Give the Advertising Budget to your Fans and Friends

Category: Artists promotion, Bands promotion, Event Promotion, P2P Peer to Peer Marketing, Peer Referral Network, Success stories Tags: , , , , , , , , , Leave a Comment

Imagine you have a $1000 budget to promote your website, your shop on etsy, or to launch new product. How will you spend this money?
⁃    Buy clicks on Google Adwords?
⁃    Buy traffic from Stumbleupon? clicks from Reddit?
⁃    Try Facebook Ads?
⁃    Buy banner display on some blogs or affiliate networks?

Whatever your decision, now ask yourself, when you’re looking for an event to go to, a product to buy, or a non-profit to support, do you pay attention to advertising or do you listen to what your friends recommend?
If your answer is, “I listen more to my friends and direct contacts”, then welcome to a New land of opportunity to reach more people and spread the word out about your events, products, and business faster, and more effectively.

How it works?  
Advertisers post their advertisements, then deposit a tip (a sum of money) for their fans, followers and contacts to spread their message out. At the end of the campaign, the tip is split between the people who spread the advertiser’s message.

Now, meet Ella. Ella is a marketer in New York. She has an event to promote, and needs to make sure that she fills up the seats or maximizes visitors. After she has sent her tweets, Facebook status updates and emailed her friends and business contacts, she still can’t seem to fill up the seats.

Ella was running out of time, when a friend told her about Goodbuzz. Ella posted her event on Goodbuzz; offered $500 tips to people to help her spread the message.

The results were instant. Hundreds of people visited the event page and spread her message to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and by email. In less than 48hours, her event sold out. Ella is Happy!

It worked, because nowadays 75% of people discover new things because another person has shared them with them.

Francis is one of the people who helped Ella. At the end of the campaign, Francis received eight dollars and fifty cents for the leads generated for Ella.

Goodbuzz is a new way of doing advertising by giving the advertising budget to your friends, fans and followers to advertise your event or business.

The advertising money go the people, not the middleman.

When traditional methods have failed you, give GoodBuzz a try. It is easy to use, safe for brands, affordable, and delivers better marketing results faster.

Ask people to help you spread your message

Meet Ella. Ella is a marketer in New York. She has an event to promote, and needs to make sure that she fills up the seats or maximizes visitors. After she has sent her tweets, Facebook status updates and emailed her friends and business contacts, she still can’t seem to fill up the seats.

Often, event organizers’ campaigns are limited by the number of people they could reach directly through their mailing list, twitter followers, facebook friends, etc. Otherwise they have to spend money in advertising trying to reach their indirect contacts.

Unfortunately, advertising doesn’t work very well for events, because when it comes to event promotion, the event producer is the less influential in people decision to attend. In reality, it’s the event endorsers who has the power and the ability to draw the biggest part of the attendees. The more endorsers you can mobilize for your event promotion, the faster you’ll reach your target audience. Endorsers are the backbone of any successful event promotion.

But, how could Ella get hundreds of endorsers for here event now?
Ella doesn’t have a big rolodex, and no direct connection to influential bloggers and journalists. Furthermore, all other promotional actions require a lot of time to be effective.

Why people share, what they share, when and how much?

Category: Beginners Guide, Peer Referral Network, Social Medias Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a Comment

  • Sharing is Big, it’s the second largest activity on the web, and the most widespread social behavior

  • Sharing is now bigger and more powerful than friends, followers, connections, and is poised to take over search in the next years.

Facebook now accounts for 8.93% of all website visits in the US. All of Google’s properties including YouTube, Gmail, Google accounts for 9.85% – Experian Hitwise

  • The Zuckerberg’s Law

In 2010, people spent nearly 25% of their time on social networks (a 43% increase from 2009) compared to only 3.3% for search, and 4.4 for web portals. (Nielsen)
As an advertiser, you might be where your customers spent their time.

  • Sharing is the heart of the Web


The average consumer mentions specific brands over 90 times per week in conversations with friends, family, and co-workers. (Keller Fay, WOMMA, 2010).
You want to be among the brands mentioned, do you?

When people share, they share their love for your brand, your product or service.

  • Sharing has economical value

In a study conducted by social networking site myYearbook, 81 per-cent of respondents said they’d received advice from friends and fol-lowers relating to a product purchase through a social site; 74 per-cent of those who received such advice found it to be influential in their decision. (Click Z, January 2010)

A visitor coming from a social media site is ten times more likely to make a purchase online than an average visitor (Simply Zesty, 2010)

Majority of consumers (74%) rely on social networks to guide pur-chase decisions. (Gartner, July 2010)

  • Sharing closes the gap between awareness and purchase

Eighty-three percent of online shoppers said they are interested in sharing information about their purchases with people they know, while 74 percent are influenced by the opinions of others in their de-cision to buy the product in the first place. (Manage Smarter, Sep-tember 2009)

69% of Moms are likely to purchase a product based on what was heard through their online social network. (emarketer, 2010)

In the near future we will no longer search for products and services they will find us via social media. (Opinion from Socialnomics, August 2009)

  • Why do you need sharing from your fans?

A recent ComScore Report discovered that the Facebook Newsfeed is the primary location where branded content is consumed. Users are 40-150 times more likely to consume branded content in the Newsfeed than to visit the Fan Page itself.

Unfortunately, only a tiny fragment (2.5% or less) of what a brand posts on a fan page reaches its fans’ newsfeed or profile page.


To get fast and better results, advertisers need to focus on the News feeds.

  • Why people will unlike, hide or  unfollow you?

43% of Facebook users who “unlike” or hide a brand do so because of too much marketing into their newsfeed. 41% of users who have un-followed a brand on Twitter did so because they were over-marketed to – ExactTarget

You are not always the best person to push your message. Let people to it for you. First, they market you to themselves, then they market you to their friends. A Double win.

People influence people. Sharing is how they do that on the web or in real life.

How to Advertise in The Biggest Newspaper in the World

Category: P2P Peer to Peer Marketing, Peer Referral Network, Social Medias Tags: , , , , Leave a Comment

GoodBuzz Logo styled 50 years ago, here is how a typical American citizen starts his day:

  • Wakes up at 6am
  • Takes break fast at 6.30am
  • Reads newspaper till 7.15am
  • Starts work at 8am

Today, nothing has really changed, except typical American is lazier and don’t read anymore the newspaper. He wakes up at 7am, or later and start his day checking his Facebook profile or twitter stream.

Facebook and Twitter have replaced the newspaper as the premiere place where people find fresh information about what is going on in the world and around us. In fact, nowadays 75% of people discover new things because another person has shared them with them through social medias.

The publisher, editor, curator of this “new” newspaper is You. If you have a Facebook profile, or a Twitter account, you may not know that, but you become automatically an editor or a publisher (a social publisher).

You publish your thoughts and feelings, and share pieces of information that seem important to you, or you think will be useful or entertaining to your friends. Your audience is your friends, and the friends of your friends.

Today, the Facebook Newsfeed is the biggest newspaper or news portal in the world.

As people spend more and more time reading your wall or stream instead of the traditional newspaper, advertisers are interested to promote their brand in your newspaper or wall aka Newsfeed.

The hitch is, these advertisers don’t know how to reach you. They can’t call you. You are more than 1 billion publishers on social medias. Even if they can reach you, they don’t know to work with you, incentive you properly and develop a relationship with you.

These are the reasons why we have created GoodBuzz, a “People Agency” to help advertisers buy media from people (You), and for you to be rewarded for the time you spend finding and sharing on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin.

Every month, you share hundreds of companies’ links on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, etc. for free driving traffic to their websites, making their business to grow, and making them money. This represents hours of work. Now, many companies recognize that the time you spent finding and sharing content is precious, and are ready to give back. They will start giving tips to people who like what they are doing and spread their message out. And, Goodbuzz is the place to get it.

P2P (Peer-to-Peer) Technology Is Back To Disrupt Another Industry

Category: GoodBuzz Manifesto, Leads Groups / Referral Networks, Mission Statement, P2P Peer to Peer Marketing, Peer Referral Network, Press Release, Trusted Network Tags: , , , , Leave a Comment

P2P (Peer-to-Peer) Technology applied to Marketing and Advertising to help the Davids beat the Goliaths in the marketplace.

A group of local activists want to build awareness on dubious political practices, and alert more people about a controversial project the mayor has initiated. The local medias are not receptive to their ideas, and they have only a limited number of people they could reach directly through their mailing list, twitter followers, Facebook friends, etc. How could they overcome this handicap? GoodBuzz could be the right solution for them in this situation.

GoodBuzz is doing to marketing and advertising what BitTorrent did to online music, video, software distribution some years ago. Both utilize the power of peer-to-peer networks (P2P) to maximum effect, getting the job done faster, cheaper and more effective than by any other means.

The key to Goodbuzz scalable and broad distribution power is cooperation. When a member of the network has an event to promote and needs help to reach more people, he will log into the program and ask other members to relay his message to their contacts. The members who find his event interesting for their contacts, will recommend it for free, using more than 8 channels available: emailing, social medias (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Myspace), blogs, sms, posters, flyers, etc.

Cooperative distribution can grow almost without limit, because each new participant brings not only demand, but also supply. And, because each new participant bring new resources to the distribution, campaigns get limitless exposure for less effort and expenses.

GoodBuzz is not just a concept, but an easy to use program, even for people with no technical background or marketing experience. And when things work out well, it compares to a prime time TV coverage for an event, or a book been featured on the Oprah Show.

I wished I’d known about this website years ago. It would have saved me a lot of aggravation and hassle whenever I had to promote an event or launch a marketing campaign. - Jay Forrester (GoodBuzz user)

GoodBuzz Cooperative Distribution Network

Category: GoodBuzz Manifesto, Leads Groups / Referral Networks, Mission Statement, P2P Peer to Peer Marketing, Peer Referral Network, Referral Requests, Trusted Network Tags: , , , , , Leave a Comment

GoodBuzz is a Guerrilla marketing tool for the rest of us.

It has been created to help all the people whom the mainstream medias and journalists ignore, people who don’t have the right connections and a lot of money to spend in marketing and advertising, and people who want to build a different world.

A fundraiser in New York has an event to promote, and needs to make sure that he fills up the seats or maximizes visitors. After he has sent his tweets, facebook status updates and emailed his friends and contacts, he still can’t seem to fill up the seats. GoodBuzz could be the right solution for him in this situation.

A band in London has a gig to promote and needs to make sure 150 fans show up to make it. The last time they’ve tried to fill the 150 seats by posting on Facebook, Myspace, sending email to their contacts, inviting friends, and spreading some flyers around the city, they’ve ended up with only 25 people in the room, and it took them 70 hours of work. Imagine how disappointed you would be if after spending days and weeks planning and organizing your event no one showed up. GoodBuzz could be the right solution for a Band in this situation.

A Startup in Chicago, has just released their new product, and would like to let a maximum of people to know there is something new and valuable in the marketplace. After they have sent countless press releases to local medias, sent tweets, facebook status updates and emailed their friends and contacts, they still can’t get enough attention to build momentum for their product. GoodBuzz could be the right solution for a startup in this situation.

A group of local activists want to build awareness on dubious political practices, and alert more people about a controversial project the mayor has initiated. The local medias are not receptive to their ideas, and they have only a limited number of people they could reach directly through their mailing list, twitter followers, Facebook friends, etc. How could they overcome this handicap?

The members who find his event interesting for their contacts, will recommend it for free, using more than 8 channels available: emailing, social medias (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Myspace), blogs, sms, posters, flyers, etc.

Those that provide the most to others get the best treatment in return. (“Give and ya shall receive!”)

Cooperative distribution can grow almost without limit, because each new participant brings not only demand, but also supply. And, because each new participant bring new resources to the distribution, campaigns get limitless exposure for less effort and expenses. With GoodBuzz, it’s other people who do your event promotion for you, and for free.

GoodBuzz is not just a concept, but an easy to use program even for people with no technical background or marketing experience. And when things work out well, it compares to a prime time TV coverage for your event, or getting the Super bowl spotlight on your event, or been featured on the Oprah Show.

GoodBuzz is a free speech tool.

GoodBuzz is doing to marketing and advertising what BitTorrent did to online music, video, software distribution some years ago. Both utilize the power of peer-to-peer networks (P2P) to maximum effect, getting the job done faster, cheaper and more effective than by any other means.

It’s is a guerrilla marketing tool for all the people whom the mainstream medias and journalists ignore, people who don’t have a lot of money to spend in marketing and advertising, and people who want to build a different world.
