While the formal business plan for Storymakers is a work in progress, I’ve recently developed a diagram that I hope will make our model a little clearer.

Combining sustainable business with social good

I have discovered that a very difficult part of social entrepreneurship is communicating about your double bottom line (fiscal returns and social returns). While I think this gets all the essential points across, I hope this model will be a starting place for further refinement of our message.

The astute techie will notice similarities to other open-source web hosting projects like Omeka and WordPress.

What do you think?

  1. Wow that was odd. I just wrote an incredibly long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Regardless, just wanted to say superb blog!

  2. Hey there! This post could not be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this post to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!

    I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
