How MyGlob
Grows Itself
We don't buy users. We build systems where every user action naturally invites the next one. It's not just a community; it's a self-sustaining ecosystem.
1. Relocation Playlists
The 'Spotify' of Moving. A step-by-step guide for every city.
Why it works:
Moving is chaotic. We turn that chaos into a simple, gamified playlist. Instead of reading boring articles, users "subscribe" to a playlist like "First Month in Berlin" and check off items one by one.
Actionable Steps
"Get NIF Number", "Find a Flat", "Join a Gym" linked to providers.
Inherently Shareable
Users share their progress: "Just completed 'Visa Setup' on MyGlob!"
The Bali Nomad Setup
12 Steps • 458 Followers
2. The Gravity System 🪐
You don't search for communities. They find you.
Orbits are calculated automatically during onboarding.
Instantly Connected.
New users don't start with an empty feed. Our Gravity Engine assigns them to 3-5 core communities instantly based on their unique profile.
1. The City Hub
Every user is automatically anchored to their current city's main hub.
2. Interest Orbit
"You like Surfing? You're now in the 'Canggu Surf' group." Zero clicks required.
3. Smart Suggestions
Over time, AI suggests new hubs: "Because you looked at vegan food..."
3. A Managed Ecosystem 🛡️
Not just random groups. A structured hierarchy ensuring quality and trust.
Official Hubs
Large-scale, permanent staples of the city. Managed by verified Ambassadors.
- Pre-seeded for every city (Housing, Jobs)
- Requires Ambassador Approval to join/post
- Focus on long-term value & guides
Private Tribes
Small, temporary, or niche groups created by Users.
- Events, Trips, Niche Interests (max ~20)
- Invite-Only or Request-to-Join
- Can expire automatically (e.g. Weekend Trip)
Ambassador Governance
High-level communities aren't chaos. Join requests for sensitive hubs go to City Ambassadors who review profiles to ensure safety and relevance. Top contributors can earn Ambassador status, unlocking moderation tools and revenue sharing.
4. The Self-Feeding Loop
How one user's journey creates the path for the next user.
User Needs Housing
User searches for an apartment in Lisbon.
System Suggests Community
"Found a flat? Join the Lisbon Expats group to find utilities & wifi."
Content Becomes SEO
User asks "Best Wifi?". This Question becomes a Google Search Result for new users.
5. Engagement Power-Ups
These mechanics turn casual visitors into daily active community members.
Persona Engine
Users evolve into Newcomer, Explorer, Helper, orLocal Expert based on their activity.
Identity creates attachment. Attachment creates retention.
XP & Levels
Commenting, posting, helping, and completing missions grant XP. Users unlock badges, spotlight placement & exclusive playlists.
Level 6 • “Neighborhood Navigator”
Streaks
Logging in, helping others, or completing missions builds streaks. Break your streak? You lose multiplier bonuses.
“You've helped your city for 5 days in a row!”
6. Trusted Services Marketplace
Community-verified housing, coworking, and healthcare. No more scams.
Verified Housing
Direct integration with platforms like Uniplaces. We flag "verified" listings based on actual community feedback and site visits.
Nomad Coworking
Real-time desk availability at spots like Heden. Book meeting rooms or day passes directly from your feed.
Local Perks
Exclusive deals for nomads based on location. E.g., 50% off at Honorato Burgers when you're nearby.
