successfully preserved over $7,500,000 in capital, and completed a successful merger with another high tech Silicon Valley company in April 2002. 

Mr. Rositano has proven to be instrumental in establishing capital raising relationships with venture capital firms, financial and lending institutions, as well as high net worth individuals. In his professional capacity, he has developed strategic partner relationships with (among others) AT&T, Apple Computer, MacMillan Publishing, Hartley Publishers, Jostens Learning Center, Earthlink, and 3COM Corporation.

In 1995, Mr. Rositano co-founded Simply Interactive, Inc. and served as the company's Executive Vice President through 1997 in the areas of imarketing, sales, and product development. Mr. Rositano's focus was interactivity and the development of the Internet the City CD-ROM, an innovative “next-generation” collection of internet, browsing and learning tools. The Internet the City collection received numerous reviews and won the nationally recognized “Joey” Award for best interactive CD-ROM. The development and application of proprietary technology tools that drive the ongoing evolution of the internet propelled the compelling CD-ROM, and allowed it to connect with an online version.

In 1995, Mr. Rositano co-authored one of the first World Wide Web directories to help internet surfers find their way around the Web. The book was designed and positioned to begin integrating advertising partners into the directory, and the rights in the directory were sold to MacMillan Computer Publishing (QUE). The book became a national best seller in its second edition and was marketed under the name Que's Mega Web Directory.

In 1994, Mr. Rositano co-founded a new company targeting beginner level internet users. He co-produced, raised initial seed capital, and directed and launched the first Internet training video “Introduction to the Internet” soon after another derivative product “Internet Made Simple.” Mr. Rositano also established marketing relationships to create further brand recognition through an extensive national representative network, retail distribution outlets, and direct response television promotions with Colorado-based Jones Cable Television and various forms of partner agreements.

In 1992, he was employed by Netcom On-line Communications, Inc. as the senior sales and account manager, making him number three on the employee roster. During his tenure, revenues increased 384.8%, from $1,479,900 for the nine months ended September 30, 1992, to $7,174,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 1993.

    Financial Highlights For Zippi


Zippi, for all practical purposes, began trading on September 11, 2008.


An Example of Positive Technical Indicators

The 20 day average volume on the stock was only 5,000 shares and the price was seemingly fixed between .07 and .13 and then the uptrend began. 

Over 12 trading sessions, ZIPI moved over 150% to a high of .32, and has consolidated nicely over the last 3 trading session as it is looking very bullish going forward.  Please take note that all this has occurred while the broader markets have been in turmoil, which included a 504 point loss on the Dow. 

Technical indicators on Zippi have moved up steadily. The Money Flow Index (MFI) has turned sharply positive as has the On Balance Volume (OBV) curve. A look at the MACD analysis on the stock indicates increasing upward momentum for the stock with a very significant crossover of the zero line. 

All of these indicators point to accumulation by investors and an increasing interest within the marketplace as the word gets around that Zippi is trading.


TRADING SYMBOL: PINK SHEETS: ZIPI
Business Stage: Development Stage Company 

Top 4 Investment Highlights

#1.Stock is Being Accumulated and is Continuing to Move Up
This is certainly one of the bright spots in this market.  With virtually every other major index bathing in a sea of red, Zippi is showing strength as it continues its march upward in both price and volume.  It appears to be grabbing the attention of investors and could generate much wider appeal as word on the street spreads about the accumulation of its shares. 

#2.Company Has Financial Strength and Seeking Increased Market Valuation
Zippi recently announced that its initial surge of growth can be attributed to the previous completion of a secured line of credit with Heritage Bank of Commerce for $1.25 million.  The Company has also completed over six million five hundred thousand dollars ($6,500,000) in debt and equity financing.  According to the Company, this financing will allow Zippi to “significantly increase marketing efforts and decrease future equity dilution so that our shareholders can receive the benefit of revenue growth in the company.”

#3.Proprietary Technology with 3 Patents Pending
Zippi is nationally recognized as one of the fastest growing, most innovative eBay businesses in the world.  Zippi has created a revolutionary business process that, with the use of a patent pending hand-held mobile technology device, allows an individual to post items on eBay immediately!  This device has a built in mini-appraisal system which provides affiliates with the ability to picture and post items online, from anywhere at anytime. 

#4.Experienced Management with Proven Track Record of Success
The CEO and President together have successfully raised over $50,000,000 in both private and public transactions as well as became the authors of a BEST SELLING Web Directory they sold to Mac Millen (QUE) Publishing in mid ''90s. Continuing the dot com trend, they were the co-founders of a Silicon Valley internet company, nettaxi.com, which achieved a ranking among the top 10 web sites on the internet, generated 2,000,000 - 3,000,000 unique visitors daily, and achieved a stock price of thirty four dollars ($34) per share combined with a seven hundred million dollar ($700,000,000) market capitalization.
