Did you ever think you could be rewarded for having lots and lots of followers on sites like Facebook and Twitter, and for all the comments you make and all the pages you like? That’s exactly what this startup is all about. Zuvvu is a platform that rewards you for your social media influence. This site connects you with brands that are looking for ways of reaching out to new customers, and that are willing to give you prizes based on your social activities, number of friends, comments, tweets, retweets and likes.
You get started by giving Zuvvu access to your Facebook or Twitter account, and submitting some personal information (IE, likes, hobbies, interests…). This will result in matching ads beginning to be displayed when you’re online, and you’ll get cash and gift coupons for clicking on them. Besides, you’ll be paid via PayPal or cheque for sharing products and offers with all of your followers.
So, this is a platform where everybody wins. Brands are given access to targeted and quantifiable word of mouth advertising on social networks, whereas people like you get to win cool prizes just by leveraging your social influence. Of course, it remains to be seen how well your followers really take to ads and promotions hitting their social streams all of a sudden. Some people take that as the ultimate offence, and (for them) it’s all the reason they could need to stop following someone. But that is taken when it comes to services like this one, isn’t it?
