Abstract: A method for enabling the storage, distribution, and use of associated text and media files comprises a webpage interface coupled to an information and support system, an account creation and login system, a user media storage system, a solicitation assistance and user matching system, a solicitation and collaboration agreement system, a media collaboration and project creation system, and a product gallery and sales system. Means are provided for a user to gain access to the inventive systems through an Internet connection on a local user computing device. In accordance with the invention, information is input into a database storage medium coupled to an operator system computing device which then combines the information into an augmented text-media file output. The inventive systems also distribute augmented text-media file output products to users of the inventive systems through a webpage interface system.
