We have track records so be sure of your own testimony.

Have you ever palyes the monopoly board game? Where you own location and make money from them as other players jump in you then charge them according to the worth of your property and development on the site.

That is exactly what Themap.online is all about.

The differences between TheMap.online and the monopoly board game are;

  1. TheMap is real locations programmed with Google maps as a local google and setup on your phone as against just having imaginary locations on the monopoly board game.
  2. TheMap makes you real money that is paid into your account as against monopoly money that is worthless in real life and limits to the monopoly board game.
  3. Smart phone users (almost everyone has a smart phone) will jump into your locations online or offline and you are paid for life.

Imagine you own and run various filling stations within and beyond your neighbourhood and TheMap helps you deliver fuel and other filling station products and services to people who find convenience in that delivery and you make jeje money in your bank account .

Like I mentioned earlier, you can own multiple. locations and make tons of money from them because now they are not monetized yet so be the first to monetize and dominate your neighbourhood and beyond; Restaurants, Filling stations, Schools, Filling stations, Churches, Shops/stores/Super markets, Hotspots, Roadside sellers, Hospitals/clinics/labs, Laundry dry cleaning, etc.
