Now that you have joined - what comes next? Promoting your business, of course. Like the real world, StartupSpace rewards members for networking activities. Members are awarded points for activities (see below) that naturally enhance you and your business' profile, all for free of course.
What are the rewards for amassing points? Free Promotion, and lots of it.
1. Members who amass the most points each day will have their member business featured on the front page of StartupSpace the following day.
2. Members who amass the most points in a week will have their business featured on the front page the following week.
3. The advantage of being on the front page will give you & your business thousands of new eyes (and potential customers) as well as increase your search engine ranking.
Don't forget: More points equal more designations and higher rankings;
highest ranked members will find themselves on the front page permanently.
Below are the top 10 tips for amassing points and networking your way to the top on StartupSpace.
1. Invite friends - 125 points
By far the most effective way to promote your business on StartupSpace. For each invite, we reward users with 125 points to their ranking.
Note: StartupSpace closely monitors invitations - please send invitations to real people only. Spamming could result in removal of ranking points.
2. Post a Blog Post - 30 points
Each member is allocated a space for having their own personal business blog. A blog is a place to post commentary on your business, industry, tips, strategies, as well as promote your business. All new member blog posts are featured on the front page and the most popularly viewed blog posts will be ranked on our
blog page.
3. Create a Group - 20 points
Create a group about your business, industry or common interests & ideas. Invite members after you create your group and have the ability to send messages to everyone who joins your group.
4. Start a Discussion in the Forum - 20 points
Starting a discussion allows you to express your opinions and ask questions to other StartupSpace members. Ask about your business, share tips & resources in the discussion center.
5. Add or Upload a Video - 10 points
Upload a video about your business or industry or embed a useful video from YouTube. Our video center makes it easy to add videos and allows you to promote your business virally.
6. Add a Photo or Image - 5 points
Upload a photo or image pertinent to your business or industry and share with members. You can also solicit feedback with your photo by asking a question.
7. Add Friends - 5 points
What is life without friends? Add friends and build your network - don't forget to leave a comment.
8. Add a Comment - 5 points
Add a comment on a friend's profile page, video, picture or blog post. Each comment is worth 5 points.
9. Receive a Comment - 4 points
Your incentive for having a highly visited profile or adding interesting photos, blog posts, or videos? Even more points! Get 4 points for every comment someone leaves you or your content.
10. Be Persistent - Unlimited points
Like real world networking, social networking on StartupSpace works best when you invest for the future. Though inviting everyone you know or posting a useful blog post or video may amass you enough points to get your business featured on the front page on a daily or even weekly basis, don't forget to take a longer term view too. A person who amasses a lot of friends and points will effectively set them selves up with a permanent presence on the web. All of the above activities are repeatable without limit - get to work and prosper!
