What is Everyday Market?
"
Big things have small beginnings.
David in "Prometheus"
"

Remember the days of the corner store - one place where you could find everything you needed and be treated like you actually mattered?

We set out to bring that spirit into the digital age, creating a truly holistic experience for individuals and businesses.

Everyday Market (EDM) is a single platform where a comprehensive suite of products works together seamlessly - all designed to empower you and your business, connect you with others, and streamline your digital presence...

Our long-term vision is ambitious yet simple: to make EDM the world's best digital one-stop shop - a place where you can buy and sell goods & services ๐Ÿ›, hire talent or grow your career, boost your sales and marketing, connect and collaborate with others, enjoy prime-time entertainment, or even book your next trip - all within one ecosystem!

One-stop Shop?

Specialization is for Insects.
Robert A. Heinlein

  • 1:1: YouTube does videos. X does short messages. Airbnb is for renting. Ueber gets you from A to B. LinkedIn is for hiring. Salesforce for CRM. The Platform is the product. The product is the platform.
  • 1:n: This is what we do. One platform, many products๐ŸŒ€
C2C, B2C, B2B

We encompass it all - EDM's technology stack and processes are designed to adapt to any customer profile, market, use case, or business requirement. Think of EDM as a technology and business hub functioning as a business enabler ๐ŸฆŠ

One Platform, Many Products
"
The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)
"

EDM products sit atop the EDM platform - all products benefit from the same strong foundations in technology, marketing, sales, finance, compliance, and lifecycle management that the platform provides:

  • Technology: best-in-class scalability, performance, security, modularity, and reliability.
  • Sales & Marketing: sales/marketing tools and knowledge are seamlessly integrated, ensuring a cohesive approach for every product.
  • Finance & Compliance: financial activities such as audits, reports, and compliance are standardized, providing a comprehensive solution for every EDM product that sits on the platform.
  • Lifecycle: every product has a lifespan - from business idea to finalized good or service - including continuous improvement, maintenance, analytics, and sales & marketing activities. The platform provides the necessary tools and infrastructure to support the entire lifecycle of any EDM product.
  • Partnerships: we can partner and collaborate quickly and efficiently, leveraging strengths while circumventing weaknesses and risks.
  • Communication: we'll use our communication channels to drive product development & maintenance, as well as customer support ๐Ÿ’ฌ
  • Context: every product needs a social, environmental, economic, legal, geographical, financial, and technological context of some sort - our platform provides that as well - a streamlined box ๐Ÿ“ฆ around the actual EDM product.
Pricing
"
Lack of money is no obstacle. Lack of choice and ideas is.
Ken Hakuta
"

One platform, many products means we have to support multiple pricing models - from flat fee, tiered, per-user, and usage-based, to volume-based, freemium, per-feature, credit-based, time-based, performance-based, dynamic, hybrid, lifetime, revenue-share, and even custom enterprise pricing - giving us full flexibility to match any product or business scenario imaginable.

Of course, nothing out there was able to cater to our vision of a one-stop shop with this many pricing models, plus we don't like off-the-shelf solutions because they create vendor lock-in, so naturally, we decided to roll our own... It's a one-of-a-kind, custom-stacked subscription model with three tiers - Basic / Plus / Ultimate - at its core and a steadily growing suite of EDM products sitting on top of those three tiers ๐Ÿ’ช

Using our custom-built Subscription Configurator you create the subscription that fits you like a tailor-made glove ๐Ÿงค There are currently north of 684 variants possible - and counting - growing with every new EDM product we add. It's fucking nuts ๐Ÿคช People love it!

Payments - Flexibility and Security

Security is one of our prime concerns - always was, always will be. That said, we accept all major credit cards ๐Ÿ’ณ from almost all countries, depending on international laws and regulations.

You can cancel, upgrade, or downgrade your subscription at any time ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ No hidden fees, no shady crap, zero strings attached... ๐Ÿ“† You can choose between monthly, quarterly, and yearly.

Our pricing model is much more flexible than what you'll find with most other businesses - think of it like a car configurator - you can literally configure your subscription in many different ways to suit you or your business however you want. Have a look at your EDM Dashboard after you've signed up and created an account on EDM.

Our DNA
"
Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes time. Vision with action can change the world.
Joel Barker
"

We mimic nature - we build things that are resilient, adaptable, efficient, and simply best-in-class. The proof is in the results we produce:

  • Quality & Cost: Like nature, we aim for the optimum - delivering better quality at a lower cost.
  • Comfort: Life is hard enough as it is. Ask nature - comfort and convenience matter. Our approach reduces friction and makes interactions smoother.
  • Efficiency: Nature knows no waste. We help businesses and individuals avoid wasting money, time, and energy so they can focus on what truly matters.
  • Speed of Innovation: If you want to get ahead, speed matters. We build a top-notch, modular foundation that we reuse for every product. Not starting from scratch each time allows us to engineer great products and iterate quickly - bringing new ideas to life faster while minimizing risk and continuously improving user satisfaction.
  • Platform: Our founder is crazy, but in a good way - the foundations he built are truly unique - you'd have to be a seasoned dev to understand...
  • Technological Edge: Scalability, maintainability, security, quality, and performance - all contribute to a reliable, innovative, and future-proof platform. Every aspect of EDM is modular, allowing us to swap or migrate components easily if needed. Such flexibility is rare in the industry.
  • Risk Mitigation: Evolution requires control - only then does progress become possible. On a smaller scale, we control 100% of our platform and operate with almost zero third-party dependencies. Those we do have are multi-source and multi-layer redundant setups. In our EDM universe, we've ensured that we are the natural force of evolution.
  • Growth: Most humans get this wrong - nature's first principle isn't growth, it's survival of the fittest. We love what we do. We're committed to continuous improvement and adapting to change - and that's why we grow.
  • Team: Our global team is our greatest asset - quality before quantity. Only the best can join. Our founder and most of the core team are hardcore engineers. Their opinion matters - nature dictates it!
Security
"
The people's good is the highest law.
Cicero
"

YES!! We're nerds by nature so...๐Ÿค“

Making EDM easy, comfortable, private, and fast for honest users of course means we have to excel in terms of security, so that automated bots, script kiddies, fraudsters & cybercrime stand no chance... ๐Ÿค 

Privacy
"
Privacy is like oxygen. You do not normally pay attention but when it is gone, the problem is immediate and real.
Eric J. Sinrod
"

We're 100% ๐Ÿฝn๐Ÿฝl about data privacy i.e. we will never share any information with anybody about you or your business!!

Our business model simply isn't to monetize on your data but rather grow EDM for all of us, with honest intentions and transparent goals... let's not digress though... ๐Ÿ˜†

In fact, data privacy was one of several core drivers why EDM was started, as we were disgusted by how people's data and therefore trust and freedom is often violated on the Internet.

  • Zero: We have areas on EDM where we give you 100% features and 100% access without asking any information from you whatsoever, not even your name or email... meaning you don't even have to sign up and create an account on EDM to use those areas, you just provide a temporary nickname, and you're off to the races... everything still secure ๐Ÿ’ก Our status page is one such example...
  • Email, Displayname & Avatar: A temporary nickname can only go so far however...๐Ÿ˜Š Two bits of information that help us provide even better security, technology, speed as well as comfort, and, which make the social discourse on EDM much better, are your email address and an EDM displayname.

    The EDM displayname is displayed to other EDM users e.g. in a chat conversation, or to a future business partner so one can relate to your online identity. It can be your real-life name or your company name, but it doesn't have to be, a nickname is just fine as well...

    Contrary to a temporary nickname, the EDM displayname is yours forever, meaning your super-cool but temporary nickname Superduck is not taken by another temporary user once you leave EDM for today... because that would be horrible yes?! ๐Ÿคฃ

    No worries, use the Sign In so Superduck is yours forever and ever! ๐Ÿ˜‹

    Second to your EDM displayname you should have a face on EDM so others can recognize you even better ๐Ÿค– Below we went ahead and created your very own and unique avatar for you, which you can always change from within your EDM Dashboard after you signed up and created a permanent account on EDM.

    Same thing as for your EDM displayname is true for your avatar: you can keep our randomly created EDM avatar, or, you can upload another one from within your Dashboard... a real picture of you, your company logo, your pet squirrel... entirely up to you or your business!

    user avatar

  • Mandatory: Everything else we'll only ask for when there's a requirement for it like: a legal requirement, a shipping address when there's a good to be shipped, payment details when you're about to pay somebody or when you're about to receive payment for a good or service of yours, etc.
Roadmap
"
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Lao Tzu
"

Our Products are just the tip of the EDM iceberg that is visible to users. The "below the waterline stuff" took almost three years to build. It includes top-notch security, speed, the invention of new design patterns, custom algorithms, revelations in UX & UI design, fraud prevention, reliability, payments stack, etc. etc... a lot more than other platforms - but then EDM is built to scale and has a self-healing architecture at its core. There are little to no vendor lock-ins either... we digress...

The time invested initially is going to pay off in the long run - launching new EDM products, each with a solid foundation, is now going to be much faster and will consistently yield high-quality products. For every new product, we can leverage our existing infrastructure, software libraries, and customer-centric processes. With all that said, the next iteration on the EDM roadmap will roughly look like this:

  • Globe & Jobs: We opened shop with Globe and Jobs. The heavy lifting on those is done - they will, however, get constant updates and improvements going forward.
  • Investing & Marketing & Sales: from AI-driven investment intelligence, to automated inbound and outbound marketing, to fully automated sales. Our technology and people setup allow us to build the best-in-class vertical just by integrating those markets into one streamlined solution. This one, too, complements the EDM ecosystem.
  • Collaboration & Social: a social network with multimedia and collaboration features will be next. Social complements the existing EDM ecosystem because it fosters community engagement and business collaboration - when people talk, good stuff happens...

Once we establish a good foothold with this basic set of products, we're pretty open-minded about where to go next... a better YouTube? Marketplace for goods & services? AirBnB for the fancy bunch? Time will tell...

Artificial Intelligence

AI is no silver bullet. Look at all the reports coming out of businesses backpedaling because they went too far too quickly... Use it where it makes sense - the human ๐Ÿง  still dominates. Even in 2026, with the rise of Artificial Intelligence, if you hear stories of businesses and services created in not just days, but literally hours... that's nonsense, fairy tales, marketing parlance! At a certain size and complexity of any endeavor, you need humans. Don't believe the Musks, Zuckerbergs, and Altmans of this world - they suffer from the YES-man syndrome and have thus left reality a long time ago...

That said, we are using it where it makes sense - we make informed decisions - we're constantly exploring ways to integrate AI into the EDM platform, our workflows and processes, as well as EDM products - if it makes sense, that is.

The point is, only experienced humans have the wisdom to know where and when to use AI, how to integrate and layer it, and at what pace. If you go down the rabbit hole without that experience, you might find yourself in a world of hurt - which will impact your business and thus your bottom line, big time!
