NextBee's word of mouth marketing platform

What Company Is Offering:
NextBee's word of mouth marketing platform is built by analyzing tools and interface components needed for successful word of mouth marketing campaigns.

How It Works:

You sign up with us and immediately get access to your business account.

If you decide to offer awards for referring users, you create your own specific award program by defining criteria such as how many conversions required for award, how the award is calculated (% of item price, fixed prize, a coupon, or even no award).
Through the Setup page in your account, you have access to html code snippets that you should host on your site. In these code snippets you substitute product id/campaign id, referral url with your specific parameters.

You include Javascript files from their server (similar to what you do if you are tracking visitors through Google analytics/Omniture). The Javascript automatically replaces the html snippets with widgets for reviews/review counts, and referral buttons, all of which can be customized.

When the user sends a referral, they use your specified referral URL and append tracking information to it. This enables us to track the performance of these referrals and associate conversions with appropriate referrals.

Whenever a successful conversion happens, you notify us about it by making a simple Javascript call or URL redirection. This does not affect your website flow or functionality.

Once they get the conversion notification, they make the sanity check, associate it with right users, calculate awards, notify users, and update the campaign analytics available in your account.

InterviewStudio combines the newest online recruiting tools into one Web portal, including: candidate profiles, video interviews, online resumes, social networking profiles, professional assessment tests, business references, and data about the candidates from internet search engines.

How It Works:

InterviewStudio, review the candidate's resume, evaluate the results of a nationally recognized assessment test, watch a video taped interview, look for public information on the candidate in Google and identify their social network via LinkedIn, all from the same platform and in a matter of minutes. Based on this broad base of information on the candidate, the hiring manager can quickly determine if the individual may be the right "fit" for their firm and warrant the time and expense of an in person interview.

For job seekers, the InterviewStudio platform offers a candidate the ability to uniquely showcase their complete skills, abilities and talents to a hiring manager and dramatically improve their ability to gain an in person interview.

Mistakes Made By Social Media Gurus

In an effort to learn from others’ mistakes, here’s a list of some all star errors in judgment from some social media all stars. I’ll lead off the order by admitting an error of my own.

Respond to all negative comments – When I, David Spark,
started being seen publically in print, TV, radio, and online I read everyone’s comments, but focused more intently on the negative ones. I wasted a lot of time putting far too much effort into defending myself to these anonymous naysayers than they put into attacking me. I soon understood that some geeks simply can’t help themselves being negative. They’ve got an obnoxious strand of DNA and must constantly try to prove themselves smarter than you.

Participate in flame wars to increase traffic – Similarly, Dana Gardner, blogger for ZDNet, admits he would engage in online arguments just to watch his Web traffic shoot up. But over time Gardner realized that flame wars don’t attract the right kind of audience. “Going to the lowest emotional common denominator to me is an ineffective way of reaching that audience. I’d rather come up with valuable insightful fresh innovative content than appeal to angry white men sitting around computers that don’t have anything else to do,” Gardner said.

Hire a voice talent for $2,000 to read a podcast for you – Paul Dunay, Global Director of Integrated Marketing at BearingPoint and prominent blogger, made a massive blunder when he decided to get into podcasting. His first show was actually a whitepaper read by a voice talent for $2,000. The resulting podcast sounded like a book on tape and he and his colleagues were horrified. That episode was never published, but the voice talent did get paid.

Send a specially selected mass mailing to your friends – Susan Bratton, co-founder and CEO of Personal Life Media, is still having a problem trying to scale individual relationships with social media. Even when she pares down her mailing list of 8,000 to a personally selected mailing of 250, she still gets nasty messages telling her to “take me off this list.”

Assume that social media doesn’t exist until you arrive – Social media strategist Chris Brogan and founder of PodCamp reached out to the New England podcasters’ bulletin board and said he was going to invite all the social media rock stars to come to Boston for Podcamp. Nobody responded to what he thought was a generous offer until he saw a response on the board that said, “There are a lot of rock stars in Boston and it’s kind of offensive you got to import them from other places.” Brogan learned from his mistake. Wherever you go on the Web realize there’s been a history. Don’t assume you know everything and discredit what’s been done before you arrived, Brogan said.

Credit Karma offers a new way to track your credit score and a unique way to benefit from it

What Company Is Offering:
Credit Karma offers a new way to track your credit score and a unique way to benefit from it. For the first time you can get a truly free credit score with no hidden costs or obligations. Based on your score, you gain access to exclusive offers from companies that value your creditworthiness.

The premise of consumer Credit Scoring is that people with good credit pay their bills on time, are less likely to go into collections, and tend to waste fewer company resources overall. These factors translate to higher profitability for that company and make that customer more desirable.

How It Works:

The general idea is that any action a person takes either positive or negative, will have an inevitable equal effect in the future. Your credit score is kind of an expression of this concept; an index of your credit history: your credit karma. Credit Karma embodies the best parts of these two disparate yet similar concepts to help people stay aware of their Credit Score and gain access to exclusive deals at the same time.

Their services start with a FREE credit score. No credit card is required and no strings are attached. Return as often as you like and use their service to track your credit file and stay informed. Credit Karma believes this is a fundamental consumer right. Credit Karma will continue to provide these FREE credit scores while doing the most to protect your privacy regardless if you use our other services.

When you access the FREE credit score, Credit Karma will show personalized offers to you based on your credit profile . These offers are from advertisers who share our vision of consumer empowerment. If you wish to take advantage of Karma Offers, it is up to you. Credit Karma will never share your information without your consent.
