Announcing Viral Content Buzz, the Free Social Media Promotion Platform

I’ve known Gerald Weber for like… forever. He has always amazed me with his enthusiasm and loyalty. So when he invited me to co-found his new project, I knew he was the right person to go with.

So that’s how Viral Content Buzz was born

Viral Content Buzz is the free social media promotion platform that lets you get the word out for your own articles by sharing other people’s content. In short, you earn credits for sharing other people’s stories and you can then spend those credits on your own projects: free publicity coupled with high-quality approach is our selling point.

The unique features of the platform are:

• Only high-quality content is approved for sharing (We manually moderate all submissions. Here are our quality guidelines)
• Only established, “real” social media accounts can share your story.
• We award more credits to more powerful accounts. For example, if a Twitter user with ~500 followers shares your story, you are charged 1 credit (and that user also earns 1 credit). However if a user with 5000+ followers shares the same story, you are charged 5 credits. This is sure to attract members of the platform to connect their most powerful Twitter accounts.
• We target your dashboard to your interests. We want you to only see stories which are relevant (and interesting) to your social media followers!

I have created a quick video guide for you to better get the idea:

Your project budget is how much you are going to spend on it in total. You can select which social networks you want your story to be shared on.

Our TO-DO List

The platform is still in alpha. We are working on many other features. If you think you have more ideas, please share them in the comments and I’ll add them to our TO-DO list:

1. More social media sites to support: We are adding Pinterest, Google Plus and StumbleUpon. Update: We added Pinterest!
2. Done: More flexible interface: Most testers loved our Pinterest-style box-based layout of available projects. However some testers thought a raw Gmail-like table view would be more usable. Thus we’ll add a simple table view of available projects to share. You’ll be able to quickly switch between the two layout options. Update: We now allow to switch between grid- and table-like interface!
3. Email notifications of project approved, rejected, stopped (due to the lack of credits, etc)
4. Click through reports: How much traffic you were able to generate through our users’ shares
5. Browser bookmarklet! You’ll be able to add projects with one click of a mouse!
6. Scheduling or spacing out of updates for them not to get published within one minute or less.
