About 60 days ago, my team was working on an email program with an online retailer focused on expanding participation in their loyalty program. Unlike previous programs, the call to action of this email was not to “click a link” and join the loyalty program; rather; it was to share the experience of the loyalty program with their friends and encourage them to join as well.

This was no simple share-to-social initiative. The retailer created several incentives to motivate sharing behavior. Next, they tracked the number of invitations each customer sent to their friends and attributed those that actually “subscribed” to the loyalty program back to the initial inviter.

The results far surpassed previous email campaigns; in fact, the social program described above generated three times the number of subscribers than the previously launched un-socialized programs. Major results included:

• 1 new member for every 1.8 peer-to-peer invitations
• 10% of new members went on to purchase
• 4.3 emails sent, on average, by each influencer Read the rest of this entry »

Blogging is hot. You can find ebooks about it, read about it in major magazines or even hear about it on television. But is it for just anyone or just the lucky few?

Much depends on your goals. How soon do you need to be earning? How much do you want to earn? How much effort are you willing to put into blogging?

Just about anyone who can write reasonably well can earn some money as a blogger. I don’t mean you need to write well enough to become a published author. Blogging is often done in a very personal, conversational style, which is something most people can manage. Just write as though you’re talking to a friend.
