Less than twelve hours ago my social media brand had an IPO. That’s right my name, the brand name Brian Belfitt is now worth something according to Empire Avenue. When I signed up I have an initial purchasing price of 10e. Within the next 12 hours the price per share for my name went up to 27e which in my opinion makes me hotter than Facebook.
The price continues to rise as propel see the quality of my brand and continue to purchase shares. In fact I’m an amazing purchase right now in my professional opinion and could see my shares rising easily with the brand power I have online. If you join right now, you can have amazing potential as well. If you join make sure to comment and leave your profile link so I can invest in you, our Blog Engage members.

From what I’ve seen so far everyone has the following mentality. I buy 200 shares of you, you buy 200 shares of me. If I were you I wouldn’t be doing that and I would be ignoring the requests. When you invest in someone you want to ensure they have some type of longevity in social media and they have real followers and a real strong online brand.

You connect all your socials profiles in one place.

“If I were you I wouldn’t be doing that and I would be ignoring the requests. When you invest in someone you want to ensure they have some type of longevity in social media and they have real followers and a real strong online brand.” That confuses me. What do you mean? Thank you.

When you exchange purchases there is no “real” sense of social power. It can be two random people that have no social pull buying one another stocks. It’s a dangerous move, HP wouldn’t buy Microsoft shares because Microsoft bought HP. It’s not how business works and it’s probably not how social stocks should work either. Just my advice feel free to do it as you wish.

Well, keep in mind that this is not a real stock market and this is really a platform to make connections. If people had had that mentality when I first started, I would not have had any investors, as I was new to twitter and didn’t have much of a following. Fast forward 10 mos, I am usually the #1 stock globally for both earnings and dividends. My ration is usually > 1% – making me an outstanding investment. This week I am in the 2 and 3 positions because I went to Las Vegas for most of the week.
Your first days it is easy to get investors. Everyone buys you on spec. However, if you do not buy back, they will dump your stock, your price will fall, others will see the falling price, they will dump you and then you have a serious situation on your hands, no matter how influential you are. I’ve seen it happen so many times. These people who have pretty good followings end up just sitting back, dazed and confused, wondering what happened. Now this probably won’t happen to you, because you know the drill. Just be careful and buy back, even if it is a little stock. You never know who will become a big fish with a long memory and a grudge.

Hi Kim, it may be a game to you and it may be a game to me but some of us may see more potential for using this system to market and make connections than others. I would think the opposite as you, when you first joined I would loved to have purchased your shares. I know for a fact they were going to grow so anything under the 50e would had been fantastic.
P.S. If someone holds a grudge because I don’t buy their shares then they have larger issues then our discussions right no lol… But with that said I think I fully understand the concept your talking about. Thanks for the advice and feedback you have given me a lighter more fun perspective on something I may had been taking too seriously.

I was kind of missen when I signed up. Well, probably because I didn’t invest time to learn. Every new system has a learning curve no matter how simple it is. I’ll have to give it some more time.

Hi Enstine, the program is extremely time consuming and will require a lot of reading. I’m working on a few posts to help guide us thought the learning process. Stick around and subscribe I have a good one coming up today.

If this has been going on for almost a year, why am I just hearing about it now? Kim said she’s been on it for 10 months. I am not sure I want to join, but it is good to know what is going on. Thanks, Brian.
