Entrecard Fever
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
It was approximately 2 weeks ago when I finally clicked on one of those Entrecard links on a blog out of pure curiosity. I was starting to see these weird ‘Drop’ links on blogs all over the place, and wanted to know what the heck I was missing.
Turns out, I was missing out on a fun, hugely addictive opportunity to make new friends and spread the word about Wahm Cafe. Yep.. I’ll take free advertising any day! So, I jumped (quickly) aboard the Entrecard bandwagon.
Basically, you sign up for a free account and add an Entrecard widget on to your blog (preferably in a prominent position), and other passing members can “drop” their card on you. Every time someone drops a card on you, you earn one credit, and every time you drop your card on someone else, you also a credit. Your Entrecard dashboard will show you who has dropped their cards on you, so that you can also reciprocate.
The whole point of this system is the free advertising you can get out of it. A 125×125 card ad is displayed in the widget, and you buy an ad on someone else’s blog using the credits that you gather. Each time you buy an ad on someone else’s page, your ad is displayed in their widget for 24 hours. You may receive requests from irrelevant blogs looking to advertise, but you have full control over which advertisers you accept and reject.
Using Entrecard is a terrific way to obtain free advertising on blogs that you otherwise may not be able to afford, or haven’t even discovered yet. I’ve traded my credits in for advertising on relevant
blogs that I’d never seen before, until browsing through the categories in Entrecard. There are literally thousands of opportunities just waiting for you.
Choose from Categories such as: Business, Marketing, Blogging Resources, Parenting & Family, Womens Interests, Cooking & Dining, Make Money Online, Graphic Design and a whole lot more.
Some of Entrecard’s newest features include:
- The ability to add more than one blog to your account: This is really easy to do via your Dashboard - just click on “Linked Blogs” and add all of your blogs in one convenient spot.
either one, from the very top right of your Entrecard screen. Where
your email address is displayed there will be a link to “switch” to
another account of yours.
- Campaign Page Tabs: Quickly and conveniently find the most popular, newest, and cheapest Entrecard members. You can also check out the Random search, or search for specific sites.
- Top Droppers RSS Feed: This is cool! On your Statistics page you’ll find the RSS feed to those ‘Droppers’ who have dropped their cards on you the most. This is a really handy feed to have.
Ad don’t forget to download your FREE copy of the Entrecard Official E-Book! Don’t get lost when you first join Entrecard - this free pdf download tells you what to do and how to do it. It’s an awesome resource and will help you get started Dropping the easy way
