It’s now been a month since I was coerced into joining Empire Avenue. Right from the start I had a single, well defined goal. I want to meet and start new conversations / connections with people. Doubters and Skeptics? I may still be one. I even stated that I was Searching for value, I’ve seen complaints about it being a time suck, no redeeming value, just another pointless game. With my goal in mind, does Empire Avenue suck for you? Maybe it’s not Empire that sucks, maybe it’s YOU. Here’s 34 reasons why YOU suck at Empire Avenue. So if you can run down this entire list and say, “Nope, that isn’t me” AND you haven’t started any new conversations because of it, I guess it’s safe to assume Empire Avenue is not for you. (let me know so I can sell you before your shares tank) Guess what? I still suck at Empire and I really don’t care. Everyday I’m adding 10+ new people to the sites I like to really play in (Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Linkedin, and YouTube). I’m engaging with those new people on those sites and I’ve found a good number of great blogs to add to my feedreader. Oh and the time suck part? Empire isn’t a time suck once I figured out what I’m doing – I spend maybe 5 minutes a day on it at most. Are you on Empire? Having fun? Don’t buy me because I’m a good investment, buy me to start a conversation and then do.
Great post Mike, you just added value to this Empire system for me, THANKS!
Thanks Steve! For the real estate agent - I think it's a great way to find and connect to local people on the "other" channels. What a great way to get a warm introduction.
Mike,
Never really looked into Empire Avenue.
Glad I didn't!
Enjoy your weekend!
I got sucked in about two weeks after you wrote this... I am still using the placeholder picture so I suck..but I like Empire Avenue.
I have met at least one very, very interesting local person through it.
