Everyone Into the Pool! — How Matchpool Benefits College Students

Use-Case Study #002 — Matchpool’s Community-Driven Platform offers university students a whole new way to connect

Overview

Matchpool’s unique ecosystem paves the way for communities of all kinds to come together through meeting and connecting with one another. Matchpool offers the perfect platform for students and young people, and many different attractions for college students in particular. Matchpool’s pool system, which can be utilized as a monetization portal, is a useful tool for students to make some extra cash for the weekends. Matchpool’s matchmaking economy opens students up to being anything from their own student advisers to General Managers organizing their own campus sports leagues!

Turn Matchmaking into a Business

So many college students are either broke or about to be broke, and are always looking for creative ways to cover the rent, food, and beer! Matchpool offers students a way to monetize their talents in three unique ways.

Pay Walls. Pool owners can decide whether or not to implement pay walls, which require anyone interested in joining a particular pool to pay a fee in order to become a member. This adds an exclusive-feeling to the pool, and pool owners can leverage their clout and knowledge about the niche of the pool to generate income for themselves. A student may utilize this system to create an exclusive group that allows special access to talented tutors or prominent fraternities or sororities. Success Fees. A match isn’t a match until it’s a match. Pool owners can set a price-per-match, and receive a monetary reward for each successful match they facilitate. This could have a wide range of application for students. Pool owners could match students with classes they think the user should take, or intramural sports teams they they think would be a good fit, and even match students with tutors. Subscription. The third and most interesting monetization use-case is a subscription model for pools. Through the implementation of a subscription-based service, universities and colleges could begin to create and deploy classes directly onto the Matchpool platform where monetization could be handled by the platform.

Connecting the Community

Universities and colleges are heavily focused on building communities of students, professors, and faculty members. Matchpool complements the college experience in ways that other social platforms cannot, as Matchpool aims to boost connectivity within communities of like-minded people. Through the implementation of interest-centric pools, user-determined matchmaking, and reputation scores, Matchpool boasts a suite of activities and social tools to connect users across several dimensions. With the recent release of Matchpool’s iOS App, students on campuses across the world can put the power of matchmaking in their pocket and take their pools with them anywhere they go.

Conclusion

Matchpool, unlike most other social platforms, offers students and young people a variety of tools. Through the implementation of the Ethereum blockchain, privacy-conscious young people no longer need to battle with the cloud of having their data being harvested and can enjoy a decentralized social experience for the first time. From monetization to connectivity, Matchpool is the perfect platform for you and your dorm mates!
