Bringing The Buzz To WidgetBucks
Last week I helped a company called Mpire launch a new shopping widget called WidgetBucks.com. I was brought in to help them get the “buzz” going and get people talking and bloggers blogging about it.
I guess I did a good job, because in one-week they went from 0 signups… to 5,000 signups, as well as 25 million impressions from those signups.
It’s been a wild first week for WidgetBucks, the new ad network of shopping widgets. Launched Tuesday, Oct. 2, WidgetBucks has registered 5,000 publishers, bloggers and affiliates, as well as 25 million impressions during its first seven days.
Maybe someday I’ll write a long post telling exactly how I helped them, but for now, my specific methods remain a trade secret. :)
One thing is for sure though, if you’re going to put your name behind a product, you have to believe it’s going to work for people. WidgetBucks has the potential to earn for many. I hope it’s working out for you.
I am happy with WidgetBucks so far. Hmmmm… I’d like to know how you helped them. ;)
I found it ” According to Jim Kukral, online marketing veteran and award-winning blogger, WidgetBucks represents “a strategy to help publishers get all of their eggs out of Google’s basket…which is a good thing.†Jim, we couldn’t agree more. “
Good job, Jim. Keep me posted on what’s hot in the widget world and with any other things you’re working on. I did hear a ton of buzz for this one - well done.
Hi Jim,
I am using the widgetbucks and the main reason for me using it, was due the chatter on the blog secne, Buzz… is more appropriate word.
Looking forward for your execution of this game.

Looks like there’s a future for WidgetBucks. Since coming on, I’ve been getting impressions and clicks and $$ added to the bonus $25. But you gotta know one thing - not all WB products attract. You need to test them out and settle for the ones that appear to get clicks. I know a few that really works but you gotta try them out yourself and that depends on the kind of blog you have.
WidgetBucks has been doing quite well on my websites so far. I’m even happier now that I know you’re behind this in some way :-)
