I was just in the thread made by @itsyoung!! (Click Here) Where he was basically talking about the difficulties he was having with promoting his business due to changes in Social Media (FB/Twitter/IG)

So I was thinking...
  • There are a bunch of other people here trying to start up business or smalls side hustles.
  • The Coli has a strong network of people and the site is getting more and more notoriety.
  • We have thousands of members here so taping into each persons individual network could help a lot.
  • This is also a good way to support black businesses. We have some cac business people too, we can show them love as well.
:thinking:

The Idea:
What if we had a system here, where we send tweets/IG posts/FB posts on our personal social networking sites on behalf of the businesses of other coli members. (This will expose those businesses to people in our personal networks.) And in return we get credit so that we can promote our own businesses.

Even if you currently don't have a business, you can build up credit for the day you decide to sell T-Shirts with coli-smilies on them...promote a party that you are throwing...advertise for your game tickets you want to sell...whatever. There are a lot of creative people on here who think of some good side hustles and if we co-op our promoting efforts we can all eat.

Example, say I send out promo for @itsyoung!!...I'll get credit (coli cash or something) so that when I decide to promote my business, party, event, t-shirts, ect. I can be eligible for other coli members to promote my website. If you do not earn credit by promoting other people's business then you will not be able to have people promote for you.

To avoid spammers from coming to the coli and exploiting this, we can set requirements like...
  • Aged Coli Accounts: You have to have an account that is setup for at least a month.
  • Minimum Post Amount: You have to be an active poster. No New Niiggas.
  • Credit Earned by promoting other peoples pages. Do for other and they will do for you.
  • Must post screen shots/provide links of you promoting other coli businesses.
Also, every user will have to list there social site in their profile to verify that they have a healthy enough network. At least a hundred or so followers/friends.

What do you yall think?

If I mention you multiple times, it is a mistake...sorry.

EDIT: Please vote so that we can track all the people who are interested. I enough people vote yes then we can start a group on the coli for those that want to be involved. Vote YES if you would want an invite.

The only issue i see is how do we know whos business is trash. If i send someone to help someone i know with something and their business is amateur and poor, its a bad look on friends. Doesnt seem like there is any oversight or screening involved here.
Good point. I guess, the business owner can have links to their business page so that people and learn more about the business before they endorse it. People can promote businesses at their own discretion.

:ehh: don't have anything brewing and not using social media like that, but I like this idea. Where's that suscribes button.
