What is Entrecard? Entrecard is a blogging network. You drop your card to show other bloggers that you visited their site. Other sites then drop their card on your site. Entrecard uses a currency – Entrecard Credits (EC for short). You can use this currency to buy adverts on other sites. They also have forums that you can participate in.
Entrecard gives members a 125×125 pixel space to create an ad for their website or blog. You take that ‘button’ and then you can use it to advertise on other sites. Think of it like a virtual business card that you drop in the proverbial ‘free lunch’ bucket at your favorite restaurant. It’s very similar to that.
If your card gets chosen, you’re the advertiser of choice for that 24 hour span. Breathe it, love it, get clicks through to your site if your ‘virtual business card’ is enough to spark interest.
Potential advertisers can search the Entrecard system by newest to join, by how many “credits” it costs to advertise, by blog title, by blogs who display the Entrecard badge, and blogs that are currently accepting ads.
So on the same token you, in turn, get credits for dropping YOUR card on other sites. People can see who has dropped on their site and usually honor the “U Drop, I Follow” mentality where if you drop your card on their site, they’ll drop a card on your site – giving you both credit for doing so. The key then is to have as many people as you can dropping cards on your site. How do you do that? Welp, by dropping cards around the Entrecard-o-sphere, which can be time consuming.
Glad you asked, but we think you see the formula if you’ve read the paragraph above. Dropping cards on other sites is taxing and time consuming, but it is nice to have the publicity it can drive. Well, as many people co-author websites they often times will share that responsibilities of authoring, marketing, researching, and advertising. We’re looking to help with the marketing side. We’re happy to be co-marketers with you and visit Entrecard sites for you to drop your card.
Additionally, we’re happy to join Entrecard discussions for you and help you to create a social media atmosphere around it for your site.
If you’ve ever used the system before and had to take a break from it – you’d notice that once you stop doing your daily drops, your traffic will drop. It is unfortunately, but the internet crowd is a fickle bunch. They won’t wait up for you and won’t scratch your back if you’re not scratching theirs. We’re that bridge between it. We’ll keep your site alive for a day, a week, a month, or forever if you’d like. We’re co-marketers of your site, let us help!
