Why Ezzai.com» 86 Million Arabic Speaking Internet Users

[Dec 2011]» Growth in Internet between 2000 – 2011 was 2,501.2 % for

the Arabic Language.

» Copyright © 2012, Miniwatts Marketing Group.

Why Ezzai.com» We hypothesized that most Arabs are online

using English as the main language due to the feasibility of finding what they are looking for.

» Since, there are many Arabic Speaking Internet Users, and very few Arabic websites that are highly frequented… We decided to provide the Arab nation with a unique website resembling eHow that is totally in Arabic and targets Arabs.

Our Value Proposition

»We offer the BIGGEST Arabic website of How-to!!!

»Learning is in your mother-tongue»A unique website, that is easily surfed to

make learning easy»Learn at your pace at your place»Website will offer a community feeling

as Arabs around the world can post their own articles/videos on how-to topics.

Our Customers!Larger Audience Discussion

» We have attended “World Entrepreneurship Day 2012” organized by SIFE in Bibliotheca Alexandria where we had the opportunity to discuss our idea with a larger audience.

» The second session in that event was about “Business Model”.At first, Ms.Rasha, Project manager at TIEC (Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center) asked the audience to suggest ideas to be used as an example in the lecture.

» A lot of the audience suggested their ideas as did we!

We introduced our idea which is to have a web app where people could find how anything in life could be done and the capability to add their knowledge also.The most important thing that it was all in Arabic not like any counterpart they might have seen before.

Our idea was the one voted for!
