There are two kinds of Empire Avenue users, those who see EAv as just a game and those who use it as “social media rocket fuel.” If you just want to play EAv as a game, that’s cool; you can stop reading now and go back to trying to hit your next share price or wealth goal.
But, if you’re using Empire Avenue to advance your business, nonprofit or personal goals, then let me tell you about a new group of like-minded EAvers that are joining together for that purpose…
Beyond the Game
Many users view Empire Avenue as merely a social media stock market game or get caught up in trying to increase their Empire Avenue share price, wealth and other rankings to the detriment of their bigger goals. Our goal is to work together to help each other go Beyond Empire Avenue and use it as a tool to achieve our businesses, nonprofits and personal goals.
Beyond the Platform
Empire Avenue is not without it’s problems and limitations. It’s difficult to target a specific niche, it can take a long time to gain enough wealth and connections to do mission effectively and it can be a giant time suck. Our goal is to develop and promote tools, services and strategies that go Beyond Empire Avenue to make it work more efficiently and effectively.
Beyond the Users
Empire Avenue has a loyal, active core of users but it’s a relatively small group. Our goal is to go Beyond Empire Avenue’s current user base, connect with other people doing social media marketing and grow the community of people using Empire Avenue as a tool to achieve their businesses, nonprofits and personal goals.
Beyond Empire Avenue
Chris Ford started the group and I was quick to jump in and help move things forward. If you want to go Beyond Empire Avenue, we invite you to join the Beyond Empire Avenue Facebook group.
This is the vision and the “Why” of the group. In the coming weeks, we’ll be discussing and clarifying “how” we do this and “what” we do – strategy and action. I hope you’ll join us in this.

this seems like an excellent step! While I am still quite new to EA (3 weeks), I agree with Kim that the potential is there and exciting; could be such an excellent source for building bridges, collaborative efforts and general goodness. I’m in and I am off now to go to FB & “join” the group – thank you for spearheading the way with this
