This is a guest post by Orion Wills, (e)IADVERTISE.
Throughout the random (and seemingly endless) stream of random that is Twitter, I happen to see something that caught my eye. It was a link that claimed to help connect your networks and engage other people with similar interests. It was Empire Avenue. I looked over the site and was intrigued.
At first, I thought this would be something that I would spend five minutes a day on. After playing around for a couple of hours after work, I realized that this was something that I really wanted to be more involved in. Not only does it connect me with people that I actually want to connect with but it entices and incentivizes activity (RTs, +1s, likes, et al.). It’s easy to generate thousands of followers, but can you get them to participate in what you’re publishing? EAv helps that.
Here’s the steps that I took that took me from the beginning share price of 10e to 44.34e:
1.) Focus on connecting all your networks
- Everything you have contributes to your value when people are looking in to you. Everything.
2.) Buy lots and lots of shares. There’s countless blogs out there talking about who to buy, when to buy and when to sell, so I won’t cover that here.
3.) Always, always, always re-buy from investors (even if you can’t afford to match them).
4.) Always post shouts when you buy. Also, replay to as many shouts as you can.
5.) Participate in the chat channels and trade what you can.
6.) Barter other commodities if you don’t have enough liquid to trade shares. Never beg for investments. Reciprocity is key here.
- Offer 5xRTs and 5x+1s and blog endorsements in exchange for 200 share blocks
- Offer Fan Page likes, YouTube subs and anything else in exchange for 200 share blocks.
7.) Send out shareholder mails when you hit any milestone. It’s personable and people know you spent e on it, so they might be more prone to reading it.
8.) Be friendly, helpful and ask questions! Everyone was new at some point and everyone will help you out in some way.
9.) When making share purchases, break them down into 4 purchases of 25% of the intended amount. Apparently, this shows more activity on EAv, which reflects higher in the scores. It takes longer, but it might be worth it.
That’s what I’ve done in the last 24 hours. It’s a good start, but I know I have lots to learn.
Does anyone know the record for first 24 hour share price jump?

I don’t know the record, but you did very well! I noticed you right away as friendly & active and not afraid to ask questions. Great going!

Thanks! I pretty much saw that the more active connections that you had meant that more people would see you and invest.
This was just a guess, to which I was correct.

I can add that some wise beginners always thank for purchase and do the answer at least on 1 action. I such sell in the latest turn even if they dive downwards on a panic of investors.
To me it was very difficult right at the beginning. My native language Russian, and at school and academy studied German, therefore, before has started to understand as works ЕА, has filled many cones
Могу добавить, что некоторые мудрые новички всегда благодарят за покупку и делают ответ хотя бы на 1 акцию. Я таких продаю в самую последнюю очередь, даже если они пикируют вниз на панике инвесторов.
Мне было очень трудно в самом начале. Мой родной язык русский, а в школе и академии изучал немецкий, поэтому, прежде чем начал понимать как работает ЕА, набил много шишек

Don’t worry about that. Everyone moves at their own pace here on the Avenue.
Mar 28, 2012 @ 16:51:33
You’ll catch up soon enough…don’t you worry!
Mar 28, 2012 @ 16:42:41
Orion, thanks for writing this post. You catch on fast! All 9 are very good tips.
Mar 28, 2012 @ 16:52:12
Thanks for your help! You definitely helped me think of what I should be doing, so you contributed to my leap.
Mar 28, 2012 @ 16:57:26
If you have plenty of time, you can always do a lot of things. For a professional worker, sometimes it’s hard to follow some of those. Missions are definitely a way to make fast eaves. One lesson I learned is you don’t want to grow too fast. When you slow down, your shares may drop or slow down and people may sell your shares. Just my two cents.

I always wondered why my stock was sometimes bought in smaller steps… 40, 60, 50 and 50 more. Good tip, will do the same from now on.
But I wonder if tip 6 (Barter other commodities if you don’t have enough liquid to trade shares) really works. It is hard to trace the connection between buying shares of someone and seeing if the same person is doing “other commodities” instead of buying back. Or is there a way?
Mar 30, 2012 @ 09:46:35
Well, the more actions that you perform on my networks directly helps me (and my shareholders). I think that everyone knows the restraints that anyone that’s new has: not much capital to invest with, but looking to grow.
This is just where you need to leverage something that is of value that you can do. I have sent out many messages to people – that I know have extra capital – and telling them that I will put them on my “list to buy when I can” if they will invest in me now. In exchange, you give them something that shows that you’re willing to work.
I’m not saying that I’ve had 100% adoption with this method, but I have had some, which means that it was worth it.

My score was from 10e to 44,18e in the first 24hrs. I think is good, too!
Apr 11, 2012 @ 06:22:02
That’s a great start, Ivan. Keep up the good work. If you have any questions about Empire Avenue, just ask.

I’m only on day 2 at Empire, and I’m up to 34.43. Still absorbing everything, and trying to buy back, and do missions. Thanks for the tips!

I am interested to hear more about point 9? How does it work? what are the numbers? I am sure there is no front facing algorithm, but what indicators have brought you to this conclusion?
May 12, 2012 @ 19:32:15
I am gonna remember these points like alphabets Thank you for sharing

Reblogged this on galatorg and commented:
This “game” makes me feel like a social networking wh*re, but it’s great to get stuff out, get more followers and such. My stock keeps rising and this guy had included me in a list of top stocks today also. Fun stuff

This is a great help to me. Somehow I missed it in the cloud of haze of the last 2 days. These nine tips are a great foundation to Empire Avenue success. Personally, I wish I would have known about step 9 earlier, I might have gotten a little closer to his first 24 hour ending total.

Enjoyed the easy to read layout format. Found some great tips. Great info, kuddos for the Step 9 successful tips!

Great tips… Don’t know why I didn’t see this article before. Paul’s blog has been incredibly helpful to me, but somehow I missed this one! I love the barter idea!

I’m now 10 days on EA and have a portfolio worth over 2 MIL, which is lovely in itself, but I have must have broken all rules (or tips) mentioned above. Not all, that is not correct, I did shout out after (almost) all investments, thanked all people investing in me, never invested in people who don’t have an avatar, but did not try to buy shares of all investors (just not enough eaves to do so) and sorry some shares are just not that interesting… I have mainly focused on investing in people with a nice divident and who respond (who I feel connected with) and my basic rule is… FUN… as long as I have fun and feel a personal connection with the others I invest. Is that a cool way of working? I believe so!

Hey Pieter, glad to hear you’re off to such a good start. Sounds like you’ve been doing #1, #2, #4, #8. So you’ve been following about half the tips. But the post is about 7 months old, which is an eternity in EAv time, and probably should be updated.
The post is also written from the perspective of someone whose goal was to get their share price as high as possible as fast as possible. If your goals are different – to have fun and make personal connections – then it makes sense that your strategy would be different too.
Glad you’re having fun and making EAv work for you, and thanks for the comment!
