Is this good? Well, I think so. Looking at most new joiners, they seem by far and away to get going, rise a few pence and then slip back. A few jump up a lot and then fall back dramatically - I wonder why - perhaps more on that in another post, perhaps entitled skullduggery.
Empire Avenue is sold as more than just a game, and it is supposed to be more about building relationships. Hhm, but are the relationships really meaningful? No, I don't personally think that they are, but if you want to play the game as a game, I have a few tips to help.
When you start make sure that you put something in the Bio, quirky, funny if possible, but do put something.
Then add some interests, at least 51 will be good. They can be anything, but be topical. If masterchef is currently showing on TV, add it as an interest, or X factor, or 90210 - what ever, anything that people might search for. If they search for a term that you have declared as an interest, they might find you. If they find you they might buy your shares, if they buy your shares you get income, 50% of what they spend.
Right, now onto the key and critical things. You need to link in your blogs if you have any, if you don't, start one, it is very easy.
Then you need to link in your Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin Accounts, and your Youtube and Flikr accounts. Why you are wondering, why should I? Well, they are already crawled and indexed by Google, so don't even think of being worried about security issues, Google ( and bing etc) already have you totally tracked and so you might as will link it here and get the benefits. What benefit you say? Well, Empire Avenue is really about money. Money in the form of EAVEs. You get some when you join, but that isn't enough to be successful. You get some more if you can sell some of your shares (see interests above, and adverts further down) You get some more from dividends or by buying and selling. But you also get rewarded for all of your social network activity. Every tweet, every facebook or linkedin entry, every blog entry, YouTube and Flikr activity earns you income.
So, what next? Well I strongly advise that you go to Search, recent arrivals and look at who is new and has a current price of more than 10.0 and less than 11.0. Click on them, look at their connections, and if they have facebook and twitter with lots of followers, buy 50 shares, and then leave a shout out, something like 'Hello, welcome, I am new too. I saw your shares and interests and I bought some shares in you, perhaps you would consider buying some shares in me and me can grow together, and lets link up on twitter too.' Why 50 shares' you ask. Well, you are new, building a portfoli and you do not want to put all your metaphorical eggs in one basket!
The shout out is friendly, and it helps your social interactivity points which earn rewards. The reason why I suggested this target to buy, is that having only just joined but having a lot of Social Networking connections should make their shareprice jump - and that means you can sell at a profit. NEVER (well not yet anyway) buy any shares in someone who is a fast mover. The commission is much too high, and you will struggle to make a profit. If you end up hooking up on twitter or facebook, you will also both earn rewards, which will help both of you.
DO NOT KEEP MONEY IN THE BANK. It is earning you nothing. You need to invest in as many shares that are likely to rise and make you as large a profit as possible.
Now. Go to SHOP and select Influencer Advertising. Here you can have one advert running that pops up on other peoples pages, it will help draw attention to you. It does cost a little, but the cost is low. Later, as you do better, you can purchase 2 or 3 concurrent adverts, but that is for later. Make the advert quirky if you like, but, keep an eye on it and see if it is working, if people are clicking though. If you don't advertise, people may not find you.
Next, everytime you go onto Empire Avenue, make sure you enter a few BUY ME SPAM entries. It is spam, but it is corny and it works !!
NOW THEN AN IMPORTANT BIT. Your mates, the ones that are not on it yet. Send them an email invitation from within Empire Avenue. If they follow it up and join (and you will encourage them to do so, won't you?) you get 2000 eaves, and so do they. Great, more money to spend.
Spend time looking around, make sure you are familiar with it, tweet me (@At0micandy) if you have questions, I will try and help, oh, and buy shares in me, I have a great rate of dividend, and you will get income from me every day that you own shares in me. http://empireavenue.com/at0mic
After a few days, you will get the hang of it and you may become quite 'into it'
It is a game. Have fun, and it is costing you nothing but time and that is your own to give.
