While we were trading in the world of Empire Avenue we came across another investor called Pundit from India with whom we started discussing the future of Empire Avenue and potential contribution of the channel in the world of Social Media. After a deep conversation and exchange of knowledge we reached a point to have a blogpost about Empire Avenue and how people can use the channel more effectively while having fun. This blogpost you’re reading is the content of conversation between Wise Marketing and Pundit.
What is Empire Avenue?
Watch out Facebook. Empire Avenue is the latest hottest highly addictive social networking site. While Empire Avenue capitalizes on the very same human personality trait of narcissism, it takes the idea to its logical conclusion. Instead of declaring a “liking” (of dubious veracity) for other people, Empire Avenue insists you put your money where your mouse is.
On Empire Avenue, you and I are more than just people. We are in fact, people-stocks. Strangers around the world trade shares in us on a virtual stock exchange for virtual profit.
Why should I join Empire Avenue?
People sign up to find out the market worth of their personal brand and social network. You can list yourself on a public stock index closest to your chief interest for example, news and media or sports or weapons. People build portfolios buying people-stocks based on market valuation of social media activity, common interests or personal connections.
How do I earn money and build my net worth on Empire Avenue?
In chronological order, here is a to-do list:
1 – Fill out your profile and upload a portrait photograph
2 – Connect all social media platforms in which you are active – Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Flickr
3 – If you have one, connect your blog RSS feed to get it peer endorsed
4 – Go about your normal social media activities; such as tweeting, FB pages like, commenting, upload videos and photos and more importantly blogposts
5 – Join city, interest, brand and personal communities
6 – Find people via the Search Function or the Twitter Index and buy shares in people
7 – Market yourself to potential buyers
8 – Reciprocate share purchases as much as you can within your budget
9 – Chat with people as much as possible on anything and everything
10 – Keep an eye on unlocking achievement
Empire Avenue considers every single one of above actions and or transactions (trading shares) as “achievements” and awards you points, known as the virtual currency Eaves. Needless to say that, you may not want to give Empire Avenue a “non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licence, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with the website”.

Great blog post. It’s good to wrap up in a nutshell for all the impatient people who would like to be apart of this social network without spending too much time reading all the “how-to’s”.

When I first joined Empire Avenue, despite the fact that I am a financial guy, it was just a little confusing. This article helped by make sense of Empire Avenue. I found it from chatting with MediaLad on EA. He is worth connecting with!
Thanks Barry! I enjoyed the conversation with you and look forward to further exchange of knowledge and experience.

Great to see more people in the UK getting on board, and thanks for this post and the comments on my one. It truly is an addictive new service and I’m glad you’re loving it.
There’s a couple of extra blog posts that others may like: How Social Media Managers can invest well on EA. This takes it on from the pointers that you’ve given and would naturally follow on once you’re up and running.
