Re: Our SaaS app helped a customer make $18k
#12Just wanted to say that for a company blog post, this was really great. It's data-rich, it tells a compelling story, the site has a solid visual design, and the multiple calls to action were well placed and didn't detract from the post. I don't know this industry niche well, but I'm guessing Rafflecopter is a chief competitor. I think if they see this blog post, it'll rattle their knees a little :)
I agree. It was one of the few posts that I read in its entirety. Small blocks of texts with plenty of graphics kept me interested. If I see a large wall of text, I usually read 20% and move on.

#13Soooo is it acceptable/moral to gamify likes/+1/reposts/shares like this ?
As you can read in the post, if your customers interact with your Facebook group page ("like", comment, share etc) the more your info shows up in their newsfeed. Why wouldn't you give away product to increase their exposure to your company?

I agree. At the end of the day, it breaks through the clutter to bring to the table clear goals of disruptive innovation to empower diversity and grow the brand. It takes a holistic approach to leverage organic growth, helping us think outside the box and shift major paradigms. They're clearly taking a proactive approach to push the envelope -- and I'm going to reach out to them today, because there's a sea change in the business, and we need best-in-class professionals like this to streamline our survival strategy. With that kind of sustainability and synergy, it's a win-win for everyone!

The screenshot shows reward for sharing, which isn't covered by that.
Based on the screenshot, you're doing the Like rewarding in the non-compliant manner, not the compliant one - doesn't appear that pre-existing likes get the 10 entries.
