Good morning EAvers! We’ve got a good group of new players that came on board yesterday. Six on my primary list and 8 more on the secondary. I hope you’ve got eaves to invest. And I hope you finish out 2011 with a great day!

Here’s my list of the top new EAv players from the last 24 hours:

Here are some new players that didn’t quite make the primarily list, but are close enough that I recommend giving them a try:

Have a great day investing!

To make the primarily list of the top new stocks, a stock must meet ALL of the following criteria:

  • ROI > 1.0 (ROI is dividend per share divided by stock price)
  • Dividend of at least 0.20e/share
  • The player has bought shares in other stocks
  • The player has connected at least 1 social network to EAv

Good morning EAvers.  Not as many newbies yesterday, but still some very good investment opportunities. 5 on main list and 4 additional recommendations today.

Need your input on reciprocal buying strategy

As I wrote last week in the post Strategy Debate: ROI vs Reciprocal Buying, I’ve become about as much of a reciprocal buying purist as you’ll find on EAv.  If you buy my shares I will buy yours no matter what your ROI or share price and I’ll hold regardless of what happens to your ROI or share price as long as you stay active on Empire Avenue. I realize that not many others use the same strategy, and that’s cool.

I have a new idea that will help to connect reciprocal buyers with each other but in order to implement it well, I need to better understand the conditions various EAv players put on reciprocal buying.  Some of the ones I’ve heard include:

  • Can only match up to your max (as determined by how much pie you’ve bought)
  • Will match up to a certain number of shares immediately and work towards matching the rest later.
  • Will only match if the player has an ROI above a certain threshold.
  • Will only match if the player’s share price is trending upward.
  • Will only match if the player is active on EAv (above a certain # EAv actions in the last week).
  • Similar to the last 3, some people will only hold as long as the players ROI stays above a certain threshold, sin’t trending down, and stays active on EAv.
  • Will match and hold based on a bunch of factors but have no hard and fast rules. So basically it comes down to gut feeling.

If you do reciprocal buying of some sort, what are your conditions?

Good morning EAvers! Yesterday we had 115 people sign-up on Empire Avenue, the most in 11 days. Many of them have excellent dividends and ROIs. Unfortunately many of them also have yet invest in other players yet, so I couldn’t put them on my main list (only 3 there) but I feel good about recommending 14 others on my secondary list.

Good morning EAvers! Just one newbie on the main list today, but quite a few that just barely missed and are included on the secondary list.

Good morning EAvers! As you might expect, Christmas was a pretty slow day for new players. Only 46 people signed up, which is the fewest in any day since I’ve been investing in new players. Of those 46 I recommend investing in 5 of them.

A good morning & Merry Christmas Eve to you all. Only 53 people joined EAv yesterday but I’m recommending investing in more than 20% of them (11), so some good investment opportunities.

Empire Avenue IS Missions

December 23, 2011

@PaulSteinbrueck News 18 Comments

You’re probably already aware that Empire Avenue has tweaked the shareholder missions (now just called missions), launched a Mission hub page and begun rolling missions out to more users. (See their blog for the announcement.) This may seem like a relatively minor change if you’ve been completing missions for a while, and especially if you were one of the beta testers, but this is huge for Empire Avenue.

Missions are not just a cool new add-on feature of Empire Avenue.

Empire Avenue IS Missions

Empire Avenue has changed its entire focus and business model and missions are at the heart of it.

Do you remember Empire Avenue’s tag line? The social stock market

Gone.

If you check out the new Empire Avenue homepage (you’ll have to log out to see it), you’ll see the new tag line is:

Build Your Empire

With the descriptor:

Use Virtual Currency to Expand Your Audience and Drive Engagement Online

In other words, Empire Avenue is no longer marketing itself as a social stock market game. Empire Avenue is now positioning itself as the place where you can make connections, earn eaves, and then use the eaves to incent your connections to visit your website, share your content, etc.

Missions are not neat little add-on, they are the central piece of this strategy.

One organization making the most of missions has been Insider Perks (aka (e)TRVL). They’ve been offering on average 2 missions every week day to view, share, like and comment on their travel videos. With 64 million eaves of wealth, they can afford to do that without

Brian Searl, Founder & CEO of Insider Perks says, “I think the value of missions is in the engagement it provides. We’ve found it brings us closer to our already existing shareholders and provides a way to engage with them that benefits both parties. We get a little bit of additional traffic while they get eaves to spend and the chance to enjoy great content.”

Empire Avenue is hoping many more organizations and individuals will follow Insider Perk’s lead.

Brad Grier of Empire Avenue acknowledged the change and hinted at future changes in this direction, “We’ve definitely shifted our focus as a company, as we’ve learned what sorts of features are really interesting to our members. We’ve really started evolving from a social stock market alone into a much larger platform where people are earning virtual currency by being engaging with people and content online. The social stock market is one element of that, and Missions are another.”

“We still have work to do with the site, and our ultimate goal is for you to be rewarded for being social online. As a content creator or brand that might mean getting more traffic and engagement, while others might benefit by discovering cool videos, blogs or whatever, or by meeting new people… or by earning virtual currency that they can use on the site or, yes we mean this, elsewhere on the web. Now isn’t that cool?”

What do you think of Empire Avenue’s change in focus?
